BILE doom. A1
Shaving for Money.
We pity The man who wears out his ener-
gles ia the accumulation Of riches, which,
when enassed, he will have lost the capaci-
iy TO enjoy. He finds himself at the end Of
his labors, guest al his own feast, without
an appetite for its dainties. The wine of
life is wasted, and nothing remains hut the
lees. The warm sympathies of his heart
have been choked by the inexorabe spirit Of
| avarce, and they cannon be resuscilated-
The founiainhead Of his enthusiasm is seal
ed; he looks at all things in nature and in
art with the eye of calculation; hard mat
ter-of-lact is the only pabulum tha, his
mind can feed on !; the elastic spring of i'm
pulse is broken; the poetry Of existence is
gone.
Are wealth and position an equivalent for
| these losses? 1t ii not the millionaire, who
has acquired wealth at such cost, miser-
| able bankrupt? 10 our opinion there is little
TO choose on the score of wisdom between
the individual who recklessly squanders his
money he goes along in folly and exlrava-
ounce, and the false economist who denies
himself the wholesome enioymcnts Of life, in
dened process of scraping up, he had be-
come TO mean 10 spend, and TOO selfish to
give away.
The only rational way to live is 10 mix la
Dor with enjoymenl-a streak of fat and a
streak of lean. There is nothing like streaky
| life-a pleasant mixture of ion, thank
lulness, love, jollity and repose. The man
who slaves for riches, makes poor return TO
| that God who took the trouble of making him

Hungary, ever goes TO hotel.
/ may say here, that such was the univer-
sal hospitality towards me, as an American,
that while in Hungary, except naturally in

vice Of Hungarian hospitality if the guest
seemed obsuinarely bent on going, to slip
out and take of the ,oheeis Of his ,cagon, and
oblge him TO remain And that less than
a three days visit was an insult to your
