Words and Their Uses.
BY A MYSTIFIED QUAKER.
[Frank Clive, in Buffalo Courier.]
Respected Wife: From these few lines
my whereabouts ghee’ll learn—
Moreover, I impart to thee my serious con
cern ;
The language of this people is a riddle
unto me.
And words, with them, are figments of a
reckless mockery!
For instance: As I leit the cars, an imp
with smutty face
Said, "Shine?” “Nay, I’ll not shine,” I said,
“except with inward grace!”
"Is "inward grace’ a liquid or a paste?”
asked this young Turk;
"Hi Daddy! Wnat is‘inward grace?’ How
does the old thing work?”
“Friend,” said I to a Jehu whose breath
suggested gin,
“Can thee convey me straightway to a re
putable inn?”
His answer’s gross irrelevance I shall not
soon forget—
Instead of simply yea or nay, he grufflv
said, “You bot!”
“Nay, nay, I shall not bet,” said I, "for that
would be a sin—
Why don’t thee answer plainly: Can thee
take me to an inn ?
The vehicle is doubtiess meant to carry
folks about in—
Then why prevaricate?’' Said he, porverse
ly, “Now yer shoutin’ 1”
“Nay, verily, I shouted not!” quoth I, “my
speeeh is mild;
But thine— l grieve to say it —with fasehood
is defiled.
Thee ought to be admonished to rid thy
heart of guile.”
“See here! my lively moke,” said he, “you
sling on too much style!”
“I’ve had these plain drab garments twen
ty years or more,” said I,
“And when thee says I sling on style, thee
tells a willful lie!,”
Atithat he pranced around as if “a bee[were
in his bonnet,”
And, with hostile demonstrations, inquired
if I were “on it I”
“On what ? Till thee exp'ains thyself, I
cannot tell,” 1 said.
He swore that something was “too thin;”
moreover it was “played!”
But all his jargon was surpassed, in wild
absurdity,
Bv threats, profanely emphasized, “to put
a head on” me!"
“No son of Belial,” said I, “that miracle
can do!”
Whereat he fell upon rne with blow# and
curses, too.
But failed to work that miracle—if such
was his design—
Instead of putting on a head, he strove to
smite off mine!
Thee knows I cultivate the peaceful habit of
our sect;
But this man’s conduct wrought on me a
singular effect;
For when he slapped my broad-brim off,
and asked, “How’s that for high ?’’
It roused the Adam in me, and I smote him
hip and thigh !
The throng then gave a specimen of cal
umny broke loose,
And said I’d “ snatched him bald-headed,”
and likewise “cooked his goose;”
Although I solemnly affirm, I did not [mil
his hair,
Nor did 1 cook his poultry—for he had no
poultry there!
They called me “ Bully boy!” although I’ve
seen nigh three-score year;
They said that I was “ lightning ” when I
“ got up on my ear !”
And when I asked if lightning climbed its
ear, or dressed in drab,
“ You know how ’tis yourself!” said one in
consequential blab!
Thee can conceive that, by this time, I was
somewhat perplexed;
Yea, the placid spirit in me has seldom been
so vexed;
l tarried there no longer, for plain-spoken
men—like me—
With such perverters of our tongue, can
have no unity.

THE cotton ia spread on this machine from the bale, and is j into a very even

KITSON’S PATENT EYENER
Attahed, and owing to reccent improvements in this Evener, the laps when ready'or
the card, only varies one quarter of p.n ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, aud the picker house is
safer from fire than the card room.
as-There is al- o a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langley Manufac
turing Company, and at the best mills at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, M anchester
Lewiston. Providence, Richmond, Baltimore, etc., etc.
The following are a low among many testimonials whicn we nave received:
AUGUSTA FACTORY, Augusta, Ga. July 5, 1875.

Gentlemen: We have been running your Compound Opener Lappers and Finisher
Lappers, with Eveners, tor more than one year, and frankly say that tney nave given

OFFICE LANGLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY, f
Langley, S. 0., April 14, 1873. i
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mas3.:
Gentlemen . 1 have been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, tor more than two vears nast, at the Cotton Mill of tne
Langley Manufacturing Cofnpany, and I have found it. to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, wo have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over boating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against tire.
Yours, &e., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
