Love Of Money.

10 all all the evil prOpenSltieS 10
which human nature is subject,
there is no one so general, so insin-
uating,so corruptive, and so obsti-
nate, as the love of money. 1t be-

tinues to the end OF life. One of
The first lessons which children
learn and one which old men never
forget, is the value of money. The
covetous seek and guard it for its
own sake, and the prodigal him.
self must first be avaricious, before
he can be protuse. This, of all our
passions. is best able to fortify it
self by reason, and is the last to
yield to the force of reason. Philo-
sophy combats, satire exposes, re-
ligion condemns it in vain; it yields
neither to argument, nor ridicule
nor conscience.
Many man there is, clothed in
respectatility, and proud of his
honor, whose central idea of life is
interest and ease-the conception
that other men are merely tools to
be used as will best serve him; that
God has endowed him with sinew
aud brain merely to scramble and
to get; and so, in the miist of this
grand universe, which is a perpet-
ual circulation of benefit, he lives
like a sponge on a rock, to absorb,
and bloat and die. Thousands In
the great city are living so, who
never look out Of the narrow circle
of self-interest; whose decalogue is
their arithmetic; whose Bible is
their ledger; who have so contract
ed, and hardened, and stamped theil
natures, that in any spiritual es,i-
mate they would only pass as so
many bags of dollars.
1t is indispensable in some cases
that men should have money, fo

"Ah, my dear" interposed her

Coughs.

Coughs
"Brown's bronchial IrOches" are used with
advantage to alleviate Coughs, Sore Throat,
HOarseness and Bronchial Affections. For
thirty years these TrOches have been In use,
with annually increasing favor. They are not
new and untried, but, having been tested by
wide and constant use for nearly an entire
generation, they have attained well-merited
rank among the few staple remedies of the age.
Tho Throat.
.'Bro,cn's bronchial Iroches" act directly
Oh tho organs of the voice. They have an ex-
traordinary effect In all disorders Of the Throat
and Larynx, restoring a healthy tone when re-
Ia xet, either from cold or over-exertfOn of the
voice, and produce clear and distinct enunci-
alton. Speakers and Singers find the Troches
useful.

ANOTHER SCARE.
The East Reservoir Reported Leaking.

The East Reservoir Reported Leaking.
At noon to-day there was \ report that
there was leak in the sOnth wall of the
east reservoir. Mayor MacGOniSlc and
the water committer at once visited the
reservoir and found that for distance of
several feet along the south wall tho brick
lining of the basin had sunk several inches
and the foot-walk ON top of the reservoir
bank showed signs Of the moisture be-
meath it. 1t was deemed best to lower the
water in the basin a foot or two
at once and ascertain if the leak is near the
surface. There is no sign that the water
has made or will make its way through tho
bank, but the superintendent believes the
proper thing to do would be to concrete
the south wall in the same way the bot
tom and north wall Of the basin were re-
Gently improved. 1t will he remembered
that when the recent repairs were made
the south wall was not touche dit being
believed to bc water tight.
