BLESSINGS OF POVERTY.

By Anon.

The story is told of the children of a certain family who, during its prosperity, were left in the nursery in charge of servants. When adversity came, the servants were discharged and the parents lived with the little ones. One evening, when the father had returned home after a day of anxiety and business worry, his little girl clambered on his knee, and, twining her arms around his neck, said: “Papa, don't get rich again. You did not come into the nursery when you were rich, but now we can come around you, and get on your knee and kiss you. Don't get rich again, papa.”—Anon.
