MISCELLANY Y.
WOman's Patience.

How strange that the patience of Job
should be considered so remarkable, when
there are SO many mothers in the world,
whose patience equals, il it does not exceed
his What would Job have done had he
been compelled TO sit in the house and sew,
and knit, and nurse the children, and see
that hundreds Of different things were attend
ed to during the day, and hear children cry,
and fret, aud complain Or how would he
have stood it, if like some poor women, he
had been obliged to rear a family OF ten or
twelve children, without help, spending
months, years-all the prime of life-in
washing, securing. scrubbing, mending, cook
ing, nursing children, fastened TO the house
and his offspring from morning till night,
and from night ill morning. sick or well, in
storm or in sunshine, his nights often rem
dered miserable by watching over his chill
dren? How could he have stood all this,
and, in addition, TO all other troubles, the
curses, and even violence, ofa drunken COM
panion? How could he have felt, after
wearing out his very existence for his tender
offspring, and a worthless companion, 10 be
abused and blamed Job endured his boils
and losses very well for short time, but
they did not endure long enough to test the
length Of his patience. Woman tests her
patience by a whole life Of trials, and she
does not grumble at her burdens. We are
honestly Of the opinion, that woman has more
patience than Job: : and, instead Of saying
The patience of Job,' we should say, 'The

The Factory Business.

The Lowell Advertiser. in noticing the as
serrion that some of the factories in that CITY
had stopped running because they couldn't
sell their goods, says
Some of the mills in Lowell are TO be
stopped TO have their machinery Iepaired and
improved, and some to substitute the Tur-
bine for the old wheel. But not one, we
think, on account of "a depression ofthe man
ufacturing business.
There is one more cause for the trif1ing
suspension Of business proposed at this time.
The policy of the owners of the Lowell fac
tories has been TO get their work done by
the cheapest labor they could find. Acting
upon this policy, they have introduced for
eign iaborers to the exclusion of .4mericans,
until the Americans do not number over one
third of the operations of Lowell. They have
at last learned the fact that, owing 20 a wan,
of skill, readiness and tractabilily, the cheap
foreign laborers they have introduced are not
so cheap after oil as the old American la
borers they have sent back to the country;
and they have now determined to effect
another substitution, and get rid of por-
ton of their foreign laborers, and get back
American women and men, or effect another
reduction of wages.

I like an Open, Honest Heart.

~A SPcA, 31OueSI k4edrC
like an open, honest heart,
Where frankness loves to dwell.
Which has no place for base deceit,
Nor hollow words can tell;
But in whose throbbings plain are seen,
The import of the mind,
Whose gentle breathings utter nought,
But accents true and kind.
sco'n that one whose empty act,
And honied words of art,
Betray the feelings of the soul,
With perfdy's keen dart;
No more kind friends in such confde,
Nor in their kindness trust,
For black ingratitude but turns
Pure friendship to disgust.
Contempt, is but gentle word,
feeling far too mild,
For one who confidence betrays,
And guilt has sore beguird;
That hate which hellish fields evince,
When in dark torments toss'd,
Is not more loathsome to the soul,
Than one to honor lost.
Then give me one with heart as free,
And gen'rous as the air,
Whose ready hand and greeting kind,
Give proof that truth is there.
Whose smiling countenance well shows,
Affection warm is found,
And springs as pure as saints, whose note
Through Heavens vaults resound.

The following reply to an old bachelors ad-
vertiscment for wife. we copy from the Port
land Transcript. 1t shows what can be ac-
compished by adreftsins. If you want busi-
ness you must advertise and if wife, why,
all you have got to do is to advertise.
To w. b. M, in Search Of Wife.
Sir As you solicit proposals for matrimony
through public medium, have taken the
liberty to encroach upon your time, by address,
ing you. Although my age exceeds that of 20,
by four, l think you would not object to that,
when you consider that cheese improves by age
and your age would then exceed mine by IL
years.
I am country girl, and can milk, make hut
ter and cheese; can get up early in the morn
ing, am not afraid of a COW, nor work. My
health is good. l am five feet four inches in
height being well proPortioned, and weigh
lis lbs. have full, hazel eyes, dark brown
hair, red cheeks, and my teeth are very good.
have two trades, and can do fancy and orna-
mental needlework. Can do, in fact, almost
every kind of work. have never been mar
red, for the simple reason that never have
vet seen charming old bachelor who wished
to make me his darling, for l never can become
young mans slave, as my principles are in fa-
vor ofequal rights.
If YOU possess the following requisites, you
can come into possession of that for which you
advertise-a wife. The following are the re-
quisites which the man must possess to be my
husband. A tall and graceful figure, with no
small share of dignity. A head with the in
telectual organs we'll developed, high forehead.
with slightly arching brows of jet; black.
sparkling eyes. and they must bear the index
of noble, manly heart. Ruby lips, and teeth
like pearls, and hair of glossy black. Neatness
must be a prominent trait in his character, he
must not smoke or use the vile weed in any
way. He must be strictly temperate, perfectly
honest. and not be guilty of doing a mean ac-
ton, (for meanness places man on level with
the brute) He must play no games of hazard,
nor use profane or obscene language. In dis
position kind and forgving, he must place no
small share of his affections upon me. He must
be witty, and sentimental grave and comic
wise and judicious ambitious and aspiring to
all that is good and ennobling and | care not
if he cutivates taste for the fine arts. In
short, he must be perfect, and take the news
papers. and pay for them in advance. And if
you answer my description of gentleman.

vance, here is my hand and heart, brother.
Yours respectfully,

Another Crevas.e.

The New Orleans Delfa Of the 18th instant con-
tains a letter, dated Bayou Sara, June ~, stating
that breach has been made in the grand levee in
the parish Of Ponte Coupee, one hundred and fifty
yards wide, and the river is running over at tre
mendous rate, overlooking all Of that lovely parish
that was not previously submerged, and great
portion of the Attakapas country.
The Dsita Of the l4th says:
1.-The crevasse in Grand Levee, Pointc Coupee, of
which accounts were published in our Yesterday
evenings edition, will, we fear, prove one Of the
most disastrous and calamitous events which has
taken place in Louisiana for many years past This
break occurs at point where the river has long
indicated a tendency to break through to the sea-
III direction which would be leas than half the
distance it is now compelled 10 meander before il
reaches its destination. in other words the dis
lance from the Grand Leyee, in Puinte Coupee to
the sea shore, by straight line, would be little
more than one third the distance from that point TO
the Balize This tendency OF the Mississippi to-
wards the sea shore has been developing itse II
every year, until, by the unfortunate and unwise
act OF cutting the Raccourc off, the whole tor
rent was brought down with such mighty pressure,
that gradually all the barriers erected In Puinte
Coupee have given way; and even previous to this
break in the Grand Levee, nearly one half of the
parish had been put under water.
This recent calamity, however, is the last and
browning disaster Of the multitude which have
afflicted our State during the last season The
water which breaks through here will hasten ra-
Piuiy Iowaros inc sea, over country the falrest
and most productive on this continent. We refer
to the Attakapas, embracing the parish Of St. Mary,
which produces the largest amount Of sugar of any
parish in the state-St. Martin, Lafayette, and a
large part of Ascension and IbbervilIe These par
ishes are situated in low, fiat country, composed
OF alluvial soil, and watered by numerous bayous
and lakes. The flow of 30 large body of water
into these outlets will cause such rise must in
undate the whole country. 1t was, we believe, by
a similar crevasse, in 1928, that many of the best
portions OF these parishes, cultivated with
great success, were submerged to the extent of

no exaggeration Of the damage done. II will
reach several, nay, many millions We rest in
hope, however, that either the will be stop
