A SWISS CAPITALIST AND MISER.

A SWISS CAPITALIST AND MlSER.
A foreign correspondent of the New York
journal Of Commerce, relates the following
history Of Swiss manufacturer:
Switzerland is a very Industrious cuun-
try. Among her principal articles q manu-
tacture. are silk and cotton. Low wages and
an neyhaustible abundance OF water power,
give 10 her large manufacturing establish
mcnts. advantages over many ether countries
which make competition easy. Many OF the
pruprieturs of these establishments have
:im;lssed fabulous riches, unknown to the
world, and in some instances to themselves.
Last week one Of these cotton lords OF the
last named category, died. His name was
Kouz, but he was generally known by the
name Of Spinner King" His large cotton
mill is situated in the village Of Uster, short
distance from Zurich He was seli-made
man, man without any education. and with
out any prominent talents. His principal
qualities were horrible avarice. an iron in
dustry, and the art of extortlnS from his la
borers "a much work for as little pay as pos
sible. lIewas sixty-eight wears Of age when
he died an old bachelor lie never enjoyed
any Of the pleasures OF life.
\ low. small. dirty room, with an old he'd
stead. and no other furniture, was his resi-
dence Attached TO il was a kitchen. where
his old servant resided and cooked his sean
" meals. which he used To devour standing.
in order TO save time. He never gave any
aims or any support TO poor people. Nom
sense Good for nothing, Let them save
and work was his stereotyped reply IN such
cases. lie did not pay taxes on more than
100000 until two years AZ" De was compel!-
cd to raise his assessments to LOU, OuO.-
lie never kept any regular books, never
stock book never took an inventory. About
twelve years ago he was rurSuaded by busi-
ness friends TO get an inventory taken; but
when that inventory, long before II was nm
ished. already showed nett property OF
.o,O00,Oo0 ofZurich guilders, or lomo,oW
free Of all debts, he stopped the continuation
Of it with his usual wurds--''NcnsenSe.-
Good for nothing" True to his principles
this modern Cr9sus has bequeathed moth
ing to his laborers. nothing to benevolence
or useful institutions, and his laughing
heirs will divide amongst them the whole of
the enormous property, the amount OF
which will be made out very soon by the
courts.

JACK FRoST.-There is a mellow ring IN
this elegant extract, which BELTS the mellow
days Of autumn:
Mr.. Jack Frost does not kiss the chaSte
face of nature. and behold! how she bushes
in the maple, the woodbine and oak, and
turns all manner of colors i'll the beech, the
linden. the chestnut and elm. How beaut-
full she looks in her heightened color! But
her brilliant complexion is, alas. but hec-
tc--an evidence of frailty--a precursor OF
speedy decay. Consumption lmparts tins
glorious and exquisite loneliness TO her c"un-
teuance-but the expression is not OF this
world; it is celestial, the ushering IN OF one
understandable future.
The beauty of the world is most ravishlnS
when first touched by the magical finger OF
the frost, which is at once the death stroke
Of the foliage, and cause Of its dying-dol-
phn splendors. Thus the sun sheds lus,
tire over creation at his setting, surprising
his MONDAY glories, filing the universe
with food Of light and beauty, as If to IN
demnify mankind for the privations of both,
during the approaching night. 50 nature
dresses herself in her wonderful beauty, as a
parting pledge Of her love, and as memorial
Tor us to take and to cherish during the
sombre days of the coming winter, when
no flowers can blossom. no verdure quicken.
