[CORRECT PRINCIPLES-SUPPORTED BY TRUTH.] MISCELLANEOUS. NEW HOUSE-KEEPERS AND IRISH GIRLS. The following amusing extracts are from a new book, lately published by Ca rey & Hart, of Philadelphia, entitled "The Greatest Plague of Life, or the Ad ventures of a Lady in Search of a Good Servant." Procuring a "help" seems to be the 'greatest difficulty experienced by young house-keepers, and these difficul ties are probably much increased by the manner which ia'often assumed towards those whose hard fortune it is to serve in such a capacity. This we should judge to be especialy true of the writer of these adventures. In the passages below, the authoress tells the severe luck she had with an Irish girl : "As for the matter of that, Norah's potatoes, too, I'm sure I could'nt see any thing so wonderful about them.— But, of course, Mr. Edward must go thinking them dressed so beautifully, just because they came up in their jackets; though for my own part, I never could bear the look of the things in their skins; and what's more, it wasn't decent to have them coming to table in such a state. And the next day I told my lady as much, adding that she would be pleased to peel the potatoes before bring ing them to the parlor for the future, as they were only lit for pigs to eat in the in the way she sent them up. Where upon the vixen flew into such a rage, and abused and swore at me in such a way, calling me everything that was bad, and declaring that she would pay I the out for it. And then, in the height lof her passion, the spiteful fury, with 1 the greatest coolness in the world, emp -1 tied all the dripping out of the frying-pan she was doing some soles in, right into the middle of the nice, brisk, clear fire, and created such a blaze, that I'm sure the flames must have been seen at the top of the house. Knowing that it was just upon our time for having the chim ney swept, I left certain that it must be on fire ; and when I rushed out into the garden, there it was, sure enough, ra ging away, and throwing out volumes of sparks and smoke, just like the funnel of a steam-boat at night-time--with such a horrid smell of burning soot, that all the little boys came rushing from far and near up to our door, and shrieked out, Fire! Fire! like a pack of wild Indians. "When I went back into the kitchen, the spiteful thing was impudent enough to tell me just to look there and see what I had made her do wid my boderations (as she called it,) adding, that it was'nt herself, though, that would be afther de s ►rting me in my distriss.' Feeling, how ever, that it was not the time to talk to I her just then, 1 made her take out every bit of fire there was in the grate, and al ter that 1 told her to run up to the top of the house with a. couple of pails full of water, and to get out on the roof and pour it down the chimney as quick as she could Up she went, while I waited below all of a twitter, expecting every minute that I should have a whole regiment of fire-engines come tearing up to the door, and putting us to the goodness knows what expense for nothing, when all of a sudden 1 heard the water come splash ing down right into the parlor overhead, and saw in an instant that the stupid thing of a Norah must have got blinded with the smoke up above, and mistaken the chimney, so that she had gone pour ing it down all over my beautiful stove in the dining-room. In nn instant I put my head up the kitchen chimney and hallooed out to her as loud as ever I could, 'No—rah! you must pour it down here.' I declare the words were scarce ly out of my mouth, when down came such a torrent of water and soot, right in my face and all over my head and shoulders, and down my neck, that any body to have seen me would have sworn some one had been breaking a large bot tle of blacking over my head; while im mediately afterwards, as if only to make matters worse, I heard a tremendous shout in the street, and on running to the window, I at once knew that the parish engine was at hand; for, tearing CEMENT.-It may be of importance to along the pavement on the opposite side some of our readers, that a valuable ce of the way was a whole regiment of, I ment, capable of withstanding the action should say, twenty or thirty little dirty o f water and the atmosphere for a long boys pulling at a rope, and dragging time, may be made by mixing the fol along a nasty, ugly, red, trumpery little lowing ingredients in the manner prescri machine, which, I'm sure, if the house bed. below: had been in flames, could have been of To a quart of vinegar add the same no more use to us than a squirt upon quantity of new milk.

And then, seeing the parish engine at the door, she wanted to go— and I declare it was as much as ever I. could tko to . prevent the fury—rushing out, an ( to use her own words,) ,lar ruppin' the Badle—just to facile the dir ty blaggeard not to come lobbin' the masther agin in that way.' "However, I was determined not to have the door opened; so after the bea dle had hammered away at it like a trunk-maker, for better than half an hour, he grew disgusted, and went otr with these impudent young monkeys of boys, and that stupid watering-pot of a • parish engine. " When I went into the parlor, it was in such a dreadful state that really it is 1 impossible for me to give my readers any idea of the dirt and filth about it— unless, indeed, I were to say that it was as grubby as one of my father's coal barges. I saw that I had got a very I pretty week's work cut out for me; and how Norah would ever be able to get through with it all, I could'nt say. As for my beautiful bright stove, it was as rusty and as brown as a poor curate's • coat, and the hearth-rug was as black as the face of that impudent cymbal- i player in the Life Guards." Miss Norah becomes very patriotic: ! "But in a short time that Norah gave me such a dose, that not knowing what she might treat me to after it, I really should have been worse than a child if I had taken it quietly. For one after noon I was in the kitchen, and if the hussey didn't spill a whole basin full of water on the floor, and then actually seemed in no way inclined to wipe up the slop on the boards, so I begged she would just take a cloth, and do it imme diately. But the ininx replied, 'Och! sure an' don't it always soak in, in my counthry,' which was a good deal more than I felt I ought to put up with. So 1 told her very plainly, "that her coun try, then, whatever it was, must be a filthy dirty place, and only fit for a set of pigs to wallow in.' No sooner were the words out of my month, than she turned round sharp upon me, and shriek ing out, , Hoo ! hubbaboo!' (or some such savage gibberish,) seized the kitch en carving -knife, which was unfortu nately lying on the table, and kept bran dishing it over her head, crying out, 'Hurrah for ould-lreland! the first jim of the sa l—and a yard of cowid steel for them as spakes agin' her!' Then she set to work, chasing me round and round the kitchen table, jumping up in the air all the while, and screaming like one of the celebrated wild-cats of Kil kenny. I flew like lightning, and she came after me like anything. I declare the vixen kept so close to my heels, that I expected every minute to feel the knife i run into me between my shoulders, just 1 where I had been cupped when I was a child, and the worst of it was, there wasn't even so much as a dish cover or a saucepan-lid near at hand that I might use as a shield, and I could'nt help fan cying that every moment my gown would go catching in one of the corners of the table, and that the fury would seize hold of me by my back hair, in a way that e ven if I wasn't killed by the fright on the spot, would at least turn my head for life. But, luckily, being a slighter-made woman than Norah, the breath of the ti gress failed her before mine did, and while she stopped to breath a bit, I rush ed up the kitchen-stairs--shot into the parlor—locking and bolting the door af ter me—and threw myself into the easy chair, where I sat trembling like a blancmange, determined not to leave the room until Edward came home when I wou'd certainly tell him about Norah's wicked behaviour to me. And yet, al ter he had told me so often as he had that he hoped the subject would drop, I declare I was half afraid to throw myself upon him for protection."
