THE BASIS OF ARIsTocRAcY.

This country is wanting in the ele-
ments necessary, for the formation OF a
genuine aristocracy. AS result, we
have aristocracy as we have weather OF
different kinds, and none OF them can
be called "of the manor born" True
aristocracy comes from form OF gov
ernment, and is impossible in a repub-
lie. Our ancestors considered this mat
ter when they formed this government,
and II is plain that men who signed
declaration that "all men are born free
and equal" had no idea OF perpetuating
OF allowing any sort OF aristocracy
whatever.
Aristocracy is properly an exercise
of authority in which the supreme
power of country is vested In a priv
ileged order. We have no such class
OF people in this country, and as a re-
suit, no true aristocracy; but the word
is often misapplied and made to refer
TO certain classes among us who have
become powerful with the growth and
prosperity of the country. Among
these, we have the aristocracy Of
wealth. the meanest of all. That OF
culture, based upon the intellectual
endownments of its members, the best
Of our so-called aristocracies. Then
We have the aristocracy OF birth, which
being harmless in a country like ours.
that allows It no privileges, is well
enough for old men and women in
their dotage who have nothing better
to think about than the Importance OF
their ancestors
Perhaps we are somewhat unjust to
those who take pride in their ancestors,
though 1t calls to our mind what these
people evidently forget, that they are
all the time proving to the world that
they are very much like potato vine
the best part Of which is under ground
Nevertheless. to honor ones ancestors
is not an ignoble trait, and in all civil
lied countries it has been practiced by
the most intelligent people When this
is done with a view to emulate the
virtues OF our ancestors the practice
is to be commended
AS to the aristocracy OF culture, the
name is a misnomer, for no one is de-
MED its privileges who possesses the
ability to attain them. No matter how
born or how reared. genius possesses
attributes which gives it a place in So
ciety OF this kind 1t is free to all who
have the intellect to place themselves
within its charmed circle and has no
connection with ancestors or the power
OF wealth. for neither wealth nor fam
lily can secure a place in this kind OF
society unless they are enabled TO do
SO by their personal and intellectual
worth
There is some sense in an aristocracy
OF birth, there is still more in one OF
culture. but Of the three kinds of aris.
tocracy recognized in this country, tn,
one that claims the highest position
and extols itself as the only genuin,
arisocracy Of the nation, is that o.
wealth. AS a consequence we fine
many ignorant and vulgar people VIII,
consider themselves the heads of so
ciety in the United States. It is enough
to say that they found the position
they claim upon the almighty dollar

To Renew old Pens.

When a pen has been used until it
appears to be spoiled, place it over a
flame, a gaslight, for instance, for a
quarter of a minute, then dip it into
water, and it will be again fit for use.
A new pen which is found too hard to
write with will become softer by being
thus heated.
