THE TODSO MIT. LI OS A IRK.
How many of our reader*, espec
ially the young men, envy the wealth
that is showered upon a few. Few
of U8 can make ourselves believe
that wealth does not bring happi
ness. In this connection the fol
lowing appeared in a leading Illi
nois Daily and contains much more
truth than poetry. It savs the tele
graphic dispatches the other day
carried extended accounts of an
all-night reception given by a
young New York man who has just
attained his majority an<^ received
?1,000,000. The affair was given
at his father's estate and 200 guests
attended. Widely diversified en
tertainment features satisfiid the
iranta of widely varied
desires of his friends. There were
midnight fetching parlies on the
?xuansive artificial lakes. There
was all-night dancing in an immense
ball room tor those who favor that
pastime. There were card games.
There was fleet of canoes for those
who wished to steal away and un- i
der the shade of great treea, hidden I
from the moon's flit away the hours.
Unparalleled decorations in keeping
with the rest of the function only
added to the gayety of the event.
The palatial home was a blare ot
lights from top to bottom and
throughout' the the grert estate
were hundreds of lanterns and
lights.
"John Smith, of everywhere, a
few days aao reached his twenty-first
birthday. He received a nice silk
handkerchief from Msiy Brown. He
worked at hie bench all <fty. Home
he went, tired but happy. Washed
tip, fee ate and then went over to
see Mary. There in the ??? I ing
on the porch of.the unj.i ? ei.u..us
ym. they spent the evei iog. A
million dollars was greater than
any dream John ever had and 200
society persons were more than
be bad ever seen. But there under
the ind ulgent moon, tbey never
missed the million ?or the party.
"Envy tke young millionaire if
you will'. But a man who really
baa lived a man with a wholesome
heart and who knows fulljwell of
die warp m*1 *<*?' of ll,e> wil1 enr7
Joha Smith. His industry and
love axe linked with health and
bope. No better riches are known
to mortal man. Without theee, in
epite of a oeol million and society
friends, life te him would .tie a wil
derness of unsatisfied longings.
Brff ter John Smith? and they are
found i very where? industry, ro
mance and civilization would perish
from the earth."
vfe1*-' ~ ? ? ?
We are persuadtd in our own
minds that the cause of a great
' many disasters aad rained homes is
owing to lack of ooneord between j
husband and wife in the manage
merit of far?ily concerns. We
could mention a score of women
whose hatband* have failed in buei
mess, or died insolvent, who did not
have any idea of the state of his
financial affairs, ontill the cruel
blow came which turned them out
to wrestle with poverty for lhe re
mainder of their life's day. Then
oftener than otherwise, the world
would say, "It was her extrava
gance that ruined bim." Such an
astute judge of thiogs is the world.
SKELETON IN THE CLOSET.
With the observation of years
we are almost tempted to believe
there are few in any home that
are truly happy. There is no truer
adage than that, "there is a skeleton
in every eloeet," no tenet of sacr< d
writ so sure if verification as that
which declares "in the "wqrld ye
shall have tribulation." Sooner or
later our sha^w will eome. Knowl-'
edge will not save us; many a bright
cultured intellect has carried the
heaviest weight of woe. Education
and good scholarship increases our
wants and calls for refinements and
luxuries that money cannot always
be honestly obtained to procure
"He | that increaaeth knowledge
increaaeth sorrow." says the preacher
Neither* can riches lift ua above
the hill that beset life. Gilded mis
ery is perhaps the hardest to bear.
The rich envies the poor man who
is obliged to earn his bread by the
sweat of hit brow and considers him
"Rich from the very want of wealth,
In Heaven's beat treasures, peace
and health."
High positions are thorny paths
and those who scramble to attain
them do not find the bed of down
they expected, and too late learn
it is better to "range with bumble
livers in content" than carry a
weight of responsibility that makes
a man a target for the envious. He
who baa great infloenoe and author
ity looka upon the man in humbler
walks as a favored creature; be
baa only his own affairs to attend
to, he caa find rest. Bat the little
man doesn't feel that way; he hsa
his own stand pointa to view from,
and he clearly sees himself depen
dent upon the patronage of others.
He doesaH tssl like a man ? and he
longa for the freedom be cannot
have while in anottier's employ, and
liable at all times to be dismissed,
may be for no neglect of bis daty,
bat bessuso bis smployer has a favor
ite or relatives be wuhes to oblige.
There are two sides to everything
? all sitaationa are somewhat like
what has been said ot the married
state, "those who are in wish to get
out and those who are ont wish to
get in." The woes we make for
ourselves are legion; envy, jealooaly,
suspicion, unkiodness,- disobedience
selfishness, perversity, falehood and
a long line of thoae cheertnl attri
butes that distort the human race,
and bringdown sorrow and suffer
ing, like coals of fire, on defenseless
heads.
