HOW TO GET RICH.


Carlyle has said somewhere that the only
state of future torment much regarded or
feared nowadays is Poverty. How to mako
money how to acquire rapidly abundant
wealth-is the general and anxious inquiry.
Somebody has lately published "A book pur-
porting to lay bare the whole art and mystery
of money making-including the difficult
feat of making the first q ,000-for the paltry
sum of one dollar Fired with emolation,
we propose to contribute our mite towards the
development of auriferous science
Let us begin by frankly confessing that
we know no royal road 20 desirable wealth
and greatly doubt the existence of any. We
have heard of this or that man making a
great pile in day, or night, or some other
short period, by speculation, forestalling,
gambling, something of the sort, but have
no faith in that sort of acquisition as either
desirable or (save in rare instances) practi-
cable. The Old book says, ''He that maxi
eth haste TO be rich 'shall not be innocent"
land more important truth has rarely
appeared in any book. If those who are hot
on the scent of Coffee plantations in Central
America or Sugar estates in Cuba don't be-
lieve it now, ninety nine in every hundred of
them will rue their skepticism before they
shall be ten years older.
Nor can we advise any one to rush to
Pixies Peak in quest of the eagealy coveted
gold. A good many are now streaming
thither, and more perhaps will follow them,
some of whom will probably succeed in their
quest while far larger number will return
poorer than they went, besides being sick.
sore and weary. OF the few who make any
thing in the new Dorado, many more will
owe their good fortune to success in gamb-
ling or peddlng than in persons digging gold.
Still less can we counsel any young man
to seek classic education, with Wow to
eminence in some profession. The profess
sions are all oyerdone; it would be blessed
thing for all, if not another lawyer or doctor
should he ground out during the next ten
years The market is already glutted and
the stock held for better demand is deplo-
rably heavy
Nor do we think it we'll for even one more
youth to addict himself to Trade There
are this day as many two persons engag-
ed in selling goods to each twenty families
throughout the country. In other words
Productive Industry is paying about one
quarter Of its products for the trouble of ex-
changing them, not taking into account the
cost Of transportation. If we could reduce
pui "RBi eBatN vi "ciOn"h1s vi "ii Bfhueh py
three-fourths, the remainder might thrive
while selling goods at one half the profit now
charged.
And yet we believe the world never afforded
larger or better opportunities for acquiring
wealth than 1t does just now and that there
is no better place for trying than our own
country affords. Let us give few hints on
this head to those who may need them.

THERE'S BUT ONE PAIR OF STOCK
INGS TO MEND TONIGHT

An old wife sat by her bright fresde,
swaying thoughtmlly to and fro,
In an ancient chair whose creaky craw
Told tale Of long ago;
While down by her side on the kitchen floor
Stood basket Of worsted balls-a score.
The good man dozed DER the latest news,
Till the FIRE Of his pipe went out
And, unheeded, the Kitten, with cunning paws,
Rolled out aud tangled the balls about;
Yet still sai the wife IN the ancient chair.
swayug 20 and fro in the hrc-light glarei
But anon, a misty tear-drop came
In her eye N faded blue,
Then trickled down in furrow deep,
Like single drop Of dow;
SO deep was the ohanncl--so silent the stream,
The good man naught but the dmn'd eye-bcam.
Yet maryclled he much that the cheerful light
OF her eye had weary grown
And matvcllcd he more N the tangled balls
So he said, Loo gentle tone
81 have shared thy joys since our marriage vow,
Conceal not from me thy sorrows now"
Then she spoke Of the time when the basket there
Was filled 20 the very brm,
And now there remained of the goody pile
But single pair-for him
Then wonder not at the dimned cycliuht!
There's but one pair of stockings 10 mend Tonight
cannot but think of the busy feet.
Whose wrappngs we're wont 20 lay
In the basket, awaiting the needles tinse-
Now wandered so far away
How the spnghuy steps to a mother dear,
Unheeded fell on the careless ear.
For each empty nook in the basket old,
By the hearth there's empty seat:
And | miss the shadows from OF the wall,
And the patier of many feet:
It's for this that tear gathered over my sight
At the ono pair Of stockings 10 mend tonight
Twas said that far through tho forest wild,
And over the mountains bold
Was land whose rivers and darkening caves
Were gcmmod the fairest gold;
Then my first born turned from the oakcn door,
And knew the shadows were only four.
Another went forth on the foaming wave,
And diminished the baskets store
But his feet gtcw cold--so weary and cold
They'll never be warm any moro
And this nook IN It's emptiness, scemeth 70 me
To give back no voice but the moan Of the sea.
Two Others have gone toward the setting sun.
And made them a houc in its light,
And fairy fingers have taken their share,
To mend by the frcside bright;
Some other baskets their garments fill
But mine Oh mine Is empter still.
Another-the deatest--the faircst-ihe best

And clad IN n garment that waNoth not old

self, and occasionally in his anger he would
punish him severely for the most triAing
fault. In few months the animal became
irritable and balky, and at times quite un-
ruly. The farmer, who could not see how
much injury he was doing himself, continued
his brutality. The result was as might be
expected really valuable brute was spoil
ed. He became nervous and dangerous The
farmer was in despair and would have been
glad could he have fonnd purchaser for him

A neighbor of the farmer. who saw how he
had matreated the beast offered to accept
him at the owners terms, which were not
hard. Now, mark the end The new pro-
prlctor was a man of kind but firm DISPOSE
tion. He at once commenced treating the
animal as If he could be reached by reason.
The horse, experiencing a difference between
his present and former treatment, soon re-
covered his temper. He ceased to fear and
tremble at eyory one who approached him,
and, in less time than it took to spoil him,
he was brought back to his original docile
disposition. His former owner learned for
the frst time that more labor can be gotten
out Of any animal by kindness than brutality.
But whether it mended his irritable dis posi-
