eral hours in walking round store eX- amining any or every article that takes my fancy without being worried to buy. Now in London this is not encouraged, although theoretically one is invited to inspect the goods, some shops even put ting up placard Inspection invited. But if you indulge in inspection you find you are invited to buy. The goods are not displayed to any extent on the counters, but are kept behind in stacks Of green boxes. Thus. if l want to buy a scarf walk up to the counter and definitely ask for the particular kind of scarf I require. The girl will always show you 8 selection of articles, but would feel very agglieved if you walked out without buying anything. Here i'll New York counters are piled with waists, linen and other goods from which you select without the aid of the shopgirl An American lady came to London recently, and, walking into fashionable shop. commenced to exam inc some of the articles she saw on the counter, not yet put away in their box es. The sl1opgirl came up immediately. Do you require one of these, madam| The lady made answer that she did not yet know, whereupon the shopgirl com menced to put the articles back into their boxes, not with any rude intent, but simply because goods are not all lowed to litter on the counters. But then English shops make much more display in their windows, novelties be- ing put in the windows every day. At a West end shop women often stand three and four deep gazing into the windows.
 Now the American system is surely better than the English, for customers are tempted to buy by not only seeing pretty things. but by handling them. But the shopgirls for this very reason are not so anxious to wait on cus- toner, for, indeed, they cannot tell whether she will be customer. And the shopgirls are not so immediately under the eye of the shopwalker. In London he is the absolute master of the girls, dictating what they shall do and when they shall do it, and woe to the girl who questions his authority She would promptly be requested to accom- modate herself elsewhere.
 London shop is seated and New York CTS shop standing. It is, of course, one of the features of the New World city that everybody is in too great hurry to take a chair" while in the older city we take things in a more leisurely way. Possibly when New York is as old as London sine will be tired of hur- rying and think of taking a rest. The men are the greatest hustlers. but even the women are nearly as much so. A New York woman bustles up and down a store, getting very hot and tired while a Londoner sits quietly in chair at the counter, and makes the shopgirl do all the bustling.
 But to the American, his store. and to the Englishman, his shops. After all, everything is matter of habit.-New York Post.

GOODBYE, OLD HORSE.
BY VIII Carleton

The pleasant days have gone their ways,
the world is getting old,
The wind is in the north again-the air is
damp and cold;
They turn their heads and laugh at lis
those days we used to win
And fortune when we ask for her, sends
word she isn't in.
The earth is growing bare and bleak, and
clouds are in the sky;
So must go and find the sun: my dear
old horse, good-byel
You had a speed and a rein we both
knew how TO trust:
Oh twas a mighty lively rig that gave us
any dust!
We made race track of the road
WIENER we had mind,
And you had not the faculty of following
Oh behind,
But luck went off another way, and never
told us why
And so I've got TO walk bt:-my dear
old horse, good-byel
whom we couldn't agree
Ana one cafesSed you by the bit, and one
took charge of me-
| knocked mine over with the whip, and
yours you trampled down.
And showed the rest set of heels uu-
rivalled in the town.
| said, "Old man, Wen never part till one
of us shall die"
But Ruin sneers at hearts and hands
One merry eve when ruby wine had turned
my brain to lead
Beside the road when halfway home
stopped and went TO bed
But | was watched by chivalry all through
my nights Disgrace
For when ! woke, your warm sweet nose
was cuddling round my face.
You vowed no harm should come to me,
with you lingering nigh;
I'd stay by you now if could-Good-b
old horse, good-byel

and friendly hands

And if my fate turns round again, aud

And golden stables shall be yours in

MIR. PROCTOR'S ANSWER.

The Waterman and Journal address,
ed to Fletcher d. Proctor this ques-
ton:
If Mr.. Proctor were elected Gov
ernor would he veto a license meas
IRE? If yes, on what grounds?
The assumption was that the Gen
eral Assembly sending the Governor a
license measure for his action thereon
had been lawfully chosen and all the
proceedings were i'll accordance with
the law and the Constitution.
Up to the date of the publication of
this issue of the paper no answer to
the foregoing inquiry had been receiv
ed. 1t seems, however, that a citizen
of Orleans county had sent Mr.. Proc
tor an inquiry covering the same mat
ter, which, with the candidates re-
ply, has been sent to this paper for
publication. Subjoined is the CORE
spondence

the Ex- Governors of our State stand
upon the pending governor question

appear to be taking any very active
part in the canvass. Their prefer

of them, as declared by others in con.

reported by their neighbors and
friends, are as follows;

For Proctor
Ex-Governor Woodbury..
EX- Governor Grout.
Ex-Governor Smith.
The two Elk Governors who are in
the United States Senate are omitted
from these lists, as being absent from
the State in discharge of their duties
at the national capital and presumably
giving little attention to State politics
Our Governors are prominent citi-
zens, and representative men. As
rule they well represent their con-
stituents, in intelligence, personal
character, acquaintance with the need
and wishes of the people and care for
the best interests of the State. We
have no doubt that in their prefer
ences on the governor question at this
time, the majority of them represent
the preferences of the majority of the
Republican voters. These may not as
yet be for Mccullough, quite in the
proportion of three to one but there
are other indications in abundance
that General Mccullough is heavily
in the lead of the other candidates
throughout the State. And Republi-
cans who are in doubt as to their
duty, can see that they will be in ex-
cellent company and will make no
mistake if they conclude to support
the candidate who is favord by such
men as those in the Mccullough col
umn above. Free Press

A lady in a Sunday school has a
class of small boys. Not long ago af-
ter the lesson was over, as was her
custom, she began to tell them some
thing about God. This time she
chose the power of God as her theme.
She told how he turned the water
into wine, opened the eyes of the
blind, made the lame to walk, " and
many other miracles illustrative of
Gods power. One little boy said, Il
know something God can't do. =" His
teacher said, "Why, that is wonder
full. What is it? l cannot conceive
of anything that God can't do. " The
little boy replied "He can't make
three year old colt in one day"

He was famous leader,
And in the Aldermanic board
The champion beef pleader.

And apopletic gurgling;
"A hungered are the hapless poor-
No wonder they go burglingl"
"We'u buy no bcef-of that be sure
Nor steak, nor cen rump roast;
Well starve the trust that starves the
poor
And hang EN- to a lamp-post!'
