such one as the last, the case will be
even worse, for there will be much more
land to reap, while there is no adequate
increase in the number OF laJorers.
The wages paid to farm hands, are from
II TO l6 dollars per month.
The demand for mechanics is also great.
In The prosperous and rapidly growing
villages along our rail roads, mechanics,
such as carpenters, masons, brickmakers,
plasterers, &c.. can find abundant and
constant employment Mechanics wages

the spring unless there is an increase Of
workmen.
Now when these facts are taken in eou-
nection with the olieapness Of liking,
there is strong inlucement to respecta-

the West. a bushel of wheat can be
bought for dollar, and bushel Of cori

For respectable girls and housckeepers
there is as much demand as for mgle la

The amount Of suffering among the
poor Of our city has been, this winter,
and still is very great. This is owing
partly to vice, partly 10 l2ziness, 90 want
of energy, and TO ignorance of way in
which an abundance might be obtained as
the reward OF honest industry. Tens Of
thousands have been given in clarity
Such gifts relieve immediate suffering
but the recipients remain still subject t'
returning wants. The true re'ief is Z,
