by a sudden idea, he stopped short :

If this man resides in Ixunlon, perhaps I .-hall

determined that he should be imprudent.
A little condoled by some hope, Toby went

resolved to solve the mystery.
He went lmldly into the yard and demanded
speech with the master ; who, although it was
nearlv noon, was still in bed another indica-
turn of a night ot fatigue. The Quaker insivtcd
upon being introduced immediately, oml soon
found himself in Weresford's bed chamber. He
had just waked, and rubbing his ryes, asked, a
little out of humor : Who arc you, sir, and
what do ViU want 1
The sound of his voice awakened Toby's re
collection, and completed his conviction. Qui
etly taking a ehair, he p-jsttd h.iiisell'utar thw

do not furnish the sum I have promised, it will

Werestord ran to n secretary, took out n box
with a triple lock, opened it, nnd placed in To
by's hands, his watch, his purse, and his tack of
money.

see that I was right in depending upon you.

brisk tone.
No: I reipiire something further of our

Mr. Weed gives nn account of a isit to the
Hospital tor infants abandoned by their parents,
nn institution that has existed for IHHI years.
"Ii is not, however, devoted exclusively to the
reception of foundlings. Parents who are un
able or unwilling to support their off-pring, are
allow ed to leave them here, accompanied by a
declaration of abandonment made before an offi
cer. Most ofthe infants, however, arc abando-'
tied clandestinely. There is n Ixhlge at the
giitevviy of the Hospital, through the wall of
which a box is exposed to the public street. The
I ei .-oils depositing infants in this box ring a
hi II, w hen a nurse, w ho is always waiting in
side, turns the box on a pivot inwards, receives
the helpless foundling, nud the guilty parent
ton s nwav undiscovered. The number of chil
dren thus unnaturally abandoned, within the
ln-t ten years, 1 '. From 10(i to l."XKI of
these children were yearly sent from other Hos
pitals, from mothers who were unublc to take
care of them. There was, ton, a diminished
number in each of the ten succeeding years.
In l-:i(l the number was "tli) , and in 15'.), it
was :ilv. Of this last number, iil or nearly
1 in died during the year. The number of
children belonging to the institution, and pla
ced out nt nurse, in 1-sl!) was l.",7E. Nurses
come daily from the country after children, for
taking care of w hom they receive from G to 8
fiancs a month."
Mr. Weed adds ;
"There is not generally more than one hun
dred infants in the Hospital. Of this number,
when we visited it, ten had been received with
in the last tw enty-four hours, and six of these
were deposited in the box during the previous
night. We passed through the different wards
of the Hospital with a nurse. Moro than halt
oft lit -se helpless innocents were ill ; and all
but such ns blopl, were weeping in voices so
feeble and plaintive that the most rugged nu
tme could not restrain its tribute of tears. I
never before saw, nor can I conceive of a scene
so keenly touching as this. There can be no
stronger appeal to our compassion than the for
lorn condition of these poor foundlings. They
truly arc the "shorn lambs" for whom "thxl
tempers the w inds." Here, loo, as in other
llo-p tals, we found the Sisters of Charily, true
to their benevolent duties, kindly anil patient
ly, by day and by night, receiving and protecting-
the most lu-lplr.-N nf all the heirs uf sin,
destitution anil misery."

Thf. Town of Lvn!. Professor Iwrahaw,
in his last new work, Tho Young Gcnilp,,,
thus characterizes thia Town as the "vast cord
wninery of the Union."
"The very plensant and thrivin? town of I.ynn
is the paradise of shoemakers! Its younr;
men, early transferred from the cradle to tho
Innt. cut teeth and lenther in the panic time ;
nnd its pretty mnidens learn to hind shoes with
the induction of their a, ft, nhs ! levers ex
rhanfT1 hearts over a kid slipper, nnd gwenr e
ternnl fidelity upon a Inpstono. If they would
fret married, they ask old Dr. Wnxend, tho par
pon. if he will ttilrh them torretlier, nnd they
wil p-iy him in hides and Fboemendinsr. Whip.
pinnr their children th"y rnll tnmi'ntti, nnd tho
rod they use is a cmc-hitlc. The little hoys
swear 'by hides anil leather ; m l play nf frames
which they call 'high and low quarter,' nnd
'heel and toe.' A child newly born is a lap
stone, nnd the ages of children is known by tho
number of shoes they wear. Roys are called
rights, and girls lifts nn old man is nn 'odd
slipper,' nnd a bachelor nn 'odd boot.' Tho
street doors to their d wellincs are 'insteps,' and
a man in on overcoat is 'foxed.' The fields a
bout the town are 'patches,' nnd a fellow half
sens over is 'half-soled.' They never see an
oak tree but they directly calculate the number
of pegs it will make, and when they behold
bees at work they reflect that the only end of
wax is a waxeud. They look on all cattle nnd
sheep as only leather growing, and belicva
hogs were only made to produce bristles. Its
lnpstones would pnvc I'roadway, nnd i's lasts,
if piled together, would make a monument high
er than that on Hunker's Hill."
Mom: or Com no Crtvixn Ciin.nncx. Thos.
Cooper, the veteran tragedian, snys, er rather
Cowell, in his Thirty Years among the Players,
says for him, that this was his mode of curing;
children of crying : "When my children were
young, and began to cry, I always dashed a
glass of water in their face, ami that so asto
nished them that they would leave off ; nnd if
they began again, I'd dash another, and keep
on increasing the dose till they were entirely
cured ."
A Soft Skat. An old tippler, near Boston,
the C.mrior says, returned home recently, onn
washing-day, with a jug of rum, and stagger
ing into his w ife's domain mistook a tub of w ell
u nrmrd water for a settee, and suddenly settled
himself into it, so that its surging sides leaped
merrily about Mm he being a fast prisoner.
In this predicament he called lustily for Nahby.
His "gmle wife" seeing his Jcrp interest in her
affairs, seized the jug, danced around the phi
losopher, pouring its contents over his head
disregarding his prayerful look, outstretched
arms, and beseeching oppeal of "Nabhy.savc it I
save it, Nabhy !" to which she replied, "Go it
Joe long life to your honor," &c.
