The working woman uf America is tbe noblest and purest and best of ber iv She is honest, industrious, true and brave. She fnces tlisoouragemonti that would send men to tho rum.ihop or ou the road as tramps. Sho haa a pa tience that would adorn an angel, a fidelity that would become a saint, and is altogether too good for the average man to whom she becomes tied. If she knew ou which side her bread was buttered Bhe would let him shift for himself, and pnrsue tbe unincumbered tenor of ber even and excellent way alone.— Lincoln (Nth.) Journal.
