[Fr_om the London People’: J->urnnl.] WEALTH AND POVERTY. or alone: vvu.sorv.

Wealth and poverty are now abstract and insignificant words. ex- pressing certain ideas, but they are iridicativo of two great social re- alities. The former is regarded by smne as an unspeakable blessing and the bitter by others as an unbearable curse. For our own part we most candidly acknowledge that we have not the least sympathy with these views; we simply look upon the one as a source of pleu- sure and happiness, if it be legitimately used; and the other as a state of discipline to the wise and virtuous, that is capable of devo- lopiug and exalting the best parts of our nature. Both have their disadvantages, temptations, and unfavorable tendencies, and it is well for the rich when they understand the duties and- responsibil- ites which attach to them, and the poor, when they seek for hop i- ness not in external circumstances, but in those higher and nob er blessings-—virtue and religion. l.et us glance at a few of the char- acteristics of these great social cxistences. If we take a view of so- ciety, what shall we behold.’ The symbols of wealth and the badges of poverty, meet the eye everywhere. Splendour and squalor, luxury and want, palaces and hovels, are nntitheses that strike the eye of the most casual observer. Pride and tyranny, disease and crime, vice and ignorance are usually their concomitants. For be it from as to affirm that the latter necessarily result from the former; but alas! in too rnauy instances they are associated with them. To the superficial discerner it would appear as though they were inse- pnrably connected; but it is it pleasing fact there is a class compos- ed of both rich and poor, whose lives demonstrate that such is not the case. They consecrate wealth by the use which they make of it, and they prove that poverty is honorable when it is acccom nnied by moral excellence. \Vhat ii noble si ht it is to behold a ric man who is possessed ofthe bouiities ofProvidence, dispensing them to the poor and afllicted! He visits the homes of the vicious and ignorant, and leaves behind him the footprints oflove and benevolence.—He regards all men as brothers, and treats them as such. Religion, li- terature and education find in him an ardent admirer and a liberal patron. His highest ambition is to elevate hum.-inity, and thereby glorify its Creator. \Vealth in his lionds performs its noblest mission, and he is its truest representative Oh! that this philanthropic spir- it. was infused into the minds ofall the rich and noble in the land. What a mighty impulse would be given to the great work of social reform-society would soon be freed from many of those evils which now press heavily on its bosom. But there is another character that we oflen meet with in society, which is very interesting. See the poor jaded son of toil returning from the factory or workshop; follow him home, and witness the smiles that greet him. How the silver cord oflove has fastened the hearts of those children to their fiither’s; what a picture of earthly bliss! There is nothing gorgeous or costly here, and yet how enchanting. Surel this is a type of that rest which reinniiis for the people of G .’ No discordant sounds are heard, or unseemly sights observed: the moral atrnoe- phere is pure, and all the graces and virtues of the Christian chur- ncter flourish in their beauty. What a great blessing it would be for our country,if there were more who answered to the description we have just given! \Ve know that there are many and we believe that the number is ra idly increasing. The ideas of men are under- going a great change in regard to wealth and poverty: these truthful

and beautiful lines of Burns, that

The rank is but the guinen's stamp, The man's the goud for a’ that,

are beginning to be more a preciated. \‘Vhy should the perishable be valued more than the im rishable? It is virtue that dignifics the man, and if he be poor, lira poverty adds lustre and value to his virtue.

DIAMOND DUST.

If others sin towards us in one respect, we unjustly infer that

the are ready to sin in all. mntla_rited oblivionris buy another name for the ignorance of the many 0 the virtues o the ow.

Luxury—tlie conqueror of conquerors; the consumption of states, the (Ify-I"ll)I of the constitution; the uvengcr of the defeated and the oppresse .

Patience is very good, but perseverance is much better; while the farmer stands as u Stoic under ditliculties, the latter whips them out of the ring.

Long sentences in it short composition, are like large rooms in a little house.

In the condition of men, it frequently happens that grief and anx- iety lie hid under the golden robes of prosperity, and the gloom of calamity is cheered by secret radiations of ope and comfort, as in the works of Nature, the bug is sometimes covered with flowers, and the mine concealed in the barren crags.

Happiness depends upon the prudent constitution of the habits.

Escliewing evil is but the half of the work; we must ulso do good.

Be not too diflident of thyself; those who are always afraid of falling, do nothing but stumble.

To give and to lose is nothing; but to lose and to give still is part of it great mind.

Few people know how brave or how cowardly they really are.

He that indul es negligence will qicltly become ignorant of his own aliiirs, an be that trusts without reserve, will atlnst be de- ceived.

SILENT LOVERS.

An eminent clergyman one evening being the subject of conver- sation, a wonder was expressed that ie had never married. "That wonder," said Miss Porter, " was once expressed to the reverend gentleman in my hearing, and he told a story in answer which I shall tell you; and perhaps, slight as it may seem, it is the histor of other hearts, as sensitive and delicate as his own. Soon after his ordination, he preached, once every Sabbath, for a clergy- man in a small Village not twenty miles from London. Among his auditors, Sunda alter Sundn , he observed a young lady, who occupied a certain seat, and w ose close attention began iasensrbly to grow to him an object of thought and pleasure. She left the church as soon as service was over, and so it chanced that he went on for it year without even knowing her name ; but his sermon was never written without many a thought how she would approve of it, nor preached with satisfaction unless he read approbation in her face. Gradually he began to think of her, at other times when writing sermons, and to wish to see her on other days than Sundays; but the weeks stepped on, and though he fancied she grew paler and thinner, he never brought himself to the resolution either to ask her name or to speak to her. B these silent steps, however, love had worked into his heart, and a made up his mind to seek acquaintance and marry her, if possible ; when one day he was sent for to minister at a " '. The face of the cor was the same that had looked at him Sunday after Sands , til he had learned to make it a part of his religion and his lie. He was unable to perform the service, another clerg man olliciated; and, after she was buried, her father took him aside, and ed his pardon for giving him pain, but he could not resist to tell him, that his daugh- ter liad mentioned his name with her last breath, and he was afraid that a concealed affection for him had hurried her to her grave. “ Since that," said the clergyman in question, " my heart has been dead within me, and I look forward to the time when I shall speak to bar in heaven."

THE SARATOGA CONVENTION.

Several years having elapsed since a General Temperance Con- vention wos held in the United States, it wits thought advisable by some of the riiore prominent labourers in the cause, to call another General Convention, frorri the various Orders and bodies of Tern- perance men in North Aiiiericn, to meet at Suratoga on the 20th tilt. The invitation specified, that the great object for consideration would be legislation with regard to the tratii: in intoxicating drinks, in view ofthe recent action of several States of the Union, espe- cially Maine and Ohio, upon that subject. The response to this appeal came from it lzirge number of the States, and front some of the Provinces. New England being most numerousl represented. The Convention assembled at the appointed time, an held its ses- sion in the Presbyterian Church at Santiago, the delegates filling the lower part of the Church. A committee to nominate ofiicers, reported Chancellor \Valwortli as President, with several Vice- Presidents, and Secretaries. A committee appointed to prepare business for the Convention, reported a series of resolutions, which we give beneath. Those resolutions will be seen to be well suited to the present times; they came chiefly from the pen of D. Justin Edwards, of Andover, and the ltev. John lllarsh of New York; men well known, and justly er-tented for their high ability and inde- fatigable labours in tho Temperance cause.

The Convention continued for two days, having incrning and afternoon sessions, and public meetings in the evening. An ex- cellent spirit prevailed throughout the Convention; the speeches are reported as having been replete with deep and important thought and enibodyin the results of much observation and experience. 'l‘hc address o Dr. Jowitt is highly spoken of; he dwelt at laugh upon the utter folly of endeavouring to regulate the license system —that system being radically and entirely evil—-n cancer in the social body—which could only be cured by being cut out. A Na- tional Address was prepared and pn . ‘, which presents the main history and principles of the great Temperance enterprise. following are the llesolutions adopted by the Convention:

tionol Temperance Convention, we gratefully recognise the good- ness of God in all past successes, and commit the cause of'l‘empe- once to his future guidance and care.

2. Resolve]. That the right and dot of the people by legisla- tion, to defend themselves and their children from the evils of the traffic in intoxicating liquors as a beverage, (which is the respect in which we s eak of it), by its entire prohibition, are in our view plain, and will: we believe, ultimately be acknowledged by all enlightened and patriotic men.

3. Resolved, That the recent discussion and action in several State Legislatures on this subject—the constitutional exclusion of all license in Michigan and Ohio-—and the entire outlaw of the traflic in spirituous and intoxicating liquors, as a beverage, in Maine, are gratifying tokens of advance in ublic sentiment, and give reason to hope, that with the Divine b cssing on judicious and persevering efforts. this immoral and pernicious traflic will cre long, be brought to an end.

4. Received, That ll committee of three be appointed to pre- plare a brief address to the friends of Ternperance throughout the

man, to be presented to this Cunvention.—-( Dr. Marsh was sub- sequently a pointed chairman oftbis committee.)

5. Run val, That as God has given the People in organized and civil government the means of defence from the evils of ,the traffic in intoxicating drinks as a beverage, and as these .menns are the adoption and execution of such legislative enact- ments as shall prevent the continuance of such traflic, we recommend to the friends of Temperance in their respective States, territories, provinces and governments. forthwith to in uire what course ofsction on their part is needed to secure this object, object, and with united hearts and strong hands, earnestly, firmly and perseveringly to pursue it until it is accomplished.

6. Resolved, That all who have wisely and efficiently laboured in this great and good cause, have reason to thank God, and take courage, and while they depend on him for success, to go forward with increasing zeal and energy, till this wicked and destructive truflic shall be done away.

7. Resolved, That the principle assumed and carried out in llfainelaw, that spirituous or intoxicating liquor, kept for sale as a beverage, should be destroyed by the State as a public evil, meets the approbation of this Convention, as consonant with the destruc- tion o the implements of gambling and counterfeiting, of poisonous food, and infectious hides, and won one of war in the lrmds of an enemy;—that ifthe liquor destroye , is private property, it is so only as are the implements of the count-rrfeitar, as dangerous and deadly to the best interest of the community; that its (Ill-‘ll’lIUll0II is no waste of the beauties of Providence. more than the |J4.‘tlII'|JCIlOI of noxious weeds, while its very destruction enriches the State, exceeding the full value for which it would have sold. It tends to put an end to all aubtcrfug-is, and frauds and secret sales, and to the demand for it in tho coimnuiiity. It makes the State tl perfect asylum for the inebrizite. It is it solemn rnnnifestation to the world, of the wild and worthless nature of the article destroyed, and an unmistakable token to the vendor, of the end to which a righteous public sentiment will ultimately bring his business. For these and other reasons, the convention give it their hearty approbation, and they do strongly recommend to all friends of Temperance, to clie- cherish it as the sure and the only sure triumph of ther cause, and continually to urge its ado tion before every legislature.

8. Reroved, That the ineffectual and permanent prohibition of the traflic in intoxicating liquors as a beverage in any one State, will, we hope, he the precursor of its being prohibited in all the States, and the stopping of it in this country, will, we trust, be the forerunner of its bein banished from the world.

9. Resolved, That w erever the trufiic in intoxicating liquors as a beverage is done away, all wise nreans for the promotion of the intellectual elevation, the moral purity, the social happiness, and the highest good of men, may be expected to produce greatly increased and much more beneficial . .

Resolved, That the efforts of the wise and good of all l.-inds for the pro ' of Temperlince, we hail with gludness and great joy, and will unite with them in all 'ndicious measures for the hasten- ing of the time when there ahal not be a drunkard or a drunkard- maker on the globe.

ll. Resolved, That the friends of Temperance in all their efforts be entreated to cultivate a sacred regard to God and good will to all men; that they habituall seek wisdom from Him; and to Him, as the author and finisher 0 all good, ever give the glory of their success.

The correspondent of the New York Observer says :—‘‘These resolution, especially the seventh, elicited a protracted and brilliant discussion. The best feelings prevailed; and when we consider, that it unanimous vote was obtained on these resolutions from Repre- sentatives not only of Maine but Louisiana, not only New York, but South Carolina, representatives of fifteen States, and in Canada, we may well conclude, that it new and fiercer battle has been begun than any yet waged.

(From the Montreal lV£tneas.)

One of the most striking peculiarities of the late Convention, was the harmony and good feeling that prevailed throughout.—There were, in fact, no really conflicting views brought for ward, the only difference being about the manner and extent to which it was de- sirable the Conveution should pronounce its convictions. Another very remarkable and most gratifying characteristic of the Conven- tiun was its piety. Not only were each day’s proceedings com- menced with prayer, but four or five of the twelve resolutions pas- sed, distinctly r nised the dependence of the Temperance cause on the Divine h°:i°rf, the futility of all efforts unaccompanied by the blessing. A few years ago such resolutions would have been scouted at many Temperance meetings in the States as applicable to a cause which it was the delight of speakers to represent as wholly dependent on human benevolence and effort; but at this great gathering of delegates from all quarters, they were unani- mously aniheordially adopted. And here we would any that the frequent and load accusations which have been brought against mi- nisters of religion for standing aloof from the Tempe are not always either in taste or borne out be facts. Had the minis- tsrsof . "_’ w attended this Coaveufi been absent, the as- sembly would have been usmerioally much smaller; and the ag- gregate taleat. zeal, andjadgrnent which it exhibited. as well as the desires it is likely to exert. would have been sadly diari-
