A Collecting Agency.

The merchants Of Union City
are organizing local collection
agency, and the ones having the
enterprise in charge are meeting
with a great deal of encourage
ment and the concern will doubt
less be in working shape by the
18th of June at the latest.
\ The plan, as we understand it, is
FOR the merchants of the city to
pay SO much per month or GER
tain per cent. of the amount col
lected into the treasury of the
agency to defray expenses of same.
The concern will have nice Office
and employ two or perhaps three
experienced collectors and book
keepersl On the first day of the
month q eh merchant makes out
his accoti is and turns them in to
the manager of the agency and
certain days of each month will be
devoted to some particular mer
chants bills, and Of course a per
son owing any merchant bill can
find his account at the office OF the
agency any day of the month and
can obtain receipt for same if he
so desires. 1t is claimed by the
promoters of the plan that the
merchants have not the time to
devote TO this important line of
the business; and that they have
all they cal do to attend to the ey-
eryday dut BIS of the store; that on
the first if a man calls at the store
he probably has to wait until the
merchant or clerk gets through
waiting on cus toner, that the
statesmen who are usually put out
collecting are the first ones needed
in the store; and that the business
in this line will not justify any one
merchant to employ a good man
to look after it, but by all cooper
ating they can get rid Of lot of
worry and work and get the bust
ness attended to for very small
expense to the individual mer-
chant. 1t is thought that the local
agency, if properly
will be great benefit
to each buyer and seller.

ak and was thoroughly enjoyed by
Ne large crowd present.

THE HOME VOYAGE.

He hears above the tempest that blows
on Jordan'S banks,
The shouting of the captains in the
halleiuia ranks!
His barque steers sure to haven and
rides the toughest sea,
And still a star streams steadfast on
the stormiest Gallilee.
Forevermore Faith signals in theshad-
ows of the night
The harbor-bells ring welcOme-the
green shores are in sight,
And soon the clouds will yanish-the
strife and danger cease,
And the sails be furled forever in the
port of love and peace.

THE SCHOLAR.

He walks in calm and thoughtful way
And lets the mad world leave him;
His dearest friends his books;and they
Too truthful to deceive him!
There are his loverS-Old and new,
In lands of Time left hazy;
Far CLEANS of sunlight, and the dew
That dripped on some dead daisy.
Let life be false to tenderest ties,
And all it's friendships sever,
His books shall solace all his signs
Friends to his soul forever.

ENGLISH MARRIAGES
POVERTY CAUSES MANY TO WED
YOUNG.
Many Wives and Widows of Fifteen to
Twenty Years-Custom Impaires the
Efficiency of the Nation.

A. Montehore Brice, writing for the
London Daily Mail says that in Lon
don there are 10000 married persons
who are 20 years of age or under. The
latest report shows that in the metro
polls there are 10 wives aged 10, %
wives and widows aged IS. 1914 wives
and widows of II years of age, 971 aged
49, PIP aged 10, and 6672 wives and
| widows at 20 years. The husbands are
naturally fewer. Yet there are 7S7 hus-
bands from 16 to 10 years old, and 2022
just 20 years of age.
Mr.. Brice says that the proportion of
these boy and girl marriages is inva-
rial bly, greatest where the social state
is least advanced. The majority of
such marriages are contracted in alb
solute poverty. Not a sovereign-no,
| nor half a sOVereign-has been saved.
| The few 'sticks'-and sticks, indeed
they are,-are obtained on the hire sys-
tem-one shilling down. The girl-wife
can neither cook nor sew: to sweep and
scrub she is averse as well as unaccus-
