his glass, "what you might call 'a bashful alms'

"I hail noticed at dinner that a pale, meek appear.

her attentions likely t• prove a rival, but I felt that

Pei. Whetatnne of Arkansas, was ones traveling
On horseback through the interior of the State, and
called one evening to stay all night at a little log
house near the road, where entertainment and a
post-office were kept. Two other strangers_ were
there, and the mail ridrui rode nn abunt dark. Sup
per being ever, the soil *artier and the three gen
tlemen were invited into a small room furnished
with a rwel fire and two bed.. which were to ac

The other two gentlemen took the hint and oc
cupied one of the beds together immediately, leav

.Pete,and the mail boy together as beat they could.
Pete and the boy both commenced hauling off their
duds. and Pete getting into the bed first, and wish.
jog to get rid .•f sleeping with the boy, remarked
very earnestly friend, I tell you before-hand.

Pete. who pitched out in as great a hurry as if he

their buries, and, though it was nearly: ten o'clock.

that immense boast, in lea than Ave Suadaye, so
that there will not be s standing place for the ipost
curious and persevering." The man looked with
all his worldly wisdom at me. At length I asked
him how it could be done. "Well, sir," said the
man. "inn must say something nr do something to
which the multitude would like to listen. Com
mon sense preaching, and simple hearted desire to
do good, is not the thing. Now, sir, pot an adver

In the - new work entitled "The Rector of St.
Bardolphs," is the following graphic description of
the node of sicging a hymn "in fugue," u prac
tised at St. Be rdol ph's
6 6 When you hear the brass nags rattle over the
ire* rdd to which the curtain was attached, shutting
tip thstcheirlsiers in the seclusion of their parched
op Infii‘lata you might know that POMP rand et
p'oits of vocalism were to come oil% The sexton
WIMP had been despatched in god season to the
“sacriaty,n:to obtain from the rector the number of
the pellet and hymn, having returned with a small
slip of papt4 on which they were indicaltd in pen
cil, a great ?whispering and consultation having ta
ken place, eshich resulted in the selection of tunes,
Mr. Tubingen placed the music books oe the rack,
and the bellows of the little•big organ were pot in
pi.ay. Never was a more brilliant sparkle ant scin
tillation elicited from the windy bellows of a black
solidi's forge. The head aid Shots% era of the or
ganists swayed up and down like those of a Chinese
eater of the narcotic drug, in the accompaniment of
■n improvisation upon the keys, which made the
whole congregation involuntarily twist their necks
and look aloft, and at last, vith a full choral Wait
from tenor, bass, and treble, the magical effect was
consulte e.
That. were no doubt, many present who earn.
expressly to " hear the music," and the knowledge
of this fact inspired the artists with a desire to i. o
themselves justice. It is trip some of the old peo
df
pie di ' ot like the concatenation of sounds. These,
howev , were considered behind. the age, and the
°Oink , of such as worthy of small respect in the on
ward march of improvement. They were swept
away in the slender opposition by the falcon( public
opinion, if not only by a whirlwind of sound. At
any rate, Death Wig - fast removing - them, one by one,
while their deaf ears were becoming sealed to such
annoyance. It was to the great surprise of the
Rector that the choir one day struck npon the Te
Drum, which he had been hitherto accustomed to
iiiif, iddllitatifb - #lCifilia' turns, and Windings, and
repetition 4, they diaclitiradd upon it for a full half
hour. It was, however, the last time that they sn
distinguis' , ed themielves before the musical world.
There was on piece of cathedral composition which
the choir at St. Bardolph's did not consider them
salve, ennapetent to perform. and had-titer been al
lowed their own way, would have sung the sermon,
and made more out of the Amen than any other part.
Mr. Wane hid indeed composed something Griffinsl
not of the t theme of - an Airmen full fifteen minutes
inn. and we are sure that when it was finished no
hearer of sound jodynent, but would haw* instinct
ively ejaculated with his whole heart, Atcsataa !
But the triumph of all the vo'ces was in some of the
Ares !ones in which they emulated to interrupt end
°mot riG each other, as in the one hundred and thirty
third psalm ;

*No. XIX," of the "Chaplsis, of the New York

The Devil'• mad and. I am glad—
He's lost the man he thought be had,
Whip the Devil round a stump,
Give Lim a kick at every jump !
Mr FLOCIL—About half the ecclesiastical world
have devoted time that might have been spent tied
vintage, in splitting shingle*, to prove to you the
existeuce of an ugly rascal whom they call a Devil,
and to warn you against his machinations and devi
ces; while they maul with both hands pointing him,
out to you, like a Corporation lantern, bong out over
a dat.gerous gullet' bole.
My hearers, in the beginning was made Heaven
and cart h i but when his Satanic Majesty was cres
ted, we can no more 10, :him we can divine the
precise period when the cuateuts of 'a fresh lard
Rouse-egsramexinvierted into ae unhatched gosling,
sinless woflrst break through the "Melt. According
to the character Oren of this Mr. Satan by many
of my cotemporarie*, he is an exceedingly vicious
customer, combining the kick-tip behind activeness
of the kicks**, with the prowling propensities of the
wharf rat, while his breath is said to be more odo
rous than a dozen brimstone match factories iu full
operation. We are told, moreover, that• lie is ma
nipresent, and that while he is whispering deviltry
in the ear of some poor fellow_ at the North Pole,
the is also inciting a citizen of Ballyalouggathery to
crack his' wife's skull with a peat shovel; and at
he sa me time on the opposite 'ids of the channel,
is urging a b'ingry Dutchman to purloin a quantity ,
of newly made sour-krout from.a cook shop window.!
He is said to be fond of the fair-sex also, Wihth is:
about the only good trait his character contains, andi
vet he frequently-brings them down where sorrow
reigns eternal, acid all is gloomy as a black tom cat!
In a dark garret. He
.is restless and vagabond ink
his habits, and as uneasy as a porcupine with ai
chronic diarrlicet, so that it seems you are all requir-,
ed to watch his motions, as the school boy dodgesi
the ferule .f his schoolmistress. Now my dear hear-i
ere, all this may be true, it really is of little import'
of us, whether it be so or not, for we certainly are
as much our own Titters, as is a runaway monkey:
and Beelzebub can Do more control us against our
own will, than a lassie gander can dance a inesour-i
basin the ice. If you find this individual whisper
ing damnation in your ears, all you have to do is to
hit hiui a square toel kick upon the posteriori, andi
with characteristic cowardice, he'll make himself as
scarce as water in a leaky bucket! My brethren;
the devil consorts not with the just; his influence,
rolls off the good-man's heat, like water from
cabbage leaf. To him. Satanic con'act is no
lutien, fur it girds the belt of Faith more tightly
around him, and gives him brighter laurels. Indeed
I should not be surprised if there were many devils,
for bad brandy is certainly one, and tobacco is per
haps another; but gambling and naughty women

NUMBER 46.
Eommising out of the Poor.
' M. is the widow of a respectecle mechanic, will
four little ehihlren dependant upon her labor. Grief
and privations, to which she has not grown accus
tomed, have inspireil her strength ; but she must
stand at the wash-tub, or her little ones - starve.—
Her neat room has lost, one by one, its reliitmof bet
ter days; her last bedstead has been turned into
bread. "I couldn't help it," she said, "the children .
must be fed, and provisions are so high that ill the
little ones can earn goes no way." I found hr the
other day surreunded by an assortment of iewly
ironed, snow white garment., the %vic's artiiles of
a lady's wardrobe, of the most refined textures and
styles -indeed, I never saw under-clothes so laden
with ruffles, laces and embroidering,. I thought
all this work a good sign, and tdld her so. M. lift
ed her head from the intricacy of plaits led edgings,
with which she was busy, to answer Me. - " Yes,
to be sure; I'm glad Ware the washing, but their
there's so much trimming on the things they get a
great deal of time to get up.." remarked that this
I
need not concern her, supposin ' she was paid pro
portionately ; and then I learn d that the lady had
stipulated to pay one-third leas hen the established
price for what she calls the plain things, and
ione
sixth less for the moreelaborat'. "I told her," M.
continued, " what--was the amid charge, but she said
'she never gave more, and t et plenty of women
would be glad to do it for the s roe." "But did you
tell her of-these hungry Wee . ys , and of your great
necessity!" "She knows it 11—but half a loaf is
better than none, and I was elfraid of making her
angry, s.nd losing the work altogether. And she's
the elevates% dressed lady—she must be very rich."
"Well, these shirts yonder, yiar get your full price
for them!'' "No, they belong to the two gentle
men i 1 t..... Hotel. But they *ill only pay me five
shilling' a dozen, though the Men in the: next room
here, whose wife is sick and cant do his trashing,
always gives me six." (A man of the poor woman's
class, bat-seemingly better Instructed doer' his su
periors, in the golden rule of doing as we would be
done undo.)
N. is a young dress-maker, skillful encinzh to
make fashionable dresses, and poor enough to make
them at fashitlitable prices; at least at charges not
much more than a quarter of what a Broadway ar:
date would demand. She has a sick husband and
a nursing infant. The poor babe lies from morning
to might, encased im its cradle, I might rather say
its coffin, and is rocked by the mother's font, while
she sews, instead of being fondieJ in the arms, as
babies, poor as well as rich, crave to be. -II know
the number of N.'s patroits has increasedlof late.
have hoped from it-a little allowance of healthful
air and exercise for both mother and child; end this
might be, she admits, but that so many ladies "cut
Own bei.bills." "Miss —, and Miss --;—, and .
Mrs. always take something off, and if I should
ray anything they would only take the work awiy,
there arc so many ready to do it at almost any price.
"I don't think the ladies mean to be unkind," poor
N. reasons, "but they do:i't think. .Only the other
day, after agreeinz with me that I shliAl make her
dress at quite a low price, Miss recollected that
she would like some trimmings down the front, and
sent me the stuff for them, which it took me fire
hours to make tip, yet she never gave me anything
for extra work."
Aid so it is al nost continually. In washing,
sewing. house-cleaning and whatever other employ
ment there may be to which poor desolate women
are driven for a subsistence, the very necessities of
the class are, unthinkingly, made an argument fur
oppre.ising them. We pay the one or two who
coin in our way less than the rightful price of their
labor, because there are so many whose absolute
destitution would make them thankful to &Litte
work for still less. Fur our Insurits we economise
out of their utter want. Oh, Christian lady, nursed
in superfluity, would not something more, rather
than an iota less than the just equivalent, be the
righteous measure! Yowdepriciate the competition
in trade which makes the starving prices of the shirt
sewers, cap-makers, umbrella- . stitchers, fie., as you
well may, but have you never thought that in under
paying your poor employee you are guilty of a wrong
the same in kind, if not so great in degree? “What
mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces and grind
the faces af the poor, saith the. Lord God of Hosts.'
Isaiah iii. 15.—Ernner1ical
Something that Should have been a Man.
"There goes something that. should have been s
man," exclaimed a friend.
The poor wretch was just- leaving a low grog
shop. A tall form with a massive great chest a no
ble brow, with a shod of frizzled grey hair—eyes,
deep, dark and lusttons noce—now, still deep, but
sepulchral, and burning like smouldering urea upon
red altars...lmb.
_sonde the sum, bodily, of that
something that should have been a man.
But once to trace his career.
A beautiful babe pressed fonJly tq the breast ola
joyous mniher. Clinging to her neck, playing with
tier ringlets—all innocence—filling the house with
tho music of his I ,ugh.
A :ovely boy towards whom all eyes arts turned;
his face bright with enthusiasm, his brew curved
with intellect—wending his way to the little school
and there winning prizes—perhaps silver medals.--
So in the play ground, the king among his fellows:
vivacious, full of fun and repaitee, eager et play.—
Hear the ring of his glad shout!
A youth, already singling his gentle, bluened
partner from the band of school girls; such ardent
spirits.seek fur the frail clinging of graceful vines;
strangely enough. A youth sipping, at small par.
ties, the bright hued wine, and poetizing upou the
frothy pearls that fleck its surface.
A young man—how the words leap to paper.
How much of strength, what hennaing eyes, what
high resolves, and proud starlit gs frir fume! What
yearnings to be rich! what hopes Of happietes! what
dreaminge of the future! what Mines of gold, what
heights of greatness! what excess of joy, those tbreq
little words conjure before the mind!
"A young in:In!" (11, they mean, to be drunken?
to be pour? to be di: honored? to have the nearest
and dearest loathe your presence? to have children
laugh and point the finger at you? to strike ii•vrn
helpless w, man? to deform innocent children? to
turn home into worse than a bawling desert?
0!• assuredly not.
Nor does he think en, while he leans back in the
gorgeous saloon, and amid flashing lights, and the
bewilderment of beauty, aided by every &miller., takes
to beam, to his soul—hugging it as a nzisertiugs
his treasure—that fiend that desolates.
Well! time has passed swiftly; the brand is burnt
out; it is charred and blackened; theater has fallen
from the heaven of home.
He bickers. he quarrels; he toughs with silty
!Perini, and kicks at the I armlessibairs and tables.
He roars. that you may roar him back; and think*
it wit. If his wife -imiles hecurssis her; if bhe geta
him s supper mit of her poor petting., he curses
her; and if she cannot get him a supper. or a fire.
still he curses her. It is cursino, cursing. sod go.
ing to grog shims, and coming hums to curie again.
from morning till night.
Alas! poor dreamt. Whrrerever you behold
him, % - au rev Hoemititag that attaald hate lama
