A couple Of Galvestonians, who have

tell pleasant little incident Of the trip
near Richmond. They went up TO the

said TO the sturdy old granger:
'sWe had good deal Of trouble get

American Incomes.

There is no table of the average dura-
tlon Of fortunes but the statistics Of
business failures in the country since
lS66 show that the average gcdriy fnil-
ures ranged from in 1863 iii the year
1871 to ] in rs III 1876 How many huei-
ness men In Thousand fail, once or
more, during their business lifetime, /
cannot learn. Tho proportion used to
be estimated for New England 1T ~ per
cent. That is probably too high fig
ure for the business Of to-day, conducts
cd, as it is, upon much shorter credits
than formerly. But the proportion of
traders who fail is probably not lower
than 10 per cent. Of the whole number.
How many OF our people live upon
their invested means In 1866 our in
come-tax returns showed I'll 900 in
comes Of $500 per year and over, and
5000, 900 incomes Of less than $500. But
these were not incomes from capital 1;
they were mostly earnings or wages.
Probably not one III hundred OF these
smallerincomes, andnot over 10 per cent.
OF the incomes over $500, represented
the interest upon Investments. In
France, ten years later, the census re-
turned no less than 100000 people,
rc1atiers, who live entirely upon their
invested means. In 1877 7,560,000 Of
people, one-fifth of the population, were
enrolled MS rentes-holders or savings
banks depositors but ii must be added
TINT the savings banks do not often fnil
IN France, and that sooner or later they
are apt TO fail with us. Most OF these
deposits are small ones. But no less

1t Is little enough, but il will do for

Thus, in spite Of the resources Of the
country, in spite Of the almost universal
search for wealth, and in spite Of the
fact that we have great many rich
men at any given time, we still do
not have large class Of permanently
rich men we do not even have, like the
French, large class Of persons who
have permanent though small com
petence. The rich Americans wealth
is extremely volatile in nine cases out
Of ten it is fairy gold" The old
landowners form the chief exception
to the rule; /; especially in our large cit
les, where tho increase Of values has
been great.
But if our class of permanently
wealthy people is small, 50 also is our
class Of destitute people. We are fortu-
nate in having no such immense and
harmful inequality Of fortunes as we SEQ
in modern England. Our i'll fortune is
this, that our class Of moderate compe-
tences is also small, that 80 few Of us,
in spite Of our opportunities and our la
bors, have seized the good Of even a
small assured competence. The land is
full Of people who have not, on the other
hand, and who are not likely TO have,
any assured competence, however
moderate, but who have nothing to ex-
pect but labor to the end. This is, in
deed, the appointed human lot for the
majority in any community but need it
be, in a country of resources like this,
SO nearly the universal lot? Might not
many Of us avoid it by a greater care for
a moderate competence, lessened am
bition for fortunes ?-E. M. Coon, IN

Bathing After Meals.

Two cases, reported by DIR. Naegli in
the ,Sici8s MedfcGi journal, illustrate
The truth Of the prevalent belief that it
Is dangerous 10 60 in bathing when the
stomach is full. The cases were alike
in their history. One was that Of hoy
Of IA, who ate a hearty meal and then
went in the water for bath. When
swimming along with comrade he sud-
denly gave cry and sank under the
water. He was speedily brought out on
shore, and the usual means Of resuscita-
ton were employed. These utterly
failed, however Fearing some ohstruc-
tion, the boys trahcea was opened, and
pieces Of food were found in IL. These
were removed in part but it was not
sufficient, and the boy died. The other
case had similar history. At the post
mortem portion of the contents of the
stomach were found in the trachea ane
bronchi.

Msndicancy is forbidden in Paris and

We recall days Of innocent pleasure
Which linger in memory's thrall;
But sorrow too so5n fills the measure,
And covers the past with pail.
For friendship is but transient glndness,
And lie is too short Tor its bliss,
So soon Is it broken by sadness
For happiest ties that we miss.
We only can watch through each season,
Forgetful OF sorrows and tears,
Misglylng, not knowing the reason
Why sorrow should compass our years.
We bow in our humble submission,
For solace look huck through the years
When we waited for joyful ffuhon
OF hopes now more batter than tears.
We forget that our life has It's beauty,
Its pleasures as well as its pain;
Why then should we turn from our duty
To indulge in this bitter refrain?
Our hearts full Of hopeful emotion
The riches Of hopes that are dead
BY the masic Of memoryis potion
Shall recall sweetest thoughts Of the dead.
