English Peasantry.

1t is impossible, rays an English
writer, TO exaggerate the ignorance in
which the peasants live and move and
have their being. AS they work in the
fields, The external world has some hold
upon them through the medium of their
senses but to all the higher exercises
of intellect they are perfect strangers.
You can not address one of them with
ont being at once painfully struck with
the intellectual darkness which en-
shrouds him. There is in general
neither speculation in his eyes nor in
telligence in his countenance the whole
expression is more that of an animal
than a man. The average age ct which
the peasant children attend the primary
schools is constantly sinking. Most of
them leave school to begin their long
and weary life Of drudgery at nine years
of age. They leave i with blunder-
ing knowledge OF reading and writing.
Many of them are Instructed by poor
ignorant women, who just know how TO
read, write, and cipher. AS q matter of
fact, 4 large majority of the English
peasantry do not read or write.
The food of the peAssntry, in most
instances, 10 bat degree better than
that supplied W sbs live stock of the
farms. Grist- bread, in soine localities,
affords the only food which the farm
lsborer has. Tn re are whole commu-
mites which do not taste meat dozen
times year. Many Of these wretched
households subsist wholly on wheaton
cakes and potatoes.
