The Joy of Poverty.
From Harpers Weekly.

FROM harper weekly.
II is common to hear people wish for
great riches even common to hear fairly
wise people. who. having seen something
of the world. shrink from so unworthy
demand wish for few thousands more
than they have. fondly believing. against

freedom from care and things; but real
freedom Is poverty. The best way to avoid
the care of silver and fine dishes and table
napkins Ia not to have them. and the lift

It's only God can be had for the asking.
There is no price set upon the air and.

these are the gifts of poverty. Every one
admits In half-hearted way that life Is
too complex to be pleasant, but few take
stringent measures to relieve themselves
of the complexity. For things have power.
If we live with them too much we fall un.
suspectingly into their power, and as old

accommodate twelve more passengers. The
