The Struggle - with PoTerty Some
Glimpses of Inner Life in Raleigh.
The other day a gcutieui e
city who is much interested in and has
done much for the Oxford Orphan Asy
lum, visited a house on one of tho prin
cipal streets tof the city where he learned
there was an orphan child in need of
assistance. jHis object was to see the
guardians yf the child and make ar
rangements 1 for taking it to the asylum.
Arriving at I the house he vas invited in,
and fousd the child and three women) one
of whom was decrepid with age ' and
another of whom was an .in valid and de
formed . Tlie house was a double tene
ment building, in one end of. which lived
the old woman and a daughter,' and in
tho other enitl the third woman and the
cbild. Butlthe pinching oi want naa
drawn them closely together, and.th.ey
made common cause against the wolf at
the door, lumpiug-their scant earnings
and all living together. The whole sur
roundings betokened the utmost want,
and the interest of our friend being ex
cited, he inquired minutely into the
manner of f their lite and repeats. 10 a
2cics reporter the facts which he gathered
rom the women :
Thev make their living., such a living
as it is, by 1 sewing, and the story which
hey tell would hardly be belie vea nut
or the coiroborativc evidence which
their faces! the surroundings ot i tne
dwelling anid other circumstances pre
sent. Their work is done for merchants
iu the city who furnish the cloth, , pay(?)
hem for making it up, ami then sen
the goods. , Day by day they labor cease-
esslv. making up 6hirtB for lice cents
apieccy pautsfor .eight cents a pair, andt
children's boaics or-waisis wr trte ww
apiece. Thiy were workiag at the time
of this visit upon a large lot or suiru,
for makiug?.which they are to recede
tho veriest pittance. TUcy naa just
livcrcd a number of pairs oi pants, ior
which they were paid eight cents apiece.
No difference is made in the price ou ac
count of the quality of goods to be
made iuto pants. .Not long ago one oi
the women! received . from the man for
whom she was working, a lot of pants
cloth so heavy that she protested to him
that 6UO could not maka the pants ior
eight cents a pair. He responded that
she could then let it alone. But she knew
that shn could not. and so she took, the
cloth aloug HUi her. It was so thick and
heavy that a day and a luIFs work; was
required to complete tncp nrst pair.

Poiuting 'to au armful cf wood iu a cor
ner of the room, ouo of the women explain
ed to the visitor bow tncy economizea in
that article.! A stick which would extend
across the fire-place, was takcu and cut
up very iiuc, in order to make the fire
very hot while it lasted. In this way
tlieis meals j were cooked, and their tea
made. Onf,c a week they have meat, and
once a week soup, which is made form a
