A living is all that any man can have,
says an exchange. One may imagine
that by excess he is getting more, but he
is really getting less-for i'll health and
sacrifice of respect are not gains, but
losses. man may own a hundred
houses but he can only live in one at
time and may be none is real home
He may own a hundred coats but he
can wear only one at time. He may
corner all the grain of continent, but
he can eat only his stomach full. He
may own great mills and broad lands
and many bonds, but he can get from
the world only living and he goes out
at last as empty handed as he came in.
Ihe surplus he cannot use himself and
does not use for others is mere dirt
none the less foul because gilded. nor
any the less poisonous kissed by worship
And we have been given plenty of rea-
sons In this country to realize that sur

tlously vulgar, in the second idle, and in
the third degenerate.
