He read Shakespeare more than all
other writer's together. He made no at
tempt to keep pace with the ordinary
literature Of the day. Sometimes lie
read scientific work with keen appre-
citation, but he pursued no systematic
course. He owed less to reading than
most men. He delighted in Burns; he
said one day after reading those exqui-
site lines to Glencairn beginning, "The
Bridegroom may forge the bride" that
Burns never touched a sentiment with
out carrying it to its ultimate ex-
preston aud leaving nothing further to
lie said OF Thomas Hood he was
also excessively fond. He often read
aloud "The Haunted House" He
would go to bed with volume OF Hood
in his hands, and would sometimes rise
at midnight and trayersing the long
halls of the Executive Mansion in his
night clothes would come to his secre-
tary's room and read aloud something
that especially pleased him. he
wanted to share his enjoyment Of the
writer; it was dull pleasure for him to
laugh alone. He read Bryant and
Whittier with appreciation: there were
many poems Of Holmes that he read
with intense relish. 1.-THE Last Leaf
was one of his favorites; he knew it by
heart, and often used to repeat with
deep feeling:

The act OF governor suing for
his salary is novelty. Such a case
has occurred in Indiana. A late
law Of the state gives priority to
the claims of the benevolent institu-
tons of the state upon the money
in the treasury, and there is little
money. When Governor Hovey
applied tor his last quarters salary,
it was refused, on the ground that
the benevolent institutions needs
would require all the money. The
governor holds that the law is I'M
constitutional, and will bring suit
against the treasurer.

Amy one who passes by the great
Edison laboratory at Orange, n. j.,
by night is apt to find the lights
burning, no matter what the hour.
Edison is an indefatigable worker,
and he pays little heed to the pas
sage of time when occupied with d
new experiment or some fresh in
vestigation. To the spirit of perse
verance he owes much of his sue
cess. A day or two ago a gentle
man who was visiting his laboratory
and whose son was about to enter
upon his best employment, asked
Edison to give him motto for the
boy, so that he might have it as
stimulus and guide. Mr.. Edison
laughed little at the novel request
and then said: "Well. I'll give

THE RIGHT TO GET RICH.

One of the greatest advantages of
American citizenship, says the New
York Sun, is the opportunity which
it offers to those of the humblest ORR
gin to attain the highest places Of
power and wealth.
Perhaps it is prevailing fault in
this country at the present time to
estimate the Importance Of mere
wealth too highly. But even the
most pessimistie person must ac-
knowledge that large fortune may
be made most benefcent, not only
to its possessor, but to hundreds and
possibly thousands of others, and
that the chief objection to the con-
centration of riches in the hands of
one man lies in the liability that he
will misuse his property or neglect
to use IL advantageously to his fell
low beings.
In no circle, however, has the
prejudice against wealth yet gone
so far that people are willing to
part with the right to get rich If
they can.
Without attempting 70 lay down
any rule as to the moral limit of ex-
penditures for pleasure or luxury,
we are quite confident that those
those who assume to speak for the
working men in this county do not
represent them truly so far as they
attack rich men merely for being
rich.
1t is not go many years ago that
Cornelius Vanderbilt the elder was
earning his bread by the sweat Of
his brow just as truly as any brick
layer or hod carrier in the land, al
though in different pursuit. There
are men at work today, as unknown
as he was then, in the ranks of Ia
Dor, who will yet be the possessor
OF millions. No one who is familiar
with the history of great fortunes in
this country can doubt it. God
speed every laboring man to pros
perity and contentment. The right
to get rich is right of the working
man in the United states. Great
wealth has beer acquired honestly
in the past and will be acquired
honestly in the future.
Surely the country in which SO
many millionaires began to earn
their living by manuel labor cannot
be bad country for the working
man.
