DrBr.-P Poverty a bitter draught, but may,
and sometimes with advantage, begulped down.
Though the drinker makes wry faces, there
en,ay, after all, be wholesome goodness in the
cup. But debt, however courteously it he Of
fered, IS the cup ola siren, and the wine, spiced

The truths that are comprehended in this
small paragraph, if eonned properly by large
portion offbe world, would save many a heart

mating pecuniary means more by notions OF
what is deemed needful to certain social po.
sition, than by positive income. Parsilnony is
not, however, the voice of society. Extrava-
ganceIe leads more people into acts Of injustice
towards others than the most penu,ious saving
