' I must hare these done b7 3 o'olook or I cannot got 107 pe7 this week, and I can hardly afford to wait a week for that," said a pale, wan woasan in the top room of one of the largest tenement booses in the dt7, and it might be said, too, one of the poorest ones. While resolring mentally the moat pertinent questions to ask, the re porter glanced about the room which serred aa a home to this woman, who eridently was superior to suoh surround ings. It was about ten feet square and had one window opening on a court, and though in the top of the house the light wss scarcely sufficient to permit her to ace to sew on the buttons she wss placing with a mechanical swiftness on a pile of shirts at her feet A cot bed stood in one corner, which looked clean, bat scanty aa to clothes and deroid of a pillow. Two chairs, a board nailed against the wall for a shelf, s small old table and a tiny, broken store com pleted the furniture. There wits no car pet and the cold wind penetrated the room. "Oh, I am finishing these shirts. A don't make them entirely. There are many women who take shirts this way to finish, perhaps U) all somewhere near two hundred. For these I get soren cents a doaen; for some I receive nine and for others 10 cents a dozen. On these I pnt four stays each, or gussets as some coll them, three buttons amt one ticket. On the nine-oeut ones I put the same number of stays and five buttons and a ticket; on the 10 cent ones I innst sow eight buttons, and sew them stronger, and the same number of stays and ticket. ” "80 for seven cents yon sew in forty- sight stays, thirty-six buttons ami twelve cards; lor nine cents you put forty-eight stays, sixty buttons and twelve cards, and for 10 cents you ses fortj^eight stnys, ninety-six buttons amt twelve cards. Is »bat all you do ?’’ •!Oh, no; sometimes [ make women’s eafieo sacqnc*, for which I get GO cents a dozen. Those I make on a machine. I have one, which I hire out for 25 cents a week when I have no machine work. I prefer machine work, for somehow it does not seem as if 1 were working so bard then, and, besides, it isn't so in jurious to my eyes, which are growing quite feeble. I shall have to get glasses, Hid it will take me some time to.sparw enough money to get a pair. "About the aaoqnes ? Each garment 1 have to out and make. I receive an amount of calico knd must cut a certain number of aacquee out of it. It takes dose calculation and there arc very few ■crape left. There arc nine seams in a aaoqne and a hem all round, besides the collar and sleeves. Eight buttons and button-holes go on each. For these, as I said, I receive five cents apiece, or GO cents a dozen. "Oh, yes, indeed, there are branches (■(•female labor quite as extravagantly remunerative. For instance, the woman who rooms with me gets 4fi cents a dosac for men's drawers. She sews three seams in each pair, puts on a waistband double stitched, a hem at the bottom and sew* on tapes, puts in eye- Wte at the band and ties a tape in or pula 00 a buckle and straps, works two buttoW-hotas and sews on two buttons. They And the material and thread. Hhe could hardly afford that, yon sec. Bhe can make about three dozeu in two days by working nights. Men, when their buttons fall off, would perhaps not feel . ao impatient if they knew that one stitch more on each would ooet the worker a loaf of bread per week. "One of the women on this floor works at finishing men’s trousers. She twelve cents a pair. To finish she puts in buckram, boms them, ■fells a waistband on each pair and fin iahea off four pockets and sews twelve buttons. This most be done by hand, e**! an experienced person can finish from twelve to sixteen pairs a week. "Another one makes linen dusters, for which she gels eight cents a piece. The smartest worker with a machine cannot finish more than three a day. Her room-mate gets 30 cents a dozen for making woolen overshirts with collars, bands and bosoms. With all her strength and industry she cannot finish more than one doaen per day. A widow who tyrea bed-sprfbe from them earns 30 to 36 cents a day making button-holes. Button-hole machines are very high and it will be long before machine-made button-holes will supersede the work of hands. You think these are starvation prices, but worse than this is the price paid for making women’s cloaks. “I know a woman who makes them— and nicely, too—who only gets $2.60 for righteen, finished and ready for sale. You would like to know how we all live an suoh sums. It is a problem, bat we do, after a fashion, aa you see. I have who rooms with me, and to- ' wo pay $6 a month for this room.

Seriously, though, I buy a quarter of a pound of tea, a half-pound of sugar, one pound oatmeal, one pint of beana, two ten-oent loaves of bread, one ‘soupboue and perhaps it costs a couple of cents a week for salt, pepper and lierlw for my soap.

You will find anutog tluae who do what is called ‘slop work* more decayed gentlewomen than those who have lieen born to poverty, for those who were born of poor parents are generally pat to learn trades, which, though none too well paid, still afford a better living. Those who wore never obliged to learn a trade in youth, when reverses came are only able to do suoh. work as this. Yon may be sure that I tried to do hotter, yet yon see me here, glad when I have health and work. One of the greatest trials of this kind of a life is that one is almost Obliged to live in dirt, for the woman who works for her very bread must not leave that work for a minute. Sunday I generally employ cleaning up my room, mending my clothes and those of a poor woman living two flights down, who washes mine in exchange. 1 don’t go to church. The washerwoman I mention earns a dollar and a half a day four days in the week, In-sides which she gets a good many little presents from the people where she works and her meals.

Y. Two children died at intervals of severftl months, and a third was taken sick. The Board of Health appointed a committee to investigate, which ex amined the house and its snrroaxdings and obtained a statement from the ah tending physician. They have recently mode their report, finding that there were no bad conditions existing in or about the house sufficient to explkin the appearanow«Uytie disease, and they con clude that it came from a oat which was fondled by the child which first fell ill This oat was found at the time to have a swollen throat and to be suffering from a discharge from month and nostrils. It died a few days afterward. Three dqya after the death of the oat the child fell aick with malignant diphtheria and died in abont a week. During its illness it played with a doll, which was after ward given to a younger child, aa H waa supposed to hare been properly fumi gated with anlphnr fumea. Tide child, shortly after being allowed to play with the doll, also fell ill of diphtheria, and died. The third child atoo played with the doD and fell ill, but recovered.

The Boy and His Not her. A young fellow writes as follows "What do you think of a young lady while in the company of a dude masher, remarking of an old schoolmate of hers, 'that he is s good boy, bnt tied to his old mother’s apron strings, and is of no good on earth.’ Will not the boy come out ahead if he supports and cares for tho mother 7" Come ont ahead ? Well, of course he will. A girl who would make snph s remark is not worthy to blacken the shoes of s boy who is kind to bis old mother. Booh a girl luto got no more heart in her than a turnip. It is each girls ss this one that we hear of playing the piano while the mother to mending her stockings, or washing her white elothes. It is snob a girl that tells her mother to mind her own bnsi- nees, when the old lady advises her noi to stay out more than two or three hours after midnight with a dude. The meanest men in the world ore those who have allowed themselves to drift away from their mothers and forget all about them. The best and bravest men in the world are those who have never been so proud os when doing something pleasant for the kind old mother. The most heartless thing in the world is for a per son to make snch a remark as that quoted above about a young man who is proud of bis mother, and knres her so that a tear in her 4ye is like a drop of melted lead on his heart. No boy need ever be ashamed to be called his moth er’s boy, and no person with a soul to save will'ever make trifling remarks on o sacred a matter as the love of s son for a good mother.—jP»cV» Sun.

In this wreck, which occurred on March 31, 1873, 660 lives were lost out of a total of 078. The Atlantic sailed from Liverpool on the 20th of March- During the first part Of the passage favorable weather and fair winds were ex perienced. On the 24th, 25th and 26th the ship fell in with heavy southwest and westerly gales, which blew so vio lently that only abont one hundred miles a day were mode. On the 31st of Mai ch the engineer reporter! to the coptain that his stock of cool had diminished to abont one hundred and twenty-seven tons. The Atlautio was then four hundred miles to the eastward of Sandy Hook, with the wind southwest, a high and a Tailing barometer. The ship waa steaa&g at the rate of eight knots an hour. The captain con sidered the risk too gnat to push on, as he feared he might be, hi the event of a gale, shut out from any port of supply. Under the cireamstakom. he decided to make for Halifax. At ene p. m. be cal culated that Samhro Jsland was distant 170 miles. At midnight the ship was, according to the estimate of the cap tain, forty-eight miles Ronth of Sambro. The captain then went below, leaving orders that he should be called at three o’clock, when he intended to pnt the ship’s head to the southward and avail daylight. The second and fourth mates were in charge. At about three o’clock the man on the lookout reported breakers ahead, bnt be fore the engines could be stopped the vessel hod struck heavily on the rocks. She began to labor heavily, and immense breaker* swept the djtck*. Before tho boats could tie cleared the ahip heeled over to port, rendering the starboard boats useless. Then ensued a scene of heartrending horto^. The decks were thronged by the helpless passengers, who songht in vain for succor. Men, women and children., clung together in groups in the pitchy darkness, which was illuminated every now and then by the glare of a rocket sent up for assist ance. Boon the helpless beings on the deck began to be swept off by the waves, the storm increasing in intensity. About two hundred persons were crushed to death by the foreboom, which broke loose from ito lashings and dashed to pieces all who had gathered on the houae on desk. Every snoceed- ing wave washed off ito victims. The officers of the ship tried to get the pns- agngers into the rigging and outride of the rails forward, where there #aa the least danger, the ship being highest there and less exposed to the waves. The women behaved heroically. No cry was heard from tbfm as they perished. Not s wosssn oryEild wss saved from the wreck.

An Apprentice Disciplined. There was a very unusual proceeding in the Court of- Quarter Sessions, in Philadelphia, before Judge Arnold. Joseph Girhardt, an apprentice to Wil liam Clark, a morocco manufacturer, was arraigned on a charge of neglecting his duties. Mr. Clark testified that the boy had by his negleet permitted $30 worth of skins to become spoiled. The jndge said he was satisfied from the testimony that the boy had been negli gent. "It is a pity;” he oeid, "that the did system of apprenticeship has gone nearly, oat of ass. Because of that fact we are depending for oar skilled labor' upon foreign countries.
