They who are acquainted with these authors need not be told how riches excite pity, contempt or reproach whenever they are mentioned, with what number! of examples the danger of Jarge posseasions !s illustrated, and how all the powers of reason and eloquence have been exhausted in endeavors to eradi- cate a desire which seems to have entrenched itself too strongly in the mind to be driven out, and which perhaps had not lost its power even over those who deciaimed against it, but would have broken out in the poet or the eage ff it had been excited by opportunity and invigorated by the approximation of its proper object. Their arguments have been indeed so unsuccessful tft T know not whether it can be shown that by all the wit and reason which this favorite cause has called forth a single convert was ever made, that even one man has refused to be rich when to be rich was in his power, from the conviotion of the greater happiness of a narrow fortune, or disburthened himself of wealth when he had tried its inquietudes merely to enjoy the peace and leisure and security of a mean and unenvied state. ‘This doctrine of the contempt of wealth, though tt has not been able to extinguish avarice or ambition, or suppress that reluctance with which a man passes his days in a atate of inferiority, must at least have made the lower condition less grating and wearisome, and hag consequently contributed to the general security of life by hindering that fraud and violence, rapine and circumvention which muft have been produced by an unbounded eagerness of wealth arising from an unshaken conviction that to be rich is to be happy. Wealth is nothing in itself, 8 not useful but when it departs from us; tts value is found only in that which it can purchase—which, if we suppose it put to its best use by those that pos it, seems not once to deserve the desire or envy of a wise man, It is certain that with regard to corporal enjoyment, money can nelther open new avenues to pleasure nor block up the passages of anguish, Disease and infirmity sfil! continue to torture and enfeoble, perhaps exasperated by luxury or promoted by softness, With respect to the mind, it haw rarely been observed that wealth contributes much to quicken the discernment, enlarge the capacity or elevate the {magt- nation, but may, by hiring flattery or laying diligence asleep, confirm error or harden atupidity. ‘When, therefore, the desire of wealth is taking hold of the heart, let us look around and see how it operates upon those whose industry and fortune &@ poor memory; | ni | you will know they By Maurice Ketten AW OUT oF Aue CANENBERTCHeese WON'T GET ANY WHILE ~SHE R M fererer errr rere rs Mrs. Jarr's?

Now, there came unto me a youth whom I called “First Beat,” And when I had sate him upon the sofa and fed him with chocolate fudge he burst into speech; but all his words were strange unto me. for he talked of nothing but AUTOMOBILES, of carburetors and spark plugs and pneumatic tires and acetylene lamps and shock-absorbers and speed records and the price of gasoline And when the evening was over I had uttered not a single word save: “How perfectly lovely!” And, anon, came “Second Beau,” and straightway ‘e likewise begap speaking in an Unknown Tongue, called SLANG. Yea, of “chickens” and “squabs” and the “Once-over” did he chatter, and likewise of “persimmons” and “boobs” and “dead ones” and the “doubdle-cross.” And again I sat silent and murmured: “How wonderful!” And in time came a Third, who babbled only of SPORTS, of tees and bunkers and mashies, of home runs and left curves and “Matty” and “Mike” and the “pontes.” And another who chattered of nothing but ART and “composition” and “technique” and “perspective” and “futurism” and “impressionism” and “the verities.” But at last there came And I said in my heart: “Oh joy!
