here and there with threads of rosy gold. The waters of

After a little, symptoms of aroused life:bee:me visible
about the wharves. Grocers, carmen Band huckster wo

came theatres of active bustle. •
The first market opened that day was in F ilton street.

beef, hampers of fruit, heaps of InsciOus butter, cage's of
poultry, canary birds fp - arming in their weary prisons.

hard at work, filled the spacious arena, but late a range .
of ailing, naked and gloomy looking stalls. Vert, carts,
laden and groaning beneath a weight of food, cumo roll
ing up to this great mart, crowding each avenue with
,fresh supplies—now all was life and eagerness. Stout
men and bright faced women moved through the
,ver.
dant chaos, arranging, working, chatting, and full of life
and enterprise. while the rattling of c l ans outside, and the
jirithr i al accumulation of sounds evervwhere, bespoke a
groat city aroused like a giant iefresketi by slumber.
Slowly there arose out of this chcurful confusion forms
of homely beauty, that an artist or a thinking man might
have loved to look upon. The butcher's stalls, but late a
desolate range of gloomy beams, now reddening with
fresh joints, and many of them festooned with fragrant
branches and gorgeous garden ilowcis, and tine butchers .
standing each by his stall, with snow white apron, and'
•n eager, joyous look of traffic on his facb, formed a dis
play of comfort and plenty, both picturesque and pleasant*
to contemplate.
Tho fruit anti vegetable stands wece now loaded with
damp, green vegetables, each humble root having its own
peculiar tint, and often arranged with a singular taste
for color, unconsciously possessed by the woman who ex
ercised her little skill in setting oil her stand to advan
tage.
-There was ono vegetable stand to which we would
draw this reader's particular attentio i n, not exactly as a
typo of the others.for there was somethinz, so unlike all
the rest, both in this stand and its occupant, that it would
have drawn the attention of any person, possessed of the
slightest artiatical taste. itwas like the arrangement of
a picture, that long table heaped with fruit, the freshest
vegetables, and the brightest flowersJ ready for the day's
traffic. The rich - scarlet radishes glowing up through
their foliage of tender green:, young onions swelling out
from their long emerald stalks, snowy and transparent
almost as so many great pearls; turnips, sca'rcely larger
than a hon's egg, and almost as white, just taken fresh
and fragrant from the soil; tieing of l i tuee in a rich heap
of crisp and greenish gold, piled against the deep black
ish grtien of spinach and water-cresses, all moist with
dew, or trot with bright water-drops that had supplied its
place, and taking a deeper tint from the golden contrast.

soil, would have Made an object platiant to look upon,
independent of the fine old woman who sat complacently
on her little stool, tit' one end of the table, in tranquil ex
pectation of customers that' worn sure to drop in as the
morning deepened.
And now the traffic of the day c4inenced in earnest.
Servants, housekeepers and grocers swarmed into the
market. The clink of money: the sound of sharp, eager
banter; the dull noise of the butcher's cleaver were
, heard on every hand. It was a cheferful scene, for ev
ery face looked smiling and happy. The soft morning
i air seemed to have brightened all things' into cheerful
ness. Among the earliest group that entered - Fulton
market that morning was a little girl; perhaps ten or elev
en years old, but tiny in her form, end appearing even
more juvenile than that. A pretty quilted hood of rose
i colored calico was turned back from her face, which
seemed naturally delicate and pale; l)itt the fresh rtir, and
perhaps a shadowy reflection from !her - houd, gave the
glow of a rose-bud to her cheeks. till theme was-anx

'was altogether unaccustomed to tha scene, and had no

At length die child was crowing pale, end her eyes
turned with a sort of sharp anxiety from one face to an
other, when suddenly they fell upon the buxom old huck
ster woman, whose stall we have described. There was
something in the • good dame's appearance that brought
an eager and satisfied look to the child.' Sho•drew close
to the stand, and stood for some seconds gazing timidly
on the old woman. It was a pleasant face. and a - com
fortable, portly form enough that the little girl gazed up
on. Smooth and comely were the full and rennsled
cheeks, with their rich autumn color dimpled like an
over-ripe apple. Fat and good humored enough to defy
wrinkles, the taco looked far too rosy for 'the thick, grey
hair that was shaded, not cottcealed, by a cap ofsnow
white !mishit,. with a broad, deep border, and tubs that
met like a snowy girth to support the firm, double.chin.
Never did your eyes dwell upon a chin, so full of health
and good humor as that. It sloped with a slick, smiling
grace down from tho plump mouth and rolled in a soft,
white wave into the neck, scarcely leaving an outline, or
the want of oho before it was lost in the waves IA that
muslin kerchief, folded so neatly beneath the ample bo
som of her gowh. Then the broad linen apron of blue
and white check girding her waist, and flowing over the
smooth rotundit lof a person that was a living proof of
the ripeness and wholesome state of her merchandize. I
tell you, reader, that woman, take her for all in all, was
one to draw tho attention. ay, and the love of a child,
who had come forth barefooted and alone in search of
kindness.
-
occupied by the huckster women._ Here she began to
slacken hor paco and look about her with no inconsidera
ble anxiety.
"What do you want. little girl; anything is my way?"
was repeated to her onee'or twice as she moved forltard.
At cacti of these challenges she would pause,.loolt ear
nestly into the face of the speaker, and then pass on with
a faint wave of the head, that expressed something of sad
and timid disappointment.
At. length the huckster ; Woman saw the child gazing
upon her with a look so earnest that she was quite startled
by it. She ah+o Caught a glance at the empty basket, and
her little brown oyes . twinkled at the promise of a now
customer.
"Well, my dear, what do you want this morning?" she
'moothing her apron with a • pair of plump, little
eating a well satisfied look over her slaitd,
and tht.ll :La chi;(l, who grew pale at her notice, and
began to tremble visibly--,"all sorts of vegotables, you kce
—flowers—strawberries,—radishos—what will you have,
child?"
The little girl crept round to where the woman Mood,
and speaking in a low, frightened voice, saisi—
"Please ma'am, I want :ion to trust me!"
"Trust you!" said the woman, with a soft laugh, that
shriek her double chin, and dimpled her cheeks. "Why
1 don't know you, httlo ono—what on earth do you want
trust for? Lost the market money, hey, and afraid of a
scolding—is that it?"
"No, no, 1 haven't lost my money," said the child.
eagerly; "please ma'am just stoop down one minute,
while 1 tell you!"
The little girl iii her earnest way took hold of the wo
man's apron, and she, kind souk sunk back to her stool:
it was the moat comfortable way of listening.
”1-4 live with grandfather and grandmother; ma'rn;
they aro old, and poor—you don't know how poor; , for

something to . do, but you see how little 1 am; nobody will

: .
"Poor thing!" muttered the inickiter woman, "poor
thing!"
inVin, I must do cnnothing. I can boar any
thing lictter than seeinglhem hungry. Last night I did
not sleep a wink all night, but kept thinking what I should
do. I never begged in my life; they never did, and it
made me feel sick to think of RI but I could have done
It rather than see them sit and look at each other so piti
ful another day. Did you over see an old man cry for
hunger, ma'in?"
."No no God forbid!" answered the dame, brushing a
plump hand across her eyes.
"I have," said the child with a sob, "and it was this
that made me think that begging, after all, was not so
very mean. So, this morning, I asked the'm to let me
go out; but grandpa said he might go himself, like were
strong enough; but I never should—never—never!"
"Nice old man—nice old man!" said the huckster wo-
man.
"1 did not ask again," realigned the child, "for an idea
had come into my head in the night. I hnvo seen little
gir's, no older thandl am, selling radishes and strawber- 1
ilea, and things."
"Yes—yes, I understand!" said the old woman, and
her eyes began to twinkle the more brightly that they
were wet before. . 4
"But I had no strawberries to sell, not a cent of nmoy
to buy them with!"
"Weil! well!" 2
"Not even a basket!"
"Poor thing!"
"But I was determined to do something. So I went-to
a grocery store where grandpa need to buy things when
ho had money. and they trusted mo With this basket:" — ~
"That was very kind in them!"
"Washit it verY kind!" said the child, her eyes bright
ening,'"especially us I told them it Was all myself--that
grandpa knew nothing about it. See what a nice now
basket it is-:-you can't thick how much courage it gave
me. When I came into the market it seemed as if I
should'igt be afraid to ask any lady about trusting me a
!ittle"
"And yet you came clear to this side without stopping
to ask any lady!" •
' "I was looking in their faces to see if It would do,"
answered thechild with meek simplicity, "but there was
something in every face that sent - the words back into
my throat again."
"So you stopped here because it was almcist the • last
/land." -
"No, no. I did not think of that;' said thechild, eager
ly. "I stopped because something seemed to tell me
that this was the place. 1 thought if you would net trust
me, you would at least be patient and listen."
The old huckster wetna I laughed—a low; soft laugh
--:and the little girl began to errata through her tears.—
Inger° was something mellow and comfortable in that
chuckle, that warmed he the heart;
"So you wore sure that I Would trust .you—hey, quite
use I"
..I thought if you wouldhat there was no chance for

yes to the face of the matron. '
Again the old Woman laughed.

As the good woman spoke, she was buiy selecting the
SATURDAY MORNING,' JAN'

little baskets that stood at her elbow. These she arrang.
ed in the orphan's basket, first sprinkling a layer of damp,
fresh grass in the bottom. and interspersing the whole
with young grape leaves, intended both as an embellish.
ment, and to keep the fruit fresh and cool. When alt
was arranged to her satisfaction, she laid a bouquet of
white and crimson moss rose buds at each end of the
basket, and interspersed little tufts of violets along• the
side, till the crimson berries were wreathed in with flow.
Ors. •
"There." said the old woman, lifting up tht, basket
with sigh of satisfaction, "between the fruit and flow
ers you must make out, Sell the berrries for sixpence a
basket, and the roses for all you can get. People who
love flowers well enough to' buy them, never cavil about
the price, just let them pay what they like." ,
The little girl took the basket on her arm; her pretty
mouth grow tremulous and bright as the moss rose•bud
that trembled against her hand, her eyes wore filled with
tears.
"Oh,.nuem, I want to thank you so much, only ! don't
know how," she said,in a voice that went to the good
old woman's heart.
"Thtire, there!—hover mind—be punctual, that's a
good girl. Now, my dear, what is your name?"
"Julia—Julia Warren, mem!"
"A pretty name 7 vory well—but stop, stop a ,moment,
I had forgotten."
The child sat her basket down upon the stool Which
the huckster woman hastily vacated, and waited patieM
ly while the good dame disappeared in some unknown
region, of the market, eager to accomplish an object that
had just preiented itself to her mind.
"Here," she said, coming back with her-face all in a
gldw, a small, tin pail in one hand, and her apron' gaih
ored up in the other. 'Just leave the sttberrice, and
run home with these. It will be a long tiye for the old

“Strawberries!—strawberrios!”
Little Julia Warren turned pale, and looked around
like a frightened bird when this sweet • cry first broke
from her lips in the open street. Nobody seemed to hear
her, that was ono comfort, so she hurried round a corner
and creeping into the shadow of a house, leaned, all in a
tremor, against an iron railing, quite confident, for the
moment, that she should never find courage to opOn her
mouth again. But a little reflection gave her strength.—
Mrs. Gray had told her that the s i l l orning washer harvest
hour. She could not stand there rembling beneath the
weight of her basket.' The fruity seent—the flagrant
breath of the violets that floated up from it seemed to re
preach her. v

those red lips more cheerily now, hero was riporical in
the very tones t h at put you in mind of the fruit itselfor—
The cry was neither loud nor shrill, but somehow peo
ple, were struck by it', and turned;unconsciously to look
upon the child, This gave her fresh courage, for 'the
glances were all kind, and as she became acctistomed to
her own voice, the novelty of her position hiatus to lose
its terror. A woman called to her from the area. of a
house, and purchased two baskets of the strawberries,
without asking any reduction in the 'price. Poor child,
how her heart leaped when the shilling was placbd in her
band. How Important:the whole transaction seemed to
her, yet with what isolifferenco the woman paid for iher
strawberries and turned to carry them into the basement.

"A few years ago,•there was a handsome and elegant
man in Washington city. says the Philadelphia Saturda •
Courier, "engaged as a dancing-master." At the break
ink out of the Mexican ivar, he put by "the fiddle an
the bow," and entered the service as a'eaptain of Nissen
volunteers. Ho showed that he was ready at the char
as "the hcassez at "forward all," as "forward two,".an
soon won a high reputation as a gallant officer. He ha
now boon appointed professor of cavalry tactics in th
Military_Aeadettl it West feint."
Mona. Korponay was, at one time we believe, attacJi
ed to the Austrian' service, and 'held the position of
captain of hussars.' In consequence of his having been
engaged in several duels, he was obliged to • abdicate,
and migrate to the United Slates. Landing in this coati;
try without means, he found himself compelled to re
sort to those accomplishments which he possessed, for
maintenance. Accordingly, he commenced the business
of a dancing-master, and was the fire! to introduce the
"polka." lie also danced upon the public stage; and,
we well recollect that ho volunteered his services to add
to the attractions of the last benefit that the late and re
vered Edmund ,Simson ever took at the Park Theatre.—
AS a soldier, he was as brave as he was accomplished,
and rendered good service in the Mexican war)
A little period after Monsieur Korponay arrived in this
country, another distinguished foreigner made his ap
pearance among us. Ho was fxSaxon Baron, and was
here-known as Frederick Herman.
The baron was a captain of hussars. At the time of I
the Rouge riots, at Leipsic, be was placed lit command
or the citidal of that city. lie was instructed to order
the dispersion of the - mob, and if they did not retire, to
discharge a par!, of blank artillery over their heads; and
if-thoy did not then retire, to give them u fullyolley of
grape. The baron thought it best to let the grape fly
first, and give the Mink afterwards. Fallowing out this
view 6f the case, he killed upwards of two hundred peo
ple, at "one fell swoop." " '
,For this act, ho was court martialtNl, and ordered to
eipatriate himself for the period of two successive years.
The affair cost biro throe or four duels, in every one of
which he killed his man.
