When curtains stand out and astound one, they are wrong.
The vices of the poor sometimes astound us HERE; but when the secrets of all hearts shall be made known, their virtues will astound us in far greater degree. Of this I am certain. Barton worked short hours. Wilson, of course, being a hand in Carsons' factory, had no work at all.
It is a spectacle presented by all free countries, a salutary warning to the victors of the day, and a consolation to the vanquished, to whom hope is always left.
