A young woman was recently arrested in
Lockport, N. Y, for being disguised in mems
clothing. She stated that she was twenty-one
years old, and had dressed thus for two years,
because she could thereby obtain higher wages
for her labor. The Justice sentenced her to
the city Jail for three months.
We have no further report of the facts in
this case, and therefore we assume that, the
above is q correct statement of them. And we
cannot refrain from raising the inquiry
whether there is not something radically
wrong in a system of distribution Of wages
the direct result of which is to produce such
cases as this. This woman saw herself debar-
red by the accident of sex from receiving such
compensation for her labor as men who do
the same work, receive for theirs. It is evil
dent that her capacity for performing the same
labor was equal to that of the men who might
be her rivals, otherwise her change of dress
would have been 10 advantage to her. But
society's unequal law seemed to her too OPP
pressive, and she thought herself justified in
evading 1t by a deception. 1t Is of course uHr
necessary to say that we have no idea of de-
tending SO gross a violation of the laws of
propriety and modesty, but can it truly be
said that the act of this woman was wholly
without excuse? Feeling strongly the injus-
tice of the distinction which was made be-
tween her and those no more capable than
herself, was not the temptation very strong to
combat such injustice with deception? Fraud
il the natural weapon of the weak.
We are not going to treat our readers to a
sermon on "Woman's Rights" or preach a
crusade against the cruelty, oppression and
barbarity of men towards their weaker sisters.
But men, though always generous and chival-
rous toward every individual woman, are
little apt to be inconsiderate of women in the
mass, and this whole subject of woman's labor
and the compensation it receives is one which
will well bear examination and thought from
the benevolent and the just. When it shall
have become possible for a woman, performing
the same labor. and doing it equally well, to OBJ
tain for it the same wages which a man re-
ceives, she will no longer be under the temp
tation of overstepping the bounds of womanly
modesty and propriety to secure what is just
ly her due.

satisfactory both to the scholar and to the
clothier. In the same speech of Polonius
there is this expression:

Grapple them to thy soul with hooks OF STEEL"
upon which the note in my copy of Shake
speare Phillips & Sampson, Boston, 1870 re-
marks:
'The old copies read with hoops of steel.'
But this opens up discussion on the hoop

must confine ourselves to clothing.

The Power OF THE HEARr.--Let any one
while setting down, place the left leg over
the knee of the right one, and permit it to
hang freely, abandoning all muscular con-
troll over it. Speedily it may be observed
to sway forward and backward through a
limited space of regular intervals. Count
ing the number of these motions from any
given time, they will be found to agree
exactly with the beatings of the pulse.
Every enc knows that, at fires, when the
water from the engine is forced through
bent hose, the tendency is to straighten
the hose, and if the bend be sharp one,
considerable force is necessary to over
come the tendency Just SO it is in the case
of the human body. The arteries are but
system of hose, through which the blood
is forced by the heart. When the leg is
bent, all the arteries within it are bent too
and every time the heart contracts the
blood rushes through the arteries, tends to
straighten them and it is the effort which
produces the motion of the leg alluded to-
Without such ocular demonstration, it is
difficult to conceive the power exerted by
the exquisite mechanism, the normal pulsa-
tions of which are never perceived by him
whose very life they are.

POETRY OF LABOR.

Toll swings the axe, and forests bow,
The seeds break out in radiant bloom,
Rich harvests smile behind the plow,
And cities cluster round the loom
Where towering domes and tapering spires
Adorn the vale and crown the hill,
Stout Labor lights its beacon fires,
And plumes with smoke the forge and mill
The monarch oak, the woodlands pride,
Whose trunk is scanned with lightning scars
Toll launches on the restless tide,
And there unrolls the flag of stars
The engine with its lungs of flames,
And ribs of brass and joints of steel,
From Labor's plastic fingers came
With sobbing valve and whirling wheel.
'Tis labor works the magic press,
And turns the rank in hives of toll,
And beckons angels down to bless
Industrious hands on sea and soil,
Her sun-browned Toll, with shining spade,
Links lake to lake, with silver ties
Strung thick with palaces of trade
And temples towering to the skies.

GOING HOME.

Where are you going so fast, old man,
Where are you going so fast?
There's a valley to cross, and river to ford,
There's a clasp of the hand and parting word
And tremulous sigh for the past, old man;
The beautiful vanished past.
The road has been rugged and rough, old man
To your feet it's rugged and rough;
g,t YOU see dear being with gentle eyes,
Has shared in your labor and sacrifice
Ab, that has been sunshine enough, old man,
For YOU and me, sunshine enough.
How long since you passed DER the hill, old
man2
OF life oer the top of the hill?
We're there beautiful valleys on t'other side?
We're there flowers and trees, with their branches
wide,
To shut out the heat of sun, old man,
The heat of the fervid sun?
And how did you cross the waves, old man,
Of sorrow, the fearful waves?
Did you lay your dear treasures by, one by one,
With an aching heart and Goods will be done,''
Under the wayside dust, old man,
In the graves meath the wayside dust?
There is sorrow and labor for all, old man,
Alas there is sorrow for ALL
md you, peradyenture, have had your share,
!5r eighty long winters have whitened your hair,
and they've whitened your heart as well, old
man,
Thank God your heart as WELL
You're now at the foot of the hill, old man,
At last at the foot of the hill!
he sun has gone down IN golden glow,
4ithe heavenly city lies just below;
10 in through the pearly gate, old man,
The beautiful pearly gate.
