that it was advisable for me to abandon my theatrical career, for the present at least, and try my hand at warp-dressing again. This was duly resolved upon. Accordingly, I applied at a factory at Clayton West, belonging I believe, to Mr. Norton. I got employment without much trouble: luckily they were in want of a “man o’my sort.”

      I started work at noon and worked during the dinner-hour. The first of the hands to return from dinner was a good-looking young wench, a twister-in. She thoughtfully asked if I had had my dinner. Of course I didn’t think I had, as it was too far to go home to it. “Oh! but you shall have some dinner” says the big-hearted factory-lass; “for I’ll go home and bring you something.” “Thank you,” said I, and she was gone. But not for long; not many minutes elapsed before she was by my side with a big jug of coffee and a goodly-sized, appetising, real Yorkshire pasty, the size of an oven-tin or thereabouts. I don’t want to go into fractions, besides, it isn’t at all necessary. Suffice it to say that I presented her with my heart felt thanks.

      Bards hev sung the fairest fair,

       Their rosy cheeks an’ auburn hair,

       The dying lover’s deep despair,

       Their harps hev rung;

       But useful wimmin’s songs are rare,

       An’ seldom sung.

       Low is mi lot, and hard mi ways

       While paddlin’ thro’ life’s stormy days;

       Yet ah will sing this lass’s praise

       Wi’ famous glee.

       Tho’ rude an’ rough sud be mi lays

       Sho’st lass for me.

      As to the repast itself—well I enjoyed that with much warmth, as we sometimes say. Then I resumed the work which had been set out for me, and finished by five o’clock in the afternoon. There I left off until next morning. I had obtained in advance a few shillings to tide me over the night.
