.1)1), mother, I ‘t-ish I could be as happy
as Ellen is. She is idways cheerful, always
.has a 511/Irl2 WI her face, while 1 am misera
ble as a wicked spirit. And yet I have ev
erything- 1 tVant, while Ellen carns.all she
has by sewing. I tvisb I had been a poor
man's daughter. I know that the pour art'
happier than the wealthy?
Yes, my child, 1 do believe they are.—
Their wants are so few, and their houses
so small, and need so little attention—and
worried• by servants and coin patty with chil
dren to greasethe carpets and soil the em
broidered chairs and ottomans. And they
are not obliged to. keep up their position by
always having the most costly and fashiona
ble furniture. dresses, &c. They merely
want clothes to keep them warm, and some
thing to satisfy hunger, which all who will
work and keep sober call easily obtain. Bill
001:11dint., I hardly think you really wish
to be poor, to give up all refined awl intel
lectual pleasure's. and think merely of how
you will get victuals and clothes.
The poor sewing girl's cheek glew red
and pale alternately, while this conversation
was progressing in her presence ; and dur
ing. the latter clause burned redder nod rod.-
der, until her very brute seemed burning
with indignation and distress. She said
nothing, however, until Airs. Mum left the
apartment, and then in a low calm voice she
inquired— . . .
•130 you really imagine, Al iss Geraldine,
I that pour people think of nothing but how
they may get victuals and ch ?'
• r l'hev seem to bo always laboring for
that cud,' replied the thoughtless girl, -and
it is Only reasonable to suppose, that their
thonehts are with their employment.'
•Von will find very few such ve
ry poorest. :11i:s Geraldine, and Rennit me to
ask - , are not some ainongst the wealth:• not
merely intellectual, but n•hudeprived of their
wealth would be utterly inca pa ble of inaking a
living. Trust it!, there areas many imbeci
les born amine's!. the rich as the poor. The
children id the rich are blest with ever• ad
vanuu-re of educatiim ; and it they are inca
pable ul solid aetpiircincias, they UR! garn
ished wide an outsider shun• of genteel: ac
complishinents ; and so pass through
. the
world admired, and if gentle, they are res
pected and beloved ; when, had their par
ents been poor, they would have been half
witted, improvident, despised creatures.—
But Geraldine, if the poor were really the
inferior nice your mother represents them
to be, how is it that so many of them rise
front their ranks to the highest grades of
science, honor, station and tidies?. Why
is it that some whose giant genius engraved
their names, in eternal adamant, above the
reach of the billows of time, to shed lustre
mankind through all time, was born; lived,
and died poor ?'
this may be, Ellen, but then' you
know the poor are SO apt to be dishonest so
addicted to vice.'

THE RIM AND POOR.
NUMBER 26.
then the poor are so terribly tempted. For
instance, you have everything that you can
deSire, why should you covet other people's
goods. I have only what I can earn, and
a sum of money exposed, which of us would
that I ntnnt divide with others, & if there were
he most tempted to appropriate it ? All
things considered, the poor are honest to a
mimeo!. And as to vice, some of the poor
get drunk ; but oh, how many of the rich
indulge in the same vice. How many rich
men go front the dinner table to the couch_
or bed, really intoxicated. How many of
them keep themselves in a constant state of
excitement with costly wine and brandy,
mid yet pretend to despise the poor fellow
who drinks wiskey in a tavern and staggers
home. Ah, Geraldine, if the golden veil
was lifted from before the temple of wealth
poverty would stand amazed and abhorrent
at the licentiousness, falsehood, intemperance
intrigue, and abominatithi which would be
disclosed to its view.'
Ellen, poverty has one able advo
cate ; but you were not born of poor parents
I know,' said Geraldine.
, Indeed I was, replied Ellen earnestly,
'my father was the son of a poor and honest
bricklayer, and my mother was the daugh
ter of a soldier's widow, who brought up
liree children, by selling in market the pro
duct of a garden which site cultivated with
her own hands. My father was a carpen
ter, and we never wanted •in his life time,
but now my mother is a sickly widow, and
has four boys younger than I am, and I am
only 16, and we find it hard to get along,
and keep the boys at school. But mother
says ii we can support them until they are
