DO MEN GO WHERE
 THERE'S MONEY? :?

Cast. away care: he that loves sor- Lengthensi not day. nor can buy to-,
 morrow.
 Money is trash. and he that will spend Let him drink nerri1y-Fortune will
 Why is it that riches. with all their
 magic power. cannot buy for a woman a lovely face, all natures own. while the girl who knows poverty's direst straits is given beauty, wisdom and genius more often than not
 If there is anything in this world which is apt to make a poor girl be- moan her lot, it is to see a young man in whiLn she placed confidence and around whom her hopes had clustered veer suddenly from her side and com mence paying ardent devotion to a wo- man who has come newly upon the scene and whose only recomnendation aside from her good name, is money. That fascinator which can overthrow even love, I am glad to say where one man is money mad there are tens of thousands of noble men who would spurn wealth if it were the considera- ton of their happiness.
 If a young man packs up his belong ings, closes the. little business that scarcely has been paying, bids good bye to his circle of acQuaintances, needs not She discourasing warnings of intimate friends. who would have him remain with them, goes afar, to hew out his own way in some distant State, they one and all say he is Iured away from the home of his childhood by 3 prospect of getting more money
 If he settles in the new country for good, and has not left behind a sweet, heart to whom he writes assuring let@ ters of hope and affection, they Jump at the. conclusion that he cared for none we'll enough to leave his heart in her keeping. They do4 not hesitate to affirm that he is to marry money in stead of yearnirg for the refined girl companion he was wont to go with Wiseacres had nodded that he would make a match with this old flame or that lively favorfte: that he was only waiting to have the knot tied until he was able to get al cozy cottage, fur nished, for their occupancy, just large enough for two, to commence with.
 These rumors are dispelled when one from their home town takes a long Journey. and accidentally runs across the young man who has settled far and away from his friends of other days. Although they had been inti- mate friends, and but a few years had gone by since they had been separat- | ed, they scarcely recognized one an other in the changes that had taken place.
 It has been truly said that man is
 most always n1olded in accordance with his environment The surroa1nd- inEs of the stranger in a far-on place cause him oftimes to change his hab- It's; to become less careful of his per- sonality, which is more in keeping with those he is brought in contact with
 He tries to shake off his loneliness It is then that the face of a bllxorn hghthearted young woman with whom he is thrown in contact appeals to him frresistibly She is plain; has no lparticular charm, but that of kindly, sweet disposition. He does not stop
 to think if she is in every respect the same fascinating girl as those he once liked. He throws comparisons to the winds. There's no money match about this wooing and wedding; just pure, simple love on his part. She has won
 g mans heart and he will woflB for riches and happiness gladly for her.
