THE THREE PHILANTHROPISTS.

I. Mr. A., the Professional Philanthropist, who established a Colony

for the Enslavement of the Poor who could not take care of themselves,

amassed a large Fortune thereby, built several churches, and earned

the Epitaph, "He was the Providence of the Poor"--II. Mr. B.,

the Manufacturer, who enriched himself by taking advantage of the

Necessities of the Poor, paid the lowest Rate of Wages, considered

himself one of God's Stewards, endowed the "B Asylum" and the "B

College," never lost a Dollar, and of whom it was recorded, "He Lived

for Others." III. Mr. C., who divided his Profits with the People who had

earned it, established no Public Institutions, suppressed Nobody; and

those who have worked for him said, "He allowed Others to live for

Themselves."
