DOMESTIC SERVANTs.-The Frederick burg
Herald says 1t has been wisely suggested,
ne think, that some understanding should ex-
ist, and that it should be rigidly adhered to,
among the heads Of families in regard to hiring
servants. The free people seem to be so tickle
aud rowing in their disposition, that it is diff
cult to retain house servant for more than a
lew weeks, or at best, month. Let the rule
be established that no servant will be hired
unless he or she brings written voucher Of
character from his or her preceding employer
@his rule rigidIy adhered to would go far to-
wards abating the annoyance Of frequent

stranger TO gentleman in n ball
room, "who that lady is near the
second window-that very vain look
ing lady?''
"That is my sister, sir" replied the
person addressed, with very form
idable look.
"No, no, 7 dent mean her" said
the unfortunate interrogator, al mean
that ugly woman leaning against the
piano; there's about as much eX-
preston in her face as in bowl oi
bonny clabber."
THAT, sir, is my wife,
mo, no." gaspcd the miserable
stranger, the pcrspiration starting from
every pore. "Good gracious ] wish
I could make you understand me! l

pink silk, the one so GwTm homcly. /
should be afraid she would splinter n
looking glass by looking into it.

"That, sir" said the gentleman,

Revenge.

One of them found, one day, the little
daughter of his enemy i'm the wood.

home bleeding, whilst he, with brutal
JOY, shouted, II have had my re-

Years passed, and the little girl was
grown up to a woman, when, one day,
poor grey-hcaded beggar came to her
door, earnestly begging for food. The
young woman recognized him i'm
mediately as being the same horrible
man who had cut Off her fingers when
she was q child. She went into the
cottage instantly, and desired her
servant TO bring him bread and milk,
as much a. he wanted. She sat down
near him, and watched him while hc
ate. When he had finished, and WAS
ready to go, she pointed TO her hand
and said to him.

The poor man was quite perplexed
and confounded at this; for he did not
know that that little girl had become
q Christian, and had learnt the mean
ing OF that sweet verse, the last i'm the
twelfth chapter of the Epistle to tho
Romans.
Which revenge was the sweetest?
