AN EXCELLENT CIIARACTER.—A lady,
not far from this place, was waited on by a tidy-looking
young woman, who requested to know if she was in want
of a housemaid ? On being answered in the allirmative,
she begged to offer her services. " Before I engage you,"
said the lady,
" I must obtain your character, from the
person with whom you last resided, therefore, call On me
to-morrow, and in the meantime I will write for it." The
following is a true copy of the reply :—" Madam, Si'r:i•
I)AY lived with me won yer an levn munths she nous
cookin backin au bruin an is a huseful kind of body."—
