ardent and prominent politician ior nan century
he was never an in.nguer. and we think no man
evsr ,ccnsed him Of mean act. He leaves behind
bnt few who were politicians when he came on
the stage of public life and if he had somewhat
outhved his influence, he had also outived the en-
mites which Power always incurs Peace TO his
memory
- OUR YAsEEE GIRLS appear to the ten-do
lar journals the mostirrationa abseeJ class OF NOR
tails ever heard of "A Farmer in the Express

Cities when they might each enjoy ihe says "a com
Portable home at domestic service with high wages
in the country We are inclined to think that
some of them do miss it in coming 10 the Cities
We counsel exhort, entreat every young woman
who can get any kind OF ali honest livelihood IN The
Country not TO 10 the Cities IN the deiusi'e
hone Of doing better or lvine more genteeily here
One in hundred may do so, but the great majority
can barely obtain here the means OF existence
while fearful proportion driven or dragged
into wavs and haunts compared with which death
by starvation is mercy.
The Editor Of the Express seconds the motion OF

born" "a false PRIDE restrains the American wo'
man from hiring as servant 1t IS amazing
that such is often the prade Of an American woman
that she will prefer hunger and cold to honest but
domestic labor in other peoples service &c &c
In short domestic service is represented as SO very
light so very pleasant, so very comfortable ana SO
amnlv maid that il is astonishing that all who can
do moi rush into it-that the Juvenile female Brooks
es Webbs and Chambers are not all regularly
trained with view to IT, and instructed TO look
forward with extatic anticipatons OF the delights
they are TO experience in kindllng tires, scuboing
floors and emptying slops from house to house and
street to street through le-let IN the lace OF all
this Arcadian picture stands and stares the awk
ward ugly obstinate. provoking fact that our Amer
lean girls though not as class unwilling TO en-
counter the cares and abors Of households OF their
own do yet fight shy OF performing the necessary
labors in other peoples families. And though the
blessings of servitude are daily expounded to them
in accents that might answer to vile the bird
from the tree the good Saint who preached to the
fishes was blest with far more edited congre-
CATION. Our girls persist in finding or feigning
difference between domestic felicity aud the fell
city OF domcstics their 'taise PRIDE reslsts the
most Expressive Establishments and each succeed
ing wear finds fewer and fewer OF them willing TO
hire out as household servants. In their absence,
it must be confessed that the monopoly OF house
hold duties by Irish and German iemales-nearly
all separated by strong Religious and National
feelings from the families they serve-erossly is-
norant OF our Social habits and tendencies as well
as deficient in general intellectual culture-does
certainly detrac, much from the comfort OF our
homes and firesdes The evil is confessed What
is the remedy Is there any rational hope oi cor
recting it by scoding or blarneying Editorials
For our part, We are convinced that the noun
tain will not come to Mahomet, charm he never so
wisely We must get rid of the notion that it is
nothing but : false pride which repels our young
women from domestic service, and look carefully
into the matter to II there be not something IN
the nature of the required service or in its habtual
conditions, which renders it palpably irksome
and revolving.
You, Madam. who talk so hippantly OF the folly
or false pride of our girls have you ever attempted
to put yoursel in their place and consider the mat
teri Have you ever weighed in the balance
crust and garret at home with better food and
lodging in the house Of stranger? Have you ever
thought of the difference between doing the most
srtluous and repulsve work for those you love and
who love you and doing the same in strange place
for those to whom your only bond Of attachment Is
six dollars month Have you ever considered
that the words of reproof and reprcach so easy TO
utter are very hard TO bear, especially from one
whose right so to treatyou a thing OF cash and oi

and service nothing to you? How many would
YOU like to have ordering YOU p But enough.
