Shocking and Fatal Cruelty to q
Chid.-ln June last Anna Hilton, nine
years old, was adopted from the New
York Five Points House Of Industry, by
Mrs. Simpson Decker at Long Neck,
Staten Island. Last week the child died,
and coToner's jury found that she 'came
to her death by being beaten in brutal
manner, from exposure, and from want
Of proper nourishment, at the hands oI
Mrs. Matilda Ann Decker" Mrs D. is
now in Richmond county Jail. The tes-
timony shows that the child was made 10
do the family washing in yard in the Sc
verest weather that she had nothing on
her feet and but scanty clothing on her
body that her feet were frozen, and she
put them in the oven of the stove, where
they were burned TO blister; that she
could not walk, but was made TO do house
work still, creeping about on her hands
and knees, until her knees were dreadful
ly laceraied, ihat she was habitually beat
en- with broomstick, and treated with
the utmost cruelty in every way--in fact,
deliberately starved and pounded 10 death.
The directors OF the mission have taken
the matter in hand, and the whole matter
will be sifted thoroughly.

To Unmarried Ladies.

The following items Of advice to ladies'
remaining in state Of single blessedness,
are extracted from the manuscript o. an
old dowsger:
If you have blue eyes, languish.
If black eyes, affect spirit.
Ifyou have pretty feet, wear short pet
iicosts.
If fyou are the least doubtful as to that
point, wear them long.
If you have good teeth, don't forget TO
laugh, now and then.
Ifyou have bad ones, you must only
shipper
While you are young, sit with your
face TO the light.
When you are little advanced, sit
with your back 10 The window.
If you have bad voice, always speak
in a low tone.
If it is acknowledged that you have a
fine voice, never speak in high tone.
If YOU dance well, dance seldom.
If you dance i'll, never dance al all.
If you sing well, make no Puerle eX-
cuses.
If you sing indifferently, hesitate not n
moment, when you are asked, Tor lew
persons are competen: judges OF singing
but every one is sensible of desire to
please.
If in conversation. You think person
wrong, rather hint difference of opinion,
than offer a contradiction.
1t is always in Your power 10 make a
friend by smiles what folly to make en-
emies by Grown.
When YOU have an opportunity to
praise, do it with al! your heart.
When YOU are forced TO blame, do II
with reluctance.
If you are envious of another woman,
neven show it bu, by allowing her every
good quality and perfection except those
which she really possesses.
If you wish to let the world know YOU
are in love with a particular man, trea
him with formaIiy and every one else
with ease and freedom.
If you are disposed 10 be petllsh or in
solenl, it is better TO exercise your III hn
NOR on your dog, or your cat, or you
servant, than on your friend.
If you would preserve beauty, rise ear
y.
If you would preserve esteem, he gen.
tie.
Ifyou would obtain power, be conde.
scending.
If you wonld be happy, endeavor TO
promote the happiness of others.
