LOped Too Late.

Far off in the dim and desolate Past
That shoreless and sorrowful sea
Where wrecks are drv en- by wave and blast
shattered, sunken. and lost At last,
Lies the heart that was broken for me
Poor heart!
Long ago broken for me!
My loves were Glory and Pride and Art
All, dangerous rivals three!
Sweet lips might quver, and warm tears start;
should an artist pause for woman's heart
Even that which was broken for me!
Poor heart.
Too rare to be broken for me
Oh, she more mild than the summer wind,
More fair than the lilies be
More true than the star with twilight twinei,
Was the spirit against whose love l snned-

Poor art!
Cruelty broken for me!

Uonlan's WOrks and Wages.

Women are already employed here (N.
York; in Photographic galleries, but not
as largely as they should be. In nearly
every London Photographic studio num-
bcrs of females, some OF them educated
ladies, are employed, which is. after all,
natural, as nowhere refinement and deli
cacy of touch is:of more Importance than
i'll the Photographic arts. Watch max
ing is a trade which, it appears from
European experience, is especially adap-
ted TO woman's capabilities. All the
delicate machinery, carving, and design
inc of the fine Geneva and other Swiss
watches so popular in this country are
made by women. The work is done at
the homes of the operatives. There are
not less than twenty-five thousand wo
men thus engaged in the neighborhood of
Neufchatel alone. The system is admi-
rable; there is great division Of labor,
all the parts of the watch are interchan-
ceablc, and the finished article is so cheap
that it is snuggled into England at a
price within the means of the working
classes. Working at home in odd hours
between domestic duties, these women
make from 50, 50 to 81 per week in
gold. Those who have been abroad
must have noticed that women are much
more employed there than with us.
Check takers at the theatre, at the rail-
way and omnibus stations, and in shops
generally, are of this gender, and they
seem to get on quite rs well as men do
The only place in which l remember to
have seen female ticket taker in Ameri-
ca is at the academy of design in New
York city. There is no reason why wo-
men should not practice medicine, unless
it be the prejudice of ladies to being at
tended by their own sex in this capacity
as we'll as in that of saleswomen. The
great difficulty at present is a general
want Of confidence in the innovators.
When time shall have established conf
dence in the knowledge Of female physici-
ans, the prejudice will have disappeared.
There are now six female physicians III
Philadelphia, and larger number in
New York but we are not yet as far
advanced as the French, with whom the

number cannot he estimated. -Hnper'I

The Bullock Press.

Do you know what the Bullock press
is )! 1t is the press that is going to weed
out Hoe most probably within five years.
1t is the invention of a Philadelphia
machinst named Bullock, who was
caught in the shafts of his machinery,
and inundated upon his own offspring.
1t is press which, unwlnding paper
from an endless roll, carries it over and
under large rotary cylinder and prints
both sides of a sheet at the rate of sixty
three double impressions minute. Less
than every second it releases forty book
pages Without the jangle and crash of
the Hoe press, without a squad of men
to man successive stories, and heavy and
dripping impressions lying in delay to be
turned over, and fed to the press again
it requires but three men to manage II ;
its sound is cheerful and energetic click,
short, sharp, decisive and pleasing it
takes but little comparative space, and
its operations are performed with such
ease that the eye incredulouSly secs the
swift effectiveness of its work. The six
cylinder Hoe press always looked to me,
in motion, like crew of airy tiremen on
ladders, saving goods from second and
third-story windows. 1t begins work
with extraordinary pretenslon. Starts
with the dignity of Il Provincial stage
coach, whips out poor, little thin sheets
of paper with the noise of "A thunder
cloud. and half the miracle of its perform
ance is forgotten in the miracle OF its
bluster.
The Bullock press looks like black
draught horse hitched TO a roll O: white
paper and walking up treadmlll. Over
lis back one yli~trning roller turns. under
its ham, another flies like Il polished
muscle. aud beneath the tore-paws of the
pony the printed sheets drop like the
flash of PAGERS shoes. The widow
and family of Bullock are proprietors i'll
part. OF this press, which is being man
ui;lcturcd by a company of which Wen
DELL, ex-printer, is n member, and Knapp,
rich Wa>hingtonian, is president. The
New York Herald took out Hoe pres,
some weeks ago and put up Il Bullock
Col. Hoe threatened to bring SUIT against
the Bullock people, but did not do it.
His own patent has expired, and Con
gress refuse, to renew it. Hoe is Il man
of versatile and prolific talent, and no
body will probably attempt to compete
with him in making his presses. .-Lettei

Q The " Ue.

Only let a woman be sure she is pre-
cious to her husband-not useful, not
valuable, not convenient simply, but
lovely and beloved; let her be the recip-
lent of his polite and hearty attention :;
let her feel that she has the sincere respect
of her husband, and that her care and
love are noticed, appreciated and re-
turned let her opinion be asked, her ap-
proval sought, and her judgment respect
ed in matters OF which she is cogniz-
ant; in short, let her only be loved,
honorcd and cherished i'll the true spirit

her husband, children, and society a we'll
spring of pleasure. She will bear pam,

about her, joyousness, an aggressive,

Tutt's GeOgropny ana history oJ
Ter1lOHf.

This work has now been before the
public about four years, and has been
extensively introduced into the schools OF
Vermont The increasing demand lor ii
has occasioned the preparation of a new
edition, which has been thoroughly re-
viSed by Rev. Pliny II. White, who was
designated for that work by the Board Of
Education.
Upon comparing this edition with the
proceeding one, we notice many impor-
tant improvements. Not TO mention
the correction of some hundreds OF gram
matical and rhetorical errors, and OF
some erroneous statements of fact, there
are several additions which materially
enhance the value of the book. The at
tempted conquest Of Canada in l775 and
/ l776, one of the most interesting cpl
Soles in the history Of Nermont,ot which
nothing is said in the former edition, Is
/ in this made the subject of several para
graphs, which give the pupil sufficient
knowledge of that enterprise. The ac-
count of the battle OF Bennington, which
was very brief and not altogether correct
is much enlarged, and is made TO agree
exactly with what is now regarded as
the historical truth. The four chapters
on the geology and mineralology OF Yer
mont. one of which was mere list of
names of minerals, have been struck out,
and their places are supplied by as many
new chapters by A. ID. llager, ESD,
who has compressed into ten pages IL
much of the science as school chile
; needs to know. An account OF the par
taken by Vermont in the late war, anC
and of the St. Albans raid, is among the
new matter. The whole amout of thu
! new matter is about eighteen pages. 1h'
Z questions have been thoroughly revised
, and many ''leading questions have glvel

VICTORIA, OR WORSE - Does any
one in England desire that the queen
should abdicate? The West End trades
men. dressmakers, and lackeys, perhaps :;
but surely no one else. The Prince of
Wales is not person whose accession to
the throne any rational being can look
forward to without anxiety. He is a
fat, heavy, loutish young man; growing
every day more and more OF the regular
Brunswick mould and feature. He i:
deeply in debt. He is not over atten-
tive to his wife-the one member of the
family who is really popular; he has low

ACTUAL DEATH.-Great efforts have
been made by scientific men to discover
some rule by which death may be infalli
bly, indicated For years the French
government has held out standing re-
ward OF large amount of money TO any
one who would discover and communi-
cate a satisfactory test, other than that
of actual decomposition, indicated by the
skin turning to be black and blue and
green, which is conclusive on the subject:
but in cold weather this may not take
place in many weeks, and to "keep the
body" so long would be nconvenient and
Objectionable on several accounts. A
method has recently been given to the
French government which will probably
take the prize. Hold lighted candle
to any portion OF a body Il blister will
soon rise; if on puncture it gives out Il
fluid substance, death has not taken
place; if it emits air only, it is perfectly
certain that life has become entirely ex-
tinct, for which we offer but one reason
among others: In case of actual death
the blood is congealed-in sense, there
is no moisture, simply a little air; this,
being raritied under flame, raises up the
the skin; If there is life, the flame
causes an inflammation, and nature, III
her alarm, sends increased material there
for repairs, kind of glairy fluid, and
this, being sent there i'll excess, causes
the skin to rise. Inability to feel the
pulse or heart beat, cold skin, or dew on

Sive, as there has been life when none OF
these were observed.-IIuTs Jourudt OF
