HUMAN NATURE.
Seat eleven millionaires in an omnibus, and seat
between them one old woman who has but five coppers
in the world, which she intends to invest in that one
ride. When the collector comes in, and the old lady
takes out her antique wallet to pay him, it is curious to
observe the avidity and eagerness with which the millionaires
watch her operations, and peep over to catch a
glimpse at the interior of the wallet. That is human
nature.
