The old settlers delight in pointing it out to visitors. These same people also lore to speak of tho good old times when Mr. Barrett came home. They all speak of tho tragedian us ’’Mr." Barrett. In an interview with one aged resi dent of tho locality milch of tile late Actor's career was learned. “Why, yes; every one in these parts remembers the young actor, and also liis charming wife. It used to be quite a time when lie returned after a longtonr. ami it was along the shady lanes and in pretty nooks in the woods that lie sought rest and quiet for his overworked brain. ’"But I tell yon it did not take him long to recuperate. He would have hardly been here a week la-fore lie would be wandering off into the woods, isiok m hand, to study. Come, and 1 will allow yon one of his favorite sjats where I have known Mr. Barrett to stay for hours, rehearsing hie part, with nothing but the birds and squirrels fur his auditors, so far ns lie knew. But many is the time that a few of ns neigh- Ihjis have stolen down to within earshot of the actor and listened to his words. It was a great treat for ns all." IU11HF.TT IX I.OVE. Iii answer to the inquiry as to how Mr. Barrett raine to reside among them the old gentleman gave quite a chuckle, and with his faoo wreathed in smiles said: ’ “Why, bless your heart, be fell in love with one of our pretty girls.

He kept a confectioner's store on Treniont street, Boston, and al though Mary lived ont here .with her uncle she frequently visited her parents, and there liecame acquainted with Mr. Barrett. They formed a friendship, which soon ripened into love, and mar riage was the result. “After their marriage they made the farm tlieir home. It was here their charming daughters were reared and educated, and I tell yon ‘papa's’ home coming every summer was quite a time for the people of the North End.

For the newly wedded pair he purchased a $5,000 house in Walpole. “As the snmmer months began to wane Mr. Barrett used to study very bard, and you could meet him in the road at A Family of Smiths Do All tha Maim factorial? Outal.la of Maw York. The village of Bath-on-the-Hndson, though its manufacturing interests are few, can hosst of possessing the cnly jewsharp 'actory in the United States outside of New York city. Simple us the jewsharp is, it requires, r.-. v rtheless. no little skill in construction. Tho proprietor of the factory in Bath is John Smith, and ne has perfected him self to such an extent that his work is recognised ns among the best in the world. The factory is a small building situatod a short distance off Third street, and although nnpretentious contains every facility for the manufacture of jewsharps. Twenty years ago, in Englaud, Mr. Smith began his apprenticeship at the trade. Hearing from friends in thin country that here wonld be found a better market for the sale of Ilia spe cialty, ho determined to emigrate. Ar riving in New York he failed to secure employment, and deciding to start in business for himself lie went to Troy and ojiened a factory there. He was bnt moderately successful in Troy, and after a short time moved to Bath, built a factory and is perfectly satisfied with the location. The Smith jewsharp is sold principally to firms in New York, Boston and Chicago. These firms soil the goods to retailers throughout the United States. When the factory is running at its fullest capacity over two gross a day are turned out. The busiest time of the year is that just preceding the holidays. During this season tile factory employs five jieople—the proprietor, his two soils ami two other Englishmen, who liv near tho factory. The manufacture of the "harps” is an interesting process, and hut few people are aware of the large amount of wor expended in inakinga jewsharp of good tone. The frames of t lie- instrument are not made liy Mr. Smith. Ho bays them from a foundry. Upon these frames j bestowed tlie least work; it is In settin = the steel tongno in the frame and filing the lower portion of the frame to fit the tongue that the most, care and skill are required. The first work done on a jewsharp (c to place the frame in n vise, file off the roughness and taper down the points, sc that each side presents a sharp edge, be tween which the tongue is t6 vibrate. The mo. delicate work then begins. I piece of steel wire is cut from a coil, hammered Hat at one end and left round at the other, and tempered with the greatest care. Tho flat end is then set in the arc of the frame, and then the two ends are carefully pressed and ham mered until they come as close as pos sible to tho tongue without touching it. The round end of the tongue is then bent in the form of a right angle, the point is turned over, and tho "harp* ready to be placed in the hands of .. finisher. There are seven - sizes aqd four kinds of finishing—the common, gold bronze, lacquered and tin plated. The harp can bo toned to any pitch. To make the tone high the tongue is made small and pressed hack toward the frame; to make the tone lower it is bent forward. Mr. Smith is not only a good maker of tbs harp, but can extract quite a little mnsic from the little instrument. He can also play two at once, which lie tunes so that they are in harmony, by- filing tlie frames. When business is rushing Mr. Smith's whole family is pressed into service, and •itch member excels in his or her particu lar work. Mr. Smith prophesies that within a few years the instruments he makes will' be In more general use than now. He has once enlarged Ills factory, and expects to do so again.—Albany Journal. iMiiummnii.iM BAD BLOOD! mples on the Fsos | as 8kln Trashiest UttlsBernf Hot Skin | Cold Borcai* BadBnnthf Boro Month or Lins | U tiz.‘:x£kvi.' t !
