Indian Signal Fiuks. It is gpn 'r

A Mortgage. In the whole
range of saiTud and profane litera
ture, pcrhuis there is nothing .re
corded which lias such staying
qualities as a good healthy niott
gage. A mortgage can bo depend
ed upon to stick closer than a broth
er. It has u mission to pet form
which novor lets up. Day after
.lay it is right there, nor does the
slightest tendency to slumber im
pair Us vigor iu the night. Night
and da, on the Sabbath, and at
holiday times, without a moment's
time for rest and rcceutmit, tlio
offspring of its existence,
interest goes on. The sea ions mty
change, days run inti weeks,
weeks into mouths, and montli3
ma- be swallowed up into the gray
man of advancing years, but that
mortgage stands up in sleeple
vigilance, with tlie interest a pcr
rennial stream ceaselessly running
on. Like a huge nightmare eat
ing out the sleep of some restless
slumberer, the unpaid mortgage
rears up its gaunt trout in perpetu
al torment to the miserable- weight
who is held within its pitiless
clutch. It holds the poor victims
with the relentless grtsp of a giant;
not one hour of recreation, not a
moment's evasion of its hidious
presence. A genial savage of mod
ifying aspect while the tnteiest is
paid; a very devil of hopejess.de
Btruction when the payments' fail."' '
