THE REWARD OF lNDUsTRY,-The
now Right Hon. Sir John Cowan, Bart,
and present Lord Mayor Of the city of
London, came to town in the humble ca
pacity of an errand boy, and was employ
ed in a wax-chandler's shop, which stood
nearl y opposite the present site OF the
Mansion house. The drudgery which
the duties of this Office imposed, were
performed by him, day after day without
murmur, and each task Set him by his
employer was executed in such manner
as quickly to gain him the esteem anc
friendship of all WHO knew him. A few
years rolled by, and he was promoted to
the situation Of shopman, when his un-
surpassed industry, and the strictest IN
tegrity, again procured him the conf
dence and attachment of his master. A
bout this time it was his good fortune to
win the affections of his masters daugh-
ter Che present Lady Mayoress,) and their
marriage taking p ace soon after, with
the consent Of her parent, he was further
elevated to the distinguished post of part
ner in the firm. Here he remained till
his partners DEATH which occurred some
time afterwards, and the entire business
then devolved upon him. A succession
of years, during which his previous good
qualities characterised him in an eminent
degree, brought with them wealth, opu.
Ience, and power, and from that time uE
to the present he has continued his ca
reer, in a manner alike worthy of him
self and the city of which he is the cis
tinguished representative.
DISTINCTION BETWEEN POVERTY
AND PAUPERIsM.-"I 1t is of the utmos
) importance accurately to Distinguish be
> tween poverty and panperlsm; tor b!
confounding them, poverty is dshonoTed
and pauperism is countenanced. Supply
f poverty with the means and 1t vanlshes
but pauperism is the more confirmed
Poverty is a sound empty vessel, but pau
| perism is not only empty but cracked
Poverty is a natural appetite merely want
! ing food !; pauperism ravenous dlseas'
which no food can sltisfy. Poverty strive
TO cure itself, pauperism always paraly
SEES. Poverty is sincere, paupersm is al
arch-hypocrite. Poverty has naturally
: proud spirit, pauperism base one, no>
r cringing, now insolent. Poverty is siler
t and retiring, pauperism is clamorous an
2 importunate; the one is grateful, the 9th
r er the reverse. There is much that
e lovely in poverty, but panperism is alte
l. gether hateful. 1t is delightful to reliev
e the one; irksome to be taxed for the 9th
It er. Poverty has the blessing of HEAVIER
s as we'll as those that relieve it; paupel
r ism on the contrary, has nothing in com
;, mon but is the reverse Of the christia
