Rich Enough

Welcome', said Mr. Draper, the rich merchant, to his brother, who entered his counting-room one fine spring morning. I am truly glad to see you--but what has brought you to the city, at this _busy country_ season, when ploughing and planting are its life and sinews? I am not seeking to make a fortune, said Howard, quietly;--my object is to secure something for my family in case of accident, and I only want to invest what I do not require for present use in a manner that will bring compound interest. I hope not to be obliged to take up the interest for many years, but to be adding it to the principal, with such sums as I may be able to spare from our daily exertions.
