wages Of NInssaellnsetts wOOl.workers.

The Springfield Repubhcn, says The
report Of our labor bureau does not show
how many carpenters, cahinet-makers,
&C., are included in It's statistical tables.
It is fair TO suppose that they number
five or six thousand, however, and they
are scattered all over the State. Tile
average wages vary from $3.50 n day to
$3.50 in different localities for carpenters
and about 90 cents less for cabinet-mak-
ers. Sawmill hands and chairmakers
have lower wages, averaging perhaps
so. % throughout the State. a sSm in
Boston pay stair-builders $3.50, carpen-
ters and turner's SO, engineer s3, team
sters 80, and laborers S1.75. Another
in Boston hires II carpenters at m aver
age Of s2.74, highest and lowest monthly
earnings, $50 and S4S, hours Of labor 50.
A third hires 10 men ut frem $3.50 to
s1.67 per day, average S343. A fourth
hires 100 men at from $3.50 TO $3.50 per
day, ayeraging 50. A building firm in
Afiddlesex County employs 33 men T; 2S
carpenters at highest, lowest, and average

Of serenading newly-married couples,

supposed that ono Of the privileges re.

Country Houses.


In riding along any Of our public
thoroughfares one is often struck
with the want of taste displayed by
far mers and others In choosing the
sites of their houses, as well as In
the style of architecture they employ
In building them. How eften do we
see along the highway farm houses
but step from the road side, when
broad acres stretch away behind
them; how frequently are they set ON
a fiat or in a little hollow, when
within stones throw gentle hill
seems made on purpose for their ac-
commodation. Here the eye may
wander at will over charming Ian d.
scapes. To this the heavy fogs
which bring frosts late and eal ly In
the lowlands will not ascend; here
the zephyrs will play all the Sum-
mer's day, when ON the plain below
not breath of Of air Is sti rring.
Then, too. how numerous are the
RECONSTRUCTED, unsightly, incommo-
dious dwellings. erected without any
regard to the rules of archi lecture or
the principles of taste. A graceful
portico, q hooded window a project
ing gable added here and there, at q
trifling expense. would make many

an air of refinement that would be
money in the Golfers of Its owner II
he wished to sell. and equal In its
civilizing power to term at sch DOL

for permanent residence. In cities
where land Is sold by the inch, we
expect to find houses with many
stories. but what propristy il there
In building houses In the country
Containing three ar four flights Of
stairs to the upper apartments &?
Surely the farmers wife finds her
work labOrious enough, il the round
OF her duties may all be gone through
on one floor, but where two, three,
or dozen stairs must be passed over
ascore Of times every day, much of
her strength Is wasted In exertion
for which she can never show any
result. A shady back yard is very
desirable In country house. Here
children can play under the eye Of
their mother, many domestic opera
tions can be carried ON. such as
washing. churning, ironing and Q
great many hours be passed In the
open air that would otherwise be
spent In . hot kitchen. One great
reason why farmers are stronger and
more cheerful than their wives re-
suits from constant breath ing of fresh
air In the field and furrow. MANY
varieties Of both fruit and forest trees
grow rapidly; and year or two from
the time of transplsnting afford q
grateful shade. While our rooms
should not be deprived of daily sun
shine by an excess OF trees about our
houses, dense canopy not far from
