BY H. S. PARSON, ESQ. We Jo too much relax the social chain, That binds us to each other; alight the care There is for grief, in which we have so share "And she works exquisitely, too, so much better than that impudent Mrs. Blanchard, who if you will believe it, Ano, never put on that double frill, even after my express directions; and I, nothing doubting but that the creature had done as I told her, never perceived the omission until I put on the dress to wear to a ball." "But where did you here of this poor woman, Emma, who works so well and so cheap? She must be destitute, to do it for such a trifle." "Oh yes, she is wretchedly poor, with a family of children, and her husband dead or absent. Our girl, Mary, accidentally found her out, and told me she thought Mrs. M—, that is the woman's name, would be glad to sew for me; so 1 sent for her,and bargained her down, until she was willing to do it for almost any thing, rather than not at all. But all this is entrennus, for you know I could not withdraw my patron. age from my former seamstress, to bestow it on a new one, unless she was cheaper.— I thought she might sew for you, when she was not engaged for me. It is something of an object to save more than half what we give Mrs. Blanchard." "1 am delighted to think you have met with such a prize, lor I am convinced these fashionable milliners and mantuirmakers are monstrously expensive, and most of all the work, this woman can do just as well, I dare say." "She works beautifully, although Mary says one would not think, to see her wretch. ed condition, that she could have the heart to do any thing; that is what makes her willing to throw away her work so as Mrs. Blanchard would call it. Aro you going to the 'Social Circle' this atterneon, Ann?" "Certainly; Mr.Handon is to read us some extracts from that new novel; and, besides, the object is so good. 'Angels of mercy,' you know he called us. But do you know, Emma, why Jane Gleason has never joined? She must have been invited." "No; for I asked her myself, and her re• ply was, that she would inform me if she concluded to become a member of the 'Cir. cle,' and I have never heard a word from her on the subject." "She is very peculiar; but, as it is whis pered that she does good to the poor, I thought she would be among the first to aid an enterprise like this. Did you read the description of the fair at P--4 We shall have a splendid one soon; then Jane will re pent of her oddity. is it time to go? "Yes, a little past the hour appointed; and I must hear that afecting scene iu the, new novel, it it is read." Shall we follow our young friends to the scene of their charity? Attractive as it was, we fear that it is impoebible to do it jnetice. Bright faces might be seen group. ed here and there, end fair fingers employ ed in every variety of fanciful ornamental devices. Gentlemen too, who although not privileged "to ply the polished shaft," yet creditably sustained their parte as the in spirers, or the inspirees, Books, though sometimes listened to with tolerable atten tion. were soon thrown aside, as less inter esting than conversation. Dress, manners, and characters, were fully discussed; parties and balls projected; flirtations canvassed, and "all the endless round of nothings."— Emma Roberts and her cousin Ann, were among the most zealous; Emma bring one of the directresses of the "Social Circle." G. W.A.I3BEINOVON BOWEN, EDITOR & PROPRIETOR. di The liberty to know, to utter, and to argue, freely, is above all other liberties."—MlLTON "How handsome she is," whispered Henry Benton to his friend Harwin; "and so bene volent too. Did you hear how enthusiasti cally she spoke of the approaching fair?-- fheard her tell sister Catherine that it would do so much good. How unusual to hear young ladies think of such things. I must become better acquainted with her," and crossing the room, he began an animated conversation with Miss Roberts, who failed not to convince him still more, that she was truly and uncommonly disinterested. "I had no idea," said Henry to his sister, on their return home, "that your 'Circle' was so pleasant. 1 think I shall accompa ny you more frequently in future." "It is sufficiently pleasant," replied Cath erine, "but I sometimes doubt its utility.— The work which is accomplished by the young ladies, I have feared was taken from, and thus injuring the interests of poor per sons and the time, exertion, and money thus spent in ostentation and parade, might be employed in a more simple and private way by individuals." "You are too scrupulous, my dear Cath erine; surely united effort must accomplish more than individuals, and sociability, and friendly feeling are thus promoted, and, as Miss Roberts told you,others are benefitted." "I hope it may bo so, but do not think me . censorious if say that I sometimes think others might be benefitted still more, if these young ladies were each of them to visit those scenes of poverty and distress, and give' their counsel, sympathy, and assistance.— Now, it seems pleasant to them to meet to. gather, when they have no other engage ments, and talk in general terms of charity, etc., but how few, it is to be feared, know what are self denial and perseverance against obstacles, in order to do good." "I cannot judge them so harshly. It seems to me, that ladies like Miss Roberts, for instance, are more to be admired -for the sincere benevolence of heart which they display, than for all the charms of person, or even of mind." "1 know nothing of Miss Roberts which would contradict that appearance of kind ness,so delightful, so praiseworthy, wherev• er and whenever seen, of which you speak. With you, I have often admired the inter est she manifests in every thing relating to our circle, and I only hope, my dear broth er, :hat public and private charity may ac• company each other. But 1 have been sur prised not to see Miss Gleason at any of our meetings, she always seems social and friendly, and I have expected to meet her there." Months passed by,bringing the wished for fair near at hand, ti.id report said that Hen ry Benton was becoming daily more and more pleased with the pretty, interesting, and benevolent Miss Roberts. No one could approve of those on dits, or wish that they might prove true, more ardently than the lady herself; for Mr. Benton was, as -the fathers would have styled him, a safe parti, the mothers a desirable, and the daughters a perfect one. With wealth, rank, and talents, joined to accomplished manners and firm integrity, his society was universally courted. As yet, however, .he had never paid his devoirs at any fair shrine; but, like most of those whom fashion or interest has not moulded to do her bidding, he had a beau ideal in his own mind, of the being whom he should wish to call his, and that had never yet been realized. Miss Rob erts, attractive as she was in person, would probably have excited in him no peculiar interest, had not her apparent benevolence of heart won his attention. One who could talk thus eloquently of relieving suffering, must, he thought, be amiable to no common degree. She cannot be one of those frivol• ous, heartless beings' absorbed in selfish gratification, thinking not of the responsi bility devolving upon them and forgetting The sacred ties that bind us each to iactit. It was a cold and dreary night when Henry Benton and his sister sat by their cheerful fire, conversing upon the merits of a book, from which he had just been read. ing. Every thing around looked bright and pleasant, and it might well seem almost impossible for the inmates of that dwelling, to think that any one could be less happy than themselves. It seems to be the nat ural effect of extremes of joy or sorrow, to prevent us from realizing the misery of others. It is difficult for the heart bound. ing with joy, to whom all things round bear la couleur de rose, to imagine the "smaller miseries or great sufferings" of others, and one who is himself plunged into the depths of unhappiness, is to apt to be absorbed by the consideration of his own calamities. Our friends were not selfish, but certain it is, that the misfortunes which "flesh is heir to," were not present to their minds, when Catherine was informed that a poor woman lived near her,who was,or had been very sick. "You were going out for a short time, Henry," said she to her brother, "and I will go with you as far as this woman's house, where you can call for me as you return." "Do not venture out such an evening as this, Catherine. You can send some one to impure into the circumstances and give her aid." "But I shall feel better satisfied to see how she does myself—nay, dO not object, my dear brother," added she, striding; "do you think the cold can penetrate though all this fur? I know the exercise will benefit me. Come, let us go. This is the house," said she, as they arrived at the dwelling where she had been told'the object of her visit resided. "Now you can come for me as you return," and she gently opened the [door of a room where a light faintly Om- rnered. But she was not, as she afterwards declared, prepared for the scene that met her view. In a miserable hut, insufricient to proledt its inmates from the inclemency of the weather, was extended the sick wo man ono low bed, supported by Miss Glea son, who was administering a cordial.— The apnrtment, ton, though indicating pov. erty, bore an air of neatness, and little corn forts were strewed here and there, as agorae kind hand had lent its aid. "And you are here before me, .Tone?" said Catherine, advancing towards her. "Yes, I have been here some time. Mrs. M. has been very sick, but she seems more comfortable now." I had never heard of her until to-day," answered Catherine, "or I should have visited her before. I have brought her home trifles, which I hope may benefit her till we can do something more." The sick woman groaned-;-"Oh! if I had what is justly my due, I need not trouble others so much. Lady," said she, striving opeak distinctly, "long, long nights have "never closed my eyes to sleep, striving to earn something for myself and my poor chil dren. She told me unless I did the work cheap, I could not have it, and 1 did it al lost for nothing, rather than not do it at ill; but I have never been paid even that." ' "Who employed you, Mrs. M- 7 -4" asked Catherine. "Miss Roberts sent for me, and gave me her sewing to do, and last night she sent me• word, that unless I completed some work which I have had out for a week, she must withdraw it all from me." "Do not agitate yourself about it, Mrs. M—,"said Miss Gleason, gently; "your wants shall be supplied, until you are able to exert yourself without injury." "But; my dear young lady, I cannot but think of it. I should not have minded it for myself, for I am sure, unless 1 could hope to show my gratitude for your kind ness, and watch over my children, I have nothing to live for; but to think of thorn"— Mr. Benton at this instant 'stopped at the door, but not being perceived, he did not interrupt her by accosting his sister. "1 finite seen them cry for bread, and I told Miss Roberts that,destitute as I was, 1 would sew for any thing that could procure them bread. Long nights 1 never have elept,but labored without a moment's rest to procure them something. And when I asked her for the money, she said ahe never paid those little sums, till they amounted to something; and added, she could not stop either, for she was gninito some society, or circle, as she called it, and could not listen. I came home, but 1 could support it no longer; I could not even pi out to beg food, and,oh my children, I must have perished had not this angel"—ea id she, turning to Miss Glea son, with tears in her eyes, and then sink • mg back, exhausted with the effort of speak ing. "She shall not be alone for the future, in her errands of mercy," said Catherine, hardly able to speak. "Rejoice,"added she, turning, as she perceived her brother, "that I came here, Henry, for I have learnt u lesson not soon to be forgotten." The character and life of Jane Gleason was indeed worthy of being remembered and imitated. With a gffled and cultivated mind, she had a feeling heart and firm principles. Although every way fitted, if she had been so inclined, to become "the glass of fashion and the mould of form," she chose rather to improve the talents committed to her charge,to higher and noble purposes. In her charity she was constant and kind, and scrupulously followed His example who "went about doing good," and although her name might never have been seen in the public prints as a graceful pre. eider over a fair, it was graven in the hearts of many a widow and orphan whom she gladdened by her kindness. To those who feel interested in the fate of Mrs.M ---,we will add, that she did recover, and through the efforts of her friends, was enabled to maintain herself and her family comfortably of course with more generous employers than Miss Roberts, who still continued her enthusiasm for public charity, although we will confess, it has never since excited so much admiration in Henry Benton. The scene at the cottage often recurs to his memory. Since the evening of which we spoke, he has seen June Gleason the centre of attraction in the circle of her friends, exhibiting all thegraces of mind and person, but never has she looked more lovely in his eyes, and never has he found her less wor thy to be the companion of joy and sorrow, the sharer and heightner of tine, the reliev er of the other, than when in that poor dwel ling, dispensing alleviation to the afflicted, and affording such a striking contrast to "fashionable benevolence." Pzintous OCCUPATIONS. —ln Catherine Sinchir's Shetland and the Shetlanders,"wi3 find the following description of a perilous mode adopted among the islanders, of ob. taining a livelihood. "While sitting at dinner in the cabin, we heard many interesting anecdotes of the dangers encountered by 'fowlers in scaling the rocks of Shetland and Feroe, where fatal accidents are so frequent, that the people sometimes say to each other, ..'your grandfather fell, and you must follow too.' Others boast over their companions snying, Your father died in his bed, but mine went elflike a manl' "The Governor mentioned, that lately at Faroe, a fowler descended safely by thy• usual conveyance of a rope, but when about to be drawn up again, owing to some awk ward entanglement, ho arrived at the sur- face with his feet upward. His alarried friends thought his head had been cut off'. and felt so relieved to discover their rnis take, that the whole party burst into a aim• ultaneous peal of laughter, while the ',adven turer was very glad he had any face to put on the matter at all, nod laughed heartily also. The upper part of these cliff's genet.• ally overhangs the base; therefore tlie rockmen, when desirous to obtain a tooting, are obliged towing themselves many yards out in the air, that the reaction may shoot them back in contact with the precipice, when they instantly cling to any little pro jection that offers, and, after landing on it, anchor the end of their rope to n stone, and proceed with a small hand, net, stretched on a hoop, to spoon the eggs out oftheir nest, depositing them 'carefully in esack which they carry behind, and when the unlucky bird saes her loss' inevitable, by a curious instinct she often pushes outthe egg to save herself: • An enterprising fowler standing on the projection, unco, with a sheer precipice both above and below him of several hundred feet observed the end of his rope became suddenly disengaged from its Moorings, and swing like a pendulum far into the distant space.

SONFRING FOR TIIR GlRLS.—Somebody has taken the trouble to collect statistics from the U. Slates, England, !rebind and Scotland, on which is based a calculation of the chances of marriage a woman . has, at different periods of her life, taking ono hundred as the whole number of chances she gets of marrying. The one hundred chances are distributed as follows: Between the ages of fifteen and twenty, 14i twenty and twenty-five and thirty, '18; thirty and thirty-five, 6i; thirty-five and forty, Si; forty and forty-five, 24; forty-five and fifty, 1i; fifty and fifty• five, *; fif•ty five and sixty, f; over sixtyfive, one-tenth of a chance. • Young women should atteatively study this table and regulate their conduct towards their suitors by ii. Before twenty *they can be as captious as they please, for their best chance has not come yet. Before twenty five they can pick and choose, but after thirty their chances diminish in a frightful ratio, and the sooner hey secure a husband the better.—Ledger.

T. ‘Vorsley, of the Isle of Wight, Eng., who was an NI. terprising traveller atiout the middle of the last century, in one of his excursions, in ex ploring the Interior of Africa, was miracu• lonely saved from the clutches of a lion through the instrumentality of a faithful dog that alwiiys accompanied him in his expeditions. As the formidable beast was in the act of springing at him, the dog seized the lion, and diverted the animal's attention from his intended victim, which afforded Mr. Worsley the opportunity of ascending a tree close by, thereby alluding the danger to which he was exposed. The dog fell a victim to his fidelity. Mr. W. returned to England, and for many years 'celebrated the anniversary of his escape from the lion, as a -holiday, going about almsgiving and doing other acts of charity. By his last will he left the annual sum of £lO, (nearly $5O) forever, to bo paid to the vicar of tho parish for the time being, to preach a sermon in the church of the village, on 6th May (the unniversary of his escape,) upon tho subject that gave rise to the bequest—a custom which has pre vailed up to the present time.
