Rich Without Money.

Many II man is rich without money.
Thousands of men with nothing in
their pockets, and thousands without
even pocket, are rich. A man born
with a good sound constitution, good
stomach, good heart, and good limbs,
and a pretty good headpiece, is rich.
Good bones are better than gold tough
muscles than silver and nerves that
flash fire and carry energy to every fmc-
ton are better than houses and land.
1t is better than landed estate to have
the right kind of father and mother.
Good breeds and bad breeds exist among
men as really as among herds and
horses. Education may do much to
check evil tendencies or to develop good
ones but it is great thing to inherit
the right proportion of faculties to start
with. The man is rich who has good
disposition--who is naturally kind, ia.
tient, cheerful, hopeful, and who has a
flavor of wit and fun in his composition.

Th st. Louis RepuJHcUa thus pleas
antly describes recent incident of the
fair in that city: Yesterday was a
good day for the monkeys ut the fair
grounds and they liked it. They frisked
about i'll the sunshine, and cut their
merry antics with an abandon that
showed them to be bubbling over with
the spirit of fun and mischief. There
is one of the number that by some
amusing peculiarities Of disposition and
manner becomes an immediate favorite
with every spectator, and attracts more
attention than any other. gentleman
who was among the crowd yesterday
that generally surrounds the monkey
house when the grounds are open, hap.
pened to have a small pocket mirror in
his hands, and just for sport passed it
in through the grating to the favorite.
The monkeys behavior on seeing his
face reflected in the glass was amusing
in the extreme, and kept the crowd in
roar OF laughter for nearly an hour.
The monkey, of course, failed to recog.
nize the reflection of himself in the
glass and took it for another monkey.
and his anxiety to get hold of that
monkey was what made the fun. He
would look behind the glass for it, and
feel for it in such comical way while
he was looking in the glass that one
could not help laughing. While the
glass was close to his eye he gradually
bent over, casually, and noticing that
the evanescent monkey was then on his
back apparently, he dropped the glass
and made sudden grab for him. When
he didn't get him he looked surprised,
and commenced looking under the straw
to see what had become of him. He
was then seized with a luminous idea.
He picked up the glass and ran with it
up to the topmost branch of the dead
tree that is erected in the cage, and
climbing to the extreme end gain looked
in the glass. 1t seemed as if he reasoned
that in such a position the monkey could
not elude him. He felt for it, grabbed
at it, and tried all sorts of similar
strategy to capture it, and notwithstand-
ing his repeated failures, seemed 10th to
give it I'D.
