Of aggravated distress, but sadly lax to
prevent the occurrence Of such cases by
lack Of pc rsonal knowledge of the poor.
Monetary help in plenty poured in from
all sources in answer to newspaper ap-

The mother never thoroughly. recov-

Of care and sympathy, faded out of life
within three months OF her husbands
death. Then arose the question, wha.
to do with Nelly. q gentle, good looking
girl of sixteen. tried unsuccessfully to
get her admitted to Orphan Schools and
various Industrial and Benevolent
Homes. honestly stating her history as
have told it. But the doors of these
excellent institutions we're all shut
against her. At last, with some trouble,
got Nelly received into country viii
lage school, where she made herself use

same time.
Nelly grew up to be gentle, good,
Christian woman,-as much q lady in
heart and gentleness 40 any In the land.

help him bind together in one common
very poor. between whom the great gulf
Fixed Is grown 50 wide as only just to be
spanned by kind words now; and when
that thread once breaks, fire and sword
will leap across it instead d,-when, say,
the poor parson needed such gentle
help, he asked Nelly to be his wife.
And all the parish knows that the par

have talked Of the poor and their
long. suffering and their patient poverty;
but think Of the poverty of the rich, and
OF their privations. Do you know that
all the real pleasures which healthy
mind can enjoy come from sources free
to al, without money and without price,
Ia freehold forever, to the poorest Of
us, which can neither be bought nor
sold. nor taken away Like the air we
breathe, and like tho wild flowers God
sows for Us, it is very easy to mistake
for valueless things which are only
priceless. And this it is that makes
rich people 80 poor. and oftentimes SO
cross and ill-tempered; they expect too
much from money,-expect it to buy
pleasure, which ia just what money can't
buy. il will buy excitements and com
forts and position in society, and q
whole host Of things to while away the
slipping hours before Judgment. Good,
honest money, which represents mans
own labor and toll, with head or hands,
for the benefit of his fellows, brings
with It a zest and q piquancy which idle
accumulators and inheritors Of stored up
wealth would give = heavy price to ex.
perience. But no miser has wealth
enough to buy such cheap things as love
and charity, and good-nature, and real,
earnest fellowship and friendship with
his kind; for wealth sears the mind and
affections. and blunts the senses TO the
sweetest and most delicate chords OF
heaven's music which -vibrate on earth
for him that hath ears to hear. Doth
not wealth eat as doth q canker /? Does
the gold never burn when it comes to q

SON : Of those 81 igantic swindles our laws
don't touch Do not mans groans nor
woman's tears go with the gold to gnaw
his heart into foreboding Of the sure
Judgment of the Almighty Who says
gold is treasure that doth not rust !?
The difference between boarding iron
and boarding gold is only this,-they
both rust,-the rust Of the iron abides
in the iron, but the rust Of the gold
even honest gold-enters the soul of the
man and cakes over that. It isn't the
gold gets the injury IL it were, it
wouldn't matter about being rich man.
James would never havc cried, "Go to,
bow, ye rich men, weep and howl for
the miseries which shall come upon
vou;" nor would He, who came as
poor man, have said, "A rich man shall
hardly enter the Kingdom"
