Auction Extraordinary.

1 dreamed a dream in the midst Of my
slumbers,
And rs fast as | dreamed it, it came into
numbers;
Ny thoughts ran along in such beautiful
meter,
I'm sure | ne'er saw any poetry sweeter.
II seemed that II law had been recently
made
That a tax on old bachelors pates should
be laid;
And in order to make them all willing to
marry,
The tax was as large as men could well
carry,
The bachelors grumbled, and said twas
no use
Twas horrid in justice and horrid abuse.
And said that to save their own hearts
blood from splitting
OF such a vile tax they'd not psy a shil
ling.
But the rulers determined them still to
pursue.
So they set all the old bachelors up at ven
duo.
A crier was sent through the town to and
fro
To rattle his bell and his trumpet to blow,
And to call all he might meet on his way,
l1O lOlbl Olu DhSnNlOlo cOlu llSlb hChuy
And presently all the old maids in the
town,
Each in her very best bonnet and gown,
From thirty TO sixty, fair, plain, red, and
pale,
OF every description, all focked to the
sale.
The auctioneer then in his labor began,
And called out aloud, as he held up = man,
How much for a bachelor? Who wants
to buyY'
In a twinkle every maiden responded,
IL"
In short, at a highly ~extravagant price,
The bachelors all were sold off in a trice,
And forty old mEidens, some younger,
some older,
Each logged an old bachelor home on her
shoulder.

Increased Usefulness of Women.

A Boston newspaper furnishes
the information that whereas in
1910 Harriet Martlneau found there
were only seven vocations, outside
of the household, in which women
were employed in Massachusetts,
now there ire no less than 2S4 diff
ferent branches ofindustry in which
they gain a livelihood in that state.
1t would take some time and ingen-
uity to figure out that many en-
Payments in which men are enga-
ged. 1t is further stated that over
$50, 900 Massachusetts, women
make their own living, not count
ing those who confne themselves
to taking care of their husbands
and children in the old-fashioned
way. AS there are less than a
million i'll the state, this means
that at least one female in every
four, children included, is employ
ed in bread-winning, separate and
apart from home duties.
Considering the number of wives
and stay-at-home daughters there
are in the average community
there is a temptation to doubt the
foregoing statements; but they
nevertheless cover a general truth,
which is to the effect that women
are turning their heads and hands
to pretty much everything they
find themselves capable of doing,
and to some things, perhaps, which
they are not very capable ofdoing.
Upon the streets of our cities the
presence Of neatly dressed, brisk
moving young business women
going to and from their labors, has
become a permanent feature. Long
ago they invaded the retail stores,
and now they are doing a better
paid order Of work in wholesale
establishments, railroad, telegraph
and lawyers, offices To = very con
siderable extent. Female steno-
graphs and type-writers are grow.
ing more and more numerous. In
the medical profession women have
become an old story and in the law
they no longer create surprise,
though they are scarce. They also
still refrain from invading the pull
pit to any marked extent, put they
are received on equal terms on the
lecture platform, and their domin.
ion over the schools has steadily
increased.
In short, the time has almost
come when the lot Of y young wo.
man without parents or a husband
to depend on, and without proper
ty of hsr own, is very little worse
than that OF a young nan depend
ing on his own exertions.
