UNCLE BENJAMIN:, SER MON:
Not many hours ago I heard Uncle Benjamin dis-
cussing this matter to his son, who was complaining
of pressure.

Rely upon it, Sammy," said the old man, as he
leaned on his staff, with his grey locks flowing in the
breeze of a May morning, " murmuring pays no bills.
I have been an observer many times these 50 years,
and I never saw a man helped out of a hole by curs-
ing his horse!. Be as quiet as you can, for nothing
will grow under a moving harrow, and discontent
harrows the mind. Matters are bad, I acknowledge,
but no ulcer is any better for being fingezed. The
more you groan the poorer you grow. Repining at
lost es is only putting pepper into a sore eye. Crops
will fail in all soils, and we may be thankful that we
have not a famine. Besides, I always took notice that
whenever I felt the rod pretty smartly, it was as much
as to say, ' here i 3 something which you have got to
learn.' Sammy, don't forget that your schooling is
not over yet, though you have a wife and two chil-
dren."

"Aye," cried Sammy, "you may say that, and a
mother-in-law and -two apprentices into the bargain,
and I should like to know what a poor man can learn
here, when the greatest scholars and lawyers are at
loggerheads, and can't for their lives tell what has
become of the hard money."
" Softly, Sammy, I am older than you; I have not
got these grey hairs and this crooked back without
some burdens. I could tell you stories of the days of
continental money when my grandfather used to
know what you stuff a sulky box ,•
