PEERS OF THE REALM v. LORDS OF TOIL.

Dear "Worker," —Were- they peers of the realm who in days gone by designed and built those beautiful temples, palaces and cathedrals throughout Europe;' And Socrates was a carver; Spinoza, a lens grinder; Rousseau, a music copier; Ben Johnson, a bricklayer; Robert Burns, a ploughman; Millett the artist, a shepherd. In the ranks of the toilers to-day there is many a mute Milton, many Avho, given the necessary opportunity and sympathetic environment, would rise to pre-eminence in literature,, science and art. Then let us pray that come it may, As come it Avill for a' that That sense and AVbrth owre a' the earth Shall bear the ere© and a' that. —I am etc. JOSEPH GREY. Rotherham.
