The Road to Wealth.

There are those who inherit, or by some
sudden stroke of good fortune acquire
riches, but almost universally speaking,
the difference between the wealthy man
and the poor man represents the difference
between the person who saves and the
person who spends as he goes along. 1t
is not an increase of salary or an exten.
sion Of business relations that ensures q
competency, but the adhered to determin.
alton to economic, to incur no unnecessa.
ry expenditures, and to lay by something
of each weeks gains. So long as people
increase their outgoes in proportion to
the increase of their incomes, they are nc
nearer that condition of independence
which it is desirable for all to attain
The present growing fondness for ostenta,
ton and display operates as direct bar.
rier to irugality, Some one has said that
life in the United States has become o
struggle for social position that whereas
in older countries the lines of demarca.
tion are so closely drawn by blood, caste
etc, as to repress this ambition, here ev.
cry one has an opportunity to climb the
social ladder, and may aspire with conf.
dence to any round. There is much
truth in this observation, and the very
fact that it is so presents a constant temp.
tation to persons to scatter their ducats
in keeping up appearances and in making
what is vulgarly termed 'spread.
Those who ye!ld to this temptation with.
out fortune to draw upon generally ac,
quire extraxagant habits which always
keep them financially under the weather
There are others who, arguing that the
true theory of life is to "live while We
live" invariably spend close up to theil
incomes. An impecunious old age is
generally in store for such persons.
1t is in little things that the money
takes its fight. The failure to stop uT
the little leaks is what prevents financial
reservoirs from ever filing. A New.

The Ex.CoNsUL AND THE LANDLADY.-
Charles Robinson, American ex-Cousul
at Quebec, participated in public dinner
at the Memphremagog Hotel one day last
week. Mr.. Robinson is man who clear.

the Dent family, and belongs to the list
Of Honorables. No one has higher
estimation Of the honorable consuls capa.

himself. He delights in prominence.
Fullness of assurance, and fluent tongue,
seldom fails to make him conspicuous in
any company. At the dinner mentioned,
in his attempt to monopolize the CONVEX
sation, he introduced the subject of the
dinner, inquiring, with an attempt at
witticism, the age Of the goose. No one
ventured reply, when he called out to
the servant. "Mary, what is the age Of
this goose 2" Mrs. Bowman, the landlady,
then remarked to him. (which goose d.

FlTCHBURG, Nov. 25 1871.
BY invitation of the school committee the
Hon. q. f. Iloar and Prof. c. O. Thompson of
Worcester, addressed the citizens of Fitchburg,
last evening, on industrial education. In spite
of thepouriny rain a fair audience was pres
ent, We are not informed whether these gen
tcmen, like some clergymen, have on hand a
park of ordnance of superior bore and range for
wet days, but certainly their addresses were in
every way admirable, aud gave general satisfac-
ton The idea was fOrciby brought out, that
the supremacy of New England if she is TO re-
tain it in manufacturing and mechanical pur-
suits, must rest in the future, not on her natural
facilities, but on OutStlipping her competitors
in educated brain power. That brain powercan
be put INFO available shape only through the
assistance of technical schools. In this counec-
tion very suggestive fact was mentioned by
one OF the speakers. In the worlds fair at Lon
don, in 1851, out of one hundred depart
mcnts, England carried off the prizes an ninety.
In tho exposition at Paris, sixteen years later,
out Of one hundred departments, she was sue
ccSSiu in barely ten, and these among the lower
and coarscs grades Of workmanship. In this brief
period England found herself driven out of the
markets of the world and this amazing advance
ofcontineutal manufacturing and industrial skill
is conicsscdly raceable 10 the technical schools
established in France, Switzerland an,r Ger
many. One fact like this is worth a hundred
guesses and surmises. The origin of the Wor.
ccSter industrial school, and its adaptation to
meet tho urgent acknowledged necessities of
our manufactures, were perspicuously set forth.
It strikes MS that if the county is half awake to
It's own interests, if it has any disposition to
forearm itself against the certain pcrils of the
future, it will make the most out of this institu-
ton. At all events, an impulse in the right d.
rection has been given to Fitchburg. ;.
