ONE THOUSAND FAMOUS THINGS ®3

Two Rich Men

THERE is a story of a man whom others called poor and who had
just enough fortune to support himself in going about the country
in the simplest way and studying and enjoying the life and beauty
of it. He was once in the company of a great millionaire who was
engaged in business, working at it daily and getting richer every
year, and the poor man said to the millionaire : I am a richer
man than you are.

How do you make that out ? said the millionaire.

Why (he replied), I have got as much money as I want and you
have not. Lord Grey of Fallodon

thou busy world ! and may

L* We never meet again ;
Here can I eat, and sleep, and pray?
And do more good in one short day
Than he who his whole age outwears
Upon the most conspicuous theatres,
Where naught but vanity and vice do reign.
Great God ! how sweet are all things here I
How beautiful the fields appear I
How cleanly do we feed and lie !
Lord I what good hours do we keep !
How quietly we sleep I Charles Cotton on arriving

She is a Winsome Wee Thing
SHE is a winsome wee thing,
She is a handsome wee thing,
„ She is a bonnie wee thing,
This sweet wee wife o' mine.
I never saw a fairer,
I never loved a dearer,
And neist my heart I'll wear her,
For fear my jewel tine.
She is a winsome wee thing,
She is a handsome wee thing,
She is a bonnie wee thing,
This sweet wee wife o* mine.

And think my lot divine,
