- raend us to l.he girl oí whom il issneoringty said, ''sho works for a living;" in her we aro ahvayssure to find the elementa of a true woinan - a rea! lady True, we are not prep.ired to see a mineing step, haugi.ty Jipa, a fashicnab!e dress, or hear i stnng of sploidid Donsopse about the bulls aud young raen, the now novéis and tho next party no, no, bnt we are preparad to hear the sound words of good sense, laugnage beeomiiig a wornan, a neat dress, inild brow, and to wltness movements that wo-uld not disgrace an angel. You who are looking for wives and companions turn from the -fashionable, !azy,haughty girls, and select one from those who work for a living; and never - uur word for it - will you repent your choiee. You want a substantial friend, and not a dolí ; a help-mate, not a helpeat; a counsellor, and not a simpleton. You muy not be ablo to carry a piano into your house, but yon can buy a spinning wheel or a set of knittingneedles. If you cannot buy a ticket for the ball,you oati yisitsome afflicted neighbor. Be careful, thon, when you look for companions, and wlion you choo.-e. We know many a fooi i sh man, who, instead of choosing an irid'astiious and prudent woman for a wiíe, took one IVom the fashionable stock, and is now lamenting his folly in düsl and ashes. He ran into the fire with hia oyes wide open. and who but himseif is to blame? The time Uvas when ladies went visting and rook their work with them. fhis is tho roason why we had sueh excullcnt molhers. Ilow singular would i gay womaq look n a fiichionable cirelu durning ber fathor's stockings, or carding wool to spin ? Would not her (.■onipanions laugh at hei ? And yet such a woman would be a prize to Homeliody. Elesaed is the man who choo8es for his wifo from displstíd girls " who work for their living?'!
