Riches—A Beautiful Fable.
There is a German fable which says
On a sultry, hoi summer d-.iv. an hones
iW man was plowing his own field, wbei
suddenly, under the shade of an oak
be beheld a godlike figure opproachini
him. The man started back.
*• I a in Solomon,” said the phantom, i
a confiding voice. " What art thou doini
here, oid man?”
“ If thou art Solomon,” was the reply
“how canst thou a>k me/ When I wa
a youth ihou didst send me to the ant.
saw its method of living, and it taught mi
to be diligent, industrious and persevering
and gather (he superfluous for a storin’
day. What I then learned, I still con
linue to do.”
*' Thou hast studied thy lesson but half,’
replied the spirit, “go once more to tlx
ant and learn of it, also, how to find res
and quiet in the winter of thy years anc
how to enjoy that which thou hast hoarded
up.”
There is a world of wisdom in this fa
ble, and (here is do lesson in human phi
losophy that should be more palpably im
pressed on the understanding. Riches
are desirable, but their greatest use is tc
make the decline of life happy, and lie,
who after acquiring, fails to enjoy them,
is certainly to he puit-d. It is an imposi
tion on one's self to toil in :he summer’s
heat and winter’s cold to accumulate prop
erty and then be too* parsimonious to en
joy it. One of the greatest privileges,
one of the most glorious conditions that a
human being can enjoy is to be happy—to
withdraw for a lime from Mammon, to
look up to God and be truly at peace with
irtWelt and all mankind. The ant toils
tiirough the spring time and summer, but
when the cold winds of autumn come,
when the Snows of winter fall, it nestles
down in its warm chambers, lives on what
H b is accumulated; and we have no

Why don’t You Learn a Trade I —
This question was propounded in our hear
ing, a few days since, to a young man
who has been several months Unsuccess
fully seeking employment as a clerk or a
salesman in some of our leading houses.
Complaining of his ill luck, one of his
friends who knew he had mechanical talent,
but doubted whether he could make himself
useful either as a clerk or salesman, pul
the interrogatory to him which we have
placed as the caption of this article. The
reply was; “Not so respectable as a mer
cantile occupation.” Under this delusive
idea, our stores are crowded with young
men who have no capacity for business,
and who with their fancied respectability of
• doing nothing, waste away their minority
upon salaries which cannot possildy liqui
date their expenditures.
Late, too late in life, they discover their
error, and before they reach the age of
thirty, many of them look with envy upon
the thrifty mechanic, whom, in the days of
their boyhood, they were accustomed to
deride. The false respectability, which
prevails in the sot disant fashionable
society of the present day, has ruined
thousands of young men and will ruin
thousands more.
