few years since wives little better than slaves,
while 10. day wealth and science vie with each

hitherto cursed her existence are by the use OF Dr.

DR.. Allen, the Superintendent of the Maine In
dustria School for Girls, at lallowel, writes us
According to present indications, this institution
is likely to be kept full. Vacancies that occur are
very promptly supplied good homes are Offered
for the girls as fast they fitted to leave the
school, Five girls have been sent to homes with
in the last two months. A few days since, gen.
lady of the society of Friends called at the
school, and selected the elder of two little sisters,
and took her TO her home. The next mail brought
letter in which the kind lady said that "oI reach
ing home, she felt overwhelmed, by a sense of the
responsibility she had assumed in taking charge of
so young girl and she had concluded to apply
an antidote in the shape of the younger sister. "
This is a beautiful illustration of the Homeopathic
principle, similia similibus curantur. We hope
the good lady will be abundanty rewarded; and
that the little girls will prove blessing to her.
Persons interested in placing girl, in the school
will do well TO make application promptly. Their
turn will come in due time.
