WEALTH AND POVERTY.

" FALL En-
We are acquainted with two men, resi-
dents of this city, who are fair types of hui
man nature in general. The one mas been
blesl with all that wealth can bcstow; lives
in luxury, takes his case sin his nn," rides
in his coaches, and, in word, "cus grand
flourish in this little world Of ours. He is
fond Of contributing large sums 10 public en-
terprises, particularly when his name is
likely to appear in the papers in connection
ewiih--boasts ofhis public spirit and lib
erality, and is punctual in his attendance at
church on Sunday. But whhal, he is proud
vain, naughty and mperous. He looks up
on those less favored by fortune, and beneath
him in social life, as unworthy Of his atten-
tion. He has not Il gain of charity in his
soul. He would pass by poor man, in suf-
foring, without deigning to look upon him.
He never contributed, perhaps in all his
life, dime TO relieve the distfesses of the
weak and suffering. Humble want, the wall
of the sons and daughters of adversely, have
no claims upon him. He walks by them
with pompous step and unfeeling heart.
The other character is just the reverse of
this both IN condition and heart Poor from
childhood, he has never known the moment
when he was free from want His means
have been small, his wants numerous. Yet
IN poverty and in gleom, he has endeavored
10 do what little he could 10 relieve the mis-
cries of his fellow sufferers. Toling nces-
sanity for small wages, he has often divided
the rewards of his labor with some peor nee
dy widow. He has a soul-a soul full OF c'Iar.
ity, of love and truth. His heart is as broad
r as the wants of humanity ITSELF This man
is neglected, unnoticed, uncared forj while
the other is the object of adulation snd eulo
gy. How unequal, how unjust are the re'
wards of this world But with all this, we
would rather be that poor, neglected man
with his broad, expansive, gushing heart
than the naughty aristocrat, with all hl'
wealth, station and power.-Cin. Chron.

city. The next day his father came to see
him. "Joscph," said the old gentleman

father, without moving a muscle of his hare
