One day as Mr. Lawson, a merchant tai lor. stood at bis culling board, a poorly dressed woman entered his shop, and ap proaching him, asked, wiih some embarrass mem and timidity, if he had any work to give out “What can you do V' asked the tailor, look ing coldly upon his visitor. “I can make pantaloons and vests,” an swered the girl. “Have you ever worked for a merchant tailor.” he asked “Yes, sir, I have worked for Mr. Wright,” replied the girl. "Has he nothing for you to do”’ “No, not just now ; he has regular hands who always get the preference ” “Did your work suit him ” “He never found fault with it ” “Where do you live ” “In Cherry street, No. ‘ Mr. Lawson stood ana mused for a short time. “I have a vest here,” he at length said, taking a small bundle from the shelf, “which 1 want by to-morrow evening at the latest.— If you think you cau do it very neatly, and nave it done in time you can lake it.” “It shall be one in time,” said the young woman, reaching out eagerly for the bundle. “And remember, I shall expect it well made If I like your work I will give you more.” “1 will endeavor to please you,” returned the vounggirl. “10-morrow evening, recollect.’ ‘'\es, sir: 1 will have it done ’ Tne girl turned and went quickly away. In a baclt room, in the third story of an old house in Cherry street, was the home of the noor sewing girl. As she entered, she said in a cheerful voice to her sick sister — "Mary, I have got work ; it is a vest, and L must have it done by 10-morrow evening.” "Can you finish it in time?” inquired the invalid m a feeble voice “Oh, yes easily.” I; nroved to be white Marseilles. As soon as the invalid saw ibis, she sain— “l am afraid vnu will not he able In gel il done in lime, Ellen ; you are not fast wnb the needle, and besides, you are very far irnm being well.” "Don't fear in die least, Mary ; I will do ah I engaged to do.’ Il was after dark the next night when Ellen finished the garment. She was weary anti faint, having taken no food since morn- in;. The want o; everything, and particu larly for herself and sister, made seventy-five cents, the sum she expected to receive for making the garment, a treasure in her imag ination. She hurried off with the vest the moment it was finished, saying to her sister, 'll wih he bacK as soon as possible, and bring you some cordial and something for otr supper and break fas'. ” “Here it is half-past eight o’clock, and the vest is not in yet, 1, said Mr. Lawson, in a fretful lone. “I had mv doubts about the gir' when I gave it to her. But she looked sc poor, and seemed so earnest about the work, that 1 was weak enough to cmrusi her with the garment.” At tins moment Ellen came in and laid the vest on the counter, wnere Mr. Lawson was standing. She said nothing, neither did he. Taking the vest, be unfolded it in a manner which plainly mowed him not to be in a very placid frame o mmo. “uoodnoss 1-1 be ejaculated, turning over tbc garment, and looking at the girl. She sarunk back from the counter and looked fruitilenec “M el., this is a pretty job for one to bring tr.sniu the tailor in an excited tone of voice: “a pretty job indeed!” at the same time tossing the vest away from him in angry contempt, and walking off to another part of tbc store Ellen remained at the counter. At length he said to her. “You need not stand there Miss, thinking 1 am going to pay you for ruining a job. It is bad enough to lose my materia', and customer. In justice you should pay me for the vest; but there is no hope for that; so lake yourself off, and never let me set eyes on you again, Ellen made no reply; she turned round, raised her hand to her forehead, and burst ing into tears, walked slowly away. A Tier Ellen had gone, Mr. Lawson re lumed lo ihe front part of the store, and •suing up the veal brought it back to where >n elderly man was sitting, and holding it towards him, said, by way of apology for lr,e part he had taken in the little scene.— ‘Thai is a beautiful article for a gentleman to wear, isn't it I 1 * The man made no re- P'y. and the tailor, after a pause, added, “I refused lo pay' hdr jif a matter of principle. She knew she could not make the garment w hen she took it away. She will be more careful how she tries to impose herself upon customer tailors os a good vest maker.” “Perhaps,” said the elderly gentleman in a rplld way, necessity drove her lo under take a job that required greater skill than she possessed. She certainly looked very poor.” "It wits because she appeared so poor and miserable (hjtl I was weak enough to place ihe vest in her hands,” replied Hr. Lawson m a lest severe lone of voice. "But it was ,n imposition for her to ask for work she did cot know how to make.” 1 ’ "Mr. Lawsop,” said the old genflemnn who was known.ob'B pious and good , man, ' y c should not blame with 100 much seven- For the AffUaior.

The fact that a young girl, like the one who was just here is willing, in her extreme poverty, to labor instead of sinking into vice and idleness, shows her to possess true virtue and integrity of charac ter, and that we should be willing to encour age, evert at some sacrifice. Work is slack now, as you are aware, and Ihere is but lit tie doubt that she had been to many places seeking employment before she came to you. It may be that she and others are dependent' upon the receipt of the money that was ex pected to be paid for making the vest you hold in your hand. The expression as she turned away, her lingering steps, her droop ing form, and het whole demeanor, had in them a language which told mi of nil this, and even more.” A charge came over the tailor’s counte nance. “1 didn’t think of that,” fell in a low lone from his lips. “I did not think you did, brolher Lawson,” said his monitor; “we are all more apt to think of ourselves than others. The girl promised the vest this evening; and so far as that was concerned, she performed her contract. Is the vest made very badly?” Mr. Lawson took up the garment and ex amined it more closely. “Well, I can’t say that it is badly done, hut dreadfully soiled and rumpled ; and il is not as neat a job ns it should, he, nor at all such as I wished it.” “All this is very annoying, of course; but still, we should be willing to make some ex cuse for the short-coming of others. The poor girl may have a sick mother to attend io which constantly interrupied her, and un der sudh circumstances, you could barely wonder if ihe garment should come some what soiled from under her hands. All this may be the case ; and if so, you could not' find it in your heart io speak unkindly to the poor creature, much less turn her away an grily, and without the money she toiled for so earnestly.” “1 did not think of lhat,” was murmur ed in a low, suppressed tone of voice. Ellen on re'urning home, entered Ihe room, and without uttering a word, threw herself upon the bed by the side of her sick sister and burying her face in a pillow, en deavored to smother the sobs, that came up convulsive in her bosom. Mary asked no questions. She undor- Moud the cause of Ellen’s agitation. It told her ihat she hnd been disappoin'ed in her ex pectation of receiving Ihe money for her work. Just at lhat'moment there was a knock at the door, hut no voice hid the applicant for admission to enter. Il was repealed, hut il met with no response. Then the latch was lifted, the door swung open, and the tailor stepped into the room. The sound of feel aroused the distressed sisters, and Ellen raised herself up, and looked at Mr. Lawson with a counlenunce suffused with lears. “1 fell that 1 did wrong in speaking to you in the way that 1 did,” said Mr. Lawson, advancing toward the bed, and holding out to Ellen the money that she had earned “Here is the price of the vest. It was bet ter made than I first thought it was. To morrow 1 will send you more work. Try to cheer up.” “Mr. Lawson, finding that his presence was embarrassing, withdrew, leaving the two sisters so deeply affected that they could but look at him with thankfulness. Shortly after this they received a basket, m which was a supply of nourishing fond, and a sum of money to procure such arti cles as might be necessary for the sick sister. Though no one’s name was sent with it they were not in doubt as to the individual who sent it. Mr. Lawson was not an unfeeling man, but, like too many others in the world, he did not always think. Qdack Doctors. —There is no disease of dreaded name for which tlipse oracles cannot furnish a cure. Asthma and consumption are disarmed of their terrors ; gout is now hut on harmless bugbear; and il any suffer or die of cancer, it must he the fault of their own obstinacy or incredulity. The diseases of childhood need give little concern; they are anodynes which allay the pain of teeth ing ; there are worm lozenges which no rep tile can resist; and there are washes which infallibly cure and beautify the skin. Labo rious investigation of disease is unnecessary ; the doctor does not need to see his patient, who has only to sond a letter describing his case, with the usual fee ; and the remedy will come to the remotest corner of the kingdom. Even this trouble may often be dispensed with , a patient has merely to consider wheth er he is bilious or nervous ; whether his skin or his bowels are in the lault; whether he needs stimulants or evacuonts; and pills, and cordials, and balsams of unerring efficacy, are lo be found in every town, ready lo his hand. Of the truth of these statements there cannot be a doubt, as numberless cures are attested by those yvho have tried them, and whose benevolence prompts them lo publish, fif the benefit of mankind,' the advantage they have experienced in themselves or their families.— Macauley's Dictionary of Medi cine. ■ • Let a bachelor get a scratch upon his face, and it is said he has been in an awful fight; but when a married men appears wjih two black eyes, a swollen face, and.a sevpre headache, it is only said that he has fallen into a little “love spat.” A primer down Smith offers to sell his whole establishment for a clean shirt and a meal of victuals.

WISDOM.” The Interior of an Arab House in Damascus. Translated by the Tribune from SL Bray de Buyter. During my travels I had'dften expressed (o Ibrahim my earnest desire to see the interior of an Arab bouse, and lo'come to a heller un derstanding of (he peculiar customs of the domestic life of the Arabs. Ibrahim had given me encouragement of this, saying that on our return lo Damascus he might perhaps find an opportunity to satisfy my curiosity. I did not forget this promise, and reminded him of it on the very day of our arrival in this city. “1 will broach the matter in my own family,” he answered, “ and if I do not meet with 100 serious objections you shall dine with my brother.” This pleasing pros pect gave me great happiness, and 1 expressed to him my perfect satisfaction at (he arrange ment. Two days afterward he sent me word that I was expected to dinner next day by his family. I joyfully accepted the invitation, and I begged him that nothing might be changed from their usual customs and that they would receive mens ifl were really one of the family. “You will see,” 1 added, “that the least innovation will be fatal lo the object which I have in view,” “Rest assu-, red,” he replied, “that everything shall be according to your wishes,” The appointed hour came. Ibriham called to take me lo his brother’s house and introduce me to his family. Bending the head to the knee, 1 entered a little square room around which were seats of stone. It is in anterooms of this kind that the Mussulmans receive visits, and one sel dom succeeds in penetrating into the interior of (heir houses. A door leads from this room into a court paved with white marble, in the center of which is an octagonal basin with a fountain; a. double row of pillars with ornamental arches run around it. Before the door by which I had entered was a staircase leading lo thu single rooms. The room into which I was ushered was furnished in the usual Moorish stylo. There was a wood di van, the walls were covered lo the height of six or seven feet with rhnmboidal plates of delft ware, and a mpt, also checked off in rhomboids, covered ’the floor. The aged father of Ibrahim andlhis brother, a youth of about eighteen, sat barefooted and cross legged on the divan, solemnly and earnestly smoking their chibouques. At my entrance the old man gave me a friendly greeting and invited me to sit down by his side. Coffee and « chibouque were ordered forthwith. A table about a foot high stood in the middle of (he room ; carpels and pillows supplied the place of chairs. In a few minutes Ibrahim reappeared with ihree young women dressed ornamentally and picturesquely ; they ap proached me, look my hands and pressed them respectfully lo their lips. Two of these women were no! without beamy, the ihird was rather graceful than pretty; I heir golden yellow complexion was not without iis at traciion ; their eyes and black hair gave a boldness to their expression which was some what softened by the magnificence of their long pendant lashes. The apparent size of these was still increased by narrow black lines in prolongation at the corner of the eye. Upon the bosom they wore two little blue (lowers, and they were tattooed, one on the upper part of the nose between the eye brows and the other on the chin. Their feet were bare ; their finger and toe-nails were stained reddish-brown, and their ankles were ornamented with heavy metallic bands. On the head they wore little red caps with golden borders and a large golden tassel in the shape of an acorn pendant from the top. Long braids of hair, on which were strung small gold coins, completed that part of the toilette. A. very short velvet jacket with a rich border like that of ihe cap, served them in some measure as n bodice, it was quite open in front, leaving the neck entirely uncovered. The Moorish women have not adopted cor sets, and even yet corpulence is considered among them to be the perfection of beauty; but upon Europeans whose idea of beauty differs from that of the Musslemans, this sort of display has but little effect, A silk tunic with open sleeves reaches a little below the knee. Wide trowsers of the same stuff were seen below over the bare ankles. A rich damask girdle bordered with silk and gold, with both ends hanging down, encircled the hips loosely, and the bare arms were orna mented with bracelets. The whole dress was, if one did not judge it by a 100 rigid rule of propr.ety, very pretty and picturesque. Im mediately after the entrance of these ladies, about a dpzen dishes were set on the table, a sort of soup, game, koos koos, consisting of chopped fish and rice, dumplings fried in oil and served up on grape leaves, grapes also, dates, pomegranates and confectionary. All these were set on .the table at the same time, and every one loaded his plate with different things at once; it was a real “Macedoine” A single glass, a very large one, filled with cold water, served for guest and .hosts ; hands undertook (he service, of knives ‘ tjnd forks. Only .one, of these ladies sat at,table,, the other two waited pn us. My place .wasj by the side of the lady. The particular pieces which one preferred' he took frpih, the dish with hia hand.

I was ili \ i really amazed at the'confidence of Ihe dainty hand when it took possession of d morsel which I was just aboui to put irt' my own mnulh. So great familiarity surpassed thy comprehension. My host ’ noticed the im pression made upon me and endeavored to re move it by saying that such a freedom was customary ; that 1 also had the right lo do thesameithing, and it would not be considered improper. So 1 made use of this right by taking, a moment afterward, a piece of game from the plate of my fair neighbor, taking care, however, not to select the most delicate. This adventure, which I consider to be a remarkable piece of good fortune, gave me great happiness, and 1 did not dream of meet ing anything so much more piquant in my study of Arab customs as to show me that my picture was yet a mere sketch. Listen : I had not yet recovered from the conster nation into which my beautiful brown neigh bor, whom I had begun lo look upon with pe culiar pleasure, had thrown me, when 1 saw het lake up a small quantity of hashed meat in Ihe hallow of her hand, and shape it into a little ball. 1 could not divino the destina tion which she intended for her performance, and followed every movement with anxious eye. When she had finished it, she bit off a piece, and then holding it in her fingers, with out farther ceremony, she tried to put it in my mouth, Astonished at this incomprehen sible familiarity, and a little frightened at the consequence which it might have, I drew back my head, and threw a painful questioning look at Ibrahim, who burst out laughing. This led me to the conclusion that my pleas nnt Mooress was playing a joke upon me, and making herself merry at my expense. I did not conceal my vexation from my pa tron, who answered : “Be assured she is not esting with you as you think ; on the con trary, she is showing you great favor , and high esteem ; lake it willingly. Our women never see foreigners, anJ know nothing of their manners; they think they must treat you in tho same way in which they treat us.” After this explanation, 1 received the peculiar gift, yet not without casting a shy,' distrustful glance on the charming hand which offered it. It however remained faultlessly open. I was now curious to know whether the expressions of favor nnd es’eem which I had already received would not be followed by still others; for after what had happened the most impossible thing could not have sur prised me. At last a young negro went round the table with a metallic basin filled with water, into which the guests dipped their fingers and dropped a fow dropa of essence. We had‘now been sitting at table two hours, and gradually 1 became weary of the Turkish dinner, but especially of my com panion. I feared every moment some new expression of esteem on the head of the beautifulod.ilisk, and my European ears could not dwell upon tho loud sounds of satisfac tion and of digestion which were continually heard from all present —the lady who bad shown so great interest in me during the meal not excepted—and which were always received with the same greeting which is giv. en to a sneezo in some portions of Europe. Wearied with long sitting, I at last begged our kindly host that we might be excused, as my knees had been in such a position during meal that they were almost broken. We therefore took seats on the divan where cof. fee and chibouques were immediately handed us. Now begun the most deafening noise that 1 ever heard in my life. The ladies wished that the foreigner from France should receive the best possible impression of the loveliness of the Arabian fair, and they de sired to set the crown upon the friendly re ception which they had already vouchsafed tome; they therefore began to beat away with two sticks on their Sarahuke, and struck up such a hnrbirousand inharmonious song that I nearly lost sight and hearing. Every stanza ended with a sharp cry given by all three together; then for a refrain they heat away again on their noisy, monotonous in struments. Jt was unendurable, and had not an idea of propriety restrained my impatience I should have begged them instanter not to lake so great pains. Fresh Air.— Horace Mann has well said, “People who shudder,at a flesh wound and a trickle of bloood, will confine their children like convicts, and compel them month after mdnih to breathe quantities of poison. It would less impair the mental and physical constitutions of children, gradually to draw an ounce of blood from .their veins, during lhq,same length of lime, than to send them to breathe, for six hours in a day, the life, less and poisoned air of some of our school rooms. Let any man who voles for confin ing children io small rooms, and keeping them on stagnant air, try the experiment of breathing his own breath only four limes over; and if medical aid be npt on hand, the children will never be endangered by his vote afterward.” ■ ■ Hall tells a good alory of an old maid j living in his neighborhood, Vory I desirous o£ gol(ii)ig.)n)irriec[) we,suppose jsqe was. twenty,six .or aev.en,ithal.being about as old, as. they generally get.

Quoth the minister, 1 Colonel how does it happen, that a man of your extensive influ ence and information, has never seen it to be his duty to join our society. You know we want laborers in the vineyard; especially such laborers as you. Your example would tend, greatly to strengthen our hands, and fortify our hearts against the dire assaults of the evil one.” “Well, brother,” replied Allen, "I have often thought as you ,do about the business, and one day I had almost made up my mind to full into the ranks, but that night I had a dream which caused me to give it up.” “Ah !” exclaimed the minister, what did you dream ?” “Well, I thought I was standing at the entrance of Paradise, and saw a man go up and knock. “Who’s that,” asked a'voice from within. “A friend wishing admittance,” was the reply, Tho door wfas opened and the keeper stepped out. “Well, sir, what denomination did you be long to down yonder?” “1 was an Episcopalian,” replied the can didate for admission. “Go in then, and take a seat near the door on the east side.” Just then another stepped up, he was a Presbyterian, and the guardian directed him to a scat. A large number were admitted and received directions where to seal them selves. I then stepped up to the entrance. “Well, sir, what are you?” asked the guardian. “1 am neither High-Churchman, Presbyte rian, Lutheran, Calvinist, Caihnlic or Jew, but I am that same old Ethan Allen that you probably have heard of from down below.” “What the man that took Xiconderoga ?” “The same,” I replied. “All right Ethan,” said he, “just step in and sit down wherever you please .” A picture in the Book of Life. “Please kind lady have pity on the poor boy’s mother ma’am,” was tho appeal of a half starved little fellow as 1 was passing along one of the by streets in the great world of New York, The plaintive (one so unlike those which almost every moment met ray ears, interested my sympathies, and I delCnrtined to find the “poor boy’s mother’’ who was forced to the dire necessity! of exposing her little one to the temptations wjiieh awaitehildren in the streets.
