"a wen Rounded, Happy Life" {"


If, as it is claimed happiness Is one object
of living, is it certain that large wealth
means unalloyed felicityi The possession OF
wealth is good thing. No one but fool
derides those who seek to make money leglt-
imately, but wealth, when suddenly obtained
rarely brings contentment Men must be
educated to tho enjoyment OF wealth; they
cannot acquire the art Of even spending
money iudiciously in moment, or even the
knowledge hoW to use wealth to their own
advantage Men who acquire fortune by
slow degrees ripen into knowledge Of its
proper use. Rapidly acquired fortunes bring
with them aspirations which are never salts
aed. The world Is apt to protest the demands
Of such men
You may take the blue book Of any city Of
even few years ago, and there viii be the
names of scores Of men who aoated TO the
surface upon gilded shingles who have passed
away, and their brief careers Of prosperity,
which many, no doubt, envied, have termi-
mated, perhaps, In dishonor, but more fre-
quently IN poverty, the result Of having OBJ
talned in a year that which if it had come by
degrees would have been kept for then they
would have attached proper value q their
wealth "When / spend borrowed money"
remarked a spendthrift, IL DON'T seem as II
was spending anybody's money" So it Is
with wealth. Lightly come lightly 80.
Money honestly and laboriously earned is apt
to stick, for the hand that has hardened and
the brow that has sweat in securing 1t are
powerful reminders Of its proper value. A
well rounded, happy life is not to be built up
by feverish speculation brought on by haste
to become rich; but a life reaches its fullest
perfection and acquires its greatest capability
for enjoyment when by moderate growth its
roots strike deep into the soil Of permanent
prosperity, and its branches increase slowly
till it reaches fullest legitimate maturity

A Strange story.

A writer in The London Morning Post tells
q strange tale Of 'ancient Holyrood," f" which
he says should be at once contradicted OF
confirmed. Some visitors who went through
the Queen Of Scots apartments there were
shown by the guide, who seemed to have
spoken little beyond his commission, a GER
tain passage and large jutting stone like a
step, and the following curious statement
was then let fall; Some time ago, when
some repairs were being made in the Queen
Of Scots room, a stone mason struck the
jutting out stone above mentioned, which
rang hollow. He had the curiosity to turn 1t
up, and discovered the remains Of a baby
wrapped in cloth Of gold, and marked ~"
Now, it is well known that Mary Stuart gave
birth to James Of England and the VI Of
Scotland in the adjoining room, and that
Immediately after the birth the child was
removed and brought up elsewhere, the
queen showing a small interest il her of
spring.
Now, supposing tho real child, tho real
James, is the infant wrapped in cloth Of gold,
lying under that storts, who was the other
child who afterwards reigned as James ! Of
England and VI Of Scotlandl Did this ques-
tion ever occur to the authoritiesl This will
be best answered by asking how they are
said to have treated the discovery. They
telegraphed at once to the high parsonage in
London whose business it is to control Holy
rood palace. What did hel He sent back

under the stone, and presumably there he
still lies. But the questions remain to be
answered: If that is Mary Stuart's baby, and
the rightful heir, who was that other baby
And why, when the supposed original turned
up In cloth of gold, was there no fuss tc

high time that people who go over HolyTood
should know it, let alone those whom it may

Once Too Often.

A beggar, a small boy, and pitcher fig
ured In an interesting little comedy up town.
The pitcher was standing outside Of the
third story window Of house which stood
directly opposite saloon. On the Bowery
this pitcher would be called ''growler," al
though It was beautiful design and some
what expensive
Whenever the person who occupied the
room wanted some beer the pitcher was put
out, and a small boy who keeps a bootblack-
ing stand Oh the opposite corner would see it,
and quickly 60 for it and get it filed. The
beggar had been that way before, and had
learned the relation between the small boy
and the pitcher, so he watched for its ap-
pearance one day and forestalled the small
boy He went up to the room from which
the pitcher was exhibited, told the owner
that be called for It instead Of the small
boy, and secured both the pitcher and the
dime that was In It.
The dime went into his pocket, and the
pitcher was probably resolved In to quarter
