The oId Snag.-A couple of blades once met
 Vermonter at tavern. They had heard much of
 Yankee ingenuity and cunning, and they soon de- ternined to see if they could not come round this son of the Green Mountains Thinking he would be careful of his coppers, they proposed to him in the course of the evenings chat that each ot them then should propose and do something which the O. ther two should initiate or on refusal of either so to do, he should pay all the damages the others might sustain and the scot at the bar. The Vermonter was a little wary at first-hut at length consented One of the Workers commenced the game. He pulled off his coat, walked up to the fire and threw it on. His companion did the same, The Vernon ter, as they bad agreed must do the same with hls coat or pay for the other two coats, and the scot
 Without hestatin5, off went the garment on to the fire The other New Yorker next made trlal. He off boots and hat and consigned them to the de- vourng element His companlon initiated him, & to thflr astonshment, the Yankee was not back ward. Now came the Vermonter's time to lead.- Landlord says he, is there doctor near. Yes, sir, Send for him. The doctor soon came in. Doc tor, said the Vermonter, get your nstluments,-l want you to pull out every tooth in my head, and these gentlemen will probably want the same done win theirs, at the same time he began to make req dy for the operation. The doctor and the other two were conounded. Cone doctor don't wait, and O. pening his mouth, ha discovered to the company that he had in his hcMl but one old snag which would hardly keep in his head. It was presently out. The Workers wisely declined following suit paid the Vermonter for his coat hat and boots and went off to bed grinding their molars.

PICTURE OF FACTORIES -NO. 9.

The mere supply of the wants of nature, with re- spect to food a5sorbs but a very small amount of the wages earned by the ma orty of the manufactu- ring laborers-conhned as the supply is to the coarsest and most simple viands. Men may be found who have not yielded to the ind1ere nee and destructive habits of the mass, who are living in comfort and Jecency upon the average amount of wages earned by t:e whole population-a sufficient proof if proof were wanting, that the mischief lies full as much with the laborers themselves, in the system of labor bad as that is acknowledged to be.
 The extinction of decent pride in ther household estab lishments, which at present characerzes the mass of the manufacturing population, presents them ill a very unfavorable point of view. There are none of the minor comforts of existence-noth- ing but hat of coarseness and filth, alike repulsve to sight and smell, and injurious to health-having few of the requisites of home, except as place of mere shelter. It is stripped of every thing which might render it pleasant or delightul; and has, in consequence, no Ilol upon the affections. The la borer leaves it without regret-Ee anticipates no joy on his return-he finds there nothing but want --lnd all these are in great measure the results, not of the pressure of actual want but of his own bad and lmprovidcny habits.
 The pure and quiet joys of home, may indeed never have been known either to himself or his fam lily; but surely there IS within the humar heart even within their hearts, hardened and debased as they are--some yearnlng after domestic bss-some faint giinmer of better and purer order of things some longing to shake off condition of life, that, like an incubus presses upon and destroys all the best energies of their nature.
 The operative having no home which can cheer the brief period aowel him from labor-destltute of moral principle, unguided and uninfuenced by good exampe-fies for relief to the gin-vault or the beer-house dissipating in these hauns of crime and dePrav''Y, resources which, if properly applied, would rnish his house decently, supply his table with " lesome and nutritious food, and provide him W ample means to make him respectable membn if society.
 His | or is continued so uninteIruptedly, that whether :issaorning, or noon, or night, he leaves the mill workshop, and devours his watery meal with feelings of such mental depression and bodily exhaustion that he eagerly swallows stimulus in

worse state than before, and precptates the unhap. py being who thus blndly induges depraved taste, only the more rapidly upon his inevitable ruin. Truly did Mr. Hunter remark, that of all the pro- ducts of civilization, the North Amercan savage was anxious alone for brandy* and gun powder; and with equal truth it may be sad that the nearer people approach to the Restitution of savage life, the more eagerly do they seek to participate in the enjoyments of intoxicaon. Distilled spirits afford cheap and efectual oblivion of cares and wants, and however much the indulgence may increase the sum of human sufferings it is not surprising that they who have other pleasure within their reach, should madly snatch at this solitary comfort. Inde- pendenty of these open and recognized means which are within the reach of the laborer and his family, there others of most extensive operation for demoralizng him. through the agency of drunk enness and its attendant vices The lowest class ot the population in the manufacturing towns is, to very considerable extent made up of Irsh who in- habit the cellars and those positions of the towns which, to the casual observer, would appear totally unlnhabtable.
 The introduction of this population into Manches- ter, and the surrounding manufacturing towns and districts, has unquestonaby aided very materially
 the destruction of domestic virtues and orderly hab- its in the operatives. The disregard to home com forts which renders the Irish cabin blot upon the history of its count is exhibited still more srik- ingly when seen in the midst of large town; and it has, unfortunately, found read, mtators in class of the community prepared for its adoption, in some degree, by poverty, ignorance, want of morality, and growing lndisposition for home, generated by
 system of labor which, by separating families, and by exhausting their physical energies by incessant application rendered them ready to fly for tempora- ry relief to the sin-shop, the beer house, or the whskey dealer
 *Nether has this passion lcssened since the day of the acute Hunter At the treaty of Chicago, in 1e2l the commissioners ordered that spirits should be issued to the Indians A deputaton of the chiefs was sent to remonstrate against this precautionary ure and at its head Topnibe, chief of the Pota- watomc trbe man upwards ofS0 years of age Ev- cry argument used to convince them that the measure as indispensable; that they were exposed to daily murders ana that while in state of ntoxica- tion they unable to attend to the business for which they convened All this was useless, and the discussion only terminated by the pcrempory re- tusa of the commissioners to accedc to their request Father,' said the hoary headed chief, when he was urged to remain sober and make good bargain for his people; Father, we care not for money nor the lands, nor the goods. We want the whiskey. Give the whistey."

THE HAPPY FAMILY.

Fondly familiar is the look she gives As he returns who forth so lately went- For they togethcr pass their happy lives; And many tranquil evening have they spent, Since, blushing, noranty innocent, She vowed with downcast eyes and changetul hue To love him only. Love fulfilled hath lent Its deep lepose and when he meets her view, Her soft look only says,-"l trust-and am true. Scattered like flowers, the rosy children play Or round her chair busy crowd they press; But at the FATHERS coming, staIt away, With playful struggle for his loved caress, And jealous of the one he first may bless. To each welcoming word is fondy said; He bends and kisses some lifts up the less; Admres the little cheek, so round aud red, Or smooths with tender hand the cured and shining
 head
 Oh let us pause, and gaze upon them now, Is there not one--beloved and lovely boy! With Mirth's bright seal upon his open brow, And sweet fond eyes ,brm full of love and joy? He. who no measure of delight can cloy, The daring and the darling of the set; He, who thouvh pleased with every passing toy, Thoughtless and buoyant to excess, could yet Never gentle word or kindly deed forget? And one more fragile than the rest, for whom is for the ,scak bird in q cro,oded nest Are needed all the fostering care ct home And the soft comfort of the breeding breast: One who hath oft the couch of sickness prest On whom the Mother looks, as it goes by, With tenderness intensc and fear supprest, While the soft patience of her anxious eye Blends with " Gods will be done,-God grant thou
