NO HONOUR AT HOME.

Richard John Cartwright does not ex- cite much enthusiasm in his own county. Far and wide, by despatch, advertisement and hand bill, he was announced to de- liver three speeches at three different places in Lennox. We have accounts of

his Tuesday evening's meeting at Odessa, A MAGNIFICENT ASSORTMENT The Napanee Express says of his appear. ance there: ‘* Tne weather was most favor. able, and as it was the first occasion since the last election upon which he has ads dressed his constituents, it might have been reasonably supposed that he would 9 | have a crowded house, and tnat much en- thusiasm would have prevailed, but it was notso. By actual count thera were only 200 persons seated, and a few standing up at the door might increase the auditory to 225. There was no animation about the meeting, and the applause, led by a couple of estimable gentlemen from Napanee, was feeble and frequent.’’ The same paper says towards the close of its report of the ae meeting, that it was ‘‘apparently quite “MARY LOUISE,” disappointed and downcast at the resuit of ; the Finance Minister's appearance and ad- 133 tons, chiefly built of Oak, and is wei} !dress” But Mr. Cartwright will no doubt found, is now due at Charlottetown, | console himself with the reflection that a and caa be purchased at a very ‘prophet hath no honour in his own coun- REASONABLE FIGURE. try .— Toronto Mail.

SHORT SETTLEMENTS,

“The importance of looking sharply after one’s accounts and collecting them as they fall due cannot be over estimated. The success of the retail merchant especially, depends largely upon this,

The New kngland Grocer Says : We venture the assertion that more tinancial troubles begin among merchants as a class from permitting themselves to be deceived about their condition, by count. ing all outstanding accounts as available assets, and depending on them as sources through which they will be able to meet liabilities, than from all other causes We also believe that the greater propor- tion of losses in trade come from bad ac. counts, and that the tax on retail dealers occasioned by these losses, exceeds a}! the legitimate taxes— government, state and municipal—each year, and would go a long way toward paying the legitimate expens ses of business. Every time a merchant opens an account he takes a certain risk greater or less, of course, just in proportion to the character and financial ability of the party who received the favor. The trader who is the best collector is the most likely to succed, Buyers very soon take the measure of the merchant, and if the latter is known to be lenient, to lack the moral courage to re- fuse credit, after the account already made out is not paid when due, and fails to ins sist on regular and prompt settlements, consumers are encouraged to buy beyond their ability to pay, and the merchant will soon have on his books, evidences of indebtedness which to a certain extent are for any and all purposes worthless, We contend that the merchant who has the reputation of collecting his accounts wien they are due can take greater risks than those who pursue the opposite course for his reputation naturally makes his cuss tomers cautious in their purchases, and mikes them anxious about the day of pays ment. It is a homely saying that “ short settlements make long friends.” but it has force and experience which prove it to be true. Honorable success is the highs est aim of business life, and any course which eventually secures it is right and the proper one to follow.

WINTERING GERANIUMS.

We have frequently heard the directions given for wintering small numbers of geray niums by taking them up, trimming the tops, denuding the roots, and then hanging them by the roots ina cellar till spring, This treatment has occassionally been suc. cessful, but probably not one cellar in a hundred possesses the proper temperature and degree of moisture. In most the whole plants and roets would dry up and die before the approach of warm weather. Changes of temperature alone would be sure to spoil them. To succeed, the air should be quite damp, with a uni« form and rather low temparature. A much better way, adapted to any cellar, moist or dry, which dves got freeze, is to plant the geraniums in sawdust in boxes, .keep the sawdust slight'y moist, and then place them as near a window as practic. able, where they can receive light. We tried the experiment last winter, in a quite dry cellar, placing the boxes against an unusually large window for such an apartment. The roots were fitst slightly pruned, the tops well cut back, and the whole as closely packed in boxes about a foot and half square and eight inches deep as they could be conveniently crowded to» gether. All the interstices were then fi le ed with saw-dust, shaken in by added por tions. They were watered only two or three times during winter, this being all that was required to keep the sawdust moist. the entire amount of care did not amount to five minutes in time, from the period when they placed in the boxes un. til transferred to one end of a hot-bed in early April, Every one lived without ex~ ception, and mos€ are doing well. They would undoubtedly be in a more vigorous condition had more care been given and a proper state of moisture and temperature been maintained, more nearly approaching that received by greenhouse plants. Fine moss might have been better than saw. dust. The object of this treatment is to imitate the condition of the plants while dormant in a cool greenhouse.—Country Gentleman.

Clean bands in matters of money among the young certainly ought to be the india.« pensable condition of gentlemanliness. No man who borrows and does mot pay,

and does not care whether he pays or not, is a gentleman, no matter how witty, or gay, or fine be may be, To speak in good plain English, the man who dresses himself at another's expense, not knowing how to pay, vor caring Whether he pays, is a genteel scoundrel !
