Any person who lives in a house identical with another house is not known. Has anything heavier and more conscientious ever been seen?" "Does this principle also apply to the houses of the working-man?" inquired the Angel. "Hush, sir!" returned his dragoman, looking round him nervously; "a dangerous word.
His hearers are at one with him, and cheer him with hearty vigour. Absence from the dear old land has made their hearts grow fonder. Their loyalty is perfervid. Everybody goes home in a sentimental glow and the native born working-man reads his Sydney Bulletin over a long-sleever and execrates the name of the country which bore his father and mother.
"If you are content to drop the title, to share the life of a poor and an ordinary working-man as I hope to be " He held out his hand, and she would have taken it, clung to it, but her father strode between them, and with a harsh laugh, exclaimed: "You fool! Don't you see that he is wanting to get rid of you, that he is only too glad of the excuse?
If no one trusts him in Ancoats, he moves to Chorlton or Hulme, where no one knows him, and where he continues to defraud as before; while legal penalties attach to very few adulterations unless they involve revenue frauds. Not in the quality alone, but in the quantity of his goods as well, is the English working-man defrauded.
Copenny, listening sardonically, could not be thankful for such small favors. His venture as a moonshiner at all events was, so to speak, a side line of employ. He was trained a blacksmith, and had a pretty fair stake in the world, according to the rating of a working-man of this region, now in jeopardy of total loss.
It was early in the afternoon, so the children settled down for a long play. They were beginning to wish they could think of something else to do when Uncle Joe came in. "How cozy you look," said he. "Can you give a poor working-man a seat by the fire?" Peggy who was nearest the fire, sprang up, forgetting all about her slippers. "I think I see a bird in borrowed plumage," said Uncle Joe.
But I sought to curb my sentiments, my indignation, at the manner in which the working-man had been treated; to appeal to the common sense rather than to the passions of my audiences. Here were the statistics! Unscrupulous demagogues Democratic, of course had sought to twist and evade them.
And while the Court organs chuckled over this flank attack on their bragging foes, the Liberal organs denounced Lassalle as the catspaw of reaction. The whilom "friends of the working-man," in their haste to overturn Lassalle's position, tumbled into their own pits.
Suppose that the unpopular tendency in Pope's writings were of a nature to be surmounted upon a sufficient motive arising, suppose it not absolutely impossible to bring Pope within the toleration of working-men, upon whom, however, all that is bad would tell fearfully, and most of Pope's peculiar brilliancy would absolutely go for nothing this notwithstanding, suppose the point established that by huge efforts, by pulling and hauling, by coaxing and flattering, and invita Minerva, the working-man might at length be converted to Pope; yet, finally, when all was over, what object, what commensurate end, could be alleged in justification of so much preternatural effort?
Or, if this indignation against the bourgeoisie does not become the supreme passion of the working-man, the inevitable consequence is drunkenness and all that is generally called demoralisation.
