There are somo applications for advice, how,
ever. which the editor cannot, unaided. reply to-
and he is compelled to take the world into his
nsel,-meaning, by world, his snbscribers,-
and get their opinion upon the facts he submits,

give the answer which the editor could not, and
may come forward and say that he is the man
! for whom the young woman longs. Now, just
such state Of afTairs ia presented in the follow
ing letter. It is true that her spelling is not
quite what spelling should be but in this day OF

Now, anyone who wishes to give this young
lady any advice, can write to the address which
she gives. As for the editor, he declines doing
so until some points are made clear to him. Is
the young lady working for herself, or somebody
