A ladj ccnpondent of the Muaonri Demo
.rat in ft letter to that paper qu . the subject of
female employment, saya
. As to'sewing .women, J witt, cite onf instance,
tiougii there, are hundreds., JTwojpung gtrK
whom I know, work m a down-town shopand
oaxe pantaloons, at tweniy-nve; wd e lar.
This is all the manufacturers will pay. By ciuae,
steady application by toiling from early morn
till the darkness of the . night they can make
t?o pirs each day, or twelve pairs ft week, all
f;r three, dollars, or fifty cents per day. Now,
li they have tjo j homea--no parents they must
:eda board, and at what price, 3ir Editor, can
t' ey obtain board in respectable families V ' xovtr
their work,'"uiind you: ! so where' ia the other
dollar to come from? Whence their clothing?
And to earn this, paltry three dollars takes their
every hour of daylight Where is the time to
feed tSeir' minds ? In some shops they make
lined jeans pantaloons for tweuty cents a pair,
and itill people, think the poor creatures make
money at that price. What a preposterous idea!
A lady correspondent of the New York Star
reports that MrsJ A. makes vests at eighteen
cents a piece, for a wholesale house. She can
earn eight dollars month by working- fourteen
hourr a day, including Sundays. She pays three
dollars a month for her attic, and has two small
children to support. She has eaten meat once
only and . then ! it was "riven to her since
Thanksgiving day. Another case: Kate A., a
"finisher" of fine jshirts. makes about two dollars
a week, working hard for it. She has a rrand
mother tdsupportjand ''has often lived for weeks,
on bread and water, in j order to afford the old
woman a little broth every day." j
Is there a negro in the South that fares as badly
as some of the Northern' white people!
Practising Deception.
' There is a large class of deceptions which are
pleaded and extenuated, such as telling lies to
children add telling lies to sick persons. I set
my self against the! whole of the miserable tribe
ot" wicked uesis. j A lie told to a child is a mon
strous thing.1 abhor it. And vet lies are
told to the children as thick as cloves are stuck
in hams when dressed ' for a 'public occasion.
Your child is sick,' and you bring him a portion
and say, lt is good my dear, it is good," when
it is bitter as gall". You are not only a liar, but
iool.- 1 be child learns after a little time not
only that the mediciue is not gotid, but that the
truth is not to be regarded, x ou not only give
the; child an odious dose of medicine, but you
give him a more odious dose of morals." You
lunoculate him with a! spirit of lyius from- the
beginningi 1 think we cannot be too careful to
j speak theirnthi and jpfCodam
TAslEothe ifekk, I do not belfeve itnecessary "'" tii
tell them all the truth.; But a doctor is not justi
fied in lying to his patient.". It is easy for hihi
to say to the person who6e case he has undertaken
"Yiu mubt have confidence in me." But if he
says anything, let him Say the truth. It may
excite ine patient, or may not; out n exciiauiiity
is a reason tor not telling the truth, then it is
not! a reason for1 deception. : 1 think that such
persons are oftentimes injured by being deceived.
1 think there is( a great deal of cruelty practiced
toward sick people in this way. ! And i think it
is a' shame' to let people uo biiudf Utd down to
death, and drop! off) with out' a single word for
t-ar.wiey wui do tujurea ii ine trntn is u.ia tnem.
I think if a person is going io diu he has a' right
to know it. 1 1 do not, therefore, believe in tell
ing; lies to sick folks. Beh het,

lived two' little sisters in the town
of T . i 1 hy loved each other (dearly, as
sisters and brothers should always do. As they
were playing one evening on the pavement be-
bre their father s door.; the little one, whom we
will call "Brown-eyes,"; threw a pebble, ! which,
unfortunately, hit the elder sister, whom we will
call "Blue eyes." Several gentlemen standing
near, seeing the accident, expected to hear -a loud
scream and an angry voice saying: "You ugly

pose I know you did, you mean ugly thing;

these gentlemen heard nothing of the kind.; For
a moment little' Blue-eyes stood, ready to , cry;
for to be hit by a pebble hurts. As I said. -Blue-eyes
stood, for a moment, looking at pcxir Brown
eyes; then she ran' to h-er, threw her arms around
her; and said: jj "Doutlcry, little sister; I know
you didn't mean to hit ;me. Kissme, dear." and
embraced each jother fondly. The gentleman
who! saw the little ones! told their father of it.
adding: Webever sew anything like. that bo
fore." Alas! and is sisterly and brotherly love
and forbearance so rare; a thing that the Joving
sister's conduct should call forth a reiriark like
that ? Dear children,! !d.o be kind and loving to

Having witnessed the remarkable cures and aston
ishingly beneficial results of I treating diseases by
VAqCUM. with Dr. Hadgfield's EQUALIZER, we
have been induced to purchase the Patent-Right, to
gether with a complete set of instruments (at heavy
expense) believing as we do that the results (from
tho application of this SCIENTIFIC APPARATUS
to the treatment of the many diseases that ca sot,
or hiitk mot. been cured by medicines adminiatered
hv the moat learned and skillful physician) will ire-
ward us for our servieeai No scientific"; phyaieian
will Vlehy the correctness of the principle employed
but must confess that it has.not been used in conse
quence of thei enormous expense incurred, and the
poor remuneration for services j thus rendered, and
ia consequence (thereof, substitutes of a very in
ferior character have been adopted. , j . j ,
We do not propose employing this truly valuable
and scientific instrument a a humbugging machine,
in consequence of its novelty, f but simply as an Jn
aloable auxiliary in the treatment of diseases, on
