On THE first day of this month there
was great rupture among the iaboring
classes. Some demanded eight hours and
the same pay as though they worked ten,
others nine hours with an increase Of wages
while others general advance. Property
and money are the capital for the capitalist
and labor is the capital for the laborer,an
II becomes necessary for each to look care
fully after their interests. The country is
full Of the former who watch every point
10 take advantage Of the laborer, while on
the other hand the thousands Of laborers
watch every opportunity to take advantage
OF theil employers. With these two ex-
tremes in the field bad state OF affairs
has been brought about. The laborers
have formed unions and pay dues monthly
to maintain them, In order TO fight capital
lists; but even that plan has not met with
success: The officers fare we'll but the
subordlnates are 10 be classed as slaves, In
one sense. They mature no opinions Of
their own to create revenues, but rely up
on others to frame opinions and yield to
their dictates, which results In bad feeling
and often blood is sned. We do not be-
lieve that there are many persons in this
country that have become very wealthy
who have belonged TO unions. II is the
individual who has run his affairs individ-
ually: that has accumulated wealth. He
thinks and acts for himself; II he cannot
make living in one way he turns his
hand to something else; If bis employer
does not suit him he politely informs HIM
OF the fact and leaves his service In an
honorable way.

JENNYS WHITE ROSE.

1t was in the sweet June afternoon the busy
housewife sat
All alone, save on the heaYth-rug dozed the sleek
gray household cat;
For the small feet, wont to patter on the spot
less kitchen floor
In the sunny summer weather chased the daisied
meadows Ger
Out OF doors the noisy swallows twittered I'M
derneath the caves
And q breezy joy had set a-quiver all the ancient
poplar's leaves,
While the shining ripples chased each other
through the tender wheat
And the breath of clover blossoms from the now
ing fields came sweet.
In the quaint old garden there were roses white
and blush and red;
There we're ranks of gay Sweet Williams, and of
pinks snowy bed;
Balm with cups OF sweetest nectar that the va
grant bees loved well,
And clump of fringy southernwood that gave a
goodly smell
By the open window, with her mendiug basket
by her SIDE
YEARLY the shining needle long the busy house
wife piled:
YEARLY, with many sigh, for Jenny's heart
was out of tune
With the gladness Of the sunshine of the rare
June afternoon.
All It was the same old story! Woman's work
never done
Always one dull round Of labor from the dawn
till set of sun
Weeds were choking up her flower beds; there
upon the shelf unread
Lay the precious book of poems she so long
had coveted
Lost n disconnected musings scarce did Jenny's
lstless ear
Catch the sound of Robins CHEEKY whistle and
swift footsteps near;
When brown hand playfully was laid upon her
silken hair,
Stroked it with tender touch, and left white
rose sticking there.
1t was but simple white rose, and a brown
hands light caress,
Yet it cured so quickly all her heartache and
her WEAKNESS;
And her eyes grew dim and tender with a sud
den, happy rain
For somehow that white rose in her hair had
made her young again!

Robin of his love had told her in that lovely
'long ago.
First, with hand a tremble, stuck a white rose
in her silken braid
And with Stolen kiss blush rose of her fair,
young cheek had made.
And the heart of Jenny smote her, for in those
bright days long gone
he had fondly thought to toll for Robin should
be joy, and JOY alone.
Surely she had proved scarce worthy of that
loyal heart of his
If so soon love tired of service, tired of humble
ministries?
Then once more the old-time love light bright.

And she hummed love song softly, while her

For somehow that white rose in her hair had set
her heart in tune
With the music and the sunshine of the sweet

THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES.
What This and Other Famous Statues
Have Probably Cost,

Have Probably Cost,
The famous Colossus of Rhodes which
was made of bronze and was seventy
cubits Tor about one hundred and five
feet in height, was twelve years in
making, and is said to have cost only
800 talents, or about e75,0O0, if we
reckon the Attic talent, or a1o2, 900 if
we reckon the other talent, and proba-
bly, the other talent is to be reckoned in
this case. At all events, the so-called
Colossus of the Sun, in the Capitol,
which was bronze figure of Appolla,
only thirty cubits-or forty-fve feet
English-high, brought by Marcus Luz
cullus from Appollonia, in Pontus. cost
five hundred talents, which, if reckoned
even as Attic talents, would be over
9125, 600, and it would hardly be proba-
BILE that the Colossus of Rhodes, which
was twice its height, could have been
executed for SO much less. But this is
trife compared to the price paid for a
colossal statue of Mercury, made for the
city of Averni, in Gaul by Zenodorus.
On this work he was engaged for ten
years and the cost of it was e335, 600.
What the gold and ivory Athena of
Phidias in the Parthenon, or his Zeus at
Olympia cost is stated by any ancient
author. The gold employed on the NOV
able drapery alone of the Athena was
over forty talents in weight of unalloyed
gold, according to Thucydides, whose
exactness in such matters is above sus-
picious. This would be equivalent to
some $4,000 in coin, while single
lock on the head of the Zeus at Olympia
weighed six mine, or about the value of
nearly e5, 900. For the famous statue of
Diadumenos. which was bronze figure
of life size, representing youth tying
a fillet round his head, Po1yclettus re-
ceived 100 talents, or about e25, O00.-

Take, for, instance, shiny old coat,
vest or pair of pants, of boadcloth, cassi-
mere or diagonal. The scourer makes d
strong, warm soap-suds and plunges the
garment into it, souses it up and down,
rubs the dirty places, if necessary puts
it through the second suds, then rinses
it through several waters, and hangs it
to dry on the line. When nearly dry he
takes it in, rolls it up for an hour or
two. and then presses it. An old cotton
cloth is laid on the outside of the coat,
and the iron passed over that until the
wrinkles are out; but the iron is re-
moved before the steam ceases to rise
from the goods, else they would be
shiny. Wrinkles that are obstinate are
removed by laying q wet cloth over
them. and passing the iron over that.
If any shiny places are seen, they are
treated as the wrinkles are; the iron is
lifted while the full cloud of steam rises,
