series of letters descriptive of Northern men and
things, thus complementary speaks of Nashua
and Worcester:

usual systematic business arrangements and pre-
senting those clusters Of white cottages, peculiar
to that section of country generally. One thing,
confess, took me by surprise, and that was,
finding 1t peeping out from behind curtains of pine
trees-ay, and they of a secondary growth too,
many of them. 1t did seem 10 ME great way
to carry southern staple, into the midst ofpine
forests, to undergo change which, one would
naturally think, it might just as well have been
subjected TO al home, amid the evergreen forests
of Georgia and Alabama, if there were any pecu-
liar advantages in conducting manufactures on
what might be, not appropriately, classed as a
piney soil.
From Nashua, proceeded, by railroad, with
a change of conductors to Mr. Brooks, whom | ale
so found obligmg and capable, TO Worcester,
Mass, passing through number of villages Of
smaller note than Nashua, and less devoted 10 the
distinctive business of the North. There is

And the city itself is the most attractive inland

ness and comfort of its private reside noes and
grounds, it is scarcely excelled by "Ceveland on

The expression of surprise at finding the Southern
staple carried 50 far as Nashua, to be manuiac-
tured, is quietly made, but speaks volumes against
the system of involuntary servilude which prevails
in the South, and Of which DR. Snodgrass has so
long been determined opponent, against most
fearful odds, at home.
