POETRY Take a walk through the streets of Manâ€" chester, Birmingnam, Rochdale, or any other manufacturing town in England or on the Contiuent; observe the puny, unâ€" dersized, ricketty, sallow, and stunted craiâ€" catures of humavity with which nature has avenged the breakiug of her laws. These wretched beings, w ho never knew what it was to be in health, are the product of the greed of the factory owners of the last genâ€" erationâ€"men who looked only to present gains, and did not think flesh and blood could be esteemed too cheaply provided that labor did not get dear in thoir own time. As for England, the Factory Acts and the efforts of the Trades Unions have put an end to the abuse of children, and have abolished the worst of evils from which the adult operntive suffered. ‘The Factory Acts of England are no deadletter like those of New England. Already,thanks to theso humane laws, the condition of Eng. 'lish operatiyes, physical and moral, has greatly improved. Deterioration of the| race is stopped at least, and all observers | say that a peresptible improvement in the | health and bearing of the rising generation | is to be seepn. It appears as if the byâ€"gone | sucerings of Engligh slave children were |; Rehold, then, the ret result of all the vast sacrifices which the American people have made in order that they may manuâ€" facture those things which nature has deâ€" creed can be more cheaply maanufactured olsewhere, â€" People } ave been drawn away from the farm, the forest, and such indusâ€" tries as labor can be put to with the be t adâ€" vantage to the country. They have been euticed to from this healthfal work to ocâ€" cupations which ean only be carried on nt‘ the loss of health and vigor. Massachusetts Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, are toâ€"day sowing the wind, and as sure as toâ€"morrow will come, they will reap the whirlwind. Accompanying this gloomy picture is a desertption of the dwelling houses of these unfortunate toilers. Tt is almost unnecesâ€" ary to say thet their home condition is wretched in the extrume. The tenement house system prevail«, with its train of cvils. Squalor, misery, overcrowding in its most exaggerating form, sickness, preâ€" maturely broken coustitutions, and carly deathâ€"these are the leading incidents in | the life of the New England factory hands. \ $547 00 This is more than the family carned atter the child‘s earnings were deducted. Many ther cnses of a similnr nature were given. It was only in very rare cases that the faâ€" ther‘s income was fonnd to be sufficient to snpport the whole family. In short, withâ€" ont the assistance of their children, the maâ€" jority o‘ the workingmen‘s families would be in poverty or debt. This is the conclnuâ€" sion arrived at by the Adlantic writer. The State of Massachusetts has excellent factory laws. The employment of elnldren under ten years of age is absolutely forbidâ€" den, and children between ten and fourteon ere only to be employed on the condition that they attend school for twenty weeks m each year. Itappears, however, these wise and humane laws aro systematically disreâ€" garded. | In only three out of one hundred and sixty factories lately in=pected, were the laws found to be complied with. The certificates of attendanc at sehool, which the law requires shall be in possession of the employers of child labor, wére often found to apply to other chi‘dren than those ractualâ€" ly employed in tho mills. â€" ‘Thirty Boston factories were visited by & school truant officer in the discharge offhis duty.

The oldest known & sedimentary rocks, comprising the Laurcnâ€" 1 tian and Huronian systems of Canada,have ‘| a total average thickness which cannot cerâ€" ‘| tainly be estinaated at anything less than j 80,000 feet. Sir Wiliiam Logan, indeed, | the greatest authority upon these primeval lformations, considered the measurable I thickness of the Upper and Lower Laurenâ€" | tian alone to amount respectively to 20,000 tand 10,000 teet, while he set down the I Huronian system as reaching some 18,000‘ more. But as doubts have raised whether the Huronian series are not really the metâ€" amorphosed representatives of the Upper Laurentian, we will leave them out from our calculation, so as to avoid any possible cause of offence. The great Cambrian sysâ€" tem, the next in order of time, has a thickâ€" ness which may be fairly estimated at from 25,000 to 30,000 feet. We will adopt the smalter figure. The Silnrian is preity cerâ€" tainly known to number 6,000 feet. The Old Red Sandstons, with is doubtfil conâ€" l ’ temporary. the Devonian, cannot be put : down for less than 10,000. The Carboniâ€" ferous series amount to at least 12,000 feet, the coal measures alone sometimes attainâ€" ing to fully that thieckness. Thus the wholo Primary group, including the soâ€"called | azoie rocks, has a total vertical extent of not less than 83,000 feet. By the side of these enormous thicknesses we can only allow 10,000 foct for the whole of the seeâ€" ondary formation, from the Permian to the Chalk inclustve, while we shall be generâ€" ous if we assign 1,000 feet to the little| group of the Tertiary and Post Tertiary | deposits. ‘This gives us a stotal thickness ] for the whols geological geriecs of 94,000l 1 feet.
