A NEW BRICK roR GARDEN WALLs.-Mr.
FOxlcy, Of Stony S.ratiOTd, has invented new
brick, ingeniously cOntriyed for avoiding the
necessity Of mailing for training trees 10 garden
walls The brick has q projecting bead In the
centre Of the lace, which is drilled with hOles so
rs % admit of the passage of piece yf string or
bass, with which the branch may be tied. One
advantage Of the bead Is, that II admits OF o ifee
circulation OF air between the pinnt and WALL
preventing the formation OI miidcW and rot and
the accumulation Of insects. The cost is SAID %
be little more than that Of M ordinary bnCk.

A pocket.b0ok containing fifteen banS-notes, OF
i00Of. each, was picked up IN the ltue dc CAS-
tigllOne, Paris, q few days ago, by the Wte OF
man employed a. the Etat. Major In the Place
Vmdome. A few moments after, as she turned
the corner OF the street into the Rue do Rivol,
she was arcOsted by q well-drcssed man. VINO
| asked her. with an air OF anxiety u she hau
| found pOcket.bOok which he had just lost, ana
N
nltcly, did not belong to himself. The woman
at once returned 10 him his property, when he
| gave her q franc expressing MS regret Una, VI
| was al the change he had upon him % offer ler
| as a reward. He, however, asked her Tor her
| address saving that he would call upon her. 10
Is TO be hoped that he viii not forget his promise
TRAvE1ING AssoCIArEs.-As 10 company, two
Is the very best travelling number. 10 IS good not
to be quite alone In case OF accident, even n the
accident be no worse than z fly in your eye.

three -Four do well together under many cir
cumstances, particularly II two rooms suffice.
-Four exactly ill hired caleche (such as you
would cross the Alps in by the carriage roads)
dividing the expense conveniently. Five IS avery
awkward figure. After four, II is not "the more
the merrier," but "the melanchOiCr;" fifth per-
son is always one too many But it is far better to
be alone than 70 travel in unCongenial, caprciOus
exacting, selfish, or uncertain-tempered company.
The choice Of ones travelling associates requires
great caution and consideration; for many and
many have started friends who have returned
quite the contrary.
EMPLOYMENT FOR women. N.-Hardressing and
cutting offer good maintenance 10 clever, in
dustrious women with capital. Halrdressing can
be learned very easily Us hairdressers are in the
habit of teaching ladies' maids for q premium.
| II is more difficult 10 learn haircutting, as men
are trying to keep this trade exclusively in their
own hands, and will not teach It. Several women,
| however. nave learned ana can teaCl IL n
| clever, quick woman might learn the art by
| having her own hair cut three or four times al
different shops, and going with her friends to sec
| their hair cut. We know ladies who much dis
| like having their hair dressed or cut by man
| and, If woman was 10 open o smart shop in
| good part Of London, and advertise, she woulC
| probably get much custom. The Society for the
| Employment of Women would probably recon-
mend her, and would DO glad 70 send her ap'
prentces. There are also, probably, open
ings in large country towns. One very re-
spectacle person has set up at StocSton-on
Tees, and is doing well, having employment
| enough for her two sisters as we'll a5 herself
She goes her rounds into the country, visitini
| smaller towns and gentlemen's houses. II woul
be necessary TO join wig and frizettc making, &c
to the hair-dressing, and also to sell combs
brushes, pomatum &c. We believe that wome
with capital might often obtain an entrance int
business by purchasing the goodwill and shop
q tradesman about TO retire. It would always !
absolutely necessary to serve for at least 81
months in the shop, rs assistant, before payin
! I the money, rs no one cOuld possibly know ho'
10 conduct business without experience; tn
| arrangement would, moreover, prevent deceptiO
! with regard TO the amount of business transacted
Surprise is often expressed that women, WhS
left unprovided for, do not more frequently entC
domestic service, and II is sometimes limited tina
since they do not choose TO become servants, the
cannot be in very great distress: the truth il
domestic service, like everything else, require
| special training, and can seldom be entered upo
after early youth.
The "SEvEN STARS. ."-Early in the days c
our childhood Wo learn one important fact, this
there is "man in the mOon;" and straightwa
| we proceed 10 ask our mother 4 number
| pointed questions about the matter. She sati;
| ties our youthful curiosity by telling rs that i
was placed there long, long ago, for stealing
| head of cabbage, and that he has ever since bee
| kept at hard labor, ''piling brush, or collectin
| branches of trees as they are trimmed off by tn
aXe-man, preparatory TO burning them ont OF th
way. And when We look az the moon, and see
dark figure upon its disc, somewhat resembling
in outline, the shape of o man, and near it a
additional dark spot, which might or might nc
| be pile of boughs, we 60 great deal furthC
than our mothers-we believe the story; ant
having believed 1t, we secretly resolve, in on
minds never TO commit THEFT, lest similar fat
should be ours. And thus the silly fable al ono
becomes an Important engine in forging an
forming the character OF the man.
The Indian mothers have q story somewhi
! | like that of the man in the MOON which the
tell TO their children rs our mothers tell q
story to us-with this difference, however the
believe the story themselves, while our mothe
| do not. Here il is.
"Very long ago seven little boys took It in
! | their heads 10 have feast after the manner
! their fathers, and they went TO their mothe
2 pray ing for permission. Their mothers refust
! them; after which they decided 10 rebel, aI
have the feast anyhow. They procured lit
Z white dog TO sacridce; and, having placed it upl
7 the fire, they commenced dancing around us tn
! had seen their fathers do on. mOmentous occ

. suddenly caught up by some invisible power, a.
9 | carried Off through the air. Their others hea
y their cries, and came forth from their lodge
, | only to see them mount higher and higher, un
, they took their place among the stars in the SIX
! to dance on for ever and ever"
. When the Indian mother tells this story, 5
