THE BoRN-RICH TO BE PITIED-That was
once notion of ours for many years. and
it finds recent expression in the S. f. National,
which paper argues " that the children OF
wealth who acquire position and fame in the
United States are entitled to more credit and
must surmount greater difficulties than those
Of humble origin who achieve similar sue
cess" This somewhat paradoxical article,
says the Home Journal, from which we get
the extract, concludes us follows:
"But how is it with the poor boy-thc
offspring OF the brawny armed mechanic or
the rough tiler OF the soil His cradle, il
he has one, is from the willow copse Ii be
cries, in the petulance of infancy, he may
cry on. 1t does him good, it strengthens
his lungs. His mother is too busy. Her
arms are barred III the wash-tub. He be-
comes tOddling urchin, and ragged and
barefooted; his frame acquires strength and
consistency in rude sport with comrades
equally ragged and barefooted. lie has q
torn spelling-book, and that kind mother
aids him to master its contents. She ever
tells him to be virtuous and to acquire in
formation, for his future success depends
alone upon his own exertions. Thus he ac-
quires habits of self-reliance x < 4
With these youths success is as inevitable
as destiny. Now such are styled self made
men. They are not self-made. The very
circumstances of poverty and low origin
have accomplished their renown. They are
the ones who deserve no credit, in this coun-
try, for attaining wealth and reputation and
high position. To the rich mans son should
be awarded praise, if he escape the contain
ination which wealth bestrews upon his
pathway. Better be the poor sou of a
{! stone-cutter, in these United States, than
the pampered offspring of debilitating affiu-
ence."

HANGING GARDENs.-Jacob Abbot, in his
Ancient History for Children, thus in sub
stance describes the hanging gardens of
Babylon. They were built by Nebuchad-
nezzar to please beautiful princess. She
was a native of Media, mountainous coun-
try, and when she came to reside in Baby
lon, she complained of the monotony of
their plains, and said she ionged to see q
hill. Accordingly hanging gardens were re-
ally artificial mountains. They consisted of
series of stone platforms, supported on
arches of masonry, rising one above the
other for more than hundred feet On
these platform gardens mould was laid,
thick enough for the largest trees to grow
in. This mould was cultivated as a garden,
and laid out with walks, fountains, flowers,
shrubbery, trees, bowers and statues.
Flights of steps led from one platform to the
other. The scene must have been one of
extreme beauty.--E1.

The St. Louis correspondent of the Union,

The st. Louis correspondent OF the Union,
writing from that city under date of Sep
tember 18th, notices the arrival overland of
Mr. Everett, of French Corral, and as he
has many friends hereabouts, we publish
that portion of the letter relating to his trip
and the incidents connected with it:
Among the passengers who arrived on
Monday night were J. H. Ray, of Los Ange-
les, and a Mr.. Everett, OF Nevada. The ac-
count of the trip, furnished by the Democrat,
is interesting:
"The passage was rather unpleasant, and
the mail was delayed about three days be-
hind its usual time by incessant rains
When but short distance from the Colorado
river the stage mired, and, in the effort to
extricate it, partially overturned. No injury
was done, however, to any OF the passen-
gers. Another incident of a similar kind
occurred when near the West Nesila Valley.
One portion OF the stage sunk almost two
feet, owing to the extreme softness of the
GROUND over which they were travelling
While passing through the Rio Valley an
attack was MADE by the Apache and Conan
che Indians upon one of the stations, and
ten or eleven valuable mules were stolen
About two days after that, the Comanches
stole from another station nine mules, one
horse and eight or nine beef cattle. They
slaughtered the latter at a short distance
! from the scene of their depredations, and
left the dead animals untouched but took
the horse and mules away. This shows very
conclusvely that the robbery was not COM
mtted because they wanted food, but merely
to carry out malicious designs. At one
| place they shot at the station houses with
their arrows very frequently, but fortunately
no person was wounded thereby. Nothing
of any Importance oct urred from the time
| they left 81 Paso till they reached the Ar
kansas river. When opposite Van Buren
the stage mired and by some it was thought
almost impossible to move it. In endeavor-
ing to extricate it the tongue of the mail
coach was broken, to remedy which it was
found necessary to go back about four miles
to Fort Smith, where another stage was
procured, in which the passengers were
safely conveyed to Upton. The robberes
committed by the Indians, deprivng them
of their mules, caused considerable delay,
as they were obliged to drive one train 80
miles without changing, which was about
four times the distance they should have
Travelled, considering the state of the roads"

The daily Journal is also required to be a
record Of art, science, literature, politics,

the most versatile talents of the most success

Owing still the leve that granted
