esHE WORKS FOR A LIVING. ;

Commend US 10 the girl of whom it is suoer
ingly said, sshe works for living !" in her we
are always sure to fnd the elements of a true
woman-a real lady. True, we are not pre-
pared to see q miucng step, naughty lip, a
fashionable dress, or hear a string of splendid
nonsense about The balls and young men, the
nea novels and their next party--no no but
we are prepared TO hear the sound words of
good sense, language becoming woman, neat
dress, mild brown, and to witness movements
that would not disgrace an angel.
You who are looking for wives and compan-
ions, turn from the fashionable, lazy, naughty
girls, and select one from those who work for
living, and never-our word for twill you
repent your choice You want substantial
friend, and not doll help>mate, and not a
help eat; a counsellor, and not simpletou.--
You may not be able to carry piano into your
house, but you can buy spinning wheel or a
set of knitting needles. If you cannot buy a
ticket for the bail, you can visit some afflicted
neighbor
Be careful, then, when you look for eom2au-
ions, and when you choose. We know many a
foolish man, who, Instead of choosing an in
dustrlous anu prudent woman for a wife, took
one from the fashionable stock, and is now
lamentiug his folly in dust and ashes. Heran
into the fire with his eyes wide open, and who
bat himself is to blame
The time was when the ladies went visit
iug and took their work with them. This is
the reason why We had such excellent mothers.
How singular would gay woman look in a
fashionable circle darning her fathers stock.
Jugs, or carding wool to spin Would not
her companions laugh at her? And yet such
woman would be q prize TO somebody

An Arkansas Traveller.

A contributor TO the SPIRIT Of the Times,
thus describes scene at the Anthony House in
Little Rock, Arkansas
.sLate one bitter cold nightin December, some
eight or Line years ago, L. came into the bar
room as usual, to take bis part 10 whatever was
going on. For some reason the crowd had dis
persed sooner than was customary, and but two
or three Of the townsfolks were there, together
with stranger, who had arrived half bour
or longer before, and who, tired, wet and muddy
from long Arkansas stage ride, his legs ex-
tended and shoes off, was eOnsoling himself with
two chairs aud nap opposite the centre of toe
blazing log fire. Any one who has travelled
until 10 O'Clock, in a rough wiuter night, over
an Arkansas road, can appreciate the comfort
of the fruition before that fire place.
The dropsy example of the stranger bad its
effect on the others, aud L., who took seat 10
the corner, for lack of conversation, was re-
duced 10 the poker for amusement He poked
the fire for while, until it got red hot, and
becoming dsgusted, was about to drop it and
retire, when be discovered the great toe of the
strangers foot protruding through belle il one
of his socks.
Here was relief to l.. He placed the
glowing POKER WiJnln f00t OF the melancholy
sleeper's toe, aud began slowly to lessen the
distance between them; one by one, the Others.
as they caught the joke, began to open their
eyes, aud being awakened. mouths expanded
into grins, and grins INTO suppressed giggles-
aud one incontineut fellows into broad laugh.
Closer and closer the red>hos poker neared to-
wards the unfortunate zoe The heat caused
the sleeper restlessly to move his hands. L..
was just about to apply the poker, when sound
of click click arrested his attention, He
looked at the strangcr-the latter, with one
eye apeF. had been watching bis proceedings,
and silently brought a pistol to bear upon L.
In a voice just audible, he muttered in tone
of great determination.
ssJest burn it. Burn 1T! Jest burn it, and
III be id if don'tsti you up with ten thou
sand hot pokers in two seconds"
L. laid down the poker instanter, and re-
marked:
''Sranger, let's taks drinki--in fact, gen
tIemen, all of you"
l.. afterwards said they were the cheapest
drinks he ever bought.

The Panic and the Southern trade

The Baltimore Sun in announcing the sus-
pension of specie payments by the Baltimore
Benks, in rather exultiug spirit, says:
"Those who have heretofore derided the
South, and treated lightly both the provocation
20 which il has been exposed aud Its results,
will realize the fact that the mere suspension OF
trade with the North and the concentration By
the South of her interests within her own terri
tory, has caused already very serious embar-
rassment in the monetary affairs of the North.
These indications prove that the strength is
with the South and III her resources: and iden-
tilted with the South the interests of our citl-
gems will be secure, and our position at once
honored and prosperous"
If this panic is to be attributed exclusively
to the power which the South wlelds In the
business and financial circles, it s somewhat
remarkable that its own people are compelled
to bear the brunt of the inflction. The South
eru cities, including Baltimore, Richmond ana
Charleston, we're the frst to yield to the pres
sure, and If we may rely on the statements OF
their own citizens, and suffering intensely from
the spauic'' which it has created. Now IT the
withdrawal of Southern trade from toe North
has anything to do with the condition of affairs
according to any other mode Of reasoning than
that adopted By the secession parties, the South
ern commercial centres would prosper at the
expense Of those prescribed at the North That
the suspension is only precautionary measure
on the part of the Northern mopied institutions
is rendered evident BY the fact that their credit
has not been impaired in the least BY the pro-
ceeding. On the other hand. the Southern
| bank issues are at fearful discount. aud ln
some instances are not received on any terms.
Iustead of these indications proving the
strength of the resources of the South, they
clearly show it's inherent weakness and its alb
gclate dependence or the Northern section of
the aoufederacy. If in their blind intatuation
they could be reached by reason or sensible
argument, these contemners of the Uuion might
learn useful lesson from the state of affairs
around them, and finally become convinced tha:
