 "FOt the Poor ye have wiih you alwsys." St. Mark.

 Alias How have we the poor with usi-- There is not perhaps, in the known world, another place where the poor are kept ai such cold and suspicious distance from the rich. as they are in these United States. The poor mus, no. be encouraged. No even spoken to, looked at, or smiled upon. if they have trials and misfortunes, they must bear them in silence, for even their tears are construed into cause to blame them by the unfeeling many who mistake wealth for worth. and foolish arrogance for manly dignity. All intercourse. except that of ser want and master, is rigidly prohibited: and each party kept as entirely distinct from each other ss though one was a God and the other beast.

 Oh, what deplorable state of thIngs!-- How can we possibly expect any reforma- lion or improvement in mind or morals co long as this worse than heathenish trait is so tenaciously persevered in

 No wonder that the genius and virtue of our country are languishing-no wonder that modesty and worth shrink away into the corner, while vicious monsters can hide themselves SO easily in silken folds!

 We must mingie in society. in order to give and receive instruction, to aid and com fort one another; should seek constantly to promote and advance all kinds of rational and social enioyments, instead of selishly hiding tour ligh. under bushel.n

 Are we rich: Our wealth is sacred trust for us to deal out to humanity. Are we rich in grace; IL is heavenly treasure of kind thoughts and sentiments wherewi,h 10 bind up the broken-hear,ed. Are we rich in wis dom and knowledge; ], isan inexbaustible source of precious jewels con6ded to us to scatter along the road side of life.

 Do we chance to be superior in any one accomplishment Then do our poor fellow moiials possess so much greater claim up- OH our good example, our constant patience and forbearance; our kindness, our interest, and our love.
