| ---------------------- TOO MUCH MONEY. Said a friend to a recent occasion, | ¢ 1 never saw but one inmy life, whe | acknowledged he had quite as much money as he knew how to dispose of. I had called at (his house one om wheli a Cg present ur, he might . ro. 'are nght,' said ¢ fn tho probable success of the r---- but I shall not embark in it; I have too much money now." This very uncomwmpon remark struck me most forcibl » and, and after the gentleman had retired, 1 asked 'Mt. P. to explain. ¢ Yes,' said Yo. mn reply, ¢ I would not oross the street fo gin thousands ; I should be a happier man if my income were less. Iam old, and ina year ortwo whatever I possess will avail me naught--my daughters are dead, and 1 have three sons upon whom I look with a father's pride. My own educa- tion had been neglected, wy: fortune was gained by honest labor and careful economy ; 1 bad no time for study, bot I resolved that my sons should have every advantage. Each had the opportunity of gaining a fine classical education, and thea I gave them the choice of a profession. The eldest would be a * physician ; the second chose the law ; the third resolved to follow my foot- steps as a merchant. This was very well --1 was proud of my sons, and hoped that ong day I might see then distinguished, or at least useful to their fellow men. I had spared no expense in their training ; they hed neverwanted money, for I gave each « liberal wllowange. Never had men fawer prospects of becoming honoured and respect- ed ; but look at the result. The physician has no patients ; the lawyer.not a single client, and the merchant is above visiting his counting-house. In vain I urge them to be more industrious. What is the reply ? ¢ There is no use ia it, father--we never shall want for money ; we know you have enough tor all." So look at my disappoint- weal. . Instead of being active energetic members of society, my sons are but idlers, men of fashion and display. True, they haye few wices--perhape; not so many as their associates ; they have never done anything 10 bring disgrace~apen my name ; but 1 had expected them to add to the little reputation I may have gained. It is not the money that I care for ; as my son says I bave enough for all. But let the pbysician attend the poor, and the lawyer see that justice is done to those who have not the means of paying the enormous fees now: required by the members of the bar. Tire merchant may not need the rewarde.of his labors, but there are a thousand bene- volent institutions to the sapport of which it would be a pleasure for me to see him contribute. They would at least be useful, each in his vocation, to those around them ; now, selfish amusements is their only aim. This is the burden upon my heart, and this is the reason of the remark youn listen to. Had they been obliged to struggle against difficulties to gain their professions, and were they now dependent upon their own exertions for support, my sons would have gained honor lo themselves and me.' ' Thus is the experience of many a wealthy parent, though all do not grieve at the re- sult, It has almost passed into a proverb, that " nothing can be expected of rich men's eons 3' and in looking about us at the dis- tinguished men of our own day, how few do Wwe find who have been nursed into greatness ! The farmer's son studies in intervals snatched from active labor; he gains the rudiments of a thorough education from well thumbed, books, which he cons over by the floating flame of the win- ters fire, or the misty hight of gray dawn. His task is rendered doubly hard inasmuch as he is without an instructor, and must solve the most difficult problems, und un- 1avel the most intricate truths, simply by his own persevering efforts. At length his task is in 8 measure accomplished the first step is gained : but a new difficulty arises. He is without 'means, aud must servea long mnat serve a log and tiresome apprentice- | ship as u teacher a clerk, or oftcn the two combined, ere he can save enough to ena- ble him to enter college. Three or four years of close study of the most rigid econo- my, brings him to tne threshold of active life, and should he choose a profession, the HEREBY notify the public generally and intending purchasers rticularly, to be 1 otitig0s With Do they pn or Bargaiusy bof before they ol at P ONTARIO CARRIAGE FACTORY 'Where they will find on hand a quantity of first class Carriages & Wagons, mn the ises of the choicest ial and first class workmen.
