trouble was."
The elatte'ing ukkIihioiv and the iiiovt
nuMits of the operative:* bewildered bini t'e
the moment ; but bein^ot'an inquiring Uir
of in in J, and seeing imieh tliat was caleul:
ted to perplex v?no wbose observation in ni<
ciianics had been mostly confined to tines!
ing machines and corn shellers, lie began I
push vigorous iin|nines in all direction1
In this way lie made himself accpiniutc
successively witli the external and intern;
cconomy of various machines throng
which cotton-warp progresses in the coins
of its manufacture?the "picker," "beater,
' lap-winder," "dotibler," and "speeder,"?
and finally reached the "breakers''and '"fin
ishers," just as the card-stripper was j*oin<
through theopcrati.in, technically t* riuct
"stripping the fiats." In doing this, th
large cylinder of the card is exposed t
view, and is seen revolving with a very pret
ty buzz. Not content with contemplating
he "poetry of motion," at a safe distance
* - "
our nero must needs introduce himself he
twoen the cards, to got a nearer view. Tlii
movement brought his nether hahiliiticm
in dangerous proximity to tlie gearing of th
next card, and "thereby hangs a tale."
"You?1 say ! She goes pootv?don't sh<
boss?" said Jonathan inrjuiringly.
"She don't do anything else," responde
the stripper ; "hut you must be very carefi
how you move around amongst this hard
ware. 'Twas only last week, sir, that i
promising young man from Miuof, a stu
dent at the Academy here, was drawn ii
to that very card, sir, and before ativ assisi
anee could roach him, lie was run thiougl
and manufactured into No. 10 'super-extn
cotton waip yarn."
"I s-s-swwow ! I believe you are joking!
stuttered Jonathan.
"Fact, sir," continued stripper, "and h
disconsolate mother came down two dav
ago and got five hunches of that sameyar
as melancholy relics."
"By the migtity ! that can t he true!"
"Fact, sir, tact! and each of his fello'
students purchased a skein apiece, to best
in lockets, and worn in rerm-mbrance of di
parted worth."
.1.-. .1 1 ? ?
m meti, cuts ircinii now f Was Le rail
kcerded, spun, and sot in lockets?"
- A sense of personal danger here sin
across our hero's mind, and he began to r
treat precipitately without waiting for a
answer. There was not much room t
spare betwixt himself and the gearing i
tho card behind him. Another step bacl
ward completed the ceremony of introdm
tion. Ilis unwhisperables being of lar?j
calibre, tho process of snarling them up ii
to a hard knot was no ways slow. Jon;
than gave tongue instanter, and by tli
twentieth gyration of the embodiment tli
music was melodious. Gen. Scott, hi nisei
could not. have protested more forcibl
against an "attack upon his rear."

Yt*s. llarrv is jealous, I sure of it. I am

writing l?y tin: taolo, and of course cannot :
sec any tiling that is going on around inc. ]
Vol this tiling 1 am sure of, I lint Ilariv and j
Minnie liave been quarreling; that Minnie j
has tapped her little foot on the hearth rug j
examined the rosy nails of each blender
hand attentively, and that llarry has whist
led Yankee Doodle with all his might, looking
out from under his long brown lashes,
to see how his indillercncc ollerted Minnie.
Now Minnie takes a book and turns
uver tile leaves carelessly, stopping to hum j
;i tune that one of Harry's rivals is exceed- j
in?_jly lbn?l\?r. Harry yawns. Minnie kcept ,
on hummini; the air without looking up, ami
now goes for her writing de>k. Opens ii,
takes out a huge while envelope, supersciI < ?_!
in a bold, beautiful liaixl?blushes :i
little, and take-Jtiain>lhat|IIairy sece. Kverv
nerve in hi* body is awake; lie glares his
ureal hrown eyes at Minnie ; ho looks as
ihoti^h he would devour her.
Minnie takes ja-t the daintiest sheet of
paper out of her desk, and commences writing?0,
so neatly ami so nicely. She nev-r
took so much pains when she wrote to
Harry ? never, not she: and she hones liar
ry will understand it. lie docs understand
it, bites lii-i lip*' strokes 1?is moustache, and
<ets his teeth lotj ?tl?er. Xmv lie hitches
ibotit in liis chair; put. his feet on an ottoman
; now kicks the ottoman over and gets t
tip out of his chair altogether.
Minnie smiles ; 11 arty goes to the window.
Why don't he sit down, and not uinke a
.1 unco of himself? Why don't he take it
joolly, set before the lir? and lead his news- j
papers, in t.-ad of pleasing the little coquete
of a Minnie by his uneasiness? Wha
Tools men are J lt'1 live, he is half-lookim? ;
over lier shoulder tliis minute ! Sit dn?vn
you ape, ami not make a wliiilv\ ind of
yourself.
Minnie draws herself up like a littlo <juocn
as Harry glances at her writing?arches her
neck, and curls her red lips as though he
had insulted her, and he writhes into his
chair again.
Minnie writes fabler than ever, and Harry
watches her. Now she had finished,
and is fumbling about in her desk after
souieimng. l os, ;i pair ot scissors?what
can she want of tlieiu ? Clip, and off goes
one of her brown curls, llarry stmts upon
his lounge; sits down again, and again
kicks over the ottoman.
"Would you like to lead my letter, Maggie
?"
I read it.
"Whata nice letter it is," [ exclaimed,
giving it hack to her.
1 wish 1 could say something to comfort
Harry. 1 might, if?if?I wasn't a woman,
just like Minnie.
"lie understands French, then ? I say to
Minnie.
"O, yes he is a fine French scholar,"she
answers, placing her brown curl within the
f 11- -f .1-- 1 "
iuiws ui iiiu icucr.
llarry heps up again, and sits down as
quickly.
Minnie commences putting her desk in
order. Wipes her pen, shut down the cover
of her inkstand, replaces her scissors, pnper
and envelopes. Harry sighs; gracious,
what a sight! for all the world like the puff
of a steam engine.
Minnie takes up her writing and a lamp
bends down her red lips for a kiss, and says:
"Good night, Maggie."
Now she is gone. Harry sighs, long loud
and deep, glances at me. I hope I don't
smile, though it would be just me to. Now
