j know maiden very lair to see,
She's lived OF years one little charming
score;
Often, when from my daily labors free,
seek admittance at her fathers door.
like her we'll and l would like her more
But that fear me there may be many such,
OF learning she has such u mighty store;
Alas! ulasi this maiden knows so much.
She reads the Greek, and very learnedly
OF music, art, and science; poetry
She writes, Alas! this most do deplore.
Learning exudes, say, from every pore,
While ignorance doth hold me in its clutch,
say again, just as said before,
Alas! alas this maiden knows SO muchl
She also works in clay. and valiantly
She hammereth brass, to all the Eeayy lore
She adds the lighter. So 1t seems to me
She paints. Ye. gods! to-day her canvas
bore
A scene like none on sea and snore;
The ivory keys know well hi sSiliful touch,
Like any college U.ftn she I,tI.l AN oar;
Alas! alas! this lGalicu Knows too muchl
But she for whom my Very beings core
Is sad, is not this Very Learned SHE.
10 all her excellence do agree:
Hut still do not want a wife TO soar
While go hobbling on upon n crutch.
want real nice girl, no less, no more:
want girl who does not know SO much.

AFFAIRS At FALL RIVER.
a REDUCTION IN WAGES IN EFFECT.
EStenNve Complaint of the Operatives at
the Di,crinination--A Large Number
of Loom FiXerS Quit Work-Prob-
able Action of the Spinncrs.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan l9.--The re
duccd schedule of wages took effect at all
the mills in this city to-day. The reduc-
tton varies with the different classes OF
help. Previous to this reduction the spin
ners received three cents per hundred
hanks, regardless Of the size of mules.
Those who were unable to earn as much
weekly as those employed on large mules
were paid an extra bonus in addition to
the schedule price of three cents per hun
dred. Under the reduction, spinners on
large mules get %, cents per hundred
hanks, cut of l2'6 per cent; spin
ners on intermediate mules get > 40 cents
II cut OF 10 per cent, and spnners on
small mules who formerly received three
cents per hundred and an extra one
eighth of n cent per hundred and, % cents
per week additional, now get two and
1evcn-tenthS cents with ~ cents extra per
week. Back boys on large mules are cut
from ~ cents per day to - cents on small
mules, from 23l2 cents per day to 20 cents.
The reduction on SpinncrS has been made
with view of reducing the pay of spin
ncrS on large mules, who earn the largest
weekly payin greater proportion than the
wages of SpinnerS on small mules There
is consequently much complaint among
men working on large mules, and the
Spinncrs will endcavDr to secure Il revision
of the schedule during the week.
Although there was much complaint
among operatives, the reduction was gen
orally accepted quietly and work progress
ed aS usual. There was only a small
number of spiunerS at the union head
