The well to do tradesman like the me chanic takes pride iu seeing bis daugh ters good house keepers. To effect this object, the girl on leaving sell- oi which she does vviu-n about fourteen years of age goes through the ceri-n of con tinuation and then is placed by her pa rents with a country gentleman or in a huge family when- she remains one or iwo years tilling wlial may aim ist be |t' l- ii'-d the post of a sc- vast and doing *h work of one.

There she has control ot the expenditures and of the servants employed in it. and assists personally m the cooking- but is always addressed as “fraulieu,” or Miss and iu treated by the family with deference and consideration. Many daughters of rich families receive the same training with this and fference, howuvhever, that they receive it in a princely mansion or a royal residence, There is a reigning Queen in German ! at the present raiment who was trained ;in this way.

Spoony llutler made a speech at New- I urypnrt, Muss., on Monday night last in wliieil h reiterated his charges against the President, and ridiculed the idea that the impeachment mid trial of the Presi dent would produce anarchy and civil war.

It is as tar , from vanity as the antipodes. The one conccntr tes our powers and collects us in ul]r n/ii strength like a colossus, the ; other dissipates itself in catching the : gaze of others, and throws out its seduc- ing tricks like the flimsy threads of the, venomous spiders. A truly proud man I i never will he mean. A vain man is es- 1 ; seutially mean. A proud man moves | through life erect in his own worth, lie 1 j is like a stately ship, Fitting its broad ; sails before a fair wind, and steadily plough'll! ; its way to its destined haven, or stemming unwreeked and unbroken the adverse tempest. The vain man j creeps and flatlets—now a cartcrpiliar ; in the dirt, and then a painted niotli I humming arotinJ. the light to show otfits own pi'ettmess, burning himself in a I flame too intense for nis puny being, and ! finally dying in the steuc i of ins own | worthlessness. i Twenty seven families of Poles have ; gone to settle "it 2,500 acres of land in Spottsylvania county, Va. 1 hey are to pay for their land at the rate of five dol lars per acre at the expiration of six years.
