Iarpe Prices Fer Unexpired Leases.

Two hundred thousand dollars is said to
have been paid for an unoXpired lease in
Boston, and tho tenant of an office in u
building which it was intended to improve
is said to have been paid $4,000 to find
another room. In fact, long leases of we'll
situated buildings in u growing city are
often very good property. Many a man has
secured for himself Il good Income, and
sometimes large one, for several years,
without any trouble and practically with
ont risk, by taking advantage of an oppor-
tunity to secure on moderate terms long
lease of an estate already occupied or avail
able for tenants. If the income received
from the subtenants does not pay the
agreed rent of the estate, a little energy
expended in getting tenants for the unoc-
cupied rooms will generally be sufficient to
make UP the deficit, and the increasing de-
mand which is sure tofOIlOw the extension
Of business soon justifics advances in the
subrents, to the profit of the principal
lessee while there are always chances that
the principal lease may, through some I'M
forosccn contingency, be disposed of at
large profit.-American Architect.

lie watched and saw towheaded girl
disappear down path which led through
truck patch until she stopped upon a
small board platform. He saw her let Il
rope rapidly down, but there appeared to
be no bucket attached, and he heard no
knocking against the sides OF tho well
such rs bucket usually makes in its de-
scent. When it was drawn up again, the
girl had changed her position so that ho
could not see what was on the end of the
rope but he did not hear her set q bucket
down, and after she had left saw only
what looked like u bunch of weeds dam
gling from the rope. But she brought tho
water. and it appeared all right

asked, without bucket"

Anxious to see the bucket that had been
''fisked up" and cleaned" the traveller
made some excuse to step to the well, and

when it was let down would absorb as
much water as one person could draw up
and hold q good share Of it until it was

OF the difficulties he had with the field

POETRYS CADENCE.

Just like the whippoorwill's clear song
So little in it, yet 50 much
Doth seem tho poets tuneful lay
That brings our hearts with his in touch
The sharp notes of the whippoorwill
With music echo in the air.
We miss them when the song has ceased,
And yet they seem to linger there.
So ever present seems to be
The cadence Of the poets lay.
1t seems to echo in the heart
After the song has passed away.
And who is there who ever heard
The clear noses of the whippoorwill
Who is not glad that it has sung
Or does not wish twas singing still?
