THE TECHNOLOGY OF A LADY.

The statement of Col. Benton, that the
word ''lady" is nowhere used in the Scrip
lures. is, so far as the original is concerned,
literally true. The word itself is of COM
paratively modern invention, and there is
no word in the original of the Scriptures
that has any Specification corresponding
with that of the word ''lady" as at present
received. In view of the subject, the fol-
lowing clip is from an old Scotch publica-
ton, called ''The Christian Teacher:
"a LADY.-The word lady is an abreyia-
ton of the Saxon Lafday, which signifies
Bread giver. The mistress of manor, at
a time when affluent families resided con-
stantly at their country mansions. was ac-
customed once a week. or oftener, to distri-
butte among the poor a certain quantity of
bread. She bestowed the boon with her
own hands, and made the hearts of the
needy glad by the soft words and the gentle
amenities which accompanied her benevo-
lence. The widow and the orphan rose up
and called her blessed'-the destitute and
the afflicted recounted her praises--ali
classes of the poor embalmed her in their
affections as the Lafday--the giver of
bread and dispenser of comfort-a sort of
ministering angel in world of sorrow.-
Who is lady now! Is it she who spends
her days in self-indulgence, and her nights
in the dissipation of folly! Is it she who
rivals the gaiety of butterfly, but hates
the industrious hum of the busy bee! Is
it she who wastes, on gaudy finery. what
would make many widows heart sing for
joy, and who, when the rags of the orphan
fiutter before her in the wind, sighs for
place of refuge, as if the pestilence were in
the breeze! This may be "A woman Of
fashion'-she may be AN admired and an
admiring follower of the gay world"

A SENSIBLE GIRL.

Some years since young lady, remarka-
BILE for her maturity and good sense, daugh-
ter of distinguished lawyer and member
of Congress from Worcester county, was
placed at a young ladies boarding school in
the neighborhood of Boston. Her unaffect-
ed manner and sprightliness won the affec-
tons of many of the young ladies, who were
full of their kind Offices, until one day they
inquired the occupation of their fathers
Our young friend perceiving the drift of
that her father was a shoemaker, when
many of them were struck with horror at
her vulgar origin. and change took place
in their conduct towards her. She how
ever, though fully understanding them, re-
manned quiet
After while the father of the young lady
visited the school. AS he was good look
ing man, and as they observed the principal
and others treating him with such great
Difference and respect, the scholars were
led to inquire of their instructress who he
was and what was his business and OH be-
ing told that he was the father of Miss H.,
and that he was O member of Congress,
they were filled with amazement, and i'm
mediately made an attempt to renew their
attentions as formerly; but it was too late.
She looked upon their conduct with such
contempt that they were obliged to keep at
a respectable distance, while those who
treated her kindly, without regard to her
fathers supposed occupation, were ever
afterwards her favorites.-Bosto Journal.

SPANISH SMALL COIN.

There seems to be much unnecessary
misunderstanding in the community in re-
gard to the object of the proposed law in
relation to Spanish small coin. Most per-
sons appear to think it is designed to for
bid the circulation of fractional Mexican or
Spanish coin at anything above the decimal
rates next below their respective denomina-
tions. This is an error. The N. Y. Journal
of Commerce says:
'Those coins are not now legal curren-
cy. and all persons may take them or not.
al their pleasure. The qparters and eighths
of dollar were at one time refused at the
post offices and at all of the banks but
after the reduction in the weight of the
American silver coin, they were again re-
ceived into favor, being, when not too much
worn, intrinsically worth more than coins
of the corresponding nominal value issued
from the U. S. Mint. The substantial fea
ture of the new law authorizes the reception
of quarters, eighths and sixteenths 1.-TWO
shillings, one shilling, and six-penny pie
ces,) at 90, 10 and cents respectively, at
the post office, &C., and forbids their re-
issue.
They are then to be turned over to the
Mint for recoinage with the American
stamp. On an average, these pieces are
worth more for bar silver than the rate fixed
by the pending bill, and if it passes into
law, they will be bought up by the bullion
dealers for private melting, when they will
yield about ST. % per ounce. The main
object of the friends of this reform is to
take from circulation the '.shillings" and
'ssixpences," which are the standing medium
for public robbery by all shrewd dealers in
making change: and also to eradicate the
habit of reckoning in shillings and pence,
which interferes with the beautiful working
of our decimal system among the masses of
people. We again repeat, that there is no
law compelling any one to take them but
the holders need not sacrifice largely upon
them, unless they are clipped or worn very
smooth. 1t will be great blessing to the
country if they can be driven entirely out
of Giro culation

ANDREW JACKSON AND FRANK. PIERCE.
General jackson was, if possible, says
the Journal of Commerce, better abused
man than President Pierce has been.-
Truth and justice will yet do for the latter
what they have done for the former. His
defamers will skulk away as General jack
sons do now and very likely will claim to
have been his friends. In our opinion,
President Pierce's administration has been
as honest and patriotic. and about as advan-
tageous to the pnblic interests, as General
Jackson's was. What one thing foreign or
domestic, has he undertaken, that he has
not accomplished and what one measure
of public policy has he accomplished, that
the nation, as whole, would wish to see
reversed !-Richmond Enquirer.

RIGHTING WRoNG.-The Know Moth
ings of North Carolina are very indignant
because the Legislature of that State have
blotted out the Whig preamble of 1876,
that implied condemnation of the Mexican
War, and threw the whole blame of that
war upon President James X. Polk. The
preamble which accompanied resolution
appropriating money for defraying the ex-
penses of the noble North Carolina volun-
teers, passed by the Legislature of 1876
was stain upon the fair character of the
State, and virtually impeaehed the gallant
spirits who volunteered in defence of their
country's honor, as going to fight wicked
and dishonorable war. 1t was due to the
State. to the noble volunteers, and to the
memory of James X. Polk, that so mon
strous an act of partizan prejudice should
be wiped from the Journals of the Legisla-
ture, as it has been done.-Richmond En-
quirer.
