A NOVEL OCCUPATION FOR WoMES.-A
contractor on the Formartine and Buchan
Railway, Scotland, has enlarged the sphere
of female usefulness by employing large
number of Women as navvies. The Aber-
deem Herald says ITO see these buxom
navvies wheeling their barrows, and still re-
tanning that natural regard for their invinci-
BILE charms betokened by broad paraplute
hats is sight, in this May weather, to do
philanthropic heart good. Doubtless this is
the most recent development of female in
dustry; it opens up at oEce vast new re-
gion, both at home and abroad, for the out
flow of labor from its own etfeminate chan
nels, and it is confidently to be hoped that q
monument of superannuated needles, reels.
crochet hooks, thimbles, and other female
implements, irrelevant to social progress, may
reward the genius which struck out this
great discovery. English paper.

And thus invented Ink.
had not read your friendly words,
Nor heard your rhyming clink,
But for this liquid telegraph,
This faithful agent-Ink.
1t may be-for 'tis often So
My head has got kink,
To set her thoughts, not only IN,
But spread them out on Ink;
But what were oil this rattl'ing world,
Wherein we eat and drink,
And laugh and talk, and see and hear,
Without the use of Ink?
Minds trophies would but fade away,
To dark oblivion sink;
Genius but holds her glory won
Secure, embalmed in Ink.
1t holds the present to the past,
As with sable link
What Israel heard from Moses lips
We see as well in Ink.
A chroncler of acts and deeds;
What fools and wise men think;
Alas the follies of our day
- The futurs'll see in Ink.
Many Senatorial speech
Drops rude and rough We think;
And yet it grows decent thing,
When neatly dressed in Ink.
Error and Truth dwell far apart,
Yet at each other wink;
Nay verify they sometimes meet,
Like social friends, in Ink.
And Love, that talks so witchingly,
In sigh and smile and wink,
Oft pours more pathetic strain
Through billet.doux in Ink.
What good thing here below, It's asked,
Is so abused as Drink?
III tell you-ncthing here below
Is so abused rs Ink.
The ends of yillainouS design,
Which make the authors shrink,
Exposed to light, are eft attained
BY vile abuse Of Ink.
Bunkum may thrive on flippant speech,
That's ventured, swim or sink
The secret of her greatest thrift
Is in ill-use of Ink.
Old friends, like you and I, may tell
Each other what they think;
And have little tete-te-tete,
Though far apart, through Ink.
