NOTE.
The following story was originally published in 1866, in the "Once a Month" and "Yankee Blade," and was widely copied by other papers at the time. It is intended to portray certain phases of life in a factory town, its perils and pitfalls, and while endeavoring to avoid anything that could offend the most exacting sense of propriety, the writer has at the same time sought to truthfully present the facts as they exist, that those most deeply concerned may take heed, and thus add greater security to the sacred ties of the home and fireside.
