WHAT MAKES WEALTH a-The Rev. DR..
Hitchcock says: Suppose no muscle is put
into the land, no sweat moistens it; it goes
back into its original wildness, aud that which
formerly supported one hundred civilized
men, affords support for one savage. The
value which land possesses has been develop
by labor. Have you considered how short
lived value is? Crops last no more than one
year. Railways, so soon as you stop work
upon them, go to pieces rapidly and cease to
be valuable. Houses have to be made over
constantly. St. Peters Church at Rome, one
of the most solid of structures, is repaired an
nually at cost of 100000. A great part of
the wealth of the world is only twelve months
old when mon stop working it passes away.
Suppose you earn $1.25 day and spend the
same at the end of the year you arc not bet
ter off than at the beginning. You have only
lived. Suppose you spend 81, or better still
S5 cents then you have become capitalist.
Capital is wages saved, and every man can be-
come capitalist. l began to preach ON five
hundred dollars year I've been there and
know what it is. My rule was then, and has
been ever since, to live within my income !;
SO it would have been, no matter what my
business. Spend less than you earn then
you will acquire capital, and your capital will
be as good as that of Peter Cooper or any

MISCELLANY.

DwARFs.-Old writers were fond of relating
instances of court dwarfs, when taken into
the kings council, cutting out all the king S.
advisers by their shrewd observations and in
genious suggestions. AS an example of their
combativeness, we recolect hearing how some
dwarfs in showman's caravan asserted their
mental superiority over the good-natured
simple giants in such manner that the poor,
bullied monsters actually stood in awe of their
fiery little travelling companions. 81 have
seen some men of very small stature" says an
old writer. sOf this number was John de
Estrix, of Mechlen, who was thirty-fve years
of age, had long beard, and was no more
than three feet high. He could not go up
stairs or climb up form, but had to be as
sisted by servant He was skilled in three
tongues, and proved himself ingenious and
INDUSTRIOUS Almost as interesting mani
kin was Jeffrey Hudson, who, at feast given
by the Duke of Buckingham, started up in
complete armor from a cold pie on its being
cut open. How also, at court masque, Ev-
ans, the kings gigantic porter, pulled out
of one pocket long Leaf and little Jeffrey,
instead of piece of cheese, out of the other,
is well-known, and will recall somewhat SINH
lar incidents mentioned by Ainsworth in one
of his historical novels. 1t was this pigmy's
capture by Flemish pirate that was cele-
brated in poem by Sir William Davenant.-
Gibson, page to Charles I, was another Gu
rious specimen of diminutiye humanity. That
must have been an interesting wedding for
the spectators, when, at the dwarf marriage
the queen gave away Anne Shepherd, bride,
as small as Gibson himself. The five of their
nine children who arrived at maturity were 0 +
the usual stature.
