A prominent Wall street banl.eraiid broker, who I reputed to be world about ten millions, walked from his private idllce the other morning iulo Ihe outer room, where was gathered rt number of bis fi lends and customers. He wa laughing to heartily that his chunks wore highly Unshod, nml the merry penis echoed nnd re-echoed through ihu loom. Kveiybody lurned to look tit him, and every oilier face but una worn a sympathetic sinllo. The single exception looked very grave, and watched the merry broker witli intenlness. When the banker's laughter had ceased ho went back into hit otliee, nnd tho grave man said lo u companion : Ho laughs heartily, does ho not? Yes, it is easy for liim to laugh, wlicica it Is very lend for many others. There lire two kinds of men who thoroughly understand and up prei ialo humbler, in whom this ex pression of merriment is spontaneous, lighl-hearied, and without u lingo of Ihu mrcnsilc or bitter. Ono kind is Ihu rich, sueccssf ill men who are be yond oidiiuiry cares nnd harassmcnts, and have learned to enjoy Ihe power of wealth. They can turn from any aunoynnco or (jriet to Iho contempla tion of i heir success and be luippv. Tho ether kind includes thoso ruro be ings who are poor and don't nttcmpt to got rich. The plantation negro is a type of this class, and occasionally one encounters a while man who Is imbuod with the spirit of Iho proverb, As we Journey through life, let us live by (he way.' Itut I must say ihe rich man' luiiglilcr sounds much more musical in my cars. The poor man' contains a lililn detlnuce uud iccklest. liess, no matter bow aiucero It is. It teems to tay, 'Well, hat of it ? I'm poor, but who caret?' The rich man's merriment, on tlio contrary, ii frco from anything objectionable. i car riot with It an intimation or power, and if thero is a suggestion of mi-foil in ii, is lhal an objection? Who would not like lo drink so deep from tho cup of pleasure in to miiko pleasure lose its uovolly ? Wouldn't wo till like to Iry it? I think so. I only nsk that 1 may laugh like tho rich man, seen ro that my merriment today will not bo soured by reveries tomorrow." New York Sun. No More Objections Were Made.
