By the Golden Age we mean not
the tabled golden.age of which an
cient poets have sunt,'' age in which
man following the truo end and aim
of his life lived' only to glorify the
author of his being and thes secure
perfect happiness, but we purpose
speaking ot the present age the
gresd for gold whioli seems to have
usurped in the hearts and minds of
men every higher and loftier feeling,
and sits enthroned in the highest at
tributes of man's nature.
There was a time, in the history of
.he world, when wealth was not the
keystone for honors, nor the highest
offices in tie gift of the people. In
those days statesmanship, loyalty to
country, scientific research, honesty
of Lurpose, learning and aspiration
after nobility of character were the
the standards by which the citizens
of a country were honored or elected
to places of preferment.
The Roman senators who have
gladdened the heart! of future gener
ations with their orations in the for
um, Kepler and Gaulee, astrono
mers of such splendtr that they rose
to the highest pvrantids of fame, and
even Voltaire, the jmn who by his
mighty pen helped to civilize a na
tion, Humboldt, who delivered
those famous lecturts now known as
"The Cosmos " Scott, who has
thrilled every young heart with high
laud songs. Barns, who so beauti
fully portrayed th joys and swrrows
of the cotte. s of bunnie Scotland,
Shakespeare, "the greatest human
beinar who ever touched the eaith
the only mau whose intellectual wings
have reached from sky to sky," were
all men, innocent of wealth Tiieir
lives, their labors and the accessions
to literature ana science, maue uy
their areat minds are the only key
stones to their great fame. They
knew not wealth uor its temptations,
and lived not in a generationin which
the attainment of riches was man
hirhest ambition, i
In all ages of fhe world learning
has beea accorded to a greater or less
decree, its measufe of respect. At
times it filled with awe tho minds ot
men; at times with fear; and perse
eution was de vised to caeca ns on

To-day, when the fetters of preju

It is true tnese joid pioneers God

loyal and true to eaoh ether, and
these precursors of civilization, those
monarchs of the sublimeat nobility of
charaoter that freedom's spirit Has
ever breathed into, human souls,
some of whom have grown gray Walk
ing in these paths, and they.stHl
cling to the early. lessons, while
others well, we water their graves
with our teara, and they believed
when dying that they bequeathed a
rich legacy of precepts and examples
that those who followed them would
love and copy. In those days men
and women were taken into society
because they , were honest, true and
noble; because they . pbsseasd T eftI
qumng minds for knowledge; because
they studied character as they went
along, the resul being a wide char
ity and knowledge of their fellow
men; because they were humble
hearted and well-disposed towaid
every person in whatever station of
life, and had an intense interest in
the joys and sorrows of others; be
cause they loved home and country,
twin sisters to loyalty and liberty,
and admired truth, which when
spoken, purifies the atmosphere of
any society.
But now how often is it that the
ignorant, the yicious, the thief, the
murderer, and that lowest and mean
est of all human beings, the libertine,
are too often admitted within the
pale of society because of the coin in
their coffers, yet this same society
repels with a chilling frown the
needy toiler in life's great workshop,
though he possess the knowledge of a
Webster or the graces of an Apollo.
Whatever has been said about the
tove for wealth, the wish is to be
understood as speaking directly
against the inordinate love for gold
for its sake only. When we love
wealth because it builds homes of
happiness ad contentment, dots the
hill-sides with school-houses, erects
colleges the birth-place of scholarly
attainments and statesmanship fos
ters commerce and makes it possible
for those with no other recommenda
tion save their own worthiness to
enter society, then, indeed, has the
love for wealth beconK ennobling. In
these few thoughts we have only at
tempted to draw the outlines of a
picture which the reader's imagina
tion must fill, but as you journey

BenlaDger meeting ef n short time
baek was not a parliament ry duel,
since it did not grow out of such
a quarrel ; still its motive was so
purely political that it has a right
to be classed among those that
originated in words exchanged
during a heated debate. The first
of this sort of eucouuters in the
chronieies of French legislativt

Mr. Jones came home at an un

was surprised to see Mrs. Jones
sitting up for him belww stairs
with no other light than that of

keep her company.
"M m-maria," be said huskily,

At this inonm.-iit Mrs. Jones called

It has been torn pu ted that be

babies are bora into the world each
year. The rate ot production is
tberetor abcut 70 a minute, or
rather more than Ode for every
beat of the clock: , With the o&c-a
minute calculation every reader is
laminar, out it ia not every one
who steps to calculate what this
means when it cornea to a years's
sipply. it will probably, there
fore, startle a good many to find
out on the authority of a writer in
The Hespital,tbat could the infants
be ranged ia a line of cradle seven

elusion also that supposing the
little ones to grow up and the sexes
to be equally divided, we should
have an army a hundred times as
arge as the forces ot the British
empire, with a wife n addition to
every soldier. The same writer
ooks'st the matter ia a still more
picturesque , light. He imagines
the babies being carried pasta

sinuations indulged in by Cbate'.et,
which raised a veritable storm of
angry cries. The "blacks" (it was
the name then given to the Royal
ists, who art to-day called the
"whites") behaved in such a man
der that Camille Desmoulins was
led to exclaim they "seemed like
so many devils on wlies bare
heads a bucket of holy water bad
been suddenly dashed." Cazalis
retorted that all the members of
the Left were brigands, and he
Inoked so fixtdlv at Barnave that

ed Cazaiis, "was inteuded for you

Barnave implied- with an insult

they went to tnu Bois de Boulogne
with the'.r seconds. Barnave shot

"L'poa my word 1 owe you every

"Say nothing about it. That's
what I am here for," replied Bar

amicably. "I will he sorry if I kill
you," said Cazalis, "but really you
are very much in our way. What
I would like to do would be to give
you a wound which wonld keep
you away from the Assembly for a
few weeks."' '
"I am more generous," replied
Barnave; "a!l I want is to graze
you, for you are the only orator on
your side, while my absence would

struck Cazalis on the forehead, bur,

OF SOUTHERN ORIGIN.
Chauncey Depew's Eleqaent Sketch
Decoration Day, 1879.
When the war was over, in the
south, where, under warmer skiea
and with more poetic temperament,
symbols and emblems are better
understood than in the practical
north, the widows, mo'heis and
children of the Confederate dead
went out tad strewed their graves
with flowers, and at many places
the women scattered them intpar
tially slso ever the unknown and
unmarked resting places of the
Union soldiers. As tho news of
this tjuchiag tribute flashed over
the nprth it roused, as nothing elae
could have done, national amity
and love and allayed sectional
animosity and passion. It thrilled
every household where there was a
vacant chair by the fireside and an
aching void in the heart for a lost
hero whose remains bad never been
found.old wounds broke out afreab.
and in a mingled 'tempest ol grief
and joy the family cued. "May be
was our darling." Thus out of
sorrows common alike to the nertu
and south came this beautiful
costom. But Decorauoa day no
longer belongs to those who mourn'
it is me csmmon privilege ui ua
all, and will be celebrated as long
as eratitude exists and flowers
bloom.
