It is a common notion among the poor and struggling that it is a fine-thing tobe rich j and if wealth is not happiness, it is a very near approach to it. Doubtless it is a good thing to be rich, if the rich person knows the value of riches, and turns them toaproper account,for his own advantage, and that of his family, his friends, acd his fellow-creatures. Doubtless it is a very sad thing to be poor, to endure cold, hunger, and nakedness; or to owe debts which one cannot pay. But when the mass of people come to the conclusion that, as a rule, tho rich are ranch happier than the poor, and that the poor have no compensation for the hardship of their lot, and the rich no draw? backs on the luxury of theirs? an error of serious consequences to their own well-be? ing takes possession of their minds, and leads to that wvrat kind of idolatry, mon? ey-worship, and that worst kind of here? sy, that it is everybody's duty to got rich. In. the course of not a very long life, I have known the histories of many persons who had, to use tbe common phrase, "lots of money"?money that they either ac? quired by speculation, by industry, or suc? cessful commerce, or that they had inhe? rited from their ancestors. Out of seven such people, whoso histories I knew, five were either very miserable in their minds, disappointed in their hopes, or would gladly have exchanged all their money lor something that poor people had, but which unkind fate had not bestowed upon them.. The first of these little histories is that of a gentleman who had acquirod a mil? lion of money, at least, by successfu l com? merce, and was able to retire in tho prime of life and strength, and marry for love a young lady well born, accomplished and beautiful. The world was fair before thara. They had a town house and a ooantry house, and a shooting box in the highlands. They had a large library, and a picture gallery, carriages and horses, and a yacht. They had troops of friends, and the respect of everybody who knew them. Thoy were hospitable and charitable, and adorned every society into which thoy entered. But they were not altogether happy after the first two or three years of their wedded life. .Not that their love diminished, but Fortune, which had given them so much, did not give them every? thing. Tho gentleman desired an heir to his estates, and the lady, wilh a large maternal heart, desired a child for the sake of a child; and the desired boon, for which she would have been so.grate fal and happy, was denied her. Beggars came to her gate with twins in their arms, and she sometimes thought such beggars were happier than she; at last^tbe sight of an infant would so excite her envy, and so deeply impress her with the sense of loneliness, and of undeserved misery, as to produce paroxysms of passionate hysteria. Another little story is that of a success? ful manufacturer, but rude, unlettered, and without much mental resource to help him pass away his time, who retired from business at the age of sixty, and built himself a splendid mansion?he called it a castle?on tho shore of a lovely lake, in the highlands of Scotland, far away from tho highways of travel, in order that his aristocratic seclusion might not bo inva? ded by tourists or desecrated by the ple bian rail and the whiz of the democratic locomotive. When tho castle was fur nished, and his grounds were laid out to his order, he suddenly discovered he bad nothing to do to occupy his time. Ho was no company to himself, and he and his wife were mentally as opposed to each j ether as vinegar and oil. Friends and acquaintances occasionally came tu visit him; but he.lived too far out of the beat? en track to expect visits from any but ] idlers, and what tho Scotch call "sornors," and as his conversation was not amusing, and he nevor lent or gave away money, j even such waifs and strays f rom the great j fold ot liuuia . .< :.i ventured into i bis remote se rl i >:<hi. Hh was 1 o go back to the \ great city and recommence business,! which might have been the best thing for I him to have done under the circumstan- j cos. So he continued to dwell in his! mountain fortress, without an object in j Kfo, or anj- amusement that ho cared; about. Ho had nothing to do but to fish, j or to shoot, and he cared nothing for oi-j ther of these modes of pastime. After! about six months of it, he ordered it boat j upon tho lako to go, as he said, fishing for ! salmon. Unobservod by any ono, he put an old grindstone into tho boat, and a lew yards of rope line, and rowed himself away to tho middle of the lake. Ho was nevor seen again alive. Tho boat drifted ; on shore without him in the evening, and three days afterward his body was drawn from tho bottom of tho lake with the grindstone tied round his neck. Tho third little story is equally sugges? tive. A very hard-working professional man, careful, prudent, abstemious, bur, somewhat eccentric, retired from busy life with thirty thousand pounds, in or dor, as ho said, to enjoy himself, and pass the evening of Iiis life in tho mild radi? ance of tho setting sun. But it was not to ' be, A serious, anH, as it proved, fala! illness overtook liim ??! is h? ex? pressed it, " he had eon throe jji'HiHis out of business." Lt< did not suffer much. J and by no means anticipated a fatal ter? mination tb his malady. After tcri days' confinement to Iiis room he was sonic what alarmed by the gravo face and de? meanor of his usually hearty and cheerful medical attendant. "I think," said the Jatter, " that it is my duty to recommend to you, if you havo any worldly affair-) t? settle, that you should settle them," The patient sprang up in.bed. ," Do you moan to tell me, doctor, that I am" dy? ing?''* 11 Oh,, no," said the doctor, kind? ly; "I hope not, and I trust that many years are in storo for you; still, if there is any matter of business for you to set? tle, settle it. Life is always uncertain; and it is best to bo prepared for all con? tingencies." "Doctor," said tho sick man, "you cannot deceivo mo. You think I am dy? ing, and you do not like to tell mo tho truth. Well! I.have toiled and struggled, and screwed, and saved for forty yearB, and thought that at the last I was going to enjoy myself for a little while before the ond. And now yon tell me I am dy? ing. AU I can 6ay it is a-." Ho added two words that were very tragic, very comic, very lamentable, very unrepeata? ble ; turned his facoto the wall, and never spoke more. Fourth on my list of the unhappy rich, is a gentleman who retired at the age of fifty, from a large and prosperous busi? ness, with the expectation that his share of the partnership would amount to half a million sterling. This expectation was not realized. On a settlement of ac? counts, and a valuation of the assets be? tween him and his partners, it was found thai his share fell a little, but not much, short of two hundred thousand pounds. This was a grievous disappointment. All his life, from very early youth, he had overworked his weary brain. He had boon unwisely eager to grow rich, and had overtasked tho energies both cf his body and mind, in the attempt to build up a fortune, and to become the founder of a family that should rank among the first in the country in which ho resided: He loved wealth for its own sake, and with a love beyond reason. Though a clear fortune of two hundred thousand pounds, or even half the money, would seem to most men something to be grateful for, and to bo well enjoyed, and well secured, it did not seem so to this greedy man, who had made money his idol, and the only object of reverence in the world. His brain was weakened by the hard work expended in making and taking care of this magnificent, but to bi ' disappointing sum, and ho brooded so much over the failure to reach the halt million he had so long calculated upon amassing, that symptoms of aberration of intellect were soon apparent to his family. His brain softened, and in less than a twelvemonth after the winding up of his partnership, his mind was wholly gone, and it becamo necessary to place him under the protection of keepers. My last rich man?a very rich man he was?an owner not of hundreds of thou? sands, but of millions?was not unhappy; but was, on the contrary, cheerful and happier than.most men are permitted to be in tho world. But, strange to 6ay, his happiness arose, not from his real wealth, but from his imaginary poverty. At the I close of a long, honorable and useful life, ho took it into his hoad that tho world bad ontorod into a conspiracy to reduce him to pauperism, and that he should end his days in the work-house. It was in vain to argue tho point with him. His fiitu was fixed and settled. He came to tho conviction, though the possossor of millions, that he was dejure and do facto a paupor, and reduced in his old age to labor for his daily bread. When he con? sulted his son, who was to be tho inheritor of his vast wealth, as to what was to bo done under these unhappy circumstances, the son, acting under medical advice, of? fered to settle a handsomo annuity upon his father. The pride of the old gentleman was aroused. " No ! no!" he said : " give me employment, I am still hale and hearty. I have always taken pleasure in garden? ing. Mako mo your gardener, and I will do my duty like a man ; and- I will owe ^o man anything, except my thanks to ou, my dear son, for giving me ompley r.ient such as is consistent with my self respect to accept. And, mind yon, I will accopt no more than tho usual wages, and no less." Still acting under medical ad? vice, the son humored tho harmless delu? sion of tho lather, an? paid him regular? ly his weekly wages. At last the old man died, happy that he could earn his honest bread to the last, and happy still in the consciousness that he had so good a son. A Doctor as is a Doctor.?A solf-suffi cient humbug, who took up the business j ol a physician, and professed a deep j knowledge of the healing art, was once j called to visit a young man afflicted with apoplexy. Bolus gazed long and hard, and felt his pulse and pocket, looked at his tongue and his wife, and finally gave vent to tho following sublime opinion : "I think he is a gone fellow." "No! no," exclaimed tho sorrowful wife, I "do not say that!" I "Yes," resumed Bolus, lifting up his j hat and eyes heavenward at tho same I time. "Yes, I do say so; there ain't no [ hope, not tho least mito?he's got an at | tack of nihil fit in his lust front is." j "Whore?" exclaimed tho startled wife. "In his lost frontis, and he can't bo cured j without some trouble and a groat doal of pains. You see his whole planetary sys? tem is deranged. Firstly, his vox populi j is prossing on his ad valorem; secondly, I his catracarapial cutaneous has swelled con? siderably, if not moro; thirdly, and last? ly, his solar ribs are in a concussed state, and ho ain't got any monej', aud conse? quently ho is bound to dio." Gen. Clanton on Cabpet-Baogers.? Gen. Clanton, tho Bayard of Alabama, in tho course of a recent speech, said of the carpet-baggers who havo overrun his State: "But it was useless to reckon on de? grees among the carpet-baggers; there was not one of them who ever shed a drop of his blood in tho war?those who pretended to military rank were contrac? tors and shoddyists; he had never met one that would tell tho truth, and ho had never met one that would stand up to what ho had said about you." --* ? In speaking of a clerical friend who possesses a very rubicund countonanco, some one Haid, tho other day, "I don't think ho drinks?in fact, I know ho doos not, for he told me so ; but ho probably sleeps in a bed with very red curtains." ?

Less than three weeks have passed since a terrible domestic tragedy occur? red in London. In Hosier Lane, Smith field, almost within stone's throw of tho1 spot where so many martyrs were burned at tho stake three centuries ago, lived a family named Duggan. The family con? sisted of Walter Duggan, the father, Emma, his wife, three sons and three daughters. Tho children ranged, as to age, from thirteen years down to between ono and two years, the eldest being a son, tho youngest a daughter. The whole of this family?father, mother and six chil? dren?on the morning of the . 28th of June, were found by the police lying dead in two chambers of the house which they occupied. Tho children had been poisoned during tho night by tho father, the wretched mothor consenting to their death. Por nearly four hours subsequent? ly Duggan and his wife sat together in the chamber surrounded by their dead children. Before them, on a cot by him? self, the eldest boy "was lying on his back" and slightly "on his side." On another cot were two girls, one twelve and the other six, decently covered up and both dead. On tho mother's bed wore tho three younger children, two boys and a girl, also dead. What passed between Duggan and his wife in that awful inter? val between the death of their children and their own suicide will never now be known. But towards morning, tho evi? dence goes to prove, that Mrs. Duggan undressed herself, and lying down on the bed beside her three youngest children took a spoon, containing about thirty drops of prussic acid, from the hands of her husband, and swallowing tho terrible dose put her hands beneath the bed clothes j and died. Only Duggan then remained alive. After drawing the bed clothes over his dying wife, until they covered her breast, he took with him tho fatal poison and wont into the adjoining room, "on the second floor back." Here he un? dressed himself, and drinking from a small glass the remaindor of the poison, staggered into bed, but before he could compose himself to die, was seized with the mortal agony. When Sergeant Evans, of the police, entered the room, Duggan was lying on his back with one arm beneath tbe coverlet and the other dropping relaxed over the side of the bed and close to the chair on which he had. placed the vial labelled "Poison," and the empty glass. In the description given by Evans of the members of tho dead family as thoy met his eyes?seveu in the front room of the second floor, and one in tho adjoiniug room back?he Bays, with a simplicity of diction that is inexpressibly touching, "They all looked as if they were asleep and had not struggled." The prelude to this tragedy is a piteous story. The man Duggan was a native of Bristol, and a silversmith by trade, and he and his wife had lived happily together during the whole period of their married life. "They were very fond of each other," says the mother of Duggan, "and any? thing which affected him would greatly grcive her." "Ho was a sober and indus? trious man; but had for some time previ? ous been laboring under great depression of spirits. His children were sickly. Some of them, he thought, were consump? tive. IIo himself had been suffering for several years at intervals with an affec? tion of the throat. Eecontly it had be? come worse, and S}rmptons of consump? tion had made their appearance?the post mortem showing discaso of the lungs ot some months standing. These disorders acting upon his mind rendered him unfit to work. He continued at his trade, how? ever, until the 19th of June, when ho either left Adams, his employer, of his Own accord or was harshly dismissed. Duggan's letter to his brother, written in the full contemplation of tho tradgedy, which occurred a fow hours later, charges Adams with being "a hard, selfish, and narrow minded man," who, on Duggan's leaving him, gave him also notice to quit within a week the house ho occupied, and which was owned by Adams. "I appeal? ed to him," writes Duggan, "for some consideration for my wife and little ones, and asked it it were possible he couldgo to such extremes after my having been between four and five years in his em? ploy." His answer was "that I must bo out of his house at the expiration of a week, or ho would put my things into tho lane." Ten days had elapsed sinco^he con? versation thus referred to had taken*" place. Duggan had sought employment elsewhero, but failed to getit. Tho week's wages received from Adams on parting from tho latter were nearly exhausted, and pressed with "the alternative of star? ving in tho streets, the vrork-houso or death," the Duggans, both husband and wife, determined on putting themselves and their six children to death. "Myself, and Emma, and the children," ho writes, "are far from strong; we aro deeply at? tached to oach other; separation alone would bo as bad as death, a:;id we love the children dearly?too dearly to condomn them to utter wretchedness and want." Then follows in tho midst of his own great agony, a touch of fili.il tenderness. "Break the nows gontly to mother," he writes, and next adds, in a burst of un? controllable anguish?"Oh;, the.horror of this night!" A little later?perhaps almost before tho ink was dry with which tho conclud? ing words "Farewell, forever" were writ? ten?a neighbor, whose house is exactly opposite that occupied by the Dugganp, saw a light in tho front room, first floor. It was then ten minutes alter midnight, and from other testimonj' which was elici? ted before tho Coroner's jury, it marks the time when Duggan, in tho presence of his wife, "a very sympathetic woman, and very affectionate towards her husband," wakened the children and admir.istorod tho poison to them ono by one. From that until i o'clock in the morning tho wretched couple sat together and bewail? ed their woes. Thon foliowod tho con? summation of tho tragedy. Tho woman sought her bed, took tho poison from tho hands of her husband, drank it, and died in the midst of her children. A fow min? utes afterwards "a flickering light" was obsorved in Duggan's room. Presently it went out. He, too, had swallowed tho fatal draught and all was darkness. -* ?
