And then he drew a dial from his poke,
And looking on it with lack lustre eye,
Says very wisely, It is ten o'clock :
Thus we may see,' quoth he, how the world wags.'"

STATISTICS.—The Revue Contenzporaine contains
an able article by M. Maurice Cristal, "On the dispersion
of skilled labourin the rural districts of France," from which
we glean the following interesting particulars :—ln lace-
making, the women who live in towns are far inferior to those
who live in the country ; they are not so well paid, because
though the price is the same, living in a town is much
dearer, and their health soon declines. Hence this sort of
work has emigrated to the country ; and, not to men-
tion Belgium, where lace is a staple, and the females
employed in making it amount to about 130,000, there aro
in tho neighbourhood of Arras alone 6,000 lace-makers
who earn about a franc a-day, without neglecting their
household duties. Glove-making also is gradually
leaving the towns to settle definitively in the country.
Thus, in the Haute-Marne, a single firm gives em-
ployment to upwards of 2,000 hands ; in the Isere
there are 15,000 needlewomen engaged in the trade,
and around Grenoble there are about 1,200 cutters
who turn out 600,000 pair of gloves a year, which, at the
rate of 30fr. a dozen, represent a sum of from 1,600,000 to
1,700,000 fr. The Grenoble manufactory employs about
600 women in putting the glove on the pattern, then under
the cutting press, and preparing it otherwise for the needle.
Such women, when clever, earn from 70f. to 80f. a month.
The remuneration for sewing gloves is at the rate of about
4fr. 50c. a dozen with one button, and 4fr. 75c. with two,
but the sewer must find her own thread. The cutting of
precious stones, whether genuine or imitation, is a trade
that has taken up its abode on the heights of the Jura, at
Septmencel (except the diamond, which is cut by ma-
chinery at Amsterdam). At the place we have mentioned
the women are constantly employed in making imitation
jewels, in drilling holes into rubies for watchmakers, &c.,
and they earn thereby about 75 cent. per day ; the earnings
of the men in the same sort of work being Hr. 50c.
