Poverty is a case that cannot be hidden it must be let known so that the possessors may obtain condolence in some way. Places for poor persons are not of much importance for the care of them is not worth mentioning.
Some poor persons with a great deal of poverty would rather walk from house to house in search of some nourishment than inhabit those institutions but what a number of times they are driven from the door with the contemptuousness of the rich how many slang words are said to them.
If our comfortable friends should remember those persons casting away food raiment and apparel they would be less cases of poverty and when sickness overtakes such persons lend a helping hand their consciences would less smite them.
On Politeness.
Politeness is to say and do the kindest way. I think it is easier for girls to be polite than for boys, but I am not sure as I have never been a girl. Politeness is used in all parts of the United States.
On the Play of Hamlet.
Hamlet was a young man very nervous. He was always dressed in black because his uncle had killed his father by shooting him in his ear. He could not go to the theatre because his father was dead so he had the actors come to his house and play in the front parlor and he learned them to say the words because he thought he knew best how to say them. And then he thought he’d kill the king but he didn’t. Hamlet liked Ophelia. He thought she was a very nice girl but he didn’t marry her because she was going to be a nunnery. Hamlet went to England but he did not like it very much so he came home. Then he jumped into Ophelia’s grave and fought a duel with her brother. Then he died.
⁂
Hamlet was exceedingly sensitiveness. He denunciated his mother because she entered the matrimonial condition and showed her two photographs which he said one was Hesperus and one a satire. He made her experience great regret. He was engaged to Orphelia but had to neglect her as he was obliged to give his attentions to revenging his father’s death. His uncle was the murderer of his father, Hamlet’s father. He had a very mournful existence and was a great philosopher.
