Show The Suddenly Rich. I wonder what people do with "windfalls." "wind-falls." They are always happening. In a single newspaper of this week's date ! there aro recorded no less than three of them. A workman suddenly becomes possessed of 100,000, a private soldier of 1 40,000, n pauper in a workhouse of several sev-eral thousand pounds. How tho question, 'What shall I do with Uf" must press upon their attention. My own impression is, that in cases where tho very poor people become suddenly very rich, they do not experience so much difficulty in spending their money as persons of moderate mod-erate menns who havo become millionaires; million-aires; because it Is generally spent for them. They are instantly translated to another sphere, and fall into the hands of more or less interested advisers. James Payn. , |
