THE CoNTRAsT.-Every man owes
a debt to the society, in which he is
born. He receives at his birth the
oirtue, the intelligence and the prosper
ty of that society as his patlimony-
it is the natural right--mch or poor,
he inherts this and he is bound to
use 1T as not abusing it he is bound
while he lives not to reduce its stan
dard but rather to increase it; that
when he dies he shall bequoath TO So
ciety a higher standard of morals than
he found when entering therein.
But, alas !how many forget this OBJ
ligatlon &? Some men live entirely for
self; they never perform an act that
does not benefit self, they are c0nSpm-
erS not producers ofhuman happiness.
Look out upon society, see these
bloated monsters who have gorged
themselves upon the public stock Of
human happiness, without adding a
moiety to increase the general store.
They build their mansions from mate
rials collected by other hands land like
the ever thirsty leech drain the life
blood of society to strengthen self
Such men never perform their work
the field that they cultivate isa mo-
raj waste
There are other men who liqe to ben
eft the world-they are producers of
human happiness, the world feels the
warm pulsations Of their hearts, and
when they die it moyrns as did David
for his loved Jonathan
How great this contrast With one
it is my farm, my house, my goods,
myself with the other it is our coun,
try, society, the world. One is like
the earth-worm that bores the ground,
and with introverted eye gazeS on it.
self and the little sod over which it
crawls. The other is like the noble
bird of passage which scars to the
sllies,and gazes upon each hemisphere
and cheers every land with its heav
enly song.-[N. P. Spaulding
