I got along well until next spring when the beef eating population began to steal my fat cattle, and seemed determined I should get no richer. The country was over-stocked with desperate and lawless renegades in Los Angeles and from one to four dead men was about the number picked up in the streets each morning.
In about twenty months the pond was full of small rudd, and last year we netted out many hundred, as the water was terribly over-stocked with them. The same thing has happened in almost every case which has come to my knowledge; that is, of course, where the waters have been stocked with food, and suitable to the fish introduced.
Young women are eagerly rushing into every other employment, till feminine trades and callings are all over-stocked.
The registry lady was kind, sufficiently interested to appear amiable, but not at all reassuring in her views as to Joan's prospects. "I am afraid I cannot hold out very much hope," she said, after five minutes' crisp questioning of Joan. "You have, you see, so very few qualifications, and the market is rather over-stocked with girls who can do just a little.
Simply because the profession is over-stocked with seniors. I would like to know what Tennyson's age is, and Ruskin's, and Browning's. Every one of them is over seventy, and all writing away yet as lively as you like. It is a crying scandal. "Things are the same in medicine, art, divinity, law in short, in every profession and in every trade. "Young ladies cry out that this is not a marrying age.
This he was told, and informed, moreover, that so large a number of clerks arrived yearly in Australia and America, that the market in that sort of labour was over-stocked, and that, if he was a clerk, he had a better chance in the Old World than in the New. "I am not a clerk; I have lately been a tutor," said Brian. References? He could refer them to his late employer. A degree?
Mere clerks, who can write and add up figures, are of no use; the colony is over-stocked with them. But if they are handy, ready to work, and willing to turn their hand to anything, they need never be without the means of honest living. In many respects Melbourne is very like home. It looks like a slice of England transplanted here, only everything looks fresher and newer.
In the papers which gave rise to these reflections, I observe that some of your manufacturing towns are discontented, and attribute the stagnation of their commerce to the war; but it is not unlikely, that the stagnation and failures complained of might have taken place, though the war had not happened. When I came here in 1792, every shop and warehouse were over-stocked with English goods.
Miss Daisy has a decided pleasure in store for her." "It's windy up there, too, as well as here," said Joe. "Are you dressed warm enough, Daise?" "Sure thing! I'm all lined," said Daisy, smiling slyly at his clouded brow. "You look just like a mummy in a case, Joe. Ain't you just put in an invoice of a pint of peanuts or another apple? Your stock looks awful over-stocked."
There are several districts of sandy desart in Col. There are forty-eight lochs of fresh water; but many of them are very small meer pools. About one half of them, however, have trout and eel. There is a great number of horses in the island, mostly of a small size. Being over-stocked, they sell some in Tir-yi, and on the main land.
