The Yazoo City Whig

Contrast In Human Life. We extract the following from the “World of London.” In relation to that vast mart and heterogeneous mass of high and low princes, peers and paupers, it says:— “The World of London at one and the same moment, presents to the bewildered eye ten thousand varying shades and phases, that flit by turns over the passing seasons of human life. The roll of the chariot that rattles proudly over the stones carrying high-born beauty to the petite soiree or the exclusive ball, strikes at the same instant, upon the ear of dying poverty, and shakes the fragile walls of the wretched habitation, where famine, disease, and filth herd in congenial neighbourhood together. While in one place the glittering palace vomits forth its crowd of squalid customers, easily to be recognized by the clayey, corpselike, unearthly expression of their sunken countenances; at another pours forth from some humble chapel the sweetly softened accents of praise and thanksgiving offered up by the children of peace, to the glory of His name, who mercifully sustains them and their little ones in their struggles with the armies of sin and death that surround them on every side, even while, here assembled together they hymn their thankful notes of praise.”
