THE MIsERIEs OF A Rich MAN.
The New York Democrat is responsible
for the following -.,.. III.
Alexander T, Stewart clears one thous-
and dollars per day, Sabbaths excepted,
all the year round. Cornelius Wander
biDt pleads guilty to double that sum,
while William B. Astor rates his income
at four thousand three hundred and fifty
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 physician with
out having little more wealth, If not
health he cannot uaburden his mind for
ten minutes without feeling the burden
10 his pocket, and be cannot,
walk Broadway, however the weather
may be, without meeting shower Of
money. AT every turn cash stares him
in the face 10 the most insoleut manner.
Banks fling their dividends at his head
ruthless financiers beat him with coupons
and souless corporations dump
heir filthy lucre at his door step, and
bill stickers plaster his
house with greenbacks. O1e might in
luire what the fellow has done to merit
his treatment, and the only charge that
,an be brought is that he was rich
mans son, and therefore must suffer.

A Spaniard and German held de-
bate over the relative smartness of tht
different nations of the world.
81 said the Spaniard, 'can take an ege
from under sitting bird without dis
turbing her,
DO that said the German, 'and
will show you what l can do
So they went into the wood and search
ed till they had found tree with birds
nest near the top of it. The Spaniard
took off bis sword, and belt, and spurs,
his rustling silk mantle, and his cap and
plumes, laid them noiselessly at the foot
of the tree and began to mount. While
he was intent on getting at the nest, the
German walked off with the Spaniard's
arms and cap, and cloak, and feathers.
II was decreed, therefore, that the
German was the smarter fellow.

An AFFECTIoNATE SoN.-Old Billy
Taylor, whose good stories and witty say
ings will long be remembered by bis ac-
quantance, used to relate the following
When was young, just admitted to
the bar, l was appointed by the court to
defend man who had been indicted for
the murder Of bis mother. Determined
to make out Of the matter as much repu-
tation for himself as the case would ad-
nit of, | took the accused aside and told
him it was necessary for me, as bis coun-
sci, to know the whole truth in reference
to the charge against him. After assur>
ing him that what be might say to me
could not be used against himself, | put
the plain question
Did you kill your mother! !!
Yes was the reply.
What made you do itT
Because said he, she was not worth
wintering?

The (LiverpooD European Times,
speaking of the modest bearing Of our
two greatest generals, says:
Grant, in the pride of his reserve,
bears striking resemblance to our own
Duke of Wellington. viii the Ameri-
cans reward and honor the most successful
soldier their continent has produced since
the time of Washington with any ap>
proach to the distinctions and the sub
stantial wealth which we showered upon
the Hero of Waterloo, and, il taey are
so disposed, will be accept them? A pure
republican simplicity, worthy Of the best
days of ancient Rome, appears to be a
characteristic of this great man, and il
may be doubted whether he would not,
like another Cineinnatus, prefer TO follow
his plow or his tanning again"

The Scotch Kirk in convocaton has
decided, by handsome majority, that no
musical instrument must be used in a
kirk-that people must stand, and not
kneel, in prayer-that there shall be no
form of prayer, and no communion out
of the kirk, but organs are being intro~
duced into several places of worship, not
wthstandng. 1t is not much more than
a century ago when the 'greater excom-
muncation" was Illuminated against par
ties in Scotland who used barn tanners,
which were characterized by the kirk
and its courts as devils wind" but they
were used, nevertheless, and the same
determination exists that the noblest ef-
forts of nature and art shall be employed
in the churches in sounding the praise of
the Author of all harmony.

ROUGH on THE RATs.-A CORES
pondent proposes a new way to kill rats.
His own house being overrun with the
vermin a servant girl who had seen the
effect of 'old Bourbon wbiskey' on bipeds,
thought she would try an experiment on
the rats. Accordingly she took a small
quantity, made i. very sweet with sugar,
crumbed in bread enough for the crowd,
and set the dish in the cellar. A few
hours after she went down and found sew
eral rats gloriously 'fuddled' engaged in
throwing potato -parings aud hauling one
another up to drink. These were easily
of; those not killed left the
premises Immediately, suffering with a
severe headache.
