of the year 1868, would be but the tri-
fling sum of a little over SIS; but If the
same principal, at the same rate and
time, had been allowed to accumulate
at compound interest, it would require
the enormous number OF OOO,-

the interest; and if the sum were equal
" divided among the Inhabitants of the
earth, estimated a. 1000, 0OO, 600, every

The Two WiShcrs.

Out I'm the street, this winters day,
a brawny man il shOvcling snow;
Steadily there he works away
With muscular arms and face aglow.
Glad to earn Il pittance for pay, =
Shovcling of the snow.
Unto yes that can only see
The tangible outward. here Is one
Who suffers the stings OF poverty,
Who wcarily drudges from sun to sun,
Whose shackled hours are never free,
Whose work Is never done.
For ragged he Is, and scantIly clad,
And one would DC willing to hazard the
guess
That meat and bread are not TO be had
by him and his in righteousness;
For all his life he has shovcIed through
The drifts of want and distress.
Jet a kcener vision might detect
Some priceless things which belong to
him:
Muscles of iron, q form erect,
An eye that is never glazed or dim,
And the rich, hot blood of perfect health
Coursing through body aud limb.
Now, across the street from the shoyeI-r
stands
A stately mansion, built of stone,
Andthcre, I'm the window, with folded hands
\ pale faced man looks ont alone
Looks out at the laborer over the way,
At the now his shovel has thrown.
Exotic plants in the window bloom,
Shut in by curtains of finest lace,
And scattered about the spacious room
Are all things which bcfit the place;
a poor man might subsist a year
On the cost of that SevrcS vase.
Resting n moment, the shovcler secs
The face IN the window across tho street,
And he thinks: could 1 live like that ut
my ease,
With nothing to do and plenty to eat.
With money and servants and all ut com
mand,
Then surely would life be sweet"
And he YEARLY signs as he turns again
To the work unfinished that waits his
hands;
But his sigh is echoed in sharper pain
by him WHO has called it forth, who stands
Watching the laborcr, while he thinks:
"IIouses and money m lands

"In other words, you refuse mel"
There was a quick resentment in Al
fred Graves's tones, for the refusal of the
woman he loved to be his wife was a
blow at nee to his heart and his varity.
He was not a conceited man, but when
he offered his hand to his sisters gov
erneSs he certainly did not expect a re-
fusal. There had been many meetings
before he spoke, and in some of them he
had thought Hester Stretton's face be-
'trayed her love for him, in spite of the
cold manner that was habitual to her.
Scarcely a man to measure his own
merits by the length of his purse, Al
fred Graves could not quite forget that
he was owner of a fine estate in the
country, several houses in town and five
thousand a year, while Hester Stretton
was his sisters governess. She had
come to Mrs. Evans from a female SEM
injry, with letters of Introduction; had
proved herself Trustworthy with the chill
dren and no one had any desire to prv
into her private affairs during the whole
of the first two years.
Mrs. Evans considered her q treasure
and the children were much attached To
her and progressed rapidly.
Then Alfred came back from abroad
and his sister, offering him the hospital
