In wealthy and we'll conducted families the poorest girls may have this advantage. By avoiding do- mcstic service, they deprive themselves of advantages which they can never have in any other business. The pride of females often condemns them to poverty and to single life.

 Pretty Fair.-Not long since a worthy me- chanic of this place. who by prudence and industry had put by enough to purchase a sSaall lot on which to erect workshop, did so. The deed was made out and presented to him, and he wishing to be sure all was right, took it to a lawyer and requested him to ..:...: it over. On the lawyers pronounc- ing it all rIgn, - s...- ..'... - "As you are poor man, will charge you but five dollars" was the generous reply Not many days after this, the lawyer rode out in his carriage, and when near the shop of his recently sheared customer, some part of his rigging gave way, which compelled him 10 call blacksmith.

 Ingenious Derice.-Report saith that the industrious ladies of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, when they were obliged to go out to work in the cornfelds and to leave their young children unattended at home. make use of the following admirable contrivance to supply the young one with nourshment. and at the same time to prevent serious acci- dents. First, they place the child on its back in the centre of the floor, then they take twine string and tie piece of fat ba- con to one end of it, and the other end they fasten 10 the infants great toe. The baby, having the bacon placed in its mouth, begins. to suck very heartily and, if during the mothers absence, it happens to draw the meat into its throat,it naturally gives kick; the motion of the feet jerks the twine, and the lump of fat is pulled out in time to pre- vent suffocation. By this means the servi- ces of child's nurse are dispensed with, and the mammas can leave home for four hours, wnissout feeling any apprehensions tor the little cheruHs,s safety.
