" She Works for a Living.''

Commend us to the girl of whom it
is sneeringly said, "She works for u
living" In her we are always sure to
find the elements Of a true woman-a
real lady. True, we are not prepared
to see a mincing step, naughty lip, a
fashionable dress, or hear splendid
string of nonsense about balls and
young men, or the new and the next
party-no, no; but we are prepared to
hear the sound words Of good sense,
language becoming a woman a neat
dress, a mild brow, and to witness
movements that would not disgrace an
angel
You who are looking for wives and
companions, turn from the fashionable,
naughty girls, and select one Of those
who work for living, and never-our
word for twill you repent your
choice. You want substantial friend,
and not help to eat-a counselor, and
not simpleton. You may not be able
to carry piano into your house, but
you can buy a sewing machine Oh set
OF knitting-needles. If you can not
purchase every new novel, you may be
able to take some valuable paper. If
you cannot buy a ticket for the ball,
you can visit some afflicted neighbor.
Be careful, then, when you look for
companion and whom you choose.
We know many a foolish man who, in
stead Of selecting an industrious and
prudent woman for wife, took one
from the fashionable stock, and is now
lamenting his folly in dust and ashes.
He ran into the fire with his eyes wide
open, and who but himself is to blame
for it ~2tE = s#% -, e.1 '':''

Carlyle on Deeds and Words,

The spoken word, the written poem,
is said to be an epitome Of the man :;
how much more the wor K done
Whatsoever Of morality and of intelli-
gence; what Of patience, perseverance,
talthtulness; of method, insight, inge-
nuity, energy; in a word, whatsoever
Of strength the man had will lie written
in work he does. Great honor to
him whose epic is melodious hexame-
tor Iliad. But still greater honor if
his epic be mighty empire slowly
built together, a mighty series of heroic
deeds, a mighty conquest over chaos.
There is no mistaking this latter epic.
Deeds are greater than words. Deeds
have such life, mute but undeniable,
and as living trees, and fruit trees do ;
they people the vacuity Of time, and
make it green and worthy.

PERSONAL CLEANLINESS is one Of
what Aristotle calls the half virtues.
and is recommended for the three fol-
lowing considerations First as mark
Of politeness secondly, as it produces
love ; and thirdly, as it bears analogy to
purity Of mind. In eastern climates, it
is enforced in both the Jewish and Mo-
hammedan law, as part of their religious
observances. The regulations prescribed
in Leviticus and Deuteronomy are very
explicit on this point; and we learn,
that Mahomet used to enjoin his follow
ers to wash the face, neck, hands, and
arms before each prayer. Now, as their
prayers are repeated five times daily,
they are bound to perform their ablu-
tions as often.
Besides these, there are others, ad-
apted to particular states and exigencies,
which are eminently conducive to indi-
vidual comfort and health. When the
pilgrims to Mecca cannot we'll procure
water in the deserts of Arabia, they still
hold in mind the precepts of their Ko-
ran, and rub the parts, above mentioned,
