II is miserable thing 10 be rich ! We aver
it not from experience, but from observation.
Solomon Soulhwick, The veteran Rhode Isl.
and editor, once published a poem, entitled
the "Pleasures of Poverty )" and, although
nobody read more than The first page, it was
tho eest thing that Solomon-and he really
was man OF gehius-ever did. II was the
perversily of mankind, no, the "absence Of
calorlc" in the poem, that prevented the
"Pleasures Of Poverty" from becoming as
immortal as the Pleasures of Memory"
We pity rich man-and why! Because
he is like the unlucky fellow who used 10

The sake Of getting at lis purse. Taurus, the

bleed freely. [Gemini, the twins, generally
