THE REAL WEALTH OF A NATION
This is not to be estimated by the
amount of actual money possessed by
the people, but by the energy, industry
and general intelligence of the inbabi-
itants. Gold and silver do not cousti-
tute wealth, except as means by which
we are enabled to accomplish certain
ends. A nation in war will be rich only
when it has plenty aud a surplus of
men; so, in times of famine, provisions
alone constitute true wealth. Gold and
silver may contribute to a nations pas
times and pleasures, but they are by no
means sources of wealth. Tnis in every
case depends on the virtue, energy, iu-
telligence and piety of a people. So
whenever the mechanic would say to
himself, 1 am poor, let him ask whether
be is not a contributor to the actual
wealth of his country. All the gold in
c~hristendom could not have done for
America what Fitch and Fulton did.

How THE Pass IS AFFLICTED BY DEAD
Observation-Disclosures occasionally complain of
dead heading. but no institution suffers 80
much from it as the press. A sensible writer
says:
The press endures the infliction of dead
headism from the pulpit, the barand the stage
from corporations, societies and individuals.
1t is expected to yield its interests it is re-
quired TO give strength to weak institutions /;
eyes to the blind clothes to the naked. and
bread to the hungry it is asked to cover up
infirmities, hide weaknesses, and wink at i'm
proprieties; it is expected to herald quacks,
bolster up dull authors and fatter the vain; it
is, in short to be all things TO all men; and if
it looks for pay or reward, it is denounced as
mean and sordid. There is no interest under
the whole heavens that is expected to give SO
much to society without pay or thanks as the
Press.

A NAN DYING FROM HYDRoHPHoBIA.-
A young married man, named Aaron
Myers, living in WATERFOWL, Conn,
was during the month of May last bit
ten in the arm by a mad dog. The
animal was killed, and Myers, appraised
of the critical nature of the wound,
which readily healed, pursued his regu-
lar vocation until Sunday night last,
when he became delirious, and at the
sight of water fell into violent spasms.
These unmistakable symptoms of by
drophobia continued TO increase, and he
warned his wife to remove with their
children to a place of security, and not
to remain in his presence. A number
of kind hearted gentlemen attended him
and kept a close watch of his move
ments-Ropea and straps were prepared
with which to confne him in case ne be
came dangerous, and all this time the
victim, notwithstand ding the efforts of
physicians to etherize him, grew hourly
worse.
