Growth in Wealth.

The United States must soon take rank
as the wealthiest nation in the world. It
falls behind only England and France in
its present valuation, and ats average an
nual increase of wealth Is greater than
that of both these nations combined.
1t is estimated at $3.50. 900, 600. This.
it an enormous gain, more than the en-
tire productive industry OF Spain, or
Italy, or Russia. The resources of our
country, both agricultural and mineral,
surpass those of any other country the
inventive genius of tlse people is greater,
and their industry is more constant and
universal.
The standing armies of Europe i'm
poverish the nations. Their direct cost
is immense, but their indirect cost is
greater. For 100000 or 300,0 600 of the
best laborers are turned from producers
into consumers. Their labor ought to
produce an average value per man of
$500 year. An army of 300, 900 men
occasions, therefore, loss in productive
industry of $3.50, 600, 900 per year.
The comparative net gain to the Unit
ed States, by the absence of standing
army, must be at least $500, 900, 900 per
year. Such saving enables us to out
strip all other nations in the increase Of
wealth.

1T is said that an eminent Chinese
functionary. after visiting the great
schools of England, was invited to give
his opinion about the comparative merits
of the British and Chinese systems of
education. This he did in the statement
that, while the English greatly excelled
in mental training and tho variety OF
knowledge impaired, the superiority in
moral instruction certainly rested with
the Chinese. His statement reminds one

Guard Against Vulgar Language.

There lis us much connection
between tho words and thoughts
as there is between the thoughts
and the words. The latter are
not only the expressions of the
former, but thoy have the power
to react upon tho soul and leave
the stain of their corruption there.
A young man who allows himself
to use one vulgar and profane
word has not only shown that
there is a foul spot upon his mind,
but 10y the utterance Of that word
ne extends that spot and inAames
it, till, by indulgence, it will pol
lutte and ruin the soul. Be care
tul of your words as we'll as your
thoughts. IF you can control
the tongue SO that 10 improper
words are pronounced by it, you
will soon be able, also, to control
tho mind and save that from cor
ruption. You extinguish the fire
by smothering it or by preventing
bad thoughts bursting out in Ian
guage. Never utter a word any
where which you would be
ashamed to speak i'll the presence
of the most refined female or the
most religious man. Try the
practice a little while and you
will soon have command Of your

Follow the Right.

No matter who you are, what
your lot or where you live, you
cannot afford to do that which is
wrong. The only way to obtain
happiness and pleasure for your
self is to do tho right thing. You
may not always hit the mark, but
you should, nevertheless aim for
it and with every trial your skill
will increase. Whether you are
to be praised or blamed for it by
other; whether it will seemingly
make you richer or poorer, or
whether no other person than
yourself knows Of your acting,
still, always and in all cases, do tho
right thing. Your first lessons in
this rule will sometimes seem hard
ones, but they will grow easier
and easier, until finally doing the
right thing will become u habit
and doing a wrong will seem an
impossibility.
