BREyITY DESIRABLE IN AN ORATOR.
The mayor Of town in Burgundy
hearing that the prince was to pass
that way, and thinking himself to
be great orator, determined to dis.
play his abilities on this occasion.
When the prince approached, the
burghers were put under arms,
whilst the mayor at the head of the
corporation, pulling out long piece
of parchment, began to harangue as
follows: "Of all the towns that
have the honor of being within the
compass of your most serene high
ness's government, the very least
would be overjoyed to make you
sensible that none has so great a
zeal for your service or affection for
your person as ours. We very well
know that the certain way of pleas.
ing the greatest warrior of the pres.
ent age is to receive him with the
thunderings Of numerous artillery /;
but for us, alas it is impossible to
fire one cannon, forcig hteen reasons
The first is that there never was
such thing as a cannon in this
place since it was built. The sec.
ond-"Hold ! hold,'' said the prince,
II am so well satisfied with your
first reason, that l shall excuse all
the rest"

INVENTION AND EXPERIENCE.

- ---N~AOAt ~ef4f A<AA L-sAGNN6s
sInvention,n says Sir Joshua
Reynolds, sis one Of the great
mar ks Of genius but, if we consult
experience, we shall find, that it is
by being conversant with the inyen-
tions OF others, that we learn TO in
vent; as by reading the thoughts of
others We learn to think.
It is in vain for painters or poets
to endeayor to invent without ma
terials on which the mind may
work, and from which invention
must originate. Nothing can come
of nothing. Homer is supposed to
have been possessed OF all the Learn
ing of his time and we are certain
that Michael Angelo and Raphael
were equally possessed of all the
knowledge in the art which had been
discovered in the works Of their
predecessors.

Wellinyton's Industries,

According to the Enterprise, the
Wellington Brick Machine Manufacture
ing Co. shipped two car loads OF their
machines to Mexico last week. The
same paper also stated that the Box
Company's mill is running full time
turning out orders, and that Phelps
Bros. & Co., shipped this week car
load of grind stone frames to the Graf
ton Stone Co., with orders for large
number during the year. These last
named firms are also Wellington in
stitutions.-Oberlin News.
We can say in addition to the above
that the Wellington Bending Works
are shipping thousands ofbicycle hand
dies, in addition to their other stock,
and that they are working overtime,
T. Doland and G. B. Lindsey are hav-
ing a good trade in buggies and road
wagons.
Our shippers of cheese report that
trade is in good healthy condition,
and that the shipments SO far this
year will compare favorably with the
shipments of previous years. The
Wellington Flour Mills have been
running almost constantly, and furnish
80 per cent of all the -four. used in
Wellington. This speaks well for the
quality of flour manufactured by Mr.
Shelley. Wellington is improving
every day in substantial manner, and
is proud of her business places and
manufacturers.
