The remaining replies were of a similar oba racter, and,-well-knowing what the sharks are in London, I put these writers down as belong ing_to_that category, and I was quite right in my constations, na 1 learnt from them after wards. Discarding them, therefore, I sought is vain for employucut, until at less I got into a lawyer's office, where I was paid the miserable pittance of $3 a week and had to listen with a noeming relish to the extraordinary" anteness" of my employers, and orestually was turned adrift es I had not inganaity anongh to invent a lie on the spur of the moment to save one of the firm from the imputation of having seired upon more than was ble duo. I next got into an anationoor's office. My salary here was to be only $2 weak, bat perquialten wero to be very large; the said perquisites I found afterwards depended on my doing the "toating" business so well that "the austionoër would obtain 25 for an article worth $3, in which onae I was entitled to the one-fourth surplus. This occupation did not at all sait me, and I tried in vain to obtain some honest employment; hat" everything in it bommercial world in New York seemed to bo imanaged by "Quteness;”. Every tradesman tried to chent bịs Leighbour, and the man who was "cute" got on the best. I wish young and physically strong, and therefore determined to go up the country and tore my attention to manual labour. I got a job at splitting raih and succeeded in getting to a week, but the work was not permanent, and after a while there were no more talls to split.

This occupation only Inate three weeks, and I was on the very ver goal står vation, when come cae recommended me to a hrickjenker, who engaged me to wheel briske from a valley to the brow of a hill, a distance of perlofa 300-yarde: 50 bricks, each weighing 3lb., being every time placed in the burrow for we to wheel.

I do act wish to cularge upon tho matter, bas to tel my story as bricity as possiblo. We brick makers' labourers had cor food supplied ne, which consisted of pork, mara, noon, and night, every day but Wednesday and Saturday, when it was astunted by Jeef: Our huis wer merely straw, with a blanket under and overi us No beer, no tobacco, no extras of any kind were given us; if we required them we had to pay for them out of our $1 a week.
