manned at'home. He. too, prospered, mar
ried, raised a family, and became one 81

son-they called him Jack-was twenty

hunks, you know, up against the wall,
like a steamer, only not near so nice.
Dirty9 Oh, my, that's no name for it.
You'll find everything in EN-. If you
can afford it, you can pay ten or twenty
FIVE cents and have things a little better
AS to eatin' if we have any money we
buy something at cheap eatin' house,
or buy something and cook it in the
lodgin' house. There is big cookin'
stove in the room that they let you cook
on. If we can't do either of these
things we beg.
"How do we spend our timel Well,
mostly in drinkin' places-distilleries
down round the Five Points and the
lower parts Of the city There you can
get glass of liquor for three cents, and
that's what all of 'em are after. That
blind man you see over there, goin' down
the street, is goin' to get his bottle filled.
He is pencil seller. The bright rosy
checked boy with him gets fifty cents a
day for leadin' him round. L don't
know what he makes, but from what he
spends for liquor know he makes a
good deal more than what l do, or what
friends of mine make who are in the
business It's because he's blind; peo
pie have got sympathy for him.
"Some are married Their wives
work or beg-they always do something
and they drink the same as we do.
No, there is no going to church except
by very few, and they're Catholics If
they have any religion, you'll find it's
the Catholic. On Sundays they go to
the distilleries and get drunk, or stay in
the lodgin' houses, smokin' talkin' and
drinkin'. They spend their evenings in
the same way. think the married
folks are faithful to each other but they
fight pretty often, all on account of
drink. Why don't they go to church
Oh, my, because they don't want to.
They don't think anything about it,
and liiav to get together on Sunday to
have a rouse No, there's no feelin' of
opposition among 'em. They all mix in
friendly, and don't quarrel about busi-
ness. If they make enough just to cover
expenses for the day they're satisfied,
and seldom make more during the day
when they've done that. AS for gettin'
anything ahead, why that's all out of the
question, They can't do it, sir-they
can't do it."-Christian Union.

History of the Harmonioa.

1t isn't generally known that Ben
franklin was the original Harmonica
Man. But it's SC, 1t happened in this
way. Going to bed one night, after eat
ing heavy supper of beef hash, he lay
awake tossing about, terribly distressed
by Indigestion. His wife was sleeping
by his side, and her loud snoring sounded
like big jewsharp. He thought how
much like "comb music" it was. Being
q wide-awake and ingenious chap, he
next day went to work and made a little
affair of brass and iron and wood, and
having satisfied himself of his success,
he kept the thing secret, and carried it
to bed with him the next night. After
his wife got asleep he took his little in
strument and began to play on it, which
woke her with start. whats that"
said she. Ben guessed she'd been dream
ing. So when she got asleep again he
gave her some more music, which awoke
her in alright "What on earth is that,
Benz cts me-" said he "You!"
said she. ." "Yes, me-" said Ben. ooh,
you get outP said she. Ben was too
good-natured to handy words with his
wife, so he gave her Yankee Doodle"
with all the variations, which so charmed
and astonished her that she went off to
sleep again, and dreamed that Ben took
out patent for his little instrument,
and made lots of money by it, and finally
left it legacy to all the small boys of
his native land. That's the origin of
the harmonica.
Years afterward, when Franklin rep
resented our country at the Court Of st.
James, ne would put some harmonicas in
his pocket on going out walk, and if
he met mischievous looking cuss in the
street, he'd take out one Of his little in
struments, and after showing him how
to play on it, would hasten off round the
first corner and cut for home, for fear q
policeman would nab him. 1t was not
long before the harmonica became the
detested nuisance of London, and in
quiries were instituted for the rascally
inventor Franklin knew enough to
keep mum about it, but he enjoyed no
end of fun when he saw the awful wrath
of John Bull at the sound of har
monica, which invariably reused him to
madness.
