A young man who was paying special at
tcntion to young lady, met with the follow
ing incident during one of his visits
Being invited into the parlor to await the
lady's appearance. he entertained himself as
best he might fer some time, and was becom-
ing weary, when little girl about five years
old slipped in and began a conversation with
him.
IL can always tell, said she, "when you
are coming to our house."
"You can ?' he replied, and how do you
tell it?"
why, when you are a going to be here,
sister begins to sing and get good; and she
gives me cake, and pie, and anything | want /;
and she sings so sweetly when you are here,
and when speak to her she smiles so pleas
antly | wish you would stay here all the
while then l would have good time. But
when you 20 off, sister is not good. She gets
mad, and if ask her for anything she slaps
and bangs me about, and is as ill-natured as
she can be-"
This was poser to the young man. a." Fools
and children tell the TRUTH" quoted he, and
taking his bat he left and returned no more.

We take the following passage from the
" Personal Recollections of Charlotte Eliza

etc.
pray what are you going te do with the
child ?"
"Going to fit her with pair of stays"
" For what purpose ~
TO improve her figure, No young lady
can grow up without them
81 beg your pardon; young gentlemen
grow up very well without them, and SO can
young ladies"
"0h you are mistaken, See what a stoop
she has already! Depend upon it, that girl
will both be a dwarf and a cripple, if we
don't put her into stays"
"My child may be cripple, ma'am, if
such is Gods will but she shall be one of his
making, not ours"
As a consequence of the fathers obstnacy,
and ignorance of what is requisite to make a
lady, his daughter grew up without head
aches, dyspepsia, and other lady-like mala-
dies.
