There is no denying that there are " royal
roads, through existence for the upper classes
for them, at least the highways are macadainized,
swept, and watered. They are surrounded not
only by Injuries, but by pleasures, which, at all
events to the young, must have the zest of no.
yelty It seems to me the veriest falacy to say
that the lots in life are weighed out in equal bal
ances the difference is very great-to the ex-
aminer sad, and to the sufferer bitter! Before
we talk of equality of pain, which is, in nine cases
out of ten, only selfish and incident excuse for
neglect, let us contrast high and low position
together. On one side is protection, instruction.
and pleasure on the other is neglect, ignorance,
and hardship. Here wants are invented to be-
come Injuries there "hunger swallows all in
one low want" Among the rich body and mind
are cultivated with equal watchfulness !; among
the poor the body is left to disease and decrepi-
tudc, and the mind to void and deception. L
grant that / speak Of the two extremes but it is
the worst i'll of social existence that there should
be such extremes. s
The child Of the rich man sleeps in the silken
cradle, his little cries are hushed by the nurse
whose only duty is to watch the progress of that
tiny frame. The least Illness, and the physician
bestows on the infant heir the knowledge Of life;
for every single patient benefits by all his prede-
cessors. The child becomes boy: Elton or
Westminster, Oxford or Cambridge, have garner
ed for his sake the wisdom of centuries he is
launched into public life, and there arefriends and
connexions on either hand, as stepping stones in
his way. He arrives at old age: the arm chair
is ready, and the old port has been long in the
cellar of his country house to share its strength
with his master. He dies his very coffin com
Portable :; the worry vault Of his ancestors is shell
tered; funeral sermon is preached to his honor;
and escutcheon and marble tablet do their best to
preserve his memory. .ae sI.G..s.j.1I, tili
Take the reverse of the picture. The infancy
of the poor child is one of cries and often OF blows

THE RICH AND THE POOR.

Few, save the poor, feel for the poor;
The rich know not how hard
1t is to be of needful food
And needful rest debarr'd.
Their paths are paths of pleasantness,
They sleep on silk and down,
And never think how heavily
The weary head lies down.
They know not Of the scanty meal,
With small pale faces round
No fire upon the cold damp hearth n
When snow is on the ground. A,..,
They never by the window lean,
And see the gay pass by,
Then take their weary task again, s1a2
But with sadder eve. 5-s.f.e ,ea t,ss 4 fgr

T. OR truth is mighty, that DR.. Leidy's SARSAPA-
RILLA is the purest strongest and most eficacious
of any other preparation OF Sarsaparlla that is made
It is warranted to be stronger than six bottles of

than three of the strongest prepared by any other in
the United States. .lE..a#@.
Dr. Leidys Sarsaparilla is recommended by all
respectable physicians in preference to any other.
All who have ever used it have derived more benefit
from one bottle than three to ten of others; and

out benefit, will use Dr. Ledy's, will soon be con-
yinced las thousands have already been) of the fore

used in his preparation of Sarsapara as prepared
the only one in the United States, imported by DIR.
Ledy himself from the celebrated house of Pelleter

pable of extracting the medicinal virtues Of Sarsa-

physicians have been from time to time published in

before and 10 offset his enumeration of States, and TO
show how fnse test of the popular majority may be
found in this comparison, we will remind Mr. Rives OF
tho fact that less than twelve thousand votes IN add
