What Becomes of Wealth.

A boot aud shoe dealer has hanging in
his store pair of boots worth 81. They
constitute portion OF his wealth, and a
man buys them and begins to wear them,
by friction against pavements, little parti-
cles of leather are rubbed off, and thus
separated from the reseof the sole. Every
particle that is thus removed takes out a
portion of the value of the pair OF boots,
and when the boots are entirely worn out,
the seven dollars of wealth which they
formed is consumed. The wheat, corn, &c,
which was raised by our farmers last sum-
mer, is being eaten up. No particle of mat
ter is destroyed by this process, but the val
ne which was in it was destroyed
As, while men are wearing out clothing
and eating up food, they are generally bus
lily employed in producing wealth of some
kind, the wealth OF the world is not usually
diminished by this consumption, but is
changed This applies, however, only TO per
sonai property; town lots and farms gene.
rally retain their value, but the personal
property is in state o. perpetual dcstroc-
ton and renewal. As the several particles
of water which constitute a river are forev-
err rolling away 10 the ocean, while the
places are being supplied from the springs
and fountains, so the movable wealth OF
the world is constantly being consumed to
supply human wants, and constantly being
renewed by the restless activity OF human

EXPLOSIVE KrRosrSr.-ssver.

EXPLOSIVE MISUNDERSTANDING recent
explosions OF kerosene, or coal oil. have
caused considerable alarm in the eommpn;-
~. This oil has come into very extensive
use in families, and is generally popular as
atiordiag cheap and excellent light
IL has been considered perfectly safe here
iotore, and the consumers will regret to be
co npelled to change this conviction and
give up its use. 1t has been asserted tha,
the explosions were caused by the adulter-
ation OF the article by camphene or oil Of
tnrpentine, but there is no proof of this
and it is hardly credible that manufacturers
and dealers would be capable Of an alul-
teralion 80 dangerous and al the same time
so certain TO drive the article out of use
and ruin their own business. The true
solution, we have no doubt, is that suscest-
ed by DIR. jackson, the state assayer. that
the Kerosene which explodes is carelessly
manufactured, the naptha. which is bishly
volatile and explosive, and which is found
in all coal oils in their natural state. NOT he.

which contained quantities of nep,ha. AMI

tie or none To that which has been properl,

iniallible test is to place vial partly fillet
