The Discomforts of Wealth.

Money in itself is of very little a» count, says a leading Boston merchant I wouldn’t give 5 cents a bushel for it| .Itdon’t bring happiness; I am happy, but it is not because I have money, bat hi spite of it. My happiest days were when I had a small family and a salary hmi big enough to support that family. TWi I was free from this care, this heavy responsibility, and I didn’t feel as though 1 had to hustle every day I lived in oraer to keep in the procession. Why not ease up now that I am in comfortable circumstances? Ah, bow little you fellow* know of the shoals and quicksands of trade! If you let up In this raoe In the least you are sufely lost. It is but a single step from a thriving, successful business to the bankruptcy court. You can’t let up; if you are in it, you’ve got to pull for all you are worth.
