TIVE DETOTEE OFGOLD.

Rev. DR.. Charles Edward Locke,
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
church of Portland in sermon
last Sunday, on the evils OF
money-getting, among other things
said.
Love ofmoney is the root fall evil
is more and more coming to be an AK
iom. Money is to be an incident OF
living, not the object of it. A useful
accessory, but subordinate to the lofty
principle Of living. When gold is laid
up against the heart it steals away
warmth and tenderness, and soon the
heart is as cold as the coin itself. See
the faithful devotee of gold! With
piercing eye and shriveled face, and
bony hands and bent shoulders, shaw
ing notes and rushing hither and thith-
er buying money with pounds Of flesh,
controlled by an unquenchable thiret
for gain"
The description of the deyotec of
gold, might have passed current in
Shylock's time, but the money-getter
Of today is an entirely different kind of
man. Instead Of being shriveled Of face
and bony Of hand, the average million
aire is well dressed, we'll fed, well
groomed gentleman. He moves with
dignity, rides in Especial car, has others
to do the running around after the
shekels, and generally gives more away
in charity every year than the type
described by Mr.. Locke accumulates in
the same length Of time. The money
getter Of today is man of brains, who
necessarily benefits many Others in the
getting and is as far removed from the
typical money-changer Of Bible times
or the money lender Of the Middle Ages,
as our civilization is from theirs. This
is a money making age, and that it is
so, is the principal cause Of our rapid
advancement in the arts and sciences
1t is quite proper that all should not be
rich, for the desire to better ones condi-
tion is the lever that moves the world.

Within the borders Of the old Bay
State are more than 800 abandoned
farms. y list of many Of these for
saken homesteads is accessible at the
headquarters of the state board of agrj-
culture. ana any one who wishes u
country life and country air can hayo
his longing gratihed for a very small
outlay in cash.
Most Of these abandoned farms are
found in the hill towns Of the western
counties, ideally beautiful for situa-
ton. many of them. and lacking only
the touch Of the wand wealth to be-
come magnificent manors. Essex has
less than any other county, except Suf-
folk, where farms Of any kind are rare,
if not precisely few and far between
There seems to be no good reason why
such places should go to rack and
ruin, when hundreds Of city folks are
longing for a summer home at a modest
price.-Boston Globe.

THe LAUGH on lie COMEDIAN.

How an Aspiring Author Put an Actor In
an Embarrassing Position.
An aspiring author once presented to
NJ. Monvel, the famous comic actor. a
manuscript tied with red tape, and
begged him to give an impartial opinion
of the production. The comedian prom
ised to do so, and the young mantle
comedian thought him very young
waited for six months and more before
he inquired as to his friends verdict.
At length he put the solemn question:
WAS the piece adapted for the stage?"
The comedian promised to let him
know in day or two. Three more
weeks went by. Then again the author
not to defer his hopes any longer.
''Well, then, said the actor, the fact
is your play is decidedly clever, i may say
particularly clever, but it is not quite the
thing for the stage The scenes, the
acting, the development Of the plot. the
tag-in fact, it requires adapting to the
stage before 1t could be possibly pro-
duced. must decline it-unwillingly,
of course, but STILL
The young author interrupted him:
"Will you be kind enough to point out
the fault?"
The actor was confused. He toyed
with the manuscript, still criticising Its
defects. The author seized 1t from him,
united the tape, unrolled the paper, and,
with laugh, showed him that the
whole was blank. The comedian had
never united the packet.
