Shoe Business in Lynn, Nass.

The shoe business is the life of Lynn
Only women's misses and children's shoes
are made here. Engaged in this business
there are of manufacturers, or men who
"carry on the business" 7S; of cutters, or
men who .'cut OUT the shoes, l75; of men
and boys employed in making shoes.
2,45S; of men and boys so employed, but
living out of town, 900; of women and
girls employed in binding shoes, 1926; of
the same so employed and living out of
town 1000; making of employees an ag-
gregate of 1O,O5s. The number of men
and boys employed in making shoes is
more than 20 per cent larger now than it
was in 1912. The increase in the num-
Der of women and girls employed in bind
ing shoes has, we presume, been cores
pondingly great. But it should be stated
that the shoe business in 1912 was un-
usually depressed; that much less of it
was done during last, than viii probably
be done during the present year. The
number of pairs of shoes made during the
last year was, 100000; the number pur-
chased from the other towns was 35O, GOO;
making in all 2,54O,OOO pairs. The cost
of the materials of these was 81 ,435, 5,545;
that of making them 1857 900, making
the cost of the 3,54O,O0O pairs of shoes TO
have been S2,392,575 The cost of ma
king shoes is now about one-sixth less
than it was a dozen years ago. ynn

Female COurlShip in Rome,

The women of Rome know nothing of
those restraints thet doliudvy. modesty and
virtue impose upon the sex in northern
Europe. A Roman lady who takes a
liking to foreigner, does not cast her
eyes down when he looks at her, but fixes
them upon him long and with evident
pleasure, nay, she gazes at him alone
whenever she meets him in company, at
church, at the theatre, or in her walks.
She will say, without ceremony, TO a
falend of the young man, "tell that gentle
man | like him. If the man of her
choice feels the like sentiment, and asks,
'are you fond of me!' she replies with
the utmost frankness, "yes, my DEAR
The happy medium between American
and Roman courtship appears to us the
best. We hate excessive coyness, but do
not like too much familiarity.

Mrs. Halwood.

every one is speaking ir such light terms.
| wonder who she can be. No one knows
and she seems determined to keep herself
in security.
perhaps she has special reasons for SO
DOING said Mrs. Halwood.
Il suppose she has, replied her husband
.but should think one of her brilliant tai
ents, and one, too, who receives SO much
applause from the public in general, would
be proud to make herself known. But
will read you her production in this num-
Der.
During the first year of Mr.. Halwood' S
married life, he had lived very happily
but when the novely had worn off, and he
saw his wife from day to day wearing the
same quiet smile, and preserving the same
modest demeanor, he began to feel sort
of e,,nui when in her society. Instead
of trying to throw off that kind of res
traint felt by both, by spending his leisure
moments with his wife, and studying the
character of her mind, he devoted the
= most of them to reading the various peri
odicals of the day; with which his table
was loaded. He had become very much
interested of late with new authoress
who had suddenly made her appearance
in the literary world under the name OF
Alice Carlisle, and who had become very
popular in the public prints, but still kept
her name i'acog.
When Halwood had finished reading he
exclaimed, .ie not that beautiful! How
pure and elevated the thoughts! Do you
not think she is a fine writer, Marys
why, yes. pretty good,' replied Mrs.
Halwood, with seeming indifference, and
turning away busted herself with book
before her.
Halwood felt disappointed and panied;
he sat for a few moments humming short
tune; and throwing down the book arose
and wended his way to his Office. 'How
stupid he muttered as he walked along,
mot to see the beauties of such produc-
ton as that. Oh! that Alice Carlisle was
my wife! Then | should be happy man

He entered his office, but his thoughts
were not there. He tried to dissipate his
feelings by looking over and arranging his
papers, but still his mind would wander to
the fair authoress, and then he would COM
pare what his imagination pictured her to
be with his wife, and he felt more dissat-
isfied than ever. He made every inquiry
and took every measure that prudence
would admit, to ASCERTAIN who she was,
but all to no purpose.
Time wore on but brought no relief to
the mind of Charles Halwood. Since the

gencer, speaking of the narrative of the
Dead Sea Expedition, in connection, of
the death of Lieut.. Dale, relates a singular
presentiment of Mrs. Dale, and gives the

are so unaccountably strange, that / am
sure some great calamity awaits me-note

A Good Time Coming Girls.

There's a good time a coming, girls.
A good lime q coming,
Old maidens may no. see the day,
But still shall give loud hurrah.
For the good time coming.
Submission now shall aid oor cause,
And make it all the stronger.
Well wear the breeches by and bye.
WAIT A LITTLE LONGER.
There's good time coming, girls.
good time coming,
Our TONGUE shall supersede the PEN,
And women rule instead of men,
In the good time coming.
Voice, not force. ehali rule mankind.
And be acknowledged stronger,
The proper weapons we have got,
Wait little longer.
There's good lime coming, girls,
A good time coming,
A bachelor in all eyes shall be
a monster of iniquity,
In the good time coming.
The lords of the creation then
Shall not be thought the stronger,
Nor make us promise to obey,
Wait little longer.
There's good time coming, girls.
A good time coming,
Wo shall do whatever we please,
For fun the men we oft will tease,
In the good time coming.
They shall smile nor dare TO frown,
But own we are tho stronger,
The reformation has begun,
Wait little longer.

MADE HIS MIND UP.-The editor of the
Syracuse Reveille has determined on pay

Jupiter! How we do envy young mar

the quiet enjoyment of their own happy
firesides. Wind and weather-and funds
permitting, we are bound to get "spliced'
