I was standing in the broad,. crowded
streets of a large city. It was a add winter's
day. There had been rain; and although
the sun had been shining brightly, yet the
long icicles hung from_ the eaves of the
houses, and the wheels rumbled ' logdly as
they passed over the ground :
r There was a
clear bright look and a cold bracing fieling
in the air, and a keen northweit wind, which
quickened every step.. Just then a little
child came running along--a poor, - ill-clad
Iler - clothes were scant and: thread
bare; she had no cloak and no shawl, and
her little hare foot looked red and suffering.
She carried- a bundle in her band.: Poor
little, shivering child! Even I,:Who could
do nothing else; Pitied her; As she passed
me her foot slipped', and shd fell with a cry
of pain; but she held, the bundle tightly in
her hand, and jumping up, although she
limped sadly, endeavored to run on as before.
"Stop,,little girl!" said a sweet voice; and

on this stop, and tell me."
flow I loved her, and how beautiful sho
looked!
"Oh! I cannot," said the child; "I cannot
wait; lam in such a hurry! I have been
to the shoemaker's; and mother must finish
them to-night, or she will never get any
more shoes to bind."
"To-night?" said the beautiful woman;
-
"to-night?"
"Yes," said the child—for the stranger's
kind manner had made her bold—"for the
great ball to-night. And these satin slippers
ninbt be spangled, and"—
The beautiful woman took the bundle
from the child's hand and unrolled it. You
do not know how her face flushed and then
turned pale. But I—yes, I—looked in the
bundle; and on the inside of a slipper I saw
a name, a lady's name, written; but I shall
not tell it.
"And where does your mother live, little
girl?"
So the little girl told her where; and then
she told her that her father was dead, and
that her little brother was sick, and that her
mother bound shoes that they might have
bread, but that sometimes - they were very
cold, and that her mother sometimes cried
because she had no money to buy-milk for
her little brother. And I saw that the lady's
eyes were full of tears, and she rolled up the
bundle quickly, and gave it back to the lit
tle girl; but she gave her nothing else; no,
not even a sixpence; and, turning away,
went back into the sto l lir , orn which she had
just come out. Ass lf nt away I saw the
glitter of a diamond pin. Presently she
came back,and stepping into a handsome car
riage rolled off. The little girl looked after
a moment, and then, with her little bare
feet colder than they were before, ran quick
ly away.
I followed the little girl, and I saw her go
to narrow, damp street, into a small,
dark room. I saw her mother—her sad,
faded mother, but with a face so patient—
hushing and soothing a sick baby. And the
baby-slept, and the mother laid it on her
lap; and the bundle was unrolled, antra dim
candle helped her with her work; for though
it was night, yet her room was very dark.
Then, after awhile, she kissed the little girl,
and warmed her poor, frozen feet over the
scanty fire in the grate, and gave her a lit
tle piece of bread, for she had no more; and
then heard her say her evening prayer, and
folding her tenderly to her bosom, blessed
her, and told her that the angels would take
care of her. And the little child slept, and
dreamed—oh, such pleasant dreams!—of
warm stockings and new shoes; but the
mother sewed alone; and, as the bright span
gles glittered on the satin slippers, - alma
there no repining into the heart? ..When'she

The Colonel of his regime -t, had,-in the
meantime, known and appreciated the en
ergy, the bravery, and the intelligence of
the young condemned. lie sent a =mule
sioner of the government, a representative
of the people, to Nantes, and demanded the
pardon of Cambronne.
"Impossible!" replied the commissioner;
"he must be made an example; Without
that, the discipline is lost in the army. Cam
bronne must die."
Nevertheless, the Colonel insisted, and
plead his case so well, that he obtained the
pardon of his soldier, upon'one condition;
that was, that he never was to be found
drunk again.
The worthy Colonel, • then returning to
the military prison, asked to see Cam
bronne.
"You have committed a great fault, Cam
bronne," said he. "It is true, my Colonel:
also, you see where I am. I am going to
pay the penalty with my life." "Perhaps,"
said tho Colonel. "Howl perhaps? You
know the rules of the military laws:. I am
not expecting a pardon, apd have nothing to
look for but for death."
"No, my friend you will not die yet; I
have int:night that pardon of which you de
spaired of. I have secured it, with great
trouble, from the commissioner of the gov
ernment. He has agreed to return even
your degree, but with one condition."
"One condition! Speak, my Colonel,
speak! I Will ao anything tcrsave my head
and above all, my honor."
"It is on condition that you will never, by
any chance, be drunk again."
"Ohl my Colonel, it is impossible. How
impossible! to escape death?"
"Yon were to be shot to-morrow; there
fore think of it."
"You see, my Colonel, in order that I
should never become intoxicated, it would
be necessary that I should never drink more
wine."
Cambronne had so much love for the bot
tle from the time it was commenced, that
finishing it, was his fault.
"Impossible to stop, Colonel; it will be
wrong for me to promise that I will never
be drunk."
"But, unfortunate Mewl will you not
promise to drink no more wino?"
"Without doubt it's a great affair, that
which you propose, my Colonel. Never
more drink wine! Never drink!" And
bowing his head—" But, my Colonel, if 'I
promise you never to drink wine in my life,
whatia it you wish, to guarantee thatprota

your word of honor. I have need of
nothing more.. I know, and I said, that
when you gave it I bad nothing to fear."
- "You have been too good a friend to me,
my Colonel," replied Cambronne, with a
grave and penetrating tone. '•.Thankful for
your confidence, I appreciate it more than
the pardon you brought me. . . God hear
us," and raising his hands, said, "I, Cats-

"Yes, my friend," said he, "this happy
vow I with to hear. Yes, lam &dialed.—
To-morrow you shall be liberated."
Thenext day Corporal Cambronne retail:4ot;
to the camp and renew ed.hia service. Twenty
five. years after,Corporal Cambronne became
General. lie had command of the imperial
guard at Waterloo, and had displayed a Won
derful courage in that heroic retreat, _as
every one knows.
Returning home after the fall of the Em
pire, he lived quietly in Paris, beloved and
honored by all.
His old Colonel,,wrecked by age, and still
more from fatigue of the service, had retired
peak tally itulomestic bliss with his family.
Ile knew that General Cambron ne was in .
Parts, *ld wished ono day to invite him to
dinner, and several old brothers of the army,
and then prepared the best repast he could
imagine. The place of honor was for Cam
bronne—the right of the master of the
house.
Being at table, the Colonel offered his
guest a glass of old wine, very . high priced,
and kept very choice for great occasions.—
Camlironne looked at the Colonel with sur
prise and vivacity.
"What do you prevent to me?" said he.
"Some wine of the Rhine, my General;
and what makes it more choice still, it is
more than one hundred Years old. Yuu can
not find much like it in Paris."
And, as Cambronne seemed irritated at
these words, he said—
"I wish, my General, to assure you that
it is excellent. I would ',rather von would
taste IL" "On my word of honor, my Colo
nel," cried Cambronne, striking upon the
table, "Nantes! and the Prison! and the Par

chief done by impure air, improper food;
neglect 'of the skin, which thry share equally
with the other , sex. But, worst of all, add
to these disadvantages the pernicious custom
of dress, by which one-half the body is sub-
jected to extreme changes front heat to cold,
while the other portion is compressed by
tight girding, heated by accumulated gar
ments, pressed downward by whalebone's,
and by heavy skirts resting over the most
delicate organs. Into our rural towns, even,
these pernicious customs of dress.have been
carried by mantua-makers front the city,
and still more by the miserable fashion
plates in our literature, that set forth the
distortions of deformity and diseaseas models
of taste and fashion. In our country towns,
and among the industrial classes, it will be
found that the' taxation of care and labor on
the brain of witmen is even worse and greater
than it is in the same class of our cities.—
The wives of rich farmers are often ambi
tious to Barry out plans of labor and wealth
with their husbands, while at the same time,
their daughters Must be sent to boarding
school, and all the habits and tastes of city
life must, in conseqUence, be ming:ed with
other cares. The great majority of the
American women have their brain and ner
vous system exhausted by too much care and
too much mental excitement in their daily
duties; while another class, who live to be'
waited on and amused, are as great suffer
ers for want of some worthy object in life, or
from excess in seeking amusement. Next,
there never has been any previous genera
tion of children who have been so extensive
ly deprived of pure, cool air in nursery,
school room and parlor as those now on the
stage.
The air-tight stoves in bed-rooms, the
cooking stoves in kitchens, the close stoves
in school rooms, and the far greater care ta
ken to make windows and doors tight, have
secured this result. The furnaces that are
so generally used, keep the atmosphere of
the house far warmer than it ever becomes
with open tires. For, when the body is
warmed by radiated beat from a fire, the air
never becomes so heated as when all warmth
is to be gained from the surrounding atmos
phere. And as the upper part of the room
is,always warmest, both stoves andfurnaces
keep the head warmer than the feet, and
furnish to the-lungs only a heated atmos
phere to breathe. In former days little
girls took cold air baths all over their per
son whenever they went out. In these days
they are covered from all cool air, and they
stand over registers and take hot air' baths
when they feel a chill or have cold feot. Be
sides this, the school-rooms are made tighter
and heated hotter than they ever could be
in former days. At the same time they are
crowded with occupants whosebrains, while
struggling with bairair: are stimulated with
intellectual drills and exciting motives to
exertion, such as never were known to a
forinerAragon. Little girls are especially

most trying and critical period of life, the
stimulation of Livia increases, tlie.,es,ercise
'diminishes, and the monatrous.fashions that

`in England, the higher &tales rarely send
a daughter to a boarding school, bat parents
secure teachers to educate them at _home,
and take the greatest pains to•secure' a
healthy and perfect physical development:
But in this country, the greater portion of''
the wealthy classes send thair daughters, at
the most critical age, to be close-packed in
an ill-ventilated chambers and school-rooms,
by night and . by day, while physical'
training is neglected, and the brain and,
nerves are stimulated by exclusive intellect
ual activity. Twenty years ago•a distin
guished medical man 'gave it as his opinion
that a majority of school girls had more or
less of the curvature of the spine. A still
more terrific deformity than this now is ad
ded as the result of our miserable neglect
and abuse of the young.
Some tinie ago, Madame' Plynette,
widow lady of fifty, but who still attach

a lap dog to receive from it so severe a
wound in one of the eyes, that it came out

to an "expert manufacturer in this way;

a middle aged citizen of Paris for a situation

of the latter. As the young man brought
excellent testimony as to his probity and ea

went on very comfortably until, the other
