Show Paying the Price. "Is It not some reproach upon tho economy of Providence that such a ono, who la a mean, dirty follow, should have amassed wealth enough to buy hnlf a nation?" Not the least. Ho made himself a mean, dirty follow for that very end. Ho has paid his health, his conscience, his liberty for It; and will you envy him his bargain 1 Will you hang your head and blush In his presonco because ho outshines you In equipage and show? Lift up your brow with a noble confidence, and say to yourself: I have not theso things, It la true; but It Is becauso I havo not sought, becauso I have not desired them; It is because I possess something some-thing better. I have chosen my lot, I am content and satisfied. Anno Lotltla Darbauld. |
