Rich Without Money.

Many a man is rich without money,
Thousands of men with iotEing in their
pockets, and thousands without even a
pocket, are rich. A man wit ZOO, ,
sound constitution good stomach, a good
heart and good limbs, and a pretty good
headpece, is rich. Good bones are bet
ter than gold; tough muscles than silver;
and nerves that fash fire and carry
energy to every function are better than
houses and land. 1t is better than
a landed estate to have the right kind of
a father and mother. Good breeds and
bad breeds exist among mes as well as
among herds and horses, Education may
do much to check evil tendencies or to
develop good ones but it is great thing
to inherit the right proportion OF tacul-
ties to start with. The man is rich who
has good disposition-whoi is nasur-
ally kind, patient, cheerful, hopeful, and
who has a flavor of wit and fun in his
composition.
