WOMEN DO ALL THE WORK IN FRANCE...-.
In this partof France the women do all the work. Even on
their way to market we see them carrying on their heads
the heaviest burdens, and it is said they can carry as much
as 1501bs. ; while the men go swaggering along with
nothing but a stick. It would be an easier task to enu-
merate the kinds of labour in which women are not em-
ployed than those in which they are. In the country
they arc to be seen every day at this season of the year,
ploughing and harrowing, and spreading and carting
manure ; at other seasons, mowing, reaping, and carrying
the hay home on their heads ; while, in the market, Nr
find them selling their corn, and every other produce
of their farms. In the towns, besides being em-
ployed in sweeping the streets, and cleaning the
lamps, they act as labourers to the paviors, bricklayers,
and stone-masons, and carry on the work of gla-
ziers, and almost every other duty, both in doors and
out, except] that of serving as soldiers. It may readily
be supposed that the women suffer much in their appear-
ance from such habits of hard labour and constant ex-
posure to the weather. The consequence is, they look
old before middle life, and, in real old age, the loss of
their teeth, their naturally hard features and complexions,
dry, leathern, and all over wrinkles, combine to render
them hideous in the extreme. Still they seem to enjoy
life, especially as they go home from market, munch3ng
their dry bread or roasted chestnuts along the road, and
chattering, in noisy groups, about the business of the
day. Yet I must confess, when I have seen one of these
old women riding like a man, at a hard launehinr, trot,
I have longed to place her in a comfortable arm-chair by
the fire-side of an English cottage, to put a neat cap
upon her head, and a Bible in her hand, and so leave
her to pass tho remainder of her days in peace.—Mrs.
Ellis's Sunnier and Winter in the Pyrenees.

LUCIFER MATCHES.—The other day, one of
these matches being ignited near a room fireplace, it was ob-
served that before the match had been well lighted the whole
papers in the grate were in flames. The sparks from heifer',
it would thus appear, are calculated to take effect on tapers,
cottons, ad ether torabugiblet.—Zdinktrey.- Courant.
