OR, VULGAR PEOPLE.
BY t. s. ARTHUR.

day, about the first Of July.
Were not going to Saratoga this year, Emily, the
eldest replied, with a meaning toss of her head
Indeed! And why not, Emily?'
Everybody goes to Saratoga now
who do you mean by everybody, EmiIy''
why, mean merchants, shopkeepers, tradesmen,
with their wives ard daughters, all mixed up togeth-
er, into kind of -podge. 1t used to be fash
ionabe place Of resort-but people that think any
thing of themselves, don't go there now.
Bless me, Child old Uncle Joseph calculate, in
surprise. 'This is all new to me. But you were
there last year,
Il know. And that cured us ALL There was not
day that not Gro wded down TO the table
among the most vulgar kind ofpeople.
'How vulgar, Emily!'
sWhy, there was Mr. Jones, the matchmaker with
his wife and two daughters need not explain what
mean by vulgar, when give you that information
Il cannot say that have any clearer idea, of what
you mean, Emily.
you talk strangely, Unce You do not suppose
that we going to associate with the Jones's?'
Il did not say that you did, StI in the dark
as to what you mean by the most vulgar kind of PEG
ple.'
sWhy, common people, BROTHER Mrs. Ludlow
Jones is only matchmaker, and therefore has no
business TO push himself and family into the company
Of genteel people
Saratoga place Of public resort was the quiet
reply.
sWel genteel people will have to stay away then,
that's all. I, at least, for one, not going to be
annoyed as have been for the last three sea-
at Saratoga by being thrown amongst all sorts
of people,
'They never trouble me any,, spoke up Florence
Ludlow, the youngest fthe three sisters. 'For my
! part, liked Mary Jones very much. She WAS
| sYou too much Of child to be able to Judge in
matters Of this kind the mother said interrupting
! Florence.
Florence was fifteen; light hearted and innocent -
She had never been able thus far in life to apprec
ate the exclusive principles upon which her mother
and sisters acted, and had in consequence, frequently
fallen under their Purity of heart, and the
| genuine graces flowing forth from truly feminine
spirit always attracted her, no matter what the sta
ton of the individual in whose society she happened
| to be thrown. The remark of her mother sileaced
her. for the time, for experience had taught her, that
no good could result from repeated declaration OF
her opinions on a subject this kind
sand | trust she will ever remain the child she is,
1T is the duty of every one, sister, to do all that he
can to set aside the false ideas of distinction that pre-
walls in the social world, and to build up broad
err and truer foundation, right estimation of men and
things Florence, have observed, discriminates ac-
cording to the quality of the persons mind into whose
society she thrown and estimates accordingly. But
You, and Emily and Adeline, Judge of people accord
ing to their rank in sociey-that is according to the
-. L.. r.,
this way, and other, can you be thrown into as
ISOLATION with 'a kinds Of people, as to be really at
fected by them. For the result my observation is
that in any circle where external sign is Tho
passport to association a sorts Of people, the good
the bad and the Indifferent mingled. 1t is not
very hard thing for bad man to get rich, sister, bu
for man of evil principles to rise above them, j
verv hard indeed and is occurrence that too rare
" happens The consequence is that they who ar
rich, are not always the whom we should desr
} to mingle with
Il don't see that there is any in takin
about these things, broher, Mrs. Ludlow replied
sYou know that you and never did agree in matter
of this kind. AS have often told you, think 20
inclined to be rather low in your social views
slow can that be low view which regards tn
ouatv Of another and estimates him accordingy?wa
the reply.
Il don't pretend to argue with you on these sui
, iects, brother; so you will oblige me by droppn
them,' Mrs. Ludlow said, colcring, and speaking
: an offended tone.
;. .Well, well, never mind Uncle Joseph reptile
: soothingly. sWe will drop them
% Then turning to Emily, he continued
sand SO your minds are made up not to go to oar
toga.'

to .Well, where do you intend spending the SUNNI
of montbs?' $50 -
a Il hardly know yet But, ifl have my say .
"a will take trip in ofthe steamers hyns VI"
no to London would be delightful
" .What does your father say to that
to sWhy, he won't listen to IT. But III 40 H.! ~
