A WONDERFUL WoMAN.-All of us, or at
all events most of us, remember the female
soldier who lived to 100, and lies buried in
the Churchyard of st. Nichols, Brighton
But she had a contemporary no less remark
able than herself, indeed even more in her
personal character, though she fell short of
her years. What will our readers think of
Margaret Uch Evan, of Llanberris, who died
at the age of 90, toward the close of the last
century, when we tell them the following
story; Being particularly fond of the chase,
she kept great number of fox hounds, and
OF the various of dogs which are in favor of
the sporting world, and she is said-tell it
not In the Cath of Lord Fitzhardinge, pub.
llsh 1t. not in the streets of Assheton- Smith s
Askalon, for fear of awakening the dead
she is said to have killed more foxes in one
year than all the confederate hunts of Wales
and all the adjoining counties killed in ten
She rowed well. and at seventy she was the
best wrestler in all the country round and
yet, per contra, in proof of her feminine ac-
compllshments, we are bound to mention that
she could play on the fiddle and on the harp
of her country. Margaret was also an ex-
cellent carpenter and joiner, and a good
blacksmith, shoemaker and boatbuilder. To
the last she shod her own horses and made
her own shoes, forgetful of the old proverb
which says, Ne sutor altro crepidam; and
through the many years during which she
was under contract to convey the ore down
the lakes from the copper mine at Llanberris
she built her own boats. More wonderful
women than Margaret Uch Evan may have
lived but we, certainly, in the 1877 years of
our existence have not heard of them; and
we shall be rejoiced if any of our correspond
ents can help us to record the deeds of any
lady more worthy of the female fran
chise than she must have been.-THe Gen
tleman's Magazine.

bedroom, from which he had seen his father
drink, and was afterwards seized with con-
vulsions, which continued all day until death
ensued. The jury returned verdict that

The Origin of Sin.

Some maintain that sin is natural 10 the
human family-that it is born in every child,
and that it is the mission of life to eradicate
1T and thus become purified and fitted for a
higher state of existence hereafter. An incl
dent occurred in this city the other day which
does not sustain this doctrine but rather
shows that sin, sometimes, is the result Of
circumstances
The other day an interesting child-for she
was really no more-except that she was
precocious in wckedness, went into the
Working Women's Home, Franklin street.
when the following dialogue took place be-
tween her and one Of the Superintendents
Superintendent-Wh is your name?
Girl-Mary Thompson.
Superintendent-How old are you?
Mary-Nearly sixteen.
Superintendent-W Where, and with whom
do you live2
Mary-En Eldridge street, with my mother
Superintendent-Wha can we do for you !?
Mary-Get me some work, please.
superintendent have you been
workiLg2
Mary (hesitatingIy)- I'm concert saloon
Superintendent (astonished Where?
Aary-Corner of Chatham street and the
Bowery.
Superintendent-Th That's it, eh? Why did
you leave it?
MAXWELL, you see, got into row
there; two men came in one night, and
heard them say they were going to rob a
young man who was kind to me, when told
them would't let them, and then for spite
they said | stole money from them | was
taken to the Tombs, and the Judge. after
discharging me, sent me here to look for
work.
Superintendent-Whe were you before
going to the saloon?
Mary-In factory.
Superintendent-Why did yon leave it?
Mary--Because | only got So a week, and
my sister got the same, but it wasn't enough
to support US, and could make great
deal more as waiter girls.
Superintendent-Ho much were you paid
at the saloon?
Mary-Three dollars week and what we
could make.
Superintendent-W What do you mean by
I" what you could make ?"
MAXWELL you see, ma am, we were al
lowed five cents on every drink, and the
young men treated US, and when they gave
us dollar, if they were spunky and decent,
they would not take back the change; be-
sides, we got lots of jewelry, brooches, ear
rings, etc. (This was evident, for she wore
agreat deal.)
uperintendent--How much did you make
q week?
MAXWELL, from SIS to $lS, according
to trade. If it was good, we'd go up to $40,
and then again.we'd go down to SO.
Superintendent-Bu isn't it wicked?
Mary Hanging down her head IL suppose
so, ma am, but it's hard to be hungry.
Superintendent-Wou you like to leave
the saloon?
Mary-Yes ma am if l can make enough
to live upon and help my poor mother. My
sister is in the saloon yet.
The upshot was that Mary was sent to
work where she may make from $3 to 81 a
week.
