OR, THE TRIALS OF A SEAMSTRESS.

BY

T.S. ARTHUR

AUTHOR OF "LOVE IN A COTTAGE," "LOVE IN HIGH LIFE," ETC.

"Work—work—work
Till the brain begins to swim;
Work—work—work
Till the eyes are heavy and dim!
Seam, and gusset, and band,
Band, and gusset, and seam,
Till over the buttons I fall asleep,
And sew them on in a dream!"
Hood's Song of the Shirt.

Philadelphia:
1859
