A r lttlo Hoy's Troubles.
I thought when I learned my letters ,
That all my troubles were done ;
But 1 find myself mistaken
They have only just begun.
Learning to read was awful ,
But nothing like learning to write ,
I'd be sorry to have you tell it ,
But my copy-book is a sight.
I
The ink gets over my fingers.
The pen cuta all sorts of shines ;
And won't do at all as I bid it ,
The letters won't stay on the lines ,
Hut go up and down and all over ,
As though they were dasicing a jig
They arc there in all shapes : .nd Etzes ,
Medium , little and big.
There'd be some comfort in learning
If one could get through ; instead
Of that , there are books awaiting
Quite enough to craze my head ,
There's the multiplication table ,
And grammar , and oh , dear me !
There's no good place for stopping ,
When one has begun , I see.
My teacher says , little by little
To the mountain top we climb ,
It isn't done iu a minute. <
But only a step at a time ; * ' '
She says that all the scholars.
And all the wise and learned men ,
Had each to begin as I do ;
If that's so where's my psn ! ' .f

When Davy Ledyard had been living
/n / the country a year , his papa took
him to the county fair and iie saw
more pumpkins and cabbages and
beets , and apples , and grapes and
pears , than he had seen in all his life
before !
But his little sister Lucy couldn't
go , so when he went home , he told
her that he would make a little fair ,
all for her and she might help him.
There was a big packing box in the
yard , turned on its side , that they had
often played "house" in , and this they
took for the fair building , and Davy
got some starch boxes and soap coxes
and fixed little stands all around the
edge inside.
Then he took Lucy and started out
to find things that would look like
fruits and vegetables.
It was a bleak day. The wind was
raw and cold , and the white frost still
lay on the grass and stones. But they
buttoned their coats , and pulled down
their caps , and walked fast , and little
Lruey said she was not cold at all , ami
Davy said they would find plenty or
I j fine "specimens" for the fair ; and so
they did , for ail things are possible
to such children as Davy and Lucy.
They picked a lot of wild rose ber
ries first , ami spread them on one o
the stands for apples. Then Davy
picked two gourds , from a vine that
grew on a wall , for squashes.
But two squashes and some apples
are not enough for a whole fair ! So
they walked around again to find
something more.
Suddenly Davy said , "Why , Lucy !
the top part of the small acorns will
look exactly like potatoes ! " So they
picked up a lot of acorns , and took the
tops out and piled them up for pota
toes. While they were doing this Davy
thought of something else ; and that
was elder-berries , for plums. On the
way to get them they passed some
scrub oaks with big round oak-galls
growing on them.
" 0 ! look , " said Davy ; "I'll paint
these yellow with my paints , and
they'll make splendid pumpkins ! "
"And we can cut ever so many little
play-carrots out of one big carrot , if
papa will let us have it , " said Lucy.
"And I'll tie pieces of cabbage-lear
around little balls of clay , to look like
cabbages , " said Davy.
So now they had thought of some
thing to look like squashes and apples
and potatoes and plums , and pumpkins
and carrrots and cabbages ; and when
these were all arranged together on the
little stands , it began to look quite like
a fair.
"I've thought of something else ! "
said Davy after they had made the lit
tle carrots and finished fixing the cab
bages. "We need grapes most of all ,
for there were so many grapes at the
fair ; and the little bunches of green
berries on the ivy will be just right
-for grapes the green ones will do for
sreen grapes , and I'll paiut a few
hunches purple for purple grapes. "
i While Davy was painting the grapes
he told Lucy to pick a lot cf the pretty
yellow grass with little seeds on it , and
he tied it into bunches to look like
t
grain.
When Davy had set the grain bun
dles up in the corners , the fair was all
finished , and the children went into
the house and asked their mamma to
come and look at it.
You can't guess how pretty it was ,
and their mamma said she would rath
er sec it than the real fair ! Little

It was by a devious path , some
tteps of which were painful , that Verdi
became a musician. When he was
sevey years old his mild and some
what melancholy temperament at
tracted tb ° attention of the parish
priest , and he received the appoint
ment of acolyte at the village church
of Le Roncole. One day a priest was
celebrating mass with Verdi as his as-
Distant , when the boy became so carried
by the music that his duties
ried av/ay
wcro entirely forgotten. "Water ! "
whispered the priest , but Verdi did
not respond. Then , thinking his re
quest had not been heard , the cele
brant repealed , "Water ! "
Still there was no reply , and , turn
ing round , the priest found the server
gazing in wonder and delight at the or
gan.
"Wjiler ! " demanded tbe priest for
the third time , accompanying the order
with such a wpll-dircctnd movement of
the foot that the little Verdi was pitch
ed headlong down the altar steps. In
falling he struck his head and was car
ried to the vestry quite tmconscioiio.
Perhaps it was this incident , together
with the child's unbounded delight in
the organ music he heard in the street ,
that induced his father , who was an inn
keeper , to add a spinet , or pianoforte ,
to his worldly r-o.-'s-'essions.
But it was several years after this
that his vocation was temporarily de
cided for him , though fate afterward
stepped in and undid ths decision.
"Why do you want to be a musi
cian ? " asked his confessor. "You have
a gift for Latin , and must be a priest. "
Meanwhile , the lad became an office
boy in Barrzsi's wholesale , grocery
store , and for a little over seven dollars
lars a year played the organ in the
church at Roncole ; but one day it hap
pened that Father Seletti. who had de
cided that the boyshould be a monk
wrs otaciating at ma = s while , Verdi
played the organ. The priest was
struck 7ith the unusual beauty of the
music , and at the close of the service
expressed a dcslie to see the organist.
Verdi appeared , and the priest recognized -
nized him"as the pupil whom he had
nought to turn from nui ic to. theolo-
r.
"Whore music were you playing ? "
asked Seletti. "It was beautiful. "
Verdi ? aiu. shyly , that he had
brought no music with him that day.
and had been improvising.
"So I played as I felt , " said he.
"Ah ! " exclaimed Seletti. "I advised
you wrongly. You mustbe , no priest ,
but a musician. "
After that the way was easier. The
priestly influence on his side opened
many a dcor to him.
Gl < lstoio' > < Aiiilnj Memory.
Mr. Gladstone's amazing memory is
illustrated by an anecdote given by
G. W. Smalley in Harper's Magazine
for August. It described what occur
red during a cabinet meeting. There
arose a question of constitutional us
age , on which Mr. Gladstone took one
side and the minister whose depart
ment was concerned another.
The argument perhaps leaned to Mr.
Gladstone's side : but argument is seldom - |
dom in England a final cause of polit
ical action , and when this colleague ,
who was contending against his mas
ter , as he had good right to , found him
self hard pressed , he said :
"There is no precedent. "
"Yes , " replied Mr. Gladstone , "there
is a precedent. The point was raised
and settled in Sir Robert Peel's tim ° .
and while I was president of the board
of trade in his cabinet. " j
Then turning to his private secretary.
Mr. Gladstone said. "If you will plea.se
go to the second desk in the small li
brary , the third drawer on the right
hand , in the last compartment at the j
back of the drawer you will find n
bundle of papers tied with black rib
bon , dated 1S43 , and labeled R. P.
Bring me that. "
It was brouglir. Mr. GteJsionc chose
out of this parc.-l of documents , which
had slept for forty years , the memor
andum he had in mind , opened , and
read it out to his cabinet. It was a
minute by Sir RoLert Peel on the ques
tion raided : i qialon relating to }
trade , a full statement of facts , a ile-
cisive opir.ten on them , and j > complete j
answer to the objections now raised by
Mr. Gladstone's coilcapu .
"Now I ask you , " sari the minister
who told the story , "how are you going !
to stand up against a man with such a i
memory as that ? "

A newsboy took the Sixth avenue
elevated at Park Place at noon , says
the New York World , and sliding into
one of the cross seats , fell asleep. At
Grand street two young women got on
and took the seats opposite the lad.
His feet were bare and his hat had fall
en off. Presently the younger girl
leaned over and placed her muff un.ler
the little fellow's dirty cheek. An
old gentleman in the next seat smiled
at the act , and without saying any
thing held out a quarter with a nod
towanl the boy. The girl hesitated a
moment and then reached for it. TTie
next man just as silently offered a
dime , a woman across the isle held
out some pennies , and before she knew
it the girl with flaming cheeks had
taken money from every passenger in
that end of the car. She quietly slid
the amount into the sleeping lad's
pocket , removed her muff gently from
under his head without rousing him.
and got off at Twenty-third street , in
cluding all the passengers in a pretty
little inclination of the head that
seemed full of thanks and the posses
sion of a common secret.

A financial writer on one of the lead
ing New York dailies , reviewing the
conditions existing iu the money marI -
I ket for the week ended October 22 ,
draws attention to the fact that America -
. ica is nbw a commanding force in the
world's money markets. Pi oof of this
, is cited in the fact that while complex
diplomatic questions were agitating
Europe's commercial and financial cen
ters , while war clouds hung heavily
ever ail the old world markets , while
rnterprise was checked and the values
< -f even the strongest of foreign securi
ties gave way under the strain , ih-j

"America holds the balance of power
among tbe world's money markets , and
there is a conflict between the older na
tions as to which shall pay to us the

j i ( due to the change of economic policy

scarcely admits of argument or dis
pute. Allowing for the effect cf a
strong foreign demand for our surplus
food stuff's at exceptionally high prices ,
the fact remains that our unparalleled
merchandise balance of over § 615,000-
000 for the fiscal year ended June SO ,
3S5S. and our continuing heavy excess
of exports over imports for the first
three-quarters of the current calendar
year , are dhcctly traceable to the do-
Tease cf our foreign purchases and the
corresponding increase i-i the con-
and dividends due abroao , for xituler-
vulution of imports , for freight money
expenditures oi Americans abroad , and.
all other items properly belonging to
the balance between this and other na
tions , there must still remain an enor
mous sum , greater than the entire bal
ance of trade in any year except the
last , actually due to this country by
the financiers of other countries on de
mand , or else paid by the transfer of
American securities to the ownership
of this people.
It has been stated so widely , and
with such persistence , that the present
tariff was higher and more oppressive
than the JlcKinloy tariff that many
people have not mustered patience to
ascertain from the official records
whether the statement was true or not.
Yet examination proves that , like most
other assertions made in denunciation
of this tariff , this statement also is en
tirely untrue. The aggregate of duti
able imports during the fourteen
months covered by the operation of
this tariff has been $2SS.GG4G08 , and in
these same months the receipts of the
government from customs duties have
been $181,290,910. Thus the rate o
duty collected upon the dutiable im
ports for the fourteen monlhs has been
4G.G3 per cent. Under the JlcKinley
tariff in the three full years of its op-
j cration the rate of customs receipts to
! dutiable imports was - .71 per cent in
j ' the fiscal year 1S02. 40.58 per cent in
the fiscal year 1S03 and SO.OG per cent
! in the fiscal year 1SD4. In the fiscal
year 1S91 that tariff was in operation a
little less than nine months , so that
the rate of duties paid to dutiable im
ports was somewhat lower. In spite ot
all assertions to the contrary , whicn
have been constantly made since the
prepont tariff was enacted , it appears
! that thus far its rate of duties uion du-
tiablp imports ha ? been lower than in
any of the three- full years covered by
the McKinley tariff.

When this month ue au the new tar

statement of foreign commerce Cor the
month of September has .iusi. beer
made , and during the fourteen uicuthd
the imports under the present tariH.
have been in value $711,2SK.S71 , while
the value of exports has been $1,407-
070,393. Thus there results an rxce-53
of exports over imports amounting to
§ GOGeS3,521 during the fourteen
months. Under three full years of uie
Wilson taritf the excess of exports
over imports was only § 1)4.S.'J0.707. ! ) In
consequence the imports of gold during
the fourteen months have exceeded the
exports by $137.7C5J4 : < j , which is mpre
than in any like period in the entire
history of the country. No one can
calculate how great a change has been
effected in the stability of the curren
cy , the credit of the government , the
confidence of the business world , the
activity of trade and tbe development
of industry by this influx of gold alone ,
and yet it has covered less than a fifth
of the difference in value between mer
chandise imports and exports. After

also deducting any allowance that can

The American-Canadian commission
was failed for the settlement of ques
tions in depute between the two gov-
orninr-nts , of which there are a number
of greater or ie s importance. The
question of reducing the American tar
iff on lumber cannot properly come un
der this head , although it has been
brought before the commission.
The American commissioners will
hardly venture ( o suggest any reduc
tion of this tariff , which would provo
disastrous to one of the largest indus
tries in the United States. Under the
present tariff our lumoermen are pros
pering , from Washington to Maine ,
and millions of employes share in the
prosperity.
Canada has nothing to offer which
would compensate for the reduction.
The offer to lower the Canadian duty
on cotton goods would not prove much
of an object. English pioducts. includ-
ir.s cottor.e , already have a discrimina
tion of twenty-five per cent in their
favor , which was given as a retaliation
against our tariff.
Let the commission stick to the
questions of boundaries , fisheries ,
bonding privileges and the like , and
loavp our tariff duties alone. Taconia

ample protection from foreign compe

even to the Democrats who made a
