O' beautiful month June!
With your beautiful blush of roses,
You cannot blush too soon,
Where the mighty city repoies.
We think of your coming oft,
We think of your coming gladly,
And with sighs, as your zephyrs soft,
We sigh for your going sadly.
That we pray for your peaceful dawn,
0 beautiful month, do you wonder?
When the battle-tide rolls on,
With its rush of flame and thunder ?
When the Spring and its music are dumb,
Where the charge of the foemeu is F. ouuded,
Will Summer-time melodies come ,
With a truce to the dead ana the wounded?
'Ti& not, as in halcyon prime,
We may wander the hill-sides over,
And bury our grief for a time
In the meads of 'velvety clover:
'Tie not that your winnowing L-treams
Alay mirror a sky to our gazing,
With calm and cerulean beams,
Unveiled by the sulphurous blazing.
O beautiful month of June!
• Where a reeking land reposes;
For a Nation's burning noon,
We crave your breath of roses,
To sweeten each battle air,
And mellow each mourner's 'sighing;
To float like a fragrant prayer,
O'er the beds of the wounded and dying
As glad as your golden lignt,
As wide as your verdant flushing,
To eyes bedimmed of sight,
And hearth in anguish hushing—
W here echoes the battle-call,
And hero blood is flowing,
'We pray that your peace may fall
In gifts of rich bestowing!
Oh! summon your winds to woo
The land with their warm caressing,
Till bosoms, to tenderness true,
Deny not a gift or a blessing;
Then, beautiful month of June,
When the harvest of death is ended,
How sweetly each battle-tune
And the hymn of thy praise shall be blended!
How sweetly to Freedom shall guide
The shade of thy oounteons finger,
And mark where thy roses have died,
That the gifts of their blossoming linger!
PHILADELPHIA, April 1464.
[For the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
HELP, HELP, OR WE PERISH !
This cry is coming up to us from multituds
of starving women—our country women,
citizens of Philadelphia; many of them wives,
mothers, or sisters of gallant soldiers, who have
give their lives for their country, and have
left Zeit. dear ones destitute and alone to fight
the battle of life and take part in the fierce
struggle for bread that is going on all around
us. They appeal to us not for charity, but for
, justice. Shall we longer harden our hearts
and shut our ears to the cry ? Surely not !
Surely not !
A meeting was held at the Sansom Street
Hall (on Monday night last), to consider the
wrongs of the working women, and devise
means for redressing them. Some facts were
stated, and some letters read, but they were
few in number, and conveyed no adeqbate idea
of the want and misery that surround us.
Many hundreds of letters from working women
have been received by the Association, reiter
ating the sad tale of starvation and misery, at
well as recounting the outrages they are sub
jected to by insolent officials. Though a greas
number of these letters come from those %I
gaged on Army work, there are many othhrs
who have complaints to make. One woman
says: "I work on fine flannel Store shirts now,
at $1 30 per dozen. I can make but fourteen
shirts a week. My employer had a sample
dozen made at $4, but he only gives his hand.,
$1 30." Here follows an extract from his
rules : "Any' hand who does not do her work
as well as sample, shall be told of the fault,
and receive a black mark. If they do not at
tend to this rebuke,and bring it in a second
time not so well made as sample, she shall be
discharged, and her name entered on the black
list, which is distributed to other manufacturers
all over the city; and she will be effectually
prevented from getting any work afterwards."
Further, the manufacturer from whose rules
this hasbeen selected, has tnreatened his girls
to discharge them if it is reported that they
are seen at the meetings of, or give any infor
mation to the cc Women's Relief Association"
as to the hours they work, the amount of pay
they receive, &c. And he has actually dis
charged one hand because she declined to re
linquish her right to go where she pleased, or
say what she pleased. He moreover says "that
employers will resist every effort to gain higher
wages, whether such effort be made by an ap
pear to their humanity,or an endeavor to coerce
them, and that they will crush the women to
starvation before they will consent to an ad
vance." What think you of that, Christian
people of Philadelphia ?
One woman, who has six children, is working
fora shirt maker, doing shirts at one dollar per
dozen; can make but twenty per week, work
ing eighteen hours dally. Her husband was
killed at Gettysburg.
Another, whose husband was wounded and
came home only to die, has five children, and
is working for tailors and cannot make more
than at the most $2 25 per week, working
fourteen hours; and this is certified by the
names of two of her employers who have
signed her letter. Another whose husband is
still in the army, in a Delaware regiment, has
received neither bounty nor pay for nine
months, has three children, one blind, whom
she could not leave to take the place of a ser
vant, the eldest being only six years of age.
She works for the government, and only gets
$2 16 a week for the same work that she used
to get $3 40 for, and cannot do more than
$2 16 per week by the utmost trial of her
strength.
Stilt another writes, whose wail of despair
comes up to us like the agonized cry of a lost
soul, and tells us she was once married, but,
tempted beyond her strength, she sold herself
for bread; and adds too, that hundreds like
herself, have been forced by poverty into sin.
Christian men and women, this is not romance,
but sad, sober truth, and it rests with you to
say if human -souls shall still longer be driven
to perdition whilst you sit calmly by with
folded hands, and by your silence sanction the
evil work. Yon rest calmly in your luxurious
abodes and, with doors carefully closed and
curtains closely drawn, shut out sights and
sounds distasteful; but as sure as there is ONE
above who seeth all things, so surely shall the
crime and misery of your sisters be laid at your
door. You have -no right to harden your
hearts and close your ears to their supplica
tions. To look to their welfare here and aid
in
securing it hereafter is the work set for yoar
hands to do, and look. to it, that it is not for
argoettewnaaoretr nie_glaeycetra.ed

THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1864.--TRIPLE SHEET
immemmimesomm-
AN HOUR WITH A SHAKE CHARMER,
ft min tile London Society Magazine ]
During a professional ride through 'the
station in which I am quartered, I felt some
a bat fatigued with the heat of the atm, which
was just then excessive, and ventured to call
on a friend for a short shelter, despite the full
conviction that I sheuld find him indulging in
that mid-day "siesta," so common a luxury to
the Europeans living in that climate, and yet so
fearfully productive of liver congestion, ple
thora and splenic disease.
I was not mistaken. ~N ever mind me; come
in, old boy," was my friend's salutation, which
I answered person by entering his bed-room,
darkened and cooled by artificial means.
Making my way to his bed-side, I was surprised
at seeing two very bright objects glistening in
the corner of the room. I advanced towards
them, but more quickly retired, on being as
sailed by a loud and unmistakable hiss. In
voluntarily a scream in duet was performed by
my friend and myself, and the native servants
were somewhat startled by shrieks of "A snake,
a snake! - Get a gun!"
A consultation was held—of course outside
the room,
and I need not say some distance
from the door. Various results were arrived
at, some suggested shooting, others smoking.
One, apparently more courageous than the
rest, proposed that the snake should be caught
and then destroyed. '
However, as the 'originator of this bright
idea did not seem in haste to carry his sugges
tion into practice, and as none of us wished to
deprive him-of the honor, it was agreed to send
to the native bazaar for an Indian snake
charmer.
He came, a tall, muscularnative, slip of cloth
round his waist, his hair long and matted, ex
cept on the centre of his head, which was
shaved 'close in a circle, and a turban covering
it, bearing over his shoulders two baskets and
his musical instrument, made out of a gourd
with a single bamboo pipe coming from its
upper end, and two smaller ones from its lower,
which, being pierced with holes, are played
upon like a flute, whilst the breath is blown
through the upper and single one.
Before he was allowed to enter the room he
was searched, and hii baskets and instruments
taken from him. Nothing could have been
concealed, for his clothing was reduced to its
minimum, and he only carried a short iron rod.
He was shown the hole in which we supposed
the snake to be, for now the reptile's tail had
disappeared. He lay down on the floor, and,
placing his face close to the door, exclaimed
"Burrs sap; asbit bahnt burra." (Big snake,
your honor, very big.) Without any more
preparation he commenced digging round the
hole, and removed some of the brick work. In
a few minutes he showed us the tail of the
reptile, and with sundry incantations in Ilin
doostanee and curious contortions of his body,
seized hold of the tail, and gradually drew forth
the snake. It proved to be a fine specimen of
the cobra—a black, shining, wriggling, hissing,
deadly cobra, five feet long, at the thickest part
eight inches round, with a hood measuring,
when extended, five inches across. This
reptile he handled freely whilst it was his
sing and darting its tongue out every
second. Taking it into the yard or com
pound. he released it. The reptile wriggled to
wards him, and when within a foot or so reared
itself up, spread out the enormous hood, and
prepared itself to strike at its captor. • But the
charmer was riot to be wounded. He seized .his
primitive musical instrument and commenced
very slowly to produce low and soft tones, very
harmonious; but unconnected. The snake
seemed astonished; his hood gradually col
lapsed, his head and about a foot of his body
that was raised from the ground commenced to
sway from side to side in perfect harmony with
the music, and slower and quicker as the time
was decreased or increased. As the man played
louder the. snake got more excited, until its
rapid and unusual movements had quite
exhausted it, and it subsided.
Again the charmer seized it, and quick as
lightning ran his hand up his body, holding it
firmly by the throat. By pressing on its neck
the cobra's mouth opened, and he disclosed the
fangs, poison bags and apparatus complete,
thus proving beyond a doubt that it was not a
trained or tame reptile he bad' been treating
like a plaything.
A fowl was now obtained and placed about
a foot from the reptile, which was again set free.
With the same movements it raised itself a
ftiot from the ground, spread out its hood, and
with a loud hiss, apparently of satisfaction,
darted upon and seized the fowl by the back of
the neck. Hanging there for a few seconds,it
let go its hold, and the man at the sam', in
stant seized it, as he had formerly done, by the
head. The fowl, almost instantaneously, be
came drowsy, its head falling forward and the
beak striking with considerable force into the
ground. This convulsive movement lasted ten
seconds, and then the bird lay down asif com
pletely comatose and powerless. In fifteen
seconds it gave a sudden start and fell back
quite dead.
As no deception could have been practised
in this instance. I was most anxious to see the
reptile killed; but the charmer said he would
not have it destroyed; that if it were in
jured the power he had over snakes would be
interfered with, and the next one would no
doubt bite and kill him.
However, we insisted upon seeing him made
harmless, or comparatively so, and directed the
man to remove his fangs. This he agreed to
do, and performed it in this manner: A piece
of wood was cut an Mel square, and held by
the charmer to the head of the snake; the rep
tile seized it as he had done the fowl, and with
a dexterous twist of his hand the most primi
tiie performance of dentistry was accomplished.
Tho four fangs sticking into the wood were
extracted by the roots and given to me. I have
them now, and look upon them more suicidally
pleasant than a pint of prusSic acid or a cask of
white arsenic.
