Some years since a young lady remark

placed at a young ladies' boarding school
in the neighbdrhood of Boston.. Her un
affected manner and sprightliness won the

who were full of their kind awes; until
one day. they inquired the occupations of
their fathers. Our young friend perceiving
the drift of their inquiries, gave them to
understand that her father was a shoe.
maker; 'when many of them were struck
with horror at her vulgar origin, and a
change took place in their conduct to
ward her. She. however, though fully
understanding them, remained quiet.
After a' while the father of the young
lady visited the school. As he was &good
looking man, and as they observed the

great deference and respect, the scholars
were led to inquire of their instructress
who he was and what was his business;
and on being told that he was the father of
Miss H., and that he was a tnimber of
Congress, they were filled with amazement,
and immediately made the Attempt to re

Avoid Slang Words
There is no wit. says the author of the
Behavior Book, in a lady to say "snooze"
instead of a nap; in calling pantaloons
"pants" or gentlemen "gents ;" in saying
of a man whose dress is old that he looks
"seedy ;" and, in alluding to an amusing
anecdote or, a diverting incident, to say
that it is "rich." All slang words are de
testnble from the lips of ladies. We are
always sorry to hear a young lady use
such a word as "polkipg," when she tells
,of her having engaged in a certain dance,
too fashionable not long since, but happily
now going-out and almost banished from
the best society. To her honor be it re
membered Queen Victoria has prohibited
the polka being , danced in her presence.—
How can a genteel girl bring herself to
say. "Last night I was pelting with Mr.
Bell," or "Mr. Cope came and asked me
to polk with . him. Its, course and, ill.
sounding name is worthy of the dance.,,
