The warerooms of MadameiCamille, one of our
most fashionable Parisian milliners, had one day
received an additional apprentiie: Her name was
- Gabrielle: He': f.ther was a Mason, and, like too
many of tic , : workingclas.ses,i drank on Sunday
.what he "
had earned during the }seek. Her mother
did: the best she could to suf4ort her family, and
found it a hard matter with th-little she earned.
'Gabrielle had suffered such m'sery from her
cradle, that she . had never known that youthful
'spring which usually makes to children the mere
consciousness of existence a joy: ‘• Mamma, w hat
.a nice thing it is to be alive!" once said a child to
- her mother, ds she bounded before her. Gabrielle
" • was sixteen, and knew not what a smile was.—
Her fair butdaded cheek bore; an impression of
suffering au`[ quiet resignation; Which was more
effecting than any open demonstration of grief.-1
The 'child contrasted the luaus( of her mistress—
the abode of order, economy',? and 'industry, and I
consequently of ease .and comfort—with her own
home, where reigned every kiiid of wretchedness
that poverty and disorderly habits could produce,
and where reproaches—most just, it is true, but
consequintly the more painful—averise to mutual
recrimination between the hus band and wife.
. One evening amorg others ; he Wife was corn
plaining that the mason had not given her all he
earned.
" I should have notling to drink, if I did," re
plied the husband. •
The dispute was beginningt to get warm; Ga
brielle,whispered to her fat
• “.1 give my mother half o hat Learned, father,
to buy clothes for my brothersland sisters; I will
give you the'other half for drink.
- "-Think you my child," said the father, who
accordingly took the money from his daughter,
and went out..
But this man, who could drink Without 'any
scruple the fruit of his own litho-, felt a kind of re.
morse in expending. at the tavern the money which
ha&l>een earned by his daughter; , and when he
dial* from his Pocket the-hard earned pieces which
• the slight delicate hand of his `daughter had placed'
in his, the sound of them, as they jingled on the
counter; went:to his very heart. and that evening,
rola wonder, he returned home sober. How much
may be accomplished by kind looks, and words,
when all. remonstrances failll,A tri fl ing act of
kindness, witha !sok of affectipmhad smitten the
feelings of the hitherto recklese father..
The-following evening,-afterifiaving in a similar
- -
"mantie, received the half of Gabrielle's earnings,
-the mason went out ; but he hail hardly taken a
few, stepsywhetile came hack.i " Gabtielle,"• said
h ( e, come, and we will take a Walk in.the country.'
Gabrielle started up with alacrity. "You are
not going to'the tavern,. fathq?" said she to him.
Is it with a young girl likeiyou ? Do you think
- 'me a brute?" said the man. heart, after all,
• " lethe best, teacher of what is becoming.
Gabrielliiknew how fo read, and Auring their
'walk sliejeltded to her father, a number of little
efories which-amused -him, and made him forget
the tavern. The next week, masoh's family
had enough to eat ; and the Week after, from the
united earnings of father and daughter, the children
were able to be sent•to school'; in short; at the end
of the month, the aspect of thig dwelling, formerly
the abode of misery, tears, andiquarrels,.wasquite
alteied ; and the companions of the mason, missing
him from his old haunt, diegin . jeering him;, but
he told'them what his daughter :had done.
• dSo -good a daughter "ouglit to . . make a good
wife," cried a rich miller who hint'beeh listening
to him- t• I have an only son, and right glad would
be it you would give her tebirn. Gifu' sense,
„gentlemen, and modesty, are , lbetter in the poor
ntan's house than riches." iminediately,
without even inquiring - whether Gabrielle were
ngiyorpretty, he demanded in marriage for
his son.
'Gabrielle is now tbe wife otia rich miller. She
is th mother of children, and a blessing to her"
hasbandssfamily, as she had been to her own,--
Those tips, which had peer uttered but words of
patient gentleness and sense beirond her agb, are no
longer'strangers to. smiles ; - and: . the rosy hue of
bealtb again-tinges the cheek which " - had faded
under early hardships drill over toil: Gabrielle is

The Condition of Our Country.
It is surely ri eircumstance calculated to afford
great satisfaction' to the "people - of our country,
that while other nations—even in the enjoyment
of Peace with their neighbors—are laboring under
the miseries Of death, famine and 'disease, we are
in the midst of prosperity and plenty ; even while
at war for the - rights of our countrymen, and in
defence of AM national honor. Yet, though this
is a fact which all adnait,.how fevv are there who
seem properly to appreciate the causes that give
rise to our present condition as a nation.
These causes are - numerous; but, notwithstand
ing this, there is one, operating primarily, which
cannot be controlled; or Materially affected, under
any ordinary circumstances. We arc, as a people,
in the enjoymentot health ; .we are under the ope
ration of a wholesome system of laws, calculated
to promote the interests of the farmer the artisan,
the mechanic, the laborer the merchant, the pro•
fessicraal rriaA-all the interests of society, in a
wholesome And natural manner. None are pam
pered—none are oppressed, under the operation of
our present commercial and financial system.
But, above all the causes conspiring to place us
in the position which we occupy, the spirit . of en
ergyand industry pervading the people of our land,
is the most . poiverful. This it is which Las sm
tained us, under the most untoward circumstances:
This it is, which, has enabled us to pass. through
the fiery ordeals to which, we have from: l :time to
time been forced to submit, in consequerice of im
proVident legiSlation; This it is, which will ever
bear us onward and upward, in the way to great
ness and glory; and though this spirit cannot be
overcome entii!ely,'under our present form of gov
ernment; it mity be, and has been, checked by
false steps in legislation; as it has also been fos
tered and enco l nraged when laws have been adop
ted in accordance with the genius and spirit of our
institutions. !
1 The Operatives
Now is - the time, when all who are in the em
ploy of others,', are Able, by their labor, to promote t
to the greateSt extent, the' interet of their em. . l
plovers; and row is the time, too, when employ
ers have it in heir power to do the most essential
service to those upon whom they have to depend
for their greatest advantage in business. The ag
ricultural prospects of our country all now bear a
high price; and the tendency of things is to a still
greater increas,e in price for come time to come.
The operative, whose sole support for his family,
depends upon his daily earnings, now finds, that,
even though he has constant employment, he is
not able to iupply the wants of his family as he
could do some time op, even by resort to a more ,
rigid economy.. And why is thisl. 'Where the
difficulty exists, there is an evident cause; 'quit
this cause should be overcome. The adiance in !
wages, if any, has not been in accordance with
the increased price to be paid for the necessaries
of life; and therefore, the operative finds himself
much more restricted, even when practising the!
most rigid economy. The employer should,
therefore, in all cases, even without - ,a direct
!call to that effect on the part of those in his
!employ, increase the amount of wages to be paid
to'lltem, in proportion to the advance in those
things which all are compelled to use. This is
I t nothing more than justice, not only to the employ.
ed, but to the employer also; for each is dependent
l on the other; and that honest employment which
any one follows should, and, generally will, sustain
itself, amid the ordinary fluctuations of business—
which are natural, and therefore to be expected;
and the Man who has it in his power to conduct
any business on a more extended scale, is in no
respect justifiable in oppressing those whom he
must necessarily employ; and who are as neces.
sary,to him as the fruits of their honest labor is
to them.
lion. C. W. Cathcart.
We are pleased to learn that this sterling Demo
crat has been renominated bi l the Democracy of the
Laporte district, in Indiana; or a seat in Congress.
Mr. Cathcart is emphatically one of the People.—
A little more than. 20 years•ago, he crossed the
Alleghenies on foot,' with his baggage oh his back ;
reached Wheeling, and crossed the Ohio with only
123 cents in his pocket:; Made his way to the
north-western part. of Ohio, then into Michigan,
and afterwards into the Hoosier State, where he
has earned for himself a comfortable share of this
world's goods, and -a name for honesty and integri•
ty of purpose, which even his most inveterate po
litical opponents cannot deprive him of—if they
would. We wish him success; which we doubt
not his friends will-insure to. him.
Mr. Harris' New Directory,
It is expected, will be ready for delivery in July
next; and-it will no - doubt be very valuable as a
book of reference fur Merchants, Professional men,
and all others in public business. It will embrace' .
the name, residence, B:c., of all the inhabitants of
Pittsburgh, and.the 'adjoining cities and towns, in
cluding a circle of about five miles; and will con
tain the cards of most of the business men in the
several places. Dl r. Harris says that he has alrea
dy received the names of Gov. Snorts, and most
of the public officers at Harrisburgh, as subscri
bers ; and that he will have an agent to collect sub
scribers and procure advertisements:for the work;
in the principal Eastern cities. The work is well
worthy or a generous support.
Sons of Temperance.
' On yesterday, this Society made a Very impos
ing display, with banners, sashes, &c., &c. The

Mn. TIAIVPER:—Tbe following eXtreet, which I
take from a:litter just received by one of our most
respectable . holesale merchants on Wood street,
will no doubt be read with interest by vry, many
of our people. You will observe that The writer,
a highly intelligent map, and one who is hilly can
scions of the real state of that country, tells us of
their deplotable condition. AmeriCaus well de - -
serve the blessings and compliments showered up
on them by' the Irish.
This fully admonishes us not to release our Om
rious exertions in doing good to these famishing
millions. The extract will of itself speak more

CLONAKTLTT, (CORK,) May 1517
My Dear Cousin; •
The exertion now making in America, on be-
half of the poor of Ireland, is a sufficient proof of
the misery that exists this famine-stricken land,
Want of food, in proper quality and quantity, has
caused a train of diseases. Dysentery, dropsy,
fever, and numerous nameless diseases, are carry
ine thousands of victims daily to their graves.
The last i:mentioned, (fever,) being contagious,
is spreading rapidly, especijilly in Cork. and the
principal towns; apparently' occasioned from the
great influx of paupers to these places. I need
riot enter into detail in reference to the suffering
pool. The accounts set forth in our journals by
men of piety and probity, and which havt' drawn
forth the sympathies of America, are enough,—
suffice it to say that our circumstances up to the
present, are:no way improved; Lamentation and
mourning iirid woe" preseht themselves in our
streets and, highways. And with regard to the
future, those who imagined themselves safe from
the famine, begin now to see that they are not
be
yond the reach of the pestilence.
Mn. Entron:—The fact related to you, (and
published in your paper of this morning,) oT n
poor boy having been put into the cell in which
Reidel committed suicide, is destitute of truth in
every particular. Immediately after the death of
Reidel, the cell which he occupied was thoroughly
cleansed,-by scrubbing the floor and whitewashing
the walls ;---the bedding was also taken out gn the
same day—nor has it peen putinto any cell Sinde
and into the cell no person has been put for one
moment, since Reidel's body was carried out.

will ever be at least asfirm and unceasing us has
been my own. „My confidence in the. overruling
Providence of God is unqualified; so that I go to
the field of action fully assured that whatever may
befall me Will be for the best. I . feel proud to serve
my country in this her.appeal ; and should even
the worst death _ itself-- - -be my lot, I shall meet it

Italy.—A most diabolical /plot to murder the
Pope has.been diecovered. It was first found out

of the, conspirators to the Pope. Their intention
was to assassinate him while giving' udience to
'one of them who wee_appointed to . hill him. .
A Capuchin Priest presented himself Tor an-au
thence of the Pope. His Holiness requested his
name. 'f Ins he gave; but before. admitting him,
the Pope looked over the list of conspirators, and
finding the name of the Capuchin there, he imme
diately summoned Carbines, who, on the Capu
chires entrance, sifted him, and on Searching him,
found he !harl a brace of pistols and a poisoned
dagger about his person. - The Capuchin was con
veyed to prison. Many arrests took plaqe.
. The plot is no doubt a concerted one.

power to strengthen the'honorable impulse which'
undyed our countrymen in-this noble wort:, and the
Irish papers contain colutrins extracted from the
Boston Post upon the subject, and in commenda:
tion of the Captain of the Jarnestown. Captain
Forbes crossed the ocean in a national ship, as the
' agent of the people of this whole Ternary; not as the
representative of whips or democrats—Catholies
or Protestants—but of ,the .generous and sympa
thetic heart of a free people. Under such circum-
stances—we hold it to be a breach of faiih--al
traiturousact—for one charged with such a mission,
to become, voluntarily.-the instrument of narrow
party calumny,--of abuse of the very government
under whose authority he was enabled to' appear
in Ireland as the almoner of the 'population of a
great Republic. But this Capt. .F. has done, by,
, publishing a letter in the newspapers of Ireland,.
written by S: C. Phillips, of Salem, which stigma-,
'tires our government as acting disgraCefully, and
applying to it terms of bitter reproach. We say
this conduct is traitorous, because Capt. Forbes
was the agent of the friends of the administration,
as well as of its enemies—all party feeling or,
jealousy vl'as laid aside by the contributors; con
fiding in.his honor, sense of propriety, and justice,
no one contemplated that he would so Tar abuse'
his trust, as to insult, in the face of Europe, his
owri government; and tti outrage the feelings of a
large mass of his fellow-citizens, This, however,
we 'repeat, Capt. Forbes has done, by voluntarily
publishing in the Irish newspapers the following
private letter, as a part of the history of his voy.
" Mr erie stn: Were I a sailor, and could I
leave home, I should be proud to place myself un
der yens command in the novel and noble enter
prise upon which you are about to embark. I
can only aspire to the privilege of sending a sub
stitute; and I have therefore requested Mr. Dow- 1
ditch to pay to you, for my account, the amount of
wages that may become due , to an able seaman
for the whole voyage.
tt I bes ' you to accept my best wishes for your
safety and success. The blessing of Heaven must
go With you; and gratitude, as warm as ever flow
ed from human breast; will be your recompense.
Your name will be associated with an incident that
must make a part of the romance of history . , and
that cannot be forgotten until' philanthropy is ex
tinct on both sides of the Atlantic. It will be
your enviable distinction to cross :he ocean in the
command of an unarmed national vessel (with the
certainty of effecting a triumph.)

Character of the New England merchant and ship

must be used for the purpose of destroying rather,

SECRETARIES WALKER AND MARCY.
Extract front the Washington correspondence
of the Albany Argus :
Mr. Sectethry Worker has' just returned from
Baltimore, where he has been to consult an eminent
ptysician, regarding a singulor affection of the
thrum,' from which he has been suffering for some
time past, and which threatens to deprive him en
tirely of the power of speech. For weeks he has
not been able to speak—above a whisper, and now.
his physicians have interdicted his using his voice
at all, or at least until the affected organs are re
stored to strength.—Secretary 'Walker has been
laboring severely for months past, even When too
indisposed to leave his room, and oftentimes when
confined to his bed from physical prostration, has
had an amanuensis and short hand writer by his
bed side to write from his dictation.
No man at the seat of government has labored
hauler, or been more indefatigable in his exertions,
than Mr. Walker, except, perhaps, Gov. Marcy;
whose great powers of endurance, both of body
and mind, have enabled bim to discharge, in a
faithful and creditable manner, the almost over
whelming duties of his department, in providing
and fitting out the different : wieditions to New
Mexico, California; and those of the two armies
under Seolt and Taylor. The readiness and fad!.
ity with which he has directed these different ex
peditions over a-country of vast extent of territory,
and of the peculiarities of which our people are
almost entirely ignorant—the wisdom and fore
sight with which he has provided for the exigen
cies of the climate—the wants of the army in long
and tedious marches—and furhished the means of
wringing victory from the reluctant grasp of a
:desperate foe, have excited the surprise and won
the admiration of all parties. I have the authority
of the gallant Gen. Wm. 0. Butler, who was
wounded at Monterey, for saying that there never
wos an army b&tei provided ior, or better sup
plied in every way-, than that under Gen. Taylor ;
and the same may in truth be said of that under
Gen. Scott. -

Climate of 4mb-dia.—Mr. Martin, in his Colo
nial Library, observes : "I have felt a much great
er degree of oppression in , Caleutta, with-the ther
mometer at SD deg., and the atmosphere surcharged
with moisture, than in Newf South Wales, whf re
the mercury was at 125 deg. and the air of a parch.
ing dryness." I can easily credit it; for it is that
absence of steam and humidity that makes our
atmosphere-so clear. There.:is, however, a great
and sudden change during the winter months—
a
frost in the morning and the thermometer at 78
deg. in a few hours !. Six blankets over you at
night, and no waistcoat endulable at mid-day!--
Still, if deaths only occurred from the influence of
this climate, I think the bdrial" grounds would
never be filled; but, unfortonately, man will abuse
both constitution and climate; and, where one dies
naturally, twenty die with the "delirium tremens,"
or other diseases brought on by dissipation and
vice. Men could not lie for weeks with half a
blanket for a mattress, and the other half for a
cover, in any climate. Yet low many are obliged
to do it here ! Men could not, after, heavy labor,
hard work, arid inflamed blood, drink the coldest
water without feeling some bad effects from it in
England : here it is common- No person at borne

here it is the custom. No dampness; no fear of
catching cold! Australia can boast of a splendid

THE MERCY HOSPITAL
The Committee charged with the' erection of
Tin: HOSPITAL to be placed under the care of the
Sisters of Mercy, are happy to biable thanriciurice
that arrange rents are new:completed for corn
tneneihg the building. A spacious lot bas been
secured for the purpose in a healthy location. and
easy of access. It, is in the Eighth Ward, on
Stephenson street,• between Pennsylvania Avenue
ead the Monongahela river.•
•::In their ow•n name, and in the name of the
friends of the Institution, the Committee return
their mast sincere thanks to the ladies who exert
ed themselves so. much, and with such success in
getting up and conducting the late Fair for its ben
efit. Too much praise cannot be awarded to their
zeal. They feel it a duty also to return thanks to
the public for the liberal patronage bestowed upOn
it, and to.express the 'pleasure and gratitude they
felt in witnessing the cordial support it received
from their fellow-citizens of every class and creed.
The very handsoMe sum of $3,50 59, received
from this source . , is ample evidence of the gener
ous support it obtained, •
' The Cominittee are aware that another under
taking, similar in its object, is now before the pub.
lic. They themselves, andthey 4el assured
every other friend et the Msncr liosprrAr., would
at once abandon it if they thought itwas an oh
stack to the success of any other Institution that
would secure adequate provision for the sick of
I this city and- vicinity. Bat the Committee feel
eonfideht that they will be borne out in saying that
hitherto their efforts have, at least, taken nothing
from the other undertaking; and that in future the
two Institutions will have no other effect on one
another, but that of stimulating each other to
greater diligence in doing good.
The devotedness of the ladies who-will have
charge of the Mauer lioserrAr. is a guarantee to
those who make it a vehicle of their charity, that
what they bestow will be productive of the great
est possible amount of good. While the poor will.
be attended at the least possible expense, the at-
tension bestowed on them. as well as ob the
stranger and the hOmeless, will he or a character
that :can neither be bought nor hired, and will
make the Mite: Irosprrst,, under all - citeum ,
stances, a most valtaiMe addition to the charitable
gastitutions of our city. .
The Committee, therefore, now appeal with con-
fidence to the public at large for aid towards pay
ing foitbe lot and erecting thereon a Hospital, to
be placed under the care of the Sisters. of Mercy.
The extent of the building will depend — on the
amount of subscriptions they shall receive. The
Institution will be conduCted on the principles al
ready announced for that now in operation, and no
doubt is entertained of-its continuing to deserve
the very flattering opinions of its efficiency : ex
pressed by all those who had occasion to_ witness
its operations.
