There was no snow on the ground, but it was frozen into stiff ridges, making it uncom-fortable to walk upon. The sun had been out all day, but there was little heat or comfort in its bright, but frosty beams. The winter is a hard season for the poor. It multiplies their necessities, while, in general, it limits their means and opportunities of earning. The winter of 1836-37 was far from being an exception to this rule. It was worse than usual, on account of the general stagnation of business.

Timothy Crump's Ward: A Story of American Life was written by Horatio Alger. You will be taken on the journey of Timothy Crump, a young orphan who wants to be successful but faces many problems along the way. The story is about Timothy's journey as he becomes the ward of Mr. Jacob Morton, a rich and powerful businessman. Timothy, who used to be a poor farm boy has now entered into the world of luxury. But, he realized that his new luxurious life has its own consequences. As the story goes on, Timothy has to figure out how to deal with class differences, social standards, and his own growth. Because he comes from a poor background, his friends treat him badly and see him as an outsider. Timothy is determined and persistent in his efforts to prove himself and get past the problems in his way. The amazingly written story can let the readers know about the different sides of life.

"[...] "That's always the way," muttered Rachel. "Shut the stable door when the horse is stolen. Folks never learn from experience till it's too late to be of any use. I don't see what the world was made for, for my part. Everything goes topsy-turvy, and all sorts of ways except the right way. I sometimes think 'taint much use livin'." "Oh, you'll feel better by and by, Rachel. Hark, there's Jack, isn't it?" "Anybody might know by the noise who it is," pursued Rachel, in the same general tone that had marked her conversation hitherto. "He always comes stomping along as if he was paid for makin' a noise. Anybody ought to have a cast-iron head that lives anywhere in his hearing." Her cheerful remarks were here broken in upon by the sudden entrance of Jack, who, in his eagerness, slammed the door behind him, unheeding his mother's quiet admonition not to make a noise. "Look there!" said he, displaying a quarter of a dollar. "How did you get it?" asked his mother. "Holding horses," answered Jack. "Here, take it, mother. I warrant you'll find a use for it."[...]".
