The father roused his child; Her daily morsel bringing, The darksome room he paced, And cried "the bell is ringing, My helpless darling, haste !" '•Father, I'm up, but weary, 1 scarce can reach the door, And long the way and dreary, Oh, carry me once more ! To help us, we've no mother • You've no employment nigh, They killed my little brother. Like him, I'll work—and die !" Her wasted form seemed nothing, The load was at the heart, The sufferer he kept soothing, Till at the mill they part. The overlooker mellior, As to her frame she crept, And with his thong he beat her, And cursed her as she wept Alas, what hours of sorrow, Made up her latest day, Those hours that bro ight no morrow, Too slowly passed away ; It Beemed as Hhe grew weaker, The threads the oftener broke, Hte rapid wheels ran quicker, And heavier fell the stroke. The sun had long descended, But night brought no reposo ; Her day began and ended, As cruel tyrants choose. At length to a little neighbor, A half penny she paid. To take hor last hour's labor, While by her frame she laid. At last, the engines ceasing, The captives homeward rushed, She thought her strength increasing, 'Twas liope her spirits flushed. She left, but oft she tairied; She fell, and rose no moro, Till, by her comrades carried, She reached her father's door. At night, with tortured feelings, Ho watched his sleepless child, And close beside her kneeling, She knew him not, nor smiled. Again the factory's running, He last preceptions tried, When from her straw bed springing, " 'Tis time!" she shrieked, and died. That night a chariot passed her, While on the ground she lay, The daughter of her master, An evening visit to pay. There, tender hearts were sighing, As negro's wrongs were told, While the white slavo was dying, Who gained their father's gold! Incident of Byron. BT N. P. WILLIS. It was getting towards midnight when a party of young noblemen came outfrom one of the clubs of St. James Street. The ser vant of each, as he stepped upon the pave ment threw up tho wooden apron of ca briolet, and sprang to the head of the horse, but, as to the destination of the equipages for the evening, there seemed to be some dissension among the noble masters. Be twixt the line of coronet vehicles stood a hackney coach, and a person in an attitude of oager expectancy pressed as noar the ex hilirated group as he could do without exci ting immediato attention. "Which way!" said he whose vehicle was near, standing with his foot on the step. "Altogether, of course," said another. "Let's make a night of it." "Pardon me," said the deep and sweet voice of the last out of the club: "I sccedo for one. Go your ways, gentlemen!" Byron stood looking after them for a mo ment, and raised his hat ansl pressed b" a hand on his forehead. The unknown per son who had beeu lurking near, seemed bil ling to leave him for a momont to his thoughts or was embarrassed at approaching a stra „. ger. As Byron turned with h jlg half halting steps, however, he camq suddenly to his side. "Aly lord P'ho said, and was silent as if """ting permission logo on. •.k "."'i. "r"''® 1 * J'y oo . 'urning to him without the least d , ooki close ly into his face by the light or S | toet lamp. "I come to you with an errand, which per haps—'' "A 6trange one I ain sure, but I am pre pared for it—l have been forewarned of it. What do you require of me ?—for I am ready!" "This is strange!" exclaimed the man. "Has another messenger, then—'' "None except a spirit—for my heart alone told I should be wanted at this hour. Speak 1 at once." "My lord, a df ing girl lias sent for you !" "Do I kuow her?" "She has never seen you, Will yon come Trath Mi Right—God' Mi oifr Covitry. at once, and on the way I will pxplaio to you what I can of this singular, errand; though, indeed, wden it is told you, you know all that I comprehend." n They were at the door of the hackeny coach when Byron entered it without further remark. " Back again!" said the strauger, as" the coachman closed the.dooi, "and drive for dear life, for wo will scarce bo in time, 1 fear!" The heavy tonguo of St. Paul's struck twelve and the rolling vehicle hurried on through the lonely street, and though so far from the place whence they started, neither of the two occupants had spoken. Byron sat with folded arms and bare head it) the corner of the coach; and the stranger, with his hat crowded over his eyes, seemed sup pressing some violent emotion; and it was only when they stopped before a low door in a strpct close upon the river, that the latter found utterance. "Is she alive 1" ho horridly asked of a woman who came,out at the sound of the carriage wheels. "She was, a moment since—but be quick!" Byron followed quickly on the heels of his companion, and passing through a dimly lighted entry to the back room they enHred, A lamp shaded by a curtain of spotless pu rity threw a faint light upon a bed, upon which lay a girl watched by a physician and a nurse. The physician had just removed a small mirror from her lips, and holding it to the light he whispered that she still breathed. As Byron passed, the dying girl moved the ii ngers of the hand lying on the coverlet; and slowly opened her languid eyes—eyes of iuexpressible depth and lustre. No one had spoken. "He is here!" she murmured. "Raise me, mother, while I have time to speak to him." Byron looked around the small chamber, trying in vain to break the spelt of awe which the scene threw over hjm. Appari tion from another world could not have checked more fearfully and completely the more worldly and scornful undercurrent of hisnature. He stood with his heart, beating almost audibly, his knees trembling beneath j him, awaiting what he prophetically felt to be a warning from the very gate of heaven. Proped on pillows, and left by her atten dants, the dying girl turned her head towards the proud poet and coble standing by the bed side, and a slight blush over spread her fea tures' while a smile of angelic beauty stole through her lips. In that smile the face rewakened to its for mer lovliness, and seldom had he who now gazed brea hlessly upon her looked on such incomparable beauty. The spacious forehead and noble contour still visible, of the emaci ated lips, bespoke genious impressed on a 'ablet all feminine in its language; and in the motion of her hands; and even in the slight movment of her graceful neck, the re was somethiug that still breathed of surpass ing elegance. It was the shadowy wreck of no ordinary mortal passing aw ay—humble as were the surroundings, and strange r had been his summons to her bedside. "And this is Byron!,, she said, at last, in a voice bewildering sweet evert through its weakness. "My lord! I could not die with out seeing you—without relieving my soul of a mission with which it has been long burtheneci. Come near—for I hare no time left for ceremony , and I must say what I have to say—and die !" She hesitated, and as Byron took the thin hand she held to him. she looked steadHy upon his noble countenance. •'Beautiful 1" she said; "beautiful as the dream of him which so long haunted me ! the intellect and spirit of a spirit light! Bar don me, that at a moment so important to yourself, the remembrance of feel ing has been betrayed into expression." She paused a moment, and the bright col or that had shot through her cheek and brow i faded again, and her countenancu resfj, ' its heavenly serenity. "I am near P ' ed to death," she resumed—" nea r •'tough point you almost to Heaven fi" 0 - enough to and it is on ray heart lflk'j ,i w h ere I am j my life—like the bid-'p one errand of you to prepare fo-.

Measure this thought—scan the worth of angelic bliss with the intellect which has ranj ;ed so glorious through the universe—do no t, on this one momentous subject of huma.n interest—on this alone be not short sighted!,, "Whatshall I do?" suddenly burst from Byron's lips in a tone of agony. But with an effort, as struggling with a, de.ep pang, he again drew up his form, and sumed the marble calmness of his countenaa ce. TWdying girl, meantime, seemt 'd to have lost herself in prayer. With ha. r wasted hands clasped on her bosom, and her eyes r-'ied upwards, the slight motion of I,'ier lips betrayed ,w ,i, 05e aroun j ber lba( , be was pleading at the thro.,^ fmercy The hys ; ician crept close to the bed situ,, KIU with hands on his breast and his head bowen, be seemed to be .watching for the momenr when the soul should lake its flight. She suddenly raised hersoit on the, pillow —her long brown tresses fell over her shoul ders, uml a brightness unnatural and almost fearful, kindled in her eyes. She seomqd endeavoring to speak, and gazed steadfastly at Byron. Slowly, then, aud tranquilly, she j sank back upon her pillow, and as her hands i fell apart, and lier eyelids- drooped, alio murmured, "Come to Heaven!" aud the still ness o) deaihwae in the room. The spirit hod fled. ■ OPPRESSION AND INJUSTICE.— SeveraI meet ings have been held in Philadelphia, having for thoir object the improvement ol the con dition of the Tailotesses of that city and : county. From an appeal published by them j it would seem thai they are most outrageous- i Iy oppressed and imposed upon by tailors & others, who compel them to work at less than living prices, paying but from 37$ to 75 cents f>r thick heavy men's satinet coats, 50 cents for making heavy blanket coats, 10 & 15 cents for summer pants, from 15 to 50 cents for all kinds of vests, 8 and 12$ cents for flannel shirts and drawers and from 15 to 50 cents for linen and muslin shirts. They state that "in many cases the trimmings fur nished aje insufficient to make up the gar ment, and have to be furnished be the tailor esses themselves" and ask can any woman find bread for her children at such prioes ? Their object is, with the help of the benevo lent, to form an association, open a shop where they can sell their work at fair prices, become their own employers and reap the profits of their own industry. God speed the undertaking '.—Easton Argu). PROGRESS IN MEXICO. —In the Monitor Re publicano of the 18th and 19th appears a re port of a commission, charged with of colonization and industry, which ill re markable for sentiments of tolleration which it proposes as one of the means of resuscitating that country. Tho report states that Mexico has not one-tenth of the popu ation which it is capable of sustaining, and 'hat thp policy of the cquntry should be to iuduce emigrants to conns into it. It attri butes the growth of theallnfted States to its wisdom in allowing emigrants of all religi ous denominations to come into the country and enjoy equal religious rights. The exclu sive religion ol Mexico keeps desirable emi gration out of the country. The - commiss ioners goes on to spoak of tho importance of railroads, and other faciltiea for intercommu nication, and of the condition of the cotton, woolen, glass, and paper manufactories which have beon.establ ished, and deserve, the protection of the government. From the sentiments contained in this report, it is ev ;. dentl 'hat there are minds in Mexico which are full awake to tho causes interfere with a nation's prosperity, and the influence of such persons upon tb'e minds of the people at large, must •avent'jaly be productive ol the oappiest effect. The intercourse which has sprung uij, between the Mexicans, and the Amevioans will hasten this result. Andrew Jackson. Friday last was the 83d anniversary of the biithday of General JACKSON, and our State Legislature marked and honored it by meet ing in joint Convention to hear his Farewell Address read. No more devoted patriot ever lived than ANDREW JACKSON, and, next to the immortal WASHINGTON, his name, his fame, and the glorious principles ha inculcf 'ed, should be kept in perpetual remem branoe- Glorlous New Hampshire!

They tell me in my youthful years, He led rae by his side, And strove to calm my childish fears, My erring steps .to guide.. .. | But years, with all their sewnos of change, !

When evening's rosy glory departs, j With voices full of mirth, Our household band with joyous hearts | Will yuthoT rotttul tho homth , They look upon his trembling form, Hie pallid face behold, And turu away with chastened tone— "My father s growing old." And when each tunefut voice we raise, In songs of "long ago," His voice which mingles in our lays Is tremulous and low. It ued to seem a clarion lone, „ I bo musical aud bold, B u htl vei j' tor , fainter has it grown— "My father's growing old." Ine same fond smile he used to wear, Still wreathes his pale lips now, ' But time, with lines of age and care, Has traced his pallid brow; But yet, amid the lapse of years, His heart has not grown cold, Though voice and footsteps plainly tell— "My. father's growing old." My father, thou didst strive to share My joys and calm my fears, And now, thy child with graleTu] r jare In thy declining years, Sh v f-T h '/V palh ' ap"eau'.',f u l|y 'quilted skirt, that she had made oj t of a dress.

Many housekeepers no sooner get a garment made lip and .natural ized to its proper use than it is fqrthwith rip ped up and made into something else, the good, constantly congratulating herself as if she had found the material of the new itisled of foit the making and trimingaof the old. Both men and women economise by buying cheap articles, and arjtjules they do not needi because they are cheap. Men economise by making large debts to pay small ones, and by measuring their, neighborts outlay, and bringing their own inside of that, instead of measuring their own means, and actual! necessities and conforming to thein. But a large, perhaps the largest number, despjsa economy as meanness, and pride themselves j on their prodigal expenditure. Very few of 1 this class escape poyptty and none contempt. ' If there is 110 body of more sense to des-1 1 pise them, they always despise ono another. 1 aud in trurth iliey are generally despicable.

This- is what stands in Daniel WebstoPs way to the first plpce in the rank of his compeers- His im providence makes largo sums of money in dispensable.

It was ; fcirnply the lock of ecoiiemy that made Ar ! nold a traitor; it was the absenco of it that gave the wives of the puddlcrs and boileis of our city a pretext for breaking the laws If their husbands and themselves had practieed this art they would have had money plenty to establish works of their own and to, ,havo secured them from all starvation horn an in terval in work. These men have bqon gop ing throe and four dollars a day, and now when ofT work for a few weeks, people talk übout them starving. If there is any danger of it, they deterve to be very hungry. ,A family that saves nothing, for futqtp Agen cies, from an inoome of three or four dollars or one dollar a dav or even fiftv cents. if that be all they have, has very good reason to ex pect hunger without food, at some period. Wo have known two girls who each worked for fifty cents a week, aud boardmg, who dressed well, provided themselves with beds and bedditur of superior 'quality and put mouey kt interest. These girls wero indc ' IWident with their $25 per aminm while we hear talk of folks stsrving on a thousand u year. We offer no apology for those who would withhold from the laborer the full a mount of his earning; bat until people learn the usaof money is very little use to them, except as a means of pnrchasing pampered appetites and ill health; and the. family that cannot live on three dollars a day will bo likely to starve on twenty. The man who has regularly spent that much ' and hat no provision for the future need not talk about any one trying to enslave or oppress him. Ho.ip liis own enslaver—his own oppressor.
