Acts of kindness to the poor made thousands deplore the tragic death of Fisk, and the dark and gloomy days in the life of Tweed. Let Mr. Gould member the old saying, “Every dog has his day.” Let him not be too sure that he can escape such a day. The time may come when men of like knavish dispo- sition will succeed in robbing him of the wealth ob- tained by him. Wall street and Broad street are strewn with the wrecks made by him. It is not impossible that he, too, may become a wreck. At such a time who will sympathize with him, who will say, in tones of regret, “ Poor Gould.” Tur Jcpor does not expect that Mr, Gould, “after reading these lines, will imme- diately begin thé distribution of his property among the poor, but in the language of Wall street, give him a“ pointer” for,a good investment. Of Cyrus W. Field little need be sald, either to him or for him. An appeal for charity to the statue of Frank- lin, in Printing House Square, would receive no less cordial endorsement than a like appeal to Mr. Field ‘Toe Jupar teaves Mr. Vanderbilt, Mr. Gould and Mr. Field to their dinner; leaves them to ponder over what b, why shoul f of those who have suf Can you a ppearance will have to 80 conduct your- n effect upon the ced by Ut bull? wave will ‘omplieh come, has no sympathy with ly swayed by pass! pat least | in the dust is no fault o | was told by Tu from him on the 7th of N be has said. profit by it?
