vide for his own necessities. He is depend.
eut upon others, aud others are dependent
upon him. But BY devoting himself to
single department Of industry, be can manu-
facture products for himself and many 9th.
ers. His neighbors can do the same, each
in his own department, and by exchange the
desires Of all are grati6ed.
This fact has created the science Of
wealth, which has become subject Of great
interest and importance to every civilized
human being. This importance increases
with the advancement Of civilization. In a
state of barbarian, there are but few pro.
ducts, and hence but limited amount Of
exchange. Elevate society by education and
refinement, and its wants are greatly in.
creased, aud knowledge of this subject
becomes indispensable.
Now let us inquire what wealth is. Is
it confined to material products2 Or does
it include the skill of the artisan, and the
services of professional men? Some suppose
wealth to be anything material, or imma'
terial, which has value and will be accepted
in exchange. Hence, anything has wealth
which contributes to our desires and wants
and its value is measured by the strength o
the desire to be gratifed. What is worth
less to one person is wealth to another, sim
ply because one is gratiied by that whicl
affords the other no pleasure. If man had N
desires or wants, he could possess no wealth
But real wealth grati6es only our bette
desires, and promotes our real good. W
may desire the means Of subsistence an
comfort, and what secures these, is wealth t
US. Every one should desire intellectual
social and moral improvement, and henc
good instruction, good book, good lectur

Beyond the necessities and simple comfor

Getting young men drunk on Sunday
seems to be a crime deserving of very
severe penalty, under the license law. But
if it be Monday or any other of the six days
of the week it is not only no crime, but is
sanctioned by that same law And this IS
a law recently enacted in the enlightened
commonwealth of Massachusetts II it is
wrong to deal ont "liquid death" to young
men on Sunday, why not on Monday, as well,

hibitiOn is proper and important on Sunday
is it not just as proper and important on

The Science of Wealth, No. 2.

The science of wealth is founded upon the
principle of sel6shness 1t takes for granted
that men will always appropriate their labor
and products to their own advantage. The
science of morals is founded upon obliga-
ton the science Of wealth, upon value. The
one settles all questions on the ground of
right alone; the other on the ground Of
economy. The science of wealth favors
morality, just so far as morality favors pro.
duction. Either prescribes rules Of duty in
our intercourse with others the science Of
wealth prescrbes the rules of action in seek
ing our own good. Economy does not object
to strict honesty, but it does not claim to
conduct business on JeAscOlent principles.
What we mean to say here is, that the
two sciences are entirely distinct from each
other. And still they completely harmo-
nize, when viewed from the right standpoint.
Honesty is maintained by the one, and pol
icy by the other; aud as "honesty is the
best policy" so morals and economy como TO
work together for the good Of mankind.
The science of wealth is social science
If man lived alone, or had the power to sat
isfy all his own wants by his own industry
without exchange, the idea of value could
have no existence, aud hence there could be
no science of value.
But maA is social being, and has nc

The Texas Cattle Fever.


Our agricultural editor, at the request of
prominent citizens OF Brattleboro and v;c;n.

Eight animals have died. All now al

still Of the opinion that diseased or suspected
animals should be secluded until after the
occurrence Of heavy frosts Precautionary
measures will do no harm. Should the dis.
ease assume a new aud unexpected form, the
results might be serious. The appearance of
the flesh of animals slaughtered after the
attack does not indicate the presence Of the

the carcass Of an OK which hung in their

that certain symptoms which they noticed in

prompt application of remedies within the
first day or two after the attack will save all
cases. The most obvious symptoms are ex-
IRENE constipation, bloody urine, fever, with
some heat about the head, lauguor aud loss
of appetite. Further Investigation into the
disease, treatment, manner OF communication
and means Of prevention is very desirable

"The colleges Of Yale and Harvard" the
New York Herald is informed. shave resolved
that hereafter they will not take part in the
annual boating contest which has recently
been an event Of so much interest to the
country at large.
This is very sensible thing to be done by
Yale aud Harvard, and if the eleven remain
ing colleges in the last regatta at Saratoga,
should resolve to do the same, it would be
eminently wise, under the circumstances.
The boating contest which has been an event
of so much interest to the sporting men Of
the country at large, has become 80 identified
with horse-racing, spool" selling and other
forms of gambling that the colleges which
continue to tolerate regattas, must become
identified with the turf and Morrissey's club

he went to Concord in a carriage, but has
not been there since, until now. He has
