I was brought up a9 a weaver, as my father was before me. I was a good hand at my trade, and I worked steadily at it.— When about twenty-four years of age 1 married a girl who was also a weaver.— She was quiet, amiable, and industrious, and made me an excellent wife. \V e soon had a family ; but as we were in con stant and good work, we not only contnv ved to keep the wolf from the door, but lived in comfort and respectability as well. We worked for many years for the same firm, one of the largest in Eugland, doing our work well, and never during the whole time wronged our employers to the value of an ounce of silk. When I was about thirty-five years of age, the head partner sent for me, saying he wanted to speak to me on a matter of great importance. I, of course, present ed myself at the office, and shortly after ward was ushered into his room. "C— ," he said, "we have always been much satisfied with your behavior, and uow we are going to advance you.— The under-foreman in our receiving-room is going to leave us, and you may have his appointment, if you like. Your wages will be thirty-five shillings a week, and your wife can work as before." You may easily believe I was overjoyed at the offer, while I immediately assented ; and two days afterward I entered on my duties. They were very light, and con sisted principally in receiving the work brought home by the weavers, examiuing it to see that it was properly done, and giving out the bobbins for fresh work.— Times were now very flourishing with us, and we earned enough sufficient to give our children a good education. My em ployers were perfectly satisfied with me, and I worked on soberly and honestly. After I had been seven years an under foreman, the foreman one day died sudden ly : and I was most anxious to know who was to succeed him, as he had been a very good friend to me, and we had worked on very amicably together. My doubts at last terminated in a very satisfactory manner. The head partner sent for me one morning, and told me the firm were so pleased with my steady behavior that they had determined to offer me the situation of foreman, with a salary of two hundred a year, to be paid quarterly. 1 was, natural ly delighted at the intelligence, as I con sidered my fortune as good as made. I thanked the head of the firm most grate fully for his kindness, and assured him that eveiy effort should be made ou my part to give him satisfaction. "Of that lam assured, Mr. C he said (it was the first time he had called me "Mister," and I was not a little flat tared by it;) "you can now enter on your duties as soon as you please." When in the evening, I told my wife of our good fortune, she was completely over whelmed by it, and for some time could hardly realize it; but when I told her the head partner had called rae "Mr. C she said. "I am sure you would make as good a gentleman as any of them." "Fair and softly, my dear," said I. "Let us first feci our feet, aud then we will talk of that afterward." My duties now were not more severe than formerly, but far more responsible ; for I was entrusted with considerable sums of money to pay the workmen. I had al so an under foreman to assist me, who was a sharp, clever fellow : and we got on ve ry well together. Once a week my books were audited by the firm, and I was fre quently complimented not only on mv ex actitude, but also, as I was a good pen man, on the neat manner in which they were kept. Although ray income was now two hun dred a year, it had not increased much in reality ; for it had been suggested to me that now I was in a situation of trust and responsibility, it was hardly just that I should allow my wife to drudge like a common weaver. I, without hesitation, admitted the justice of the remark, but I hardly thought my wife would agree to it; however, I was determined to try her, so I told her when I went homo in the evening that I hardly thought it right that she should continue at the loom, consider ing the position in life we were now in.— To ray great surprise my wife not only made no objection, but positively told me she had already thought so; and she had wished to speak to me on the subject, but did not like to, as she was afraid I should think her lazy. Although my wife had now given up her loom, she was by no means idle. Uu like most weavers' wives, she was an ex pert needle-woman, and she occupied her self in making the children's dresses. — True, she had always done so before, and had had time for the loom as well; but now we were in a more genteel position, the children had to be better dressed, and, of course a good deal more needle-work had to be done; but, as my daughters were now old enough to help their mother it wap no great increase of expense after all. After I had been a few months in my new position my wife one night said to ine, "Our landlord called to-day, and I paid him for the quarter. He talks about increasing our rent lie says you have had the house too cheap for some time past, considering the rate of rents in the neighborhood." "I shall not pay any more than Ido now," I replied, "and it is a shameful thing for him to want it, considering how long I have been his tenant. I would rather look for another house than pay a shilling more than I do at present." "Well, dear," said my wife, "and 1 think you are right, Besides, there's an- " To Speak his Thoughts is Every Freeman's Right. " other thing that strikes me. We are liv ing here with common weavers, and mix ing with them, which is not quite right considering the difference in our position. And then the girls are growing up, and they ought to do something better than marry weavers." I was struck with the justice of my wife's remark, and requested her to look out for another lodging or house, which she promised to do. The next day when I returned home I found my wife had busied herself in find ing a new dwelling for us. She had set her mind on one in the Hoxton road. It was certainly considerable larger than our own, and much more expensive. V\ e were paying twenty-five pouuds a year, and this was forty without taxes. It was. however, far more respectable, my wife said, than the one we were then living in Fleur de Lis street, and she has hit upon a plan to make it less expensive that it appeared at first sight. It was to be let oft'the first floor to some single gentlemen who was employed in the city in the (lav time, so that in point of fact we should have all the credit for the appearance of the house, and not be at any higher rent than we then were. I complimented my wife on her excel lent arrangements; the house was taken, aud in a few weeks we were iu possession. But although the rent of the house wo'J not be more than our old one when, we had let oft'the first floor, and the appear ance we 6hould create would be far great er, tliere was the expense of furnishing to be taken into consideration This some what crippled us for the moment, but my wife said in a short time she would make up the amount by the rent of the rooms. We found without difficulty a tenant for for ou| first floor, a young man, clerk in an insurance office. He was a quiet, or derly young fellow enough, paid regular ly his rent every week. I now proposed that we should begin economizing the money we had paid for the extra furniture, but she objected to do so till later, as she had other expenses to meet at the mo ment. I inquired what they might be. "Why, my dear," said my wife, "it is utterly impossible that the girls and I can dress now in the manner we did in Fleur de Lis street, when we were living among weavers. The people about here are ve ry genteel, and I don't like to dress differ ent from our neighbors. We are now in a good position, and we ought to make a better appearance." I foolishly admitted her arguments, and we not only put off saving the money for the furniture, but we got somewhat into debt for the purchase of new clothes as well. When my wife had obtained the new dresses, for herself and children, they certainly looked very well in them, and I was, 1 admit, very proud of my family; but, unfortunately, after the purchase had been made, we did not save the money we had expended on the furniture. We continued to live on quietly enough, but we spent, I am sorry to say, somewhat more than our income, though not to such an extent as to cause us any uneasiness.— I, however, was obliged to apply to a loan office for assistance, which I had do Uilfi culty in obtaining; and as I contrived to pay up the interest, the atl'air gave mo ve ry little trouble, I have told you the commencement of our misfortunes, I will now tell you how gentility ended. My wife's love for dress increased, and with it our expenditure, but our income remained the same. At last my wife confided to me that the clerk on the first floor had begun to show great at tention to Charlotte, our eldest daughter, and she had every reason to believe it would end in an offer. His family, she said, were very respectable, and it would be an excellent match ; and >lie considered the best thing we could do would be to get acquainted with them. I told her we must be careful what we did. I bad no objection to make the acquaintance of the young fellow's family ; but at the same time we must be very careful not to in crease our expenditure, as I had already great difficulty in kt-epiog up the pay ment of the interest of the money 1 had borrowed from the loan office. "My dear," said my wife, "what non sense you talk I How is it possible we can mix with people in a better position of life than ourselves, and spend no more than we do now ?" "How much money should you want?" I inquired. "I do not exactly know. I must get the girls some new dresses, aud we must cut a dash a little. You know, after all," she said, "that if he married Charlotte, you will not be at the expense of maintaining her; so, in the long run, it will be no loss to us." I gave in to her plan, and I applied at the loan office for more money, but to my great annoyance I experienced this time considerable difficulty. However, I got the money at last, and my wife bought Charlotte some new things, and we got in timate with the clerk's family, who appear ed like very genteel people, and took to us immensely. We visited at each other's houses occasionally, and at last the young fellow proposed for Charlotte. Everything with the exception of my increasing debts, went on flouri.-bing. Ou one occasion we went to a dinner party at the house of the clerk's grandtather, an old solicitor, for the purpose of introducing Charlotte to him. My wife, as we wero preparing to leave home, appeared very nervous, and after fidgeting about for some lime, said, " The old gentleman is a very sharp fel low, my dear. Take care that you dw not let auytbing fall that will allow that we were at one time only weavers, because he imagines we are far higher folks than we suppose. 'T do not wish to speak about family matters at all, I ' l said ; "at any rate you need not be afraid of me. But what makes you think they believe we are better off than we are." "Well, my dear," said my wife,'coloring slightly, "I don't know how it occurred, but they all believe you are like to be taken into the house as a partner.'' I was exceedingly angry when I heard this, and I inquired of my wife from what source such an infamous falsehood proceed ed. She replied that she did not know ; but implored me so strenuously, and at the same time with so guilty a look on her coun tenance, that iu case it were mctiioned I would not contradict it, that I fully perceiv ed it was a piece of boasting of her own. I scolded her severely on the matter,and told her that if it were spoken of I should certainly contradict it. Fortunately noth ing on the subject was mentioned during the evening, and altbougu it was a source of quarrel between me and mj wife for some days afterward, the affair at last died away. We had now to invite the old solicitor and the family to dine with us ; but before the day arrived 1 found my wife had got considerably into debt in the neighborhood, and J was again obliged to go to the loan office for assistance. The secretary said they would consider my application and let me know the result; and in a few days the decision came. It was not only that they refused to advance any more money, but that when my outstanding bills were due they should press for the full-amount. The news came like a clap of thunder on me. What to do I knew not, or where to find the money. To add to my sorrow, six months' rent was owing on the house and the landlord was pressing for it.— However, I iditit my eyes to the circum stauee for the moment, resolving that as soon as the dinner party should be over, I would turn over a new leaf and insist on far greater economy being practiced in the house* The day arrived for the dinner party, for which my wife had made great prepar ations. Before leaving the house I took the opportunity of requesting her to be as moderate ir. all Ibis as she could, and was the point of leaving her, when a knock was heard at the door and a broker's man entered with a distress warrant for the six months' rent. I was perfectly aghast when lie told me his errand; but 1 was power less ; I had not twenty shillings in the house, and it wanted a month before my next quarter's salary would be due. 1 had no alternative but to k-ave him in posses sion ; and with a heavy heart 1 proceeded to business, I got on as best I could until the time arrived when I was accustomed to take my dinner. Being to dine at home that day, I went to a neighboring public house to get my lunch. As I was seated at the table the gloomy aspect of my affairs came before me, and my eyes filled with tears. Ashamed of my low spirits, and seeing the necessity of my rousing myself, I called for a glass of spirits and water, although ordinarily a most sober man. As 1 drank it inv courage revived, and I began to think in what way I could retrieye myself. But one way presented itself to my mind, and that was a most rigid retrenchment. This I firmly resolved on practicing,even against any opposition on tiie part of my wife; but still the disagreeable fact presented itself to my mind, that a broker's man was in possession, and that the same day we were going to give an extravagant dinner patty. Something must be done, but what 1 To brighten up my thoughts I called for an other glass of spirits and water. As I drank it the idea came to my mind that a considerable sum of money was at that moment in my possession, but it was my employers'. Why could I not borrow some without their knowing it ? If I could pay but the brokei's man 1 should redeem to a certain extent my credit. To-morrow, I argued, 1 will sell off' everything and re place the amount. The sale of my furni ture would be enough for that, and the payment of the mouey I owed to the loan office as well. The idea then occurred to me that my wife might oppose me, but I silently and solemnly swore that no persua sion of her's should induce me to altar my determination. I now returned to the house of business. There was a considerable sum in the till, of which I kept the key—more than one hundred and fifty pounds, I took from it, trembling the while like a leaf, the money I inquired and not a shilling more, and shortly afterward, pleading a violent head ache, I ictnrni d home and paid out the broker, to the great joy of my wife. The dinner passed off in a most satisfac tory manner, although perhaps it appeared more so to me than Tt really was from the quantity of wine I was obliged to drink to drown the thought of the action I had com mitted. The next morning I rose with a severe headache; and my wife was so overcome with her exertions the day be fore that 1 left her in bed when I went to business. However, I argued, it matters but little; the next day would be Sunday, and then I should have time and opportunity to express my determination to my wife, for I was fully resolved to sell every stick of Furniture I possessed, and enter some cheap and ready-furnished lodgings nearer to the house of business. On the Sunday 1 told my wife the resolu tion I had come to, and a terrible scene we had of it. She accused me of gross cruel ty and meanness. She told me at least I might have waited till the wedding was over, and then she would have offered no word of objection. Many times I was on the point of telling her of the desperate ' action I had committed, for I would not acknowledge to myself it was a dishonest one, although I should have considered it itifamons in another. Charlotte at last came to my wife's aid, and her tears quite 6ubdued my courage. As the license for marriage had already been obtained, I at last gave way ; and it was understood be tween us, that as soon as the marriage came off, which was to take place iu a foit night, my plan would be adopted. One morning in the next week I receiv ed a message from the firm to attend at the city house of business about some altera tion iu my duties. I immediati ly suspect ed there was some change to be made in the manner of paying the weavers, which had already been hinted at once or twice, and that my accounts would be audited on the next Saturday, the last in the month When 1 arrived there was no one in the connting rocm, and on the desk was a new blank check-book. The devil prompted me, and I neatly abstracted from it a blank check and put in my pocket. When I saw the head partner he received me very coolly, and told me that on the next Sat urday my books were to be examined and, a new system was to be adopted. I prom ised everything should be in readiness, and left him. I was now desperate, and I resolved on forging my employers' name to a check for one hundred pounds ; but when 1 took the pen in my hand 1 lost all courage.-- Still, I argued, it must be done ; and 1 went to the public house, and after drink ing two glasses of gin and water, 1 had suf ficient nerve to commit the forgery. But now, how was 1 to get the check cashed ? At last I remembered that ray daughter's suitor was to call in the eve ning, and I resolved to make him my tool. When* I arrived at home I again applied to the bottle for courage, and as he was leaving the house I told him I should be obliged to him if he would get a check cashed for me at the London and County Bank the next day, and bring me the money in the evening. He readily prom ised to do so, and kept his word ; but un fortunately he was personally acquainted with the ca-hicr, and they had some little conversation together on difl'erent subjects. To shorten a sad story, the fraud was de tected ar.d I was tried and found guilty, — My employers recommended me to mercy on account of my previous good character, and I was sentenced to only three years' imprisonment. My daughter's mariiage was of course broken off, and tny w ife has since died of a broken heart. Some wea vers kindly assisted my children, but the youngest were sent to the work-house and my family broken up. I have paid dearly enough for a couple of years' gentility.— When I leave here, God only knows what I shall do ; my character is gone, and no body will employ me. TROUBLES OF THE NEWLY-RICH. Except the very poor who actually lack the necessaries of life, there is no class which has a stronger claim to public sym pathy than the newly rich, whose numbers have so increased among us within five years. A remarkable case of this kind is thus related: Ten years ago, in a town thirty miles from Boston, lived a worthy mechanic, who had accumulated by hard work at his trade a few thousand dollars, He was induced to invest his savings in a manulacturing enterprise, and in three or four years found himself a rich man. Now he is supposed to be worth not less than half a million.— He is a good uatured, ignorant man, who is by no means puffed up by his goijd for tune ; he says that his success is due to no merits of his own; that whatever be touches turns to money, and he can't help it. He is simple in his tastes, and would like to live on as he lived so many years ) and as thousands of New England mechan ics live, But he has a wife and several daughters, and the poor man is overruled. Last winter they must live at a hotel in town, and sport a carriage and pair, which they did, of course, and this summer they must have a summer residence. So, being attached to the place of their birth, and perhaps laudably solicitous to impress tbeir old neighbors with a sense of their pecun iary importance, they bought a handsome house at O , and proceeded to furnish it in the most sumptuous style. But in the midst of this luxury the mistress there of is miserable* She has secured the ser vices of two ladies who have lived abroad, and have also been residents of houses on Fifth avenue, and they have taken upon themselves the entire charge of the house hold. The poor lady says she does not know a single dish that comes on the table —all is French. ABOUT HATING.— Hate not. It is not worth while, Your life is not long enough to make it pay to cherish ill will or hard thoughts toward any one. What if that man has cheated you, or that woman has played yon false ?
