Why Don't Men Get Rich:

Of one hundred men, it would be safe, we think,
to assert that at least seventyve have strong idea
to be possessed of worldly goods and property in a
word, to be rich Of these sevcntyfve, in active
and ready-witted American population, it would
rarely happen that one entirely wanting in ia
Guilty of diligence-and yet few, up to middle age,
"oqiTo competency, Or in respect to fortune, &C
complish their wishes. Can any man give us the
philosophy of this frequent result Itappears to us
to lie in small compass There is in every commu-
nifty number of persons determined not to labor,
who lend their whole inert energies to the reversal
of the order of scripture by the sweat of thy brow
shalt thou live They then resolve, and maintain
their resolution with calm and stubborn uniformity
to the end of their days not to sweat but to keep
cool'-and let others do the hard work in the heat
ct the day Characters of this stamp to be found
i" every town, village, city, and district in the
try.
And how do they live? Simply by using others
Either by getting possession of their property with
out paying for it, false credit or by brnc ing
others in, by way of loans endorsements, to pay
their debts. In word, diligent Americans fail to
grow rich. at least to secure Complementary not
collecting the debts they have earned in their calling
by having to pay the debts of other people These
are two fruitful sources of all the failures of the
country. Do we argue, therefore against loans and
credits In one form and another they the bond
and basis of modem socety-the point we seek to
get at is thisthat men who have small means should
live on small means; that no man has right to
launch into splendor the expected profits of his
business and to make his creditors contribute to his
extravaganza and that of his household-n other
words, has right to spend dollar before he
has earned dollar.-Lherary World.

What is knowledge? To be away from home

He Loves Her Memory VOW.

BY THOMAS j. DrEIiL.
He loved her when youths merry beam
Was sparkling in her eye,
He loved her when life seemed dream,
Without tear sigh.
He loved her when the sunny smile
Was lighting up her brow
That eye is closed-that smile is fed;
He loves her memory now.
He loved her when the bloom of health
Was fresh upon her cheek;
He loved her when her kindly voice
IL gentle tones would speak.
He loved her ere the hand of care
Was planted on her brow
Her voice is hushed--that bloom is dead;
He loves her memory now.
He loved her when he the rose
Upon her cheek decay,
He loved her though he knew its glow
Was passing fast away.
He loved her when beneath life's storm
He saw her meekly bow
The storm is past, and she is gone;
He loves her memory now.
He loved her when her eye grew cold,
And lost its starry light,
He loved her when her sad tear told
Of early coming blight.
He loved her when her hand he pressed,
And breathed his earn est now,
She smiled reply, and he was blessed
He loves her memory now.
He loved her when her futtering breath
Came bearing many a sigh;
He loved her when in chilly death
He saw her sleeping lie.
He loved her when the tomb's cold seal
Was resting ON her brow
He often wanders the grave,
And loves her memory now.

NATURAL REL1GIoN.-We have been not little
amused with the following definition of the religion
of e nature" furnished by the Yankee Blade. 1t
comes remarkably near to the truth
l. Look out for number
2. Use others all you can, and let them use " you
as little as possible.
8. Get money honestly, if you can, but-get mo-
4. Hold on to what you have got, and get much
more you can.
s. Every one for himself, and the j take the
hndmost.
Here you have the whole thing in nutshell
There is no need of linking whole reams of paper
with explanations of the subject, for here you have
the exact doctrines in which the world believes and
which practiced upon by vast majority of peo-
pie in every nation the globe.
W1vEs.-We find the following paragraph going
the rounds of the papers. 1t purports to be ex-
tract from Mrs Ellis lectures addressed to young
ladies':
"My pretty little dears, you are no more fit fol-
matrimony than ducklet is to look after family
of fourteen chickens. The truth is my dear girls,
you want generally speaking, more liberty and less
fashionable restraint more kitchen and less parlor
more breakfast and less hustle. like the buxom,
bright-eyed, rosy checked, full breasted, bouncing
lass, who can darn stockings, make her own frocks,
mend trousers command regiment of pots and
kettles, milk the cows feed the pigs chop wood and
shoot a wild duck as we'll as the Duchess of MARI
boro or the Queen of Spain, and be lady withal in
the drawing-room. But as to your pining, moping
