A verdant in a Cotton Mill


A raw, straw-hatted, sandy whis-
kered. six-foot gawky, one of the
purely uninitiated, came in recently
from Green comfy, with load Of
wood fol. factory company. Not
satisfied with contemplating the (" po-
etry of notion at distance our hero
mnst need introduce himself between
the cards to get nearer. view This
movement brought his neither hab-
iliments into dangerous proximity
to the next card and thereby hangs a
! tale.
''You, | sayi She goes potty, don't
she, boss 7" said Jonath in, inquiring-
ly.
~" She don't do any thing else, ]"
responded the stripper. "Twas only
last week, sir, that a promising young
man, a student at college, was drawn
into that very card, sir, and before any
assistance could reach him, he was
run through and manufactured into
No 10, super extra cotton warp yarn.

+" Fact, sir, fact And each of his
fellow students purchased skeine, to

brances of departed worth"
A sense of personal danger shot
across our hero's mind he began to
retreat percipitately, without waiting
for an answer But there was not
much room to spare between himself
and the gearing of the card behind.
Another step backward completed the
ceremony Of introduction. His un-
ahisperable being of large calibre the
process of snarling them into a hard
knot was noways slow.

The card was stopped at last, but
Jonathan's clothes were so entangled
in the gearing thatit was no slight
task to extricate him, and it was only
by cutting out the whole invested
territory that he was finally released.

THE m ye sf
PRISONERS CHILD.
by MARY DENNIsoN.

1t was early morning.
Is this the way to Sing Sing 2"
Yes" roughly replied a brown
faced countryman and passed or.
1t was afternoon. The child was
somewhat fragile in he app earance 81;
, her bonnet was of broken straw; her
shoes were much torn. the sun played
on her tender forehead she walked
on an hour l3nger.
Is this the way to Sing Sing ~
&c Yes, little girl, but what are you
going there. for p
The child trudged on, her lips quiv-
ering, not designing to answer the
pleasant faced old man who had stop
ped the jogging of his horse to note
her hurried manner, and who liked that
little face, anxious aud sad as its ex-
preston was.
The day was falling. Katy had fall
len too almost. A rough stone that
lay by the way imbedded in moss, re-
ceived her tired little frame. She look
ed so wearied and aged sitting there,
her tangled hair falling on the hands
thBt were clasped over her face. BY
the shakin7 of her frame the tears
were coming too, and she was bfavely
trying to hold them back.
" Why, what is this dear little girl
doing here 2"
The exclamation came from a pair
of eager young lips.
" A curiosity, / declare = exclaimed
a harsher voice, and Katy looked up
suddenly, covered away from the sight
of the pretty young girl and her agree
able looking companion.
"What are you doing here, little
girl 2" asked Nell haywood, moving a
little nearer to the frightened child.
!" Going TO Sing Sing" said Katy,
in a scared way.
Did you ever, George this child
is going to Sing Sing why, it's ten
miles off! u
Katy shook her bead, and wiped
away the hot and heavy tears one by
one. Sos sss f ssS5e
Why, yes, you poor little goose.
What are you gong to Sing Sing, for?
Have yon had your supper ~,
Katy shook her head.
" Have you had any dinner ~
Again the child shook her head.
!" Nor breakfast I? Why, George,
the poor little thing must be almost
starved y ae ~ "
! should think so,o mechanically
replied her brother, just recovering
from q yawn and showing signs Of
sympathy.
f" Look here What's your name n
Katy"
Well, Katy, you must come up tc
the house and get something to eat.

Last Autumn sat in the twilight,

And my cheeks blushed red as listened,
To his love tones, tender and sweet.

And scatter the bright leaves around
His tones were low ard tender,
