SMALL MEANs.-We think that the
power of money is, on the whole, overesti-
mated. The greatest things which were
done for the world have not been accom-
plished by rich men or by subscription lists,
but by men generally Of small pecuniary
means. The greatest thinkers, discoveries,
inventors and artists have been men of
moderate wealth, many of them little raised
above the conditions Of manual laborers in
a point of worldly circumstances. And it
will always be so. Riches are oftener an
impeachment than stimulus of action; and
in many cases they are quite as much a
misfortune as blessing. The youth who
inherits wealth is apt to have life made too
easy for him, and so grows stated with it
because he has nothing to desire. Having
no special object to struggle for, he finds
time too heavy on his hands; remains men
tally and morally asleep; and his position in
society is often no higher than that of a
polypus over which the tide floats.

plundered by French soldiers, a great many

changed are the times Formerly they used

similar changein the treatment of criminals

the jury.

GOODBYE, PROUD WORLD.
ny RALPH WALDO EMERSON.

Goodbye proud world. I'm going home
Thou art not my friend am not thine;
Too long through weary crowds roam-
A river ark on the ocean brine:
Too long am tossed like the driven foam
But now, proud world, I'm going home
Goodbye to Flattery's fawning face.
To Grandeur with his wild grimmaee;
To upstart Wealth's averted eye.
To supple office, low and high
To crowded halls, to court and street,
To frozen hearts and hasting feet;
To those who go and those who come.
Goodbye, proud world, I'm going home.
20 10 seek my own hearthstone,
Bosomed in yon green hills alone
A secret lodge in pleasant land,
Whose groves the frolie fairies planned.
Where arches green the livelong day
Echo the blackbird's roundeiay.
And evil men have never trOd,
A spot that is sacred to thought and God.
Oh, when am safe in my sylvan home,
knock at the pride Of Greece and Rome:
And when am stretched beneath the pines,
Where the evening star so holy shines.
] laugh at tee lore and pride Of man.
Al the sophist schools, and the learned clan;
For what are they all in their high eonceit.
When man in the bush with God may meet
