She turns grass into green­ backs, grain into gold, and from the sand and gravel she coins silver. There is nothing else in the place to compare with her. The horses and cattle are heavy consumers, and to get their value we must part with them; but not so with the hen. In her sraall way she is a gold mine on the face of the earth; a mill that grinds that which others gver- loofc or refuse.--Ex. IT is truest courtesy to advertise. It is merely a polite invitation for people to come to yourstore and seeyou as well as your goods. It is a guarantee of fair and polite treatment to all who come. Every­ one likes the. polite and cordial person. Now this courtesy gets the people to your store. But you must sell the goods. ¥oa must stand by your promises in the advertisement or you will right off get the name of a falsifier and a cheat. That is ruin to a merchant.

BITCKLAND, the Nurseryman, of Ringwood, has just issued a price list of feie stock, for the Spring of 1894, which /comprises some of the finest Nursery stock to be found in the West. Mr. Backland makes this his entire busi­ ness, his stock is all home grown and his prices far below those of outside parties, Besideethls he warrants his plants to live and if they do not he is right here to make his guarantee good, while agents for foreign Nurseries care nothing but to get your order and if the plants or trees die the foreign Nurseryman has some technical grounds on which hecrawls out; you did not use proper care, or the agent made more promisee than he was au­ thorized to, etc., etc. Therefore we say buy your plants, trees, etc , of a! home dealer and you will g®t your moneys worth every time. Mr. Buckland has Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Shrubs and Flowers in abundance and will fill your orders on short notice and guaran­ tee to please you both in quality and price. See his price list if in want of any­ thing in his line. "THEY say" is the most productive plant in the garden Of gossip. The man or woman who is always loaded with in­ formation about what "they say," can usually be relied upon to spread a scan­ dal as the winds of the West spread fire in the dry prairie grass. When a lot of people, either male or feqiale, get togeth­ er and commence cackling about what they say," it generally results in scan­ dal, whether any real cause for it exists or not. It is a kind of smokeless powder which these human bushwackers use in their attack upon society. It enables them to fire their pellets of malice and mischief wtihout being seen. Too coward­ ly to come out openly and make their charges and having no real authority for the damaging insinuations, they fckulk behind the expression abovs quoted and significantly relate all about what they say," throwing in many knowing winks and nods, all the time expressing sorrow, surprise and regret in true hypo­ critical style. It is a good plan to never give "they say" as an authority for a statement, particularly if it is of a na­ ture to damage the good name of any person, c THE Ringwood Cemetery Aid Society will meet at the residence of Wm.

The stranger, anxious to know what kind of an impression he made, said to the clerk, "I hope' I did not shoot over the heads of the people?" "No, you didn't do that sir," "Was it a suitable theme?" asked the clergyman. "Yes, it was about right." "Was it too long?" "No, but it was long enough." "I am glad of that, for to tell you the truth, the other day as I was getting this sermon ready my dog destroyed four or five pages, and that has made it much shorter." •'Oh sir," said the clerk, "could you let our vicar have a pup of that s^ma dog?" v SPECIAL HOTICe.

C. M. CCRTM., EASTER day falls on Lady day this year for the first time in the history of the United States. The last time these two days fell together was in 1742, and they will not clash again, until 1954. Lady day has somewhat lost its signifi­ cance and importance of late years, and it has never been such a special day in this country as in some others, where the leasing and renting systems are more general. It is still, however, the first quarter day of the year, and although for convenience raits and premiums are generally made payable on March 31, the law in some states still recognise March 25th as quarter day.--Ex- THE Chicago later Ocean, that great Republican newspaper, has not suffered by the recent era of financial depression but has gone right along adding to its foundation stones--a large and substan­ tial circulation--with a stride that under the circumstances is truly wonderful. At one time additions to the subscription list were coming at the rate of 800 to 1,100 per day fpr the daily issue, and as high aa 1,500 perfday lor the Weekly later Ocean - | • The result of tt$s is to place it easily at the head of tfie list of great Chicago newspapers. It is certainly a good clean, family newspaper of the highest order. Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving cheer­ ing words while their ears can hear them. The kind things you mean to say when they are gone, say before they go. The flowers you mean to send to theircoffiins send to brighten. and sweettn their homes before they leave them. If bur friends have alabaster boxes laid away iull of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and iffection which they intend to break over >ur dead body, we would rather they ould bring them in our troubled and eary hours and opened that we may be freshed and cheered while we need them, e would rather have a plain wooden offln without a flower, a funeral with­ out a eulogy than a life without the sweetness of love and sympathy. Let us learn to annoint our friends before hand for burial. Post mortem kindness does not cheer the burdened spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance backward over the weary.

Doubtless the PLAINDEALEB readers understand that the Deaconess' Home is a home for Deaconesses whose duty and pleasure is to relieve to some extent, want and woe from what ever cause. The hosts of unemployed have this sea­ son increased the rank and file of this oppressed and well nigh vanquished army, that the means for relief are in­ sufficient to assist to the extent needed the deserving, thoae whose failure to provide for their own, is not because of their own faults. To these and other ^deserving ones the Deaconesses are giv­ ing such assistance as is in their power. When these devoted ones are giving their time and talent, shall not we help in some way ? A very small sum of money, or an out grown garment, pr a cup of jelley may seem very little, but it may mean more than we can imagine to the very sick, the one almost in despair, the homeless, the friendless. Shall we not bring a ray of light aad warmth and cheer. Those reliefs are not distributed promiscuously, but after careful investigation as there are so many deserving ones, it would not do to waste on the professional beggar, that which might, though meaning little to you, be the actual means of preserving life and arousing a desire- for righteous­ ness.
