thought it was best to tell the wool and buy our cloth. The eirls aaid it wbs too

hard work for thero to spin and weave, and that it was out of fashion, and ought

not to be done, when there were so many factories. So they persuaded me to sell

the wool, for they said Miss Finesse was

going to open a school at the tillage for youne ladies to learn drawing and the

French language, and they must attend,

and, therefore, could not spin the wool, and that John was going to the seminary

this fall, and intended to keep school next winter, and he calculated to have a suit of broadcloth. So I found that I must sU my wool or hire to get it spun and

wove, and that is impossible, for there are no girls, that are able to spin and weave in these days of refinement. So I crammed my wool in a large sack for

market. 1 he girls said if 1 was going down they would go with me, for they wanted to get a few 'notions to equip them for their school. I expostulated with them to know what advantage it

could be for farmers daughters to learn to jabber French (It is true, they said, they were farmer's daughters, but were in hopes not to be farmers' wives;) they

said it was fashionable for ladies to talk French, and they would jabber together a whole afternoon, and make remarks on whom and what they pleased, and the company would know nothing what they

said. As to the expense, they thought 1 could afford it as well as 'squire Petti fegger, his daughters were going, and

we well knew that all the money he gets is for making writs, and that, they say, has almost failed him. So the girls must go and get their "notions" the old mars was harnessed into the chaise which 1 bought a fevr years since, for the women

publisher in fulfiling his contracts with hi patrons, as regards its contents and embel

lishments, and are sufficient with those at all acquainted with the work, to show its true character. The constantly increasing patronage besto ed upon the Casket, has enabled the publisher to add considerably to its valae. Its typographical appearance ii

equal to any American periodical, and tho volume commenced with January, 1833, as regards its appearance, quantity and quality of its embellishments, literary contents, fee, will render it the cheapest periodical of the kind in the country. The facilities for obtaining good matter for the work, have greatly inc reased of late. Many of the best Kuropean Magazines, as well as the best American periodicals, are regularly received for the esjieeial use of the Casket. Selections from all are made with great care. To secure original contributions of talent, and to diversity our pages, the publisher has paid one iiusnRLij dollars for a Prize Tale, together with libe

The subjects cf the engravings will consist, as here tofore, of Portraits of distinguished individuals; plates of the New Fashions, both e f F.uioptr and America; striking and interesting views cf American Scenery?
