WlNDFALLS.

To He Editor Of The Evening TeLegrdph:-
PHmADRLPHIA, April 9.-Years ago, when
lotteries were in public favor, a ticket agent,
who should have returned his unsold balance
by a stated hour, failed to reach the boat in
time; and, in consequence, was obliged to hold
the bundle on hand. The next morning
revealed to his delighted vision that little
slip of paper in that package was good for
500 People thought him in luck, and
annoyed him with attentions. Better would
it have been for him had he plunged
into the river and struck out for the Jersey
shore, where the drawing was to take place.
Had he lost his life in the attempt, it would
have been well. That unfortunate prize made
a drunkard and a beggar of him. Parents and
relations would then have cherished pleasant
remembrances of the departed. But all his
years have since been spent in dissipation,
and at any time his death would have been
hailed with joy even by the aged mother who
bore him.
The young teamster, with his monthly earn
ings of twelve dollars, was tolerably happy
man. When he fell heir to the widow Nc
Clintock's greenbacks, and an income of
four thousand dollars day, he was the shar-
per's tool. Having served for a year as
laughing-stocS for the public, he found that
fort to-day in the humble capacity of door
keeper for a minstrel show.
Such is the too frequent effect of acquiring
wealth unexpectedly. Rapid come, rapid go.
1t is easier to bear the gout without twist of
face, than to navigate becomingly under the
effects of sudden wealth. Thus it is that wind
falls are oitentimes downfalls. We seldom
learn by prudent advice, but prefer to await
the bitter lessons of experience, which too
often culminate too late to be turned to good
account. BY the time our blindness is cured,
our ability to acquire has departed; and we
are permitted but to gaze upon the beautiful,
which might have been possessed had we
listened to the wholesome warnings of others
who had travelled the road and learned its
hopeless termination. Youth, drunk with
great expectation, thinks age fool, and care
lessly wastes his golden opportunities, until
he starts from his faded dream, to find hope
lessness and despair his welded messmates
for the rest of the voyage.
Social economy should be taught in all our
schools. Better dispense with Latin and
Greek better curtail the geography or arith-
metic, than neglect the science of life. What
will our book knowledge amount to if we
learn not the art of happiness? 1t is the art
of arts. 1t is the key that unlocks the trea-
sury of wisdom. Our book knowledge will be
of little account if we make wreck of life.
1t would be considered madness personifed to
send forth the inexperienced upon voyage of
danger, to buffet the rolling billows without
chart or compass. 1t is equally so to launch
upon the uncertain sea of life the thoughtless
youth, with no warning or knowledge of its
dangers.
