Under the title of •'Picking up *
Living,” Mr. James Greenwood, th 0
“Amateur Casual,” writes to the Lon
don Slsw the tollowing account of a
scene in the English capital:
The manufacture of toys has is
modern timee become an important
branch of the trade. Whole districts in
Germany and Switzerland are em
ployed in the production of Kokh’s arks,
and dolls’ “tea things,” and snefi like
goods, and according to the last “Pest-
Office Directory” returns, goodness
knows how many persons are returned
as dolls’ “eye” and “wig” makers.
Bat these are toys unkuown in Leather
Lane.
It is a market place for struggling
poverty, arid its toys are expressly con
trived to suit the taste and means of the
population. Miss Spangled ilia, with her
wonderful trimmings and laces, and a
marvellous mechauical contrivance in
the region of her stomach that causes
her to emit unearthly sounds when
pressed to do so, may be all very well
for the West Ehd market, but the “in
dustrious washer'oman,” as the seller
persists in calliug her, better suits
Leather lane, because the contempla
tion of that ingenious toy, besides
amusing, teaches a practical lesson
against idleness. It is made out of
spring wood, and the litubs of the
“washer omaa” are jointed with tugs of
strings, and her arms are made to ap
pear as though immersed in the tuo ;
and when a bobbiu at the back is agi
tated, she at once commences to wash it
in the most energetic manner. This, it
may be assumed, is for the little girls of
Leather lane, since for little boys there
is a companion toy known as the “hard
working cobbler,” contrived on the
same principles, and depicting an opera
five of the cordwaiuifig persuasion strain
ing till he squints in a very horrible
manner, as be stretches out his arms
over sewing a shoe sole.
The hard-working cobbler and the
washerwoman mu\ lie bought, at the
low price ol a half-penny each, and.
there are eight joiuts in -each figure,
which is painted in various colors. “I
make ’em myself—least-ways, me and
my old woman do," the cobbler man
informed tne, with a rueful face, be
cause of the slakuess of trade, and with
out desisting from jerking the string
attached to the figure in hw Hand.
“Sometimes she sells and I makes, and
sometimes I sells and she makes.'!’
“How many can you make in a (lay ?”
“What, sticking hard at it ? why, I'd
w rrant to make five do2en ; and out
of that you may safely set the wood
down nt sixpence.” “Which leaves
two shillings for your day’s work ?”
“When they're sold it do,’’"replied he,
jerking the poor washerwoman- spite
fully, and compelling her to duck down
her head in an agoniz J manner.
“They won't go off to night ; me and
my old woman set up all last night
making, wanting a shilling extra, it
being Christmas time, and she’s out
selling, too. If she ai’ut got uo better
luck than I Lave, there’ll be no tear of
our plum pudding biliug over and put
ting the fire out. A sorry manner of
picking up a living this, my friends 1
“But here, alas! is a sorrier. ‘Dolls’
hi,uses a t.-irdeu each I only a furden 1
with a roglcr winder and a door wliut'll
open and shut.’ This time an old wo
man, with ns many dolls’ houses as
made a heap, us they stood before her,
at least three feet long and as high as
her waist. The bouses were built of
pastel card and brushed over with some
sort of gum, and then sprinkled with
red sand, which gave them quite a
pretty appearance; and besides this,
each huii two chimney pots and a win
dow and a street doffr, with a knocker
and a knob painted on it, and yet they
were only a farthing each. I inquired
how many her stock numbered, ana she
told me that she had fifty when she
came out at dinner time (it was now
about seven in the evening), and she
supposed she Lad about thirty-six left.
‘ So that when you have sold out you
will have taken a shilling and a half
penny in all ?’ ‘When I’ve sold out, yes.'
‘And what does the material cost you ?'
’Nothing; my gals go round to the
paper warehouses of mornings at sweep
ing time, and haves the old cardboard
give 'em. Leastways, there's the gum
and the sand to buy; but that ain’t
much.’ ‘But who makes them while you
an; out selling?’ ‘My gals and the old
wari; he can tdo much a laying on his
back, eat up with rheuinalics, but be
generally puts in the windows.’ But do
you mean to say what you can earn out
ot dolls' houses is all you have to sup
port the family U ‘Oh, no, sir; thank
Cod, it’s not so bad as that, lv’e got a
boy, sir, as good a chap as here and
there one, and he brings home bis six
siiii.ings as regular as clock work. So
you see sir, we makes a do of it some
how, and thank God it’s no worse.
Ihe dolls house woman provided me
with so much to think about, that all
the way home I had uo eyes for any
other unfortunate engaged in pickiu" up
a living." ° r
Very Cheap.—From an exchange we
learn that the Major ol a certain town
in Ohio, lately “spliced” a couple, for
which he received tbe enormous sum ol
seten'y five cents I This reminds us ot
the old epigram:
A lovo sick pair who had only a dollar,

PERRY DAVIS’
VEGETABLE
J&’paii Kino
STILL TRIUMPHANT !
A ND AFTER A THOROUGH TRIAL
EA. by innumerable living witnesses, has
proved itself to be
THE MEDICINE OF THE AGE.
Although there hove been many mcd;ci
nal preparations brought before the public
since the first introduction of Perry Davis’
Vegetable Pain Killer, and large’amounts
expended iu their introduction, the Pain
Killer has continued steadily to advance in
the estimation of the world as the best
family medicine ever introduced. As au
internal and external remedy, it is truly a
sourcc.of
Joy to the World!
One positive proof of its efficacy is, that
the sales have constantly increased, and
upon its own merits, as the proprietors have
not resorted to advertising to gain for it the
rank it. now holds among the great number
of preparation? of the present time. The
effect of the Pain Killer upon the patient,
when taken internally in cases of Colds,
Coughs, Bowel Complaints, Cholera, Dys
entery, and other affections of the system,
has been »ruly wonderful, and has won for
it a name among medicinal preparations
that can never be forgotten. Its success in
removing pains, as an external remedy, in
cases of Bnrns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains,
Cuts, Stings of insects, and other causes of
suffering, has secured for it such a host of
ns an almost infallible remedy,
that it will be handed down to posterity as
one of the greatest medical discoveries of
the nineteenth century. The magical ef
fects of the Pain Killer, when taken
according to directions, are certain. You
have only to be sure that, you buy the
genuine article aud adhere to -the directions
in its use, and you will admit its wonderful
medicinal properties.
The genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is
now put up in panel botiles, with the words
Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer blown in tbe
glass: and with two steel engraved Labels
on each bottle—one an excellent likeness of
Perry Davis, tho original inventor of the
medicine, the other a steel engraved note of
baud. None others can be relied upon us
genuine. Prices of bottles 12J cents, 25
cents, 50 cents, aud sl, respectively.
Valuable Medici e —Wo presume no
medical preparation ever offered to the pub
lic has been more thoroughly tested than
PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER. Thou
sands of persons, were they called upon to
do so, would cheerfully testify that they
have used it for various ills, with the most
satisfactory success. It is within our own
knowledge that an immense amount of suf
fering has been relieved by it. Its pro
prietors, Messrs. Perry Davis A Son, save
no pains or expense in order to satisfy the
public. Being strictlj honorable men, they
observe the utmost uniformity in the man
ufacture of their celebrated Pain Killer.
The materials of which it is composed arb
carofully selected—none but the best quality
being used. By these means tho high repu
tation which tbo Pain Killer has long since
acquired is, at all times, triumphantly sus
tained. In view of these facts,"Wo are by
no means surprised to lcaru that Mcssrn.
Davis A Son’s sales are constantly aud
rapidly increasing. While wo congratulate
our friends generally that so valuable a
preparation as the Pain Killer is placed
within their reach, wc must be permitted to
rejoice at ihe well-merited success of its
liberal and enterprising proprietor.—Provi
