aud myself into the delightful habit Of

You may have wondered a: the statistics
that ia India, in the year 1875. there were
over nineteen thousand people slain by
wild beasts, and that In the year 1876 there
were in India over twenty thousand peO-
pie destroyed by wild animals. But there
is monster in our own land which is year
by year destroying more than that. It l.

Won to see the bright light that there is in
the clouds, aud compel you to make the
best OF everything
In the first place, you ought to make the
very best of all your financial misfortunes.
During the panic years ago, or the long
years of financial depression, you all lost
money. Some OF you lost it in most unac-
countable ways. For the question, How
many thousands of dollars shall put aside
this year, you substituted the question
"How shalt pay my butcher, and baker.
aud clother, and landlord" You had the
sensation of rowing hard with two oars
and vet all the time going down stream.
You did not say much about it because
it was not polite to speak much of ilnan-
cial embarrassment; but your wife knew.
Less variety of wardrobe, more economy
at the table, self-denial in art and tup-
estry. Compression; retrenchment. Who
did not feel the necessity of it. Ny friend
did you make the best of this! Are You
aware OF how narrow an escape you made?
Suppose you had raIched the fortune to-
ward which you were rapidly going? What
then? You would have been as proud as
LuciGer.
How few men have succeeded largely in
a financial sense and yet maintained their
simplicity aud religious conservation Not
one man out OF hundred. There are Clori-
Gus exceptions, but the general rule is that
in proportion rs Il man gets well of for this
world he gets poorly off for the next. He
