The Discomforts of Wealth.

Its not because we like it that we hustle so in our business" said leading Boston merchant. "You have no idea of the great responsibil- ty of such business as this. To be sure, it brings wealth, but what is wealth, after all? Money in itself is of very little account. l wouldn't give five cents bushel for it, if it didn't bring happiness l am hap py, but it is not because l have money but in spite of it. Happi ness is matter of disposition, and money can neither bring a good dis position nor happiness. My happi- est days were when had a small family and salary just big enough to support that family. Then a was free from this care, this heavy re- sponsibility, and l didn't feel as though had to hustle every day 1 lived in order to keep in the process sion. Why not ease up now that l am in comfortable circumstances? An, how little you folks know of the shoals and quicksand of trade If you let up in this race in the least you are surely lose. It is but si IT, gle step from thriving, successful business to the bankruptcy court. You cant let up, if you are in it, you've got to pull for all you are worth, and even then failure will frequently Overtake you. "- Boston Traveller.

FORECASTS FOR NINETY-ONE.

It is long since q new year open- ed, says q Epoch, with 80 peaceful
 forecast as that of 1891. There s not a cloud visible anywhere lin the
 European sky, and the only indca
 ton of warfare are in the industrial
 iicid where the relations between capital and labor are in the usual state of ferment. But it is not al-
 ways we'll to reason from appearau- ces. The year 1876. opened with just such suggestions of universal peace ss 1891, and one of the most exper- fenced dipolmatists in Europe then declared that in all his experience he had never seen so complete an ab- sence of all cause for war. But the year 1870 stands so far without rival in this century for it's tale of carnage on the battlefield. It is to be hoped that it will continue to do so, and there is really no good req son 10 doubt that it will. For, at this moment, all the influences of European statecraft do make visbly for peace, and in the very centre of these influences stands the new Ger man Emperor, whose policy was at first suspected to be on the side of war. There remains, of course, the obvious danger due to bloated arma- ments and the grinding taxation nec- essary to maintain them. In exist ing circumstances it does not take many years of peace to be equal to the cost of one d war, and there is always the temptation to precipitatc hostilities somewhere, either by way of embarrassing powerful neighbor. or challenging the final trial of strength between the powers that are working for the control of Europe.
 In our own country the year 1891 does not promise much in the way of materials for history There will certainly be nothing so sensational in the world of politics as the result of the Congressional campaign of 1890, and, failing an extra session of Con- gross there will be little to chronicle in the way of legislation. We shall probably experience nothing so plain ful as the financial suspense of the last month or two, though It would be rash to affirm that the record of exceptional commercial disaster has closed with the old year. But for the disturbing influences of the new and excessive tariff duties on all branches of business, it would be possible to look forward to the commercial result of '91 with greater confidence. But it is impossible 10 make So harsh an interference with our international interchange of commodities as the Mckinley bill does without seriously affecting the internal trade of the country. Shrunken exports mean diminised railroad earnings and shrnkage of all the industries fed by the great transportation compa- nies. In short, diminished pur- chasing capacity among all classes of people from the Western farmer to the Eastern artisan is the condition that confronts us in the world of business this year, and it is one which must, in the nature of things, be productive of great many busi- ness reverses.

Depreciation ofMoney and Wages.

1SRl ol IAOICy duu w dRcS
 Take the case of the wage earners first; the United States census for 1880 gave the wages every year since 1860 of persons employed in more than l,lOD different occupations These wages advanced in paper when the greenback began to depreciatc but not as much as prices advanced. In 1861 wages had advanced only per cent. While prices were lower than in 1860. But imitation came in 1862, and wages rose 6 per cent. while prices rose over 20 per cent. before the year ended, thus putting the worker as badly off as if his wages had been cut down more than 10 per cent. In 1863 wages were 19 per cent higher than in 1860, but prices were 45 cent higher so that the actual loss to wage earners was nearly S20 on every Sl00 earned. In 1864 the rate of wages was B per cent, higher than in 1860, but the average of all prices for that year was ll55 per cent higher than in 1860, so that the wage earners lost more than third of their wages in actual purchasing power.
 To test the matter more accurate ly, the buying power of the wages paid may be applied to all commod- ltics in the proportion they are ac tually consumed. When this is done it is found that the buying power of wages increased nearly per cent in 1861, before gold and paper part ed company. Withdrawal of labor to take part in the war then helped the wage-earners. But in 1862 the same hours or days work which would have bought 100 in quantities of commodities general in 1860 had so far lost purchasing power through depreciation of money that it would buy no more than S7 in quantities of the same commodities, and in 1883 the same hours or days work would buy no more than S2 of the same commodities, and in 1884 the same hours or days work, paid in depre- ciated money, would buy no more than 634 of the same commodities.
 Even this way was not the worst, because from month to month prices varied wildly, and no care of the wage-earners could protect himself against loss. Within two months ending September ,, 1864, the aver age of prices varied from l27 to l5l per cent higher than in 1860 for farm products, and from 137 to lG1 per cent. higher for other articles. It is easly here to see that the farm CTS also were plundered by de- preciation of currency, but their condition may be separately consid- cred. = EX.

Your Mother.

Honor your dear aged mother. Time has scattered snowllakes on her brow, plowed deep furrows on her cheeks, but she is sweet and beautiful yet! The lips are thin and sunken, but those are the lips that have kissed many q hot tear from childish cheeks, and these are the sweetest lips in all the world. The eye is dim, yet it glows with soft radiance of holy love which can never fade, An, yes; she is dear old mother. The sands of life are nearly run out, but feeble as she is, she will go further and reach down lower for you than all others on earth. You cannot walk into mid night where she cannot see you; you cannot walk into prison whose bars will keep her out; you cannot mount a scaffold too high for her to reach :, that she may kiss you and bless you Tn evidence of her deathless love. When the world despises and for sakes, when it leaves you by the wayside to die unnoticed, the dear, good mother will gather you in her feeble arms and carry you home, and tell you all your virtues until you all most forget your soulis disfgured by vice. Love her tenderly and cheer her declining years with holy devo- tion. -[ Selected.

TABLES TURNED.

But, Aunt Langley" said Vera Leigh, lifting her dark eyes to the proud imperious face of the stately lady before her, II have told you that do not love Mir. Arnold. and I shall never marry man l do not Ioven"
 Mrs. Langly shrugged her shoul- ders, and q smile of dlsdain fitted over her lips
 "Loyc, Bah, had thought that you were above such nonsense! Love is but a fantasy of the brain-a schoolgirls dream-a delusion. Vera, I want you to yield, to my wishes in this matter. Marry War ren Arnold, and you will be the rich est woman in all Cleveland. He is millionaire twice over; he is of good family and-'
 And old, and ugly, and altogeth- CT horrid!" interrupted the girl, ve- hemently. Aunt LangIy, would sooner die"
 "rhere there is some one else ,'' erred Mrs. Langly, harshly. II be- licve-no, surely, Vera, you cannot care for Barry Grey: A poor clerk with only his handsome face to rec ommcnd him. He is no match for you. You are both too poor to ven ture upon marriage, my dear-you would starve."
 MT. Grey is a gentleman" re- turned the girl, her dark eyes flash ing; and he is the very best man 1 have ever known in my life. In every way uneXceptionable, save that he is poor, Aunt Langly, we can wait. We are both young, and Barry has all the world before him where to choose" "
 Mrs. Langley looked disgusted.
 'lou are mad !" she said angrily. 'I did believe better things of you, Vera, but l see that am going to be disappointed in you after all Well, marry Barry Grey and live in pover- ty all your life. l wash my hands of all responsibility"
 Vera turned away and went out into the garden which lay green and smiling around the pretty home of her aunt with whom she lived. For Vera was poor-poor and beautiful. Mrs. Langley had long been con vincod that with her face and man. ncr the girl should wed fortune.
 And here she had fallen in love with Barry Grey's handsome face !' ejaculatcd that lady. 'There never was such madness before. If could only do something to break up the dclusion--to separate these two"
 She pondered along and we'll, and at length diabolical scheme came into her head. She wrote a letter to Vera in a frightened hand, and sign ed the name of Ellen Grey. This let ter informed Hiss Vera Leigh that she was the dupe of designing vil- liam; that the writer of the letter was Barry Grey's wifc-his lawful wife to whom he had been married some three years previous while absent from the city. IL was a cruel plot, and Mrs, Langley little dreamed of the strange consequences that were distined to ensue.
 Poor Vera She read the letter, and sat like one stunned by the aw- ful and unexpected blow. She made no coniidantc of her aunt, but in- stead she did what that lady had never counted upon her doing, She carried the letter straight to Barry Grey himsef, and laid it is his hand. The young man-a nOble-looking, dark-eyed young fellow-read the forged letter with intense interest. When 1t was finished he started to his feet with a low cry.

An Interesting Document from the Agri-
cultural Department.

cultural department
WASHINGTON, Oct. %. - Secretary
Husk called at the White House Tues
day short time before the cabinet met.
Under his arm he carried large bundle
of manuscript. 1t was the draft of his
annual report and he came to submit 1t
to the president. The report of the de-
partment of agriculture will be one of
the most interesting documents to be
printed this year by the government.
In the report the secretary describes
his wonderful and successful work IN
meat inspection and how it has accom-
plished the opening of the foreign ports
to American meats. The entrance of
pork into Germany and the true story of
the lifting of the embargo will lind Its
first publication here in what all this
has done for the United States is shown.
The agricultural department has had
much to do with the reciprocity heme
of this administration and Secretary
Rusk's report deals largely with the sub
ject. The recent negotiations with Ger
many for the entrance of our cereals at
a reduced rate of duty into the German
empire in return for free entry into the
United States of German beet sugar are
dwelt upon at length and explained.
The report is voluminOus one, but
every page will be of interest and are so
entirely different from former agrlcul-
tural reports that the government Will
find itself taxed to supply the demand
for them,
