RICHES AND FRIENDSHIP. 
A certain man of vast estate, 
And generous mind withal, 
So freely spent it on his friends. 
He soon had none at all. 
His fickle friends discovered this, 
And then their worth they showed; 
They left him, nor e’en paid the debt 
Of gratitude they owed. 
Ere long the man got rich again, 
Much richer than before; 
And those who then received so much 
Came now—expecting more! 
The man had by this time, howe’er, 
A lesson great been taugnt; 
And straight he sent all away, 
With the large sum of—naught! 
Friends, he had learned, do round us flock, 
When we are rich and great; 
But when want comes and troubles rise, 
They leave us to our fate. 
And he had learned what oft is seen, 
When friends are in request, 
That those of whom we think the least 
Turn out to be the best.

to a friend, and at the same time observed 
he had never given his horse a name. “I

call him ‘Pepper-caster.’ ”

The man who “found his level” was a 
carpenter, of course. 
There is but one virtue, the eternal sacri¬ 
fice of self .—George Sand. 
While the very young daughter of a 
country clergyman was playing in the gar¬ 
den one day, a stranger came along and in¬ 
quired if her father was at home. “No,” 
she replied; “but my mother is in the 
house, and she will pray with you, you 
poor miserable sinner.” 
A young man objected to the girl that 
his rich uncle wished him to marry. “You 
mustn’t be so particular,” said the exasper¬ 
ated uncle. “I tell you she’s well enough.’ 
“So she is, uncle,” responded the nephew 
“and you know you’ve always taught me 
to leave well enough alone!” 
“My dear,” said a sentimental maiden to 
her lover, “of what do these autumnal 
tints, this glowing of the skies, this blaz¬ 
ing garniture of the dying year remind 
you?” “Pancakes,” he promptly answered. 
Then she realized for the first time that 
two hearts did not beat as one.
