It is tated that there are fifty thousand wo
men in New York city who are attempting to
keep off starvation with the little point of a nee
dle, and whose wares do not average half a dol
lar a day, while many by twelve or fourteen
hours' work, do not .make more than twelve
cents. ; Is" not this exaggerating a little? If it
! be true, it is a terrible tale of sufferinp: which
should evoke the sympathies ot an tne Denevo
leQt minded people, of the country. The right f
woman'to wuik and i her right to be paid the
worth of that work is undeuied;)and though U
may be argued by some that other so-called right.
as mffrage, &c., are necessary to secure this, yet
it is certain that those; mpst prominently urging
the. ballot for womem are not such as we would
expect to do any real work, that is to engage in

How a Lad Wheeled Himself into Fortrma
i t and Influencel ' j '
At a meeting of the stockholders of a promink
ent railway corporation, recently held in. thijs'
city, two gentlemen,- both well up in the world
-f-onc, however, considerably the senior of the
other. Id talking of old . titties gone by, the
younger gentleman i called the attention of' hia
friends and told a pleasant little story which
should be read with profit by every poor, iudus
trious and striving lid. We use his own Iani

Sage:..; ; ;i j .;! r
I '-Nearly half a century ago, gentlemen, I was
put upon the world to make my living. I was
stout, willing and able! considering my tender
years, and secured a place in a hardware store t
do all sorts of chores required. I was! paid
seventy-five dollars per year for, my, boyish serx
ices,, .One day, after I had been at work three
months or more, my, friend there Mr B whi
holds his . age remarkably well, came iuto the
store aud bought a large bill of shovels and tongs,
sad-irons aud pans, scrapers, and Etuttles, for li
was to be married next day, and was supplying:
nis nouscnoia iu advance, as was tne groom a
custom in those days, !The articles were packetl
on the barrow and made a load sufficiently heavy
for a young mule. But more willing than able;
I started off, proud that I could move such a
mass on the wheelbarrow. I got on remarkably
well till I struck the mud ruad, now Seventh
avenue, leading to my friend H.'s house. There
1 toiled and tugged and tugged and toiled, bnt
could not budge the load up the hill, the whee
goiug to its full half diameter n the mud every
time I would try to propel forward. I Finally &
good uatured Irishman jpassiug, by with his dray
tDok my barrow, self aud all on his vehicle, and
iu consideration of my promise to pay him a hit.
landed me at my place jf -destinatiou. j j
j I counted the articles carefully as I delivered
them, and with my empty barrow trudged my
way back, whistling with glee over my triumph
over difficulty. Some'; weeks after I paid the
Irishman the "bit" and never jrot it back froni
my employers, Mr 1., I am sure, would hav
remunerated me. but he never before heard this
story, so' if lie is inclined he can compromise; thi
debt by sending me a bushel of his rare ripe
peeches ncxt fall.T Hut to the moral. A men-
cnaut naa witnesseu my struggles ana now
zealously I labored, to deliver that load of hard-
lf .:'si- ..' '
ware ; ne even watcnetl me to the house and saw
me count each piece bs I landed it iu the door-

cheerfulness under difficulty, in the hhane of a

into all 1 own, ior that reward ofj perseverance

.P Widow's Victiin. .
, There appeared. 6n a certain day in 'r eacb of
iw aaiiy papery an aavertisemenc 6etung ion a
that a young widow lady ofj refinement, educa
tion bcautv and wealth, intends to rnake the
fcdor of the Continent, and wishes to engage as
companion and protector a' young gentleman of
cultivation and refinement, Iwho will receive a
liberal salary and have alt hit expenses paid.
1 hat bnnsrs a crowd of toe prettiest young men
in town to the office of the."Etnployment Bureau
man: who acts as her aent. 'I 3 Each" takes ; him
aside and says, quite confidentially, u$lyX dear
fellow, if yoo get this eopigement for me, I give
yoo,--f twenty -five or fifty dollars, as the case
may be.) Then the agent says, "31 y dear sir, 1
dou't think I ought to do it, but still I like your
looks and think the lady will yes, I am sure
she will, ind I have influence with her; ; so just
take a note from-me, see her and come back.
Each understands that "come back."' It means
'come down' after the engagemeut is obtained.
Each and all see her iu turn, in a mngnificent
brown stone mansion,!; and they ' find her! very
pretty, very smart; and when she seems to take
a great fancy tojeach one io his order, land en
gages him as hei companion at a splendid salary
each pronounced her an exceedingly charming
wouian, and himself one ofi the luckiest men
alive. She engages them all and they all return
and pay jjtlie agent his! handsome fee. The next
day the office isjclosed, the rent Was about doe,
and this was thegra'nd cup of the agent's art to
tose in a oiaze 6i nrotesiouai glory, "oriumsr
even the landlorid and the ,man .from . phjjn-he
hired his furnittre. As fbrj jtlie beautiful young
widow, the places which knew her knowj her no
more. She only engaged board for a week in
the brown stone; mansiou. and. left before the
week was upJ Chicago Trilune.
! Signature : of the Cross, t
. The mark whnch persons who are unable to
write are required to make instead of their sig
nature, is iu thej form of a cross; and: this prac
tice having formerly been followed by kings and
nobles, is constantly referred to as an instance
of the deplorable ignorance of ancient! times.
This signature J is not, however, iuvariably a
proof of such ignorance.: Anciently, the use of
this mark was not confined to illiterate persons;
and it is still always used by Roman Catholic
bishops as part lif their signatures. Amyng the
Saxons, the liiark of the cress, as an attestation
of the good faith of the person signing, was re
quired to be attached to the si nature of those
who could Dot write. I In those times, if a man
could write, or 'even read, his
considered proof presumptive
7 a uv v jv.JpV ; , v uo
that ho was in!
holy orders. Tne word : elerirus. or clerk, was
synonymous with penman; and the laity, or peo
ple wno were n4t clerks, did not feel any urgent
necessity for the use of letters. : , i l" i
The ancient use of the cross wan, therefore,
universal, alike fey those who could " and couW
uot write; it was, indeed, the symbol of an oath
from its holy associations", and generally the mark.
On this account, Mr Charles Knight, in his
totes to the j'icroriaj Shakespeare," explains
the expression of '-(lod save the mark,' as a
form of ejaculation approaching to the character
of an oath. Th5s ; .phrase oecjurs three or more
times in the plays of Shakespeare; but hitherto
it had been left by the! commentators in its origi
nal obscurity, j ;j j;

j The Rothschilds j and (American Bonds.
! It is stated that the Rothschilds, after waiting
some years during the war and standing aloof
from United States securities, finally took hold
of American btnds, and to-d:iy they j'.re "the re
puted owners of iabout 75,000.000. It is stated
that the Rothschilds, in view' of. thy unsettled
state of affairs in Europe during the past few
years, have. turned much ot thyir capital into
cash, and now hold about $-200,000,000 iu gold
and silver. This places them in a strong position
to take new loans, it would pjeiu that they have
been preparing for the American government.
When Cortez reached Mexico, one of his isol-
diers found in hia haversactir grain a f ichfat.
lie planted these upon the land allotted him by
the conqueror, and having carefully saved their
produce, he planted moieland the next year.' It
is a historical fact that from these four grains has
been derived all the wheat since raised in Mexico.
It is in the moral world as m the phyical the
greatest results sometimes flow from the smallest

his heart.. Ihej proud and 'covetous are nevernt

their souls in the plenitude of peace. ' j:
