She looked very demure, Hitting upon an in verted basket, and occasionally glancing sideways at visitors. Every worker in this room, we are told, la Irish; but this nursling, with her promineut forehead, delicate features, blue eyes, aud goldeu hair, looks more like a stray fairy who has lost her way and fhlleu into the foulest and darkest of prisons. The entire building steams with the fumes of tobacco, and some of the roams are positively unbearable to those not accustomed to the odor. The rooms where the women and children work are the least objection able; but they are dreadful places for young children to grpw up in. Ten thousand children, it is said, are working iu tobacco, in New York ami Brooklyn, for ten hours a day, six days of the week, and frilly five thousand of them are believed to be under fifteen years of age. Children in many oases supply the places of more mature hands, and thus offer the employer an opportunity for gain not to be resisted as long as other manufacturers with whom he most compete employ this cheap labor, r Were stringent laws passed, aim ilar to those existing in some of the New England States, regulating the employment of children under a cer tain age, many of the employers would accept the change, and would operate with others in arranging for a voluntary system of half time schools; while uot a few declare that such a system “wouldn’t work,” they “couldn’t be bothered with it.” In a subterranean apartment a few dozen boys are at work chopping the weed in its rough form, preparing U for the proeess of softening in brine for the “ntemroera.” > A little light comes in from somewhere, enough for as to distinguish the utter drear inessof the scene.

A priest taking for his meditattoos the anthems which are sung in Ad vent and before Christmas, entitles them, “The £weet Marrow snd Tasty Sauce of the Savoury Bones of the Saints in Advent.” A canon of Klee, writes, “The Royal Post to Psradise, very useful to those who wish to go there: a Collection of tto Works of Pious Doctors who have curiously treated the Subject.” In it there Is s chapter on the post rstahtiahed by Satan to go to Hell, and another to Purgatory, which is the suburb of neaveu, and the outer court of Par ad tar. An ascetic gives os, “The Scraper of Vanity ; a Spiritual Pi] low necessary to extirpate Vice and to plant Virtue”—a strange use for a pillow, certainly.
