Female Labor in Berlin.

Of the 437, 900 self-reliant persons in
Berlin, there are about 100000 women,
SO that they are about 80 per cent. of the
whole. Seventy .one per cent. of these
woman have come from abroad. The
terrain of female labor in Berlin is very
comprehensive. To judge from the
statistics, women prefer that of common
service or hiring out, tailoring, laundry,
attendance, millinery, making of arti-
fetal flowers and articles of leather,
tapestry manufacturing of cartoons,
fancy articles and umbrellas. These
branches of industry are sought more
by women than men. In the sphere of
education and instruction the proportion
between the two sexes is nearly equal !;
there are almost as many male as female
educators The same holds good in the
manufacture of laces, fringes, etc., also
in attending bathing institutions. The
women are largely represented in stores
and trading generally, in factories of
articles of leather, in restaurants, hotels,
furnishing rooms, attendance on the
sick, hair dressing and cabinet-making,
in which they generally as widows con-
tinue the business of their deceased
husband

An Autumn Day.

Henry Ward Beecher thus describes
an autumn day But the holiday hills |
Have the evening clouds, suffused with
sunset, dropped down and become fixed
into solid formsa Have the rainbows
that followed autumn storms faded upon
the mountains and left their mantles
there2 I stand alone upon the peaceful
summit of this hill, and turn in every
direction. The east is all aglow the
blue north flashes all her hills with
radiance the west stands in FURNISHED
armor; the southern hills buckle the
zone of the horizon together with
emeralds and rubies, such as were never
set in the tabled girdle of the gods
OF gazing there cannot be enough. The
hunger of the eye grows by feeding.
Lifted far above all harm of fowler or
impediment of mountain, wild fowl are
steadily flying southwark.

Grandfather.

Grandfather sits by the open door,
And around his feet the sunbeams play,
While his scant gray locks are gently stirred
By the breath OF the mild October day.
His gaze is turned toward the distant hills,
Where the trees are yellow and green and
gold,
And they seem to say to the old mans heart,
"See! we grow lovely as we grow old /"
Over the landscape far and near H
Grandfather looks with tear-dimmed eyes,
For on the meadow, as on the hills.
The shadow Of summers slow death lies.
But over it all, with restful calm,
There fingers a dreamful, tender haze,
And the breeze is fragrant with stolen sweets
In memoriam Of the summer days.
Grandfather thinks of the years gone by,
The springtlme first of his merry youth,
And then the summer of manhood's joys,
When his heart grew warm with love and
truth.
"Alas !" he murmurs " that time has passed,
Aud winter comes for the year and me:
Who knows, as the chill of age creeps on,
How lonely iu my death shall be r
Grandfather lies on the hillside brown
Lies at rest-and the setting sun
Kisses the spot where loving hands
Laid him down when his life was done.
And over the meadow over the hills,
The breeze goes sobbing the livelong day
For the fair, sweet summer whose life went
out
With the shadow of winter chill and gray.

DiYerting Children.

When child is hurt. never hush its
cries. 1t is inexcusable barbarity i
is repressing its instincts ; and for this
reason, if physical punishment is in
ficted upon child it is perfect bru-
tality. A thousand times better is it to
soothe by kindly words and acts, divert
the mind by telling stories, by explain
ing pictures, or by providing it with
new toys. We have many a time, saysa
famous doctor, in our professional ex-
perience as to sick children, found more
benefit to be derived from beautiful or
interesting toy than from dose of
physic. The greatest humanity q moth
or can exhibit in respect to her sick
child is to divert it, divert it, in all pleas
ing ways possible. We are sometimes
children ourselves, and feel sometimes
really sick, when cheerful face and
much loved friend has come in, and be-
fore we know it we have forgotten what
was the matter with us.

So Jennie was going to Ethan, was
she John Weare took Bibbs home,
and on his way presented him with
white woolly lamb that moved ON wheels
and squeaked, and monkey that went
up stick on being gently pushed.
"Crying over her silver thing |" said
John Weare. "Ill go and hang about
the Ethan road till 1 see her and beg
her pardon"
And he went, and Jennie met him, and
pouted, and declared she, hadn't once
thought of him, and then broke down
and cried. And John begged her par
don, and declared that he had been a
heartless brute and then Jennie con-
tradicted him and said it was all her
fault, and told him how Mrs. Dunlap,
the colonels wife, had walked in and
told her, in the kindest possible manner,
that she was spelling her sisters bust
ness, for the ladies who had been inter-
ested in her welfare kept away because
of Jennie's flirting propensities, which
filed up the shop with idle officers, who
were always in the way and how she
had been so ashamed AMI wretched, and
so cut up at the desertion of John
Weare, that she had determined to go
back to Devonshire.
"But you won't now2" he said, as
they leaned over the stile leading to the
Ethan fields.
"YouH get ready at once, and we'll
be married as soon as possible, before
the fruit of the garden is spoilt 2"
1t took long time to talk her into it
(about three quarters of an hour), but
then she was very happy at heart, and
chartered like young magpie, and told
John how she had snubbed Captain Nc
Gee, and had thrown all his flowers out
of the window.
"And it really was all through that
Bibbs that you waylaid me tonight ~
she asked.
Certainly"
"Why, but for him I might never
have seen you again.
" Perhaps not"
"I'll give Bibbs regular hug when !
get home" she thought. And she did;
and the day before she was married she
bought him rocking horse, which he
delights in to this day. '

A Blind Leader.

A gentleman in Boston, who for over
fifty years has been totally blind, was
recently standing in Dock square, that
city, with a friend, when a passing
stranger inquired the way to Marion
street. "Marion street," said the blind
man (; "why, of course. I'm going to
the Providence depot, and I'll show you.
Come along" He grasped the stranger
by the arm and walked briskly off with
him, talking in an animated way and
avoiding the street cars and other OBJ
structions with marvellous ease. This
same gentlemen not long since visited
Europe. A friend inquired j: "What on
earth did you visit Europe for3' "Why,
to see the world Of course. My wife is
my eyes, and can enjoy sightseeing as
well as anybody.

Ice-Making at Montgomery, Ala.

The process of making ice at the
great manufactory at Montgomery is as
follows: The water is distilled, put
into rectangular tin cans, thirty inches
long and nine and half inches wide
and three-fourths of an inch thick.
These are placed in rows in tanks filled
with salt water, coming not quite to their
tops. Ether, which has been iquidized
in an adjoining room under pressure
of from seventy to one hundred and ten
pounds to the square inch, is then
forced into about one hundred pipes in
each, filling all the tubes as it expands
into a gas. The ether extracts the
caloric from the water surrounding the
tube, equalizes the temperature, and
brings the whole below freezing point.
The distilled water congeals readily,
and the salt is brought down several de-
grees colder than ice, without freezing.
The gas passes on to receiver, and is
again made to do service. It is difficult
to confne it, but if allowed to escape,
the same quantity can be used continu-
ally. It is said that ether is better than
mercury, as the latter eats out copper
and iron pipes quickly, while the for
mer does not affect the metals. Three
times day the cans are taken out,
dipped into hot water, which loosens the
cake inside, and slabs of ice are pro-
duced weighing twenty -fvep pounds each.
-Four of these are piled on top of each
other and allowed to freeze together,
making one hundred pounds to the
block.

very dirty patients, who cannot be placed
with the inhabitants, have their own
rooms, with suitable arrangements. We
found everywhere exquisite cleanliness
and good air and light /; the patients
seemed to relish their dinner well they
enjoy, even in the asylum, a great deal
of liberty, and if a lunatic asylum could
be called a cheerful place, the one at
Gheel is, perhaps, the only one to which
that term could be applied. Good paved
roads traverse the commune, and many
houses are really fine villas, with large
gardens in the rear. The first house
which we visited was the house of poor
people. We found the family, composed
of man, wife and three young children,
and their two lunatic boarders, seated
around the table at dinner. The chill
dren seemed to be quite unaware that
they were sitting at the side of lunatics,
nor woulda stranger entering unprepared
ever have thought of the presence of
such persons. After some more visits
of the kind, we went to the principal
tavern, to which fine large hall is at
tached, where there is fete, concert,
and dancing every Sunday. Some of
the houses of the wealthier class were
now visited. They offer all the comforts
which can be desired for ladies and
gentlemen. The apartments are large,
well furnished, and the patient may in
stall in them libraries and whatever is
allowed by the director. We found
there persons of very high social rank,
and others of great accomplishments. In
the streets we met at every moment
lunatics lounging before the doors of the
houses, smoking pipes or cigars, playing
with the children, or otherwise amusing
themselves. Among the wealthier class
of patients at Gheel it is nothing uncom-
mon to find persons who spend there
from 9300 to $500 year. Some keep
cars and horses for their use. The au.
thorities watch carefully that the patients
are not imposed upon, and that they re-
ceive it's value for the money which they
spend. Cases of misconduct of any kind
toward a patient are, however, exceed
ingly rare, and the punishment of being
declared unworthy to keep patients is
considered fearful disgrace.

Mr.. Milliss of Brooklyn takes deep

Napoleon and the Stone. Cutter.

Napoleon, when in the height of his
power, being once at Amiens, whilst
traversing the square, in the midst of
the acclamations of the inhabitants who
had assembled around him, cast his eyes
upon the multitude, and perceived, in
one of the corners of the square, q stone
cutter who had not been induced to quit
his work by the curiosity which animated
the crowd by whom he was surrounded.
The indifference of this man excited the
curiosity of Napoleon. He wished to
know something about him and, pass
ing through the crowd, urged on his
horse until he arrived close to him.
"What are you doing there9" said Ma
poleon. The workman raised his eyes,
and recognized the emperor. 81 am
cutting stone." "You have served
under me-" quickly observed the en-
peror, who recognized an old soldier.
eft is true, sir" "You were present at
the campaign of Egypt-you were a
brigadier in such corpse" "Yes,
sir" "Why have you quilted the SER
vice." "Because had completed my
time, and obtained my discharge" "I
am sorry for it you were brave man
I shall be happy to do for you any
thing in my power; say, what do you re-
quire from mea" "That your majesty
will leave me to cut my stone in quiet !;
my work sufices me am in want of
nothing" This fact brings to mind the
interview of Diogenes with Alexander /;
but the modest pride of the Greek
philosopher was not equal to the reply
of the stone cutter.

A remarkable case OF seduction has oc-
CURED not far from Georgetown, Brown
county, Ohio. The daughter of respects-
BILE farmer in that neighborhood was de-
bauohed by the son of a gentleman living
near by. The girls shame was concealed
from every body but a married sister and
the mother, until the seducer himself chose
20 divulgeit. In the meantime, however, a
child was born and introduced to the house
of the girl as q founding. The seducer
has since met with partial punishment
through the desertion of his newly-mar-
ried wife; and the excavations of the peo-
pie In the vicinity have made bis home an
undesirable residence. The case in some
of its details is one Of the most remarkable
on record.
