WORKING Grm.s.--ITappy girls-who can
not love them! With cheek like the rose,
bright eyes and elastic step, how chccrfullv
they 60 to work. Our word for it, such
girls will make excellent wives. Blessed
indeed will men DC who secure such prizes.
Contrast those who do nothing but sigh all
day and live to follow the fashions; who
never earn the bread they eat or the shoes
they wear; who are languid and lazy from
one weeks end to another. Who but II
simpleton and popnjay would prefer one
Ot the latter, if he were looking for a com
panion? Give us the working girls. They
arc worth their weight in gold. You never
see them mincing along, or jumping a dozen
lcct to steer clear OF a spider or 2 fly. They
have iro aitectation, no silly airs about them
When they meet you, they speak without
putting on Il half dozen airs, or trying to
show off to better advantage, and you feel
as If you were talking to human being,
and not TO painted or fallen angel.
II girls knew how sadly they miss it while
they cndeayor to show Off their delicate
hands and unsoilcd skin, and put thou
sand airs, they would give worlds for the
situation Of the working ladies, who arc
above them in intelligence, in honor, in
everything, as the heavens are above the
earth.

Failure fsbc TTlrcc Hundred

1t is fact not generally known, and one
which should moderate little our trans
ports over the new-found pcrfections of oul
hitherto neglected rilcd guns, that the three
hundred pdundcr PARROTS have proved Il
failure. The Pittsburg Gazette has, from
time tc time, argued that, though far supcri
or to the monster smooth borcs. the LARGE
sizes OF Parrott's guns were essentially dc.
icCtiyc since the requisite strength for the
charge Of powder they should have. could
not be obtained by the plan (Which is all
there is of the Parrot gum of shrinking a
wrought iron band over the brccch of tho
cast iron gun; and that the only materials
that would DC found capable of bearing the
heavy strain required to develop the full
capacity of ritlcd guns, were wrought iron
or steel That lesson, too since the late
revolution in their department, the ordnance
officers have learnt.
Readers have doubtless noticed recent
dispatch stating that the gun which fired
Greek fire shells into Charleston. was IA two
hundred FOUNDER. Five of the PARROT ritled
three hundred Founders were sent to Gen.
Gilmore, and every one Of them burstcG-
all but one at the first trial OF course
they could be fixed as the DahlgTcn smooth
borcs were so long, with half charges 'el
powder but the Parrot guns have no need
OF such subtcrtugcs. Up to 2O0-poundcrs
they have proved success, it is no discredit
to their plan that, beyond that siyc, the strain
is too great for Il cast-iron barrel, no matter
how heavily reinforce with wrought-iron
band.
For the largest calibrcs, 1t now seems as
