POVERTY


Men are naturally INDECENT They
love to take their ease, and are, there
fore. averse to active effort 1t is not
uncommon to find capacity for mental
labor combined with reluctance to un-
dertake it. An indolent. capable man
finds it painful to set his mind in mo.
ton. His inertia must be overcome by
force outside of himself Many men,
afterward eminent lawyers, artists, in
ventors and even preachers, were made
to exert themselves at the beginning Of
their careers. by the pressure of poverty.
The eloquent Erskine, after hs had
attained fame and fortune, often said
he would have failed had he not felt his
wife and children twitching at his
gown. Sir Samuel Romilly, the great
est chancery lawyer of his day, worked
up 70 an income of fifty thousand dol
lars yea, equivalent to more than .
hundred thousand dollars in these days.

he had small fortune. and thought of
buying with it the lucrative position of
. clerk of the court But his father, .
jeweler. was in straitened circumstances,
and the pious son turned the money
over to him. and went to work.

favor to you. 1 saw that you had

yon industrious"
Baron Tenterden, Lord Chief Justice
of England, was BARRIERS son. and
used to 60 about the streets of Canter-
bury Is ON attendant of his father.
when he went from house to house to
serve his customers. One day, after
the BARRIERS boy had become Chief
Justice. he visited Canterbury Cathe-
dral in company with friend The
choir was singing. and tho friend
praised the voice of . certain choris-
ter.
"Ahr' said the Chief Justice; ''that
is the only man I ever enviedL When
at school in his town. we were candi-
dates for chorister place, and b OBJ.
tanned it."
The disappointed boy, who needed
the small salary. was consoled by the
gift of an Oxford scholarship. Poverty
made him study, for he had his own
way to make through the world. in
due time he gained . Fellowship. whose
income supported him while studying
law.
When he was called to the bar, he
had to contend with . husky voice, a
leaden face, and q painful bashfulness.
But poverty made him diligent work.
or, and in few years his fees amounted
to forty thousand dollars year.
Kenyon. another eminent English
lawyer. was SO poor when he began
practice, that he used to dine at q
cheap clearinghouse. where dinners
were supplied for fifteen cents. When
he was Chief-Justice. he gave this ad-
vice to young lawyer:
''Spond your own fortune, marry.
and spend your wife's. and then you
will have some chance of succeeding in
the law" TIoaM's Companion.
