THE REVIVAL.

The revival of business is noticeable on every hand. The merchants who built high hopes on what would come after bar rest are free to admit that, the revival has been greater than they expected, and everything is entirely satisfactory. The prospects for a heavy Fall trade are the best for years. The disposition to pay cash for whatever*' is purchased has net been so great since 1866. It is seldom that credit is* asked for. This is one of the most healthy signs that comes to prosperous business, and the general opinion is that it will be a long time before the people will think again of getting into debt. Their experience has been a defer one, and they do not wtlat to repeat it. The outlook for the future could not be butter. There is no surplus goods in the bands of the consumers. They need goods, and have now got the money with which to get them, and the necessity for a erftlit system has has passed, and trade is booming in every direction, and tbe merchant who goes into trade with industry aud enterprise for his motto, will be rewarded with-success.— [Lafayette Jourdal.
