SMART YANKEE GIRL.-We relate q
true stery, which is gratifying instance oi
successful Yankee enterprise. A young
girl, belonging 10 a respectable family ia
reduced circumstances, four years ago
learned to operate sewing machines, and
then went out from this city to Peru to
teach the art to Spanish girls, and to es.
tabl'sh the business in that country: She
has enjoyed uniform good health, and has
realized from three to four thousand dollars
year. beyond hor expenses. About a
year ago, she married wealthy old Spaniard
who, dying, bequeathed to her fortune OF
eighty thousand dollars. and thus placed
hor in very comfortable and independent
circumstances. She now writes to urge
her relatives to emigrate to Peru and share
her good fortuno.--.Nsw5uryyor Herald.
