of their fellow beings. They cannot
for a moment, poor shallow minded
fools that they are, understand WHY it
is that all are not alike favored by
smiling fortunes, or that others get
rich, obtain the respect and esteem Of
their fellows while they remain poor
and contemplate, useless alike TO them.

The man Of true nobility of soul
never enyies the superior prosperity
and happens Of other, but rather seeks
10 emulate them in all honorable pur,

others. The route proposed is from foot Of Spring

In connection with this subject remonstrance

Mr. Rider opposed the ordinance, considering that
unusual and unfair advantages were granted to
