THE SIN OF FOREIGN TRAVEL.

Harvard men who are intending to go abroad next summer, will do well, before they make up their minds irrevocably to the step, to pause and read the following statement upon the evils of foreign travel, taken from an article in one of the German magazines. It is written, of course, from a German standpoint. "The passion for foreign travel," says the writer, "constantly stimulated as it is by improved means of communication, involves the grestest danger to the nation-moral as well as political. No less than $40,000,000 to $60,000,000 are annually thus lost to Germany, and, as if this were not bad enough, our railways don't pay, while innumerable hotels become bankrupt, and the enormous sums invested in these enterprises are absolutely lost. The loss in patriotism, character, contentment, and domestic happiness is even greater. The more we enrich our neighbors by our folly, the more we increase their power and lessen our own."
