t the student of human nature to notice
people at th; many stations seating them-rrdvf-s

they will pass vacant seats to look for

coming in at opposite ends will pass
each other and find seats rejected by the

The same principal in human nature is
seen in the ever restless moving tide of
people going 'to and fro," changing

An amusing al venture la related us having

committed the unpardonable bin of refusing
to discount a large bill drawn by Anselm
Rothschild, of Frankfort, on Nathan Roths
child, of London. The bank had haughtily
replied that thoy discounted only their own
bills, not those of private persons; but thoy
had to do with one stronger than the bank.
"lYivate persons !" exclaimed Nathan when
the fact was reported to him. "I will make
these gentlemen see what kind of private
persons we are."
Three weeks later Nathan Rothschild who

the 5 notes he could procure in England and
on the continent presented himself at the
bank. lie drew from his pocketbook a 5
note, and they naturally counted out five
sovereigns, at the same time looking quite
astonished that the Baron Rothschild should
have personally tmubled himself for such a

coins, and put them in a little canvas bag;
then drawing out another note a third a

hours to change 21,000, but as he had also

Tiie oKl s ivinif about a lie well stuck
to is laving a signal illustration iu the
r, ;;' uss iteration of the "deplorable con
ditio;! of labor." The hard lot of th
iaborluii man is the unfailing theme of
the tlci;i:ig"iic, the crank, of envious and
maiicici: and unbalanced minds gener
ally. The only thing in modern life,
lb'.; sole circumstance in the rushing
lrogrc?-s of the day. that attracts their at
tention, i: the fact, if fact it be, that
"the rich are growing richer and the poor
poorer." They have no other description
of labor than that it is "ground down,"
"robbed of its ju-t earnings," "disinhei
itetl by capital," and so on through the
whol-. gamut of distempered growls.
Ail lh : tilings which modern devel
openii.T.t h.-is lrought forth to the ad
vantage of the workingman, alltlicncw
blessings which go to lighten his life and
to make him and his family comfortable,
:iro seduclv-usly ignored anl the effort of :
the. awragc agitator is bent to distort the
truth and to deceive his victims, and
even honest workingmcn.
Such methods may at times lead woik
intuen into false beliefs and false
:ourcs of action, but only temporarily
so. Tlif xonnd sence oC workini,men
will assert itself. It is not possible to
who'iy ci)',T u; m matter b' what de
ceit ami iteration of falsehood, the fact
that in this country the condition of the
laboring man has steadity and even rap
idly improved; that on an average hini
wlf and his family are able now with
their labor to luanlain themselves iu in
comparably more comfort than could be
done fifty years ago. Intelligent labor
ing men, all laboring men whose memo
lies go back thirty or forty or more
yeirs, understand this fact perfectly well.
Its significance ought to be more fuliy
appreciated. Workingmen of the young
er generation, and especially those who
have come from foreign shores, can do
themselves no better service than to in
form themselves honestly and accurately
of this dominant tendency in this coun
try to give to labor a larger share of the
joint results of labor and capital. In
