THE SEAMSTRESS "f was sad to seo the light in these bide eyes Fade, day by day : To mark the struggle of that brave young heart, Against adversity. pnrcH—stitch—and the sound of the needle fell at regular intervals, as Emily Ashton's slender, weary fingers flew over the beautiful piece of gossamer that was to attire a fashiOna• be belle that evening. " Emily, you will be worn out with this tedious work," said her mother, a pale invalid, as she raised herself from the little sofa on which she was reclining ; " do put your work down and rest a little while." '• .Mother, I cannot all'ord to rest ; this dress has to be in Portland Square by seven . o'clock ; you know Mrs. Anderson owes me three d lari; she has promised to pay all up this even ing—and tbcu 'we will get some little things that we want sailiy." And she glanced al the empty stove, :aid round the miserable apart ment. " 0 ! niamma : if I could only get the sewing for a few more families, I should feel encour aged ; but in sewing for these stores, it's work, vo k, end the remuneration barely pays the rent. If this continues. I cannot tell how we are to live." Well, dear, we must hone for better times. Do you not think you might, in time, have a few pupils for music and drawing ? It would not be so hard for you, and you are so clever in those accomplishments." " We are too poor, mamma ; who would be lieve that the poor seamstress was talented and accomplished ? No, by sewing only can I hope to make a living." " Emily—dm ling—if your poor father had lived, we should not be in this miserable dondi tion. My child, if ever yon should be prosper ous in life, never live up to your full income.— Let our position now be a warning to you ; practice economy. and then you will be pre pared for the sudden changes that sometimes occur in this life." Emily smiled faintly ns she thought of the little hope there was of her future prosperity, and steadily the needle flew over the work.— Stitch, stitch, and four o'clock strikes, five—six —and, at half past six, she shook out the ele gant ball dro,s ; and. hastily seizing her old bonnet and shawl, she hurried to the fashiona ble residence of Mrs. Anderson. The servant opened the door, and said the ladies were waiting for her in the dressing-rood'. t , 0 ! mn—here'S the dress-maker with my dress. We thought you were not coming," said the young lady, and I felt dreadfully un- cam" " Yes, Miss Ashton," said Mrs. Anderson, "I trust you will be more punctual with our work : indeed I cannot employ any person that would be likely to disappoint me." " I promised the dress at seven, madam ; I think it is not later now." " Ah ! well, I shall have more work for you next week, and trill settle for all, then." " But, madam, you promised me the money to night—indeed, I want it." " Really- Miss Ashton, you are very pressing for a paltry three dollars. I am not going to run away, I assure you." Emily's voice faltered as she said—" You will oblige Inc very much by paying that money to-night. It may appear a trifling sum to you, but my mother is very sick, and it is of great importance that I should have it." " Indeed, Miss Ashton, I consider you very insulting ; it is not convenient, and I shall not pay it now, that's certain ;" and the beartleis woman swept out of the room. Brushing the tears from her cheek, Emily left the house and walked on for some distance ; but as the picture of her desolate home and her mother's disappointment presented itself, she was overcome with grief; and sitting down on some stone steps, she wept bitterly.. 0, daughters of opulence--brought up in the enjoyment of every luxury, petted and indulged kora cradle, taught to look down upon and des pise all those who are not in as good a worldly position ns yourselves--have you no pity ? Do y6u think it is right to grind down the - poor, and withhold from them their hard. earnings"? Take care that the day of adversity comes not lIE upon you, and the unkind treatment you scat ter around fulls not upon ,your own heads! Emily was still sobbing, when she was start led, by some person addressing her. " IVill you allow me to inquire into the cause of your distress ?" said a kind, manly voice. She looked up, and having had a slight roc collection of having seen his face before, she would have walked on. " You will not tell me ? Well, I know the cause of it—l am Mrs. Anderson's son, and ac cidentally overheard p. portion of the conversa• lion. I am sorry my mother .did not pay that bill ; will you permit me to do so ? You will not ? I insist upon it ; I shall speak to my mother and sister concerning this payment of bills ; their conduct is truly disgraceful."— And his fine dark eyes flakhed with indignation. CIT.IPTEIt "MISS ASIITON—you will find the parcel to contain some embroidery, which I should like you to finish by the end of next week ; the pat. tern is enclosed. I will send the servant for it When finished and will pay you handsomely. " E. lIMIRINGTON." " Dear mamma, this must also have been sent through Mr. Anderson's recommendation. How very kind he is. I can easily do this by the end of next week." " Very kind indeed, Emily ; perhaps I may bo able to help you ; I feel much better, to day." " I'm very - glad to hear you say so, mam ma," said Emily ; and opening the parcel, she commenced the beautiful work at once. The next evening Emily sat industriously sowing; her countenance looked more cheerful than usual ; it as a very pretty countenance too ; fair and intellectual—large. soft blue Q . ( s that seemed to have borrowed their Leautiful color from a mid summer night's sky, and au burn hair, falling in thick curls, brightly gleam ing as the sunbeams played upon them.. Mrs. Ashton came hurriedly into the little "Row give me your address.; nay. do no; hesitate ; I will be a true friend to you." Emily mentioned the street and the number of the house ; and, wishing him good evening proceeded home with a lighter hurt. ---- Mrs. Ashton began to feel uneasy at her daughter's long absence, and felt relieved when she heard her light step on the stairs. " Mamma how do you feel now ?" she said. tenderly. " I feel very weak, Emily, and my head aches violently ; you have been away long—what has kept you darling ?" " I have been detained, and Lit afraid I should not get the money. I will tell you all about it ;. but, first, I must get the medicine, ands little wine, and something nice for you to eat. My poor mamma, you are faint ;" and, kissing her, she hurried off to make the necessary purchases. She soon returned, and, after giving her mother the medicine and a little wine and water, she put the room to rights, lighted a fire in the stove, which soon sent out a cheerful blaze. put on a little kettle, and made preparationS for tea. . They had waited long for it that evening, and the cup of tea seemed very refreshing to Emily after her long walk. She then related to her mother the result of her journey. " My dear child, how could they thus insult you ?" said Mrs. Ashton. " I did nOt_ mind the insult so much. but I was afraid I should not have the money to get you the tnedinine and wine ; you knew the doctor said it was weakness only that kept you so low ; and when I cannot get you the thing, he ordered, I feel bitterly the misery of our pov erty." The next morning Emily counted over her little store of money, and said—" Mamma. what shall I do about the rent ? we owe for six weeks now,-and a dollar is all I can possibly spare. We shall be able to pay it up when this embroidery is finished, but I am afraid Mr. Brown will not wait so long." • " Well, you must call and tell him, my dear ; think he will wait—he has been very kind in doing so before." " I will go," said Emily ; and. putting on her bonnet and scarf, she started on her disa grecable errand. • " Good morning, 'Misr Ashton," said Mr. Brown, smiling pleasantly as she entered his office " how do you do this morning ? take n seat, Miss; it's a warm morning, is it not ?" " Good morning, sir ; it is very warm. M Brown, I'm afraid you will be disannninm about our rent; I am not able to pay it all tbi morning." "It is paid already. Miss Ashton. A gon tle man called here about an hour ago and paid up the back rent, and for six months in advanne • he requested me to give you the receipts ; herr they are." " I'm much obliged to you sir ; did the gen eman give his name ?" " He did not. miss." " Good morning, sir.". " Good morning. Mks." And Emily returned home, astonished at the generosity of her new friend. Mrs. Ashton's spirits rose considerably as she listened to Emily's account of her interview with the landlord. " Wo have indeed found a generous friend Emily," she said ; " wo can get along nicrl% now. There are two notes on the table for you dear, and a parcel of work." • She opened One—it was from Mrs;Anderson saying that she should not require Miss Ash ton to.do any more sewing for her. Emily sighed as she put it in the fire. and then opened the other. ' It was from a strange lady, and read as follows : CHAPTER II Look to the future ; •stern misfortune Slowly, surely, will depart ; Sunny flowers will blossom round thee, And thoughts ofjoy will fill thy heart •;itting.rocan, saying, " Emily, a gentlemat wishes to see you." The gentleman had followed her in. and Em ily, rising, recognized Mr. Anderson. She troduced.him to her mother, and then essayed to thank him for his kindness ; but failing in the efrwt, burst into tears. " Nay. my dear Miss Ashton, I am happy in being able to serve you; and only regret not having bud the opportunity sooner. I aril an eccentric old bachelor, ladies, and, with your permission, will stay an hour or two.— Miss Ashton, will you oblige me by putting down that work and resting those busy fingers for one evening ?" Mr. A ndersol WA§ an entertaining compan ion, and they were soon engaged in an animated conversation. Before leaving them, he said. " Mrs. Ashton. will you consider the in the fight of a true, disinterested friend, and not Peel offended at the liberty I may seem to take n prying into your affairs ?" " I feel proud to call you my friend, Mr. An derson." said Mrs. Ashton. " Then, my dear madam, will you have any objection to relate to me your previous history, to-morrow evening ?" " I will relate it with pleasure, sir." He cordially shook hands with them, and wishing them good might. parted. The next . evening, punctually at six o'clock, Mr. Anderson presented hinistlf, and after a little general conversation. reminded Mr:. Ash ion of her promise of the previous evening. " I will tell you our hktory, sir : it is not a very striking one." said she, smiling faintly. "Mr husband. Mr. Ash'on, vas a general merchant in New York. He had a partner in Liverpool : they speculated a good deal, I be lieve. I always understood my husband's cir cumstances to be extremely good. We lived in considerable style, and Moved in the first so ciety of New York. About eighteen months ago my husband's death was caused very sud denly 'by disease of the hetirt. Mr. Howard, his partner, came over from Liverpool to settle the affairs. After considerable delay, he in formed me that all was settltd, that there was not a cent left, and he was a ruined man, hav ing spent all his means in bringing the busi ness to a close. Reappeared to be much affec ted. and desired me to examine the books ; but I did not understand them. A short time af ter this our furniture was seized and sold for the payment of a heavy bill whrch I was not aware was owing. We then sold the plate, and with the money obtained for it we left the the city of New York and Carrie to Baltimore. Poor Emily has strog.tled hard in the world for the I igt t welve months: I have not been able to assist her, having been sick all the And so you 'are the widow of my kind friend Ashton.

I will not wri!e, but if I have good news I will brim: it myself." Soon.after he departed, and hope once more visited the hearts of the mother and daughter. Mr. Andrson. upon arriving in New York, immediately waited upon Mr. Simpson, the so licitor, and stalk(' his business, saying that he would be responsible for all the expenses ; and requested him to give particular attention to the case. Upon inquiry it was found that Mr. Howard was in Liverpool, and had the books with him. An agent was immediately dispatched with or ders to examine the books and send a state ment by the return mail. He did so, and wrote, saying that, according to the books, there should have been fifteen thousand dollars Coming to Mr. Ashton's widow. The solicitor then wrote to Mr. Howard. saying, that if he did not immediately come over and refund the money, or pay it to his agent, he should corn- Menee an action against him on Mrs. Ashton's behalf on the charge of fraud and embizzle ment. This letter alarmed Mr. Howard con siderably ; he found ho was completely caught, and so made prompt arrangements for paying the money. In two short months everything was satisfac torily settled, and Mr. Anderson returned to Mrs. Ashton with tic pleasing intelligence that she was the possessor of fifteen thousand dollars. He accompanied the ladies to New York, and saw them comvortably reinstated in their old hi me. 'As Mrs. Ashton gazed upon each familiar sp . ., her heart was filled with thankfulness, and, turning to fir. Anderson, she said, " How A few weeks later, the poor, despised, though falented and accomplished seatnstress'i stood before the altar, the envied bride of the wealthy merchant, Frank Anderson. Very lovely she looked, as she stood by the side of the noble bridegroom, breathing, softly the vows that were to hind her to him forayer.

Guano, as most people understand, is import ed from the Islands of the Pacific—mostly of the Chincha group, off the coast of Peru, and under the dominion of that ,government, Its sale is made a monopoly, and the avails to a great extent go to ray the British holders of Peruvian government bonds, giving them, to all intents and purposes, a lien upon the profits of a treasure intrinsically more valuable than the pia mines of California. There are depos its of this unsurpassed fertilizer in some places to the depth of sixty or seventy feet, and over large extents of surface. The *guano fields are generally conceded to be the excrements of acquatic fowls which live and nestle in great numbers around the islands. They seem de signed by nature to rosette, at least in part, that untold amount of fertilizing material which every river and brooklet is rolling into the sea. The wash of alluvial soils, the floating refits° of the field and forest, and, above all, the wasted materials of great cities are constantly being carried by tidal currents out to sea. These, to a certain extent at least, go to nourish, directly or indirectly, sub-matins vegetable and animal life, which in torn g,ts to feed the birds which at our day are bronp,ht away by the ship load from the Chinea The bird is a beautifully arranged chemical lahoritory, fitted-up to pertinln a single opera tion, viz :—to take the fish as food, burn out the carbon by means of its respiratory func !inns, and deposit the remainder in the shape of an incomparable. fertilizer. But how many ages may these depositions of seventy feet in thickness have been accumulating ? There are at the present day countless num bers of birds resting upon the islands at night ; aceoriline: to Baron Humboldt. the excre ments of the birds, for the space of three cen turies would not form a stratum over one-third of an inch in thiekness. By an, easy mathe matical calculation it will be seen,-that at this rate of deposition, it would take seven thousand five and sixty centuries, or seven hundred and fiftysix thousand years, to form the deepest guano bed ! Such a calculation carries us back well on towards a former geological period, and proves one. and perhaps both, of two things— that in past ages an infinitely greater number of those birds, hovered over these islands ; nod secondly, that the material world existed at a eriod long anterior to its fitness as the abode of man. The length of man's existence is in finitesimal. compared with such a cycle of years ; and the fllcts recorded on every leaf of the material universe, ought, if it does not, leach us humility, That a little bird, whose . individual existence is as nothing, should, in its united action, produce the means of bring ing, back to an active fertility whole provinces of waste and barren islands is one of a thousand facts to show how apparently insignificant agencies in the economy of nature produce me. mentous results.--London farincr's Magazine.
