The following is a case in point. A friend of mine visited a young woman at her father's house; the family were in comfortable circumstances for working people, and what they possessed was the produce of honest industry. The head of the house was a mason's attendant, who had long been familiar with the hod. The table these people spread and the dinner appliances produced could only have been looked for in the house of a family of considerable social standing in Great Britain ; in fact there was nothing wanting to make the service complete but finger glasses, and I have observed generally that where there are daughters in a family, every effort is made to give them a character of gentility by the ostentatious display of fine furniture and expensive dress.
During the present century, in consequence of the great amount of agricultural produce annually brought into the market, other branches of industry have been stimulated, by which the material wealth of the nation has been developed and private fortunes rapidly made. While the great body of the people were fighting the battle of life upon a new soil, and laying the foundation of the national prosperity, and while the constitution under which they lived recognized no other social distinction than that of good conduct, the man of industrious habits was evidently the most useful member in society; and, though he lived by toil, he was equal to any member in the community.
Well, the old people console themselves by the comfortable reflection that their young folks are just like other people's bairns. Not a few of the mothers who have raised daughters in America (every thing from peaches to people are raised here), and who passed their own spoony probation in the old country, may well stare at their girls with the "fellows" as they undergo the process of ascertaining each other's affections. The American wooers are not like the shy retiring beaus in 30 THE WOBKING MAN IN AMERICA.
