Thrift

CHAPTER III
14/22

141, 142.] Mr.Dension died before he could accomplish much.

He was only able to make a beginning.

The misery, arising from improvidence, which he so deeply deplored, still exists, and is even more widely spread.

It is not merely the artizan who spends all that he earns, but the classes above him, who cannot plead the same excuse of ignorance.

Many of what are called the "upper" classes are no more excusable than the "lower." They waste their means on keeping up appearances, and in feeding folly, dissipation, and vice.
No one can reproach the English workman with want of industry.
