DElxcArE MASuFAcruRE.-Th manufac.
ture Of steel fussee watch chains is carried
on extensively at Han's, England. So deli'
cate is this manufacture, that young girls
with delicate touch are chiefly employed in
the final manipulations. Each chain is
about eight inches long, and contains up
wards Of 500 links rivited together! The
chain is not thicker than horse hair, and
the separate links can just be perceived with
the naked eye. These chains have been
manufactured at that locality for about 100
years; and modern invention has not yet
been able to devise a substitute for this chain
equal to it in slenderuess, strength and
Aaxibility.
The delicate work which the human
band is capable Of producing. exceeds, by
far, anything which can be accomplished by
machinery. The finer woven fabrics Of the
East are the work OF human fingers alone.
Those who are engaged in producing the
hnest, are. never allowed to do any other
class Of work, 10 order that the 1delicateness
oftheir fingers and their nicely of touch
may not only be kept at its highest standard
Pas also cultivated to it. utmost limit.

THE New YoaK papers speak Of the latest
style Of short dresses as already in general
use on Broadway. According to the Herald
they are very popular, both with ladies and
gentlemen. With the former, doubtless on
account Of convenience, and the latter on the
ground Of economy. The old style Of trail.
ing skirt, which swept in their train all the
fil.h Of the streets, were not only inconveni
ent and tedious to look at but expensive to
keep in decent trim. One hundred dollar
trails are very gorgeous in drawugrooms,
and on the sweep OF Brussels and velvet car
pets, bat as brooms to sweep dirty streets
they excite more disgust than admiration,
aud besides give very Aattering blows to
even piethoric pocket books. We shall look
with interest TO see our western ladies adopt
the style. The New York Herald says:
Nothing can he more comfortable, more
becoming and more convenient than the
latest style Of small crinolines and short
dresses. Ladies can now walk without drag
log their skirts, and ride ia cars and omni'
buses without taking up three times the space
for which they pay. Some women with
large ankles have complained Of the last
fashion upoo the ground that the ladies' feet
are conspicuously displayed; but we have
yet to lear0 that it is any more indeicato
Tor lady to show her feet than for gen.
tleanan TO show his aad gentlemen have
been displaying their pedal extremities these

THE SURE ESTATE.

What signify the care and pain
That must yet endure,
The loss Of love--the love in vain,
The crime OF being poor?
I've an estate of solid earth,
Not broad nor very deep,
Where wild winds blow and daisies grow,
And moonlight shadows sleep.
'Tis six feet long and two feet wide,
Shut out from sorrow Is call;
1t shall be mine some happy day,
Enough, though it be small.
Till trump OF doom it shall be mine,
And make amends for all
Lost health, lost heart, lost love, lost hope!
More than amends for all.
