Evils Of Poverty.

II is one Of the worst annoyanccs of nov.
erty TINT il debnrs nian from many privl.
eyes, which at first glance, seem To bo exclu-
slyely his. rich man can afford To dress
more shabbily than poor one. A wcnlly
merchant car wear n shabby cont, but his
clerk, on three hundred n year, must wear
one OF the latest styl and having the exnc,est
tit. A man owning block of ciIy buildings
can afford TO rent the second story of one
cheaper than any of his own; for lis family
residence; but his penniess neiglibor must
take whole house, have his name on tile
door plate, aud nobody elsc's sign on the
front, or give up his hopes of getting into
business. "A bnnker's wife can afford to re-
ceiye calls in six-penny calico dress but the
lady OF our friend whose only earthly means
are his salary of thousand per nnnum, must
never hc seen in her pnrlor but in silk or
something equally costly. An heiress goes
into the country with three shilling bonnet
aud looks so neat aud loyely,' without
grain of jewelry about her; while the Jour
neyman miliner must wear her four dollar
bonnet, and be loaded with golden ornaments,
all to come out of her three dollars wages per
week. rich man may amuse himself of
morning playing the Croton upon his side
walk and The plants in his yard. If we, in
our medoctity, if not in our poverty, do il,
we must rise with the sun, and he through
with the refreshing exercises before ourneigh-
bor looks out OF his front door, or we are de-
graded 10 the level OF "man servant" Your
millionaire can refuse TO subscribe to beney-
olenl effort; we are mean il we decline. If

Inernlor is unit, and its denonlinnor sum
larger Than ever was entered in our account

the amount Of the hundreth part of our salary,
we are ashamed.
A doctor OF divinity can afford 10 wear n
shocking bad hnt;" the Young licentn,e
must always sport new one, und not one
bought in the Bowery either. A wealthy
physician cnn afford to mike his calls ON fool.
MS DR.. John Mason Good always did, when
lils practice amounted to more than $40 900
per annnn, or avail himself of an omnibus
when II is on his route. The young and I'M
known physician, who feels that he is as rich
as Ci@slis ~ the remote prospect of 81 400,
must make his calls in II gig, or cease TO at-
tend Tie patron out of whom lac confidently
expects 10 get one quarter of that very re-
| Specialize amount OF money. A LAWYER i'm
good practice can afford 10 walk Ieisurely a.
cross the Park.
| A younger and briclless limb of the Inv
must lways carry package tied with red
tape, always look heated, perpIexed and over
run with business.
And wealth of reputation is sometimes
no less servicenble lIan money. General
CaSs, when lac addressed the "unterrified" al
Tnmmnny, could afford to throw of his coat
stock aud vest. Your unknown orator. who
never was defeated candidate for any thing
higher lhan Inspector of Elections, must buy
new cont for such an occasion, and spend an
extra lial-hour at the BARRIERS before yentur
ing his speech.-.N ]. Times.
