rRIBULATIoNs OF THE RICH.

Oh, sad is the lot of the poor millionaire
Inviting our pity the while,
For once he has made it, the rest of his
time
Is given to guarding his pile
He cannot sit down and do nothing at all,
And put in inaction his trust;
Corruption will come and his treasure
corrode-
He has to protect it frop rust.
In vain are devices OF bolts and of bars,
They vanish away as the air;
A thousand and one are the plans of the
thieves
Against which he has to take care.
And now with the trust busters stalking
the land,
The best we can say of the deal
Is that Mr.. CroesuS must lay up his
wealth
Where the honest can't break in and
steal

HAZARD OF MORAL SURGERY.

The ability of surgery to reform
perverse and criminal tendencies by
operation on the brain has been widely
exploited by reports of cases in which
inveterate misbehaving has been
changed to blamelessness after some
surgery has cut out the portion of
the gray matter supposed to originate
or prosecute evil tendencies. But what
if the complement of that proposition
should be established by surgeons re-
moving the wrong convolution and
turning our persistent criminals? This
narrowing doubt is forced upon US by
the report of a case in which surgeons
removed a portion of the brain matter
of a youth, and the patient after due
recovery went out and committed 200
robberies in six weeks.-Pittsburg Dis
