Puradh.dquiligg the misery of the unfortunate
work-women. The follouring communication has

It was accompanied by a notel.lctailing 'the equal
misery . ef.tlin haplers men-about-town, who have
lit a shift to ping about, but supply its place by a
: inint or "(dicky;" which is described as a specie.SW
linen breast-plate tied on with. strings ;`. and with
lthe aid of a waistcoat, calculated to deceive the eye
of the most wary/into a belief that the wearer is, en
. &hied to go the entire corazza. 3 •

Stond.q. gent in ungentle attire,
For lever a shirt he had.,

'Tis fine to be a'swell, •,

Of having a dicky to wash I
Oh.! tnen that admire my air. -

it is not ashirt that r wear,
But a dicky tied on with a string.

After the Meeting had been called to order, one
-of the most . - respectatae citizens of the borimigh

•for the-ensuing year 11n thought it-was not best
• to get up an. excitement, by refusing to grant li
censes. They had better license good men and,
_let them sell. The proposition seemed to meet

a way to get along quietly, and one and then an
other, in turn expressed a hope that such a course
would 1 ;9,0400- The . Prudent was'about to
'Fa the luesticin to the 'meeting, when, an object
rose in a distant part's& the hailing, and •all eyes
were - instantly turned in that direction. It was

AWe utterly repudiate, as unniorthy, notsof free

theie is to be an education for the poor, as such.
Has God Provided.for the poor, a coarser earth, a
thinner ay; a paler sky ? Does not the n•.rious

sense of all the freshness, verdure, fragrance,.mel

sons of Kings ? Or is it 'on the niimi that God
has stamped,the imprint of a baserqirth,-so that,
the poor man's child •,knows, with an inborn„cer
.tainty, that his liat is to.craikl, not climb ?
• It is not so. God has not done it. Man .can

It heeds no bound of time, or, place, of rank or
circumstance: It asks but freedom. It requires
'but light., 'lt is heaven horn, and it inspires to

the f beginning is onc-half. - Who does
not know the value to a Community of a plentiful
supply of the pure element of water. And infi
nitely more than this, is the' instruction of 'the
