Any man can produce a total eclipse of the sun, so far as lie himself is con cerned, by holding a dollar close to liis eye, i ie total eclipse of health is often pro duced in much the bauie way, by letting the dollar shut out frotn( view all other things ami interests. A great many people pay for wealth with health and admit at labt that they have made a poor bargain.
