There are in India to-day eight thousand widows bctwocn the ages of six and sixteen years I From the custom of early marriages in India arise th© worse features of Hindoo widowhood; for many a child becomos a widow before alio reaches the age of seven years. It may 1 o that the child has nover lived with her husband ; and yot custom forbids her over marrying again. From the hour of her widowhood hor life becomes ono of misery. H'.io lnt* no sympathy from friends, not oven from monitors of her own family. She is bereft of nil her 0991 amOttta ; her liair is cut off; sho'U clothed in the commonest opparol and acts in the capacity of a menial for all the household. Her jewels, which she valued. so much in thodaysof her pride, arc no longer upon her person. She can never wear them again, nover wear a nice dross, or cat other than given quau titles oi food.

OAK HALL. PHILADELPHIA. jjl ,,, ! Worth Knowing , 0 There is a place in Philadelphia where a stranger may buy his clothes, and fare as well as if he knew the whole city by heart ; and if he knows nothing about the value of cloths, or of clothes, he is as well off, as if he were a good judge of both. The reason is that everything to be found there is made there — made and sold under a system which rarely allows mistakes to occur, and which corrects them, if they do occur. Oak Hall is the place; and its practice may be summed up in a few words. If you get there what you Ndon't want to keep at the price, you return it, and get your money back. This means a great deal more than appears on the surface. It means that you are not going to get what you will not want to keep at the price, if the merchant can help it It means that the clothes you get there will be of honest cloths, honestly made; and that they will cost you less than as good clothes can be got for elsewhere. It means that they will be every way better worth your money than you can get elsewhere for the same money. If it means anything less than these tilings — if it means poor cloths, trimmings, cutting, sewing, or in any way dishonest or illiberal dealing; the return of his goods will plague the merchant, injure nis credit, and dissipate Jus trade. If it means these things — if it means liberal and honor-

1 "< able dealing, valuable and safety facetting k Oak Hall is the place f;r you to go to, or to send to; and it is worth your while to know how you can send, if it is inconvenient to go. Wifye; f*y what your occupation is ; say what sort of use you intend to make of the clothes you want, whether lor every-day wear or otherwise; what color you prefer, or what color to avoid ; say about what you want to pay t say everything that you think may aid a stranger in choosing for you. You will get in reply samples of cloths and prices of whatever you want made from those cloths. You will get also the means of having your measure taken by an unskilful person. There is only one difficulty left. Somebody has got to take the risks of the dealing ; for there are risks. Send your money along with your order. That covers the risk as to your good faith. We risk everything else ; the fit, and your satisfaction every way. Our trade by mail amounts to half a million dollars a year ; there's no reason why it shouldn't amount to five millions. © Wanamaker
