I forgot to give TUDOR WIL- LIAMS' BAISAM OF HONEY to my children before they retired to bed. I am certa-in they will COUGH ALL NIGHT WITHOUT IT. There is nothing on tie face of the earth equal to it; thoroughly up-to-date." A „ In this damp and changeable climate Cougna and Colds are almost certain at some time during the winter to visit every household in the land. It would, therefore, seem only a wise precaution to keep on hand a bottle of TUDOR WILLIAMS' BALSAM OF HONEY ready for immediate use. Pleasant, soothing, healing, and a splendid tonic, it is certainly without an equal for the prevention and cure of troublesome coughs and in all thruat and .ung affections. Moreover, it does what no simple cough remedy will do—it promotaj appetite, aids digestion, increases weight, and builds up the health and strength generally. It contain* no opiate or other narcotic, and is perfectly safe even for the youngest infants. I am constantly receiving reports from all parts of the kingdom attesting its remarkable power to relieve and cure troublesome coughs. IT IS PRESCRIBED BY THE MEDICAL PRO- FESSION. and USED in the LEADING HOS- PITALS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. BALSAM OF HONEY Contains PURE WELSH HONEY and an essence of the purest and most efficacious Herbs on the Hills of Wales, being gathered in the proper season, when their virtues are in full perfection. nmnn ,lr A STIPENDIARY AND A MAGISTRATE IN THE COUNTY OF GLAMORGAN REMARKS:- I feel it my duty to inform you that I have been using your Tudor Williams' Balsam of Honey in my family, which is a large one. for many years, and have proved its great value, having used nothing else for Cough during Measles. Whooping Cough, and Bronchitis. and can highly recommend it to all parents for such complaints." Try it: you will not regret it. SEE YOU GET THE GENUINE ARTICLE.

The British pnblic, ca-utione nxid chary, always bearing in mind that 'fools rush in where angels feW to tread.' will rosfti in here. I see them scrambling1 for allotments like schoolboys for marbles. Big names, my boy—big and respeotaWe ones—thai s all; and damn the scheme, if it were to convert meloru into chariots and four—a, la, Cinderella th« British public would swallow it. and planl down their golden sovereigns, eh. Oobham, ol( man. The man who discovered that littl. weataeas deserved to be canonised by tht City." Mr. Oobham dad not like this boisteroof mood in Mr. Winstaple. The broker ha become frank—broitaJly frank—and Mr. Cob- ham was one of those who bore office as a churchwarden in Sydenham; who. when he stepped into the train every evening at Lon- don Bridge, left the cares and anxieties of the City behind, and became a respectable and respected member of the semi-detached aris tocracy of Forest Hill. He felt bound to protest. "Yon appear to dooibt the sonndneas of the 'Silver Streak: Winstaple; to donbt it, I say; and if I thought-" "If you thought what?" "Well. if I thought that-" then there was a geeure which was intended to fill up thE rest of the sentence. "I should just like to know, Cobbnm, what you do think; do you mean to tell me that you would subscribe to the 'Silver Streak, yourself, for instance?" "I have no money. If I had-" and there was another gesture, which might have meant "I would," or "I would consider it," or "I would not." The broker, however, as I have said, was in a Iboisterom mood, and he did not intend to let Mr. Oobham with, his religious scruples off. "I suppose you are not such an ass as to believe that 'The Salver Streak Gold Mining Company, Limited,' will ever pay a. dividend ?" "Of course I do. Do you think, Wmstaple, that 1, a ma.n of position, and-I hope I am always modest-a. man of religion and prin- ciples would ajseist with my name in floating this scheme if I did not consider it a really good-øpeculation." The broker roared with laughing. After a moment, during which Mr. Cobham looked indignantly astonished. "Speculation! Jerusalem! what speculation; why you sanctimonious old idiot, you know as well as I do there isn't an oranoe of gold I in tiie whole place," and Mr. "Winstaple gave way -again 40 turn saw of kamonz. "But there might be," responded Mr. Cob- ham, trying hard to keep up appearances with itimself. "Might be! there isn't—isn't—-isn't—isn't." shouted Mr. Winetaple, emphajSMimg the repetition with his fist on the table. '"Winetaple," answered the promoter, with an air of solemnity, you are joking. If I ibelieved you, even for a moment, I would have nothing more to do with it. I should oon- I sider it very wrong—very wrong, indeed; as it is, of coarse I know you are joking; I know J it very well, and if you were to swear you I weren't I Shouldn't believe you. Now, what about, Johnson and Jackson? I ought to tell you I saw Jacikson yesterday, and they are ready to make a. market; they have arrange- ments with half-adozen members of the House to keep the thing lively for at least a. month; then by that time we must get a quotation." "WinstapJe was willing to allow his scrupu- lous co-operator to ride off on this side matter. There was nothing to be gained by poshing him too far, particularly as the maji went straight enougih, so long as he was not put in conflict with that extraordinary quality which he had substituted for his conscience. "That's all right. Now you had better see Moses of the Financial Poster,' and get a. line put in at once. Something to this effect: 'Rumours are in the air that one of the most important—if not the most important—gold properties will be offered to the public in the course of a few days; it is said amongst people who ought to know that the vendor has sold at a mere eong-IWt a. year's yield, in fact. The shares are being eagerly dealt in at long premiums; there will be money made by the lucky ones who get allotments., Tell Moses I'm in the swim, a.nd he won't be forgotten, and then you can manage the smaller sharks easily enoagh." "Yes; I'll draw up something fetching; then day by day we must follow it up until the list is opened. I forgot to tell you I have arranged for a meeting of the board to- morrow at my office; shall you be there? I got Softeoap to register the company yester- day; I saw no time was to be lost." "I will attend—at what time?" "Two, sharp." "Right. But, Oobhato, how do you reconcile all this with your—religious scruples I think you called the things?" added the broker maliciously. "I sincerely trust, Winsbaple, that as the result of our labours the shareholders will be amply rewarded," and with that he took up hos umbrella, pot on Ms well-polished hat, and departed. Mr. Winstaiple was too much surprised to lough. "'If I oould only humbug myself like that, what a happy man I should be," he mused, a/a he heard the promoter's steady steps on the stairs. The meeting of the board came off the fol- lowing day. as arranged. Mr. Winstaple had not thought it desirable to summon the rector from Wales; there were many reasons, amongst them that it was best the board should be in working order before he put in an appearance. Then the rector was neces- sary where he was, with one eye on Winifred and the other, no doubt, on Dr. Eccles, and it would be very unwise to withdraw him from that important occupation. Lord Portskewft sat at the ihead of the table, with Sir Richard Beal to hie right, and Mr. Josiah Simple to his left; at the bottom was Mr. Shopst on-Jones—with a hyphen. Mr. I Shepston-Jones was a son-in-law of Mr. Oob- ham. and his name appeared upon the pros- pectus of all the companies promoted by that gentleman as "secretary pro te-m." The "secretary pro tern." was well up in his duties. He had his usual books before him to be called for if required by "my board," and he h.Ml a memorandum book in which be made entries of proceedings at board meetings, altered them when necessary or expedient, copied them into his agenda book, and then submitted them for signature, which, with submitted them for signature, which, with such a bosineaB-like board as this, was done as a matter of course. The itrst thing will be for secretary to read tbe miniftee of the last meetote," re- marked fche ohairmatn. "I beg pardon, my lord," remarked Mr. Shepston-Jonee, "this is the first meeting: of the dfireotors of The Silver Streak Gold Mining Company. Limited." "Ah—yes, of course, how absent of me. Tt is two o'clock; I am due at the meeting of Benson Flats. Limited, at three, and I made a mistake; this is our first meeting as direc- tors of a. company, which I have no doubt will, under our fathering care, be a very me- cessful company. I look upon my companies as I would upon my children. I have not been blessed with children in the proper sense; with me the ancient earldom of Ports- kewet becomes extinct. It is a sad reoolleo- tion, but I tXUgt-I very sincerely trust that the name and title I bear will be remembered in the future as that of the pioneer of many successful—very successful commercial enter- prises. Do you know, Beal, I sometimes hope that these companies over which I preside will ae called Portskewet companies, and so the old title would not die out after all, what do you think?' and the noble lard refreshed himself with a pinch of snuff. "Perhaps, my lord, the board would like the assistance of Mr. Cobham and Mr. Win- staple to inform you as to how matters are progressing." interrupted Mr. Shepston-Jones. who was aware of the weak points in his lord- ship's character, and thought it as well to get to business. "Quite right. Jones; send for Cobham." Thereupon the promoter and the broker took their seats at the board; there were friendly nods round, and after a. few pre- liminary remarks Mr. Winstaple began— "Proposed by the chairman, and seconded by Sir Richard Beal, that the prospectus of the company, a copy of which was read and is hereto annexed, be issued. That is carried. I presume. Have you got it down?" he inquired of the secretary. "Stay," said the colonel, "I ought to see the prospectus." "A mere matter of form, my dear eir," answered the Queen's counsel. "Oh! very well; if you say so, of course. I apologise. go on." "Proposed by Sir Richard Beal, and seconded by Mr. Josiah Simple, that the abridged pros* pectus be inserted in the ordinary news- papers," continued Mr. Winstaple, dictating to the secretary. "Wait," interrupted Mr. Oobham. "had we not better get a resolution to go to the publia put in first?" "Yes, of course; I had forgotten that," replied Winstaple. So all the resolutions were duly proposed, and seconded, and carried; and if any judge should hereafter make inquiries as to the pro- ceedings at this board meeting he would find everything duly recorded in the agenda book. scrupulously kept by the secretary pro tem. and be wpo44 farlbw find that the chapman and board were duly paid their fees for the important labours tney bad undergone on behalf of the> brother shareholders. "Is that tail ?" imqusred Lord Portskewet, frith, a. sigh of relief. "I will get these out. for signature. We should have another meeting on Friday, answered Mr. Shepston-Jones. "Same time, I suppose?" asked the colonel. who having tasted blood in the shape of directors' fees was eager to follow the scent. "I would prefer it a little earlier." remarked the peer; he wae an old and well-established guinea pig, with many appointments on his note-book. The time was arranged and the board dis- persed. Mr. Cobham was left with Mr. Winstaple. "That was a nice little note in the "Poster** —a very nice liitle note," said the latter. "You think I can do my work well some* times, then?" "My dear Oobham, you do not, I hope, detude yourself with the idea that I do ibusbyen with you because you are beautiful, or wealthy, or influential, or a. hundred other things." "What is it, then, to which I owe the felicity of your patronage?" aeked the promoter in more testy tones than he was in the of using. "If you must know, it is to yoor ckeligbftfui hypocritical cheek." "Beally, W&nstaple, I do not uradenstasid you. Of late you have been—well, to say the least of it-rude, positively rude to me; I am hurt, I tell you plainly I aan very much hurt, after j so many years— j "Don't say any move aboot it, old man; but that nete, YOU osmnot be surprised. I was completely knocked off my perch—as the parrot ea.id-a.fter your pious remaarkB of yes- terday. That note! oh, lord!" and Mr. Win- staple could not resist the temptation of 6. hearty laugh. Mr. Oobham was secretly pleased; his vanity waa flattered, for it was evident the broker was delighted with the paragraph he had written and got inserted; and however mooh. Mr. Oobham might, from time fA) time, be offended with Mr. Winstaple, he was ssffi- oierrtly impressed with the astuteness and 1 business capacity of that gentleman to be overjoyed when he dapped his haInde aat approval. There wae a. gtiod deaJ. of trouble to be gone through yet with "The Siiver Streak Gold Mining Company." The director* were obtained, and the prospectus was sketched out and ready, with all the other necessary namee, true; "out that is not ail that is needed to float successfully a public company— is in the way in which the British puttie require that a coanpa/ny should be floated. Some of the underwriting had yet to be done, Some of the underwriting had yet to be done, and then, although, the "Financial Poster" and its presiding deity, Moses, had been arranged with, and was now going strong m favour of the new enterprise; there was a whole shoal of other papers of equal honesty but of not so large influence and circulation. to be propitiated. Underwriting shares is a peculiar opera.tion. and it is one which, taking it altogether, is not unprofitable to the under- writers; but a person desirous of under- writing looks at the prospects of the pubiio ooming in and subscribing to the shares more far more—than at the bona. fides or chajMes of the company when floated. Now, the pro. cess of floating public companies, and the persons who really float them, but whose names are carefully kept in the background, (such as Mr. Oobha.m and Mr. Winstaple) are well-known to certain other persons, who are proprietors, or editors, or advertisement can- < vaeaers of financial newspapers; and these persons make a living, and often enough a, I fortune, by blackmailing the promoters. Tbev are in the position of the man who knows has friend is cheating at cards and who insists on going halves in the profits. If the pro- moter refuses, his name and that of all his 00. operators appear in the next morning's issue together with recollections of his previous domgs in the Oily of the Just and of the financial results of the companies with wbtcb, the particular gang has been previously con- nected.
