Mow Few Are Rich.
It is probable, to sav the least, that fully 90 per cent, of the whole body of the people spend nearly all that they can earn; of this 90 per cent, a | or; ion may be setting aside a moderate part of theii’ small earnings, become the owners of a house, or become depositors in a savings bank, or insure their lives in a moderate way. Of the remaining 10 per cent, apart save enough j to protect themselves against want in their later years, and a very small part may become rich, and then need not work unless they choose.— Edwin Atkinson, in the Forum. Live virtuously and you cannot die too ..soon, or live too’ long.- '•Lady | Bussell*'
