Almost every man sets out with a. 6.6" termination when a certain sum has been accumulated. to retire from the cares of business, and enjoy the balance of his days in retirement on some sunny farm or rural retreat, his vision has planned. This is wrong. You should commence the business of life with the determina- tion to work as long as you live, and you can do this if you obey the laws of health as related to your physical and spiritual nettire. Your business, it fitted to your capabilities, will in the doing and right management of it, be to you a great pleasure, an intense happiness, and there- fore should be continued as long as you live in this world. Commencing business with this end in View will prevent you from falling into the feverish, exciting, unhappy and short-lived results, that be- long to the men who wish to rapidly ac- cumulate a fortune and retire to enjoy it. These men are not happy while counting their profits, and certainly can- not be happy when they retire to enjoy them ; for it IS an established law of na- ture that can in no wise be slighted, that labor is a necessity to perfect growth and true unalloyed happiness. A Wise man will never rust out as long as he breathes the breath of life ; he will be doing something for himself, his country or posterity. Howard, Franklin, New- ton and scores of other famous men, all were at work almost to the last hour of their existence. It is a foolish thing to think that we must lie down and; die simply because we are old. The man of hope and energy is not old, it is only he who suffers his energy to become motion- less, on whose hands the hours hang heavily. ' “ ’1‘ HE HERALD,” PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY, Notes and.

A printed cirCular from Mr. John Hallam, as Chairman Select Committee of City Council, on Exemptions, dated City Hall, Toronto, 2nd August, 1876. and addressed to the Reeve and Council of the Village of Richmond Hill. The Council adjourned, to meet in the Court Room, on Wednesday, the 6th Sept., at 8 o’clock p. m. Pursuant to adjournment, the Council met. The Reeve in the chair: Coun- cillors present: Messrs. Crosby, Pogue, Powell and Savage. Moved by Mr. Powell, seconded by Mr. Pogue, that the Treasurer is hereby authorized to pay John Woods the sum of six dollars in full, for work done on Richmond and Trench Streetsâ€"Carried. AUG. 9.â€"Beantiful weather for haw vesting, although some days extremely hot, the thermometer at noon ranging from 90° to 95°. Fall wheat and barley mostly housed in excellent eon- dltion. The late crops are now ripening rapidly. and if the present fine weather continues, there may yet he a “big push.” Many summer fallows that re- quire immediate attention are in danger of being neglected. Diiferent persons entertain different opinions regarding the prospect of the spring wheat crop, although I think it will not be much under an average; one field on the farm of Mr. Vt’m. Hood, Sr., sown on the 2nd of May and reaped on the 2nd of August, is quite free of weevil and rust. The pea crop will be greatly deficient, the main cause of which is the want, of drainage 3, on land properly underdrained the crop is very heavy. Grangers would do well to pay particular attention to this subject, the neglect of which will be the cause of great loss to the country this year. Good harvest hands are still scarce, and like our Local Legislators, Value their services at a very high figure. No holiday or centennial for the farmer just yet. The minutes of last meeting read and approved. DEAR Sm,â€"Yonge Street side-tracks are now deep with dust and full of hard, brocken stones, making these tracks very ‘ disagreeable for drivmg, and hard upon both horses and wheels. The large quantities of these broken stones in the side-tracks, no doubt, drives much of the travel of Yonge Street, as they cause a buggy to clatter and bounce continu- ally and throw up much more dust that if the road were free from them. The motion is very much like driving over a corduroy, and the noise anything but‘ pleasant. Now, I would suggest to the Superintendent that it would pay well to have these good hard stones raked into the hollows in the middle of the road,% A man that would work would rake out: much more than a man would break of new stone, most of which are soft enough to grind up by the first heavy load pass ing over them. The employees 0? the Torouto and Nipissing Railway held their annual pic- nic at Markham Village, on the 5th inst. On Friday last, there came ofi' on'xthe fair ground, Markham Village, a spirited contest at base ball. between Markham and Stoufl'ville clubs, the latter getting badly beaten, the result being 36 to 16. Go home, boys. Don’t hang around the corners of the streets. If you have anything to do, do it promptly, light off, then go home. Home is the place for boys. About the street corners and the stables they learn to talk slang, and they learn to swear, to smoke tobacco, and do many other things which they ought not to do. Do your business and then go home. If y( 111‘ business is play, play and make a business of it. "I like to see boys play good, earnest, healthy games. I Would give the boys at good spacious play ground. 1 should have plenty of green grass, and. Il'L‘US, and fountains, and a, broad place to run and jump, and to play suitable games. I would make it as pleasant and as lovely as it could be and give it to the boys to play in, and when the play was ended I would tell ‘hom to go home. YONGE STREET SIDE-TRACKS. To the Editor of The Herald. RATEPAYER. Richmond Hill, Aug. 15, 1876. @nmmmmmfimw. j: (9152 51/0/24; VILLAGE COUNCIL. (From our own correspondent.) Crowded out last week. Yours truly, Millikan. M. TEEFY, Clerk. Aug. 9, 1876. The Ottawa Times makes the following Sensible comment on the stand taken by the Rev. Mr. Williams, ofSt. Thomas, in regard to reading notices of church meeting from the pulpit :â€"â€"Rev. John A. Williams, of St. Thomas, has declined “ to read noticas from the pulpit, which he says should not be used as an advertising medium. Adver- tising should be confined to the journals printed for that purpose. ” We quite agree with the sentiments expressed bythe reverend gen tleman. It is rather revolting to the feelings of the devoutly inclined to be re- minded aftcr a long and ferverent prayer ; that a picnic or a social, or even a. mission- my meeting will be held on such or such a day. Under such' circumstances heavenly thoughts are suddenly transferred to those afra thoroughly mundane character. As Mr. Williams justly says, such notices should be advertised in the regular journalsâ€"the latter are the proper advertising mediums, and the pulpit should not be converted into a newspaper office, where advertising is done gratis. Some of our local divines might do well if they took a leaf from Mr. Williams’ book. Judge Gowen, in a case of appeal against assessment for income. argued before him in Barrie on the 3lst ofJnly, decided that taxable income in any calling means not the gross receipts, but the excess of such receipts over legitimate expenditure in business transaction ; that parties having an income «$400. or upwards, may or may not be assessed therefor, at their own option; andthut, it'the income exceeds $400, taxes must be paid on the whole amount, and not merely on the excess over $400. Drs. Henry, York, and others, of this town, ‘ in their appeals to the Court of Revision against assessment for income, took this view of the matter; but the Council conâ€" tended that, wherther they wanted to or not, they were liable to be taxed for income such iu;ome exceeded their disbursements or not, and whether they wanted to be so assessed or not, and refused to grant their appeals. It now appears that the appellants were right, and the Council, as is usually the case, wrong. The Assessment Law, however, Is very ambigous, but the decision ofJndge Gowan removes any doubts res- pecting the assessment of' incomes derived from any calling or profession. ' My wife, says a correspondent, has a wonderful faculty of makingr the most of a few things in the mom, and l hare been analyzing her nianagenwiit to see what there is in it that makes everything about the room talie on so trash an ap» pearance occasionally. It is oe‘tainly not by bringing in new things, because the condition of the family 1-1>t‘,lit)tâ€"l)(.~ul; would not tolerate so rash a proceeding. She. acts upon the principle that “a fair exchange isno rolil‘lery.” Thearticles of furniture in position give character to a. room, and it is not often that the most costly articles make the most pleasing etfeet, showing that the position often has most largely to do with their inâ€" fluence. ls is from this belief that she makes occasionally those beautiful trans» formations by which our hoiim seems to take on new attractions and give new pleasures. Even the exchange of couch and stand upon (iiil'ei'ent sides of the room has a good efifeet 7, the truth is, we are all children in one sense and are do- lighted with. new things; even if they are intrinsically no better than the old ones. The removal of a Vase of flowers or plant from a bracket to'the stand for a day, is a pleasing change at times. we enjoy the alteration of lool-Ling at things in the distancevand then viewing them close at hand. Those who have not tried these experiments have lost an endless source of delight. I am aware that some of the lords of creation are strenuously opposed to transformations of this sort, and although they practice the same thing out of doors with evident satisfac» tion, they are “off the hooks” at once if the least change is made in the old arâ€" rangement in doors. The only thing I can say about these specimens is that their forms of crystallization are wrong, and they must be melted over again. The Women know how to do this best. ' “I l‘awe no time to read,” is a. com- mon complaint among farmers. It is true that for a large portion of the year there appears to be but little time for a continuous course of reading, but it’s a, great mistake to suppose that nothing can be rend. Quite as much teal good often comes of some idea. caught in an odd moment, and pondered over until thorougth digested, as that derived from more continued reading. It light< ens toil and quickens the brain to thus work out from some slight suo‘gestion a substantial clear defined conclusion. It is from the habit of reading and; think: ing mther than from the time consumed: that good is to come. Knowledge is in:an up of items, which, if taken alone seem insignificant, but when put to- gether form a. mine of Wealth. The odd moments we are inclined to squander, or devote to physical rest, if properly improved, would soon run into hours and days of inoulcnlable value. ‘ _': W. E.- Hunt, a farmer residing in the township of Westminster, was fined $10 the other day, on complaint of the Overseer of Highways, for allowing thistles to grow on his farm contary statue. Hunt paid penalty, and then had the overseer brought up for neglecting his duiy in not enforcing the law against others in his division, had him also fined. If this custom became general, the thistle would soon be extei'mmated' NEW ROOMS FROM OLD ONES. Dominion Items A sad afl‘air has just come to light at Holme-omSplading Moore, Yorkshire. A young man named John Wiles, about thirty years ofage, son of Mr. William Wiles, a small fmmar at Walter end, was missing from his home five weeks ago, and no tiding of him could be heard notwithstanding that: the ponds were dragged, and a search made in the neighborhood. On the l3thinst. his father was working in one of his fields when his horse refused to go by a certain place. On going to see the reason, the body of the missing man was found in a ditch covered by briars. A pistol was in his hand, and his brains were blown out. The body .was in an dreadful state decomposition, very little ot anything but bones being left. The head and arms fell of? on being moved. from the fact that his watch and money were in his pockets, itis suppo’s‘ed that the deceased committed self-distraction. Experience continually contradicts the notion that a poor young man cannot rise. If we look over the list of rich men, we find that nearly all of them began life with little or nothing. To any one fam- iliar with the millionaires of the United States, a score of examples will occur. On the other hand, the sons of rich men, who begin life with the capital which so many poor young men, co'vet, frequently die beggars. It would probably not be going too far to say that a large majority of such monied individuals, either fail outright or gradually eat up the capital, with which they commenced their career. And the reason is plain. Brought up in expensive habits, they spend entirely too much. Educated with high notions of personal importance, they will not suc- ceed, as they are pissed in the race of life by others with less capital originally, but mi re energy, thrift and industry. For these Virtues, after all. are worth more than money. They make money, in fact. Nay, after it is made, they en- able the possessor to keep it, which rich men pronounce to be more difficult than the making. The young man who be- gins life with the resolution always to lay by a portion of his income, is sure, even without extraordinary ability, gradually to acquire a. sufficiency, espec- ially as habits of economy, which the {resolution renders necessary, will make ’that a competency for him which would be quite insufficient for an extravagant erson. It is really what we save more han what we make, which leads us to fortune. He who enlarges his expenses as fast as his earnings increase, must ail-i ways be poor, no matter what his abilit ies. And content may be had on com faratively little. It is not in luxurien . iving that men find real happiness. a: ‘ THREE DEATHS BY BROWNING. On Monday evening Mr. Robert Dobie, aged about twentyâ€"five years. manager of the Kendal Clo-operative Shop, was drowned while bathing in Windermere. Two deaths by drowning occured at Milnthorpa about eight miles from Kendal. in an inlet of Morecambe Bay. A nurse with a little girl- daughter of the Rev. E. G. Wallace, Pres- byterian mmiater, Kendal, was wading on the sands. when both got into a hole from which they were unable to extricate them- selves, and when assisstance came it was too late to save lhem. The Queen of Greece arrived at Dover on Tuesday by the special steamer Wave, and left almgstimmediatly by South-Eastern train for London. Her Majesty was received at the Charing Cross Station by the Prince, Princess of Wales and the King of Greece. On Monday Captain Shaw reported the occurence of 19 fires 1n London since Sar- urday morning. The Times correspondent at Ragusa an~ nounces that the repert of a severe Idefeat of the Turks at Kuci is confirmed. Accord- ing to Montenegrin accounts, Mahmoud Pasha, with 20,000 men. advanced into the ravines of Kuci on Monday. His army was attacked on all sides, routed and pursued by the Montenegrins from Medan to Podgov- itza, where the Turks were protected by their artillery. The Montenegrins estimate the Turkish loss at 8,000. There is no doubt that this is the greatest disaster of the war. LONDON, Aug. 17.---The Standard’s special from Belgmd says :---“ It is reported that the Turks have occupied Petrowatza and Witrovitza in North Servia. These towns are respectively south and north of Badovinzi, the head quarteis of Gen Olim- pies. The Servian commander being thus outflanked, was obliged to evacuate Bad- ovinzi. It is repoxted that he is to be sup- receded by General Kolarofl'. a Russian. Everybody says that everybody should: be honest ; but everybody is not honest either abroad or at home. That we should be honest in our trade, weights and measures, dealing with om: nelgh-~ boys and with strangers is also clearly: right ; that a strong principle of integ- rity should govern us, is just What eve man not only admits, but believes an contends for. There is no such thing being too honest.
