English Love OF Wealth.


There is Eo country in which so absolute
an homage is paid TO wealth. In America,
there is touch of shame when man exhb.
it's the evidence of large property, as il, after
all, it needed apology. But the Englishman
has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it
final certificate. A coarse logic rule lhro'.
out all English souls; il you have merit, can
you not show il by your good clothes, and
coach, and horses? How can man be a
gentleman without pipe or wine? Hayden
says, "There is a fierce resolution 10 make
every man live according TO the means he
possesses" There is mystery of religion
in it. They are under the Jewish law, and
read with sonorous emphasis that their days
shall be long in the land, they shall have sons
and daughters, hocks and herds, wine and
oil. In exact proportion is tie reproach Of
poverty. They do not wish TO be misrepre.

TALL MEs.-A man by the name of Bour.
bon, native of Maryland, now in his sew.
entieth year, is residing in Kentucky,-the
father OF a family unrivalled for their physi.
cal development. Og, king of Bashan, and
the sons of Anak, were not many feet taller.
Maximinis, the Thracian shepherd, who
became Roman Emperor, rather over
topped the Bourbons, being nearly eigh.
feet in altitude, and of incredible strength.
The late celebrated jurist, the Hon. Jere.
miah Mason, of Boston, was six feet and
four inches in height. DR.. Griffin, formerly
a clergyman of Park Street Church, and
subsequently, president of Williams College
in Western Massachusetts, was also six feet
and four inches. A farmer, quite youth,
residing in the country not far from this city.
who occasionally comes TO market, attracts
marked attention in passing through the
streets, in consequence of standing over
seven feet in his shoes. And lastly, one Of
the prominent practising physicians of Bos-
ton is reputed to be six feet and four inches

A VERY SINGULAR AFFAIR.-A very curious
case of confusion has taken place in a
family in Lumber Street, on Arbor Hill. A
mother and her daughter were both con-
fined on the same day, each having little
son. In the hustle of the moment both ba-
bies were placed in a cradle, and to the
confusion of the mothers, when the young
sters were taken from the cradle, they were
unable to tell which was the mothers and
which was the daughters soma matter
which, of course, must ever remain mys-
terry. The family is in great distress over
the affair. Albany --Kniekaboeker.
