that the big steamer foundered opp.

other vessels were in distress along the

through the streets in blinding gust,
and every pedestrian plowed along will,
bead bent to escape tlie wind, umbrella

and deep disgust for everybody nnd j

One little man was wrestling wit!
wind and weather in a desperate sot
of way 11s he forced his course aloof j
Fifth avenue. Hi* bead wns down
low that he could see nothing except
the paving blocks, and still the shifting
wind carried the rain Into his face a

The man who received this piece o

there. I remember a blackf.mith with

in his native village. I asked him why
he had come back, aud he told me that
he earned plenty of money out there,
but he "didn't like it." When I was in
New York a tailor came to see me who
had bei-n an apprentice here in Bungay
Ue told me the same story. Plenty ul
money, especially at linn?, but lit
"meant tc get back assoon as hecould '
Also I had a conversation with au Ung

the same llis wages were large, but
"there weten't no society for such m-
him; " in the states tb«y were ail "genu
