it may not come. To get ready,
we ought to get our money

Such risks belong to the
business the losses have got
to be met to make sure of the
profits. 1t isn't all fair weather
in business.
There is another way to get
through these difficulties; that
is to lie and cheat ; to pretend
to sell cheap and not do it.
You scarcely need to be told
that. the custom of shopkeep-
ers generally-we don't like to
call EN- merchandise to pre-
tend and not do. 1t is the Gus
tom of saying one thing and
doing another that levels us
all.
You distinguish between us
though. You know, and yet
you do not always use your
prudence. 1t is so easy to
slip ; and hard to be always
guided by Judgment.

On cHERRY ISLAND FLATs.

The Philadelphia Times says editor
tally: Cherry Island flats are now
being dredged. and if the mud compos-
ing the flats is not too thin to main
tain a channel when dredged, the pros
poets are that a narrow, deep water
channel will be furnished before the
freezing weather compels the dredgers
to cease work. The work has been in
progress for ten days, and is being
pushed as rapidly as possible. The
contractors were not required to begin
work until next April, but, yielding to
the request Of the maritime interest Of
this city, they have undertaken to fur
nish a channel for the use of large ves-
sells during the coming Winter Il is
gratifying to be able TO look forward
to a prompt improvement in the nayi-
cation Of the Delaware. and il is q pity
some of the other shoal places are not
already receiving the attention OF

a proclamation declaring that all three

state they show that James G. Shaw.
sr., and James G. Shaw are one and the

presumes the name to be that of the
elder and not that Of the younger.

PLEA OF FOUR JURORS.
Josiah Marvel, attorney for Thomas
Willis, colored, convicted OF the muir
der of his child, to-day filed his reasons
with the clerk of the peace for q new
trial. The principal grounds are that
four jurors asked the court II a recon-
mendatiOn OF mercy would be received
and under the impression that IL would
commute his sentence to life imprison-
ment so rendered their verdict of
guilty.
Other reasons stated are that the
jury did not give the prisoner the bene-
iit of the reasonable doubt; that the
jury was under a Misrepresentation as to
the effect of the verdict; and that the
court erred in refusing to admit GER
tain evidence offered by the defence.
They will be called up for argument
