The wretcbedness Of Riehe,.

What! Who are happy If not the
rich :? says some poor. worker as he
rests his toil-worn frame. What. hap
piness would it be to feel that to-mor-
rows bread is not dependent upon to-
morrow's labor. With all my energy
my family's needs arenot half supplied.
Each weeks earnings are fully appro-
priated before they are paid. The
wretchedness of riches! Let others
say that, not me. ,-.. '
Suppose we see, poor man, for what
your poverty should make you CRATE
full. Count number one-you can nev-
er be suspicious of your children feel
ing that they are wishing you out of
the way that they may enjoy your
money. But I could never feel that,
says the poor man. You do notknow,
you cannot unless you have had mon
ey and found how it metamorphoses
character, changing Indifference into
distrust, a life of tranquility into one
of unrest. Count number two-you
cannot as a poor man feel that "peo-
pie" are always accounting you stingy
if you do not give to every 'cause" as if
that were the only demand made upon
you by the "dear public" No one
likes to be reckoned stingy, yet the
rich man is always open to the charge,
deservedly or undeservedly. Count
number three-your children can nev-
er grow suspicious of each other, COM
ing at last, it may be, to hate each 9th
er, lest each should share more largely
in your money favors than the other
they cannot do this if you have naught
to give them, nor can they quarrel, af-
ter oour longed-for death over the car
cass left for their picking. Each will
have his own good reason for thinking
you unjust to him. Son William will
say, I was never any expense to my
father, therefore I should receive a
Benjamin's share; son Thomas will
think as he has labored at home and
helped to save, to make, he should be
generously dealt with; while the
daughters will be of one mind in be.
lieving that their sex should entitle
them to special privileges.
But, says the poor man, these are
mere vagaries-money need produce no
such unhappiness. Perhaps these re-
suits are not necessary, but they are
usual. The man of money grows sus-
picious of everybody, even wife and
children. The only use they have for
me, says he to himself, is to supply
their wants. The children reflect the
feeling father thinks I want his mon
ey, I'll take special pains to displease
him-he shall not have occasion to i'm
agine I am conciliating his good will
for pecuniary benefits, and straight
way there follows course of conduct
over which angels we'll might weep,
opposition, antagonism exaggerated,
magnified.
Now, poor man, do you still think
you have naught to be grateful for?
Is not your poverty blessing? Is it
not a common bond of sympathy in
your family?-you have naught of
money or estate to leave your children,
they in turn can expect naught.
There can never be any sense Of in
justice or unkindness on the part of
either yourself or them from that pro-
life source of evil, money.

hardly TO be expected after the stories
of hostility to the English said to

the present German empress. We must
believe either that these stories were grossly
exaggerated or that the tide Of popular senti-

arrival. We doubt If any foreign sovereign
WAS ever received with profounder consid-
ration by the German. people. This arose
partly, no doubt, from the devotion of the
Gcrmans to their own emperor, who is
80 closely allied to the queen, and partly
because of the grief by which their hearts
