By-and.Bye.

Was the parting very bitter?
Was the hand clasp very tght
Is a storm of tear-drOps falling
From face all sad and whitel
Think not of it, in the future
Calmer, fairer days are nigh;
Gaze not backward, but look onward
For sunny "bye-and-and bye"
We're some whispered words too cherished?
Was the touch OF lips too sweet
Are two souls once linked together
Never, never more to meetg
Never here, earth poor, vain passion
Slowly smoulderlng out must die,
But its ashes shall return you
Something purer byeand-bye."
Was the priceless love you lavished
Sought for, played with, and then slain
We're its crushed and quiv ring remnants
Calmly thrown you back again
Calmly too the remnants gather
Bring them home without a sigh,
Sweet returns they yet shall bring you
In coming bye-and-bye."
Is your frail boat tossed and battered,
With its sails all torn and wet,
Crossing Oe a waste of waters,
Over which your sun has set!
To the shore all calm and sunlit,
To the smooth and warm and dry
Faith shall bear your shattered vessel
Safely, surely, bye-and-bye'"
Are the eyelids very weary,
Does the tired head long for restt
Are the temples hot and throbbing,
And the hands together pressed?
Hope shall lay you on her bosom.
Cool the poor lips, parched and dry,
And shall whisper, g Rest is coming,
Rest forever, bye and-bye.
And when calmed, and cheered, and freshened
By her soul inspiring voice,
Then look up, the heavens are brightning,
Cease your waling and rejoice
Cry not out for days departed,
None will hear you, none reply;
But look on where light is breaking
Ger a brighter bye-and-bye."

Emplovments of Women in Paris.

Paris correspondent of a New York paper
speaks of the employments of the women of
Paris, as follows;
'I am induced to say word upon the very
numerous employments of females in France
which are not open to them at home The
books of nine-tenths of the retail shops Of Paris
are kept by women. I do not remember a cof-
fee-hOuse in the city the counter of which is
not presided over by woman. The box-ofhces
of the theatres are tended by Women-not only
those of the evening, but those open during the
day for the sale of reserved places The box
openers and audience-seekers are women. And
not only do women act as sellers in such estab-
lishments as are naturally fitted for them, but
even in groceries, hardware shops, wood yards
fruit shops, butcheres, etc. In these places
the book-keeper is a woman, fenced in and sep
aTated frou the rest by framework of glass;
fhe ticket sellers at the railway stations ere
principally women.
have had the pleasure of purchasing a seat
daily of a good-looking young person of about
twenty-four years. From appearances l would
say she was engaged to the conductor of the
four o'clock train. Women even guard the sta
tions and some Of the less frequented crossings
Women cry the rate of exchange every after
noon after the Bourse hours; and more numbers
of the newspapers are disposed of by women
than by men. ! never saw yet newsbOy in
France. In the pOrter's lodges in the city there
lord would prefer to take for this service wo-
man without husband than a man without
wife. In small houses, where only one person
is required, that one person is a woman. Om-
nibus conductors submit their Waybills at the
transfer offices to women for inspection and rati-
fcation. Women let dOnkeys for riders at
Montmorency and saddle them too. Women
undertake the moving of furniture, agree with
you as to the price, and you find them quite as
responsible as men. Without multiplying in
stances, you will see that number of avenues
are open to females here, which in England are
closed There are other capacities in which
women are employed in France, which l trust
and believe would never be accepted by women
at home brigade Of street-sweepers contains
an equal number of males and females. There
are female ,Chiffoners, and old-clothes women.

BILE pedlar consists of small cart, man to
shout and sell, and woman and horse har-
messed into straps to drag. In the country,
women labor in the fields, and thresh and win
now in the barns. | might say that, from a
motive of piety, employ an old grandmother
to weed alley and tend a strawberry bed

natural interest, considering that they grow on

under a strong conviction that there is nothing
like 'leather"-to wear out.
I tried copper-toed boots on my heir The
copper wore well, and have an idea that cop

find metallic shoemaker to carry it out

resources of art and industry to make him a

Mrs. OIL. said positively that it couldn't be

I subsequently found upon inquiry that new

for about two dollars.

She gave me look of scorn, as she wanted to
know if had asked the price of "trimmings."
Trimmings were too much for me-

Trimmings I suppose means buttons and
things.
In addition to clothes, the scion of our house
runs up other expenses.

exercise at the Office, wrestling with a steel pen
he returns to his domestic retreat, and is met at

Boy LOyE.-One of the queerest things to
think of in after life is boy love. No sooner
does boy acquire tolerable stature than he
begins to imagine himself man, and to ape
manish ways. He casts side glances at the tall
est girls he may meet, carries cane, holds his
head erect and struts little in his walk. Pres
emily and very soon he falls in loveyes, falls is
the proper word, because it best indicates his
happy delirious self-abasement. He lives now
in a fairy region somewhat collateral to the
world and yet blended somehow inextrcably
with it. He perfumes his hair with fragrant
oils, scatters essences over his handkerchief
and despairingly shaves and annoints for
beard. He quotes poetry in which Glove" and
"dove" and "dart" peculiarly predominate; and
he plunges deeper in the delicious labyrinth,
fancies himself filled with the divine aflatus,
and suddenly breaks into scarlet rash-rhyme.
He feeds upon the looks of his beloved is raised
to the seventh heaven if she speaks a pleasant
word is betrayed into the most astonishing &C.
stacies by smile; and is plunged into the
gloomiest regions Of misanthropy by a frown
He believes himself the most devoted lover in
the world. There never VIII be He is the one
great idolater He dotes upon a flower she has
cast away. He cherishes her glove-a little
worn in the fngers-next TO his heart Happy
happy foolish boy loyel with its joys, and its
hopes, and its fears; its raptures and its tor
lures; its ecstatc fervors and terrible heart
burnings, its solemn ludicrousness, and its in
tensey prosaic termination.

Is shirt without a-proper length. J"

HoME.-The road to happiness lies over small
stepping stones Slight circumstances are the
stumbling blocks of families. The prick Of a
pin says the proverb, is enough to make an en-
pire insipid. The tenderer the feelings, the
more painful the wound A cold, unknd word
checks and wthers the blossom of the dearest
love, as the most delicate rings of the vine are
troubled by the faintest breeze The misery
of a life is born of chance observation. If the
true history of quarrels, public and private,
were honestly written, it would be silenced by
an uproar Of derision.

A NEW Work ON OREGoN-We are informed
that Mrs. F. F. Victor, of this city, is engaged
in writing a work upon Oregon, its history, ge-
ography, topography, resources, productions,
etc, and from what we know of the lady's abil-
ty as an author we judge that the book will do
much to give Oregon the high reputation she
deserves among the States Mrs. Victor will
visit different parts of the State to procure the
valuable report, and as she is q very excellent
writer, we feel assured that her presence will be
welcome in any community of our State. Many
of her criticisms have attracted the attention of
the best writers of the day, and having been
heretofore especially favored by not few Of the
best American authors, we may consider that
our commonwealth is fortunate in having
work so much desired by Oregonians, fall into
such competent and worthy hands.-OregoniGn

PETROLEUM AFFAIRs.-The Pittsburg Chroni-
Gle, in an article upon Petroleum, says:
HMany individuals are receiving, in dividends
from oil companies, an amount much more than
sufficient to pay all their State and Government
taxes, simply by investing IN them that surplus
money which would otherwise have remained
idle in their hands"
The Oil City Register says
"a single we'll, the Noble and Delmeter has
yielded over 81 500 900, the cost Of which was
hardly over S., 800. The total expense of this
well since the time it first commenced to flow
has not exceeded $4,000. Thus, for an invest
ment of $l2, 800, over ST 800. 900 has been re-
allied. Many other wells have been equally
valuable to their owners"
