SOON BE ON EASY STREET.

The financial stringency which has
CONCEALED the money market the past
three or four months has had its eff
fects ON the financial affairs of the Sa-
ratoga q Encampment Railway, just
as it has on every other railroad in the
in the United States. While there
has been lack of funds to pay some of
its Indebtedness, and while some PEG
pie have been put to Inconvenience by
reason of this ack of funds, it has not
done, like some OF its larger brethren,
shut down work. pulled off men and
stopped all efforts in the line of con
struction and improvement.
Under great difficulties and most
embarrassing and discouraging condi-
tions, the road has gone steadily for
ward i'll the work of building the rest
of the line between Saratoga and En-
campment, and the improvement of
the road-beu where the line was finish
ed. There was plenty OF cause for it
to quit. 1t could have thrown up it's
hands and said: 'Gentleu.en we are
up against it for funds and will have
to stop work. We have plenty of mon
ey, but it is tied up by the panic and
we are unable to touch it,"
The result of such a course would
have been to stop almost every indus
try in the valley, for throwing men
out of employment would have react
ed on every business interest along
the line of road.
The Sun is Informed by Supt.
Young that funds will very soon be
available to liquidate all the indebted
ness of the road, and to enable it to
make prompt monthly payments in
future. When it is remembered that
when this company turns loose from
$4,000 to $4,000 in the valley it
ought not to be very hard for even the
knocker to see that it is going to put
everybody on easy street.
Now let every man do a little to-
ward helping the 5. d E. Railroads
are very much like individuals. You
can help them very much by using a
little common sense and forbearance
and giving them IA chance, or you can
tread on their coat tails and embarrass
them like the devil.

EXTRACTS FROM EMERsoN'S ESSAY
ON COMPENSATION"

The good are befriended even by
weakness and defect.
As no man had eve a point of pride
that was no injurious to him, so no
man ever had IA defect that was not
somewhere made useful to him.
The stag in the fable admired his
horns and blamed his feet, but when
the hunter came, his feet saved him,
and afterward, caught in the thicket,
his horns destroyed him.
Every man in his lifetime needs to
thank his faults.
As no nan thoroughly understands
a truth until he first contends against
it, so no man has IA thorough acquaint-
ance with the hiudrances OF talents of
men, until he has suffered from the
one,and seer the triumphs of the 9th,
or over his W want of the same.

The communication from "a Citi-
