To Mr. Thompson. —Dear Sir: I

Money. I could liare gone to sleep with
the tooth-ache, mid never waked up ill
Christman. If <1 hadn't bean for Hoop
or. who was teiurlued lo trn the galls
gwloe to work iu Lite raoruln.
1 waa dreamln about twin in It a hum

archea of tbc trees, irom which hsug
festoons of brlgbt Uownrs, whllu fount
ains ot crystal water was guihtn up in
eyry direction, and music (baled in
the air that was perfumed with the
bretb of roses. Jil'neliy oue of ’em
with butlful eyes and long golden ring
lets, what hong down below (lie c*|<«

••Say not ao. dear,” see «lir, ouiyn
oloaer to me. “j>ay not an, dear—you
must bn mlue;" and with that she Ire
gun to undo ber liauk ot cotton
I soon seed what she was up In, a»d
so I started to quit the place, but the
(uat thing I ktuiwd she had the yarn
round my neck, and the next minlt
'bout five hundred of ’em wag pulling
at mo. all alngln “Cum with me. my

uwny on a hoaxer ( . oiled and holler
ed ax hard as I could—I (old 'em I

wife, uud a child to home and can’t
marry uonc of you—1 tell yoo I’s a

Jost then the hunk of cotton broke,
mid away 1 weut, and thn galli art np
one of the loudest squalls 1 ever heard.
“Wliat upon yeath’s the matter with

wauted to boar the wind of It. So I
JMl got upuud put on my clothes a*

Hooper to see the galls gwlne to work.
Tlie sun was Jest tip when we went
dowa on to the corporashluos, a* tliey

waa a moat lately moruiti. The facto

of the build Ins was clean, and the little
dower gardens b* the dote* was gllt
terln with due, as the fust bees or the
mornio cnrn to suck the honey from
the blossoms Titer wasn’t many
people to be seed In tbs streets. Now
and then we could see sum men gwlne
to the counUn-room* and offices, or to

was swarmln with gall*. Hern they
com In eery direction, laugtifn and
Ulkin to one snotlier la groops and by

and happy as if they was gwlne to a
frolic lotted of to liter work.
Wlmmln look well l»y moonlight, and

much misrepresented io tlie accounts

thar we went to another place, wliar
they made cotton ami woolen cards.
Thai maclilneiy bunged anything I
ever sued in nil my life. I've always
thought that u machine IIsat rou'il

made with hands wus pretty isonsiilern

ami la-itd It double, punch the holes in
the lullu-r, pat the wire In the l„les,
posh 'em iu and bond 'em, and tauten
'em thar quicker mid butter than live
men cunld do it, went a ISttln ahead of
anything I ever heard or dreamed of.
The mini that Invented that machine
could invent one to cut shad without
awallnlo the bones, or one tint could
pick a man’s pocket when ho was wide
a wake, without getlin found out. Tno
only wonder is, '.hat he didn't inyvnt

Ilya forever, Uul the poor man in ded,
and, like all meu of getifns, died very
poor.
Tho next plain w« went Into wax a
