SrLr1snNEss.-Why is it t(at tie
wealthy arc so much moe givcn "a
selfshness tLan those in tie middle
walks Of lift? If any one Is d Sro,'d
70 doubt that they arc so, let him call
to mind low often he has pictured +"
his own mind all the good lie would
do in the world were he only Iicl,
and the universally certain rebuff he
was met with when he has vcnuucd
to speak his dreams aloud "lf y"N
were to become rich your heart would
be hardened, and you would do Just
as Other rich people do" There must
be some solid foundation for SO wide
spread a sentiment as this. And
every agent Of a benevolent society
knows we'll that it is not from the
more wealthy of his fellowmen that
he draws his chief revenue.
This brings us once more to our
starting point : "Why is ii that the
rich are more close and selfish than
the poor?'' 1t is that, in proportion
as one grows ''rich and increased IN
goods,' he, instead of opening more
and more widely his heart, and more
earnestly desiring the prosperity OF
others as his own increases, draws m
his thoughts and affections, to attend
to his own wants and whimS, and be
coming engrossed in that all-import-
ant business, the first thing he knows
alYthe kind feelings and sympathetic
emotions, all the atfectlonate and be-
pevolent yearnings of his heart, have
become wrapped. and wound, amt
twisted with unutterable strength
