THE VIRTUE of RICH and POOR.

Cant as we may, and as we shall to the end of all
things, it is very much harder for the poor to be
virtuous than it is for the rich; and the good that is
in them, shines the brighter for it. In many a noble
mansion lives a man, the best of husbands and of
fathers, whose private worth in both capacities is justly
lauded to the skies. But bring him here, upon this
crowded deck. Strip from his fair young wife her
silken dress and jewels, unbind her braided hair, stamp
early wrinkles on her brow, pinch her pale cheek with
care and much privation ; array her faded form in
coarsely patched attire ; let there be nothing but his
love to set her forth or deck her out, and you shall pdt
it to the proof indeed. So change his station in the
world, that he shall see in those young things who
climb about his knees—not records of his wealth
and name, but little wrestlers with him for hia
daily bread—so many poachers on his scanty meal
—so many units to divide his every sum of com-
fort, and farther to reduce its small ameunt.
In lieu of the endearments of childhood in its
sweetest aspect, heap upon him all its pains end
wants, its sicknesses and ills, its fretfulness, caprice,,
and querulous endurance ; let its prattle be, not of
engaging infant fancies, but of cold, and thirst, and
hunger ; and if his fatherly affection outlive all this,
and he be patient, 'watchful, tender ; careful of his
children's lives, and mindful always of their joys and
sorrows ; then send him back to Parliament, and Pul-
pit, and to Quarter Sessions, and when he hears fine
talk of the depravity of those who live from hand to
mouth, and labour hard to do it, let him speak up, as
one who knows, and tell those holders forth that they,
by parallel with such a class, should be High Angels
in their daily lives, and lay but humble siege to heaven
at last.
Which of us shall say what he would be, if such
realities, with small relief or change all through his
days, were his! Looking round upon these people;
far from home, houseless, indigent, wandering, weary
with travel and hard living; and seeing how patiently
they nursed and tended their young children ; how
they consulted ever their wants first, then half supplied
their own ; what gentle ministers of hope and faith the
women were; how the men profited by their ex-
ample ; and how v-ry, very seldom,- even a moment's
petulance or harsh complaint broke out among them ;
I felt a stronger love and honour of my kind com e
glowing on my heart, and wished to God there had
been many Atheists in the better part of human na-
ture there, to read with me this simple lesson in the
book of life.—Dichenx' Notes.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
POOLE, Nov. 4.—ln the INorth-West Ward three
Reformers have been returned.
In the South-East Ward the Tories did not dare
to show fight, and Messrs. Durant, Lankester, and
Mullett were returned without opposition. Our
Town Council now consists of 18 Reform Coun-
cillors, three Reform Aldermen, and three Tory Al-
dermen, the latter of whom go out of office next year,
when there will not be a Tory in the whole Council.
At the first municipal election the Tories suc-
ceeded in this borough, by certain means, which have
been inquired into and exposed, both in a Court of
Law and before a Committee of the House of Com-
mons, in returning, and subsequently electing as Al-
dermen,
.17_out of the 24 members of the Council.

By a lavish expenditure of money in the paying of
the rates- of paupers, &c., the Tories succeeded at sub-
sequent elections, until every Reformer was out of the
Council, when their extravagant :demands upon the
pockets of their fellow townsmen, in the shape of
borough rates, and the utter recklessness of their con-
duct as a body, produced that reaction in the public
mind which has ended in our finding ourselves with
only three Tory Aldermen in the Council out of the
24 members ; and they never attend a Council meet-
ing in the mean time. Our expenditure, and conse-
quently, our rates are lessening, and the better-dis-
posed of our Tory townsmen confess that public
matters are now managed as they ought to be, the
Council studying the interest of the Many instead of
that of the I ew.

LONDON :
TUESDAY MOTtNING, NOVEMBER 8, 1842.

The Morning Chronicle yesterday, afte
making a series of observations on the many
strange parties into which the community is
divided, sneering at the extreme opinions )f
some, and the pertinacity with which they tt,:e
adhered to, recommended a renewal of political'
activity.
" Instead," said our Contemporary, "of that general
kind of apathy which prevails at present—that sulky
indifference which characterises some, and that selfish
indifference which characterises others, we should
like to see something like a movement of activity and
life. Something like an indication that the present
social condition, and future welfare of the country,
are not wholly indifferent to public men or private
individuals."

Who may be meant as sulky and sel-
fish, though not named, we can easily guess. It
cannot be the working classes, for they have
recently exhibited great, but mistaken, political
activity in a general and alarming insurrection.
Their associates, the political Chartists, are and
have been in a state of activity too violent for
their own perfect safety. The Complete Suffra-
gists have summoned a convention at Binning._
barn, and they have been lecturing to crowded
audiences throughout the country. Our pages
have testified that the ultra-Reformers of the
metropolis have not been wholly idle. The
uti-Co.rn,4aw League and perkctly free trade
party has commenced a most extensive system of
we; I-organized activity, and needs, according to
the Post, a halter to keep it in, not a spur to
make it gallop. Of the Millentnrians, of whom
e Chronicle speaks, we have no information
hut if they be the Puseyites, or any members of
the diurch, tlhe columns of the public journals
every day prove the increasing activity of the
priesthood. Mr. OWEN and the Socialists, too,
are by no means asleep. Though the Tories, in
the possession of the fruits of victory, have, of all
parties, the least occasion to exert them-
selves, yet the proceedings in the municipal
elections,. at many of which they have
gained advantages, while' the Radicals have
gained in others, and the ‘Vhigs seemed to have
gained nowhere, show that the Tories even have
not been idle. The only persons of whom it can
be said with any truth that they look on with
sulky or selfish indifference, are the leaders of
the Whigs. They have betrayed the Government
into the hands of the Tories, they have placed
the people under the hoof of their old enemies,
they have contributed to bring on the national
difficulties and the national distress, and, with
more regard to selfishness than magnanimity, they
now leave the people to help themselves as they
best can. The Whigs see:no hope of being
restored to office by popular- support,—
speedily
they wait for that possibility till they show them-
selves,
and they are correctly: described by the •
Chronicle as looking on with sulky or selfish in-
