Wealth Not Happiness.

The belief is too common that great
riches must inevitably imply a large
amount of happiness. Money is very
desirable good, but the choicest blessings
of life are those which it can not pur-
chase.
The banker Rothschild was surely in
position to Judge of the power of wealth
to confer happiness.
A gentleman who was enjoying the
hospitality of the great king of finance,
said to his host, as he surveyed the su-
perb appointments of the mansion:
you must be happy mani"
Happy" exclaimed the millionaire;
81 happy!"
"Yes, happy"
LET us change the subject, was the
meaning reply.
John Jacob Astor was also frequently
told that he ought to be very happy in the
enjoyment of so much property.
"Why, said he on one such occasion,
would you take care Of it foryourboard
and clothes? That is all | get.
The latter statement must be taken
with grain of allowance. There are q
thousand blessings, beyond the bare nee
essaries Of life, which are only at the
command of the wealthy.
On the other hand more genuine hap
piness is to be found i'm the round of hum
bic living than in the acquisition or care
of great riches.

During the afternoon the Rev. Mr.. Milburn

Then Mr.. Mcdonald called his family and

From hc Iyftsbiog Herald.
In examining the record Of the Circuit
Court Of Berkeley county, few days ago,
we found entered in the Law Order Book
No. 3, page 40, dated 9th day Of December,
1865, the following certificate to E. Boyd
Faulkner, which we think should be pre-
served as indicative of the times and the
peculiarties of the venerable old gentleman
who then presided over this Circuit:
"On motion of f. Boyd Faulkner, a ma
tive and resident of the County Of Berkeley,
w. Va, who desires to present himself for
admission to the bar of this State, ! hereby
certify in addition to his residence, he is
over twenty-one years of age, and Of honest
demeanor, unless the fact that he has been

Fo,tidious Speech.

How many people are there who pro-
nouuce any proportion of their words cor
rectly, not merely by reason Of clipping
and mouthing, but by ignorance Of good
usage? We find them everywhere, and
they lay the accent on the first instead Of
ON the second syllable of acclimate for
example; they pronounce the second syl-
liable of acoustics COO instead Of COW;
they do not put the accent on the last syl-
liable Of adept, as they should do; they
leave the sound out of buoy; they pro-
nOunce duke with the sound of 90 instead
of with the simple long u emphasize the
first instead of the second syllable of en-
ervate. and sound the { in often. They
are astonished to know that precedence
has the accent on the second syllable,
and placard on the last; that quay is
called key; that sough is suf; that the
instead of the sound is to be given in
sacrifice. and the reverse in rise; that
subtitle and subtle are two different
words that the last syllable Of tortoise
is pronounced It's instead of tus, that
it should be used and not ust; and that it
is not the ZOO" but the geological gar

The laws of health are taught in the
schools; but not in a way to be of much
practical benefit and are never illustrated
by living examples, which in many cases
might easily be done. If some scholar,
who had just contracted a cold, was
brought before the school, so that all
could hear the dry, loud cough and know
its significance; see the thin white coat
ing on the tongue and later, as the cold
developed, see the profuse watery expec-
toration and thin watery discharge from
the nose, not one of them would ever
forget what the first symptoms of a cold
were. The scholar should then be given
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely,
that all might see that even severe cold
could be cured in one or two days, or at
least greatly mitigated, when properly
treated as soon as the first symptoms APP
pear. This remedy is famous for it's
cures of coughs, colds and Group. 1t is
made especially for these diseases and is
the most prompt and most reliable medi-
cine known for the purpose. so cent
