the price of the bran. They wore thick

Robert Owen was one of the Scotchmen, and

During the four or five hours that | was
playing the hanger-on to vulgar and saucy
custom-house officer at Liverpool, one or two
contrasts crept in at my dull eyes-contrasts
between what had left, and what was before
me- Tie most striking was the litter Dant of
hope in the counteDances of the working
classes-the look of dogged submission and
animal endurance of their condition. of life.
They act like horses and cows: SNOWY
equipage goes by, and they have not the Gu
riosity TO look Dip. Their gait Is that Of tired
donkeys, saving as much trouble at leg-lifting
as possible: Their mouths and eyes are
wholly sensual, expressing no capability of d
want above lBod. Their dress is, without
a thought Of more than warmth and covering:
drab Covered with Dirt Their voices are a
hdil-note aoo'e gIun''-inueeu, comparing
their condition with the horse, would prefer
being an English horse 10 being an English
working man. And you will easily see the
very strong contrast there is; between this
picture, and that of the ambitious and iivefv
working men of our country.
Another contrast strikes, probably, all
Americans on first landing-that Of female
dress. The entire absence Of the ornamental
of any thing indeed, except decent covering
in all classes below tie wealthy, is particu.
larly English and particularly un-American

BY THE LATE THOMAS HOOD.
o! LADY, leave thy silkcn thread
And fowry tapcstrie:
There's living roses on the bush
And Nelson's ON the tree.
Stoop where thou wilt, thy careless hand
Some random bud will meet;
Thou can'st not tread, but thou Wit find
The daisy at Thy feet.
IT'S like thc birth day Of the world,
When earth was born in bloom;
The light is made of many dyes,
The air is all perfume
There's crimson buds, and white and blue,
The very rainbow show'rs
Have turned to blossoms where they fell,
And sown the earth with flowers.
There's fairy tulips in the east,
The garden of the sun;
The very streams reflect the hues,
And blossoms as they run;
While morn opcs like crimson rose,
Still wet with pcarly showers;
Then, lady, leave the silkcn thread
Thou twincst into flowers
