AN OLD MANS COMPLAINT

sigh and weep tonight, dear wife, }i! ~
For old and happy days when we were young;
When this great world was fair and bright,
Our work of life Their only just begun.
Twill bring the tears to my dim ewes
To see the w0eful changes Time has wrought:
They say the new ways are the best,
But am sure that seine were dearly bought!
How strong we were! How glad we felt
10 drink new lie from mornings early
How like the presence Of friend,
We're the protecting arms Of those old trees!
And how we loved the fires bright blaze
It's cheerful sparkle was our only light;
But now we sit by stoves quite dumb,
And black and dreary as q stormy night!
We laborcd with hearty wilt.
plowed from early morn till dewy night;
And you would spin and weave our clothes,
Because to work with mo you thought it
right.
Then with sack upon my arm
I'd toss the wheat upon the fallow field;
And ripe, while cutting with the hook,
Thank God, and not machines, for hountcous
yield!
know thew think that am slow,
They call machines great and valued boon !;
They're made 50 perfect ana complete
That wheat is cut and mi]led aud baked by
nOonw
To plant the corn we took our hoe,
But now they drive the planter and long rope;
They say their work is better done,
And that fast work is our great countrys
hope!
No work is done without machines,
And they are full of complications strange!
The poor old man is left alone
Farmers belong to what they call the grange!
With Cristian fellowship and love
We once could meet to humbly preach and
pray;
We'd sing with hearts aglow with love,
And shout and talk Of faith along the way.
But now with aching heart feel
Religion, like the rest, is something new;
For We must pray In costly church,
Upright and stiff, in a bright cushioned pew!
Now the dear bibles laid aside
And papers read! the world is moved by steam
And now machines are made to talk!
Alas it seems like some wild, cruel dream.
This worlds strange, bewildering place,
cannot think all change is for the best!
The ways and things once loved are gone,
And am signing for the land Of rest!
HOPE VT. PRosIM.

ABOUT SPOOLS.

The Machines and Operatives WHO Make
Them.
From the Boston Commercial Bulletin.
White birch is largely used in this
manufacture, and as extensive forests of
this wood grow throughout the State of
Maine, Canada and the provinces, MANY
spool factories are located in those Sec
tons in order that supplies Of material
may be easily procured. The wood after
being delivered to the factories is first
sawed into pieces about four feet long
and from an inch to an inch and half
square, according to the size of the spool
it is required to make. These pieces are
put into lighthouse and thoroughly
dried, from whence they are taken into
the factory and given to the "roughers,'
who in an incredibly short space Of time
bore hole in the center couple of
inches deep, turn about the same space
round, and then cut of the length re-
Quired for spool. The machines used
for this purpose are revolving planners, in
the center Of which is a revolving gimlet
or bit, and Immediately to the right a
circular saw with a gauge set to the
proper size of the spools. The ''rough.
ers" receive a cent and half per
gross for their work, and experienced
men can turn out from 100 to 100 gross
per day. The round blocks pass from
them to the "finlshers, who place them
in machines which give them the shape
Of spools and makes them quite smooth.
A man stands with his left hand on a
small lever, and with the right places the
h1ooLe Of finn ~ hn 1o%h
then draws the lever toward him for an
instant and the work is done. The lever
is pushed back and the spools drop down
into box below, while the right hand is
ready with another block. These blocks
are handled at the rateof twenty-five or
thirty per minute. The ''inishers'' also
receive cent and halt per gloss, and
they can each turn out from 100 to 1870
gross per day. The spools were then
thrown loosely into a large cylinder,
which rcvolves slowly so that the speols
are polished by the constant rubbing up
on each other for some time. On being
taken out of the cylinder they are placed
in hopper with an opening at the bot.
tom, through which they pass down a
slide tor inspection. Here the inspector
sits and watches closely to see that no
imperfect spools are allowed to pass, and
very small knot or scratch is sufficient
to condemn them. The spools then pass
into the hands OF the packers, who han.
die them very rapidly. They are packed
in large boxes made the proper size, so
that the layers of spools exactly till the
box and no additional packing, and a
smart boy who is accustomed to the work
can pack about 200 gross per day.

When Mrs. Beardsley was we'll enough

The mountains clasp 1t, warm and sweet,
Like sunny child to their rocky feet.
Three nearly lakes and hundred streams

Forever there the still, old trees
Drink wine that has no lees.

Where lowland slumber waits the rill;

As throb electric along straw,
When boyish lips the cider draw?
