A contemporaiy exclaims, "It is a most horrible tiling to die rich !" We presume he has tried it, and is therefore able to make the declaration so explicitly. A man was married. He lost his wife, and had a stone erected over her giave. He married a second time, and when she died had the gravestone split, and it thus served for the two departeds. He proposed to a third, and the lady quaintly remarked, "I do not believe that stone will split again." Judge Portly says the liveliest time he ever experienced was ou issuing the fir*t number of a newspaper in a Western town. The people wanted something stirring. He published the personal history of the leading politicians as furnished by their friends. T e Judge says that for the fir.st hour they all rushed for the paper; the second hour they went for him.
