nearly my life, in hospital service am

dependent on my own labor for a

assistance my friends are always ready

dishwashing, general homework, or any
specialty-and take such wages as l
could earn, whether it was 81 a week or
so cents ; and no employer should find
me out of my place, wherever that was.
I should never be found in the parlor
when the kitchen was my sphere, and
should take pride in being a good
servant. Such being the standpoint
from which I view life, 1 cannot, of
course, feel sympathy with the fine
ladies who come, every day, robbing
me of my time and strength in listening
to their recitals of sentimental sorrows.

the first honest labor which presents

TREASURY TRANSFORMATION

The Washington correspondent o fthe
Cincinnati Gazette writes "Some
very amusing things have been
unearthed by the keen, answering as
siduity of the new Secretary of the
Treasury. Quite a number of supposed
young maidens have been developed
into matrons, with husbands either in
the department or in outside business.
One young girl mar led a devotee of
CrispiD, and retained her maiden lame
and position with the proviso that the
husband was to furnish the head of the
bureau and his family with the best
boots and shoes, made to order. An
other chief clerk obtained his annual
supply of groceries on the same princi-
pla of robbing Peter to pay Paul. A
messenger receives a compensation of
$1,000 per annum, and after the official
clock points its welcome finger at 3
p. m, the chairs are-prestO ! changed
into BARRIERS chairs, and the work of
shaving goes bravely IN. This enter
prising messenger runs q regular bar
ber's shop outside besides. A mar who
recently babe farewell to earthly snares
occupied some inconspicuous position
for thirty consecutive years. In the in
terim he had invested his accumulations
in a large house, which in time became
valuable from its situation He then
opened the house to accommodate
boarders, and it became the resort of a
very nice class OF people. The house
was handsomely and thoroughly fur
nished, and the value Of the entire
property must now be somewhere in the
vicinity of sec, 900 to 500, 000!
TIE SUGAR CROP SHORTENED BY
Frost.
A New Orleans exchange says: A
private letter from Lafourche to one of
of our largest houses, dated the Sd
inst, announces q freeze in the La
fourche and Terrebonne districts on
the night of Monday, the I'd. Grinding
has been arrested, and planters are
putting down their a in wind rows.
Around Raceland, and perhaps in the
whole tract from Napoleonville down to
Houma, the eyes have been killed half
way down the stock. This will, in
case of warm and damp weather, re-
duce the yield from Is to % per cent,
according to circumstances, and injure
tie quality of the sugar in even a
greater degree.
There is further news to the effect
that the same freeze has been felt in st.
Mary, though We scarcely think with
equal severity, the larger part of st.
Mary being protected on the north by
Grand Lake, and, therefore, much less
liable to injury from cold.
If the cold snap has been general,
however, as indeed seems possible, the
crop of the State will be cut short
5000 or 10000 hogsheads. We shall
doubtless have more specific and ex-
tended advices shortly.
