IN tue middle class is from Six to tea
years later than In the working classes.
The middle class fear death less than
charity. They feel they have only their
own exertions on which TO- depend, to
win living that competition makes /
difficult. and to meet expenses which
circumstances render heavy. They
who see only the exterior often think
persons uncharitable, selfis.i, and hard.
hearted, when, if they know their real
situation, they would reverse their
Judgment.
PROPER RESENTMENT - Some time
ago the Ladies Of Lewiston Mainel
vicinity, and to the numb erof sixty took
ride in the cars over the Androscoggin

where they had a dinner served npsin

roads, when only their lords Ipardon!J

in attendance at the railroad depot,
with coaches and sleighs to receive

At dinner the Ladies had the table
entirely to themselves, were waited up.
uponby nice young men, and had their
"feast Of reason and flow Of sou, q all
in lady like way, solely to themselves.
On their return TO the cars, they
were again politely furnished with ye.
hlcles of convenience, and on leaving
the depot we're followed by three aaarty
cheers by the multitude gathered there.
The Lady who seemed mistress of
ceremonies requested the conductor to
make that schistle scream to ifs utmost
capacity, and give the bell an extra
pull to, let their sponses know Of their
rcturn-an injunction with which iii.
Bodge, always ready to do the agreea-
Bile to the ladies, scrnpulously complied.
