The Fine, Big White Ocean
Steamer, The City of Miami
one of the two steamers making two-day trips
to Cuba, sailing from Miami to Nassau in the
Jjaluunas and thence to Havana, could not get in
for hours the other day, owing to low water in
(he channel and the Bay of Biscayne.
Ho it is that a little farm, well tilled, and a
little home, well fitted, hac their advantages.
The little shops of Philadelphia on Second Street,
South Street, Arch Street, Spring Garden Street,
Girard and Columbia Avenues and old Ridge
Road, are well worthy of patronage, most of them
being excellently well and worthily conducted.
Sonic of our most able merchants and their sons
are in the smallest stores growing into larger
stores.
All the large stores of today, in their
beginnings, were very little things and some of us
lune not yet grown up to our full expectations.
That big ocean steamer, too big for its
business, lying outside of its destination, idle and
useless, because it was loo big and "drew too
much water" to get in at low tide or in a heavy
blow,
Taught a lesson, as many things do
going on about us daily
that one can be too big for his business or
prolcssion if he does not be watchful of himself.
