A Manchester England calico printer
was, on his wedding day, asked 10y his wife
to allow her two half-pints Of ale a day as
her share of the extra comforts. He made
the bargain, but not cheerfully for though
Il drinker himself lfancying, no doubt, that
he could not do well without he would
have preferred a perfectly sober wife They
both worked hard John loved his wife,
but he could not break away from his old
associates at the alehouse and, when not
in the factory or at his meals, he was with
his boon companions. His wife made the
small allowance meet the housekeeping ex
penses, keeping her cottage neat and tidy;
and he could not complain that she insisted
upon her daily pint of ale, while he very
likely drank two or three quarts. They
had been married year, and the morning
Of the wedding anniversary John looked
with real pride upon the neat and comely
person Of his wife and, with touch of re
morse in his look and tone, lie said,
Mary, we've had no vacation since we
were wed, and, only that haven't II pen-

Friend though thy soul should burn thee, yet be

Changes his thoughts for better day by day;

An ambitious young author not long since
wrote to John Burroughs asking his ideas
of the best methods of life and work for II
literary man Mr., Burroughs reply was
characteristic, "Go TO bed at O'Clock get
up at in summer and in winter spend
half of each day in the open air avoid tea
and coffee, tobacco and all drinks that slim

diet, and always aim 10 have something to
do which you can do with zest, Stagnation
is the parent of i'll health the currents, both
mental emotional and physiological, must
be kept going. The mild excitement of a
congenial talk, of conversation with friends,
of brisk walk on a clear day, row ON the

sanitary and promote health"

wealth No, Away. u Rle--inS.

II is generally the case that great riches
can only he gathered 10y outrnging the prin
| ciple Of brotherly love. Often it comes
| through gross injustice To- others The strife
to amass vast wealth is a travesty upon the
religion taught 10y Christ and still upheld in
| his name. Where the leading men uf a
community are frenzied with money max
ing there may he hourshng institutions,
| rich churches and ostentatiuus dwellings,
but there is dearth Of the higher qualities.
The race is still 81 undeyeloped that the
tendency of wealth is to produce men de
caying with eileminacy, vice and avarce,
and women indolent, naughty and shallow
Society withers at its roots.
Is this an extreme statement 1t is sup
ported by history and observation Mrs
Jane Hume Clapperton says of the English
nation Luxury and couventionaism
have eaten out the heart of social inter
course and left it hollow. They have utter
ly destroyed the charm, the tender grace.
the warmth Of English society' Ameri
cans seem anxious to outdo the English in
these respects, forgetting that the energy
given to the acquisition Of money might
promote every noble ambition; and who will
| deny that man-making is better than
money-making
The effect on women is to produce varia-
tions of Becky Sharp among the morally
undeveloped they can only be good on ten
thousand year. Homes full of sweet aud
simple beauty are looked upon with CON
tempt. In the strife to get uppermost, in
the words of Howells, nearly all struggle
to be distinguished from the mass and to he
set apart in select circles and upper classes
like people we have read about They for
get that poverty Of the soul can never be
disguised by pomp Of show. 1t is the drest
pauperism to have only fed on the roses
and lain ON the lilies Of life and, in the
words of Thoreau, to belong to that seem
ingly wealthy but really most impoverished
class of all, who have accumulated dross
and know not how to use it, and thus forge
their own golden fetters.'
Some wealthy men, like George Peabody,
Ezra Cornell Peter Cooper and Samuel
Morley of London, have risen to a proper
appreciation of the uses of money TO 9TH
ers it is curse. The luxury which it in
duces corrupts and weakens 1t produces
materialism and sensuality it enervates
instead of elevating. The Incidence which
is the result of wealth proves the wisdom
underlying the Turkish proyerb v hich says
The devil tempts the busy man, but the
idle man tempts the devil.

Perhaps | may now be permitted to re
capitulate the list of dozen English poets
whom | ventured to quote as the manifest
immortals of our British Parnassus. They
are Chaucer, Spenser, Shakspere, Milton,
Dryden Pope, Gray, Burns, Wordsworth
Coleridge, Byron, Shelley. Keats 1t will
be noticed that there are l3 names here,
and my reviewers have not failed to remind
me that it is notoriously difficult to count
the stars. The fact is that Gray, the real
thirteenth, was an afterthought, and will
admit that, although Gray is the author Of
what is perhaps the most imposing single
short poem in the language, and although
he has charm, skill, and distinction to a
marvellous degree, his originality, his force
of production, was so rigidly limited that
he may scarcely be admitted to the first
rank. No doubt the explosive force which
eggs a very great writer on TO constant eX-
preston was lacking in the case of Gray,
and yield him, tender babe, and the on
ly one of my interesting family which |
will consent TO throw 10 the wolves. The
rest are inviolable, and | will defend them
