When Hawthorne lost his Office in the
Salem customhouse he told his wife that he
did not see where their dinners were coming
from. She told him that she had saved
enough for few weeks supply, and then
employed her exquisite aesthetic taste and
skill in making lamp shades of lovely forms
decorated with figures from Flaxman, in
her beautiful penciling. She employed
herself constantly with this work until
Hawthorne's first peeuniarily successful
work was published.

s.asss Fisk's is the Fall River line, is it not?"
: "Yes; and the way he tries to beat every
body else, and make his the only line to
Boston is astonishing. Why, III tell you
something about Fisk. One day, Just as
we were starting from New York, trim
little girl stepped aboard and took state
room, saying she was going through to
Boston. She wasn't dressed loud, but
mighty neat and rich, wearing Turkish
hat, velvet sack trimmed with lace, dress
with lot of scallops and trimming around
it, and about the most bewildering foot
ever saw on human. She was pretty,
sassy, and called me odd father at supper,
and carried on in way that soon showed
what she was, though she deceived me at
first with her baby face and girlish
manners.
"She was standing on deck about z
O'Clock, after having Mortified the ladies and
amused the gentlemen by her rollicking
manner, and became quiet for few minutes
while she looked far out at sea. She turned
round to the captain, and putting up her
small white hands and taking him by the
whiskers ON each side of his face, she
looked up to him, and says she, very
solemnly, did you ever want to die, Cap
tain p WELL says he, Il don't think
ever did, And il you did, said she,
what would you do" well, in that case,'

Swedish laborers for their colored field and
farm hands. A planter, writing from Quinn
cy, says Of the Swedes: 81 have had one
with me since last October. From the
first day he picked as much cotton as any
hand in the field, made the best fireman ]
ever had around sugar furnace, beat all of
the hands at splitting rails and is as good a
ploughman as there is on the farm. The
best OF all is, he never drinks, lies nor
steals, and is type to the rest of them."
