To the Editor op the "Evening Mail." Sir,—A story is told of one of the Topes that, immediately upon his election, from the appearance of bent and decrepid age, he raised himself at once into the reality of an upright and vigorous manhood. Hi3 account of the change was that he had long been stooping for tbe keys of St. Peter, but nowhad got them. The late candidates for M.ll.R.sbip here have both professed themselves friends of the working man. Mr Adunis, in rivalry with his opponeut, pointed out that he was not a clap-trap, but the true and real, friend. Now ihat the election is over, I notice in your paper this evening an advertisement by Mr Adams, which gives a new and singular view of this friendship : " Wanted a boy to work morning and night, with liberty to attend school during the day, Acton Adams." No wages mentioned. Industry and national education for ever ! But when is the poor boy to eat or sleep ? I am, &c, A Reader op the 'EvENrsG Mail.'
