well as clever gossipcr, he's discovered
there are things in the world which money
will not buy.s Let those who have none
be consolcd:


at is very provoking to people who
have been signing and dying for money
all their lives, to find when they have got
it that, after all, it is not what they want
ed. They have been accustomed to look
with envy on every evidence of wealth and
taste, and think, 'Ah if bad onlv riches
all these would come as matter Of course
But alas they find out their mistake
Money will do great deal, but it will not

ing love of the noble, the great and the
beautiful


Worse than all, it cannot purchase the
right to exclude others from the eniov-
mcnt OF whatever belongs to natural con.
ditionS, the world having been construct
cd on an intensely Democratic principle,
and its highest good open to fair and free
competition to the lowest as we'll as to the
most exalted


"The possession of money brings with
it, invariably, desire to monopolSe, and
a charming feeling Of sclf.compIacency in
being able to say, my house is different
in such and such respects from all others,
my furniture is finer, my pictures more
rare, and, as for my dress, | would throw
it aside if any other Individual dared to
appear in anything like it,


For such people it seems pity that
a special sun, moon and stars cannot be
provided, that the earth does not show
brighter colors when they step upon it,
and the trees bend their branches with
lOwlier grace as they pass.


alt is positively disgusting that the
same air which is laden with their per-
fumes carries the weight Of the incense
from an old tobacco-pipc in a common la.
borcr's mouth, or that the sky looks down
with as serene blue upon the little child
playing by the cottage door, as upon their

harsh and rude caprice Of ignorant ser.
want girls, instead of the gentle influence
Of mothers love.


cit is more disgusting than all, that
money, which will buy so many things,
will not buy pleasure in them. Fancy the
wealthy Mrs. y. contrasting her splendid
yellow brocatelle with the dark green and
black walnut in her dressmakcr's private
parlor, and somehow arriving at dim
consciousness that the woman whom she
paid for making her dresses was more a
lady, to all intents and purposes, than her.
self.


Fancy her receiving guests whose
criticism she breads with the nervous fear
in her manner that her dress, or her ap-
pointmentS, or her speech, will betray
the fact that her father sold pork and sau-
SaguS, and that she herself, in her inner
heart, would rather at that moment be
making pudding in her own kitchen
than be the butt of people whom-and
there is a tritic Of satisfaction in the tho't
she could buy up, and scarcely bc the
poorer.


See her in her costly box at the opera,
like skeleton at the feast Of the Barmc-
cides. She cares nothing for the music
it is d great bore. Biignoh's liquid utter
auceS are all Greek to her. She would
rather h,ar her sister Mary-whom she
never Coys u see, because she has six
children, and lives on the cast side of the
Bowcry- sing The Old Arm Chair than
the favoritc tenor in his most delicious
Cavatina.


Watch her even as she steps from her
snowy carriage and enters the magnificent
establishment, whose attendants will fly
to her bidding and you will see thai she
is entirely out Of her element. Her eco
nomical soul rcvolts at the price which
she must pay for all this servlity. In.
stead of examining goods in state, her
choice limited TO the styles which she is
assured by the clerks are suitable to her
station, she would like to trot, as she used
to, from store to store, cheapening, price
ing and bargaining. She cannot, for the
life of her, see the mighty difference be.
tween one shade Of color and another, or
why new design should add twenty dol
lars to the price of robe.


She always wants something tangible.
something to show for her money, and
so she wears enormous diamond rings and
heavy chain to her watch, and will not
buy an Indian shawl because she cannot
see the difference between that and
broche and it would he so provoking to
have old friends, before whom she wanted
to display her grandeur, mislaklng her
thousand dollar shawl for q paltry thirty
dollar article, the pride of some mere me-
chanic'S S wife, whose husband earns two
dollars day.


" 1t is not long since she envied the DOS
SCISSORS OF fine houses and carriages. Now
she owns to herself that she had more
pleasure in getting up cheap dinners, in
showing how good a stew she could
make of a piece of meat that only cost ten
or twelve cents, than in all the abundance
which is wasted by her three and four
servants, for she is essentially manager
and cannot bear to pay lazy walters or i'm
pertinent chamber maids double the real
value of their services, or feels afraid to
enter a protest to her own cook against
the mysterious Disappearance of chickens
and turkeys, and the frightful havoc made
in joints which she had determined should
find their way to her table a second time.
Poor Mrs A., she longcd for the apple of
Sodom, and now that she has got it finds
il only fair outside and ashes within. She
felt richer with the ten dollars on which
she used to keep house for week, than
on the fifty which she diSburscs now
Her soul was born to poverty, and finds

How, then, can she feel rich, or find
pleasure in the acquisitions which scpa-
rate her from all she most loves"
