To find that fortune at your coming flies,

Against the leech, the calomel, the bed
Oh inconsiderate person, cease to pout-
You might be dead
And this one hath the mitten; he has wooed
Vainly, alack, his wooing it has sped
Well-even in this there's comfort, rightly
viewed
He might be we'd
And here is one who whines; his all is swept
Away in panic; he has had to ''fail.
He should, think, be cheerful, that he's kept

The Working women Of New York,

There arc In this city some 100 or more
factories for the manufacture of ladies'
and children's clothing, in each of which
are employed from twenty to 500 women
and young girls. These female workers
are In their places from in the morning
until at night, with half hour at noon
for lunch. The doors are locked at half
past s, and during working hours no one
is allowed to enter or leave the shop.
Could any one force his way into one of
these places, he would be confronted
with the curious spectacle OF gangs Of
haaggaFd women and wan, spiritless girls
Of ten years and upward, lowering over
hundreds Of swift,fying machines, silent
~ passing the garments from hand to
hand unGer the watchful eye Of an over
seer. He would see scores of narrow
chested women bent in silence over the
pressing board, iron in hand, in heated,
unventilated rooms. He would find rag
ged young girls silently folding dainty
garments and boxing them for the mar
ket.
These women and girls work in silence,
because that overseer has the power to
fine them the cost of loaf Of bread for
every sentence spoken, and, in case of
many of those children, that means the
net results Of days work
These women and children get their
wages once in two weeks. The average
net earnings do not exceed "a. 80 or So. 90
q week. The employees are held respon-
sible for all damages to tools and fur
nishings, and even for the breakage OF
the machine needles, so that after all de-
ductions have been made it is not an un-
common thing for woman TO find her
wages for two weeks reduced to the sum
of $3, and checks as low as eighty cents
for the two weeks are often made out for
the young girls. Here and there, in rare
instances, you may find an extraordinary
woman so swift handed and skillful that
she can do enough in the two weeks of
ia hours to make out bill of $24 for
the fortnight but from this are deducted
81. 90 or So for the thread used This
thread is supplied to the operators by the
firms at rate somewhat below the regu-
larretail prices, but considerable adj
vance on the wholesale prices.
At lunch, which is necessarily taken in
the shops, tea or coffee is furnished but
must be paid for in advance. settlements
being made once in two weeks.
Now, taking into account that the most
meager board, in the poorest ana cheap
est quarters of the city, is at least 50 per
week, how many of these women and
children die of starvation in the course
