May the new mill owners be wiser
than their predecessors!
Squire Floyd has removed from the poor tenement lately the home of
his depressed family, and is back in the pleasant homestead he
abandoned years ago, when pride and ambition impelled him to put on
a grander exterior. It is understood that the company have bought
the house, and rent it to him at a very moderate price. My own
impression is, that Mr. Wallingford has more to do in the matter
than people imagine. I am strengthened in this view, from the fact
of having seen Mrs. Wallingford call at the Squire's twice during
the past week. They are in good hands, and I see a better future in
store for them.
And now, reader, you have the story I wished to tell. It is full of
suggestion to all who are starting forth upon life's perilous
journey. Let truth, honor, integrity, and humanity, govern all your
actions. Do not make haste to be rich, lest you fall into divers
temptations. Keep always close to the right; and always bear in mind
that no wrong is ever done that does not, sooner or later, return
upon the wrong-doer.
