He Is STILL TALKING.

Carnegies periodical advice to the laboring man and
TO the American citizen generally is quite instructive
not entertaining The average Americans home his
castle Carnegies home is in Scotland and his home
castle in fact in grandeur Of proportions, in inside
appointments and in environment beyond the dreams
Of most crowned heads. Carnegie should confne his
talks the rich rather than poor To such his
talks would be accepted with better grace and
appreciation He advises the laying up of money for
rainy day-for old age. Such advice reminds Of
the observations OF Russell Sage to a young man to
whom he said: Remember in starting out that when
a gets million dollars he is Just well off as
though he had fortune The less Carnegie talks to
poor about great wealth the better For years he
employed hundreds of poor men, the lowest living
wages while he turning plates for the
government patented process at $500 more per
ton, two three tons per plate two three plates
per hour Carnegie's talks wealth and poverty are
like his libraries. somewhat burthensome.

A correspondent finds these notable
points Of resemblance in the careers OF
Shakespeare and Moliere-
The father of each was in trade anu
apparently destined his son to follow
his occupation. The early education
of both was neglected, and we know
nothing In their after training that
conferred on them their perfect knowi-
edge of good breeding and distinguish
ed manners. Neither of them was hap
PLY married. Each became manager
author. actor. Each produced con-
siderable number of authenticated dra-
matte works. Each was careless about
publishing his works, or, rather, OBJECT
ed TO do so lest they should be acted
by rival dramatic companies. Plays OF
each were collected by actors and trst
published in a complete form after the
death of the authors.
Each touched up or produced plays
that are lost or of doubtful origin
Each disregarded novelty of plot, Dor
rowing from various sources. Each
disliked his profession. The personal
character of each was gentle, Kind
generous. Each had profound knowl-
edge of human nature. Each preferred
the idea or matter to the comparative
disregard of the manner. Each had a
remarkable fecundity and fertility OF
production. Each died at the age OF
fifty-tWO.

merely hypocrisy; evil is detection
The whole system of existence-hfe,
