more and more useful and necessary. Flannel

far the best practice is. to throw it off in bed,

Such persons as find flannel too irritating to
their skin may obyiatc this by having it lined
with thin muslin. The health offemaes would
most certainly be benefited by adopting, du-

of flannel. We especially recommend to then,
the use OF flannel drawers.

were employed by the family, and she was
even taken to some Of Our most noted ocui'St''

mont nroycd mavaling. Her eyes looked
healthy, were beautifully pcnsivc in their eX'
nrss;on. and seemed deep as her soul was pure
Int thew we're, nevertheless, to her almost
wholly useless.
Notwithstanding this rather melancholy
uhvscal defect, young man, who had Ion9
bccu devoted to her, offered her bis hand II
marriage. She tcmurred, and through an ex
cess Of affection, refused to bestow 1t upon th'
man who had long since won her heart, siatln!
that she never would censent to becom"
burtben upon the man she loved. For lon!
time he persisted in his suit, and at length
through his praises and sighs, made her be
lieye that life with her, even if she wer
wholly blind, were better than a Paradls
where she was not.
A month or two ago her resolution was re
scinded, and she became his wife ; and strang
as it may seem, from that day her e!yc-sst
