servants swarH;ing in every strange place with

dreds and thousands for thy wardrobe, thy table,
thy chamber, thy library thy leisure: and every
whm is anticipated and served by the best ability
of the whole population Of each country. The
king on the throne governs for thee, and the Judge
Judges; the barIsteI pleads the farmer ills, the
Joiner hammers the postman rides. Is it not ex-

edgement Of your claims. when these substantial
advantages have been secured TO voul Now can
your children be educated, your labor turned TO
their advantage, and It's fruits secured TO them
after your death. 1t Is frivolous to say you have
no acre because you have not rnathematicaiiy
measured piece Of land. Providence takes care
that YOU shall have place, that you are waited
for and come accredited; and as soon as you put
your gift to use, you shall have acre or acre 5

Besides. it might temper your indignation a,

to keep the question before you-how Society got
into this predicamenr1 Who put things on this
false basis, No single man, but all men. No
man voluntarily and knowingly, but it is the result
Of that degree of culture there is in the planet.
The order of things is good as the character OF
the population permits. Consider it rs the work
Of great, and benehcent and progressive neces-
sty, which, from the frs; pulsation OF the first
animal lie up to the present high culture OF the
best nations, has advanced thus far. Thank the
rude fostermother that she has taught you a
better wisdom than her own and has set hopes IN
your heart which hall be history in the mex, ages.
You are yourself the result of this manner OF living,
this foul compromise, this vtuperated Sodom. 1t
nourished YOU with care and love on It's breast,
it had nourished many lover of the right. and
many poet, and prophet, and teacher Of men.
Is it so rremcdlaby bad? Then again, ii the
mitigations are considered. do not all the mis-
chiefs virtually vanish The form is bad, but see
you not how every personal character reacts the
form, and makes it new 4 strong person makes
the law and custom null before his own will. Then
the principle of love and truth reappears in the
strictest courts of fashion and property. Under
the richest robes. in the darlngs Of the selecest
circles Of European American Aristocracy. the
strong heart will beat with love of mankind with
impatierce OF accidental distinctions, with the de-
sire to achieve It's own fate. and make every orna
ment it wears authentic and real.
