AwORD 10 RICII MEN.

The recent presence among us OF dastan"
euIshcd Naturalist brings to mind subject |
upou which we we're accustomed to dwcll
before the great revulsion Of 1851: rpa1
which the experiences of SUBSEQUENT years
have rendered 1eee pertinent untn the pres
cnt Alma MNhat saan I do with my
,,onev ~, liz alwa.. question for men who
make II W1ta some, perhnps, It is thought
! sutfcic.t answer to say, will pse it to
make more. But this is really no answer at
ali, since 1t merely postpones the question.
For, whot shall ] do with that more when
have made 1t: It IL e good thing to make
money. But the making Of It is not all.
There is using as we'll as making. True,
the making itself ie often the best way Of
using. Since It is by right use that the max
ing ls accomplished; but this In each mans
life comes TO m end.
It is to be presumed that there arc in this
citya large number Of gentlemen who have
been greatly prospered in their business Of
late, to whom this question does not fail to
present Itself. They have already settled it,
that to 1ay up money indefinitely, for no OBJ
sect, is not the best mode Of spending Life,
and TINT to lay it up for family, beyond Ger
tain limits, answers no good PURPOSE A
man who has fa1nily Is Of course bound to
take care of It, His children need to be cd
ucated, and to be started In the business oi
life. The GUMS that shall be properly cx-
pended In these cudcarors, vary In amount In
different cases, indefinitely. But each
case has its limits. There are sums
beyond which It Is useless, and
worse thau useless, to spend upon children.
The moment you have piled up and given
them such q fortune as ia take from them the
necessity of personal exertion, TINT moment
you tut ,,pon them positive curse, They
had thousand times better start in life bare
handed, as Won yourself, perhaps, startea.
Every PERSONS own observation Will supply
linn Illustrations of the truth Of this remark
And If TINS 10 lay up money for ones own
fnufJy be usclcse. how much more SO to ac-
cu1nulatc wealth for nephews md distant rel
atiyca. It il not merely useless, but it is
moreover fhanklese work. Recipients of

There are WAYS to nse money, in which So
