seated III her beautiful boudOir, reading Lady Bull
wers novel of "Cheveley;" at a table her, sat
very pretty and modest young maiden, seamstress
by profession, plying the busy needle for livel-
hood. The lady sighed over the depravity of man
kind, as depicted by Lady Bulwer; the handsome
young seamstress joined in concert with her en-
plsyer. and both were becoming exceedingly senti-
mental, and full Of coincidence, when rap, tap,
tap' came at the door, and the servant ushered in
another modest and pretty looking young girl, who
dropped humble courtesy, and said, 81 understand
you want chanbermaid, ma am
Lady do want chambermad-a tidy, attentive
girl.
Girl-rm tidy and attentive, maam.
Lsdy-Who did you live with last!
Girl lived with gentleman.
Lady-Oh! with gentleman!
Girl-Yes, ma am--with Mr. W, the cotton
broker.
Lady-Oh! ah! he's very spectacle man very !!
very pious very virtuons! he's pillar of DIR. Skin
ner's church. You must have liked to live with
him
Girl-Yes, ma'am.
Lady-Did he give you little-a any character?
Girl-No ma annie gave me no character.
Lady-Bless me-he didn't take away your cha
Girl--(with great simplicity)-No, ma am il you
please, had no character.
Lady-Dear me that's very surprising; young
and modest girl like you to have lost your character
Girl-If you please ma'am, l never had any cha.
| racter. Mr. VS. was the first place | ever
lived at.
Lady-Did he give you piece of paper when you
left.
Grl-Yes, ma'am, he gave a five dollar bill
and some other money.
Lady-No, but a recommendation.
Girl-Yes, ma'am; here II is.
Lady-( Reading)- Ah! this will do-Mr. W
says you are quick, and active, and modest, and
obliging All very necessary in chambermad
You come ON Monday next.
Girl-Thank You ma am Good morning, na'am
[Erit Girl.
Seamstress, (lsoking up from her work, piously,
and heaving sigh)-Poor dear Mr.. w.; what
a most shamefuliy prosecuted man he is ma'am.
Lady, with surprise)-Why do you know Mr..
W, tool really it is surprising what number
Of modest pious, and respectable pretty young girls
! are acquainted with that worthy man.
Seamstress-Oh, yes, maam, know him and
know his goodness too; he's such dear, kind
amiable, good creature. 1 do love him for his
purity Of prnci pies and steadfastness Of faith.
Lady-You love MIR. W, child?
Seamstress-With sisterly affe elton, ma am mo-
thing more.
Lady-Oh! How has he been persecuted7
Seamstress-Why, you know am, after he got
pretty well TO do in the world, he thought he would
him fine house in Chambers street; and he furnish
ed il with everything nice; and there such
air Of sanstity and sweetness within il; and he had
prayer meetings and family meetings, and the duties
by him. When, all at once, cloud Of darkness fell
on this good mans path Dagon, am, Dagon the
god of darkness, set to work TO destroy him, and in
six months, Dagon built up Unitarian chapel next
door to his house.
Lady-Dsar me, how dreadfHl.
Seamstress 1T was most dreadful, ma am! Poor
dear Nr. W; he bore IL with Christian pa
tience-sold his house, and actually went TO the
trouble Of moving all the way up to Mercer street;
to fulfil the Scripture, which says, "Come We out
from among them and be ye separate; touch not the
unclean thing"
Lady-True.
eamstress-And Mr.. Wa not the man TO
tsuch the uncIean thing; so he moved away from the
Unitarian chapel.
Lady-weii, I hope he had peace in Mercer
street.
seamstress.-wsuldy you believe it, ma'am; there
Dagon followed him.
Lady-No,
Seanstress-Yes. even as the Lord gave Job into
the hands Of Satan Of old, was dear Mr.. W
delivered into the hands Of Dagon for season. Into
Mercer street did Dagon follow him, and close by
his house did Dagon build up another Unitarian cha
pel,-another monument to Bsal.
Lady-wouderful coincidence Where did Mr.
W go nexti
Seamstress-He then moved far up town. near to
waverly Place-and attended DIR. SINNERS church,
and became a holy pillar Of H. even as Mr.. BEN
jsmin r. Butler is also pillar Of the same.
Lady-Mr Butler is rather a short pillar, by
the bye.
Seamstress-Yes, ma'am, he is short in stature,
but tall in the strength Of the truth and the power TO
oppose Dagon
Iady-And did Mr.. W escape the Evil
One at last.
Seamstress--Oh! dear, no ma'am. He's tso good
for Dagon to give up prosecuting him. Why Dagon
made a last effort and built mp another Unitarian
Church close by--and called IL in derision. the
Church of the Messiah, and the latter end Of Dsgon
seems greater than his first beginning OH it's sad
prosecuting world for Christians to- live in espe-
c,ally such pious men as dear Mr.. W
To this conclusion they both at last and there
our Ariel who owe rheard the convers alton, left them
We have since ascertaned by clairvoyance that Mr.
W, is looking out for place Hcgste, to
build mansion upon, presuming that in that neigh
borhood at least he will be out Of the reach Of Dagon
and Unitarianism for the next 100 years.
PoLtrrcs vs.. WAeERs.-A good deal Of interest
has been excited respecting the trial 81 cause which
is to decide the right TO large political wager
The real parties are Joe Hoxic, the Clerk Of the
County and Merritt, the lawyer, the latter having
betted the former $1,000 the result of the last Gu
bernatorial election. The money was deposited in
the hands of another lawyer, and notice then riyen
by Merritt that IL was not to be paid over The trial
was to have come on the first day of the term. and
both parties said they ready bat some how the
case IL always placed at the bottom of the calendar
and reached before the Court rises Is IL not
possible that the calendar is made out in Hoxic's
office that the NAV never come on. and thus
this piece Of political profit sacy remain unexposcd1
