Wliat is Lift!

Wlien interpreted from a business stand point, life is undoubtedly queer :uk1 uiiHutisfactoiy to the human «oul. Vou open your eyes uix)n it in wonder and spend the infantile period of helplessness in vain strivings for more independence of action, and in longings for the time when the persecutions .f nurios and careful mothers shall ri!ii$e. No sooner do you learn what a ••rand thing it is to have a gooil pair oi which iA.iti legs and know how to use them to ad van- One oi tage, (bv getiinsr in to all sorts of nicu knew places,) when some powerful hand is thrown out against you, and a "thus far md no farther," puts an inglorious end lo all of your fun. And this (respect for ihe rights of others) is your fir»t lesson after the superior privileges of babyhood.

Naturally Nana Sahib felt aggrieved, and r».solved to press his claims against the English Governtenets of forbidden

Everybody who has ever read the story of the spider and the fly. ana "the pret-

tiest little parlor that ever you did spy" ought to be wise enough not to be caught by the most transparent of swindles. In those cases where good honest folks from the rural districts invest their funds in a pitiful story of distress, aud find themselves the victims of fraud, there is! some reason for a feeling of sympathy. Their folly comes from an innocent inex-

evidence of the goodness of their nature for the selfish are not to be caught by an appeal to their generoisty. But the fellows who are picked up by a stranger with three cards, are not to be pitied. True, the nionte man is a swindler, and deserves the penitentiary for his crime, but how elevated are the motives which inspire "greeny" to bet against him? It is the old, old desire of netting something lor nothing. It is the apparent certainty that induces him to wage his lucre. The man who fingers the paste boards is a gambler by profession, and those whom he plucks are gamblers through excited greed. The former

This would be the proper way to treat the greedy simpletons, instead of whining with them over their wrongs.

Conductors should be instructed to treat, them just as thev ar« instructed to treat the inonte men, for there is a class who will learn nothing except in the hard school of exi erieiice.
