Tie PREPARATIONS for q noble birth are usually on

These LaTe form large and unique company

out for nurses. On entering family each has her

these are often increased in number by the bounty OF

she cLoose food TO her taste she is compelled 10

not always to her rustic appetite most paatabe. Who
nav tell the secret sorrOw of the bol,d1 How often
she turns back longing TO her own thstched cabin by
the brook ride, pning for the leeks and onions she

The other day we were quite amused to see hour
isiipg bolia-whose plumpness seemed a burden that
she WAS too lazy to caTy-after walking the length of
tie course go TO the carriage begging to be taken u
but "uy lady" said no-ehe must turn back-the
poor bahs l-snd walk the same length over again
ior her valuable healths sake. What pout what
significant shiug of dimpled shoulders that with
which the amptred creature submitted TO her hard
fate! Who would not be the poIeAta-f-d nurse Of
one own cb;ld-wOrking at necessity, yet going and
c, mil a. will rather than the dressed mp fattened

much OF Heaven r free air.
Whoever comes from dear America TO this corrupt
old country murt See day and night, in dreams, re-
m,mbered scenes, where truth and affection preside,
which seem douby beautiful in contrast with the per-
v,rsious of Iature here. They say county is
Young and innoeent-whch IN their sense means what
We mean BY green; that sooner later all thrss
corrultions will undermine domestic and political
Institutions. Heaven forferd! Let US rather resolve,
with our own Edwards, "as we advance In yesrs not
"to grow old. lest the moth and rus Of stagnation
