WOMAN'S RIGHTS.
A mill overseer discharged a boy the other day. The next morning a determinded-looking woman appeared in the mill office and wanted to see the overseer, and he came out to see her. Opening the door, in came the ugliest bulldog that the overseer aver saw, and the dog sidled up to the woman. " Did you discbarge my boy ?" asked the womau. "Yes, ma'am." "Be you goin' to take him back ?" asked she. The overseer looked at the woman and the dog, and the latter began to lick his chops. 'Ma'am,' said he 'is that you dog ?' 'Yes, sir,' said tho woman, 'he is ; and, sir, be you a-going to take in) boy back ?' The dog growled, and the overseer said. 'Yes, ma,am. Your boy can come back in the morning," and then the dog winked his left eye wickedly (so the overseer avers) and the woman and the dog went out together.
