Life as il Is.

Let US make an excursion down the
street and see what we can learn. on
der is the wreck Of rich mans son. lie
was permitted 10 grow up without en-
ployment, went and came as he pleased
and spent his time in the qualification o
spontaneous passions, desires, and incll
nations, with no one 20 check him when
his course was evil, or encourage him in
the way Of wisdom. His father was
rich, and for that reason he son thought
he had nothing 10 do, no part in honest Ia.
Dor to perform.
Well, the father died, and The son in
beried portion of his abundant wealth,
and having never earned money by hon
est toll, he knew not the value Of it, and
having no knowledge Of business, he
knew not how 10 use it, SO he gave loose
reins to his appetites and passions, and
ran at rapid pace down the broad road
TO dissipation. Now behold him--a bro
ken down man, bowed with in6rmily, q
mere wreck of what he was, both physi-
caIly and mentally. His money is gone,
and he lives on The charity Of those whose
hearts are open with pity. Such is the
fate of hundreds and thousands that are
born to fortune.
And there, on the opposite side, in that
comfortable mansion, lives the son Of a
poor cobbler. Fifteen years ago he IeIi
the humble room of his parents, and went
forth into the broad world alone TO seek
his fortune. All his treasures consisted
of his chest of tools, good knowledge Of
his trace, honest principles, industrious
habits, and twenty-five coppers. Now
he is the owner of that elegant mansion,is
doing thriving business, possesses an
unbroken constitution, and bids fair to
live to good old age. Such is the lot of
hundreds and thousands, who never boas-
ted of wealthy parenta9e.
Go into The city, and You will almost
invariably find that most enterprising men
are Of poor parentage--men who have
had TO row against wind and tide:--while
on the other hand majority of the des-
cendonls Of mediocriy in talents, live a
short time like drones, on the labor Of oIh-
ers, and then 60 down 10 untimely graves.
What lesson should this be to those
who are by all means, either fair or foul,
accumulating treasures for their children.
If the rich would train up their chill
1ren 10 regular habits Of industry, very
many Of them would De saved from in-
misery, and an unIimely end.

AYirea and Darehters.

A contemporary, who is somewhat pos
ted up in satin AID statistics, talk as iOi'
lO"s.:
"While The business men of America
proverbiaIiy live poorer, dress shobbier.
work harder. and many more hours, tban
in any other country in the world, Ihetr
wives and daughters ale len times more
idle, more eXlravagant, and more use
less"
Ii strikes us there is some truth in that
extract. MIR. Brocha, Of the house o.
Brocha, Buckram IL Co., tolls from
twelve to sixteen hours per day. Brocha
last year made $4,000. What became
of it? Ten thousand dollars Of The same
were spent by Mrs. Brocha, for oew fur
n,ure, .to spite the MaXweIIs," while a
large portion of the balance was expended
on "Blanche and Sarah" so that ley
might &C 10 Newport and ''show Tie Fan-
tadlings" that there were other diamonds
in New York besides those which were
inherited from a great grandfather who
found in India p,incely fortune and a
diseased liver. Brochd had becn IN bu,.
mess since 1910. He does large and
lucrative business. People who have
never been in his parlor and kitchen mag
inc thatBrocha is worth quarter OF a mI-
lion Of dollars, while those who have been
in, wonder how he dodges the sheriff
Brocha is still toiling, and is still making
money, and yet if he should die to-mor-
row, it is questionable whether his assets
would equal his Liabilities. Brocha will
probably end his days by testing the virtue
of a shiIling's worth ofstrychnine. Should
we be one of The jurors who Sit upon the
body, we should bring in the verdict
"died from the visitation Of an eXlravag"nl
wife and TWO senseIess daughters"

Influence of Women.

1t is better for you 10 pass an evening
once or twice week in drawing room,
even though the conversation is rather
slow, and you know the girls songs by
heart, than in a club, tavern, or lhe pit Of
a theatre. Al amusements of youth, to
which virtuous women are not admitted,
rely on il, are deleterious in their nature.
All men who avoid female society have
dull perceptions and are stupid, or have
lhe gross tastes and revolt against what is
pure. Your club swaggers, who are suck
ing The butts of billiard cues all night, call
lema ale society insipid. Poetry is inspid
to yokel beauty has no charms lof a
blind man music does not please On un-
fortunate brute who does not know one
tune from another; and true epicure is
hardly ever Tired Of water-sanchy and
brown bread and butter. protest can
sit for whole night talking 10 a weIl-reg-
ulated, kindly woman about her daughter
coming out. or her boy al Eton, and like
the evenings entertainment. One OF tue
great benefits man NAV derive hom wo-
mans society is, that he is bound 10 be
respectful 10 them. The habit is of great
good 10 your moral man. depend upon it.
Our education makes Of us the most en-
inenllv selfish men in The world. We
fight for ourselves, we push for ourselves,
we cut the best slices out OF the JOINT al
the CLUB DINNERS for ourselves: we yawn
for ourselves, and light our pipes and say
we won't 90 out; we prefer ourselves and
our ease ; and the greatest good that comes
TO man from woman's society is, thai,
he has 10 think of somebody besides him
self; somebody 10 whom he is bound TO
be constantly attentive and respecdul.-I

have an account Of the course he has loI-

a small sum of money and the blacks NTH
trade. He wen: down the Ohio as a stee.
rage passenger, reached ST. Louis, thence
up the Illinois till his money had failed.
He stopped and worked to get his purse
recruited to reach Giend'S hose. There
he worked month to pay mln for
bringing chest from Illinois river. III
nalIv he reached Chicago, GOT contract
on the Illinois and Wisconsin Canal, was
getting rich, when Illinois Strip made
him poorer than when he 5eg.n. Then
The chiIls and (evers laid him up for
year. Let ihs suffice as specimen.
At l,st he returned % Chicago, bought
enough boards on credit 10 make black

ground and bringing the tops together. In
Ibis he began TO make plows, which his
fathef-n-law had cened. From that time
he has gone steadily forward, until his car

one for some dneen hundred dollars, and
the other for some six thousand. The

He had accomplished his object: but
concluded his narrative by saving, that u
he had life 10 begin again, and he "knew
that by enduring all ihat he had endured

A BALLOON AscENsIoN.-On Saturday
evening last, it was announced that Mr..
King would make balloon ascension
from Doylestowu. 1t was found, howev-
er, after the balloon was inflated, that Mr..
X. was too heavy. A young man in The
audience, Mr. Marion, Immediately volun-
leered. He took off his coat, when the
car was cut from the balloon, and the lat
ter ascended in westerly direction. The
car was cut away because an ascent could
not be effected otherwise. The advenlu-
rous voyager suspended himself from the
balloon by an arrangement OF the ropes,
and his situation was extremely periloas
the more especially as he had not the
proper control over the valve. His course
upward was watched with great anxiety,
as he ascended into The gloom Of the eve
ming. Nothing was heard Of him mil
Monday morning, when he was found sew
entecn miles North OF DoyIestown, al
place called Red Hill. He was in the air
for The space Of lory-lour hours. His
sulIcrings and endurance were great, and
the wonder is lhathe escaped with his
life. The feat was one o. Tie most daring
on record.
