and ruin, they are speed out upon door and shelves
and fill far more space than either the dwellers in, or

shown, six different articles used in the manufacture—

and it takes five farthings' worth of dour to mak
enough paste for seven gross. We're pelt twopence-
halfpenny a gram for our work, and very glad we are
to get it." There was something extremely serviettes
in these details, and we understood why the little
children never ceased their labous,but went on folding,
pasting, and sorting with as much stolid unconcern as If
we were not by. They knew that stopping to look
about or shatter meant a palpable diminution in the
number of boxes they would turn out; and when one
hundred and forty-four boxes have to be made for two-

marvel of all is the ages at which infants begin to week

There is an air of oontentmeht and of brisk hula
among many of the people who work from morning
until night for the miserable wages we have quotek
which are in themselves a homily. Dr. Johnson, wham
asked to sympathise with the deep affliction of a
wealthy lady who had been bereaved, refused on the
ground that if she were a laundress who had to stead
at a wash-tub to earn bread for half-a•doein children
she would have something else to think of than senti-
mental regrets. The great lexicographer would have
rejoiced to take well-to-do people who are dissatisfied
with their lot to the match-box make& houses, and to
have pointed out the struggles which Intents of tender
age are oompelled to make for mere existence. A
