The Ideal "Girl" Realised.

It may bo taken as a sign of the times and the beginrrng of a reaction in tho ciy for educatiLf! tho masfpa, when a lady .can advertise for u servant woman and receive two replies from New England girls of excellent mental attainments. One of these girls frankly told this lady she longed for a q liet homp, and was prepared to work hard to keep a roof over her head. She was refined and well educated, ooming of an excellent family in Maine ; she had tried to earn & living by teaohing musio and singing in ohuroh ; but the atrain on her nerves to live decently conld not be ,borne longer, and now ehe determined to enter the Eervice of a family, and do her duty there in a self-respecting manner. After some questioning as to the privileges to be expected, she replied that she desired employment;, but as she could not associate with other servants us friends, she claimed only the customary " day out," and to go to churoh on Sunday afternoon. The young lady was immediately engaged, and the good fortune of the bargain is mutual up to this date. A home rather than servitude has been secured, and the family already feels it possesses & trusty, conscientious friend in the "household," who is a thorough lady, though she wears a white cap and apron, and works with perfeot understanding of her many duties.— Boston Beacon,
