READY MADE FoRTuNEs.-A modern
philosopher says that ready made for
tunes are a good deal like ready made
clothing, they seldom fit those who get
them. Fast young men generally inner
it millsites--while the most likely per-
son to fall heir to a gallery of statuary
would be some old fogy who would
much prefer the more producable con-
tents Of stonecutter's yard. Riches
are distributed with very little discrimi-
nation. To spend money properly re-
quires as much brains as to acquire it.,
and yet who ever knew of a man of brains
to have "rich UNCLE" or young man
of genius to become the residuary lega-
tee to q silver mine.

MOUNTAIN SCESERY-Mountain scenery.
Deyond all other forms and aspects of nature
generates strong local attachment. The most
intense love of country has always been
Sound in dwellers among the hills No homes
have been fought for with such earnest, self
sacrificing patriotism as wild and even bar
rcn rocky Businesses. Mountainers can be
DESTROYED in their homes more easily than
hey can be driven from their homes; and
rome feel the hardship of exile and expatrla-
ion so keenly as they. Summer tourists
re bound by the same law of straction. On
other routes of travel they seek the zeSt OF
:-ovelty, and are perpetually exploring re-
,,ions previously unvlslted; but the noun
tain journey or solourn, invites their return
or season after season, and the same steps are
.,atraced, the same haunts revisited, with an
'sterest, fascination and Il joy that never
reach their climax This is due in part, we
Doubt not to merely physical experiences.
The pure, thin, bracing air OF elevated re-
',lons, is inhaled with a conscious luxury,
-,hich seldom accompanies the process OF
breathing on the plain "r by the sea->hore
The sum of vitality is doubled, and the life
OF two days seems condensed INTO one
The undulating paths, tie alternate ascent
HnG descent, bring in turn all the muscles en-
oloyed in locomotOn into exercise, and give
chem in turn relief and relaxation, 50 that
not only does the enthusiastic pedestrian
ind his capacity enhanced, but, as we have
earned by repeated trial, the horse in whose
case the journey is a mere affair OF muscle,
cen measure day by day u greater distance
md for greater number OF successive days,
n billy country than on leve! ground.
But the transceudent charm OF mountain
cenery is its unceasng novelty. On no two
;.avs, for no two successive hours, Is the pan
j.sma the same. Sunlight, clod and va
>5r are presented in combinations that change
:, often, and are as incapable OF repeating
themselves, as the groups Of glittering objects
m the kaleidoscope. The caps, wreathS, aud
:lets of azure mists, the shadows OF moving
clouds, the prismatic hues that clothe bar
on crags with a TRANSPORTING glory ut sun
,.t, the passage of dense columns OF vapor
among the hills and over the valleys, are at
very moment as fresh a JOY to the beholder
IS if the like had never been seen before.
The midsummer day is too short, the brief
midsummer night too long, fer feast OF
beauty and grandeur, served by elemental
,pirits that know how to greet their guest
With new surprise at every moment.-N
