The most extravagant living is cheap living. A meal of the very cheapest food is very apt to be a meal of some poor quality of provision. A meal of suchfood gives little or no strength to body'or mind. Your strength of body and mind is your main stock in trade. It has a value in dollars and cents. A steady diet of poor food may make 3'ou, if not "sick-a-bed," sick on your feet, sick while at your business, lessen your snap and vigor, and so lose you money. Cheap things, when they arc poor things (as m most cases they are), cost far more than good things. You buy a cheap trunk. It bursts asunder in compliance with the effort and prayer of the baggage-slinger, betrays secrets, lets cats out of the bag, and so eosts far more money, and pains besides, than a good one. Yqji buy a suit of cheap clothes. They look cheap io cuuiunMiiMj wiia. ai is not a ousi ness recommendation to "look cheap." In three weeks the gloss is worn off. They fade as a leaf. In six week3 they look as much worn as a really good texture of cloth would be in four months. You pay for two suits of clothes more than for one good one You get from them neither wear, quality or style. You do get a second or third-rate recommendation from them to that class of people who judge a man by the "cut of his jib,1' and grumble at it as much as you may, these arc a very necessary class of people to make a good impression on. So cheap dressing is very extravagant dressing. Economy means the purchase and use of the very best articles, so as to get the very best out of them. A sick horse may be bought for a little money, to be of Llittle or no use, a care on your mind, an expense to your pocket, and a bringer to you of nothing but worry, inis is an extravagant horse. Competition which seeks to lower the price of every thing is the death of trade. It cuts down lower and lower, until at last no profit is left any one. Then the factory stops. The workman has nothing to do. The boss fails, absconds or goes into other business. Competitive cheap labor does not tend to make artists. It does tend to make imitators, copyists and counterfeits. A skilled needlewoman one who took an artistic pride in her work said to me after a week's expe rience in one of New York's great re tail bazaars, where scores of cheap dresses "in the latest style" were turned out daily. "There is no en couragement in our workshop for good, . . - 1 l rT'i - 1 i-arciui, painstaking wors. j.ne gin who can rush the most thread through the most yards of cloth and turn out the most dresses in reality not much more than basted together, is the one best praised and best paid by her employer. When you buy such a dress you en courage the making of shams, imita tions, counterfeits. You encourage work done without conscience, and onljor cash. You discourage honesty. You discourage the doing of work in which should be put brains, skill, care. conscious and time. That is another name for artistic work. You are help ing on fraud. You help rascality. You oppose yourself to justice and fair deal ing. If you buy where you can buy the cheapest, without regard to any thing save the getting of an article for the least possible money, you are en couraging fraud and injustice. xou claim that vour labor is illy paid. Yet when you hunt for the cheapest article and patronize the man determined to sell lower than all, you are putting money in the pocket of the man whose policy it is to cut down lower and lower the price of every hing he sens. 11 you are mamng brooms for a living and he is selling them, it is his aim to force you, di rectly or indirectly, to make your brooms for tho least possible money, rhe world of manufacture is now engaged in the endeavor to make everybody do its work tor as little money as possible in making as good an article as possible. When you go into the manufacture of shoes or hats you set your wits at work to get other people's labor for the least possible money in making those shoes or hats. You want the work done and raw material raised for you and brought to j-ou for the least possible money. You don't care whether Tom, Dick or Harry, who grows the article, or prepares it, or freights it to you, gets a fair price for his work or not. Xou don t care how they live or whether they get enough to cat or wear. You don't know them. You don't want to know them. All yon want of them is their strength, skill and intelligence for as little money as possible, so that when all that strength and skill comes to you in the shape of a bat or coat, a pair of shoes, a kettle, a shovel, or a tin pan, you can get four, six, eight or ten times as much for the work you do in selling it as they have none in geixing it reaay xoryou to sen. If you (be you laborer or merchant, capitalist or trade-unionist) buy a very good article at a very low price, you congratulate yourself on having made a good bargain. Do yon ask: "Was the man fairlv paid for his labor who made this article?" Do I ask it? When I am trying to beat down the price do I not say, with the psalmist: "It is naught it's a poor piece of goods any way;" but when I am gone my way do I not boast of my bargain and hold it up before my neighbors and say:-"Lo! 1 bought tins pan tor a nickel but it costeth ten cents elsewhere?" But am my brother's keeper? Prentice Mul ford, in San Franrtsco Chronicle. A large oyster bed has been dis covered on the flats near Fall River, Mass., and the people of the vicinity ire helping themselves freely. Several rears since a schooner laden with DVster shells capsized in a squall off Will iam Sladc's flats. This is thought to be the origin of the bed.

Essay read by SUss Julia Hamilton at the gradu ating exercises held iu Slocum's hill ou the cvo of June 3, lSdV.J Language is that which communir cates knowledge to our senses bo it taught by an animate or inanimate ex istence. The language that the ear rfceives is not the only one that im parts wisdom to the mind; the approv ing glance, tho painful expression, tho merry Jangh, and falling tear speak "to us of the feelings of those around us in a language more forcible than words could express. History, the silent re cord of the hopes, ambitions disap pointnients and victories of the world's great characters in past ages, is in reality a tale that was told ; yesterday, is retold to day and will le repeated throughout the numberless cycies of a never ending future. What human ear can conceive of the awfulness of the combination cf sounds' that ascend from earlh to the Most High. The murmuring of many waters combined with the thunder of bursting volcanoes is to his supieme ear, simply the lan guage of a soulless force. These tre mendous noises are the canonade that tell to the mighty Commander of Na ture's warfare, but as the gentle voice of a loved one is sweeter and dearer to the human ear than cannon roar or battle shout, so the bleating of a lamb or the song of a bird is dearer to the ear of tho Creator than the roar and thunder of nature's lifeless ailillery. The seasons have each a different lan guage, by the budding flower and sing- ing bird we know that spnnj is ad vancing, but as the mild sunshine is gradually transformed into a shower of scorching rays and vegetation assumes a dry, parched appearance, we know sumniei has arrived. Then the falling leaf and ripening fruit tell us that sum mer is ended, and autumn the busiest season of the year has made its appear ance. Ice, frost and snow will soon say that winter has come. Every form of life i3 a volume of ideas, containing history of the past and prophesy for the future. The lowest insect in the animal creation has a history that if studied correctly and diligently, will teach many valua- ble lessons. The symmetry of the simp lest flower says in unmistakable terms that God is perfect in all his works from the loftiest star that glitters in -Heaven to the tiniest speck of sand that lies hidden in the depth of the sea. By the language of the Bible we are taught that our Creator was a voice. and nature is a divine word. How terrible must have been the voice that in the beginnipg penetrated the dark ness and brought forth light, bade new worlds appear, and formed livingbeings out of lifeless clay nor ceased to labor until this work became so perfect that le same voice blessed it. Although partially obscured by the mystery and mist of centuries, how eloquently and truthfully the pyramids of Egypt speak of a mighty race. As symbols fliA iwr.ivmrle flrA f bo lanrmnofA rvf irrnn,.- IV 0 "o" - ance, superstition and mere earthly ambition. The language that speaks of the high virtues of Moses, St. Pauli eter, John and other similar ancient characters is much grander and nobler in comparison to these massive piles of shapeless stones. The world speaks of the noble qualities of these men in a way that they will always be held up to posterity as the beacon lights of vir tue. The bent form and hoary locks of the aged pilgrim 011 life's highway speaks plainly of a life that 13 nearly spent, and hints to the bystander that one so similar to his God may hope for an existence beyond the tomb. How grand! How sublime is language, the vast meaning and limitless expanse of knowledge it conveys is beyond the conception of any mortal being. , S ..-..WM.M Chestnut i Xete Shtlln.
