FRANKLIN ASKING FOR WoRK.-When q
youth, Franklin went to London, entered
printing Office, and inquired if he could get
employment.
'.Where are you from ?" asked the fore
man.
"America,p was thereby.
9a"Ah, said the foreman, ''from Americal
A lad from America seeking employment

Franklin stepped up to one of the cases,
and in very brief space of time set up the
following passage from the first chapter Oh
John I: . t'@
"Nathaniel saith unto him, can any good
thing come out of Nazareth /? Philip saith
unto him, come and see."
1t was done so quickly, so accurately,
and contained delicate reproof so appro-
pirate and powerful, that it at once gave
him character and standing with all in the
Office. saa

Goyernment Farms in Maryland,

The lands taken possession of by the
Government as farms forothe freedmen in
st. Mary's county, in this State, constitute
some thirty thousand acres, on the Patux-
ent, which belonged to Col. Sothoron and
Joseph Forrest. They are titled by some
seven or eight hundred freedmen, in Gov
ernment employ-the whole under charge
of Lieut. E. F.. O'Brieu, as superintendent
for the bureau of refugees, freedmen and
abandoned lands. Twenty-Five hundred
acres of rich land are now under cultlva-
tion. mostly in corn and tobacco, and the
crops promise we'll. The feld-hand receives
go per month, while the "gangsman, o
colored man at the head of 25 or 30 others,
gets SIS. The dependents, or those who
are unable to perform any labor, receive
their rations and clothing, the children De-
inc sent to school to teacher engaged for
the purpose. Delinquencies in labor are
punished by deductions from wages, and
Strict discipline is enforced.

The FUTURE OF GEoRG1A.-A private let
ter received in this city from a gentleman
in Savannah says he is strongly of opinion
that few years will disclose wonderful
rnd profitable change in the condition,
both temporal and spiritual, of that part
OF the country. Georgia resources are but
beginning to be developed not the three
hundredth part of her soil has been titled.
She has the finest yellow pine timber in
the country. Her mineral wealth is hardly
touched. Iron and bituninous coal abound;
copper, lead and silver and gold are found.
War has done much towards breaking up
the supineness of a large portion of her
people, Good farming can take from two
to three crops off the same land the same
season, with less labor thani it costs to pro-
duce one in the North. Land is bought at
from So to $25 per acre, and large tracts
at lower prices. White marble of fine quail
ity is abundant slate equal to that Of
Wales. Many of Sherman's army while in
Georgia, expressed determination to re-
turn and settle in it. aaa

HOME BRIGHT AND PLEAsNT.

More than building showy mansions E.
More than dress and fine array
More than domes and lofty steeples-
More than station, power and sway;
Make your home both neat and tasteful,
Bright and pleasant, always fair;
Where each heart shall rest contented,
Grateful for each beauty there.
More than lofty, swelling titles tt a
More than Fashions Turing glare 9af
More than Mamm0n'S gilded honors-- ta
More than thought can well compare;
See that home is made attractive
By surroundings pure and bright 'fi
Shrubs. arranged with taste and order,
Flowers, with all their sweet delight. sf
Seek to make your home most lovely,
Let it be smiling spot,
Where, in sweet contentment resting, .ii-'
Care and sorrow are forgot;
When flowers and trees are waving, qiee rrf
Birds will sing their sweetest song tt..
Where the purest thoughts will linger,
Confidence and love belong.
Make your home q little Eden, u1A ec
Initiate her smiling bowers; ra t5afe ~
Let neat and smiling cottage ~ -l.,,.
Stand among bright trees and flowers.
There, what fragrance and what brightness
Win each blooming rose displayl
Here, a simple wheel arbor m .rfe1
Brightens through each summer day.
There each heart will rest contented,
Seldom wishing e'er to roam
Or, if roaming, still will cherish
Mem'ries of that pleasant home. a.f
Such home makes man the better; M
Sweet and lasting its control
Home, with bright and pure surroundings,
Leaves its impress on the soul. st41H

A Coop ONE.-The following is reported
as having happened in Bristol county:
A witty clergyman, accosted by an old
acquaintance Of the name of Cobb, replied:
II don't know you sir"
"My name is Cobb" rejoined the man,
who was about half seas over.
"Ah, sir" replied the clergyman, "you
have so much of the corn on you that did
not see the cob"

Occupation Of women in England.

"But it must be granted, that, if the en-
ployments to which American women are
compelled to resort are often severe, and
less remunerative than they ought to be,
they are by no means so unsuited to thesex
as some which women are forced into in
other countries. Only few years ago many
thousands of females were working under
ground in the English coal-mines. When
laws were enacted to abolish this unsuita-
bic employment, they still continued to work
at the mouth of the mine, and are thus en-
ployed at this moment. They labor in the
coke-works and coal-pits they receive the
ores at the pits mouth, and dress and sort
them.
$50 far exceeding masculine strength
and endurance are the tasks imposed on
thousands of English dairy-women, that
they constitute special class of patients
with the medical faculty,-pining and per-
ishing under maladies arising entirely from
Over-fatigue and insufficient rest.
"There are multitudes Of women in Liv-
erpool who work daily on the farms around
that city They walk four or FIVE miles to
the scene of their toll, where they are re-
quired to be by six in the summer months
and seven in the winter. They work all
day at the seyerest agricultural labor, WELD
ing heavy, clumsy hoe, digging potatoes,
grubbing up stones from the soil, STOPPING
on the ground in wedding, and compelled
even to the unfeminine and offensive en-
ployment of spreading manure. For aday's
work at what men alone should be required
to do, they receive but shilling! Then,
worn out with fatigue, having eaten little
more than the crust they brought with them
for what more can be afforded by one who
earns only a shilling a day ?-they drag
themselves back at nightfall over the in
creasingly weary miles which they traversed
in the morning. What comforts can fall
to the lot OF such? What domestic life
must such unhappy creatures lead
"There are yet others, in that land which
boasts of its high civilization, who live by
carrying to the city immense loads of sand
for sixpence day,-harder work than carr
rying hod. Other women may be daily
seen collecting fresh manure along the
streets and docks of Liverpool. aaas3uiI
In certain rooms of the great English
cotton-mills, the high, temperature main
tanned there often compels the women to
work in half-naked condition. This con-
stant exposure of,one half the body speed
lily destroys all feminine modesty. Added
to this is an extreme, but unavoidable, filth
mess of person. These poor creatures part
with their health almost as quickly as with
their modesty They become hollow-cheek-
ed and pale, while their coarse laugh and
gestures indicate deep demoralization."--
