neered; she was not too proud to welcome; in the hour of prosperity and happiness; those who had been her friends in adversity。
〃Mrs。 Howard; I congratulate you;〃 said a fat man; who was puffing and blowing at the heat of the room。
It was an ex…mayor and after he had said a few pleasant words; he passed on to make room for a hundred more who were waiting to speak to the bride。
That was a very pleasant party; but as we are opposed to crowded rooms and late hours; we may as well retire。
The next day the happy couple started upon a bridal tour; and on their return; Captain Howard sailed for Liverpool; in his fine ship; with Mrs。 Howard as a passenger。
And now my young friend; adieu。 If you are poor; don't be too proud to work at any honest occupation; but be too proud to do wrongtoo proud to degrade yourself in your own eyes; by doing a mean act; and in this sense you may truly be 〃Poor and Proud。〃
