THE LIFE OF A FOURPENCE HALFPENNY.
| had lain dormant in the bowels of the
earth, for forgot how many years, when
by great labor and pains for which | could
not then account, | was brought to the
light of the sun to mingle in the life that
men lead above ground. My first trial
was that of martyr in fiery furnace,
but | came out bright and | was rewarded
by having impressed upon me the image Of
the king my master. | bore his arms, and
went forth a fppenny bit. My first journey
was to Spain, where | was lodged in the
Royal Treasury with many of my former
acquaintauces some of whom from their
superior size, and some from their yellow
compilations, though bearing the same I'M
age and superNription, seemed much great
( er favorites than myself From the Treas
ury was soon sent on my travels, and
though habitually silent gained knowl-
edge of the modern languages so as to
understand them when spoken. | had a
good memory and was very observing for a
! lad of my size, improving my constant OPP
portunities to note the manners and feel
! ings of many individuals, with all of whom
II met kind reception, the more so with
some than with others. 1t would be more
tedious than interesting to tell my travels
I by sea and land, in armies and navies, sail
inn in packets and rafting in stages, and
passing Com hand to hand, sometimes with
the rapdity of fire bucket, till | had
completed the tour of Europe, gone through
all the West, India Islands so us almost &c
number the Inhabitants, black, white and
grey, till after driving many bargain,
found myself in Che United States, which
reioiced my heart, as \ always understood
it was a land of liberty Here the mark
of monarchy which was >aoomed to wear
was nobly disregarded, ami though the
prodigal and thoughtless put lNe soon Oft
there were some more staid and consider
ate persons with whom took up my abode
so long as to become acquainted with their
inmost thoughts. | have been lodged IN
silk, leather, steel, gourd shells, old stock
ings, broken teapots, tin canisters, and
tobacco boxes. OF these, the most tena-
cious depository was the leather purse, and
the shortest confinement was in the tobac-
co box.
! have often been ashamed Of the use to
which | have been put, and sometimes
blushed at the lies of my master when he
refused to put me to good one, and lied
to avoid some small charity, charging the
mendicant at the same time with drunken
ness or idleness, though he knew nothing
about it, and so committing about three
sins to their one, evenifthe charge was true.

known more than one person get decently

Yet the law gave me no redress.

was in hurry for change, pull out a dirty
