A eertaiii paper explains that 5 few of those paid him cash, but far the greater nuir.l>€r said it wan not convenient then, but they would jiay later. A' few monthi passed and tho man'a bank account run low. '• Hnw is this, " ho said, " my 1000 bushels of wheat should hayo kept mo in affluence uutil another crop is raided but lo 1 I have parted with the grain and have in its stead only a large am mm of small accouiits, snsmsll and numerous a;ul Rcnttcr'Mg that I cannot yet arouud and collect fast enough to pay expenses." So he posted a public notice and asked all who owed him to come and pay quick- ly. But only a few came. The rest said: "Mine is only a little and I will CO and pay one of these days," forgettif g that though each account is vary small, when all were put together they meant a larKo sum to the man. Things wore thus until the man got to feeling so badly and rolled and tossed about so in his efforts t,o collect that he fell out of bed and aw. ike, and quickly running to tho granary found his 1000 bushels of grain still safe. Ho had only been dreaming and had not sold his wheat at all. Moral â€" "The next day the man went to the publisher of hia home paper and said : " Here, sir, ii ttte pay foi yjiur paper and when the next year's sub- scription is duo, you can dopeiid on me to ])ay prompMy. I btood in the position of the editor last night and I know how it ftels to have one's hard earned dollars scattered all over the country in amall Bcconnts." And the editor smiled and said: " How straiijie, you are tho first man who ever leemed to look at this matter from my standpoint." Is your subscription due ?

Postmaster General Mulock has re. arranged the tariff of caoiDiissions pay- able on poatoflice money orders. The changoa are designed to meet the competition of the express companies, which hare been effectively catering to the public as money sending mediums. For some time past the postotfice De- partment has been getting all the small orders and the express companies all the larger ones, and with a view t6 altering this stato of things the tariff en small orders is to be increased and that an larger ones decreaaed. While this change may on the face of it seem to bear more Heavily on the poor man than on the rich, the expedi- ency of alteration from a GoTornnient- I'uvonue standpoint is easly recogniz- ud. Heretofore the commission on post- ofKco orders up to 94 has been 2 cents ; on sums over 85 and up to $10, 6 cents ; over 910 and up to 820, 10 cents ; over 820 and up to 940, 20 cents; over $40 and up to 960, 3U cents ; over $60 and up to 980, 40 cents ; over 9^0 and up to 9100, 50 cents. After April 1st the tariff on postage orders up to 92.50 will be 3 rents; on ordoff' over 92 50 and up to 95. 4 cents; over 95 and up to 9IO1 •* cents ; over 910 and np to $20, 10 cents ; over $20 and up to $30, 12 cunts; over 930 and up to S40, 16 cenU ; over 940 and up to $50, 20 cents; over $50 and up to $60, 24 cents ; over $l>0 and up to 970, 28 cents ; over 970 and up to 980, 32 cents ; over 980 and up to $00, 36 cents ; over $90 and up to $100, 40 cents. The rates on orders are payable in the United Kingdom'atid in foreign countries and tho Uritish posaessiuns stand as they aro. For the sake of compariscm the tarilT charges by the express companies are appended, as follows : â€" $3 and under, 5 contH ; over 95 and up to $10, 8 cents ; over $10 and up to $20, 10 cents; over 920 and up to $30, 12 cents ; over 930 and up to $40, 15 cents; over $40 and up to 950, 20 cents ; over $50 at tho samn rales. ment for tha same reiuob. This state of things is a disgrace to a Christian country and shiiuld be stopped by amendint; the vagtancy law so thac no old persona can be set't to jail simply for tho purpose of relieving the municiiia'ity in which they reside of the cost of thoir care, Nu person requiring ho.spital treitment should be allowed to enter any of tl^e jails for that purpose. The hou.sing of old people in our j lili lertds to a lax state of niiin.i^te-iient bj' thi' officials, and nearly all tho e8capes of criminals are ailributa'olo to Ibis cause. In a number of the j:iii« there are oM poopU who have been inniatos for years, and they occupy the ceiU ai;d rooiii.s re- quired for crnuioal pris>uuis, cauding much inconvenimoe to the ofbuiaU. Like infants, they require special care and an entirely different dietary. It is due to some of the counties »>f the pro- vince to state that during the past two or three yearn they have provided comfurt- able county homes for the care <if their poor, and a few others are slowly moving along the same lines. But, notwith- standing the liberal pruvLsion omde by the goTernmei.t to assist counties in tt.e •reetion of such institutions, I fear that this v?ry necessary action will unt become general until there is a compul- sory law passed to that end. " " So far as we know," R:iy the Mitchell Advocate, " There i» only one man in Mitchell to-day who was (here thirty years ai;o, when the Advucate wisetarted by its present proprietor. Ami the re- markable thing is that n t one nf them retired with a dollar to bis credit, nearly all being bankrupts. The stiine thing applies to every town in Canada, and yet there are people who claioi that the busi- ness man's life is an easy one, and tliut be makes money where others fail. Keuuetb McDiarmid was killed by a boiler explosiuu at Glamniis, near Paisley. Dr. Chamberlain, inspector of prisons and public nbaritiea,, has something to say in his annual report anenl the need for hou.sos of refuge in many counties, includ- ing our own. " I have again to report, " sjiys the inspector, " that many of our "jails cnntinuo to be used as county houses of refuge and hospitals. O'd people, des- titute of home and friends, are coiiHtunt. ly being committed to juil by justices of tho peace, and [xilice magistrates, under the Vsgrnncy Act, in order to save some little expense to tho municipalities in which those unfortunate people havo been residing. In some placet the sick have been cuminittod to jail (or medical trei^t'.
