A Hint for the Girls.

A wood-engraver, being asked why
he did not empty women, replied: al
have employed women very often, and
wish | could feel more encouraged.
But the truth is that when a young
man comes 10 me and begins his work,
he feels that it is his liIe's business.
He is to cut his fortune ont Of the little
blocks before him. Wife, family,
home, happiness, all are 20 be carved
out by his own hand, and he settles
steadily aud earnestly TO his labor de-
termined TO master it, and with every
incitement squirting him on. He can
not mIrry until he knows his trade. 1t
is exactly the other way with the girl.
She may be as poor as the boy, and rs
wholly dependent upon herself for a
living, bat she feels that she will prob
ably marry by aud by, and then she will
have to give up wood engraving. So
she goes on listlessly; she has no ambi-
tion to excel; she does not feel that al
her happiness depends on il. She
will marry and then her husband 5
wages will support her She may not
say so, but she thinks so, and it spoils
her work.
4 llt NOIlIlidllN lilu'At bN AuN7 ENuAAN~
man doubtless has much truth in il.
But as the world seems to be At present
constituted, the cause of II should not
have much weight with girls who sup
port themselves. The chances OF a
woman being obliged to rely on her
own resources for support, even after
marriage, are sufficiently uliIncrous to
justify any one in perfecling herself in
whatever branch of business or trade
she may be employed. Not 10 speak
OF the widows, who are left with chill
dren depending on them for support,
there are numbers of women who assist
in the family finances, not by atten-
tion to home affairs, (Which is earning
living justas surely) but in other ways,
and who are obliged TO do so.
The advice is often given to a young
man TO learn a trade, not that he should
feel obliged TO follow ii all his life but
that it is a good thing to fall back on.
Now why, with so many chances OF a
woman finding it necessary to fall back
on something, should she not be pro
vided with that something's To he
sure, one is apt to be perp 'exed by the
multiplicity OF advice given AS 10 the
education of girls. We are told that
half the unhappy homes are caused by
the limited knowledge of housekeeping
possessed by those who take charge oi
them; that half the children born into
the world die through the ignorance OF
their mothers, and that II girls are 10 be
married they must be taught the things
which il is necessary for them TO know.
At the same time young girls are urged
not TO make marriage the chief aim Of
/ their existence. IL sometimes seems as
! il 1t would be an excellent thing TO re-

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Carlyle was sometimes generous TO
poor authors whom he thought deserv-
ing.

of readings on English literature in

mands Of the kind he has but one reply

wise beyond his generation.
The success OF Mary Anderson,
who became popular star immediate
ly on adopting the stage, has melted
two other Louisville young women TO
attempt the same feat. They are Miss
Fetter and Miss Dickson, and each is
now on trial Western tour. IL is said
that half the girls in Louisville are
stage struck.
-Suppe, the operate composer, is
very fond of death sublime, and his
liveliest music is said to have been writ

"A recent London dispatch says:
"Since the publication of tho Remi-

Edwin Booths First Appearance on
the Stage.


Edwin Booths first appearance on the
regular stage was made September 10,
1872 at the Boston Museum. in the
little part of nessil in Cibber' version
OF "Richard Ill" Junius Brutus
Booth, his father--the rival Of Edmund
Kean, and one Of the greatest tragedi-
ans that ever lived was then keeping
an engagement at tho Museum, and
Edwin was in Attendance on him as
dresser Tressil had been east TO the
promptor Of the theater; but it chanced
that this person wished to avoid the
duty Of acuing it, and that he succeed
ed in persuading Edwin to undertake
IT, This arrangement was made with
out the elder Booths knowledge, and
he only became aware of il by reading
in the play-bill the announcement of
his sons first appearance duly under
lined "Foolm was all he said when
he read this announcement; and this re-
mark was not understood TO signify en-
eouragement. When the night came,
and Edwin had dressed his father for
Gloster, and himself for Tressil, the &C.
centric pareut-who. beneath an out
ward aspect of indifference. loved this
son with the fondest aifection--took n
chair, lit cigar, and, viewing the youth
with n critical eye, made this inquiry,
"Do you know that you are supposed to
have been riding hard and farP'
" Yes, sir"
"Where are your spurs?'
4" | haven't any,
"Take mine holding out one
booted leg.
The boy took the spurs, and went on
for his little scene with King Henry
vi. When he returned, HIS father was
still sitting negligently in the chair,
and smoking the cigar. "GNe me my
spurs" he said, again holding out his
leg; and this was all the comment that
Edwin Booths first professional ap-
poarance ever elected from the parent
whom he idolized. He learned sub
seqently, though, that his father had
I been down mt the wing, and had
| watched this first effort with evident
interest and satisfaction, and then
/ hasteued back to his nonchalant pose
in the dressing-room. There never,

vive the old science Of astrology and
have horoscope cast for each girl ut
her birth ii she was destined to marry
young, she might devote all her time to
domestic duties and learning house
keeping; il not, she could tnrn her at
tention to something which would

this is not practicable, we must look
for some other way out of the difficulty.

IN my life tisat very large number Of
women, whether married or not, have
had to earn their own living at some
time in their lives, and | am going to
provide my daughter with some way of
doing it if necessary If every woman
who begins wood engraving or any
other business would realize that it is
not simply TO pass away a few years
that she is working, but that at some
time in the future not only her comfort,
but her very livelihood, may depend on
her becoming an expert, employers
would not say; "She has no ambition

cupation after laying it aside for some
years, there is no time TO be lost in
preparation. To be able TO command
living wages, she must be acquainted
with something more than the rudiments
of business.
There is another reason why women
should not be satisfied with moderate
degree of proficiency. Every occasion
for such remarks as those OF the gentle
man quoted above lowers the value of
woman's work. Knowing that as a
rule, women do not take pains to excel
in anything, employers are slow TO be-
lieve in the possibility of any one being
competent to take a higherpositiont than
that usually held by them. Thus, even

household affairs, house. keeping is q

comfortable support for the young girl.

second becomes necessary the American

receiving invitations with request that
they "bring ladies'" They are like or

want girls that can wait on the table,
Who can smile us into an appetite when

will make the boarders regular at their
meals We want girls for sweethearts,
so that when we get an arm shot OF. or
