Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elzevir Classics, Vol. 4: Being Choice Selections Reprinted From the Elzevir Library Poor fellow On seeing one in agony, ex cludes the thought of bad fellow, which might at another time arise. Naturally, then, if the wretched are unknown or but vaguely known, all the demerits they may have are ignored; and thus it happens that when, as just now, the miseries of the poor are depicted, they are thought of as the miseries of the de serving poor, instead of being thought of, as in large measure they should be, as the mis eries of the undeserving poor. Those whose hardships are set forth in pamphlets and pro claimed in sermons and speeches which echo throughout society are assumed to be all worthy souls, grievously wronged, and none of them are thought of as bearing the penal ties oi their 'on misdeeds.
