Rich without Money.

Many man is rich without money.
Thousands of men with nothing in
their pockets, and thousands without
even a pocket, are rich. A man born
with good sound constitution, good
heart, and good limbs, and q pretty
good head-piece, is rich. Good bones
are better than gold tough muscles
than silver; and nerves that flash fire
and carry energy to every function
are better than houses and land. 1t is
better than landed estate to have the
right kind of father and mother. Edu-
cation may do much to check evil ten
denotes or to develop good ones; but it
is q great thing to inherit the right
proportion of faculties to start with.
The man is rich who has good dispo-
sition, who is kind, patient, cheerful,
hopeful, and who has flavor of wit
and fun in his composition, The hard
est thing to get on with in this life is
mans own self. A cross, selfish fel-
low, responding and complaining
fellow, timid and care-buIdened man
these are all born deformed on the
inside. They do not limp, but their
thoughts sometimes do.

Didn't Come Here,

Recently some kind OF a mysterious science
Vile to relieve sufferers-of their money.
The newspapers in the city refused to adver
tise his arts, and without adver tising, he con.
cluded not to come.
The question now Is: Were the newspapers
just to themselves and the community in de.
clining an advertisement for which good pay
could have been had? 1t the advertisement
had been profitable to the doctor. our people
would have spent great deal more than the
amount which the newspapers would have
received. If we had published 1t, it would
have taken money from the regularly IL
censed doctors, who do not advertise. If the
transient doctor had done no harm by bis
medicine, would the mere fact Of his petients
parting with their money done them any
harm?
We have good authority for thinking that
we will always have the poor with US. II
they could not have invested their cash for
quack medicines they might have fooled 1t
away buying clothes, or wasted 1t buying
provisions. At any rate, some people Go not
save their money. For this reason does 1t
matter how they dispose Of it7 In some in
stances men actually throw away their mon
ey paying debts. When q man gets irto the
habit Of squandering his money on his credi-
tors, doctors and patent medicines, faith
cures and scientific tricks, he may despair Of
winning fortune.
