PROSPERITY OF Foo1.s.-I have always maiil- tained that the one important phenomena pre- sented by society is-the enormous prosperity of fools. Show me an individual fool. and l will show you an aggregate society which gives that highly favored parsonage nine chances ou, of ten, and grudges the tenth to the wisest man in existence. Look where you will, in every high place ther. sits an ass, settled beyond lke reach of all the greatest intelects in this world to pull him down. Here is the perfectly hope less booby, Frank he has never done anything in his life to help himself and, as necessary consequence, society is in conspiracy to car y him to the top of the tree. He has hardly had time to throw away that chance you gave him before this letter comes and puts the ball at.his foot for the second time. My rich cousin (who is intellectually fit to be at the tail of the family, and who is therefore as matter of course, at the head fi,) has been good enough to remember my existence, and has offered his influence to serve my eldest boy. Read this letter and then observe the consequence of events. My rich cousin is booby, who thrives on landed property; he has done something for another booby who thrives on politics, who knows third boo5y who ,hrives on commerce, who can do something for fourth booby thri- wing Ut present on nothing, whose name is Frank. So goes the mill. So the creani~ of all human rewards is supped in endless success siou by the fools.- Wilkie Collins.

 One of the best things we have heard fol some time, fell under our observation day O two since. Our friend Jones wanted a serv ant girl in his family. and went to an intelli gence office and made known his wants to th' proprietor. Says Jones'
 Have you any first rate servant girls fo the kitchen l want one that can mind he own business and attend to her work" -" Oh, yes, says the proprietor, any quan tity-let me show you one."
 Jones is at once introduced to daughter o the Emerald Isle, and was greeted with An does ye want q servant ?" Yes," says Jones.
 How many hev yer in yer family?" Jones answered.
 " And hev yer hot and cold water?' Answers again.
 Low many children hey yer? and do yel makeeer girls wash Sundays? Is the church far away?'
 All these questions, with about fifty more were answered heroically by Jones, when he thought it time to tuke the laborng oar him selr.
 .s'' You look," says Jones, like a pretty nire girl, but want to ask you one question Do you play the piano?'
 "No.'
 7" "Then," says Jones, very blandly, "you won't answer my turn.'
 And away went the astonished Celt, feeling for once that she had caught Tartar.

Mir. Beechers heart stirring eloqueuce, so different from the soporifc discourses of most English ciergymen. had a wonderful effect upon John Bull :; and it even reused the cool and sober Scotch to q pitch of en.husia asm quite unknown before. The following incident from the English correspondence of the New York Tribune, shows how the popular heart was stirred by his glowing words: ss
 Very recently journeyed some distance by railway with a Scotch commercial traveller. who had heard Mir. Beeeher at sfap .hester and was enthusiastic in praising him. in the most unmistakable High Fifsshire. Eh, mon! he was j"ost gran! he said 'he gar. me tingle to the tip of my head to me taes! Ye mus ha' braw meenisters if he's fair sample os em! told him as very honestly might, that though botanist would probably classify the subject of our conversation as single. y that the American public as compared to the British one. was as living tree to dead wood; and that very few Englishmen but would admit l it, after visit to the United States.

AMERICAN Buaey IN Lospoy-Some Cb

AMERICAN BUGGY IN LoNDoN.-Some Chica goans are taking American rldps in London and a private letter to Chicago thus speaks ol the curiosity their turn out excites
 Yesterday met the American Secretary oi Legation and Doctor Dyer, of your City, ri ding out in a light American top Buggy, whicl, the Secretary has lately imported from your side of the water. It is subject of as much curiosity, as if it was chariot of fire. Men and women stop and look at it m amazement, as nothing of tue kind has been seen in these parts, as the British ride in heavy two wheeled vehicles about as cumbersome as your express wagons. The boys stop and look at the appa- rition, and break out about as follows: (. My hyes. 'Aryr. 'ere's four-wheeler for ye! Look it 'ee wheels Did you ever see such thin uns.'
