THE SANDMAN.

o harki the sandman's comingI
Do you not hear his tread?
He's coming up the stairway
It's time you were a-bed.
You say you are not sleepy!
Look! there the sandman stands,
j And laughs at all such speeches.
J, He shakes from out his hands
The grains OF sand so precious
Right into Willie's eyes,
And sets the boy a-nodding,
Then suddly he spies
Toms look of bold defiance;
He gives hearty throw
The sand falls fast and heavy,
And down his lashes 20.
He drops the sand-grains lightly
On little Amy's head,
Until she signs: I'm sleepy!
gueSs-rll go-to bed"
They say goodnight demurely.
The sandman, wild with glee,
Leads OF as willing captives.
The merry children three,
And sees them safe in Dreamland.

LOW-GRADE GLOVES.
How They are Made in the Mountain Dis.
tricts of Bohemia.

1t may, perhaps, interest readers to
know some of the secrets of cheap
glove-making. My facts relate to Be-
hernia, from which country many cheap
gloves are imported. Before the intro
duction Of the glove sewing machine,
which took place about 1870, a simple
apparatus was in use consisting of two
brass plates. in which the stitches were
incised, holding tightly together the
leather parts of the glove, while the
needle of tho sewer followed easily
these incised stitches. 1t was an easy
work, not at all injurious to body or
eye, and an industrious and quiet girl
could, without any exertiOn, sew two
pairs of gloves a day. for which she
received from q pence to Spence each,
equal to about pence to 6 pence day.
Very poor wages. But the money was
earned in a comfortable way.
Let us now compare what progress
these girls made in the golden era Of
machinery. The poor sewers are
never in position to acquire the
requisite sum to be owners of these
machines. The district to which L
refer is a poor, mountainous part,
the men mostly miners of an imperial
silver mine, with daily wages of 16
| pence. The requisite machines are
owned by middlemen, called factors, to
whom the glove manufacturers from
all parts of Austria send their untin-
ished gloves for sewing. These factors
are proprietors of a certain number of
machines-from twenty upwards to a
hundred-which are fitted up in work.
rooms, most of them very inditferently
suited for the purpose. The poor girls
from the neighboring district have
| often to walk distance of eight miles
to find work in such workrooms. They
leave their miserable cottages at 4
a. m. to begin their days work at 6
a. m. After a hard labor of twelve
hours on a most complicated machine,
and after having passed another two
hours on their way home, their whole
earning consists of pence. Including
tho hours she loses on the road, she
works ninety six hours a week for
shillings pence, her body continually
bent over most complicated machine,
her eyes watching leather, thread. and
needle necessarily, her foot moving
continually, amid the rattle of many
machines, in o most sickly atmosphere.
This is how cheap gloves are made

This question has been much discussed, and
the pros and cons may be summed up as fob

testified to by Dorothea Dix, who investi-

of the army, and by southern soldier, who
declared that his was one of the shots that
struck the flagstaff On the other side are
Gen. Jubal Early and two others. who testify
that Jackson's corps did not pass through

BIRDS AT DAWN.

1T lover sings bird on high,
In the azure sky,
And a reverend hush falls deep
On the souls that lie
Half walking out of sleep;
And the sky takes fairer blue,
And the flowers brighter hue,
As calm and clear
On the listening ear
There sounds through the clouds above,
The song Of the bird, 81 Lowell"
"Rejoicel'' trills the bird again;
Without sense OF pain
1t enters the soul; no grief
Seeks for help in vain,
But all find sweet relief;
And the dawning Of hope is near
The sorrowful heart to cheer,
And fair shines the sun,
For the night is done,
As ever in clearer voice
The bird sings on, 'Rejoice!''
