(To be frugal is wise;" and this lesson Of


truth


iould ever be preach'd in the ears of youth.
fne young must be curb'd in their spend-


thr.t haste,


,st meagre want should fellow waste;
But to see the hand that is withcr d and old
b eagerly clutch at the shining gold
h! can it be good that man should crave
Ene dross of the world-so n gh his grave?
ad is the lot Of those who pine


the gloomy depths Of the precious mine!
'It they toll not 81 hard in gaining the ore
5 the Miser is guarding the glittering store: {:
Ie counts the coin with ttasling eye,
I'D trembes the " hile it ii step come nigh; ;
Ie ad IS more wealth, and ii ticndish trace
pfjoy comes DER his shrunken face.
lie seeks the bed where he cannot rest,
lade close beside his idol chest;
Ie wakes with 'wiidrrd, ha.gard stare,
or he dreams Il thiet is busy there;
le searches around-the bolts are fast,
Ind the watchnen Of the night 20 past;
lis Golfers are safe, but there's tear in his


BRAN,


md the Nllser cannot sleep, again.
Ie never filings the blessed mite
10 fl the orphan child with delight;
he d Y may howl, the widow may sigh,
le hears them not they may starve and
die;


lis breast is Of ice, no throbbing glow
Epreads there at the piercing tale of woe;
|AII torpid and cold, he Ii es alone
for his heaps, like the tad embedded in
stone.
Death comes-but the Miser's friendless bier
5 tree from the sobbing mo"rner's tear;
JnlnCd, unwept- grateful one
Viii tell Of the kindly deeds he'd done.
Uh! never covtt the Aliser's fame,
lis cheerl.s IS halo that circles his name;
And me fond h. AT that will truly grieve
\, iii outweigh all the gold we can leave.
