into his own pew near the pulpit, in
fashionable church. There was q
prominent member Of the church near
the merchant, who saw this with the
utmost amazement. He looked, and
looked again. lie could not be mis-
taken-it was genuine "nigger" and
not counterfeit. Midway in his ser
mon the minister discovered him, and
was 90 confused by it that he lost his
place and broke almost down.
After service, the man who sst near
the merchant, went to him, and IN
great Indignation, asked, "What does

constantly revolving and producing
such mutations in property that the
wealthy man of to-day may become
the poor laborer Of to- morrow. Truly
wealth often takes wings and flics
away. A large fortune rarely lasts
beyond the third generation, even if
it cndures 80 long. We must all know
instances Of individuals obliged to la
Dor for their daily bread, whose grand
tatlicrs were men Of fortune. The
regular process Of society would al,

one class to dissipatc the fortunes
which they have inherited. whilst an
other class, by their industry and
economy, are regularly rising to
wealth. We have. all, therefore, a

duty, to protect the rights OF the labor
