The poor working girls in cities afford one
of the greatest subjects of phlanthropic science.
They toll and spin, and are arrayed, some OF
them, stability; if one of their number earns
s. IS per week. she pays, perhaps, "a % Tor
her board; and in short these work-a-day
fairies have the hardest share of the worst OF
all battles to women, that with poverty and
shame To strive patiently against slim wages,
mean lodgings, bad examples, and all the
while with a woman's instincts and SEN
sibilities keenly alive, requires quail
ties which scarcely belong to men {;
and perhaps the shrewdest observers OF the
case would be inclined to hint that, without
certain humble comforts of religion, and
womanly affections surmounting daily impurl-
ties of circumstance, our working classes on
the woman's side would have as little hope as
they sometimes have wages. 1t is a good
thought of The Christian Union to appeal
loudly at this time for the greatest want OF this
class of our populatiOn-decent homes at
decent prices, help to help themselves, and no
more.

That Sheep Husbandry IN the United Statee ought
to be extended, is manifest. Our people eat too
much Pork and too little Mutton. Fresh Pork can
be had only in the two last months Of each yearst
least very little is among rural population

early Autumn when fresh meat is otherwise unat-
