OPPREssI0y-w hear much, from time to
time, about the half paid labor of seamstresses,
particularly in New York city That the op-
pressions heaped upon this class Of persons are
hurdenson.e and cruel in the extreme, facts Of
every day occurrence fully illustrate For
Instance, the Tribune, speaking of the shirt
makers, states the following among many SINH
Lar facts:
we have stated that shirts are made for five
cents apiece and some even as low as four; but
we will take the former price as being the more
Usual. For this sum the shirt has to be COM
pleted 50 as to be ready for wear and delivery,
and very expert needle woman can make three
between her hours Of rest, which are rarely
sufficiently prolonged to recruit her overtasked
strength SIX days labor would thu. produce
ninety cents, but only if uninterrupted from
other duties. but this sum, small as it is, is
never attained at these prices, as the delay Of
seeking and returning the goods, and probably
several journeys for settlement of her claim, will
make n great inroad into her hours of labor, re-
ducng her earnings one-half, or to about fifty
cents per week!

opulence has been mainly gained by this mur-

advantage at the least outlay; as, in addition

PETTY DEBTs.-Make two large debts sooner
than small one. These petty, trifing, clamor
Gus, troublesome, vexatous little debts, crush
them in the egg, my dear young friends despise
them; pay them In point of fact these debts
have no real existence. They slip through your
fingers like an eel, just when you think you
have hold Of them-when you want to discharge
them, your purse, the moment before well filled
is suddenly found to be empty. There is some
| thing supernatural about it. Happy is the man
who makes debts with impunity, thrice happy
he who makes none.
From these petty debts arise daily thousand
ingenious expedients, sublime sacrifices, stole
priyations
For instance most young men of the present
day die rich or poor, have no money for the ne
cessaries of life, while they always have enough
to waste on its most frivolous indulgences. They
are lavish on every thing that is cotton credit,
| saving of all that must be paid for in cash.
Thus student, or fashionable man about
town, or any other spendthrift, takes far greater
| care of his hat than of his coat
| ~
of the tailor make him in his very essence
crediting tradesman, while the small gains Of
the halter make him the most obstinate of all
dealers for cash only.
Many young man offers TO the admiring
eyes of the fair, dazzling waistcoats, overpover-
ing cravats. diamond shirt, pins, whole shop
window of iewelry, who, very probably, has no
| stockings on There Is reason for this, too
| The hosier don't trust.
You are walking, one balmy summer evening
with pretty widow hanging on your arm. who

While you are talking about love and happiness,
and also about economy and we'll regulated

your path He has something wrapped up in a
colored handkerchief, which he thrusts at you

hand of the pretty widow, with all the lands,
houses. tenements, etc.

TIE GERMAN MUSICAL JUBILEE.-The grand
picnic and festival of the German Musical So
cieties, on the 2sth ult., at Lemon Hill, near
Philadelphia, was attended by about 5000 per-
sons. The Philadelphia Ledger, speaking OF
the concert at the Museum in that city, on the
9TH ult., says:
1t was attended by upwards of 5000 ladies
and gentlemen, and the vocalsts performed
their music in excellent style Governor Biglel
and several other distinguished persons were
present.
The Inquirer also says:
The effect of the great number of voice
uniting in perfect harmony was truly grand
The sound went up like the roar of many waters
and thrilled to the very centre of every on
