A GIRL FRIEND'S HELPING HAND.

What Am I Now?
It seems a pity. Because I was undoubtedly a poor boy of the working classes, with no apparent future in front of me. But after all, what am I now 1
I was born among the working classes (in Nottingham) and brought up among them. My father was a collier, and only a collier, nothing praiseworthy about him. He was n't even respectable, in so far as he got drunk rather frequently, never went near a chapel, and was usually rather rade to bis little im mediate bosses at the pit.
He practically never had a good stall, all the time he was a butty, because he was always saying tire some and foolish things about the men just above him in control at the mine. He offended them all, al. most an purpose, so how could he expect them to favour him? Yet he grumbled when they didn't.
My Mother,

But when one has been born poor a very little money can be enough. Now my father would think I am rieb, if nobody elas does. And my mother would think I have risen in the world, even if I don't think so.. But something is wrong, either with me or with the world, or with both of us.
