$('#wrapper div.Text') or $('#wrapper .Text'), depending on how specific you want to be.

To add to nezroy's answer: $('#wrapper > div.Text') if you only want elements directly inside the wrapper and not all that might be nested inside.

either

$('#wraper .text')

or

$('.text', $('#wraper'))

will work well with same results (even tho, i guess the second option is faster)
