NO. 81:

ana every line Of stitching, Mrs. tt
expressed appreciation of The work; and
handed the poor woman acoupe of fine
shirts 10 make for Mr.. T., and a
calico dress for herself. She did no, offer
II pay her for The work she had done; af-
ter lingering few moments, Mrs. -
ventured to hint that she would like 10 have
a part Of what she had earned.
%, dear! neverpay seamstresses until
their bills amount 10 five dollars. 1t is so
Troublesome to keep account of small sums.
When you have made five dollars will
pay you
Mrs. - retired, with heart that SEEM
ed like lead in her bosom. When shall
earn five dollars?- for whole month. <
al Ibis rate, were the words that formed
themselves in her thoughts.
From this state ofslo0miness, she was
reused Ny knock at The door, and plea
SAINT looking lady. somewhat gaiIy dressed
came in with bundle in her hand,
She introduced herself by saying that
she had Just seen some pretty shirts at Mrs
Us, and that she was so well pleased with Z:
the work. that she had inquired for iherss
maker: And now having found you,' said
she, 81 want you TO make aud fiji this cali
CO dress'for me, you do such work.
4 shall be glad 10 do it for you,' said
Mrs. -, encouraged by the kind and
foelins manner of the lady.
And what will you charge?'

then SAID. Mrs. /. - gives me a
quarter Of a dollar
There was a bright spot, for moment,
on the cheek of The lady.
Then | will give you lhree,' said she,
with warmth.
Mrs. burst into sears, and she
could mol help it.
Are you in need = inquired the strange
lady hesi,atosly, but with an air Of feeling
that could not be mistaken.
For moment the widow paused; but
The sight of her children conquered The ris-
ing emotion OF her pride.
Il have nothing buta little corn meal in
the house, and have no money!
A lear slisteued 10 the strangers eye;
her breast heaved with strong emotion :
then, again, all was still.

Certainly, ma'an, to- morrow evening,
if you wantil.'
The dollar was paid down. and the
angel Of mercy departed. More than one
heart was made glad that morning.
The Roikschild Arrangement.-We'
have already noticed the rumor that an ar
ransement, by which specie is,to be trans-
ferred 10 Mexico, has been made between
The Rolhschildse and Government. A
correspondent Of the National InteIligencer
thus explains The advantages of such an
arrangement, 10 case the war with Mex
leo continued:
A plan 10 the above effect would seem,
a, The first glance, TO be perfectly feasible.
In fact, a most singular combination Of ,
circumstances exists with the three coun-
tries which may not occur again in CEN
tury, and, we hope, never will take place.
Treasury bills, as contemplated in he
above paragraph, would. in effect, dis
charge three debts, or make three transfers
of coiu without displacing any.
Thus Merico has coin destined for Eu-
rope, which must 90 forward Great Brit
ain is indebted TO The United States for
grain, &C., which al existing rates. must
be paid for in coin while the United
States require a few millions Of coiu 10
distribute in Mexico. 1t would SEEM

supplied by one operalion-as least to The :
amount required by our Government for.
distribution in Mexico. The export Of
coin through The custom.house of Mexico
is estimated at eighteen millions annually
(see Waddy Thompson's book,) while,
three TO FIVE millions more are smusgled
out, to avoid the export duty OF SIR PER cent
demanded. by The Mexican Government,
We may assume The annual export at
tweniy-four millions, or two millions per
month.
Now,if we wani four millions ofspecie'
in Mexico, there are European creditors
in tha, country holding it, who mus, be
willing TO take Treasury bills Of the United
States, thereby saving eight or nine per
cent. TO the English, and rwo OF three per-
cent, TO ourselves
