" SHE WORKS FOR A LIVING."

Commend us to the girl of whom it is sneeringly said " she works for a living;" in her we are sure to find the elements of a true woman — a real lady. True we are not prepared to see a mincing step, a haughty lip, a fashionable dress, or hear a string of splendid nonsense about the balls and young men, the new novels and the next party — no, no, but we are prepared to hear the sound words of good sense, language becoming woman, a neat dress, mild brow, and to witness movements that would not disgrace an angel. You who are looking for wives and companions, turn from the fashionable, lazy, and haughty girls and select one from those who work for a living, and never — our word for it, will you repent your choice. You want a subtantial friend, and not a help-eat — a counsellor, and not. a simpleton. You may not be able to carry a piano into your house, but yon can buy a Bpinningwheel or a set of knitting needles. If you cannot purchase every new novel, you may be able, to take some valuable paper. If you cannot buy a ticket for the ball, yon can visit some afflicted neighbour. Be careful, then, when you look for companions, and when you choose. We know many a foolish man, who, instead of choosing .an industrious and prudent woman for a wife, took one from the fashionable stock, and is now lamenting his folly in dust and ashes. He ran into the fire with his eyes wide open, and who but himself is to blame? The time was when the ladies went visiting and took their work with them This is the reason why we had such excellent mothers.

"Ah!" responded his companion, "you should have remembered the whole of tho scriptural injunction, that we should both watch and pray, for, ye see, ye was prayin', but ye wisna watchin'."
