 Glascae is lively toun the nicht. To- day is Whitsunmonday feoing day, and the farm laborer5 (men and women) from all around arc in the toun tae fec hemsel's oot for the next hauf year. The men q wear short jackets and caps (they ca them bennct5 here1. The las- sie5 are q dressed in their Sunday claise with a styles of jackets an hats, and thoir coats kiltcd wecl aboon their ankles, showing their coarse woolen stockings and heavy shoes. They are hearty, healthy looking set, both mon and womon ("Jocks" and "Jennies they call them them here.) It's fun tao watch them gang aboot the streets in squads, cleckit taegither or arms abo0t yen anithor. They don't come tae the toon, ye ken, verra often, an when they dae they mak' a spree O it, an ha' guid time. They a get flu taegether
 
 ing and shouting dare say was never seen outside of Scotland. Another thing that makes it lively in the town is the great number of folks " Hitting" Tomorrow is the Hitting (moving) day, but great moNny are taking time by the foreock. This is the greatest place for moving you ever saw. It seems as if everybody moved every year. To- morrow it will be most as good as Barnums show to watch the" flittin's;" the loads will vary from what one man or woman can wheel on a hand barrow to all horse can draw on lorry and perhaps twill take two or three lorries Large platform trucks with four wheels) wouldn't take long to inventory the goods on one of the hand barrows. A bed with some rags or blankets small kitchen grate, a wooden chest, a table, perhaps chair and couple of stools, two or three pots and pans; what few dishes they had would be in the chest. and with their clothing wouldn't make q chest full The family belonging to these things would be a man, wife and our or five wains (children). Their house, when they got there, would bo what is called here single house; there are good many such in Glasgow. They need no bedstead, for there is a place built into the wall for the bed. When the family gets settled (and it don'ttake long) they will very likely take lodgers. for as many as six or eight adults and four or five children are known to oceu- py single house lone room)-so much for so much.

Riches and Happiness.

Riches, alone, will make no one happy. In the first place, there is no such thing as complete, unalloycd bliss, in this state of existence; and even the, nearest approach to it is not attained without something besides wealth. Of course the posse 'sion of property to any rcasOn- able extent contributes most essentially to ones enjoyment. A house for shelter, fire for warmth, food and clothiHg- ;urc- ly it cannot be reasonably contcnded that a person without all, or any ofthesc, is in a condition favorable to happiness. Diogoncs, with nothing but tub, would m ike a sorry show ill these days, how evcr he may figure as a character in clas- sic5. He wonld Le taken for the hen pcckcd husband of some washcr-woman, who had no more manly occupation than to carry about her washing utensils, and probably fun would be pokcd at him for not having a clothes wringcr along with his tub. But those who rely solely on wealth forkappincss will be disappointed grievously. Happiness depends mainly on the hs fq}a9R fHq}a 2f thG mGPd Ia and dy hSqr secret as well as openly; amid rcproach and obloquy, as well as when checredb by words of encouragement or applause. It depends on courage to sustain Us in the trials of this life, and the hope which extends to another. It depends upon the love and confidence of Kindred, and friends, and acquaintance. What wealth and property can do toward promoting happiness at the same time SnOt incOG- siderable. It. relieves Us from anxiety about the supply of our wants and the wants of those dependent upon us, or near our hearts. It supplies us with the means of in Gjlectual cult ire, as well q : of physical comfort. It has been well re- marked that money is hard master, but a good servant. As a master it cramps both body and soul, making its victim a detesta5le miser. As a servant 1t is many-handed and in ordinary affairs and extraordinary emergencies may. to a great extent, be safely relied on.-Er- ctange.
