We know of no Illustration of the egotism
Of the boast-it is unparalleled and should
remain so. But the case Of the servant girl
who left employment in the country to enjoy
Il bit of metropolitan life, furnishes a very
fair counterpart to the Times, parading the
notorety Of its infamy, as something to be
proud of. Jane who went away plain and
vriuous country lass, came back to visit her
old mistress in an agony of crinoline and
vul gar jewelry and decorations. "Bless me
Jane" said her old employer, '"wbere did
you get all those fine clothes?" LA, Misses"
replied Jane, with selfsatistied smile,
