Alleged Cruelty to Cigar-Makers.

The Cigar-MakerS' Official Journal, a
paper published in the interest of the
strikers in New York, says: "Only
which prevails in the cigar factories
who have experienced and seen that
the yoke of slavery has been increasing
from day to day; and to show to what eX-
tent the hands have been enslaved we
will give facts, and nothing but facts,
which have occurred in the leading
factory of the United States in New
York, which employs 1,150 hands.
The foreman of the shippers said one
day that he would place them in the
position of chattle slavery practiced
years ago in the South, by standing be-
hind them with a whip and making
them work like negroes. The follow
ing rule has been practiced and en-
forced: Any stripper caught in the act
of talking, whispering, looking up from
his lap, or tearing leaf accidentally,
will be fined twenty-five to fifty cents
A little girl was once fined one dollar.
A year ago law was in operation by
which a fine of five cents was i'm
posed for whispering, and the bell was
rung to signalize the horrible crime.
1t amounted to from fifty to seventy-five
cents per week to some persons. A boy
once so reduced in September, 1876, got
punished by his parents and drowned
himself in the river the day following.
The slave-driving foreman made the
remark that the other boys would have
to follow him to the grave in case they
should commit the same crime"

Mr.. A. Cottonhead, of the dry goods
persuasion, has for some time past been
making himself very numerous about
the residence of Sixth Ward widow
lady who is the proprietor of a daugh-
ter who is singularly beautiful, although
she is addicted to needlework. The
visitations of Mr.. C. had been in prog
ress until the elder lady began to in
quire of her daughter in that peculiarly
aggravating way which mothers have,
if she didn't think this thing has been
going on long enough when he met
her on the street the other morning and
remarked:
MRS. Acidulous, if you'll be at home
this evening should very much like to
see you"
go certainly, my dear Mr.. Cotton
head. shall make it my particular
business and my especial duty to be
disengaged," and as he turned the cor
ner she added to herself: "Well, it's a
good thing that young fellow has con-
cluded to get his proposal off, before it
bursts him or do"
In the evening Cottonhead appeared
in the Acidulous mansion, and found
the old lady awaiting him in state; in
fact in so much state that it pretty near
took his breath away. He hung his hat
on a vacant nail hole, and at once
proceeded to business.
MRS. A., I've been coming here for
some time because | wanted to ask your
daughter something, but I'm always so
nervous that | can't make up my mind
to do it, so thought if I'd ask you it
would do just as we'll"
"Maybe it will, now. Maybe it will.
I'm sure / never asked Maria how she
felt about it,
"Oh, l guess she's all right In fact,
I've no manner of doubt about it."
"Well, if she's satisfied, my dear Mr..
Cottonhead, I'm sure I've no desire to
stand in your way"
"Then you'll ask her if she will
oblige me by consent"
"Oh, give yourself no uneasiness, my
dear boy, I'm sure she'll consent"
I'm very much obliged to you both,
"Tm sure" said Cottonhead, with a
radiant smile; "Tll just consider it all
fixed, and tomorrow I'll send up the
stuff and one of my old ones"
WHAT" shrieked Mrs. A. in a
tone that lifted the youth half way
across the floor. Miserable man,
what are you talking about?"
"Shirts, madam, shirts. | want your
daughter to make me some"
"You forlorn IDIOT" and she arose
in majesty, pointing to the door, $50
home; go home, and tell your mother
to put some thickening in your brains"
And he went.-E0ston Free Press.

The Fat Mans Story,

The old fellow had a glazed carpet
bag. He seized by the button-hole
man whom he called George, and an
chored him only length or two to the
windward of me, SO couldn't help but
hear. There they pulled and tugged
and bobbed about the lamp-post until
the gentleman with the glazed carpet
bag, putting and wheeling in an indie
scribable manner, had spoken, as nearly
as can recollect, to the following eff
feet:
Eyes, George, just got home from
New York; came by Sound steamer,
and l haven't slept much, can tell you.
What's the matterP Well, I'll tell you.
In the first place, George, do look like
a man that would take advantage of
fellow with one Lego Don't I have
trouble enough getting my 270 pounds
along on two legs? Of course l do.
Well, now, George, | am just the same
toward married people, or people 60
ing to be married, as would be to that
one-legged soldier over there on the
other side of the street grinding The
Battle-cry of Freedom and | wish he
would move the war into the next street.
No, sir, l might have been married
man myself once, but l am not, for rea-
sons best known to lady who-but
pshaw! that was all thirty years ago,
and was going to tell you about last
night. I've noticed, by the way, George,
that young people a0iU get married on
any provocation whatever, and | dom
object to it, mind, unless they sit up all
night and court afterward, and rob me
Of my sleep. But what shall / say
about that couple last night right on
the Sound? turned in about ten O clock.
They hadn't even the excuse of being
married. They were just counting, and
it was the most tiresome piece of bust
ness you ever heard of-that fellow,
that idiot, saying the same thing over
and over. They were seated on the
guard, plump against my state-room
door. Well, George, it was awful.
came near getting asleep about eleven
O'Clock, and l really believe if he had
only changed the PAGES of his story, il
he had only trotted in few lies, just

Not the Dollar OF Our Fathers.

If the silver dollar is remonetized its
recoinage will have the effect of adding
a singularly beautiful piece to our Cir
culation, and give some relief to the
Liberty seated on vacancy and looking
into nothing which has disfgured our
silver currency for twenty years, The
new die, prepared in anticipation of
the passage of the bill, has on the OBJ
verse a medallion head of Liberty, with
sprigs of cotton and corn in place of
the traditional fillet. The execution of
the head is remarkably free, and the
arrangement of the hair on the fore
head and the disposition of the lines
around the chin and neck are treated
with remarkable grace and freedom.
The reverse has an eagle displayed.
The notices on the coin will be Omitted
States of America and "E Pluribus
Unum," with the date. Where the
secondary motto is to go, In God We
Trust" is not yet determined, but il
will not be left off. A study was made
of an eagle from life, but it proved I'M
satisfactory. and the antique type was
followed. ~ Washington Telegram.

BE MERRY WHILE YOU NAY.

There is a crook in every lot"
A shadow on the road
Through which we journey on to reach
A happier abode.
AS surely as the evening comes
To. close the eyes of day,
Willigrief appear; and So my dear,
Be merry while you may.
We cannot say to joy, Remain"
Nor unto grief, Departs"
The morning and the night must come
To every human heart.
And though the twilight hour dlspels
The cheerful, sunny ray,
Shed not a tear; but oh! my dear,
Be merry while you may.
The sky may not be always bright,
The sea not always calm,
Nor breezes bring an argosy
OF spices or of balm.
It's time enough to weep and mourn
When sorrow has its day;
And you II agree tbs well to be
Right merry while we may.
Along the shores of life the tides
Have ceaseless ebb and flow;
And through the year the seasons have
Their time to come and go.
Then let us make the best of life,
And if not always gay
Or full of glee. why shouldn't we
Be merry while we may.

The Church Journal expresses the
opinion that the churches are becoming
weary of unsettled opinion in ministers.
1t says: 1.-The practical laity are COM
ing to the conclusion that it is not their
mission to be the material for the ex-
periments of unfledged theologists. The
result is growing disposition to look
for men who have come to fixed con-
illusions, and who are not going to put
the minds of men in strain of dis
covering which are true, the notions of
the active-minded young rector this
year or his notions last"

OF crimson and of gold;
The sunny days were growing short,
The evenings long and cold;
So the swallows held parliament,
And voted it was time
To bid farewell to northern skies,
And seek a warmer cline.
Southward with glad and rapid flight
They flew for many mile.
I'LL In a quiet woodland glen
They stopped to rest awhile
streamlet rippled in the dell:
And on Il hawthorn tree
A robin-redbreast sat alone,
And caroled merrily.
The wandering swallows listened,
And eagerly said they:
. pretty birdl your notes are sweet:
Come fly with us away.
We're following the sunshine.
For it is bright and warm;
We're leaving winter far behind
With all its cold and storm.
The iron ground will yield no food,
The berries will be few;
Half-starved with hunger and with cold,
Poor bird, what will you do?"
Nay, nay, said he, - when frost is hard,
And all the leaves are dead.
