y Artificial WANrs.-Bulwer saws
that poverty is only an idea in nine cases
out Of ten. Some men with ten thou
sand doll%rs year suffer. more for want
of means than others with three hundred.
The reason is the richer man has arti-
fetal wants His income is ten, tllon-
sand, and he suffers enough from being
dunned for unpaid debts to kill a sensi-
tive man" A man who earns dollar
day aud does not run in debt. is the hap
pier man Of Two. Very few people who
have never been rich will believe, this;
ba' is as true as Gods word. There are
thousands and thousands with princely
incomes who never know a moments
peace, because they live above their
means. There is really more happiness

among those who arecalled rich. ~ ,as

Memorials Of Charles Dickens.

The Pal Mall Ga-c,tc (July III
says:
"If inanimate objects had feelings,
and could express them, what cynical
observations and roars of laughter
would often proceed from the furniture
of departed celebrities? \ great man
dies, and some dilapidated old chair,
which, if he had lived, would probably
have been cast into the dusthole, and
cartcd away with other rubbish, finds
itself suddenly converted into an arts
Gle of fabulous value. Instead of being
called chair, it is rebaptised as a
memorial an auctioneer who with
difficulty can conceal his emotion, holds
it up before an admiring audience, and,
after an exciting competition for the hon
or of possessing it, it is knocked down
for more guineas than the pence it is
worth. When we read that at the sale
of the late Mr.. Dickens property a
Chinese gong, ordinary price in a shop
Is, sold for 81 guneas, it is difficult to
understand that form of admiration
which revels in the sound of gong
because it once belonged to great man
whose fame does not require the clash
of cvmbals to preserve its memory.
"a common ink-stand,' it is said,
fetched H.! guineas, and a Dresden
salt-cellar sold for Isl guincas. lfthese
articles were bought by strangers, the
prices seem heavy to pay for the pleas
ure of pointing to them and saying:
This ink-stand,' or THAT salt-cellar
once belonged to Dickens" and hearing
forreply: did it, indeed y We can only
conclude that the fame OF their depart
ed owner has increased their intrinsic
value by some mysterious process, in
obedience to that unknown law OF ma
ture which Spiritualists alledge 10 eX,
ist and which has of late years given a
strange Importance to chairs, tables and
other articles Of domestic furniture. II
will be a sad day for great men when
their household property gains an intel
ligence it has not hitherto displayed,
and learns that the estimation in which
it is held will be greatly increased 10y
the death ofits possessor.

resolving to throw down the gauntlet OF
war, and the point gained 10y Bismarck
was his temptation to take mp the chal'
lence. France is united, Germany is
consolidated But now comes the tue
Of war" and France in the onset was
never so nearly matched before in he'
STRUGGLES with the Germans.
