out, ADVICE to be quiet and patient is
readily offered, and it is intimated that
''some persons" have not the same right
to success and fair treatment, and fair
bearing that 'Others" have.
These are the people who in all crowds
are forced into corners, that in all social
gatherings are neglected, that in board

and to permit all the old trunks aud rub

have everything to do for everybody, but
have nobody to do much for them. They
are expected to impartto make sacifice,
to sympAthize, to afford comfort and en-

portion in such chance crumbs Of various

There is no way out'of their fcrlorn

on revolt, turn savage, and demand. their
rights, everybody forthwith hates them,
and they lose all the small chance in life
that they held before. To each one is
appointed his portion, and there is no
better way than to try to bear it and if
they that are made to be imposed on, try
patiently and unsecured to bear il, perhaps
they will find at the last, that tneir's is,
after all the better lot Perhaps they
will discover that Cue who sees and

that they have done, and as borne for
His sake, all the hard aud unfair, and

If SO it prove, they shall rejoice in all their
earthly tribulations, while those who have
wronged and oppressed them, will not
rejoice.
