Money Getting.
Prom Alexandria SIM

The belief is almost universal that the
best thing that an American citizen can
do is to get money, and that the most
fortunate man IN the community is he
who gets the most Of it. We mag well
pause before giving oar assent to this
idea, and take counsel of these who have
paid special attention to the troubles
which beset those who devote their
whole lives to gain. In a recent lecture,
delivered in Washington by Dr. Go1ding,
the chief of the insane asylum, whose
tops we may see in passing up the Poto-
mac to the capitol city. he spoke some
wise words on this subject. Speaking of
those men who devote their lives to
coming money, he said : "PoOr as l am
haye come to pity some of them-these
men that are made of money. find a
Door rich man who is breaking down
under the strain. For him nothing has
auv beauty. nothing any charm but money
making. The machine has withered his
heart and shriveled his soul, and now it
must stop; the stopping will Kill him,
but without rest he must die"
The constant exercise of any limb

the process, finally comes to dwarf othel
