Hut his troubles were not ended—for Jimmy's mishap and outcry had awakened Elhr, the youngest, who had been sleeping in the cradle. She vociferously de manded where was ma. "Oh. Lord," said her father, half musing ly, " she's gone down to Mrs. Norwood's, to the sewing circle. If it was a man who in vented them. I hope he will have to keep house every Wednesday afternoon so long as he lives." " (Tone down to Mrs. Norwood's," repeated Benny, to whom Jimmy had told the story of his misfortunes, and who was now viewing the ruins. " I'll go straight down there and tell her that Jimmy's broke a whole lot of dishes, and the babv's erring, aud pa won't get us nothiu' to eat."' " Come back J" sliouted the father, while the perspiration stood in drops on his face. But the boy knew that his father never nsed the rod, so the call had no other effect than to make the boy increase his sjieed in the direc tion of Mrs. Norwood's bouse. The pareut did not wait to give a secoud call, but started iu pursuit of the fugitive. He was just descend ing the stejis that led from the outer door to the pavement, when owing to the batter on the soles of bis boots, he slipped ami fell, reach ing the pavement without any muscular effort ou li s part. Mr. Easy groaned aloud, but he had no time to ascertain if any of his bones were broken, so away he hohbbsl, much to the amusement of a group of shavings boys, who were ou the corner opposite. In spite of all his exertious, the distance widened between him and his uudutiful son ; so he hired one of the hoys to overtake Benny and bring him back. Away went the boy on bis errand, while the housekeeper, forgetting he had left the baby a: home alone, stepped into the near est shop to rest. Presently he heard an out cry in the street, and oil goiug to the door, he beheld his sou. (who had some of his mother's blood iu his veins.) in mortal combat with the boy who w as trying to force him home agaiu>t bts will. Benny had already received a black eve, the blood flowed freely from his no>trils and his clothes were considerably the worse for the afternoon's wiar Away weut Mr. Easy to tiie rescue, and triumphantly captured his sen. whose garments fluttered in the wind.— The group of shavings-boys voluntarily escor ted them to their threshold and made the air resound with vocal music—thus giving more publicity to the affair, and increasing Mr. Easy's troubles, which seemed to have no end. Ella, who had seen between two and three years of life, w as of a very inquiring mind.and wheu she saw herself the sole occupant of the room, and found that if she did err. there was no oae to hear her—she eiiraled up the side of the cradle, tipped it over and started on a voy age of discovery on her own account. Her firct attempt was to obtain a drink of water, in doing which, she upset a brimming iiail and stoojied to quench ber thirst from the brook she had made. Next she proceeded to inves tigate an escritoire upon a small table in the corner of the sitting-room. The large biack marks the ink made on the paper, pleased her very much, but continuing this occupation the iuk-bottlr was soon upside down on the carpet, the liquid spreading rapidly. Though Ella's education w limited, she bad learned to dis criminate somew hat between right and wrong; her iast act she concluded must tie of the lat ter class, and to make amends, she endeavored to scrape ap the ink with her hands. At this moment a fly lit on her nose, and with the same hand she routed him After this it would have been difficait to determine to which of tbefive races she belonged. Tue next scene of action was the kitchen closet, when a pitcher of milk was partly drank and the remainder poured in to a pan of fioir. Ella began to knead its contents, bat she preferred uture room, so she dragged the pan into the centre of the parlor, the door of that apart weut being ajar. A few R.K:w*nts after, Mr. EASY entered with his sons, determined to shat thrtn ap for the rest of the afternoon. Bat what was his hor ror to find his kitchen adoat, the sitting room carpet stained beyond ail probability of resto ration and the jvarkv strewn w.th dour and literally covered with paste. His first idea WAS of a Toyage to Australia. and of leaving each , one to his fate ; but then came the thought of his poor wjfe. " If I have such a hard time in taking care of toe children for a few hours," said he, " what mast lie poor Sanaa's trials, staying here ail < the titue. and sot only taking care of them, bat attending to ail her other duties. I always thought women had a very easy time, but I give up that idea uow. and oaiy wonder that so few are ir. the insane From ftiis ' time forth I am EAST no longer, but 1 will be industrious acd frugal—and if at home the do imestie whirlwind W>w Olympus high.

O'MEARA GOODRICH. " REGARDLESS OF DENUNCIATION FROM AWT QUARTER." how much the beauty of the carpet had increas ed an hour afterwards, when with tired mus cles and aching heart he rose from his humble position. But we will not follow Mr. Easy too minute ly through all his troubles on that eventful af ternoon. While Jimmy and Benny were prison ers in the bed room, they amused themselves by playing ball around the room, and circus ou the white counterpane. In a short time the wash-bowl aud pitcher were in fragments, the looking glass cracked, and the couuterpane dangling on the floor ! Mr. Easy in his anxiety to keep the young est one quiet, gave her whatever she desired. As he found she was Mrs. Easy iu her minia ture, when thwarted, he gave her bread and batter to spread for herself, silver spoons to drum with, scissors to cut a newspaper—and when his back was turned, she cut her curls and strewed them about the floor. Then she called lor the sugar bowl, which he considered perfectly harmless, but the room was soon thronged with flics. By this time, Jimmy and Benny, after promising good be havior, had gained their liberty, and wished for a drink of molasses and water. This request was granted, and they were permitted to mix it for themselves ; their father having taken a seat in despair, and made up his miud to await patiently the result of all this chaos, wheu his better-managing half should return. But a scream from the kitchen brought him to his feet agaiu, to behold Ella dripping with mo lasses, a large vessel of which Benav had upset. Ella, with blinded eves, grasped the first ob ject that canie in her way, which happened to be her father, with his Sunday pants on. Alas ! poor Mr. Easy ! ou finishing his cleaning opera tions, lie found his pants so bedaubed with flour, paste and ink. it would have beeu hard to tell if he were a baker or a printer : so as his best ones were the nearest at hand, he doffed his floured garb, and uow what a mis- i fortune. Mr. Easy was mad ! stark mad ! and , at that moment he caught a glimpse of the rod ' of correction which lay on the shelf, and which j he had often thought it was all nonsense to • use ; but he was now of a very different mind, and he plied it dexterously until it became too short ; and then ended the tragic farce by put ting tbent all to bed supperless. As he had not much appetite himself, it did not occur to him that they uiizht uut be similarly inclined. After the children had cried themselves to sleep, and the house was once more quiet, Mr. Easy pondered in his mind whether it would be nest for him to see his wile, or his wife to see the house first ; and he came to the con clusion that the former would be the better mode of proceeding. He knew she intended to stay in the evening, so as it began to grow dark, he crept softly down stairs, went to a cJotiiuig store near by. and purchased a new pair of pants, and a few other articles to match I them ; then, going to his room, he made au en- i tire change of apparel. " 1 w;ll lounge al>oa: no longer in a thread bare coit," he mcntallv ( exclaimed, as he surveyed himself iu the class, and >aw the change iu his appearance -. " but I will throw off these idle habits I have in dulged in. and be a man among men : nor * ill \ I burden my wife with so many cares, nntil from necessity she is compelled to neglect the . culture and habits of our children."* With thoughts like these he again went in- : to the street and stopping at the next door, raug the bell, which summons was answered by a young girL "' Nancy"* he said. "my wife has grae out and lam going too. Will you sit with the children a little while? They are asleep and will be no trouble to you."' Nancy was a great favorite with the Easy family, and they were with her, so mutaal fa vors were often dene by each to the other.— In a moment more. Nancy was ascend : ng the stairs that led to the Easy family, while the husband was ou his wav to the sewing cirri*. _ ' j " Ladies allow me to introduce yon to Mr. Easy," said Mr. Norwood. Mrs. Easy, who was really a pretty smart woman, aad who now held the highest office in the gift of the ladies present, looked up to see who this namesake of , hers was. But who can picture her astonish ment when she beheld her own masculine pro perty in a new suit standing before her. It was the first time since their marriage that he had ever voluntarily entered company to spend a social evening with her. She longed to ask him a thousand questions : How he had got along—who was taking care of the children— why be came—and what made him buy those * clothes. But Mr. Easy had too mocu good sense to manifest the commotion within and when he took a seat by ber sde. she treated him with that respect which is ever due from aw ife to her husband. But when all eves were turned in another diriclioo, she whispered in his car : " Did the children behave good V ** Can't you go bone pr. try soon, Susan *" was the reply. "I have something to say to you.*" • At first Mrs. Easy felt alarmed, and then she thought it could not be any thins: serious, or be would uot be there. Bat Mr. Ea>y seem ed so different from what he generally was. she was puzzled as well aa pleased. He was so polite and gentlemanly, and be had in maay new ideas to advance, she thought he badu't read so many newspapers for nothing, and she really felt proud of him, and wondered if the faall hadn't always bee® hers : and she resolv ed not to scold so much ia future, nor try to convince him of her superiority, bat on the oth er hand make him believe he was somebody and she was his wife. As soon as etiquette would allow, Mr and Mrs. Easy took their way borne " Coaae to your chamber, Susan."" said the husband, as be saw ber place ber hand oa the knob of the parlor door and he remembered the scenes of the afternoon. " I wish to tell you something," and he led the way to their room, while the wife marvelled more tbaeever what it eoaki all mean. "•Susan."* he beeao. 'I want to talk with TOO. if you will lisiee.™ She bwwed a-?e®t and then placed the bap she had lighted oil the table. Mr. Easy had the next twenty minutes' conversation without interruption from her ; at the end of that time Susai\.did not know whether to shed tears of joy or sorrow, whether to speak no word of reproach, or to so far uusex herself as to curse him for the loss of her carpets, and for the ruin and chaos that met her vision when she looked around on her suite of rooms. A few moments of sileuce, and she obeyed the better voice within, and only put her arm aroand her husband's neck, laid her head upon his shoulder and said weeping : " I will believe you, and trust this afternoon's experience will prove no loss. If you will but become industrious and euergetic, it is all I ask; I shall theu be able to hare leisure time to teach the children in such a manner they will remember the lessons when I am not here to enforce them." Mr. Easy was up with the sun the next moruing, and away to his business ; and when some neighbors eutered after diuner, they were surprised not to find him on the lounge as usual, but a frown from his wife put a stop to all in quiries, and so the matter dropped. In a few days Mr. Easy became a landlord instead of a tenant ; but to this day the neigh bors have not discovered the secret of his re form. and she wouldn't tell even me ; but I overheard them talking about it the other evening, and discussing the expediency of get ting their now meaningless surname changed. llow ridiculous in her not to tell all she knew about it! and now I have found it out. I'll put it in the paper out of spite ; which I suppose is the most effectual way of informing all my frieuds of the cause of the rise and progress of the Easy family.

And though this prejudice is less prevalent now than of yore, when supersti tion had general sway, yet there are many, even in this matter of fact age of onrs, who would hesitate on a day so inauspicious to be giu an undertaking of momentous import.

INTERESTING VIEW OP LONDON. Its Bridge—The Thames Tunnel—Tower of London—Bank of England— Firif to Old Bailey—Wine Vaults, ij-c. We find the following interesting letter in in the Newark (N. J.) Advertiser : LONDON, August, 1855. The bridges of London constitute an inter esting and characteristic feature of the city.— They have been constructed at different peri ods, as the business of the city and its more immediate connection required, at an almost incalculable outlay of expense. Some of these bridges are highly ornamental, and built of huge blocks of stone, which give them the ap pearance of great strength and durability.— Waterloo Bridge is a noble architectural work, its length being 1250 feet. It consists of 9 eliptical arches, each 120 feet span, and 32 feet in height. Trafalgar Bridge is construct ed entirely of cast-iron, the large plates being made to fit each other so as to form almost a smooth surface. The continual arrival and de parture of the numerous steamers for convey ing persons to different points in the city ; the ever-moving stream of people and vehicles, present a scene of bustle and animation of the most exciting character. These steamers are of small size, made long and narrow, and run with great speed. In passing under the bridges they lower the smoke pipe. The Thames Tunnel, intended to form a communication under the river with the.oppo site j>ortions of the city, is an extraorainarv work, constructed at an immense expense, but it has not proved a profitable investment.— You descend by a circular stairway to the bot tom. when the tnnuel opens before yon. It is 1,300 feet long, divided into two carriage roads, with a walk on each side for foot pas sengers. The top is arched with a heavy stooe wall dividing the two roads. This partition wall is pierced with open space?, to allow ac cess from one passage to the other. It baa never been used for carriages. It is kept brilliantly lighted, aud filled with small shops, or rather stands, occupied by women for the sale of fancy articles. The Tower of London is situated near the Thames. At the very mention of its name what a crowd of recollections rush upon the mind ! Had these massive walls a voice what tales of horror, of cruelties and oppression could they unfold. Here rebel lords, and no ble patriots, hare been immured in gloomy dungeons, and afterwards led to execution.— The antiquity of the building is very great.— It was garrisoned by the Normans under Wiiliam 1. For several hundred years it was made the residence of the Royal Family, but ceased to be so ou the accession of Queen Eliz abeth. Tliis ancient fortress consists of a col lection of buildings, barracks, arsenals and offices. It is enclosed by an old wall with a ditch, and traversed by a draw-bridge. The space within the wall is 12 acres. On the south side of the Tower is an arch called the Trailer's Gate, through which the State prisoners were brought from the river. Near this is the " Bloody Tower f on the third floor is the room in which toe two young princes. Edward Y. and his brother were smothered by order of Richard 111. The Horse Armory contains 21 equestrian figures, the horse as well as the effigies are encased steel, representinir the costume worn at diffe rent periods. The wall is covered with arm of every description ; swords, pistols and mas kers tastefully arranged. Above tbU room is Queen Elizabeth's Armory. The principal rooms contain many curious relies. The block, with its ponderous axe. on which Anne Bolern, Earl of Essex and other illustrious personages were beheaded. How often has this block been moistened with the blood of noble vic tims ! The impression? made by the axe arv distinctly risible. Here are Crusaders' coats of mail, suits of arms which belonged to Dud ley. Earl of Leicester, and Henry VIII., the Executioner's mask, a pair of military boots worn by William 111., and brass cannon from Waterloo. This room also contains many of , the spoils of the invincible Spanish Armada, banners, boarding pikes and spears, collar of : torment, thumb screws for wrenching and [ crushing the limbs, aud other instruments of the Inquisition. On one side of this room is a i small dark cell, without a window to let in s single ray of light, in which the distinguished i warrior and scholar. Sir Walter Raleigh, wa< confined for 12 years, and by the cruelty and j injustice of James I. condemned to the acaf fold. The " White Tower," as it is called, is a large irregular building, the first story being filled with arms for the Navy ; within this building is an Ancient Chapel formerly used by the English Monarch*, and the room iu which Lady Jane Gray, whose misfortune* claim our compassion, was imprisoned by the bigoted and bloody Mary. From a window in this room she saw her husband. Lord Guil ford, pass to the place of execution, an I soon after she was herself suxmoced to the saffoid, w here she met her fate with christian fortitude and resignation, exclaiming with her last words. " Lord, into thy hands I commend my spirit ' In the yard are several pieces of Turkish Ord nance and mortars. White Hall Paiaoe is a handsome edifice of hewasroae ; it is i* w aseb I believe, by the Government for offices. It: front of this budding C-haries I. was executed, and in this boose Cromwell fired and died. The Bark of England it mere remarkable for its size than any architectural beauty which it possesses. It has a capital of £35,000.000, and gives employment to 900 persons. In the yard is a large furnace enclosed in to iron frame work, for burning old back note* There are three presses, each of which strike off 8,000 notes per hoar ; a machine of cari ous invention for making numbers on the notes, and six machine* for weighing and detecting fight coins.

I obtained through the kindness of a fm-i.d a permit from the Sheriff of London to visit Newgate, the chief prison for criminals in tha Old Daily. It was for years stigmatised as one of the worst managed prisons in England, bat through the exertions of Howard, togeth er with the philanthropic labors of Mrs. Pry, the discipline and management of the prison has greatly improved.—The number of com mitments average about 200 in a month. There are several inner courts for the purpose of ventilation, and to admit exercise for the prison*rs. It 1 ai a neat cl a * 1 where regular service is heki twice every Sabbath, mud a small library, and a school-master gives instruc tions every day to the boys. Most of the prisoners are kept employed picking oakum.— In one room are the fetters and chains former ly nsed, some of them of great weight ; on the shelves of an adjoining room are the plas ter bustß of those who have been executed*— All the executions take place in the street in front of the building. The culprit walks from his cell through an iron door, which is never opened except on such occasiou*, to the fatal drop. It was in this prison that the Rev. Dr. Dodd was confined for forging a bond on bis Lord Chesterfield. The most unremitting ef forts were made to save him from the horror and ignominy of a public execution, a petition with 60.000 signatures was presented to tba king, praying his royal clemency ; the king re fused to pardon bitn, and the unhappy man expiated his crime on the gallows. The docks of London are on a scale of grandeur commensurate with its great com merce. They cover a surface of forty arret made of stone, and communicate with the Thames by a canal. Without these inland harbors, the river could not afford accomoda tion for the numerous shipping. I noticed several American vessels in front of the store house. Among the wonders of LonJon are tha WiDe Vaults. 1 visited the largest of these, which covers 11 acres.
