It was since a brick-yard, and contained only one hut, in which the brick-maker slept.

And it will be traced back to that grandfather who, by his great success as a brick-maker, laid a foundation that was of the right kind. "What I have said about these two trades can be applied with equal force to the trades followed by women. Take the matter of millinery.

The man was in a towering passion and the worse for drink, and laid on the whip again. Joe turned my head, and the next moment we were going at a round gallop toward the house of the master brick-maker. I cannot say if John would have approved of our pace, but Joe and I were both of one mind, and so angry that we could not have gone slower. The house stood close by the roadside.

Now was not he a clever little fellow? Tom thought so: but when he wanted to talk to him the brick-maker was much too busy and proud of his work to take notice of him.

I have always thought there was some mystery about it, but I can make them myself. Why did the Israelites complain so much at having to make bricks without straw? I should not use straw if I was a brick-maker; besides, when they are burned in the kiln, the straw will burn out and leave the bricks full of holes.

A gang of carpenters were kept busy, and their spare time was utilized in framing houses to be put up in Alexandria, or in the "Federal city," as Washington was called before the death of its namesake. A brick-maker, too, was kept constantly employed, and masons utilized the product of his labor.

Horses dead! Their skins are tanned; the grease of the mare's body is used for light, and for many oleaginous purposes. Close to one of our towns is a rancho or hut belonging to a brick-maker, and there, between his door and the kiln, is an immense pile as high as an ordinary house of dead horses, whose bodies are to be used for burning the bricks.
