PECK’S BAD BOY AftD HIS PA.
I Frifhtens Hi* Pa With Sapernatnral \olseg
Talkaabcit making Money by Failing.
“Wish you a happy New Year,
I will take it in oranges,” said
he bad boy as he smiled on the
vrroceryman, and began filling his
*°cL.ets with the luscious tropical
fruit.
“Jast you hold on,” said the gro
eery man, as he stopped the hoy from
taking any trore. “Here’s a herring.
When anybody wishes another a
h PP.V New Year he should allow 7
tho victim the privilege of selecting
the weapons, aa they do in a duel.
Now, oranges are liable to give you
the winter colera, and if they did. I
would be liable of damages, bnt you
take this smoked herring and eat it,
and I will take the chance,” and the
grocery man unleaded the boy’s pock
et® and handed him the herring.
“Dear me, what a freehearted old
fellow you are,” said the boy, as he
took off his mitten and began peel
ing the herring. “Here, you’d bet
ter take back the head and skin of
this herring and give me a cracker,
and then I will tell you what a brave
man pa is.
“Tell me about your pa. I h aven’t
bmrii anythiag from him for a long
time, 7 ' said tne groceryman ab he
handed the boy the cracker, and sat
down on a half bushel measure by
the stove.
“Well, you see, last night we got
to talking about haunted houses.
Ifesaid whenever any unusual noise
was heard in a house, instead of in
vestigating it, people got scared and
went arouad talkihg about the house
being haunted,and before long every
body believed it, the reputation of
the house was ruined, and everybody
was nervous. Pa said haunted
houses was on a par with spiritual
ism, and people of sense ever
took stock in either. He said if I
ever hoard of a haunted house, to
let him know 7 and he would go
through it and investigate it in the
dark. I thought to myself, ‘boss,
you can’t fool Hennery,’ and I laid
for pa. That’evening my chum’s cat
came ovor to visit our cat, apd when
it was time to go to. bed the two cats
were sleeping by the stove, and pa
told mo I better put the cats out
doors and go to bed. So I took the
cat* up carefully and raised up the
cover to the piano, and laid the cats
down in the bacK side of the instru
ment, among the strings, and pet
ted them, and they went to sleep,
*nd I shut down the cover, and we
all went to bed. Pa and ma sleep
right over the parlor, and I sleep at
the back of the house. Along about
two o’clock in the morning, about
'he time cats usually get woke up
*nd begin to prowl around, there
was a faint scratchiug of toe-nails on
'he strings, and a yowl, that sounded
s though it came from the sewer.
it was evidently music, such as you
uet at boarch'Dg houses where p
>arder practices on the piano for
er board. I listened and * pretty
*oon there were two ‘meous’ and a
spit,’ and the strings acted as though
• hey were being walked on the way
a cat does when she puts her paws
up In your lap and lets ner toe-nails
go through your pants. 1 got up
and went to pa’s room, and ma was
netting up in bed with her nightcap
off, her hair standing right up
straight, and she was trying to gat
pa to raise up and listen, but it
wasn’t pa’s night to listen, and he
put his head under the bed clothes
nad tried to snore,but I knew pa was
soared. I told pa that I wasn’t afraid
hut wished he would let me sleep on
lie lounge in his room,and pa raised
ip and wanted to know what the
jw was,and just then the cats in the
iano seemed to have come together
*>r their regular evening fight, and
*f all the music you ever heard,that
-*t everything. Pa listened and
aid it was somebody rex- door
,'iug to play opera, but ma Said
•mething was in the house, and
•Id pa the house wa haunted, and
•r him to get up and iuv *i gtm
Pa was kind of’shamed to be nfraid
so he and all was sriil, and
he got his pants on and went out in
the hall, and just then the cats gov
to flighting another round, and pa
rushed into the bath-room and
closed the door, and yelled for me
to open the window and holler for
the police. I got up and ask pa,
through the door, if he was afraid,
and he said no, he wasn’t afraid, but
he thought, seeing he was in the
bath-room he would take a bath,and
I told him if he was afraid I would
go down and investigate, because
there there was no haunted house
that had any tenor for Hennery, and
and I went down and let the cats
out, and they got on the back fence
and had a real sociable time, and
after it was all still pa came out with
a towel in his hand and tried to make
us believe he had been taking a bath
at two o’clock in the morning with
cold water. I don’t think it is right
for a father to try to deceive his lit
tle boy that way. Pa must have
washed himself real hard, for he
* as pule as a ghost when he came
■it of the bath room, but he was
jcr-ill in the morning when he
md the piano full of cat hair He
...ka the air from the rigtsterldew
.u'ihe piano. But lam sorry fora
as he has had trouble enough trying
to keep from failing, but he had to
go to the wall.”
“What! you don’t teli me your
father has failed?” said the grocery
man, as he took down the ledger.
“Great heavens, he owes me seven
dollars,” and the man groaned.
“Yes, pa says that is the only way
be can make a dollar. I don’t know
anything about the business of fail
ing, but as near as I can get at it, by
hearing pa and his attorney talk
about it, there is money in it, if it is
worked right, and if I was in your
Dlacel would work an annual failure
department into my busiuess. The
way to fail is to get credit for ail
you can, and sell for cash, and when
you sell the beat things, have some
body that you owe, a relative, or a
fellow that you got confidence in. get
on his ear and get out an attachment
and close you up, or else make an
assignmentto a fellow who stands in
with you, and let him offer the
creditors ten cents on a dollar in
notes, payable in six, twelve, and
eighteen month. By the time six
months are up, you can buy the first
note for fifty cents on a dollar, and
you can fail again- before the other
notes comes due. Pa says there is
more money in it than in running a
bank, and he is awful anxious to have
the thing fixed up in time for him
and ma to go to Florida for the win
ter, so they can get back in time to
go to Saratoga next summer. I
asked pa if it was honest to fail
when ma had property enough in
her name to pay all debts and have
plenty left, and pa said he and ma
was two different persons. Gosh, I
thonght a man and his wife were
one. Well, a fellow learns some
thing every day, don’t he? Say,you
would boa .total failure on general
prenciples. and if I wefe in your
place 1 would have some style about
me aud bust. You con never amount
to anything going along the way you
do, aud never getting ahead any.
Let me tell pa’s lawyer that I can
get him a jon putting you through
bankruptcy, on shares.”
“No, sir, never,” said the grocery
man. “I have always paid a hun
dred cents on the dollar,and I always
will. It 'is true I cannot put on
much style, not as much S3 some I
know who have failed, but I can
look everybody in the facb and—but,
say, Hennery, you might tell your
pa’s lawyer to come in here this
afternoon, and I will have a talk
wiiii him. If failing is going to be
the style, and a man isn’t going to
amount to anything unless ho has
failed, and there is money in it, and
your pa says it is honest and all right
I might conclude to fail once for luck,
but keep it dark,” and the grocery
man began to look about the store at
the old back number washboards,and
wormy dried peaches, and things
tha; were not salable, and wondered
if it wouldn’t be a good idea to fail
and get rid of the old stock and
buy anew one on trust, while Hen
nery went out to break the news to
his pa’s lawyer that he got another
job for him.
DO TREES IN fit EASE RAINFALL.
That forests preserve moisture in
the soil, and water in the springs;
that mountains covered with timber
protect lowlands from destructive
freshet3, is true, and cannot be too
strongiy impressed on the public,
but it is not necessary to mix error
with truth, and try to make people
believe that by planting a few trees
they can change the climate of a
whole continent.
In Virginia the drouths for the
last ten years and more are disheart
ening to farmers, and they talk of
the good old times before the war,
when seed time and harvest never
failed, lamenting the dry seasons
that now prevail in the wtll wooded
mountains, as well as in the low
country. Yet, the whole country is
growing up to trees, the “old fields”
being quickly covered with pines.
On my-owu farm, a field that was in
corn eleven years ago is now an al
most impenetrable thicket. Surely
if trees affect rainfall the Virginians
may well say, “Down with the trees,
for they briitg drouth!”
We really know fiut very little
about the causes that bring about an
increase or diminution in the annual
rainfall. Two French philosophers,
Fautrat and Sartraux, found that
about one twelith more rain fell over
a piece of forest than on the adjoin
ing country. This fact went the
rounds of the papers as jfroof that the
foliage of trees attracted rain, until
it was pointed out that the experi
ments extended from February to
July—about half before the leaves
opened and half afterwards, and that
the trees receixed quite as much rain
when entirely bare as when covered
with foliage, and even one-sixth
more In March when there was no
foliage to invite rain or condense the
vapor.
A rew years ago, when spending
some time in Utah, I noticed that
Great Salt Lake was rising. Some
fences, once on dry land, were under
water, and the rise of water was said
to average one foot a year. The in
habitants said the annual amount of
rain was increasing. Some attribute
it to the orchards and shade tress
they had set out, forgetting that for
every tree planted a hundred or
more were cut down on ttie moun
tains.. Others thought it was doe to
pt wing and culuv ion; others were ;
sure that the iron itula of the Pacific 1
railway brought electricily and rain
from the East! A like increase of
rain prevailed, and perhaps still pre
vails, in Western Kansas and Ne
braska. Forgetting their destruct
ive drouths the papers asserted that
rain followed civilization, with its
clearing, plowing and harrowing.
This was certainly a pleasant view
of the subject to an incoming popu
lation, and for those who had lands
te sell.
‘BUSINESS FAILURES IN 1883.’
Bradstrect’s journal of the sth iust., con
tains a very thorough and interesting review
of the busiuess failures of 18S3, accompanied
by comparative figures of the four preceding
years. From this we learn that the total
number of failures iu the United States in
1879 was 6,632; in 1880, 4,350; iu 1881, 5,929;
iu 1882, 7,635; in 1883, 10,299. The assets of
the failing: firms were: in 1879, $48,906,000;
iu 1880, $27,430,000; iu 1881, $35,064,000; iu
1882, $47,669,000,000; in 1883, $90,804,000. The
liabilities were, in 1879, $99,636,000; in 1880,
$57,120,000; tn 1881, $75, 094,000; in 1882
$93,238,000; iu 1883, $75,958,500. The per
centage of assets to liabilities was in 1879,
49; in 1880, 48, iu 1881, 47; iu 1882, 51- in 1883
53.
“The total number of business failures iu
the United States in 1883 shows a large in
crease not only over 1882 but as compared
with those of any preceding year with the
exceptioumf 1878. The exhibit is lees start
ling, however, when more closely examined.
The number of legitimate trading concerns
recorded in the Bradstreet Agency at present
aggregates 838,823, as compaired with but
548,180 in 1878,a gain of 290;646 in ten years.
In 1878, five years ago, at the eud of five,
depressions in general trade, there had been
shown but a moderate gain in the number #f
business ente-prises, while to-day the total
number of traders having a distinctive place
in the commercial and industrial community
is 50 per cent, greater than ten years ago.
Fully 60 per cent, of this development iu
trade has taken place since 1878. The expan
sion iu business extending over 1880 and
1881 was very graat and competition keen,
resulting in a contiuuo us increase in the total
number of failures from year to year. Tha
enforced contraction in production during
the past two years, shrinkage in prices, abuses
the credit system and competition for the
survival of those firms which could work at
the least expenee aud otherwise to the best
advautage, have all tended to crowd the
weaker trader or manufacturer to the wall.
Thus, with from 180,000 to 200,000 new com
petitors withiu five years, the arrival of a
period of enforced contraction of production,
distribution and prices with a commercial
obituary list of some 300 less than in 1878
caunot be regarded as indicative of a radical
unsoundness in the present busiuess situa
tion.”
Taking the couuty by sections, Bradstreet’s
reports that “In New England the record of
commercial disaster during the ycjr was 1 in
every 61 engaged in business; iu the middle
states, lin every 104; in the southern states,
1 in every 69; in the western states, 1 in every
99; iu the Pacific states, 1 iu every 30, and in
the territories, lin every 15. For the country
at large the average is 1 failure for every 56
in business. The average throughout the
United States is 1 failure for every 82 tra
ders.
“An examination of the detailed lists of
failures occurring throughout the United
States in 1883 reveals the fact that at least 76
per cent, ot the whole number were those in
whieh the liabilities iu each instance amount
ed to less than SIO,OOO. But 13 per cent, ol
the whole number had liabilities ranging
from flt>,ooo to $25,000, and about 5 per eent.
individually indebted from $25,000 to $50,-
000 each. This decreasing proportion de
clines very rapidly as this analyst, is eoutin
ued. The proportion of failures iti which the
liabilities iu etch instance amounted to frora
$50,000 t<> SIOO,OOO was 2 2-3 per cent, of the
whole, and of those where liabilities were
from SIOO,OOO to $500,000 each the propor
tion was about 1)4 per cent. only. The cal
culation indicates that over 7,500 of the 10,-
299 failui reported in 1883 were those in
which the debt in each iustance did not ex
ceed SIO,OOO that over 1,300 failing traders’
liabilities were between SIO,OOO and $25,000;
that in the instance of over 500 the debts
were from $25,000 to $50,000; that 300 of the
failures had debts from $50,000 to SIOO,OOO
each, and that the liabilities of less than 160
were fjom SIOO,OOO to $500,000 each. Tbe
startling nature of the mere record of over
10,000 business failures in 1883 is robbed of
considerable of its force by the discovory that
nearly 90 per cent, of them were of firms and
business houses whieh owed each less than
$25,000, and that the liabilities of six-sevenths
of the total so specified owed each less than
$10,000.”

Early one morning, Bulwer, the
novelift, returned his hotel, from a
.gambling house, where he had been
passing the last hours of the night.
Fur the first time in his life he had
played high; and, with the insidious
good fartune so frequently attendant
on the first steps along,what wou’d
otherwise be the shortest and least
attractive pathway to perdition, he
had gained largely. The day was
dawning when he reached his own
rooms. His writing desk stood upon
a console in froat of a mirror and
pausing over it to lock up his win
nings, he was startled and shocked
by the reflection of his face in the
glass behind it. The expression of
the countenance was not only hag
gard, it was sinister. He had risked
far more than he coi*Jd afford to lose,
his luck had been extraordinary, and
his gains were great. Bat the igno
ble emotions of the night had left
their lingering traces in his face; and
as he caught sight of his own faetures
still working and gleaning with the
fever of a vicious excitement, he, for
the first time, despised himself. It
was then he formed a resolution that,
be the circumstances of his future
life what they might, no inducement,
whether of need or greed, should
again tempt him to become a gamb
