DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Tom Thornton, or Last Resources, Vol. 3 of 3 That's all very fine talking, said I; but if I were a bird condemned to pass my days in a cage, the handsomer it was the more I should be reconciled to my prison the elegance of my apartment would insure me visitors - I should not be forgotten and left to starve and pine and though I might sulk now and then, or jibe. Powers of en tertainment were not of the first order, the elegance of my appointments would insure respect; nay, if I happened to be a bird of fine plumage, though my note were with out melody, appearances would outweigh merit, and my pretty cage would compen sate for all defects; but, if my cage were bare and rusty, be my merits what they might the world would not observe them like our poor friend in the Bench, I should then be thrust aside/ to rot in some dark.
