laixinr The Pnar n Chance.

Give the poor man a chance? My
son, the poor man takes about all the
chances without waiting to have one
given him. If you give him any more
chances than he takes he will soon own
everything and run the Texas man out
of the country. The fact is. we must
curtail the poor mans chances a little.
We must sit down on him and hold him
down and give the rich man a chance.
The poor man has had things his own way
too long. He has crowded the rich man
out. But for the poor man this Old World
would have cast anchor six thousand
years ago, and be covered with moss and
lichens to-day, like a United States man
of-war Edgar Allan Poe was the son of
strolling players; George Peabody was a
boy in a small grocery Benjamin
Franklin, the printer, was the son OF
tallow-chandler John Adams was the
son of a poor farmer Clifford, the first
editor of the Quarterly Review, was
common sailor Ben. Jonson-rare Ben.
Jonson-was a bricklayer the father of
Shakespeare couldn't spell and couldn't
write his own name-neither can you
even his illustrious son couldn't spell
it twice alike; Robert Burns was
child OF poverty. the eldest OF seven
children, the family OF poor bankrupt;
John Milton was the son OF scriyener
Andrew Jackson was the son OF poor
Irishman Andrew johnson was tailor
Garfield was a boy OF all work, too poor
even to have a regular trade Grant was
q tanner; Lincoln a keel-boatman and
common farm hand, and the Prince of
Wales is the son Of Queen. 1t is his
misfortune. not his fault he couldn't
help it, and he can't help it now. But
you see, my dear boy, that's all
there is of him he's just the Prince Of
Wales, and he's only that because he
can't help it. Be thankful, my son. that
you weren't born prince be glad that
you didn't strike twelve the first time.
II there is q patch on your knee and
your elbows are glossy there is some
hope for you, but never again let me
hear you say that the poor man has no
chance. True, a poor lawyer, a poor
DOCTOR a poor printer, poor workman
OF any kind has no chance; he deserves
to have none, but the poor man monopo-
Lies about all the chances there are.
Put Laban and Jacob in business to-
gether anywhere, and in about fifteen
years Jacob will not only own about four
fifths OF the cattle. but he will have mar
ried about one half his partners family.
Go to, my son-let us give the rich man
a chance. ROBERT j. BURDETTE.

When Davie Elshandar, of Galston,
Ayrshire, was employed with the drainers
in the neighborhood OF the msnse at
London, the minister being the late Rev.
DIR. Norman Macleod. the latter had
passed through his own backyard to the
field where Davie was working, and find
ing him sitting by the dykeside eating his
dinner, he accosted him with "Weel,
Dayie, ye're at your dinner" "Jist that,
Mr.. Macleod" "Did We say grace now
before you began?" "No, Mr.. Mac
leod, said nae grace" "Ah, but, Da-
vie, you should aye ask blessing on
your meals, or yoa Gamma expect to
thrive" "Weel, maybe you're RIGHT,
MIR. Macleod but did you notice that
muckle black 500 as We cam through the
Yard ?" "No, Davie, j took no notice /;
but what about the soo?" "Weel, DIR.

New Hampshire is small State and
has few artists to the acre, but a teacher
of drawing named Arson X. Cross has
patented an easel which has the merit OF
keeping a picture where it has been

lecture in st. Margaret's. Arbroath. on
Sunday evening. January 2sth. TO an
audience which filed the church, on
"The Theology Of the Poet Burns" The
reverend gentleman pointed out that re-

variance with the orthodox views then
held, but showed from his writings that
he was nevertheless more in sympathy
with the teachings OF Christ than we're

AZ The Wrong Win.lo,y.

A good story is told by tho Troy IN. "
Tines at the expense Of the Amherst Col
lege Glee Club. About ten years ago tho
club made g. trip through New York State,
and sung in Rochester at the same time that
Kate Pcnnoyer, a pretty stage singer, was
there. After the concert it was proposed to
serenade the lady, and the club proceeded
to her home and struck up the familiar col
lege hymn, "Dear Evelna," paraphrasing
the chorus thusly:
Dear Kate Pcnnoyer,
Sweet Kate Pennoyer,
Our love for thee
Shall never, never die
After singing the entire song the boys
waited moment for a recognition Of their
serenade. Slowly window in the third
story was raised, later man clothed in
robes Of white and with whiskers foot long
was seen, and then bass solo was waited
down to the collegians:
''Dear boys below there,
Sweet boys below there
Your Kate Pennoyer UM
Lives four doors below here"
AS the Last words Of his song died on the
frosty air, the Amherst College Gltt Club
gathered themselves up like Arabs aud as
silently stole away: l5. II -
