"NOT RICH. I"
For the Standard,

"NOT RICH"
What pity that amid all the boosted intelligence
of the nineteenth century, Mammon should hold
such universal sway over the mind of man riches
regarded as test of merit; and person passed,
moderated and unexpected, because he is" not
richi"
What multitude of vices, of inirmti es, of de-
formites does money conceal! while virtue purity
and loneliness are unappreciated and unnoticed be-
cause their possessor is not rich :"
How often have we seen men esteemed, honored
hattered, fawned upon-aye, idolized when the gold
gittered in their Golfers but, when sudden and
expected reverses of fortune came; when the cloud
of adversely obscured their sky; when their earthly
possessions passed under the auctioneer's hammer;
when, from state of affluence, ease and luxury,
they were reduced to pnching poverty and misery,
how often have them deserted BY the world !;
their former friends "pass to the other side;"
wish them well" but turn deaf ear to their Pc
titions for assistance how often have seen
such unpitied, unbefiended, despised because they
are n00 not rich! !"
How often have we seen youth with matchless
form, perfect manners, handsome face eloquent eye
and with warm, noble, and generous heart, denied
the hand of his fair lady.love because he is not
richl'
How often have we seen the culprit, who has COM
mitted deed that causes the human heart to shnd-
der, screened from justice by bribery and corrup-
ton while the innocent man, unable to employ the
requisite counsel, is condemned to life of wretch
edness and Imprisonment in the dreary darkness Of
the dungeon, where no sympathising voice reach
his ear no kind word cheer his sinking spirits no
tear Of friendship sparkle in the eye; sunshine Of
| hope illumine his dark and gloomy abode, because
| he is " not rich! !"
o, treacherous, cold-hearted, money loving world
How long shall such human depravity be found ir
our midstf How long shall men bow at the shrine
Of Mammon? How long shall merit go unrewarded
virtue unappreciated; loneliness unloyed friend
n tod inpno srn -. n
because one happens to be-"Nor R1cH?'
