WHO ARE THE POORp


BY CALEB DUNN.
VINO are the poor! Not always those
Who have the least 10 show,
Nor arc they always found among
The darkest haunts of woe;
= For ono may wear the richest dress
And roll in wealth's galore,
> And still in Heavens perfect sight
T Be poor, aye, very poor.
The brightest skies may ever shine
Above the mansion proud,
And he who dwells within its walls
With want may ne'er he bowed;
The sweetest music ever heard
May feed his listening ear,
And mirth and pleasure fill the cup
Of all the gladsomc year.
Yet poor indeed must be the man
Who owns such Joys as thesc,
If c'cr his heart is coldly closed
TO. others misericsj
And vain is all his store Of gold
If sclfishly he lives,
And, always reaping harvests new,
No charity e'er gives.
Real poverty is In the heart,
'Tis want Of love for man,
'Tis failure to perform good,
To bless whene'er you can;
'Tis lack of love and lack Of faith
In God and His decree,
That the greatest virtue one can own
Is loving charity.
So let us, then, do all we can
To help each other on,
And show that wealth of mind and hear
Which lives when gold is gone;
And let us keep this truth in view
Where'er our steps may lead:
A man may be millionaire
And yet be poor indeed.

willing to vote for the resolution in the Senate
others could not give their support to it in it's

restore peace to both parties in that State.
Besides, the formali consideration of the

SLOWED AWAY.

Willie Morgan is not youth whose char
acter would be at forward to stimulate to
good deeds the average boy by arousing in
his breast spirit of emulation. The fact is,
perhaps, not SO much the f.ult of Willie
Morgan as it is the fault of the world. He is
one OF those little castaways, of which this
earth holds so many, facing life all alone,
brave and careless, and rocking not at all
of the struggle, because he knows naught
of it.
Willie Morgan arrived in this city some
days ago on the ship T. L. Gilcrist, from
Liverpool, and he is still the guest of the
Captain of the vessel He is little chap
about ten years OF age, with quaint, oldish
manner about him, and metal in him from
which true man or very bad one can be
moulded
lie made his appearance Oh the Ship one
day, after she lett port, and he went direct to
the captain and reported that he was aboard
that he felt inclined to take trip on just such
a ship and ha slowed away.
The captain, as captains always are on such
occasions. was angry. ADD ;ndulged in few
remarks, but he accepted the situati II and
sent the little chap forward with instructions
to tell the sailors to take care Of him.
The boy soon gained the good will of the
tars and OF the captain and he is now second
IN command only to the captain himself.
While on the way over some of the sailors

youngster declined, and informed them that he
had not come aboard to work, and he report-
ed to the Captain. That officer relieved him of
that and every other duty the crew might
feel inclined to assign to him, AID took him
in attendance on himself
The account that Willie Morgan gives Of
himself is that he lived on Dennison street.
Liverpool, that he has father and mother,
and five sisters, and that he left them al be-
cause his mother whipped him. He has as
sociated with bad boys as far buck as he can
remember and if his statement is true, has
tumbled through the short space of his life
without a guiding hand.
Dennison street, Liverpool, il on n par. If
not below, the Five Points OF New York, and
the fact that Willie Morgan 1lourished in that
neighborhood gives color to many statements
of his regarding his natural protectors to the
effect that they did not protect him much.
It IS the intention OF the Captain of the
Gilcrist to take Willie Morgan with him on
the return trip and find his parents. His
future course with reference to the boy will
be governed by what his interview with them
develops

there is said to be a difference Of nine thous-
and dollars, and no more. A small amount, it
would seem, for such big spectators as the
faithful leaders are to fl ght over; but in one
bill the total sum appropriated is split up and
divided around more evenly, and in the
division quite number of the deserving
came IN for share whose claims were ignored
In the other
The principal struggle. however, is made
over the appropriation to pay Parish Judges
and the appropriation TO the Charity Hos
pital.
In the original bill, as it passed Hahn's
Wing, there was appropriated to the Charity
Hospital, to make good previous donations
on the part Of the Safe. one hundred and
twelve thousand dollars, but the Parish
judges were entirely omitted.
Antoire's Wing went to work, cut down the
Charity Hospital appropriation to fifty thou
sand dollars, and transferred the i ference
to the payment of the salaries of the Judges;
and by cutting down and transferring from
other appropriations and throwing in some
thousands extra, they swelled the sum set
apart for this purpose to hundred and
thirty-two thousand dollars.
In these amendments Hams Wing refused
to concur.
The Conference Committee in its report did
not recommend them; in fact, said nothing
about them, and Billy Nirgers contends that
the only amendments adopted by the Wing,
even those submitted by the Conference Com
mittee, and in the bill which he has engrossed
the Charity Hospital is recorded as entitled
to one hundred and twelve thousand dollars,
and the Parish judges are not recorded at all.
Bill number two, as put forward by the En-
rolling Committee, has in it the amendments
of Antone's Wing, and by those who favor
this bill it is coutended that where the report
of the Conference Committee is silent the
amendments stand.
