The credit system has caused many a man to go'to the wall. There are far too many wno are willing to buy if pay-day is plac- ed at some time in the future. But pay-day comes with wonderful rapidity, and finds the debtor too often unprepared. While credit causes ruin to many, it should not be wholly condemned. Often a. man is unable to pay cash when in need of an article he can’t well do without. Only when he can see his way clear to meet payment should he allow himself to go into debt. and, notwithstanding the most careful forethought, there may be something come up a to interfere with his good inten- tions. The best laid schemes are liable to miscarry, but chances must be taken Sometimes. THE CAUSE OF JUSTICE Robert Knolls has been found guilty of manslaughter, and sent- enced to fifteen months’ hard lab- or at the Central Farm. This was a case where a lot of H'allowe’en hoodlums assembled at the home of the defendant. To drive them away, he used a gun. which he discharged four times’. One bullet struck a young man named Ferry. and he died from the effect. The iudge in reviewing the case. it is said. charged strongly against the prisoner. He pointed out that “no man had any right to take the law in his oxvn hands, and that Knowles should have gone about his business and in the event of molestation to have taken the proper course and laid an information against the :ulprits.” This looks very nice in theory, but how is a man to find out who the culprits are? and when he inesOfind them out how is he go“ ing to prove, anything against them?

The thoughtless buy er who involves himself without consider- ation is the one‘most likely to fail. While accepting credit has caused many to fail, there are others who would never be worth a dollar if they hadn’t taken chances. A man of the right stamp who assumes a liability will find some way of working out from under the burden, and the fight necessary to overcome the diffi- culty will make him stronger for the next time. o Johzn McAulay, chief of nonce 11) Owen Sound for over a quarter oi a century. was stricken with paralysis about a year ago, and knowing he would never regain his usual health and strength, re- signed his posjtion last summer. {HE DUQHAM SHRUNICLE , IgEX CSIEF McAULEY DEAD 3 ted O ct too often ‘ the moiety of DIRHAM.

A very interesting address was delivered last night in the town hall, by Rev. Mr. Morris. It was St Patrick’s night, and.the meet- ing and entertainment were under the auspices of the Public Library. Mr. Morris is not long from Ire- land, and still retains a sugges- tion of the brogue by which a close observer would be able to guess at his nationality. The ad- dress of an hour’s duration was pleasing and profitable.

In the Sudan campaign as the Brit- ish troops approached Oxndurman the Khalifa Abdull‘ah conceived the idea of upsetting the British gunboat ex- pedition by mining the N‘iie. A former omcer of the. Egyptian army whom he had long 'held prisoner was order- ed by the khalifa to construct a couple of mines. which were produced forth. with. They were primitive in form. .consisting. in fact. of two old .iron boilers stuffed with gunpowder, in which was concealed a pistol with a string attached to the trigger whereby; the charge could be exploded The ‘ first mine was laid by the lsmailia.‘ ‘ worked by a native crew. and demon- i strated its efficiency by exploding on the instant sinking the lsmailia and killing the crew. including the mine _ constructor. I The khdlifa was delighted, not at the accident. but at the testimony to the power of the invention. and immedi- ately ordered the emir in charge of his arsenal to lay the second mine. The ameer, profiting by experience. insured his safety by putting the Nile into the boiler before he put the boiler into the Nile. He then carried out the immer- sion successfully. to the joy of Abdul- lah, who loaded him with “presents and praises."~Mnm-lwster :‘ruardian. The Faults of Others. Charity does not require of us that we should not see the faults of others, but that we should avoid all needless and voluntary observing of them and that we should not be blind to their good qualities when we are so sharp sighted in their bad ones. What if others are Weak, is that a reason for your no longer keeping any measure with them? You that eomnlain of their troubling you. do you give no- body any trouble? You that are so shocked at the faults you seeâ€"if all to whom you have been troublesome should return the trouble they have had with you. you would be oppressed with the weight. and, besides. even‘ supposing that men had nothing to re- proach you with. yet consider, further, what obligations you be under from God to show forbearance toward oth- ers for whieh you know you have such abu’ndant occasion at his hands.â€" Fenelon. \ Tennessee’s Marbles.
