CHEAP sHIRr-MAKING IN New 1oEK-A New
York paper says:
"The standard price is twelve and a half
| cents per .pece, and the garment must he well
| made, askite has to undergo thorough nspec-
tion, with bosom and collars-brnging from
one dollar twelve and half cents to one dollar
| twenty-five cents at retail The material in
these shirts cost probably about thirEr-scven
| and half cents; so chat the total cost is fifty
| Dt, loo, -
ployer of one-,alf at least for. the purchase Of
| the material, the cutting, and the sale Two
of these garments are, no doubt, Il full day
| work, making the extent of the weekly earnings
one dollar and half, with this miserable pit
tance many of them have to feed small families
pay house rent, and clothe themselves and
children. 1t is needless to say that it cannot
be done, and the consequence is a large amount
of misery and destitution.''
THE ELEVENTH CoNNASnMENr--A the an
nual exhibition of the Grammar Schools of
Boston, the Hon Edward Everett closed an
admirable speech with the following capital
anecdotes:
The celebrated Archbishop Usher was in
his Younger days, wrecked on the coast of Ire
land, at place where his person and charac-
ter were alike unknown. Stripped ofeverything,
he wandered to the house of a dignitary of
the church, in search of shelter and relief, cray
| ing assistance brother clergyman. The
dgnitary struck with his squalid appearance
after the wreck, distrusted his tale, and doubt
ed his character; and said that, so far from
being clergyman he did not believe he could
even tell how many commandments there were.
Il can at satisfy YOU" said the Arch
bishop, ''that | not the ignorant imposter
you take me for There eleven command
ments" This answer confirmed the dignitary
in his suspicious, and he replied with a sncer,
''1laieed there but ten commandments in
my bible; tell me the eleventh, and | will re
licve YOU ''Here it is" said the Archbishop,
!" new commandment give unto you, that
ye love one another ~
