unthinking to the state of old
maidhood. Are we far wrong in
referring to this dread Of remain
ing unmarried the numerous de-
vices ofvanity, the flirting, dress
ing and visiting which retard the
growth Of many a rational brain,
and cause the fathers of gay, ex-
pensive daughters to sigh over
their rapidly diminishing means,
and half regret the day when
they rashly took upou themselves
the cares, and risk, and burden of
a family? We know we are not.
When old maids shall be invariah-
ly treated with the respect and
consideration which are their due
when the last joke at their ex-
pense shall have vanished into
the Lethe Of forgotten absurd
ities-then will misunderstanding
be at its last gasp, and matrimony
again be sacred thing.

The Wages Of servants.
From Progress.

rum iioGItoS.
In 1870 there were LOIS. 900
domestic servants in the country:
at this time there are undoubted-
ly | 100000. Most of them have
fathers, brothers and other rela-
tives to whom there earnings are
of Importance. The wages of
servant girls in Liverpool average
S6.6S per month; in Marseilles,
1918; in = hi q delphia, $l4.
Wages of clerks in Liverpool av-
erage 50; in Philadelphia, $40.
The consular report indicates that
the average paid to all servants of
this class in England is abont
81 81, in France about Sc 81, and
in this country, while the wages
are somewhat lower than at Phil
adelphia or in other large cities,
the average is at least $l5. If
we suppose that there are now
100000 employed in this coun-
try, their wages are about $216,-
100000. At the English rate of
wages these same people would
earn about $113,0OO,OOO at the
French rate of wages these same
people would earn about 500, 00O,-
600.
