A NEW FASHIONED GIRL.
♦ She lmrl a grout and varied know l«dge, picked up at a female college, of quadratics, hydrostatics, and pm qinatics, very v«^st.
Sue was stnff-d with erudition as you stuff a leather cushion, with all the ologies of the colleges and the knowledge of the past. . She had studied the old lexicons of ! Peruvians and Mexicans, their j theology, anthropology, and geology, o'er and o'er. She knew all the forms and features of the prehistoric creatures, cychyosaurnsplesiojsaurus.tuegalo* saurus, ami many more. She knew all the mighty giants and the master minds ot' science, all the learning that was turning in the Miming miu<l ot' man. But she couldn't prepare ft di-mer for a gaunt and hungry sinner, or get np a decent supper for her poor \orueions papa, for she never was constructed on the obi domes-ti-plan.
