By administering- surplus? wealth ,tIttring life great wealth may become a blessing to the community, and the twoupatiou or the businees Mo.n ac - emulating wealth may be elevated eo ae to rank with any profession. Money is left by millionaires to public Intaltutione when they muet relax their grasp- upou it. Titre is nof grace, and cam be pa blessing, hi giving wItat cannot be withheld. It is no girt, because it is not cheer- fully Oren, but only granted at the stern summons of death. The nits - carriage ot these bequests, the liti- gation eonueeted with theta and the manner in which they are frittered iviva.y seem to prove that the fates do not regard them with a kindly eye. Inherited Wealth, Nothing 18 truer than this, that as a reit> the "almighty dollar" be- queathed to sons or daughters by millions proves an almighty curse. It is not affection for the child, it Is selaglorineation for the parent which le at the root or this injurious disposition of wealth. Tbere is only one thing to be add for this mode, it furnishes one of the most °Mc:I- tems means or rapid distribution of evealth ever known. Independenee or Character.

The trouble between capital and labor is just in proportion to the ig- eorance of the employer and the 1g- rorance ot the employed. The more letelligent the employer the better and the more intelligent the em- pioyeil the better. It is newer educe- tlou, it is never knowledge that pro- duces coldsion. It is always ignorance on the part of one or other of two forma. Speaking from an experlence tot inconsieerable, I make this state- ment Capital is ignorant of the necessities and dangers of capital. That le the tateeorigin of friction be- tween them. Wealth is being bore and more dis- tributed among the many. The amount of the combated profits of labor and capital which goes to la- bor was never so great as to -day, the amouut going to capital never so Educations.

Marriage Igueoursge0. Some years ago the mayor of a southern town in France offered a reward of 100 francs to every coil- Ple under the age of 24 who sought the matrimonial altar during kis term of office. Tete worthy mayor expended many thousands or francs before be went out of office.
