to have the disease, and found no founda-

parties were well, and had. not been ex-
posed to any case of smallpox. 1t caused

A BUSINESS PARABLE.

Once farmer had one thousand eight
hundred bushels of wheat, which he sold,
not to single grain merchant but to one
thousand eight hundred different dealers,
bushel each. A few Of them paid him
In cash, but far the greater number said
II was not convenient then. but would pay
later. A few months passed, and the
mans bank account ran low. How is
thls?' he said. MY one thousand eight
hundred bushels OF grain should have
kept me In aff1uence until another crop is
raised. but have parted with the grain
and have instead only u vast number OF
accounts, SO small and scattered that !
cannot get around and collect 1t fast
enough to pay my expenses" So he post
ed up public notice and asked all those
who owed him to pay quickly. But few
came. The rest said, mime Is only a
small matter, and will go and pay one
OF these days." forgetting that though
each account was small, when all were
put together they meant large sum to
the man. Things went on thus: the man
gOtto feeling so badly that he fell out OF
bed and awoke, and running found his
one thousand eight hundred bushels OF
dreaming, and hadn't sold his wheat at
all.
Moral-The next day the man went to
the publisher OF his paper and said: Here
sir, Is the pay for YOUR paper; and when
next years subscription Is due YOU can
depend on me to pay 1t promptly. stood
In the position Of an editor last night,

Quincy Herald; The home merchant
is the man who gives you credit when
you hove no cash to buy the necessaries
Of life. The home merchant is the man
who helps you to paw the taxes that run
your schools and builds your roads. The
home merchant is the man to whom you
will appeal in times of distress for favors.
Then why should you ignore him when
you desire to make purchase? He sells
as good goods and at as low figures as the
man who is not in your town. The hills

THE FLORIDA OF THE FUTURE.

Floridians are proud Of the rapid devel-
opmept and the prospective riches Of
their State, and these each faithful citi.
lzenst will advance with all his strength
OF hand and brain. But he should not
forget that there Is even higher c0ndi'
tion than that which comes Of material
prosperity, and that one is comparatively
valuless as we'll as evsnescent without
the other For no greatness can long en-.
dure that has no more solid foundation
than gold and big guns. .ie il.
The first duty Of q government to Its
people Is the dispensation Of justice un-
der the law. How do we discharge that
obligationP Are the weak safe, the strong
restained, the wicked punished, and the
evil corrected in Florida to day? II not,
the future OF the State is not without
danger, and the duty OF the citizen Is
plain.
The second duty Of the State is homes
ty. We tax the Individual for the good
OF the whole-is the sum so collected re-
ligiously devoted TO the purpose for which
It is collected, the accounts kept straight
and the obligation implied when the pow
er was granted fully discharged In the
spirit Of the letter? II not, we are setting
bad example to the next generation, for
which we shall sit in sackcloth and ashes
we are planting seed which may bring
us harvest of blood and tears.
There is power abroad which in free
governments is higher than the law,
above the courts-a very despot in all
that pertains to public interests. Is the
public opinion In Florida-that which
makes and unmakes laws-pure In its
tone, elevated In its aims, as we'll as ire
sistible In Its effects? Does 1t frown on
the evIl-doer, however rich or cultivated
does 1t support merit, however poor and
weak?
Unless 1t does, we have no right to pity
the poor serf of another land who wor-
ships mortal because he wears crown
and bows before iniqulty on throne be-
cause sword stands beside 1t.
We have been free for centuries-have
weyet learned to discharge the duties
and responsibilities that accompany our
freedom, as well as to boast that we yet
have that our fathers won and kept?
Let Floridians ask themselves these
questions. II there is aught amiss, we
should set ourselves to Its correction. If
not, We are JUDGED happy people, and
have reason to boast Of our condition and
feel confident Of our future. For the
State we are responsible Union
and Citizen.
