STRIKES.

1t is a curious thing that plain la.
Dor is the s~carcest, ard when the
most men are out of employment
that laborers should undertake to
force the question Of wages, but SO
it is. With 80, 900 able bodied men
out of employment in this city, with
an ugly winter before them, during
which the stoppsge IF labor from MAJ
ural causes will swell this army to
$1,000, agitators are pushing strikes.
No less than FIVE are being organized
at this tine, which if carried out will
make bad work this winter. The
1ongshoremen are organizing a strike
against a reduction of wages, which
the steamship and other companies
insist upon; while the eoopers are
about to turn out to oppose an edict
Of the bosses, that no a in their
employ shall belong to q Union. The
others are of less Importance, because
there areless men engaged in. them;
but every strike, however small,
must result badly. The employers
are not making money; and to most
of them an excuse TO shut down is a
relief rather than a damage. There
tore they viii not oppose strikes to
any extent, but permit them to go
on. The number of people out Of
work makes it easy to get labor
enough to do all they want to keep
up a show of business, and to be
ready for operations when business
resumes. There viii be intense
suffering in the city this winter.

TRADE

Very few men are making money
at all in New York, especially those
in legitimate merchandise. The
daily sales of merchandise in the ei-
ty foot up SIS, 600. 600; and one
would suppose there ought to be
some money made out of this sum to-
tai of trade, but there is not. The
expenses of running a jobbing trade
are enormous; and it takes an i'm
mense trade to keep it going. In a.
respectable store, the item Of gas
alone amounts to 5000 per annum.
Then the cost of keeping men on the
road, of book-kcepers. cashiers, buy
ers, statesmen, and the enormous item
Of rent, which is never less than $5sl
600, and more frequently $4,000,
absorbs profits terribly. And re-
member that cash goods are not jol-
bed at a profit of one per cent. on
leading articles; and almost every
the sharp buyer manages to
make leading. Tha merchant labors
for the landlord, as a rule.
The fact is, the men who haze
made money ia New York, baveI
soce it in real estate, the same as
everywhere else. Business is liable
o too many fluctuations. OF the
business men Of the city not over (

Wome1n's Work.

If women ask men for work, remarks
Miss Emily Faithful, they will get what
they have always got-that kind men
do not want to 90 themselves. Thew
will get hard work, rough work, coarse
work, poorly paid work, hopeless work,
all the cant about sex Notwithstanding.
But if they really want to be independ-
ent, if they want their share of the good
things Of life, if they want to make a
home for themselves: if they want to
help others, let them be neither afraid
nor ashamed, bat begin with any honest
labor, for which they are paid, and
work up. The difficulty with women
is not that they are idle, but that their
habits are so desultory, and their work
so objectless. If the wretched little
child's play which women call "fancy
work" could At once. be blotted out Of
their existence it would be an incalcu-
liable blessing. What would be thought
ofa man or grown boy who could de-
liberately sit down day after day and be
content to kill time by working ridicu-
lous little pen-vipers, bead napkin rings
and the like, which no one dreams Of
ever using; he would be. considered and
rightly, as either a fool or crazy.

seminary girls:-
. 1 have found in the class room that
the giras with the most on the outside
Of their heads have the least inside.
Last summer l heard .fashionably
dressed young lady read her graduating
essay, earnestly demanding a "wider
sphere for women" while her chest was
so narrowed by artificial means that she
could hardly read her essay. She evi-
IDENTIFY thought this whole world a
"pent-up Utica that was confning her
powers; but all the poor girl needed
was sufficient strength and independence
Of character to free herself from the
thraldom of fashion, and go to work in
an earnest way to bring nearer to Christ
the world she had found so sadlv ont Of
order. Some of you, my dear girls
may be filed with s' Infinite lono;nos''

what our sex most needs at present is
women who, unembarrassed BY fashion,

many Of our Western homes and vii
lagos. The idea which seems to govern
English home life is, that here families
expect to live permanently, and not
merely to stay, and whatever is essen
tial to the real comfort of life is worth
providing for. Hence the houses and
cottages are all built of stone OF stucco,
and tastefully set off with some archi.
tectural adornment, or, at least, have
their roughness softened and their na-
kedness covered with shrubs or Chamber
ing ivy. The winding lanes are border
ed with, not with struggling and un-
seemly rail fences, but either with neat
ly trimmed hedges or substantial stone
walls, over which creeping ivy or some
climbing and Towering vine trails it's
clusters and hangs its luxurient wreaths {;
while the wicket gates that occasionally
open path through them across the
fields are specimens Of ingenuity that
show whence the Yankee derived his
power Of invention.

Western people who are worried by the
hateful grasshoppers'' to turn to and

but whether or not that principle should

which we know along with his various
unlovable peculiarities is infested with

English Homes.

One noticeable feature observed by
travellers in passing along English roads,
and by English homes is the air of re-
pose and domestic comfort which pre-
walls everywhere, and as condition Of
this, the thoughtful care and painstak.
ing finish which is bestowed on every.
thing, however rude, in contrast with
the unfinished and extempore look Of
