South River struck for six drains day, instead
of four. BY this means they lost time and
consequently money enough 70 have purchased
the extra two drains for six months. The
contractor effected a compromise, by agreeing
to give the two extra "jiggerS until the 10th
September, with the understanding that any
man discovered TO be " disguised" in liquor, is
to be paid of at the rate of 81 a day and dis
charged. The men at South River did not all
strike; those on the hill remained at work.
In proof of the fact that it is more the love of
liquor than of money that drives shiftless, i'm
prOvident men to the drudgery of railroad labor,
1t is related that one Of the men, after working
three days was observed on the morning of the
fourth, to shoulder his pack and start of, with
out his wages. In answer to inquiries as to his
intentions, he Indignantly replied that /" He'd be
id if he'd work on any railroad where they
didn't give seven 'jiggers' day." Here was
SO IS thrown away, and this amount would
have supplied him with the extra three 'jiggers'
for three years. OF course such men never
save enough to buy farm or home of any sort,
and are grubbers and diggers till the machine
which was wound up at their birth, runs down
In the above there are some mistakes. The
understanding between the contractor and the
men was, that if any man should be observed tC
be at all disguised" he is to be discharged and
10 forfeit his wages. This was their own pro-
position. If another strike take place on any
pretence, those engaged in it are TO be paid Of
at the rate Of ST. day and discharged.

Bes Rev. Mr.. Willey's Lecture on
Odd Fellowship, on Thursday evening
last was not well attended, as it was
quite rainy; but those who did attend
were rewarded for their trouble, as the
lecture was an eloquent, one especially
the eulogy on woman though We must
confess we are not exactly prepared to
admit that whatever will make man
better will not have somewhat of a
similar effect on woman. Though
woman may be better than man, yet we
are ungallant enough to think that she
is not so much so as to be denied what
ever rights and privileges may appertain
to the Order.

/ am the last person in the world who
would grind the faces ofthe poor Yes,
the very last person. Here is the money
you paid for me, and must repeat my
thanks for your prompt correction OF
the error. But l cannot help feeling
vexed at the woman"
"We must make many allowances
for the poor, Mrs. Lander. They siten
bear.a great deal of wrong without a
word of complaint. Some people take
advantage of their need, and, because
they are poor, make them work for the
merest pittance in the word / know
some persons, and they well off in the
world, who always employ the poorest
class of persons, and this under the pre-
tence of favoring them, but in reality,
that they may get their work done at a
rate cheaper than it can be made by
people who expect to derive from their
labor a comfortable support"
Mrs. Lander was stung to the quick
by these words but she dared not show
the least sign of feeling.
Surely no one protesting to be a
Christian can do So" she sad.
Yes, people protesting to be Chris
tians do these things" was replied !;
but of course their professions need a
better practice to prove them of any
worth"
When her visitor had retired, after
having expressed her opinion on the
subject under consideration still more
unequivocally, Mrs. Lander did not feel
very comfortable, nor was her good
opinion of herself quite so firm as it had
been earlier in the day. But she took
good care, in the future, not to give any
more work to Mrs. Walton, and was ex-
ceedingly particular afterwards in en-
ploying poor people to knew whether
they sewed for Mrs. Brandon. There
are good many people in the world
who encourage the poor on Mrs. Lam
der's principle.
