PersianS the contrary, and this lesson will never cease to be repeated in his- tory.

Ah, that, too, is an H. fusion from which we must turn away. Money be the sum great or small, is a seed which germinates into abuses. Unless there go with 1t intelligence, kindness, much knowledge of men, It will do nothing but harm. and we run great risk of corrupting both those who receive our bounty and those charged with its distribution.
 Money will not answer for every thing; 1t Is a power, but 1t Is not all powerful. Nothing complicates life, demoralizes man, perverts the normal course of society, like the development of venality. Wherever it reigns every body is duped by everybody else; one can no longer put trust in persons or things, no longer obtain anything of value. We would not be detractors of money, but this general law must be applied to it: Everything in its own place. When gold. which should be a servant, becomes q tyrannical power, affronting morality, dignity and lib erty; when some exert themselves to obtain 1t at any price, offering for sale what is not merchandise, and others, possessing wealth, fancy that they can purchase what no one may buy, 1t is time to rise against this gross and criminal superstition and cry aloud to the imposture, ''Thy money perish with theep The most precious things that man possesses he has almost always received gratuitously.

CHAPTER X.

THE WORLD AND THE LITE OF THE HOME. TN the time of the second empire, in
 one of our pleasantest subprefec-
 lures of the provinces, little way \ from some baths frequented by the emperor, there was mayor, very worthy man and intelligent, too, whose head was suddenly turned by the thought that his sovereign might one day descend upon his home. Up to this time he had lived in the house of bis fathers, son respectful of the slight est family traditions. But when once the all absorbing idea of receiving the emperor had taken possession of his brain he became another man. In this new light what had before seemed suf- ficient for his needs, even enjoyable, all this simplicity that his ancestors had loved, appeared poor, ugly, ridicu- lous. Out of the question to ask an em- peror to climb this wooden staircase sit in these old armchairs, walk over such superSnnuated carpets. So the mayor called architect and masons: pickaxes attacked walls and demolish- ed partitions, and drawing room WIS made out of all proportion to the rest of the house in size and splendor. He and his family retired into close quar- ters, where people and furniture in- commoded each other generally. Then, having emptied his purse and upset his household by this stroke of genius, he awaited the royal guest. Alas, he soon saw the end of the empire arrive. but the emperor never.
 The folly of this poor man is not 90 rare. As mad as he are all those who
