A Mick »m ■lefcea. The following story is told of J% cob Ridgway, a wealthy cltixen of Philadelphia, who died mauy yean ■g°> leaving a fortune of'five or six million dollars. ~ , ‘Mr. Ridgway,” said a young man with wliom the millionaire was i conversing, “you are more to be envied than any gentleman l know." “Why 8«r“ responded Mr. Ridg way; “I am not aware of any canae for which 1 should be particularly envied.” ' • ■ ■“Why sir T* exulaiined the young man in astonishment, “Think of the thousand* -your income brings you every month." “Well, what of that?" replied Mr. Ridgway. “All I get out of line are my victuals ami clothes, and I can t eat more than one’s mail’s il« luwance, or wear more than one suit of clothes at the same time. Pray can’t yon do as ninchT” > ' But *’ shhl the youtTi; “think of ’ the hundreds of fine houses vou own, and of the reut brings you.” “What better a in I off for that!" replied the rich mam “1 can only i live in o>.e house at a time; aud as for money I receive for rents, why, I can’t eat it or wear it; 1 can only use it to buy |Other houses for oth ers to live hi. They are the bene Sciariesj and not 1 ” "“But you can buy co-tly fiirni. ture, and pictures, and flue car ri&ges, and horses—in faat every*. ■ Uting you may deeire.” “And alter I have bought tliem,” responded Mr. Ridgway, “what i thenf I can ouly look at tbe furuis lure and pictures. I can ride no easier in a fine carriage than vou can in an omnibus for five 'cents, with irouble of attending to drivers, footmen und hostlers; and as to anything I desire, I tell you young man, tho less we desire iii (his world better ami happier we shall be. AILuiy wealth cannot pur chase exempiii in from sickness aud ’ pain; cannot procure the power to keep off the hand of death; and what will it avail wtien in a few ■ short years' at most 1 leave it all forever I Young matt, you have no cause to envy me.” Be Kind Bovs.—Horace Mann talks to the buys as follows: ‘‘You ei1© made to be kind, buys—gener bos, magnanimous. If there is a dub foot, don't let him know yon ever saw it. If. there is n poor tioy with ragged cloches, don't talk about rags in bis hearing. If there Is' a fame boy assign him «oiue other part of the game that, sloes not require running. If there is a hungry one. i v e him a part of your dinner. If there is a dull one. help him to get bis lesson. If there is a bright one be not envious ol him; for if one boy is prohd of his talents and another is envious, there are two great wrongs and no .»oso,tal»nt-Mieo bofM»«.,.^If.,». larger or stronger boy has injured you and is sorry for it forgive him. All the school will show'liy their countenances-how mnqh better it is than to have a great fiat.” None Perfect.—One day you -will be pleased with a friehd and the next day be disappointed in him, It will pa so to the end, and you must make your mind np to it and not quarrel, unless for very grave canses. Your friend, - you Nqr, are yon, and you "cannot ekpect to get much more than you give. - You must look for -weakness,' foolish ness, and vanity la human nature; it is unhappy if you are too sharp hi aeeing them. A hospital is to be erected at once in. San Francisco for the ad mission of the leprous Chinese, who ' are becoming entirety Wto- ttuatet* one to pleaae the Inhabitants of Frisco. The Chinese seem to have no fear of loathsome dlsaatr, and are neither careful abontcontrsc i ig it themslres or communicating it to others, and only when forced in to retirement' will they leave the society and association of their cla^a. The shrinkage to values since the panic of 1873 haa caused fail ores in this oouniry amoonting|u> 8i.050,000,000, and has reduced by forty per cent, the* money value .lion of.tbe aggregate assets of the country. ‘is a inan w&> has’ made a fool of himself, to bo considered a self made man.
