THE WINGS OF WEALTH..

HISHOP POTTER'S recent adj
K dress on the lust for riches and
- the ways of some of the wealthy
has been so widely published
as to set all Americans to contemplating
anew the money-laden class that any man
suspects and critcises until he chances to
become member of it. The contem-
plation will do no harm in the long run,
but, contrariwise, much good, for it is
impossible not to see much in wealth
besides tendency to luxury and osten-
tation.
A list of the rich men of any city,
county and state will show that many OF
the wea lthy, even majority, live plain
ly, and are no more self.ndulgent than
some of their neighbors who live so
closely from hand to mouth that fre-
quently the hand stays into other mems
pockets and bank accounts. Dealers in
champagne and terrapin, diamonds fine
yachts and fast horses would tumble in
to the pit of insolvency were they to de-
pend on the patronage Of men really
wealthy.
Aside from all this, riches have
some ways of their own that are pecu-
liarly significant. From the grand old
book which tells us that "The love of
money is the root of all evil" we learn
also that the fool and his money are
soon parted, and that riches have wings.
The world has deduced from its own
observation the saying that any fool can
make money, but only a wise man can
keep it. To have his swing in Wall St.
is the consuming desire of every man
with the money-craZe in the blood and
brain, yet most of the ex-"kings of Wall
Street. died poor unless they had other
sources OF income; their living success
ors dare not try to retire by converting
their holdings into cash.
Outside OF Wall street the final exper-
fences OF thousands of envied men have
been similarly bad; an ex-miIlonaire,
oiiNS ohpt'coCh " NC tilS OH CNIbSl Vi lIlts
shrewd is keeping cheap restaurant
in Boston, another is an object of charity
in Chicago, and many monetary
meteors to whose names "Lucky" was
prefxed few years ago would exchange
all their luck that remains for a perma-
nent assurance against the wolf at the
door,
To "htch your wagon to star" NAV
be as laudable in finance as in any other
business, but the higher and more rapid
the star the more disastrous the drop
when anything chances to break, as
things often do when ton or more of
gold is straining at them, and when there
is no better mending material at hand
than several pounds Of overused gray
matter in an overc nfdent head.
1t is to be hoped that wealth. as all
of us yearn to make it our own will in
time find way in which to work out its
own salvation; meanwhile we must admit
that in past days it has done the other
thing with persistency that is full of
warning, Saturday Evening Post.

ELKTON, MD JAN. II, 1901.
Y yITHIN short time Delaware
NV may be stirred by the agi-
v tation for the abolition OF

the W h p p II g-p O as
punishment. State Senator Samuel NJ.
Knox, as shown by the report of the
legislative proceedings in Dover, has
given notice of bill to abolish the whip
ping-post and this bill will be supported
by prominent citizens in Wilmington.
Some of the work-house trustees are
said TO be opposed to the whipping-post
if it is to be connected with the new
work-house in any way. They think
the institution would better serve the
purpose intended, if the trustees had
nothing to do with the intliction Of CAPT
tai or corporal punishment.
At the next meeting ofthe Wilmington
nj l.. Preachers Association Chief JUS
tice Lore will probably speak on the
subject, and it will be discussed by the
association.
The plan to abolish the post will meet
with opposition from the two lower coun-
