The Miseries of "A Rich Man.

The New York correspondent of the
Rochester Democrat is responsible for the
following:
AlexanderT Stewart clears one thousand
dollars per day,i Sabbathsexcepted, all the
year round. Cornelius Vanderbilt pleads
guilty to double that sum, while William B.
Astor rates his income at four thousand
three hundred and thirty dollars per diem.
Sleeping or walking, the latter gentleman
finds three dollar bill dropping into his
bat every minute of the twenty four hours.
He cannot sit down to talk with his physi-
clan without having little more wealth, if
not health; he cannot unburden his mind
Tor ten minutes without feeling the burden
increasing in his pocket; and he cannot walk
Broadway, however the weather may be,
without meeting shower of money. At
every turn cash stares him in TIE face in
the most insolent manner. Banks fling
their dividends at his head; ruthless fnan-
ciers beat him with coupons; Implying and
soulless corporations dump their filthy lucrs
at his door step, and contemptuous bill
stickers plaster his house with greenbacks.
One might inquire what the fellow has done
to merit this treatment, and the only charge
that can be brought is that he was a rich
man S son, and therefore must suffer.

Pat Saved his stamps,

A physician was sitting in his Office, M
town, when an Irishman came in and ad-
dressed him thus:
"Can ye pull tooth for me, Dochtor. -
Sure and its the devils own brother I've
got in my mouth, that's been kaping me
awake these three nights entirely"
IL think can; sit down and let me look
at it."
The tooth proved to be large double one,
and very sore. The instr uments were
brought out to commence operation, but
Pat showed evident signs of nervousness.
Och sure, you will be numbering me
quite, Docbtor.' -
ITO be sure I shall hurt you," said the
Doctor in jocular way. IF [ don't.
l won't charge you anything for pulling it"
Pat said not word, and the Doctor
went to work. The tooth was firmly set
to the jaw and stuck like Democrat to the
Constitutions; but the Doctor tugged and
pulled, and fairly lifted his patient from
his chair in the struggle, who bore it like a
martyr, making no sign" At last the
offending molar lay upon the table.
There, " said the Doctor, didn't hurt
you enough?'
Not bit SIR" said: Pat, "and sure
you're not tie man tot be going hack from
your own word"
The Doctor saw it" and Pat saved his
stamps.

Wealthy Mems Rules for Ma
king Money.

Rothchilds says: 1st, combined
three profits; made the manufacturer
my customer, and the one / bought Of
your customer; that is, supplied the
manufacturer with raw materials and
dyes, on each of which 1 made profit,
and took his manufactured goods,
which stand at profit.
2. Make bargain at once. Be an
of-hand man.
3. Never have anything to do with
an unlucky man or place. have seen
many clever men had no shoes to their
feet. never act with them; their ad-
vice sounds very well, but fate is
against them; they cannot get on them
selves; how can they do good to me?
4. BE cautious and bold. It requires
a great deal of boldness and great
deal of caution to make great fortune,
and, when you have got it, it requires
ten times as much wit to keep it.
David Richards, a wealthy member
Of the London Stock Exchange, had
what he called his own three golden
rules:
l. "Never refuse choice when you
can get it."
2. "Cut short your looses."
3. ''Let your profits run on"
John Grigg, of Philadelphia, who ef-
fected no less than the entire revolu-
ton in the Book trade of the whole
country, says, understand well your
own business. Give constant atten.
tion to it. Rely upon yourself"
John Jacob Astor is not known to
have had any fundamental rule for fa-
vorite maxim.
Nicholas Longworth says, "One
must have a steady head and strong
heart

influence ofa Newspaper.

A school teacher, who has been engaged
q long time in his profession, and witnessed
the influence Of newspaper upon the mind,
Of family Of children, writes the following:
i have fouDd it to be universal fact
without exception, that those scholars OF
both sexes and Of all ages, who have access
to newspapers at home, when compared
with those who have not, are:
j. Better read, excellent in pronunciation,
and consequently read more understanding.
ly.
2. They are better spoilers, and define
words with mere ease and accuracy.
8. They obtain particular knowledge OF
geography in almost half the time it re.
quires others, as the newspaper has made
them familiar With the location Of the i'm
portant places, nations, their government
and doings on the globe.
4. They are better grammariaDs, for hav-
ing, become so familiar with every variety Of
style in newspaper, from the commonplace
advertisement TO the finished and classical
oratien OF the statesman, they more readily
comprehend the meaning Of the text, and
analyze its construction and
accuracy.
5. They write better compositions, using
better language, containing more thought,
more clearly aod cOnnectedly expressed.
6. Those young men who have fer years
been readers of the newspaper are always
taking the lead in the debating societies,
a more extensive knowledge upon
a greater variety OF subjects, and expressing
their views with great fuency, clearness and
correctness in their use of language.

Higher.

Higher is q word ofnoble meaning
the inspiration of all good deeds-tbe,
sympathetic chain that leads, link by
link, the impassioned soul to the zenith
of its glory, and still holds it's myste-
rious objects standing and glittering
among the stars.
Higher! lisps the infant that clasps
Its mothers knees, and makes Its fee.
bic effort 10 rise from the foor--it Ia the
llrst inspiration of children to burst
the narrow confines of the cradle. in
which the sweetest moments, have pass
ed forever.
Higher laughs the proud school hoy
as he swings or as he climbs the tallest
trees of Che forest, that he may look
down on his less adventurous compan-
ions, with a dush OF exultation, and
abroad over the fields and meadows.
and his native village. He never saw
SO extended prospect before.
Higher! earnestly breathes the stu-
dent of philosophy and nature; he has
a host of rivals, but he must eclipse
them all The midnight oil burns dim,
but he finds light and knowledge in the
lamps of heaven, and his soul is never
weary when the last of them Is hid be-
hind the curtain of the morning.
And higher his voice thunders forth
when dignity of manhood has invested
his form and the multitude is listening
with delight to his oracles, burning
with eloquence, and ringing like true
steel in the cause of freedom and the
right. And when time has changed his
locks to silver and the worldwide Is
his renown, when the maiden gathering
flowers by the road side, and the boy in
the field, bow in reverence as he pass-

Higher yet! He has reached the
apex of earthly honor, yet his spirit
burns warm as in youth, though with
a paler and steadier light, and it would
even borrow wings and soar up to

AS public man, everybody knows about
Mr.. Colfax; how prominent and useful he
has been through six terms in Congress,
and how. by virtue of his experience, ability
and popularity, he has come to be speaker,
and stands before the country one of the
best and most promising statesman. He is

President Mr.. Lincoln used to tell him he
would be his successor, but his own ambi-
