In the meantime the men have issued an appeal to tlio public in which they say: For years past, as the world is well aware, the condition of the journeyman baker has been a disgrace to his employer, a shame- to humanity, and a scandal to civilization. Education, science, and philanthropy have achieved jpueh for all other classes, but in his case they have done little or nothing. He is still the outcast of the industrial system, tha Pariah of the social circle, the only artisan who is deprived of his rest, denied his Sabbath, and doomed to toll in confined dungeons, the foetid atmosphere of which is as fatal to life as the poisonous breath of the black hole of Calcutta. Government inspectors have* denounced the evils surrounding him as most baneful and demoralizing; and medical men have affirmed that he is a prey to tho most debilitating influences, and his term of life the briefest of all classes— in p. sentence, that he is murdered bylong hours and excessiva toil. For hitn 'there is no respite. Hi-* existence is that of a dog. He scarcely knows what it is to enjoy a night's repc.se. His sleep is a "pitch" in the heated bakehouse, his bed the board upon which the bread was made, and when he rises from his hard couch, his sweat and tears literally minple with the ingredients of which tlio staff of life is manufactured, and which the public are compelled to eat. The Sabbath comes, but comes no Sabbath day to him, and thus, 3 ear after year, he drags out a miserable, monotonotfs existence, laboring sixteen, eighteen and twenty hours a day, at a wage which a sweep or scavenger would- refuse, until his health fails, and a premature death terminates his sufferings. Will any Christian man say that the operative baker ought to. be satisfied with such an iniquitous system? When all 'other trades are obtaining increased pay and reduced hours, is he alone to be condemned to sleepless nights, excessive toil, low wages, disease, and death? Certainly not. notices SAYINGS BANK ill! An' listens dreftle wine. My ! but I think he's awful to course slowlv down her cheeks, without twelve distinct cases where American Of Pittston.

And people think their father might support us; but how can I help it that he spends all his earnings for drink ? And rich as Mrs. Percy is, she did not pay me my wages to-night, and now I cannot get the varn for my baby's stockings, and her little limbs must remaia cold awhile longer ; and I must do without the flour, too, that I was going to make into bread,and the potatoes are almost gone.'' Here Phoebe's emotions overcame her, and she ceased speaking. After a while she continued : "Sirs. Percy also blamed me for being so slow ; she did not know I was up half the night, and my head has ached ready to split all day. Oh, dear! oh, dear! oh, dear! if it were not for my babes I should yearn for the quiet ot the grave." And with a long, quivering sigh, such as one might hear at the rending of soul and body, Phcebe was silent. Dauglitere of luxury, did it ever occur to you that we are all children of one common Parent? Oh! look, hereafter, with pity on those faces when the records of their suffering arc deeply graven and remembered. "Be ye gills have given up a happy homo in exchange for a most miserable existence. Their fortunes have been squandered in most cases ; some of the ladies hava been deserted ; others have obtained a divorce ; but all of tbem are heart-broken. The cause of all that wretchedness is to be traced to the desire of gratifying a foejing—a vanity ; to flourish as Madame la Marquise or to imagine herself a princess. The twelve or more eases of which I possess positive knowledge of facts are not all. Not. that every case relates to the marriage of an adventurer ; but regard these marriages even in the most favorable light, and it is safe to assume that sudor no circumstances will an aristocrat take an American woman to his bosom as his wife. It is a leap into the dark. Certainly there is no reason why a girl should not marry the man she likes ; but it is wise to remember that it is the instinct of fallen men to hate equality. The voung lady maybe equal with him who she loves, but then arises the question whether the man's home or friends will suit her. If the latter look unkindly on her what unutterable misery must follow ? The American girl discovers too late that sho has been allured }-\ f. gaines.

A swarm of wasps. These winged warriors,disturbed in their peaceful occupancy of a barley-field, charged fiercely upon the invading foe. The Commander-in-Chief was sorely wounded in seven places. A flank mdve ment was frustrated by the active assailants, and the rout of the division seemed imminent, when a forlorn hope succeeded, under cover of a heavy bombardment of turf, in shutting up the enemy in their fastness. In palliation of this undignified and altogether laughable discomfiture \f Lord Kerr's veterans? it may be said tliat a swarm of wasps is a foe not to be dispised. They will readily sting a man to death. Only a few days since a eliild was so killed, almost instantly, at a place called Clievenges, in France ; and even soldiers, only playing at war, may be excused for shunning so unpleasant an insect. But does not the incident suggest its own moral ? Why should not this fierceness be utilized in the service of patriotism ? A regiment or two of wasps trained to act as skirmishers would give a most unwell come reception to the future invader. ST A P L E DRV GOODS THE BEST OF MALT AND HOPS.

He feels thit he is in a false position ; that instead of ranking with the respectable portion of society he ought to take his position with the meanest classes, for he is walking about under false colors in other people's* clothes, feeding surreptitiously from other people's tables, living in houses, lodging, and using furniture that do not belong to him, and that if he were to act like an honest man, and pay for what ho has, must dress less, ea-t plainer food, and dwell in back streets : ho would then be a far more respectable man than the scamp who willfully incurs debts which at the time he knows he cannot pay. Many an honest man is brought into untold embarrassments by an extravagant and thoughtless family, and by the pernicious system of long credit giving by retail merchants. Now this system of buying on credit is simply ruinous, and really'creates habits of extravagance ; it seems so easy to look forward to meeting a payment jjrhieh is six months' distant ! Keep out of debt, my friend.

Fall Bonnets.—The beauty of fall bonnets consists in their rich fabrics, exquisitely combined colors, their tinted feathers, bronzed leaves, and line laces. Of their heterogenous shapes there is little to be said; they are simply caiicatures, and leading milliners say they must be greatly modified to make them popular. The most conspicuous change is in the way the bonnet is to be worn. The head-covering whether bonnet or hat, is to be placed far back on the chignon, leaving the forehead and frizzled front hair quite uncovered—a fashion that milliners say is generally unbecoming. High reverse coronets are on almost all bonnets, and capes are scarcely seen at all. Long ends and loops of ribbon and lace, three or four of each,hang from the back of the bonnet low down on the shoulders. A folded band encircles the crown, and the left side is the base from which spring trimmings that pass directly across the crown. These trimmings are usually two long, wide loops laid upward on the crown, a sharp pointed wing (blue-green wings are most used), and two ostrich tips that curl over the top to the right side, and give addi tional height to the crown. A jet ornament is on the right side, and sometimes a jet bandeau is in front. .Bonnets und round hats are trimmed similarly; their only difference exists in the strings, and these are often omitted from the new sailor bonnet.

Houses.—Some curious statistics as to the production of liorses in Russia are given by tlie Military Statistical Magatine of St. Petersburg, The total number of horses iu the empire, says the writer, is twenty millions, which is equivalent to twenty-live per cent of the population, while in Austria tlM number of horses is nine per cent only, and in North Germany eighteen per cent. To estimate the wealth in horses of a country from a military point of view, however, it is necessary to make the superficial area, and not the number of inhabitants, the basis of the a lculation. On this principle it is -found that' Russia has 160 horses per square mile, Austria 313 and Germany (591), so that Russia is really far from being so well provided with the means of transport as either Austria or Germany. The production of horses in Russia, too, is decreasing ; it has within the last twelve years diminished by eight per cent. The geographical distribution of tlie Russian horses, adds the writer, is very unfavorable for military pur-, poses ; they are most numerous ii districts an oil as Siberia, which are the least likely to be the theatre of a campaign; in Siberia the number of horses is equal to that of the people.

The imperial «iet held its sessions there from 1663 to 1806, and the saloons of the diet have not been altered, and still contain the benches, arm-chairs, and tables used by the embassadors. The dismal dungeons in which prisoners were tortured are shown for a fee ; aud on going into them I noticed the bench of the judge, protected by an iron grut-1 iug lest he might be killed—as he deserved to be—by i,he miserable wretches in whose suffering he delighted. There are the rack, the wheel, the thumbscrew, the spiked helmet, the burning pincers, the fiery cowl, the straining cord, the bone-crusher, the fiery fumoee and all the implements of torment which we blush to think were freely used by • our ancestors a little more than a century ago.

The next day, in calling, he found, to his astonishment, the patient was up and very much better. On enquiry, the convalescent told the doctor that, being consumed with a fiery thirst, he had drunk a pailful of the juice of pickled cabbage. "Allah is great," said the doctor, and down went the memoiandum on his tablets. Soon after he was called to attend another typus fever patient, a dealer in embroidered handkerchiefs. Of course, he instantly prescribed a pailful of pickled cabbage juice. The man, very properly, died in a couple of hours. Whereupon the doctor made this entry upon bis tablets : "Although in cases of typhus fever pickled cabbage juice is an efficient remedy, it must, in uo case, be used unless the patient is an upholsterer." It was evident to the Eastern sage thai his second patient died because it was his misfortune to deal in handkerchiefs instead of window curtains and sofa coverings. WILLIAMS & HUNTER.

Phoebe, whose necessities allowed her no choice, agreed to her proposal, and the lady, who had been fumbling in her purse, remarked : "I have no change, nothing less than this three dollar bill. Suppose I pay you by the month hereafter ; it will save me a great deal of trouble, and I will try to give you your two dollars a month regularly." Phoebe's pale clieek waxed still more ghastly as Mrs. Percy Fpoke, but it was not within that lady's province to notice the color of a washerwoman's face. She did, however, observe the lingering, weary steps, as she proceeded through the yard, and conscience whispered some reproaches which were so unpleasant and unwelcome, that she endeavored to dispel them by turning to the luxurious supper which was spread before her. And here 1 would pause to observe, that whatever method may be adopted to reconciliate the conscience to withholding money so justly due, so hardly earned, she disolwyed the positive injunction of that God who has not left the time of payment optional with ourselves, but who has said. "The wages of him that is hired, shall not abide with thee all night until the morning." Lev., 19 chap., 13 verse. "The husband of Phcebe was a day laborer ; when not intoxicated he was kind ; but this was of rare occurrence, for most of his earn ings went for ardent spirits, and the labor •f the poor wife and mother was the main support of herself and four children—the eldest nine years, the youngest only eighteen months old. As she neared the wretched hovel she had left early in the morning, she saw the faces of her four little ones pressed close against the window. tiik: CLOTHING EMPORIUM !

Wholesale Dealer iu (Jhiyese Sheet.—On the main-deck of a China steamer arrived in New \ork, about amid-ships, was an iron cage containing specimens of Chinese sheep, said to be much finer than any raised in this country. They are peculiar from tl.e size and form of the tail, and excite much curiosity. They are about the size of an ordinary American sheep. The body is white, the "face below the eyes being usually black. The tail is about a foot and a half long, and is in the shape of a fan, flat, and about nine inches wide at the extromitv. Much curiosity was also excited by forno Pekiu dozs that were lazily rolling on the deck. They are of a pure black c Dlor, and the hair is long and silky. The nose is long and narrow, ending in a peak, and the whole head re:embles very much that of a wolt. Another cage contained five Chinese pigs, youns and very small. The color is speckled, white and black, and the hair, which is bristly, covers the white spots only, the black being perfectiy smooth. These specimens have been sent to a gentleman •n New York, who, it is understood, contemplates the experiment of acclimatizing and raising the species. brance of heat is not heat. Certain statistics, which .purport to come from tho United States Armory at Sprinqfield, indicate that the summer of 1872 was not so very remarkable for heat. The average temperature for the four months of May, June, July, and August, in 1808, was 6S degrees; for 1869, 65 degrees; 1870, 70 degrees: 1871, 66 degrees; 1872, 69 degrees, 'ilie average for Juno this year was 69 1-3 degrees, while in 1870 it was 72 degrees. The average for July was 74} degrees, while in 1870 it was 75 degrees, and in 1868 77 degrees. The August average this year, up to the 28fch, wiis 75 degrees ; in 1870 it was 74 degrees, and the other years two or thrae degrees lass. Illuminating and Lubricating OILS. AND CHILDREN'S FURS.

A lady writes Hearth and Home that for years she has made her partially-worn sheets into, simple window-curtains. From the center of the sheet she tears the worn portion; this leaves two strips, each of two and one half yards in length, and from three fourths of a yard to a yard in width. She then sews the two selvedge edges together, and turns the raw edges back to form a seam. All around the curtain she now stiches at about an inch from the edge, narrow strips of some pretty and washable cambric or calico for a trimming, putting an extra row of stitching through that on the upper end, to make a place for a tape to be run in.

He has been a fount of much joy to tbe itemizers of the press. It gives the Jotlowing brief sketch of his many exploits: Hp started out two years ago by shooting himself. Two months afterward he choked himself with a fish boue. A few days alter he built a lire in the barn, which resulted in the destruction of half a dozen bosses. He then swallowed a top, got run over by an ice-wagon, fell out of a second-story window, was taken senseless from tha river, was lost for three days, kuockcd over a kerosene lamp into bis mothers lap, ran a knile-blade into his little sister's eye, and scared a maiden aunt into fits.,' Any paper should mourn the loss of such an interesting youth, and the reporters ought ;o wear crape for six months after hid de- J parture.

And lest some may suppose that we are drawing largely upon our imagination, we will mention, in this place, that we know of a child left under such circumstances, and half-perishing with cold, who was nearly burned to death by some hops (for there was no fuel to be found) which it scraped together in its ragged apron, and set on fire with a coal found in the ashes. Phoebe did not long indulge in grief, however, she forgot her weary limbs, and, bustling about, goon made up a fire, and boiled some potatoes, which constituted their supper—after which she nursed the children, two at a tim,e for a while, and then put them tenderly to bed.
