Jacket, or his low employment, and she

more in society and understood the man
ners and customs of the fashionable world,
she began 10 look with more Indifference
upon the woodsawer, but still she treated him

and given to no bad habi,s;he had treasured

from useful works which he procured dur

OF her acquaintance, and she saw the diff
ference. He was sensible and his language
good and solid. They spoke on the com.
mon topics OF the day, and criticised the
dress and the manners Of others. On one
occasion wbeE Sarah wac in conversa,iv"
with neighbor of her-Jane Wa,ers-lhe
