with you; and other shelves to which
you may go while jou feel disgusted
with the shams of the world and ask
Thackeray to express your chagrin,
or Charles Dickens to expose the
Pecksniffianism, or Thomas Carlyle

horse that takes four minutes to go
a mile if you can own one that can
go in a little over two minutes and
a half; no virtue in running into
the teeth of a northeast wind with
thin apparel if you can afford furs;
no virtue in being poor when you
can honestly be rich. There are
names of men and women that I
have only to mention, and they sug-
gest not only wealth, but religion and
generosity and philanthropy,
such as Amos Lawrence, James
Lennox, Peter Cooper, William E.
Dodge, Shaftesbury, Miss Wolfe and
Mrs. Astor.
