PITHY SAYINGS.
The following epigrammatic sentences are called from an American writer’s works. To do right is the bud, blossom and fruit of wisdom. The gulf is growing wide between Lazarus and Dives, only the two have changed places. Dives is in Abraham’s bosom. All men are not capable of getting a living now. Some are not cunning enough, not strong enough, not stingy enough. Millions of machines have been invented to save labor, but the laborer does not own ibe machine. The machine owns the laborer. No man has the genius or brains to own 5,000,000d015. The money owns b’m. Ho is the key to the safe. Yet xhese men go on accumulating. It is a sort of insanity. If it were possible to bottle the air there would be a great American air bottling association before sundown tomorrow, and millions would be allowed to die; for want of breath if they wore unable to pay their monthly air bills. There is something about money that dries up .he-affections. I suppose that one reason of it is that the moment a man gets any money there, are so many, trying to get it away from him that be thinks the whole race are his enemies.
