Hired Girls.

The following scrap of philosophy,
morals, religion and good sense, as well
as good breeding, is well worthy of care
rul reading, attentive consideration and
practice. The idea which prevails among
a certain class of brainless snobs that a
"hlred girl' is the slave OF Ter employer
and not fit to set at the table with the
family, and suitable only as companion
tor the kitchen stove, and the pots and
kettles, begets feeling of social degra.
datlon which is often ruinous to this class
OF the laboring community and is destruc-
tive to that better sense of virtue and
equality which is the duty of all in supe-
rlor situations in life to cultivate in those
whose fortune is adverse to wealth and
ease. Labor is honorable as the employ
ed make it honoroblc. L. is Just as re-
spectacle to work in the kitchen as to
pump apiano'forte in the parlor, and it
is Just as honorableto dig bitches or plow
the fields as it is to puff the quality of
dry goods behind the counter or practice
any OF the many professions, and so soci-
ETY. will thus pronounce the verdict when
ever common sense, religion and truth
unite in harmonious action to stigmatize
the frppery of fools and judge men and
women by the standard of intellectual
and moral worth and not by dollars and
cents. 1t is convenient to be opulent and
wealthy, but disgraceful and criminal
when common sense and virtue are made
to yield obedience to "fools in vanished
gear" The scrap alluded to reads as
follows: ..
"Heads of families may contribute
much to the welfare and virtue of society
without going beyond their own threshold.
The domestic in their employ presents a
claim to kind considerations which too
many overlook. An eastern paper says:
Young women compelled to 60 out to
service, TO hire in other peoples families
to do housework, are too generally kept
at a distance. They are not permitted
to sit with the mistress or her children;
and what is too often, and too generally
the consequence? We are sociable be-
ings, and must have society; if we can.
not find good we are apt to take up with
bad, and the consequence often is degra-
dation and ruin. Why not permit your
hired girls, when work is over, to sit in
the same room with you and your child
rem! There they might learn what is
good and useful, and 60 into the world to
make virtuous wives and mothers, and
bless you for your kindness and consider
alton. A little culture and consideration
might, and no doubt would, save world
Of degradation, crime and misery. None
of us know what may be the future situ-
alton of our children. They too may at
some future day be apprentices and hired
domestics, and as we would they should
be treated. so should we treat lose whom
Misfortune or necessity has thrown into
'ur employ.

Inc Wisconsin Legislature nave form'
ally considered a proposition to abolish al
laws for the collection of debts. The
mover of the bill-Mr. Elmore-is a
great wag, as is evident by the following
extract from his speech upon that sub
ject:
The speaker proceeded to review the
present system Of collecting debts. 1t was
all humbug and a cheat, a matter ol
technicalities and legal shuifling. Law
yers gave advice in order to obtain fee
and encourage litigation. Judges made
blunders and mistakes. He had little ex.
perience in the law and that was rich
(Laughter.) He would give history of
it. The speaker then related how he had
purchased yoke Of oxen about fifteen
years ago-paiG fifty dollars for them
few days after the son of the man of
whom he bought the exen came to him
and said the oxen were his. He insisted
on having pay over again, and commenc-
ed suit before justice. The jury didn't
agree. Finally, through the blunders of
the Bushwood justice of the peace, the
case went a gainst him. He appealed it
to the Circuit Court in Milwaukee. There
l lost again, and said to my lawyer: Il
will give you ten dollars to quote Penn
sylvania law to Judge Miller, and have a
new trial ordered" (Great laughter J
He then took the ten dollars. and per-
formed the duty.
A new trial was then granted, and ven.
ue changed to Walworth county. Judge
Irwin was then the Judge. Any man
who wanted TO gain cause in this court
had either to 60 hunting with him and
let the Judge claim all the game that was
shot, or else pat his dog. Well. patted
the dog. (Laughter.) l fed the dog
with crackers. (Renewed Laughter -
The case was decided in my favor
When I heard the decision l thought to
myself the dog had served me long
enough, turned round, gave him kick
-Qaughter.) The yelp of the dog had
hardly subsidized ere l heard the Judge
say, "Mr. Clerk, the judgement is set a.
side. and new trial granted" (Great
Mr.. Speaker that kick cost
me 5000! (Convulsive laughter.) You
have no doubt seen suit in a Justices
Court in the country. There is time
spent by jurors and hangers on, besides
other costs, at least $50, beside the ILL.,
feelings and dissensions caused by it. 1t
is all cheat. The litigants had better
set down and play game Of old sledge
10 decide the case. 1t would be more
sure to set tie the disputejustly

Quick and Steady Milking.

A very successful dairyman writes to
the New England Farmer, that one of
the greatest essentials in the management
of cows is good milking:
Each cow should have a steady mil.
ker, be MIXED as fast as possible, and
all the milk drawn. I am satisfied that
there is loss of one-third in many
dairies, by the lazy, haphazard way in
which cows are MIXED. I have known
persons to sit-down in the milking yard
and go through with some long yarn. .and
be from ten to twenty minutes milking
one cow, when it should be done in less
than FIVE.

EgA London correspondent Of the
New York Post writes: Heenan is soon

and appears in London next week, and
may be assured of coming money by his

for another fight, but it is considered GER

it will not be permitted.

Japanese Mice.

While on board the Powhatan, one ol
the sailors, who did not 60 to Japan foi
nothing, exhibited to us sample Of Japa-
nese mice, which were of various colors
some pure white, others spotted. They
are perfectly docile, and may be handled
without being the least alarmed. 1t ap-
pears that In Japan mice are quite a do
mestic creature and perfectly tame; they
are entirely of a different nature from our
mice and are much smaller. In fact,
these little creatures may be considered
quite curiosity, as they can be kept in
open boxes without any fear of their run.

small holes in it, large enough to let them
pass through, which they did continually,
now and then catching hold Of each 9TH

running with such speed that it was i'm
possible to distinguish their heads from
their tails. In another corner was a
small box (inside Of the large one, the
lid of which had two holes in it. They
would enter this in one hole and pass out

Sing song of Charleston!
Bottle full of RYE
All the Douglas delegates
Knocked into opi!
For when the vote was opened
The South began to sing,
"Your little Squatter Sovereign
Shan't be our King"
Hi diddl,, diddle the Dred Scott riddle
The Delegates scatter like looms!
The little Dug swears to see the sport.
And the Southerners count their spoons!
There is little Senator
Who vast very wise
He jumped into a Convent on.
And scratched out both his eyes
And when he found his eyes were out,
With all his might and main,
He bolted off to Baltimore
