AN IMMIGRA NT'S LETTER.

From Miis Martha Potter, Iloustmiid. Hear Susan, I take up my pen ju«t to write These few linei", as the mail is a leavi.g today; Which I hope are all well down at Biddicum BUht, Asitlcves meat present, I'm hnpp>- to tay. Oh! Sukfy, be sure yr v come out. by mxl; ?hip, For this is a sensiMo sort of a p'nee, No Missus out here dares to strew or to n'p. And goiug to service ain't thougl t adUgrace. Disgrace! I should think n>t ; why, Susan, my dear, Diines.ics out hero meet with respect, We move in a vrry superior ppear, Anl leave if the neighborhood isn't aclect. Why, only last week a fine lady came down And begged very hard that I'd come a 8 lrr cook; Bat, Suke, when she mentioned Jblic li id out of town ' fwould a taken a hartist to pioter my look. Now, Rufaa, old girl, done jou make a mistake, And slave along there t'other 6iJe of the hcrrth, As soon as you cm. eith harl Itibsr forsake, Anl come t> a land where they value your worth. Bat master is waiting to take this to town," So Sukcy, good-bye— do come over the waves; j For everything here is just turnel upside down, And servants are ladies and missuses slaves. — S. A.
