True Prosperity.

You talk of the prosperity Of your
city. | know but one true prosperity
Does the human soul grow and prosper
here? Do not point me to your
thronged streets. l ask, who throng
them? Is it, low minded, self-seeking,
gold-worshiping, man despising crowd
which l see rushing through them ?
10 meet in them under the female
form the gaily-decked prostitute, or the
idle, wasteful, aimless woman of fash
ion? Do meet the young man, show
ing off his pretty person as the perfec-
tiOn of natures works, wasting his
golden hours in dissipation and sloth,
and bearing in his countenance the gaze
of the profiigate? Do meet a grasp
ing multitude, seeking to thrive by
concealment and fraud? An anxious
multitude, driven by fear of want to
doubtful means of gain? An unfeel-
ing multitude, caring nothing for 9TH
ers, if they may themselves prosper
and enjoy? In the neighborhood of
your comfortable and splendid dwell
ings are there abodes of squalid misery
or reckless crime, of bestial intemper-
ance or half-famished children, of pro-
faneness, dissoluteness, or temptation
for thoughtless youth? And are these
multiplying with your prosperity and
outstripping and neutralizing the influ-
ences of truth and virtue? Then youl
prosperity is vain show. Its true use
is to make better people. The glory
and happiness of a city consist not il
the number, but the character of it
population. OF all the fine arts in {
city, the grandest is the art of forming
noble specimens of humanity. Tht
costliest productions of our manufac
turers are cheap compared with wist
and good human being. A city whicl
should practically adopt the principl,
that a man is worth more than wealth
or show, would place itself at the heaC
of the cities. A city in which mel
should be trained worthy of the nam
, would become the metropolis of tn
earth.-Dr. Claiming. ~

LACoN OUT-LAOoNED.-"You bet, !"
is strong phrase in California, signi-
flying strong affirmation. The follow
ing story is told of that region: A
burglar at midnight climbed up to a
chamber window, and cautiously open
ed it. The occupant, CHANGING to be
awake, crept softly to the window, and
just as the robbers face appeared, press
ed against it the cold, smooth muzzle
of revolver, with the injunction, "you
get" "You bet" replied the robber
dropping to the ground and running
for his life. There is no more pithy
dialogue on record.

New Game for Evening Parties.
A new game called "Le t,Unot bur-
lesque," has just been introduced into
evening parties in London and Paris,
and is rapidly coming into vogue as an
infallible mirth provoEer. The jous-
ters in this novel style of tournament
always gentlemen) seat themselves on
the ground, with their knees drawn up,
their shins crossed, and their hands
clasped around the latter. A stick,
rather over yard long, is then placed
under the knees of each player, and
tied firmly in place with a handker-
chief, in such way as that knees,
stick and hands are securely fastened
together. At given signal the play
ers, divided into two squads, drag
themselves about upon the floor, each
endeavoring to upset the others by po-
king at them with his stick, and those
who are upset, or only touched, are at
once put out of the game; the ranks of
the cOmbatants are soon thinned, and
the fight is presently narrowed TO a
duel between the two most skillful of
the rival knights. 1t is difficult to i'm
agine anything more ludicrous than
the spectacle presented by twenty or
thirty of these combatants all equally
united in laying about them with their
sticks, and in avoiding or parrying the
thrusts of their adversaries; especially
when perhaps half dozen of the heaV'
lest have had the i'll luck to lose theil
balance, and founder into the most ri
diculous attitudes, in their vain at
tempts to get themselves again into 6
sitting posture. To laugh until theil
sides are sore is inevitably the lot of al
spectators of the new game, even to the
most saturnine.
