The LOVE oE WEALTH.

We have scriptural authority for the
aphorlstic expression, that the love OF
money is the root of all evil, and some
very notable instances of great evils re-
sulting from following the impulses
aroused by tho passion referred to. For
instance, England, in her Egyptian
wars, has been actuated by the desire to
to aggrandize, and the pending difficult.
ties between that kingdom and Russia
are traceable to the same generating
cause. Indeed, there are but few wars
recorded in history that are either
purely sentimental or fought out on
principle. The war of the crusad es
may be classed among the most con.
spicuous of the exceptions, but If we
investigate it will be discovered that
the enthusiasm which sent such shoals
of Christians into the field was very
much heightened by the cupidity
aroused in the breast of warriors, who
desired to plumber tho rich mosques OF
the iniidels and revel In their oriental
luxury. Even our revolutionary war
was brought about by money considera-
tions, and desire to avoid the payment
of taxes in great measure. In all
England's wars, scarcely without ex-
ception, the desire of territory has been
the prompting spirit that impellod her.
Even ia her defensive wars, she has
fought TO protect some of her possess
sions The same remark will hold
true Of nearly all nations who have ac.
qulred empire. Rome was grasping,
avarleious and INSCRIPTIONS. ALEXAN-
DER wanted to possess tho v orld by
conquest. CHARLEMAGNE, CHARLES V,
and NApoLEAN with scores of other his
torical heads of nations fought for terri
torial possessions which to them Is
what coin is 10 individual man.
The present complication between
England and Russia arises from the
same morbid desire for extended bound.
cries. With four hundred more miles
of coast, Russia's merchant marine can
be doubled and the possession of AZ
ghanisthn and Bolochlstan would So
cure that coast. The fact Is Russia is
still young giant, increasing In every
attribute Of human power. She can no
longer be restrained, aud in spite Of her
seeming embarrassed condition will
burst ell bonds and spread with brist-
ling legions to the seas. Tho prophecy
of tho great NAPOLEON as to her great
ness is on the eve of fulflment. She
wants more and viii make great efforts
to expand. England fears her rivalry.
She may, and doubtless VIII lose, by
the Increase of Russian commerce,
hence the determination to stop her In
the present gradual but steady march to
tho seas. Russia wants to increase hor
wealth by commences; England desires
to save hers and prevent division with a
rival both are bent on tho same pur-
pose and that is selt-aggrandizement.
