Tis but a wave On lifes dark rolling stream, Which is so quickly gone that we Account it but a dream. 'Tis but a single earnest throb Of Time's old iron heart, Which tireless now and strong as when It first with life did start. What is a year? 'Tis but a turn Of Time's old brazen wheel, Or but a page upon the book Which death must shortly seal. 'Tis but a step upon the road Which we must travel o'er, A few more steps and we shall walk Life's weary road no more. What is a year? 'Tis but a breath From Time's old nostrils blown, As rushing onward o'er the earth, We hear his weary moan. 'Tis like the buble on the wave, Or dew upon the lawn, As transient as the mists of morn Beneath the summer sun. What is a year ? 'Tis but a type Of life's'soft changing scene ; Youth's happy morn comes gaily on With hills and valleys green. Next, Summer's prime succeeds the Spring, Then Autumn with a tear Then comes old Winter—death, and all Must find their level here. t # c r ll a u c o ti 0. From the Scioto (Ohid) Gszette. ASERICA.Y HAYI FACTURES. Manufacture of Shawls—the Bay State Mills—Mag nitude —Consumption of Wool—Operatives— i Their Character—American Invention—Triumph of Genius—Power of Mind—Effect upon the Economy of Life. LAWRENCE, Mass., Aug. 25th, 1851. Few women, I imagine, have ever re flected how large a space in human indus try, and how vast an influence upon soci ety, and even upon the prosperity of States, has been caused by the fabrication of materials for their dresses ! So it is ; and whole communities depend upon the articles they wear, and the prevailing fash ions of (he day. Mr. Adam Smith made one of his most interesting chapters in the 44 Wealth of Nations," upon the opera tions of Pin Manufacture. I shall take the liberty, at an humble distance of illus trating the process required to produce one or two other articles of ladies' dress. I shall commence with the manufacture of shawls, (woolen) —the manufacture of which involves l a magnitude of interests, which seems at first incomprehensible. Even in Ohio we are affected by it to no inconsiderable degree. Our farmers raise a large portion of the wool which goes into the Bay State Shawls, and the fabrication of shawls, muslins, delancs, §-c., in which the wool is the principal article, is the cause of the profits which Ohio has re cently derived from the export of wool. I have investigated this subject, in refer ence both to its intrinsic interest, and to its bearings upon the agricultural interests of Ohio. Accompanied by intelligent and cour teous guides, I proceeded to Lawrence, the new town, whose wonders have been proclaimed by the newspapers. Founded only five years since, in the same manner as Lowell, by the " Essex Company," it has now probably ten thousand inhabitants. As an example of order, neatness, regular ity, and industry, it is unsurpassed. Com pared with anything we read of in Eng lish factory towns, it is as much superior as aie the institutions of our government to those of the old world. It is the man ufacture of shawls in the Hay State Mills, which constitutes, however, the main in terest of the town to me. I took down from the books of the Company, and they may, therefore, be strictly relied upon, some statistics, which will serve to give a realizing idea of the greatness, and the so cial effect of these works; although you cannot without seeing, realize the beauti ful order and system which prevails there. 1. IJIMKNSIONS. —The ground occupied by the Bay State Mills," is 1,000 feet in length and 100 in breadth ; thus occu pying the space of two squares and a hall in Cincinnati. The buildings surround the whole ; but there is an interior yard for air and convenience. Some of the buildings are nine stories in height, but generally six. The flooring occupies more than two millions of square feet. The " Hoarding Houses" are not includ ed in the above. They are ranges of three slury brick buildings, numbering thirty tvvu ; anil having all the conveniences ne cessary to comfortable living. 1 hey oc cupy nearly one-half as much space as the mills, 2. TUG OPERATIVES. — Men employed 1,100 W omen do. 1,150 Number of operatives 2,250 Nothing like such an army ol opera- imssmm ,&sj® tives can be found in any other establish ment of our country. 1 shall prove that no other class of laboring people arc bet ter oil", if as well. 3. WAGES. —The wages of a girl aver ages $4 per week, ller board is 51,25 per week, so that site receives clear 52,75. Of this she can lay up $2 ; and she does in almost all instances. To what purpose this is put I shall explain hereafter. 4. TIME. —The time of working hours in the mills is lixed by regulations, at twelve hours per day. This is the only point in the conduct of the mills to which I should object. But, it must be observed, that these people are not dependents. They come and go at their will, and 1 may here say that the average time, in which the girls remain at the mills, does not exceed two and a half years, if as much. There, this kind of life is brief to all the operatives except a few, (mostly foreigners,) who have made a profession of the more artistical part of the work. 5. WOOL CONSUMED. —In the week end ing the 23d of August, the consumption of wool was 12,000 pounds per day, or, at the rate of three millions eight hundred and ninety-three thousand four hundred pounds per annum ! If this had all been Ohio wool, it would have been one-half the entire surplus wool of the State. But these companies actually consume a great deal of foreign wool, some of it is brought from Morocco and some from South Amer ica. This is the coarse and long staple. But how unnatural for a country like this to import wool ! 6. PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED. —There are four kinds of articles in these mills. There are Shawls, Cassimeres, Sattinets, and Felt Cloths for overcoats. The prin cipal products are— Shawls, 1,000 per day ; Sattinets, 1,000 yards per day ; Besides Felt Cloths, and at one time, Rugs were made here. These great facts will give you an idea of the magnitude of these works, and of their inevitable effect upon the wealth and industry of the peo ple. But there are other things than these mechanical results of yet greater import ance to the welfare of society. Go with me while I estimate the social effects in economy, in comfort and in the develope ment of mind. These Bay State Shawls are now sold at from to $8 each, ac cording to size. Mr. John I). Jones, our fellow-citizen, tells ine that ten years since they were sold at sls each. As these shawls are really a very useful article to women, (who too commonly dress thin,) we can see how great a saving is made in a necessary article by the reduction of price one-half. How much greater saving it is when it is front our own wool, and bv our own women they are made ? Let us next see how far the introduction of this species of industry has affected the condition and comfort of the laboring classes. If it has depreciated that condi tion ; if it has lowered the standard of morals ; if, in one word, it has made such a population as is represented in some of the exaggerated pictures of the English Manufacturing society, then it has done an e\il for which no economical advantages can compensate. Has it? .No. The very reverse is true. There is here no manu facturing population, as generally under stood, dependent on their employers ; none either degraded in intellect or debased in morals. \Y hat is their condition here ? Here are twelve hundred females, uine tcnths of whom are between the ages of sixteen and thirty. Of this great number there is scarcely one who cannot read. There are workmen who cannot write their names ; but they were born in other lands, and have been nurtured under less genial laws. Such is tlicir intellectual condition. \\ hat is their morals ? These women board in houses where all the sub stantial elements ol civilization are found, and all the restraints of a moral society exert their influence, and where tempta tions are far less than in ordinary society. What is the temptation of one of these in dependent operatives compared with that of the poor work-women of our cities ? The boarding-houses are under the police regulations of the company, and are al most all kept by widows, reputable and honest, selected by the officers, who get their rent very low, and furnish whole some food for their boarders. That great safeguard, a pure public sentiment, exerts the same salutary influences here over in dividuals that it does in all well regulated society. The community guards with jealous care the reputation of its members. But, with what object have these thou sands of females entered on their vocation? I have said the average time spent here, by them, is about two and a half \ ears. This proves that this is not the business of their lives, nor entered upon with any such object, except, perhaps, in a. few ex ceptional cases. How then, have they come here ? They have almost all come to get some surplus funds of their own, for a specific object, which is generally one of three or four particular purposes. Some have come from filial piety, to re lieve their father's small farm from debt; some to educate a brother; hut more yet, probably, to get their wedding " set-out," m anticipation of an event which may hap pen to any woman. Others again are young widows, with one or two small FRIDAY EVEXIXG, DECEMBER 19, ISSI. children, which being left at some friend's, they struggle to clothe and educate. All these objects are laudable and honorable. Nay, are not the women who will enter on such self-denial for such objects worthy of admiration ! Are they not the equals of those queens of homespun described and lauded by I)r. Bushnell ! I come now to that which America boasts so much, the inventive power, which clothes this machinery with life, and sends it forth conquering and to conquer over all inanimate nature, and to successful compe tition with all rival powers. I will give an example: A certain part of these shawls had to be spun by hand. This process was expensive ; it was necessary to do it by machinery, or there was dan ger of a failure. One of the proprietors, whose name is known throughout America, employed a very ingenious man to make, if possible, a machine to accomplish it. He sat down, with nothing but his brains to work with, and at the end of five or six months produced the machinery ready to do its work. The cost of doing it was only one twenty-fifth part! Two cents did what fifty was required to do before. The saving, in the amount of work done, was equal to all the profits of the estab lishment, and placed the work out of dan ger. It was the triumph of the human mind ! It was the demonstration of that peculiar genius which never can he devel oped to an equal extent under any other than free institutions. As 1 surveyed tiiis monument to Ameri can intelligence, as I looked upon these educated and independent women, most of them working for noble ends, I remem bered with indignation, that some members ot Congress had dared to compare the condition of these operatives with that of the dark and degraded slaves ! How great was his ignorance, or how bitter his ma lignity. E. D. M. INTERESTING FROM HUNGARY—ARREST OF AN AGENT OF KOSSUTH. —The fol lowing information from Hungary, by the last steamer, is interesting: A grave event has taken place amongst the Austrian Corps d'Armee in Holstein. Many of the regiments comprising it consist in a great part of the Hungarians, and among them are many young men of noble families, who are compelled by Austrian government to serve as private soldiers. In spite of disasters drawn down on un fortunate Hungary by the revolution, these soldiers cannot repress the hatred which animates them, or their desire for a new revolution. The presence in England of Ex-Governor Kossuth has greatly con tributed, of late, to excite the sentiment of hatred of these Hungarian soldiers, and an armed revolt, of which the consequence would have been incalculable, in the North, has been on the point of breaking out amongst them, but it has been prevented by the active surveillance of the superior officers of the Austrian battalions. An agent of Kossuth and the Revolutionary propaganda of Loudon, the Hungarian Count l'otoeki, was arrested by the mili tary authorities o:' Reusburg. lie had arrived from London, byway of Earis, under a false name; in his possession were found proclamations exciting the soldiers to revolt, and printed copies of Kossuth's last speech in England. Hay nan was recently nearly burned to death at his residence in Hungary, an incen diary having set his house on lire. AN EGYPTIAN KEY.—M. I)c Nerval, a recent French traveller in Egypt, thus de scribes the key of a house which lie took during his residence in Cairo. It was a piece of wood " like a baker's tally, at one end of which five or six nails were driven in, as if at random ; but there was no ran dom in the matter. This strange key is introduced into a hole in the door; the nails correspond with little holes, invisible from w itliout, pass through them and raise a wooden bolt." There never was an unfortunate plant that went through as many tortures as the tomato. It lias, by experimental house wives, been stewed, fried, roasted and bar bacued for eating. It lias been served up raw, and done up in pies, puddings, pick els and preserves. It has been dried like apples, made into Hour, and rolled into pills. It has been food and physic for us. Now it is to be made into whiskey for us. The last agony into which it has been plunged, has been suffered in the distillery. Tomato whiskey punch will be the great feature, hereafter, in bar-rooms and oyster cellars. THE USE OF A GRAND-MOTHER. —As two urchins were trotting along together, one of thetn fell and broke a pitcher which lie was carrying.—He then commenced crying, when the other boy aked him why he 'look on so V ' Cause,' says he, ' when I get home, mother will lick me for breaking the mug!' 'What,' said the other, ' hain't you got a grand-mother living at \ our house V 'No !' was the re ply." 'Well I have, and 1 might break two mugs and they dare'ni tick tut. * T)o • on keep matches ? asked a wag, of a retailer. ' O yes, all kinds,' was the reply. '1 ben I'll take a trotting match.' &Stncultural, Kc. Smoke Houses. Many persons commit great errors in building smoke houses. To be nice, and be a handsome and respectable apperte nance on a farm, it must forsooth be built with brick or stone, with close fitting doors, and a single aperture for the egress of the smoke.—The consequence is, the meat is black and bitter, and might as well have been put up in pickle of pyroliginous acid ; having lost all its flavour, and smelling of soot like a chimney sweep. The walls are so close and cold that the smoke con denses and settles upon the hams and ba con, and instead of drying, it becomes flabby and ill-colored. A smoke house can hardly be too open. It takes longer, to be sure, to perfect the process; but when completed, the meat is dry, and a fine chestnut color, and a deli cate flavor of the smoke penetrating the whole mass. The best houses we have seen, are built with a stone wall, three feet high, flagged bottom, and wooden structure built on die toj) of the wall. Common siding is tight enough, or boarding endwise like boarding a barn is sullicient, with a tight board or shingle roof. The bottom is used for an ash house, and the smoke fire is built on the ashes. It is safe lor both purposes, and will produce a much finer article for those who have a sweet tooth for that de licious treat—a nice flavored ham.— Cuernscy Times. Instruction in Agriculture. In the kingdom of Prussia there are five Agricultural Colleges, and a sixth is about to be opened : in these are taught by both theory and practice, the highest branches of science connected with the culture and improvement of the soil: of Agricultural schools of a more elementary order, there are ten; there are also seven schools de voted to instruction in the culture of llax; two specially devoted to instruction in the management of meadow lands; one for instruction in the management of sheep ; —and there are forty-five model farms, intended to serve in introducing better modes of Agriculture: in all seventy-one public establishments for Agricultural edu cation, not to mention others of a kindred nature, or those private schools where the art and science of good farming are taught. —Aew York Tribune. Ground and In-Ground—Cooked and In (ooked Food. In a communication from the Society of Shakers, at Lebanon, .New \ ovk, in the Patent Office Report, we find the fol lowing upon the relative value of ground and un-ground, cooked and un-eooked corn, for feeding and fattening cattle, Ac. ' The experience of more than thirty years leads us to estimate ground corn at one-third higher than un-srround as food for cattle, especially for fattening pork; hence i: lias been the practice of our so ciety for more than a quarter of a century to grind ali our provender. The same experience induces us to put a higher value upon cooked, than upon raw meal, and for fattening animals, swine particularly, we consider three of cooked, equal to four of raw meal.' The Shakers are a close observing, cal culating people, and go in for the practi cal realities of lil'e, and, therefore, in the economy of food, must be presumed to be good judges. lor ourselves, we are dis posed to believe the conclusion to which they have arrived at as correct. — Ameri can Farmer. Weights and Measures. The following table of the number of pounds of various articles to a bushel, may be of interest to some of our farming friends: Of wheat, sixty-pounds. Of shelled corn, fifty-six pounds. Of corn, in the cob, seventy pounds. Of oats, thirty-live pounds. Of barley, forty-eight pounds. Of potatoes, sixty pounds. Of beans, sixty pounds. Of clover seed, sixty pounds. Of timothy seed, forty-five pounds. Of Hax seed fifty-six pounds. Of bran, twenty pounds. Of hemp seed, forty-four pounds. Of buckwheat, fifty-two pounds. Of blue grass seed, fourteen pounds. Of castor beans, forty-six pounds. WORTH KNOWING —lt is said that a small piece of rosin dipped in the water which is placed in a vessel on a stove (not an open fire-place,) will add a peculiar property to the atmosphere of the rooin, which will give great relief to persons troubled with a cough. The heat of the stove is sufficient to throw oil the aroma of the rosin, and gives the same relief that is afforded by the combustion of the rosin. This is preferable to combustion, because the evaporation is more durable. The same rosin may be used for weeks. ~ rn nriT-i una, i-.
