"'If you might ha' married a king's daughter fair, I think you are for to blame; For it's I have married a house-carpenter, And I think he's a fine young man! "So look out, Mark! and remember, all o' you, that they're talkin' turn about; and he begins "'If you'll forsake your house-carpenter And go along with me, I'll take you to where the grass grows green On the banks of the sweet Wil-lee!
For that undertaking, you will have to deal with a very intelligent class of skilled labour; for the Japanese house-carpenter may be ranked with the artist almost as much as with the artizan. You may apply to a building-company; but, as a general rule, you will do better by applying to a master-carpenter, who combines in himself the functions of architect, contractor, and builder.
Attended the Court, where I heard the trial of an action brought by a house-carpenter against the executors of an estate, for work, forming part of a contract that he had made with the late Tascoe Williams, Esq.; the executors objecting to pay any part, because the whole of the contract had not been performed, although it appeared, that he was ready, but they were not willing, that he should complete it: a verdict was, of course, given for the carpenter.
I chose these men either from the characters they bore, or according to their trade or particular qualifications: thus: Burnett was the son of a respectable house-carpenter on the banks of the Tweed, where he had been too fond of shooting game, his only cause of trouble. Whiting, a Londoner, had been a soldier in the Guards.
Up pretty betimes, and shall, I hope, come to myself and business again, after a small playing the truant, for I find that my interest and profit do grow daily, for which God be praised and keep me to my duty. To my office, and anon one tells me that Rundall, the house-carpenter of Deptford, hath sent me a fine blackbird, which I went to see.

Chairmen in London, during the summer season, are said sometimes to be employed as bricklayers. The high wages of those workmen, therefore, are not so much the recompence of their skill, as the compensation for the inconstancy of their employment. A house-carpenter seems to exercise rather a nicer and a more ingenious trade than a mason.
According to the calculation of a house-carpenter, in a place where the average price of lumber is $4 a hundred, and carpenter work $3 a day, such a house can be built for $1600. For those practicing the closest economy, two small families could occupy it, by dividing the kitchen, and yet have room enough.
Payson, in his varied pursuits of preacher, pastor, house-carpenter, stone-mason, farmer, and doctor, for, having skill in medicine, the sick depended somewhat on his medical care, he was quite apt to leave his uninviting study in disorder, especially when suddenly called from home. Moreover, like the other cabins in a new country, the house was overrun with field mice, making it, as Mr.
"They had not been at sea two weeks, And I'm sure it was not three, Before this maid she began for to weep, And she wept most bitter-lee. "'It's do you weep for your gold? cries he; 'Or do you weep for your store, Or do you weep for your house-carpenter You never shall see any more?
