NO IDEAL CASE. A correspondent, signing himself A Man above Forty," has sent the following letter to the London Times for publication A number of carpenters refuse 35s. per week, and here am I, a tolerably well-educatdd man, of unimpeachable cha- racter, who now and at any time these three years would have been glad to take half that sum, and who, when my most pressing wants were somewhat relieved, though perhaps wishing for more, by no means disposed to seek it by a strike and a return to idleness and" ant, doomed day by day to make ineffectual applications for employment, until the old complaint of heart sickuess has become chronic. When I look back I wonder at not being in either the union or tne grave, and when I look forward I see-owing princi- pally to the, alas inevitable increase of what has often and often been my sole difficulty, age-I see even less hope of avoiding one or the other in the future. f However, if you would kindly publish this, the carpenters folly might be my succour, and I hereby register a vow that, should I obtain employment thereby, I will devote ten per cent. ot my earnings, whatever they may be, to my present eqtial2- he poor. equals—the poor. Mine is no ideal case, aud though I cannot, from having long since dispensed with such evidences of gentility, enclose my card, I beg to add my name and address as an available guarantee to you, and a means of finding me to any one dis- posed to take the hint.
