' So goes the world ; if wealthy, you may call This friend, That brother : friends and brothers all: Though you arc worthless witless never mind it : You may have been a stable-boy what then.? 'Tis wealth, good Sir, makes honorable men.. You seek respect, no doubt, and you will find it. But if yon are poor, heaven help you ! though your sire Had royal blood within him, and though you Possess the intellect of angels too, 'Tis all in vain ; the world will ne'er inquire On such a score : Whj should it take the pains ! 'Tis easier to weigh purses, sure, than brains. I saw once a poor devil, keen and clever, Witty and wise : he paid a man a visit, And no one noticed him, and no one ever Gave him a welcome. " Strange," cried I, " whence is it ?" He walked on this side, then on that, He tried to introduce a social chat ; Now here, now there, in vain he tried ; And some Said bv their silence " Better stav at home." A rich man burst the door, As Crcrsus rich I'm sure, He could not pride himself upon his wit Nor wisdom for he had not got a bit : He had what's better, he had wealth. What a confusion ! all stand up erect These crowd around to ask him his health ; These bow in honest duty and respect ; And these arrange a sofa or a chair, And these conduct him there. Allow me, Sir, the honor;" then a bow Down to the earth Is't possible to show Meet gratitude for such kind condescension ? The poor man hung his head, And to himself he said, "This is indeed beyond my comprehension Then looking round One friendly face he found, And said "Pray tell me why is wealth preferred To wisdom r " " That's a silly question, friend !" Replied the other " have you never heard, A man may lend his store Of gold or silver ore, But wisdom none can borrow, none can lend ?" LAWS OF N. CAROLINA.
