It was to the guardians of the same Union
that this appeal was made; and many, very
many, I dare say, they had of the same
kind.

Again the fair sex claims attention. It is
the old story from Dido downwards; indeed,
ever since the time of Lamech:

"He, in love, the first deceiver."

The writer in question was a discharged
female servant. Her letter is dated from
Bath, a long time ago, though perhaps the
"desetful man" is not forgotten yet. Thus
it runs:

DEAR MADDAM
aving onfortunitly Left your Service as I Latley
Perseve throw A desetful Man that you so Hoften have
cotioned me A But Who I Bleve Whod ave runned
my Sole and Boddy both and I mit Be Thankful to
God that I am Parted from him and as my Bible tells
me I Bleve that all thing Works toegether For good
to them that Lov God  Dear Maddam I ave taken
the Key of the Carrag Blinds throw a innosent
mistake, and I ave Sent it to you and ave take the
Libbery to rit those few Lines to you and I hope it
will not be offencive to you or to my master. I did
wish much to see you Maddam Befor I Let yor

Bosom  Maddam I am your and your Fambleys most
Obedient and Most Humble Servant

For a complete business-like production
commend me to the following. It is a
gardener who wants a situation.

John Clark's letter is slightly unintelligible
towards the close, but perhaps the exertion
of writing was too much for him. I will not,
however, perplex the subject still more by
being his commentator.

From the date of the next letter it might
be supposed that the progress of which we
boast so much in the nineteenth century had
not extended to the nineteenth thousand,
when it appears to have been written. The
opening is both zoological and startling; but
it shows how easily a difficult matter may be
handled.

In this case I venture to suggest that the
word in italics means the "recommendation"
of Mr. Edward Miles.

The old lady who penned the following
"wigging " knew how to make her strokes
effective; all her piety, however, failed to
reconcile her to the fact that " drars " had
not been paid for.

MY DEAR GRANDAUGHTER, I have ben Long in
