OLD MAIDS.
My friend, Claribel Languor, is a specimen of the old maid with money. Sfae is oharm- ing in her way. True she haa never been pretty; bat she dresses so elegantly, has snoh a graceful mauuer, and is so thoroughly well- bred, that you cannot help admiring Claribel. Sfae is certainly not lovely. Her face is some¬ what of the pudding caste, though her eyes are expressive; bei waist is refractoiy, and will bave nothing lo do with tight-lacing ; she wears a dress with a train—nolhing less— and charitably sweeps your carpets as sbe moves along ; she has £000 a year, and spends a sixth ofit in dress ; she appears mostly in Balina, which seem to be her peculiar fancy ; she haa a white satin for the eveuing, and a fawn colored satin for the morning; she hires a pony-carriage, with a stout, steady-going boxse, and a diminutive boy behind; she has little mercy on the horse, aud will drive him thirty milea without a feed ; on one occasion Bhe attemj'ted to drive him np a mountain, and sncceeded in getting a certain distance, bnt in coming down again the carriage stucfe; she got out and placed herself gracefully on a block of stone, appealed to the boy to extri¬ cate the vehicle, aud then set to and scrtjam- ed for half an hour witfaoat success; she be¬ lieves herself poetical and delights in poetry, which, however, she never reads; her history ia romantic, but sad, and she ia not at all ashamed to whisper portions of it to you in the thrilling accents of injured innocence ; she is the victim of an unrequited attachment; for yeara her susceptible beart has been beating in vain for William Mactavish, who, if he does not spurn her, as Paris did .^none, can¬ not make np his mind to matrimony and tbe Btont Claribel; not tbat her passion had been feeding in secret on her damask cheek; far from it, nnable to declare it directly to the object of her attachment, she tells everybody abont it, and calls for sympatfay for her mel¬ ancholy lot; sbe tells it to him in her eyes, in the constant invitations with which she plies him, and even in poems whicb ahe em¬ ploys a friend to compose, and aska him to read as her own; shj imagines herself to be consumptive, though, apparently, in as good health as her habits admit of; she ia never np till eleven, and at noon consoles herself with a bighly poetic—and fattening—repast of oysters and porter; then the poor deh'oate flower of five-and-thirty reclines on the sofa till the arrival of "the carriage," and so she pas¬ ses ber weary life.
Tha two Miaa Woodpeckers belong to two classes of old maid^r^^Barbara is a malade imaginaire, and, on tbe strength of it, is aa irritable aa she cap he; and Clytemnestra is strong-minded, and a lecturer. Barbara has tried every kind of cure for a complaint which never can be cured by drngaand patties, being nothing elae tfaan temper. Cold water and hot water! vegetable diet and fnll living, complete rest and tfae movement-cure, tfae grape-core, the mud-cure, the open-air-cure, for whicb the patient is lied to a chair, carried ont to a win¬ dy place, and left there foraixhouia ; all have failed to make her more satisfied with herself, or more'agreeable to her friends. She is al¬ waya "a little worse to day,'? and yet never gets to a dying point; she detests sympaihy, yet is angry if you don't offer it; she moves from a sofa to a bath-chair, and from a balb- chair to a sofa, and groans  inceasantly ; she
Torted her own oook aa to induce her to ezam- ffle the oabbage-hearta before boiling them, letst an nnoonabious caterpiller Bhonid therein b^ boiled aUre.
The ecoentrio old maid is not alwaya ofien- fiiVe, unleea having money, rank, or position, she ooDsoIea heraelf for cellbaoy hj indulging in tyranny. Tha country lady ia generally aiJt instanoe of this. TeDants are not quite aerfs at the present day, but when a tenant hlL8 a houae or &nn whioh aults him, which he has improred or famished at a conaiderable outlay, hs will naturally endore a good deal rather thau riak being tnmed out. Still more thepoor man, whose very bread dependa on hla remaining in his parish. Miss Gruffkin, oi Longaores Hall, ia jnst suoh a petty tyrant as one meets among landowners at timea. She is eminently ecoentrio, wears a Quaker-bonnet, and drab shawl, and drives about in a donkey- oarriage. She is good-hearted at bottom, and will do aU kinds of benevolent thinga at timea, bnt her peouliatlties are very troublesome. She haa an especial abhorrence of moustaohea, and turned ont aome friends of mine—her ten¬ ants—because the hnsbaad, in a weak moment, allowed the hair to grow on hia upper-lip.— Then, too, ahe haa fs vehement objection to marriage as Mr. Malthns himself; and when her bailiff yielded to the fasoinations of her housekeeper, ahe paid them both a quarter'a w&ges, and insisted that they ahonld leave the aame evening. There Is a oarriage road on her estate which was of great convenience to the neighbors, till one day a party of yonng men, all wearing moustaches, happened to ride along it,aa sbewas driving iuher donkey- ohair. Tfae next day ahe had a gate put up, padlocked and well seoured, and no entreaties or supplications of the neighbois could in- dilce her to allow them to pass through it. Sfae is said to entertain a belief that she is en¬ gaged to a gentleman whom she has not aeen for twenty yeara; and it ia perhaps, thia which has converted her to a Malthnaian.
But it ia in dreas as much aa anything tbat the eccentricity ofthe old maid diaplaya itself. I had the honor of seeing the Hon. Emilia Maskulyne, daughter of Lord Manley, at the watering-place of Shinglebeaoh, of which she is the leading star. She has been a fine woman, though now sixty, and she showa herself off in & remarkable manner. Her gown—generally of a Btriking oolor—has one solitary floance at the bottom thereof. Her boots might have been made for a plowboy, so thick are tbe soles and so fnll of nails. Sfae has a noble contempt for crinoline, and carries an umbrella instead of la parasol. But the quaintest point about heir is the hat, which oertainly measures a yard in diameter each way. She possesses two hats, of the same shape, one black and one gray, and both might have been worn by a cavalier in King Charles' day. They are nn- betit, perfectly straight, and with a huge coni¬ cal crown. Under the hat hor gray hair is curled like a boy's, being cut quite short- In thil! guise she stalks along with tfae stmt of a grenadier, carrying a walking-stick in fine weatber, and a powerful gingham of the Gamp fa'shion when it is rainy.
Bat one of the most eccentric old maids tbat I know is Bogenia Lingline. Her family is of no very great note, but sfae is convinced iu her sonl that it ia the oldest in England. When I first knew her ahe had avery oomfortable fortnne to make amends for red hair of the most carroty tint, projecting teeth, and a hog- iik^ physiogomy. Sfae was, however, always amiable and charming, aud had but that one weakness. Well, a few years ago, she .had lefj. herself pennyless. Was it speculation, or peculation by her lawyer ? Waa it charity or extravagance, or self-indulgence, or gambling ? Not at all. It was the Herald's office that had bejigared her,and that of herown free will— Shi) had apent almost every penny in looking for her ancestors, and they were ungrateful an^l unfeeling enough to keep on hiding till alniost her last farthing waa gone.
Inul Engenia had a brave heart, and wonld nol; abandon her forefathera. She oame to Lohdon, took poor lodgings, and went daily for eight honrs to the State Paper Office. I shall ne-t'er forget the happiness which beamed on her face, when sbe announced to me one day, ab(!iut two yeara after, tbat she had traced her linlj to Charlemagne. " Well, now, of course, you will be satisfied," said I, bnt she shook hei' bead, and went on. Another year paaaed, anA then she informed me that she had knit thd link to Edward tbe Confessor. "Surely that is enough." " No, no," she answered, enthusiaslioally; "I know we have Danish blood in our veins, and royal blood, too; I will not reat till I have Hengist and Horsa in our treg." Aud of courseshe secured them. Bnt sb^i caugbt a more tangible being than either Hebgist or Horaa at the same time. In tbe office she met with a man who was herself in troWsers, and who was engaged in tracing his orij^in to the Danish Vikings. It waa he who brought her within a generation of Hengiat, while he himself had arrived at the aon of Ilolrsa. Tbe moment waa thrilling. One link moVe and she and be could boast of tbe same ancestor. Bat this one link refaaed to be joiiied. They toiled in vain. All thearobivea of Antiquity were overturned for the one or tfae twJi links. Tfaey were at the brink of despair, wfaBn, it being luncheon time, and they being aloloe in the office, the gentleman dropped on on^i knee and thtis addressed Eugenia: " We haVe failed to unite at that far end, let ns nnite at tfais near one. For the sake of pos¬ terity let UB blend the historic names of Long Iini) and Twaddle. Will yon be mine ?" En- geriia could not resiat the appeal, and thua sa^ed their great-great-great-great-grand-chil- dr^n a deal of trouble.
A very oommon kind of old maid is the Cu ¦ rate's Own. She is found in almost every to^rn and village, and the EatabHshment owes mtich to her. It ia she who keeps up its prestige, ahe who proposes the testimonial of th6 silver teapot, she who praises his sermons

nurse who ever staid with her more than three months; tbe place would kill Hercules, and drive Job to the use of bad language ; she ia never satisfied witfa these nurses, never gives them a " thank yon ;" never smiles at them. Betsy, for instance, is aa strong as aman, and aa gentle aa a lamb, and lifts her mistress most carefully inlo tbe chair; abe is rewarded by a ahriek—'* Oh, you awkward, clumsy creature, yon have nearly killed me. There, put that cushion better. Oh I dear, oh I dear, what it is to be surrounded by idiots and foola." An¬ other scream—" Can't yon obey me. Didn't I tell you not to touch the cushion. It was per¬ feot before, clumsy, stupid thing." Betsy mur. murs that she was told to arrange the cushion. "Ohl you dare to answer me; indeed, you dare lo give me tbe lie. Where do you hope to go to, if you lell lies like tbat V and ao on. She is bearable in compauy for a time—aa long as you do not diffdr with her in opinion. Once do that, and abe ia down upon you. Tfaen, too, when sfae haa got an idea into her head, nothing can alter it—" I knew it was the Nea¬ politans who were beaten," ahe insista. You fetch the newspaper to prove she is wrong.— «' Oh, who in tfaeir senses ever dreamed of be lieving a newspaper. Of courae, they have their own motives for saying so," and so on,
However, Barbara ia not so obnoxious as Clytemnestra. She believes herself philan. thropio, and subscribes to the Sooiety for the Prevention'=of Cruelty to animals, quite forget¬ ting her orudlty at timea to her own apecies. At one time she deluged me with traota on the bearing-rein ; and I have aeen her mn a halt-a-mUa to catch the driver of a doukey- cart, and rate him on his treatment of Balaam's favorite. At present she is engaged in a cra- sade in favor of poultry, which ahe wishes to have kUIed under the influence of chloriform. She has pensioned six horaes, to save them from the knacker's and would have pensioned' twenty times the number, but that ahe found that horses, like humans, would not die when they had once got an annuity, and so it wag beooming expenaive. She lately; got up a petition to Government for an Act to prohibit
oontlnued to be a baobalor. The other aister paased her time at her window, kindly playing detective for the parish, and communicating a regular weekly report to the clergyman. Next came a dear old maid, not so very old either, who literally saorifioed herself to an idiotic father and an insane mamma. Lastly, there was a family of seven—all old—allmaida, but the youngest of whom had not quite jemei^ed from the days of flirtation, and was atill called " the baby." Dear babe of forty-three, what a playfal littte kitten I Then there waa no bachelor, except the young' doctor and he waa aecnred. Tfae otfaers tried to be invalids, bnt conidn't. Their health was robust. I am not vain; but I may say that when I alighted from the coaoh at the little inn of that village, a firebrand waa thrown into the midst of thoae previously peaceful and harmonioua vestals. I only know that long before the summer was over, I fled—fled and left them to fight it ont. Shonid this paper ever meet their eyes—which is doubtful, for they never see a magaiine—I beg to assure them most solemnly that I never had, and still have not, a preference. I love them all-—dearly, but I shall not again visit the quiet little village of Maidenford, while I retein my senses.
The poetic old maid and the scientific old maid are rather oommon oases. The former is plain in face, but all soul. She haa her pet poet, and though unacquainted with him, writes him the most charming letters in praise of hia last volume. She berself publishes in provinoial newspapers. She is above low mer¬ cenary considerations, and ao the editors are very polite to her. Her " Ode to a Grasshop¬ per," in heroic metre, haa been reprinted, for private circulation; a sensible restriction bnt quite unnecessary. Sfae talks of love in a Platonic style, and has a spiritual attachment to some author or other with whom ahe cor¬ responds in letters of six sheets. She Is unti¬ dy in her dress, not to say dirty, lives much alone, and weeps over her blighted life. The scentifio old maid, ou the other hand ia all senae. She begau with ferns—maidenhair naturally attracting her—proceeded to botany, soon Blipped into geology, and after hearing a lectnre of Faraday's plunged bravely into chemistry. She wears green spectacles, strong shoes, sfaort petticoats, and an old brown hat, and may be aeen with a geologist's hammer in one hand and a basket in the other. She is quite harmless, and except when ahe insists on explaining the migration of ants, and the formation of oak balls, not necessarily dis¬ agreeable.
Tfae mention of oak-balla reminds one of blight, and by a natural transition I pass to blighted beings. All old maids are more or less blighted. AU have loved, and all, in consequence, in vain. Buthowmany blighted themselves, and how many were blighted by the falseness of man is a calculation which I must leave to the Statistical Society. But the real blighted being is the one who deserves our deepest sympathy. I am now engaged iu collecting subscriptions in postage stamps for an asylum for the blighted, and I am convinced tfaat we cannot call ourselves a Christian aud a civilized natiou till such an institution exists among us. The blighted demand sympathy, and they can only fiod it among fellow-blight- eds. Their case is a hard one, and it is tbe duty of every man, still more of every bach, elor, to contribute to their comfort.
The cruelest case of blight that I ever heard was that of Florida Smith. An officer of militia had long been the object of her yonlh- fnl dreams, and she looks in vain for the mo¬ ment when be should declare the passion which shewfis convinced burned within him. The moment came at last; the volcano burst into fiame. One morning she received a let¬ ter beginning, "My dear Miss Smith," and couched in unmistakable language. It was brought by a boy, wbo waited for an an¬ swer. She selected the neatest sheet of pink paper, poured forth a modest, yet delightful assent and gave it to the messenger with her own hands. Then she awaited tfae lientenant. She waited that day and the next. He came not. She refused exercise, and stayed at home a third day. He came not. A week passed and he came not. A fortnight and he came not. At last ahe ventured to write and received an answer.
" Mt Deab Miss Ssrirn, "It isall the fault of tfaat boy. He took the letter to the wrong house. Deeply as I regard and respect yon, I must not conceal from you that my letter was intended for the danghter of Colonel Smith; and I am sure that you, who in yonr note assured me lhat my happiness was your soul's desire, will be glad lo hear that it is at least secured. I am yours very sincerely.
ofiBOwalip tea and gingerbread when others &r(i callous. Without her devotion the curate could scarcely survive on his £30 per annum. The Curate's Own (or, aa we might call her, thil Curate's Aid_) mnst be divided iuto two claaaes, according as the said curate is " big " or "low/' for her own viewa depend on his.-- Sbe has, in fact, well reteined that portion of catechism whiob inculcates submission to apiritual pastors and masters-
Very different from the Curate's Own is the faiit old maid, who is less common, and psr- haps leas satisfaclory. She rides to hounds and haa a good collection of " brushss;" meela willt for her. Sho drives a pair of dappled gi^iys and goes ont shooting in a basket phae- toh. She does not refnse a place in a " drag," add ia quite at home on a high dogcart. She vHsite her horae every morning in the steble, arid ia proud of being able to groom him her¬ self if necessary. Sho talka rapid slang. But tbere is no hope for the faat old maid, and one bj'one she sees** the meu "drop off, taking tb themselvea quiet modeat little wives, whose more feminine attraction attach, while ahe can only amuse.
The "slow "old maid is, however, not an individual to cultivate. Her natural almos- pliere is that of a oountry village. I waa once condemned by the avenging sisters (by the wiiy, both the Fates and tbe Furiea were old maida, both then so were the Muses) to pass a admmer in an old maid's village. The whole felooale population seemed to have espoused celibacy. There was but one married lady in the plaoe, the clergyman's wife; for no cler¬ gyman could venture there without being miu-ried, for fear of a breach of the peace.— There were positively no young ladies In the place.
In one houae lived the two maiden sisters of a retired aldenuan, but they were paat all danger, asd were drawn about, quivering with anUqnity, in two ohairB. In the next were tWo more maidens, far from comely, whereof th's one was a oonflnned inralid, and waa like- I ly^to remain 80 long aathe handaome young

But there are, as I have said, more good old maids in the world than bad ,* and in a conntry where so mnch good is to be done, it is a great con-=olation to see so many unoccupied women engaged in doing it. I have enlarged on the foolish virgins, because evil in this wicked world is geuerally more amusing than good; but the wise virgiha are not at all in a min¬ ority. How many do I know who give np their whole time, and half thair income, to the improvement and comfort of the aick and the needy. In the present day we have even pnblic instances of the good that a siugle wo¬ man may do. Misa Nightingale and Misa Marsh are not second to oar greatest philan¬ thropists ; and wbat tbey undertake, they do without cant and withont affectation. If I may be forgiven for dragging another name before the public—one scarcely less known, however—I woold mention Miaa Carpenter, the head of tfae Briatol Keformatory, a woman whose talents are only surpassed by her inde¬ fatigable benevolence. These, indeed, are the greatest stars of old maidism: but there are hundreds of unmarried women, in every vil¬ lage, in every town they may be found, who devote tbemselves to doi^ good, and to far¬ thering the great work of social progress.— Would to heaven every woman who has given up the thought of marriage, and a great num¬ ber of those who have not given it up, would do likewise. There ia work for women, whioh only women can do; and married women have their hnabands and their families to at¬ tend to, while young ladies have not tbe re¬ quisite experience. What Nuns and Sisters of Charity do abroad, our old maids do in Eng¬ land ; and I am not joking when I say, tfaat old-maidism is a greater boon to this coantry than is generally supposed. For evey oue who is a gossip, a match-maker or a pedant there are half a dozen who are good, honeat workers in the right direction. It ia with onr old maida that so muoh remains. None oth¬ ers oan undertake the care of our hospitals, the reclamations of those wretched women whoae very exiatence brings a shudder to the Chriatian, and the proper training of the daugh¬ ters of our poor. None others, therefore, can properly replace the conventual establishmente of the Continent. The prison, the workshop, the reformatory, the hospital and the back- slums, all want women to bring them round, gentle female influenoe to recall them to God; and there are none more fitted to the task than old maida. While, therefore, I glory in this British Institution, so appropriale to a Protes¬ tant conntry, I would, in the" humblest spirit of which au old bachelor is capable, suggest to all onr old maids, wbatever their age, to give np morbidness, blighte-l recollections, fast fancies, idle monotony, intense love of guety, devotion to oarales, high or low, and even their scientific purauite; aud since the primary office of woman, aa wife and mother, is beyond their reach, to take cheerfully and heartily to the next best work, the effusion of that gentle spirit with which the Maker has gifted the better half of onr race—decidedly the better half, I aay it, thongh an old I ache- lor. Jael, Judith, Boadicea, Joan of Aroand Charlote Corday, may be very graud scenic speclmena of womankind, but they are unlov¬ able. Let old matds make Tabltha—goodi kind, geutle Tabltha, who worked her Angara for the widow and the orphans—their patron B^nt, ahd call themaelves, not their cats, by ker quaint name. Let St. Tabltha be the ex¬ ample of ereiy single woman who feela wUhio
herself the approach of that dreaded period, and she will aoon foi^et false vowa, fond hopei, and the intense longing for conjugal bliaa.
Bnt I am not a man who writea withont a motive; and I cannot conclude thia paper wltbont laying ont a acheme. Much as I ap¬ preciate the valne of old-maidlam in modera¬ tion, I look with dread at hia increase, and I aak myaelf if there be no means of stopping it;   I believe I can auggeat one.
Ifwe inquire into its, cauaea, we find that this Anglo-Saxon phenomenon la confined almoat to one olasa. Among the poor it Is little known; among the aristocracy it Is not so common as matrimony. But among the class of poorer gentry and the so-oalled "middle- classes," old maids are, I fear, even more nn¬ meroua than married women. The fault Ilea not with them, but with the men. Profes¬ sional meu and buaineaa men cannot afford to marry early; aud when they do ao they make the "best match ".they can, which, to your consolation, dear old maids, is of ten the worst. This ia a vile age of cheap artioles. Cheapness and goodness rarely go tegether, unless the demand ia enormous. Now, the demand for wivea is not ao great aa it might be. A wife laa luxury; and a man may give himself up to a Belf-Indulgence—may min himaelf with brandy and gin, or expensive fnmitnre, or dogs aud horses, or what not, before he thinka of indulging in that laat and greateat of luxu¬ riea—a loving wife. A man may oertainly marry on very little ; but before he can riak nurses and doctor's bills, that little must be a certainty. Theu, too, be hia fortnne what it may, that little muat be clear of debt. A good man wilt not marry to bring his wife into anx¬ iety, and the fear of tJie bailiff. Tfae folliea of his yonth muat have been paid for, and even bia tailor dismissed for a ready-money trades¬ man. If a mau marry on £200, £300, £dOO or £500 a year, he mnst be atire that he haa sufficient command over himself to make that sum enongh for a wife and baby, as well as No. 1; he must be ready to give up his clnb, his cigar merchant, his male Boeiety, and to take instead to that ampleaubstitute—agood, dear, little wife. Ho not be surprised at an old bachelor apeaking thus. I have long cursed my fate—but my day ia gone. The old bach¬ elor is a miaerable being ; and I give any old maid, wbo pleases, leave to attack us fiercely in the next number.
But how ia it that these oonaideratiouB re¬ garding matrimony occur only to the man of the middle olasa t Let me explain. The aris¬ tocrat has his title to sell, if he has no fortune; and he readily picks up an heiress or a widow. Tfae aristo-feminine, if she has inherited noth¬ ing, haa also her title for sale; but atill more, she has a father or a brcther whose infiuence can oommand a certain number of suitors. The aristo-feminine is sometimes married for her¬ self, but she is more often married for a vote, ora Parliamentary coimexion, or an aggran¬ disement of territory.
On tfae other hand, Tom, Bill, or Jim, while they would fain look out for the '' gal of my 'eart," have the natural tendency of selfish tyrannical man, to investigate "oircnmstan- cea." The British workman, as a rule, mar¬ ries early; for he has no inducement to remain a bachelor. The British home of the mechanic rarely contains room for grown-up sons ; and once lannobed they mnst abift for themselves. The charm of a *' home " ia the one bit of poe¬ try that tfae British workman indulges in; and often, too, it tnms ont to be a bitof rery prac¬ tical, calculating proae. The " home " gives comfort to the workman at a cheaper rate tban he can find elsewhere ; and these well-meaning people who establish dining-rooms for me¬ chaniea, aud cluba for their evenings, do not see that thereby they are removing the neces¬ sity of home, and so encouraging celibacy.
But how does the British workUian afford to marry when the British gentleman cannot ? The answer la that women of the working classes are in effect richer than those of the idle ones. Tfaey can work and may work, and tfaat is the wfaole seoretof it, A poor man gains by marriage, for his wife can and will make up his income; sfae even does more than support heraelf, she increases his com¬ forts.
And this then is what I would say to the middle and professional classes; eltfaer give your dangbtera money or teaoh them a trade or profeaaion by which they can make it. Onr philanthropists and our Quarterly Reviewers write pamphlets and articles about the em¬ ployment of the workingclassea. They scarce¬ ly need them, they do learn to work. But no one thinks of writing for our idle classes. No one sees how foolishly the daughters of bnsl¬ ness and professional men are brought up— to read novels, work crotchet, and paint poti- chomanie ; no one aska whether there be no sphere ofwork for them to fill, and thus make themselves more eligible wives for busineas and professional men. Yet It might be so. The cares of a household, tha education of ohildren are not ao all-absorbing aa to preclude other work. Too often our wivea and daughters dispense with these cares and tbrow this edu¬ cation upon other shoulders. Too often the wife whose husband oau barely support her, declines to nourish, her own child In the nat¬ ural way, or demands a governess for it when growing up. The wives and daughters of tbe middle olass have time enongh to make calls, to gossip, to go to parties, lo work in Berlin wool. Might not this time be given to some oconpa.lion which wonld increaae the husband'a income t I believe there ia an ample one, and lhat the help-meet of man fa expected by tbe laws of life to do something more thau order his dinner, and sew buttons on his ahirt. I believe it is a gross radical error to suppose that woman ia to be the drone and man tfae working bee, thoueh I wonld not see men and women follow the example of the hive farther, where the female labors where the male lies Idle. I have no space to go into tbe qneation of woman's proper work, but I am convinced that in thia conntry it is wrongly confined to the nurture of her ohildren. It onght, I am confident, to include their aotual support, or at least a portion of it. Andif onr daughters were taught to help out the incomes of tfaeir futnre mates, as those of the lower orders are, we ahould have as few old maida and old bach¬ elors in England as elsewhere.
I only hope that tbe next generation will marry early, that we shall have fewer young men withering in immoral cellbaoy, yonntt womeu blighted into bitterness, and no Mr. Malthua' ghost throwing his cap up and crow¬ ing over the attainment of hia desires.
Meanwhile old maidism is a glorious insti¬ tution of this oountry; but, like atl otur glori¬ ous inatitutious, it wanta reforming. Suppose tbe "womeu of England" undertake it.— IBlackwood.']

Gheerfulneas in a family ia a positive duty. Thousands of people are every day made mia- eralle by bad temper, uaeleaaly manifeated, without any ulterior benefit. The frame of mind whioh ia ever ready to take oflenoe, to imagine a alight, to be aulky, and te revenge one, ia, alaa I a punishment, not alone to itself but to others. Snoh a temper Bhould at all coate, be repressed. It can easily be cured if we have but the wHL It is, to say the beat of It, conceited and mean.   It ia the bane of life.
Nothing ia reaUy troublesome that we do willmgly.

The American Agricultoriat; YOU WAMT IT, heoanse   it contains   so
very many new aod osefal directious, hints and sogges- tioDS abont all kinds of out-door work, in tbe OARDEN. in the FIELD, in the ORCHARD, on the litlle plot of ground, about Domestio Animals, etc., etc. Tha^^n- culturist is not a atale rehaah of theoretical stuff, soch as goes the rounds from one paper to aoother, but It is flUsd with useful and new practical information, every word of which la reliable, because prepared by houest, practical WOBEINQ MEN, wbo kuow what they write about.
Each volume contaios many hundreds of useful hints, and it is certain that maay of these bints will each be worih to you more tliao a dollar.—As an example, a subscriber writes: "^—I obtaloed fi bashels more per acre on a lO-acre fleld of wheat, (or Inall.&O bushels) simply from a bint abont preparing tha seed glvea in
my   Aynculturist." Anotlier says bo obtained   an
fcxtra yield of II buahela of com per acre onalS-acre field, aod witb no extra coKt for culture, by applying ooe hint from the AgticuUurut.-^AnoUter, (a villa¬ ger) says he got $43>£ worth extra of good garden vege¬ tables, which be attrlbntes wholly io tbe timely hints in the Agriculturalist, wbich told him from time to time ti'Aof to do, Aow to do it, and uiAcn to do It. Thou¬ sands of othera have derived similar advaatages. You are invited to try the papera year, at a coat of ooly $l. If yea desire, yuu can have,^ree of charge, foor or flve parcels of clioiC6 seeds, which the Pnhllsher will distribate among bia sobbcribers the preaeat wloter.
YOUR WIFE wants the Agriculturist, he- cause It has a large amoant of valuable aad really a«e- fol Infcrmatton about aU klods of HOUSEHOLD WORE, from Garret to Cellar. Give har the beneflt of thia paper for a year. Too will flnd your home made better aod money saved.
YOUR CHILDREN want the Agriculturist, for it cootalns a very lnt.irestiag, naefal and eatertalo- iog departmeat for yodth and cqildbev, which wiU be of great valoe to their minds aod henrts.
The above are tmttifal statementa, that will be cheerfally attested hy nearly a bundred tbooaaad of the preaaot readers of the AgrieuUurist. You are lovl- ted to try a alogle volume ef the Agriculturist, which will cost only Sl, and abandanlly pav. Try it for 188J (Vol. 20.)

BBANDY AS A MEDICINE.
THE following article was voluntarily sent to Ur. H. E. SLATUAKER, Ageot fur Rblgart'a Old Wine Store, In this city, by a promi- n^ai practlatag Phyniclaa of thia couaty, who ba^ ex¬ teusively used the Brandy referred to In his regnlar practice. It la commended to the a'teatlon of thone aniicted with lodlgeatlon or DyHpepula:
BRANDT AS A MEDICINE;—Tble now much abuBed alcoholic stimulant wae never iottoded as a bereruge, but woe aaed as a medicine of great poteocy aod relia¬ bility in the cure of some of lbe mout dfeutractWo and viraleot dtaeacea, which swept befure them tbeir aooaal thoueands o( victims. Anide irom the indlspea^able aee of alcohol In the arta and maoufactureB, we, with a purely phllaolhrapic motive, iatead to preaeut to the favoiabM notice of invalids—Btpoeixlly thoKe afllicted with that protean and mii-arable dlMeaae, Dyspej-sia— a specific remedy Is authiog more oor lenii than BRANDT. The aged. With feeble appetuea. aud luort* or lera debility, will fiod thin simple mediciiso, wbfo oesd pioperly, a aoverelgo remedy for all their ilia and achea. Bul bloce we have recommeoded this aa « remedy, he It, however, atrictly nnderhtoud that we pre¬ scribe and oae hot ooe article, and that ia"R£.'f OMifi'^' OLD BRANDY,"—sold by our enieiprlMug yuun^ frleod, H. E. Slatuakeb. ThiH braody haa t-tood tbe teat for years, and has oarer failed, au far uu oor expe¬ rieoce extends, aod We Iherefure give It the preferouci over all utber brandies—ao matter with how many Jaw hreakiog French titles they are brauded. t>ae-(ourtb oftbe moaey that la yearly "hrown away on varioob Impoieot dyapepHlaepecifica,woold BoUlce tobuy all tbs brandy to care any anch cose or cattea. Wo have vftea been advluad by piomloeot cltizuoa ia oar neighbor hood—who are Btrictly temperate—to pabllah tbe vlr tuen of thia braody. In thin all pervading malaily, an It would lo K manner abuliah the hout of wuuld-bo quack remediea, with wbicti Iavalids are au outragaoably bombugged, aud brlog cheer aod comfort to maa? a deaolate firealde. Ia proof of what ReigarVa Old Brandy has accomplished as a remedy, in the oisi^aues to wblcb we have alluded, we caa anmmoa qolte a respectable number of persons, who will freely teutlfy an to the great and laatiog beoefita tbey have derived from ila uee as a medicioe. Several caeeu of tha mout ioveterats from of Dyapepaia—where It proved aaccei-Hful—ahonl.i aloae butaca to convince aoy liberal mind that Old Brandy la infallible. One case lo particalar we wlli cite:—A hard worklag farmer had been aflllcted with an exhaobtlog dyupepula for a numberof yeara; Lia stooQHCb would reject almoat every klndof food; be had aour aractatloos conatantly—no appetile—In fact, be was obliged to raatrict his diet to crackers and atale broad, aod as a beverage ba used McGrana'a Rovt Beer. He Is a Methodist, aod iheo, aa oow, preached at tlmeu, aad in his discourse ofteu declaimed earnestly agalost all kinds of strong drink. When advised lo try Rei¬ garVs Old Brandy In fais case, he looked up with aaton. luhment; bnt after relating its wonderful effects lu the cases ofsome ef hla near acqaalntaoeae, he at last coU' sented to foUow onr advlco. He naed the braody faith¬ fully and stsadily; thc first hottle girlag bim ac appetite, aod bafore the second was all uken be was a aound man,witha atomacb capable of digesting any thing wblch ha chose to eat. He atill keeps It aod uses a littlo occasionally; aod, moreover, aince fae faas this medicioe, ha bas been of very mtle pecuniary beoeflt to the doctor. If aoy are skeptical, or believe tbia is wriilen to benefit any liqaor dealer wacan, if required, glva a certificate eudoraed hy quite a reapectable number of persons, wbo btve been cored by it, and who will at anytime cheerfully leotlfy as to lis auperior healthy virtues in dyapepsla, aud all diseases of a dehlllatlng cfaaracter. Tfaose desiring to use this braody will eblalo full directions of Mr. Slaymaker; bnt aoch as deaire to nae U for Inloxicating parpoeea, we advlae to rather suffer with dyspepala, and let ReigarCs old brandy gst older, or untU thoy can form a roBoluilon to use It as a medicine.

It Is claimad that all tbeae defects are totd- edlsd lo the above wrooght aod chUled-lrou safe and lock, and the object of this article la. not only to ahow this fdct, but the why aod tbo wherefore. Todo thih nnderslAudIngly. a short synopals o[ ihe strnctore win be flrat preaented of thia as well as of the abeet-lroa aafo. premlsiog that tha two prloclples comprise all the popular safes now in u^e. Further, that the vaour priocipleia theonly oae now relied upon to make tb" safe flra-proof, hv all ib« aafe-makera htvlop any cele¬ brity, cooaeqaeutly, all oow out laacompoHltlooc'.)am- her fur this object. STRUCTDRE OF CHILLED-IRON SAFES DESCRIBED.
The ba^e or body of thia safe Is a box made of bara of wrought Iron. >f lo ?i ol on Inch thick, hy l>ilo2K lucbeu wide, cronuing each other at right angles, aod placed oear each uther, forming a compact network; aboat ^i, Inch holes are drilled near each other throo^u thedO bars,aod coaatar sunk; caat irou la rao betweeu tbeae bara and Into tba'holes, and over the outer Bur- laco, making tha whole tbickoeaa l>.^to2 locbeuof aolid Iron, without Jolnla; the wronght irua bara thorooRhly chiiliog the caat lnm, and waking it drill proof while the two Irona are ao atrongly tied as not to be ueparated or broken by any ordinary power. STRUCTDRE OF  SHEET-IRON  SAFES   DESCRIBED
The Bhaet-iroa safe la madaofaheet-irou platea, from one-Bixteenth to one-twelfth o' an loch thick, banded round tbe outer edgea with light bar Iron, the larger safes haviag a baud acroaa the centre. This caojtltaiet lhe whole iroo work, adding the door flaoges and back plate, aod the door-way or froat flaagaa; except in some cafiee a thin plate of hardened utesl ia placed Inside, and tbia Is called a borglar-proof s^fe.
Ab ban beeo meatloaed, each of tbe ahove safes have composUlou chamberB, or, more piactically, vapur chan)l'er.t.a3 vapor Is foond abaolotolynecoriuary to uct upoa tbe iroo Uanges that anrrooad ths eompoaltlon chamber, or the heat would be easily coodactoii tbroagh these fiacgoit Lo the loterlor, thoogh the compoeltioo be ever so good a noa-condoetor, as irou Is a free cduductor of heat, aad vapor Is tho only praTeotlve. It must bo admitted that the boat material for this chamber is that which U the greatest ahaorbeot, aod win oot cake or becume bard. Lime may he conceded to bathatartlcle, att moat of the safo-mokeis uBe a compoaitiou havlag lime for a coDallluaot, and this ts tho ouly reliance for the production of rapor ; but as lime is light, it Is In lhe sheet Iron safe adulterated with flre clay, or aome beavy Bubstance togive lhem weight and sulldity.
Tbo Chlllfltl Iron Safe has both In theoatar etractare. cooflequontly tfae chamber la fliled wllh Umo uoadul- teraled, piudoclog moch more vapor tbao the cumpoyl- tioo used by sheet irou makera, and while the aheet Iron safe is warplog and twIatlDg at every Joint when healed, allowing the vapor to escape, the chilled Iron prevents thd aprlaglog of tbe Jolota, coneeqnently the vapor canaol eucape. And here lies the great advan¬ tage this Safe has (as a flre proof) over the ^beet Irun. but It has other Importaot advaatages. Thg Btrbcture shows that it caonot be affected by the falling of wallu, timbers, &c., or Us own fall; that there Is no chance for deterioration from rust or otherwise; that In caseof flre ita shape la not affected ; that If It la checked by water, or other cauBa, the check cau ooly reach to tbe wrooght iron bars, coasequently the aafa Is not iojared for uss; tbat the steam or vapor la mainly kept in the vapor chamber, aod dooa uot destroy the blodloge to book)*, or ao lojure the paper as lo require copying, thereby aaving this troable, as well as the expeosa ofa aew Ka(e.
As lo Bnrglary, the atructore shows tbia safe to be drill proof all over the Burface, and with LllUe'a cele¬ brated Bank Lock attached, wbicb la drill, r^Iedge and powder proof, It will be aeeo that It ia thorongbly bur¬ glar prouf^wblle tbe Etractare of tho sheet Iron aafe dhows tbat the crowbar, axe, cold cbleel, or drill can pent-trateilin afdwmomeoW, wlthoat much noise oi diuturbancs.
