The Lires OT Fire Rich Hcn.

It is common notion among the
poor and struggling that it il fine
thing to be rich; and if wealth is
not happiness, it is a very near ap-
prOaCh 10 it. Doubtless il is n good
thing to he rich, if the rich person
knows the value Of riches, and turns
them to a proper account. fer his
own advantage, and that of his fam
lily, his friends, and his fellow crca-
lures. Doubtless it is very sad
thing to he poor, to endure cold,
hunger, nakcdncs, or to owe debts
which one cannot pay. But when
the mass of people come to the con
cluSion that, as "A rule. the rich are
much happier than the poor, and
that the poor have no compensation
for the hardship Of their lot, and
the rich no drawbacks on the luyu-
ry of theirs--an error Of serious
consequence to their own well being
takes possession of their minds, and
leads to that worst kind of hcrcsy,
that it is cverybody's duty to get
rich.
In the course of not very long
life | have known the histories OF
many persons who had, to use the
common phrase, "lotS Of money

their hopes, or would gladly have
exchanged all then money for some
thing that poor people had, bnt
which unkind fate had not bestowed
upon them.

is that OF "A gentleman, who had ac-

carriages and horses, and a Yacht
They had troops Of friends, and the
respect Of everybody who knew
them. They were hoSpitable and
charitable, and adorned every socie-
ty into which they entered. But
they were not altogether happy after
the first two or three years of Their
welded life. Not that their love
| diminished, bat Fortune, wLich had
given them so much, did not give
them everything. The gentleman
desired an heir to his estates, and
the lady, with large maternal
heart, desired a child for the sake
of a child; and the desired boon,
for which she would have been SO
grateful and SO happy, was denied
her. Eeggars came to her gate with
twins in their arms, and she some
times thought such bcggars were
happier than she: at last the sight
of an infant would so excite her en-
w, and so deeply impress her with
the sense of loneliness. and Of un-
deserved misery, as to produce par
oXysms Of passionate hySteria.
