False pride is the .father of
huuibuggery, the parent of fraud
We are humbugs because we de
sire tint our fellows think us bet
ler, braver brighter, pcliaps
richer than we r re. We practice
iiumbujg-rv to at'ain social po
sition ti.i which we are entitled
by neither birth 101 brains, to
acquire wea h i r which wc ren
der no equivalent, to procure
• ower we c into, wi-clv employ.
While proc'dm ng love of dem
ocraey,we purchase peers for
cur daughters. While b aiting
.ioerty of sp-ech, we assail like
demons tici-e w:io prc-muc to
dissent from our opinions in ei
ther religion or politics.
Hi-tory is full of humbugs
and liberty in-, i oftentimes, but
a gi’dedjlie. No man is really
free who is dependeut upon the
goodwill of oth rs for eiuploy
tnct t. Tl et . , In no true li
berty where prejudice usurps
he throne of ri .sou. ’Men are
slaves instc-.-d of freem-u when
th y suffat t c lv >s to Le held
in iron thrall i v political dog
tua or religious cr cd, blindly
accepting the i: e : .sit of others
in-tead of cs:ivi:-i:i to the ut
most the it. eh ct which nature
Hath given them.
Charity it-elh is oftentimes a
* i
humbug. Lie so when it be-i
coaies the baud maid of ostenta-j
tion, instead of (be true almoner
(lie heart; or when men give to
die poor only because it is“lend
iug to the Lord” thou expect
compound interest.
That philanthropist is a fraud
who, after piling no a colossal
' ' mine at ilie expense of the
j common people, leaves it, to

Uvnurv instiiute when death

! Knowing that Churion’s boat is
1 purely a passenger packet—that,
it carries no freight, however
precious—he drops his dollar
a sigh, but, determined to reap

found seine charitable fake to!
prevent himself being forgotten, |
some pitiful instiiute where a1
few of the wretched victims of
bn rapacious greed may get a
p ate of s al vation soup or a
prayer book, and Mess their ben
a factor's name. The very mon
ument erected over the bones of
lie sanctimonious old skin-flint
is a fraud; flaunts a string of co
lossal falsehoods in the face of
the world; piously points toliea;
Yen—perhaps to indicate that Sa
tan refused him and sent him

that he make other arrange
ments.
There is a syndicate of English
lords otuIc ; iand in M.x'oo which j
