MANUFACTURES OF STEEI. PENs.--The fol-
lowing interesting particulars are from the
London Builder: & H9 '"
Steel pens are almost entirely manufac.
tured by women and young girls; and it
is probable that out Of 1000 persons or up
wards now engaged in the business, not
above 100 or $50 are Of the male sex. The
manufacture of pen holders and pen boxes,
gives employment to an additional number
of women and children, variously estima-
ted from 200 to 400 persons. About the
year 1920 or 1921, the first gross of three
slit pens were sold, wholesale, al the rate
of E7 As, the gross. In 1880, they had
fallen to SIS. ). and in 1892, to 6s. the gross.
One factory alone, in Birmingham, produces
them at the rate of no less than 10000
gross, or 6760, 600 in week-very nearly
million, or 100000, per working day, or
279,528,000 per anuum. At the lowest
calculation, Birmingham produces 1000
million per annum. The cheapest pens are
sold as low as I'd. per gross. wholesale; and
the price rises with the elasticity and finish
of the pens up to 3s sd. and 5s. per gross.
birmingham produces them all, and one
establishment has the distinctive mark oi
500 dealers in all parts of the country, as
well as on the continent of Europe and
America, for whom he manufactures ac
cordng to order. a.,#fH a
The sheets of steel received from Shef

successive transits through the rolling mil

4NSTA@AA,
WHAT is NOBLE!
BY CHARLES SWAIN.

What is noble to inherit
Wealth, estate, and proud degree,
There must be some other merit
Higher yet than these for me
Something greater far must enter
Into LIES majestic span;
Fitted to create and centre
True Nobility in Man
What is noble It's the finer
Fortune of our mind and heart;
Linked to something still diviner
Than her language can impat;
Ever prompting-ever seeing
Some improvement yet to plan
To upliit our fellow being
And, like Man, to feel for Man!
What is nobles Is the sabre
Nobler than the humble spade?
There's dignity in labor
Truer than e'er pomp arrayed!
He who seeks the Minds improvement
Aids the world-in aiding Mind
Every great commanding movement
Serve not one--but all mankind
Der The Forge's heat and ashes
O'er the Engines iron head a 1e'
Where the rapid shuttle flasher,
And the spindle whirls it thread
There is Labor lowly tending
Each requirement of the hour,
Thefe is genius still extending
Sclence--and its world OF power.
Mid the dust and; speed, and clamor
Of the loom shed and the mill;
midst the clink of wheel and hammer
Great results are growing still
Though, too oft, by Fashions creatures,
Work and wonders may be blamed;
Commerce need not hide lis features!
Industry is not ashamed
What is noble! That which places
Truth in its enfranchised will!
Leaving steps--like angel traces
That mankind may follow still
Fen though scorn's malignant glances
Proye him poorest of his clan, .
He's the Noble-who advances
Freedom and the Cause OF Man!

BRlrrsH Philanthropy The compla.
cency with which the British inoralists
speak of American slavery, in depreciation
of it as national evil and sin, is strangely
i'm contrast with the social CONDITION Of
whole classes of English popuIatiou in
London and other large cities. The Prov.
idencc Journal, alluding to this subject
says:
Any one who will read Mayhew's Lon.

that England can find any leisure, from the
contemplation of the wretcAedness at home,
to consider that of other hands. No where
in this country are the inferior departments
