One man fails to pay a bill, and twenty
are cheated of their dues. As a people we
are too apt to count on a clear sky, and
when the storm edmesj are unprepared far
it. Our German population is partially
excepted, as a rule they are provident.—
We suppose there have been less foreclo
sures upon pro; Briy held byGermans than

hundreds of laborers are idle for want of
work at four shillings a day. Stores are

It is said, “when wheat rises, and when
France goes to war with England,” them
we shall have better times. So “when
the sky falls we may catch larks.” There
is a remedy for some of the rriany finan
cial evils under which we now labors and
it is to - conle down, in our notions. Re
duce real estate, reduce rents, reduce the
expense of living, work hard and pay as
you go. Managing thus we can in time
get back to the point from whence we fell
then will the hard limes begin to let
up.—[Mil. Wisconsin.
