Many Things Money CGsiact
Eu:.
Some boys and girls have m idea
that money can do alInDS: anything.
but this is y mistake. Money. il is
true. can do great deal, hut it can
not do everything. Icould name you
a thousand things it cannot bay. II
was meant for goo't. and it Is a good
thing to have. ba; all this depends ON
how il is used II used wronelr. il is
an injury, rather than a benefit. Be
yond all doubt, however, there are
NANNY things better than il is, and
which it cannot purchase. no nrttrr
how much we may have of it,
If man have not Il good education
all his money will never buy it for
him. lie can scarcely ever make up
for his early waste of opportunities
He may say. have heard of men say
ing: Il would give all I have if
had Only had II good education and a
well-trainel mind :" hut he will sav il
in vain. His money alone can't OBJ
tain it.
Neither will wealth it,ri' ~. a
man. or a woman. good manners.
Nothing. next 10 good morals and
good health, is OF more Importance
than easy, graceful. self-pesscssed
manners But they can't be had for
mere mcney.
A man who is what is called ''shod-
dv." who has not taste and corrcc;
manners, vii! never buy thcm-though
he would, no doubt, like to. They
are not to be had in tine market. They
are nowhere for sale. You might aS
we'll try to buy sky, or cloud, or sun
beams.
Money cant purchase good con-
science. If 4 poor man. or boy or
yirl-any one-has clear conscience.
that gives off 4 tone like sound
bell when touched by the hammer,
why, bless you. he is. vastly richer
than the millionaire who does not pos
scss such conscience. Good princi-
pies are better than gold. All tine
gold Of Golconda couldn't buy them
for man who hasn't them already.
Money i. very much sought after.
and j, can command great deaf OF
comfort. By it is very wrong ani
very incorrect to speak Of money As
The Almighty Dollsr-that is. if We
do so in real serious way. The
dollar is not Omnipotent. 1t is nigh
tv. but not almighty. There are thou
sands OF things which it canno. ac-
complish.
During the Revolutionary War Il
British officer offered large bribe to
an American General. The Genera!
looked him in the face and told 'l:'l
that his royal master in England iirt
not enough money in all his kingdom
to pay him to do the mean thing he
was wanted to do.
And there have been. and ar.. .ho l.
| sands of Snch mcn-.nen whom ur
amount of money could buy. d'l'
