©}C ConstiMionalist AUGUSTA, C3-.A_.= Sunday Morning, December 12, 1875 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.

Kitson’s Patent Compound Opener Lapper. o THE cotton ia spread on this machine from the bale, and is j into a very even lap, at the rate of 300 to 400 pounds per hour. The laps are then Hnished on a TWO-BEATER LAPPER, WITH 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. The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.; 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 tiie most eminent satisfaction. We have no hesitancy in giving you our unquaiitled en dorsement, and cordially recommend your Machines. F. COGIN, Superintendent. o 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. o OFFICE MASSACHUSETTS COTTON MILLS,/ Lowell, February 20, 1874. J The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.: Gentlemen : This Company have now in use twenty of your Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, and ten Compound Opener Lappers.
