on a bogus plan. The farmers alonu

cost 'em a cout. All went lovely till
tho niortaes foil due. Then the
ooinpanios busted ; tho stock wa'u't
worth a ruw t au the farmers had
to cloar off their ' mortufacres thotn-
selves, or git kicked out o' house
an' home. '1' wa'n't moru'n hum.m

Wal, as the fall passed, the oven-

she used to stand in tho opnn door

when it stormed, at tho winder.

The rido from Edinburg to Lon
don, a distanco of four hundred
miles, i tutuilly mule in ten hours
by the fittest trains, nn 1 lor the
most part is through a country which
would delight our best farmers. Tho
careful cultivation and abundant
crops remind us of tue land near
our cities and nro indicative of a
country alone nnder subjection to
man. Oats and wheat with nn oc
casional field of barley aro tho usual
grains. Boot crops aro largely iu
exoess of what wo raiso in America,
and sheep sahiii to us unusually nu
merous aud fine. As we near Lon
don tho country Ijoco'uo-i an almost
continuous village filled with manu
factories, and from ten to thirty tall
chiranies can generally bo seen at
once. At the time of my former visit,
live years ago, thesa wore all in full
operation, but at present, at least
nail ot them are uot ruuning, lor
hard times are felt in England as
well as in Amorica. Through theso
villages aro tbo thickly sottled sub
orbs we glide almost imperceptible
into tbe Midland Depot, tbe largest
and most expensive railroad dopot
iu too world, witb the uotol built as
a part of it, oost $10,000,000. '
London is a world iu herself. A oity
of 4.000,000 inhabitants,- sitnatod in
a broad plane, upoo both sidos of a
noble riven she has natural advanta
gea which few . plaoes possess.. So
vast is she that one miiht walk her
streets constantly for a month with
out retracing bis steps. bvorythiDg
made anywhere in tho world can be
found in London, wbile people from
all oouutrios and nations aro living
wituin nor limits, and there is noth
ing which art or soience oan pro
duce wbiob is not .represented here.
Tbe very greatness of . the oity and
tbe multitude of things of mterest to
be seeo, fairly bewilder the traveler,
so that at best it oau bo but a choice
of a few places to be visited, and a
lingering regret that so much mast
bo left unseen.
After a ride through some of the
more celebrated streets to gain a
general idea of tbo city,, wo com
menco our examination of things of
particular interest witb a large, din
gy looking stone bnildiog, bluokened
witb oeutiiries of London smoke,
which, atando in one of tbe most
busy parte of the oity, itself filling
an entire square. As we approach
St Teal's Cathedral and enter it, we
are impressed particularly wiv "ts

it is uot so largo us tho British, is
yet a fiuo ono, and is scientifically
arranged- t has lately bocotno dis
tinguished for tho Art School con-

most at my last visit was Dr. Shite

ties, which has boon on exhibition
hero siuoo last Christmas. Tho me
morial erected topriuco Albert by
Queen Victoria is very fine and in

a whole the monument has a go n or

We ride back toward the cantor of
tho city for more than a mile along
llydo Park, ono of the many breath
ing plaoes which London is fortuuato
in possessing, by Buckingham Pal
ace gardens and tho Palace itself, a
largo but by no means striking
buildiugs, the city residence of the
Queou of England, down tho Mall
besides tho beautiful St Jaraos Park
to Charing Cross, the centre of west
oud, the fashionable part of London.
Noar bore are many of tho finest
residences io tho city, and most of
the aristooratio club houses.
At Charing Cross, in Trufolga
Square, is a magnificent nionutnout
to Lord Nelson, and along one sido
of the Square is the National Art
Gallery. Prom Charing Cross the
street is called tbo Strand aud is
oue of tbo most prominent thorough
fares in tho great city. At Temple
Bar, which was formerly a conspicu
ous land mark, and oould bo seen
at a long distanoo from each Hide,
tho name again changes to rleet
street . The Bar was a ru lo aroh

Vet too years uuo, when I flrnt saw
hiui, he was clot k la a storo on this
samo Btroot, and in tho rotiil gro
cery trado. I have been at Bomo
pains to got a kuowlede of his
early start for himself, aud, in a
largo icoasuro, it answers tho ob
jections raised by tho clerks who
think uo paths point upward from a
retail store. Iloro is tho story t
"At twouty ouo yoars of ago Mr.
B fouud himself a clerk iu a
retail grocory, with a salary of $i) 0
a year. Ho was satisfied with what
ho had dono hitherto, but was dutor
miuod to bo somethiup; more than a
clerk. Ho had been conteut to sell
the goods on tho shelves without
asking much ubout them i tho cost
mark was as far as iutiuiiioi wont.
Ho had been careless aud easy about
bis expeusos, simply tukwtf care not
to run in debt, Iu selling goods
his atnbitiou had been to pleaso his
employers, aud had not reached bo
oud that point. He took a square
turn in ulturs. rirst, be would
commence to lay np money i second
tie would loam all about croooiies,
and lastly, he would umko a special
effort to please every customer who
oamo to nim.
"Do you know what it is to. make
a sudden halt on the road whore
you have been spendiug money
freely, my young friends, who read

turn to tune, v men will ten you mat
all you must do is to stop, but that
inst half tbo story. The yoaug
man who has no assooiates and
friends ie not a healthy youog man:
And if he has been i'' tving a pleas
ant time with his 'vompanious for
two or three yeare, it requires some
courage to take a differeot track.
But young B went along tbe
road marked ont for himself, ' and
though there were plaeed in it that
