Ay, she is a happy girl--we know
it by her fresh looks and boyant spir-
its. Day in an day out, she has some
thing to do, and she takes hold Of
work as if she did not fear to soil her
hands or dirty her apron. Such girls
we love and respect wherever we find
them--in a palace ora hovel. Al
ways pleasant and always kind, they
never turn up their noses before your
face. or slander you behind your back
They have more good sense and better
employment. What are 1irts, and
hustle bound girls in comparison with
these? Good for nothing but to look
at; and that is rather disgusting.--
