paragraph taken from an Eastern paper,
handed to us by a friend, fits everywhere:
Don't go ; round bemoaning the woful
condition of business, &c, in y ur place;
for what is the use of "rumbling or la
menting? ! Nobody will take "courage
from what you say; none will bo moved
to wake up and stir about, by such dole
lui tales. ho that cares anything for
his own business or interests, "wishes to

and you will only make matters worse.

principle. Say the best, and keep the
