Be Happy d

He that hath SO many causes or Joy,
and so great, Is very much in love
with sorrow and peevishness, who
loses all these pleasures, and chooses
to sit down upon his little handful Of
thorns. Enjoy the blessings OF this
day, If God sends them; and the evils
Of it bear patiently and sweetly, for
this day only is ours. We are dead to
yesterday and we are not yet born to
the morrow. But If we look abroad
and bring into one days thoughts the
evil Of many, certain and uncertain,
what will be and what will be,
our load will be as intolerable as it
is urreasonable.-Jeremy Taylor.

become so deficient in the soil as to
limit the yield of the crops deserves

BUSINESS STILL FAVORABLE
Fine Crop Prospects Dispei All the
Tariff Apprehension in
West.

New York, May 26.-Bradstreet's
review of trade says: 1t is difficult to
find a keynote that will at once char
acterize trade the country over, but
large business continues favorable,
the Western situation in these re-
spects being almost antithetical to the
impression prevailing in the East.
Presumably the West is buoyed by
sanguine wheat crop prospects and
in that section of the country there
does not appear to be much apprehen-
sion as regards u~nfavorable conse-
quences from tariff reyisions.

crops, but manufacturers n mer-
chants still pursue a conservative pol
icy, pending the termination Of tariff
uncertainty. Sneh recession in trade
as exists is chiefly in the absence OF
new orders for future delivery.

Friday told him that his daughter

The movements of the runaway girl
