Wo regret that E liter Water son
of Louisville Courier-Journal is
fl mgerously ill. It will be a difficult
mutter to dll his place.
“It has been frequently asserted,”
says the New York Herald, “that
not one of the 60,000 Hebrews in this
city is the keeperof 4 liquor saloon.”
The deepest well in the world is
located at Homewood, Pa. It is
owned by George Westinghouse, Jr.
Everything found of the nature of
gas or water at a depth of 2,000 feet
was cased off as unimportant, and
the drill at present is said to he a lit¬
tle over 6,(MH) feet below tin* surface.
“fluid Times."
In treating this most interesting
subject, I will take the farmer as the
leading topic of discourse, because
when they fqil all other business
jqen become Insolvent.
Why is it that the cry of “hard
times” is so often heard? Is it be¬
cause the soil is constantly growing
poorer, or is it because nature is
t«rdy in responding to our labors?
1 answer no; she responds bountiful¬
ly according to the amount of labor
put forth. The farmer receives bet¬
ter pay, for the amount of work he
does than any other class of men.
Take it the whole year around,some
of the farmers will not labor,upon an
.pverage, of live days per week.
pfouie of them spend about half of
their time in going to town. What
would tlie farmer think of a mer¬
chant, if lie were to take his gun,
go into tlie country and spend two
days in the week hunting and fish.
lug?
The merchant does about twice
p.s much work as the farmer. After
tlie farmer lias retired, and is snugly
snoozing in his feather bed, the mer¬
chant is seen posting up his books,
balancing the loss and gain, arrang¬
ing his store, seeing what is best 10
be done with this or that, gnd ear¬
ly jnthe morning before old sol is |
seen above tlie eastern horizon, he !
is found in his store,sweeping, dust¬
ing, gild preparing for another day’s
business. ^
I think I would be justifiable in
saying, that some farmers waste
about one half of their tijn ; hence
I conclude that farmers are most
bountifully paid, according to the
amount of labor put forth.
Another principal cause is this
credit system, and the |ucR of
promptness to pay our debts when
due tliusjcausingthe creditor to con¬
sume precious time in trying to
collect, which time could otherwise
he devoted tp the interest of his bus¬
iness.
The teacher, tlie doctor after they
have worked for their money, spend
a great deal of their time in trying
to collect, when if all would pay up
promptly, they could devote their
tiqie to something profitable to
them and consequently beneficial to
tb< ir country.
Mefchants, Bank- e c., Lire men,
pay them a big salary, to Ravel tlie
country and collect for them. Time
ami money are spent at law in try¬
ing to keep from paying just debts.
N\ ho pays for alj this ? The debtor,
of course. Farmers, you don’t stop
to count, that is you don’t seem to
appreciate the value of an hour.
Borne farmers if they lose a day,they
count it nothing lost, because, as
they say, “the hoys will keep the
plows running.” Now, if you do not
place any value upon your own
time, then I am sure, the time of
Is wortli
How much time is lost by
people not being prompt in paying
debts! To illustrate. A who owes B,
■$?.;>.00, says to him, meet me in Lila-
ville next Saturday, and i will pay
you. B, Who owes 1), promises tlie
s^me to him. Likewise I) to C, < to
G, G to J, and J to S. On the ap¬
pointed day all go up to Ellavilleex¬
pecting to be paid. A, who is some¬
what indolent, fails to pay B. B
expected to pay D with the
owed him, and no on with them
Seven men are disappointed, and
the whole day js lost, just from tlie
tardiness of one man. Such is con-
st intly occurring. What a saving
there would be if ail would act
promptly Would I Suppose the whole world
act more promptly in the dis¬
charge of such duties, then instead
(if the cry *,hard times,” every store
house find barn would he filled with
the horn of plenty. Let us be more
prompt. Let us have a higher regard
(or our >vord. When we promise a
man to ddanything, let us not “jogg”
along in stupe aid way, but let us
put forth our utmost effort to meet
pur promise. Another thing peoi
pie pay too much for common daily
labor. The laborers of the south,
receive better pay for the amount of
work they do, than any other labor-
^ng class on the face of the earth.
