An Arnn.^ns Sketch.
The following sketch.of a Jersey
girl is applicable to more than one lo
cality :
“ I am a farmer, and so was my f
father before me. I have not followed 1
rn his footsteps in the way of managing
the farm, because I have taken agri
cultural papers and have learned much
that was not his to-know; and what’s . n ,
more, the railroad has come within , noQnotng <« well as her new *>»hioned

chair back (a ‘vulgar trick,’ Nancy
calls it.) The next day my wife told
me what was to pay. I must say I
like my old fashioned way of-pro-
lipon „ ..
years, is worth five times what it was
in his day. I am not one cf the kind
of men who croak and grumble about
jold times. I enjoy modern times, and
would not give up my machines, and
go back to the old way of doing things
by hand for any money. I often won
der if my father can look down from
heaven, and see die mowers and reap
ers fly over the old places where he
toiled and sweat. I cannot help chuck
ling to myself, as I sit in my sulky,
and ride over the old familiar places,
cutting down the grass, and raking it
up again, like lialf-a dozen men, to
think my boys can go to school all the
year round, and never suffer from the
want of learning, as I do e ,T en to this
day.
My wife is up to the times, too, and
likes to give her family a good chance
in the world. She is a good manager,
rising early, and rising to some pur
pose. I owe half of my prosperity to
her help and counsel. My boys are
growing up healthy, sensible young
fellows. The two oldest harness up
the old mare and go to the academy,
three miles off, and except a little
while during hay and harvest, they do
not iose a day all the year round. The
only thing that troubles me .is my
daughters. Nancy, the oldest, is a
fine, handsome, smart girl of nineteen.
She went to the district school till she
was sixteen, and then she had learned
all there was to learn there. *So we
to iirs. Drake’s
concluded to send her
Seminary, about fifty miles off. She
did get along there amazingly. In
two years she had learned a pile, and
besides, had painted beautiful pictures
enough to cover onr walls (though I
mu«t confess, I suspect her teacher
• gave her a lift at that, now and then.)
She could sing equal to our parson’s
wife, and can start the tunes in meet-,
ing when the Squire’s away. She
knew the French for every thing
around the house, and understood bot
any, chemistry, natural philosophy,
and more things than I could mention.
While she was at Mrs. Drake’s, she
only came home at Fall and Spring
vacations, and then was so busy sewing-
arid getting read}- to gi black again,
that her mother did not think it worth
while to set her to work. Well, last
Spring she came home for good, and a
joyful day it was to me. I felt happy
to think I had'a daughter who had a
good education in her head, and spry
and healthy hands to work. But, Mr.
Editor, she is a spoiled girl, for aught
I can sec, yet her mother thinks she
will come to after awhile.
She can’t bear to see me in my shirt
sleeves, no matter how clean and white,
but insists upon my wearing a linen
duster, for she has learned that ‘ it is
disgusting to eat with a man in his
shirt sleeves.’ She is right down
ashamed of her mother’s hands, be
cause they show that she has been a
hard-working woman all her life. Our
ing'after breakfast, whep her pia told
her to shake ibe table-ciotb, what does
she do but take it away through the
long hall and out the back door, for
fear some one would see her shake it
in the same place' where she had for
ten years. I’ve got a new bough ten
carpet for the parlor, and now she
wants the front windows cut down to
the floor.
j Yesterday she came to me to know
j if she might ‘ teach district school V
j ‘No,’ said I, ‘why. do you want to
: teagh 1 y I am aide to keep six^girls
j like you, if I had them. No, I can’t
j think of your teaching.’ Upon this
she began to cry again, and I can’t
stand woman’s tears, so I said ‘ teac’u P
and she is going to teach all winter
and summer in a little bit of \ school-
house, not as good as my pig house,
for fear sh-a will get tanned and'freck
led, and spoil her hands helping her-
nio ther.
Now, Mr. Editor, I have given up
Nancy, but I have three fine girls
growing up. I am able and willing to
give them all a good education,; for I
believe in it. in spite of the dreadful
blunder I have made. I would .like
to know if you can tell me of any place
where a farmer’s daughter can get a
good education and not lose her senses.
I can’t stand it to have our other girl?

discretion in approving indentures.
§ 4. Duties of Master.— The master
shall teach the apprentice the business
of husbandry, house service, or some
other useful-trade or occupation, which
shall be specified in the instrument of
apprenticeship ; shall furnish him with
wholesome food, stlfliSble clothing, and

and shall govern him with humanity,

§ 5. Controversies Pending the Rela
tion.— Of all controversies between the
master and his apprentice pending the
existence of the relation, the county
Court may exercise jurisdiction;-raid
on complaint of either party and no-
tice to the other, may cause justice to
be done in a summary maimer. If the
master be in default, he shall be fined’

the apprentice, the Court may order
such corr.ction as the circumstances
may demand, not extending to cruelty.
§ i>. Dissolution of the Relation.—By
consent of the parties, the county Court
may dissolve the relation at any time;
and on the death of the master, the
Court may either dissolve it, or substi

filing a written acceptance, shall
thenceforth have all the rights, and be
bound for all the duties of the .origi
