Thomas Day, the author Of SANFORD

generations OF children have enjoyed
for its stories without bestowing a
thought on it's philosophy, was horn in
Wellclose Square in 174S. His father
held place in the custom-house, and
left him fortune of f1,200. He was
educated at the CharterhOuse and Ok
ford, and spent some time in France,
where he received the new philosophy
of education. Having resolved on mar
riage. he determined that his wife
should be modelled in accordance with
the new light. He therefore went to an
orphan asylum at Shrewsbury and
picked out a faxen-haired girl of
twelve, whom he named Sabrina Sid
neY, after the Severn and Algernon
Sidney, and then the founding hos
pital in London, where he selected
second. whom he called Lucretia. In
taking these girls he gave a written
pledge that within a year he would
place one of them with a respectable
tradesmsn, giving E100 to bind her APP

married or commenced business, in
either of which ease he would advance

set out for France, in order that in quiet

smallpox. and he had to nurse them

glad to retarn to London and get
Lucretia off his hands by apprenticing
her to a milliner on Ludgate hill. She
behaved well, and on her marriage to a
substantial linen-draper Day cheer

dowry of $500. Poor Sabrina
could b. no means qualify for Mr.. Day.
Against the sense of pain and danger no
discipline could fortify her. When Day
dropped melting sea.ing-wax on her
arms she fiinched, and when he fired
pistols at her garments she started and
screamed. When he told her secrets
she divulged them. He packed her off
TO an ordinary boarding-school, kept her
there for five years, allowed her $50 a

by the way, this reminds us of some

that time reporter for Washington
Journal, was sent to hold q interview
with the Senator upon an important
matter of state. The Senator, who had
no intention whatever OF being drawn
into conversation on that subject. met
Mr.. Lewsley with his accustomed grace,
and courteously veered the conversatio
into other channels. Somehow, for want
of another handy subject. the Senator
said something about boards. which led
to BARRIERS, and, of course. TO the gen
eral subject of shaving.

and then he went on with learned,
thoughtful and highly entertaining dis
QUESTION on the advantages, economic
and metaphysics, OF shaving oneself
rather than hiring barber TO do it

all the Senator said, fixed facts and

had come TO learn, arose to 60. There
was, or the reporter imagined there was,
a sort Of merry, triumphant twinkle in
Senator Ingalls, eye as he politely
bowed his caller from the room-a
twinkle which seemed TO say: Il have
made the young man really forget what
he came for.''
The Next morning Senator Ingalls,
was more or less Mortified at finding in
the local newspapers true report OF all
he had said, including an earnest rec
ommendation of a certain shaving soap.
which he unqualifiedly pronounced to
be the very best that could be had.
But the reporters vengence was not vet
satisfied He marked the article and
sent il TO the manufacturer Of the rec
commended soap. In fortnight the
newspapers, tie periodicals, and all the
many means employed by advertisers,
were brought into use. and Senator In
