get no farther; SO | lent him helping

"You will take them to your home Ala
bama, said I, "and adopt them as your
ownr' so .,~
"That's it!'' he exclaimed, jumping up
and sitting down again with one motion
"Y ou've hit it, exactly! s'posin we go
round, hey?" -
VI course was anxious to see the kind
attentions of my southern friend consuma-
ted, and Immediately consented. In a
few moments we reached the house. as
cended the crazy steps, and knocked at
"sissy's" door. A light step sprang for
ward, and in moment Hardy had Sissy
in his stelwart arms. She kissed him with
all the sweet confidence of purity and
Ichlldllke innocence, and tears of happi-
ness streamed down his cheeks as he re-
turned the embrace. Then came Eddie's
turn Poor boy, how full of glee he was!
And SO was sissy, and Hardy, and land
all of us. A great change for the better
had taken place in both the children since
the preceding day. Both were neatly
and handsomely dressed, and looked very
lll-sulted to that poverty stricken abode.
In explanation, Sissy told US that she had
used some of the money Hardy had given
her to gether own and her brothers cloth
ing out of pawn, where it had been ever
since it was pledged for bread when the
children were thrown helpless upon the
world. And sissy looked so innocent, and
SO beautiful, and SO happy, that, for the
life of me, [ couldn't help feeling little
envious of their benefactor. I tried not
to, but couldn't help it. sa
"Now then, Sissy" said Hardy, afterhe
had sufficiently embraced and admired
her. I'm going home to-morrow-that
is if you and Eddie will go way down to
Alabama with me and be my children
I've got enough for all of US, and-hey?"
Sissy burst into tears. With a great
effort he restrained his own, and takino
both children by the hand, motioned me
to lead the way-and I did. Not word
was spoken until we reached the landing
place at the foot of the stairs. Here Mr..
Hardy coolly poked his head into the door
of another miserable apartment, and ad-
dressing the only inmate-the creature
who had once been man-said familiar

That night Eddie and siesy slopt ia a
comfortable room at the hotel. The next
lay Hardy and the two children started
'or Alabama. I kissed Sissy and her
orother--- --shook the honest Alabamian
heartily by the hand, and the last words
1e addressed to me, as parted from him
1t the boat, were-"God bless you!"

Dress i'm California.

A San Francirco editor tells this story
about the prevailing taste for fnery among
the Californian ladies'. There is perhaps
no place in the world where ladies dress Sc
richly as in California, and the every day
costume Of a lady in San Francisco is quite
equal to special "getup'' promenade
in that wonderful thoroughfare, the
Broadway of the Gothamites The good
old fashioned ten cent calicoes that our
grandmothers used to wear, which were
made up on economical principles and not
torun to waist, are here scarcely ever seen;
"but though lost to sight, arc to memory
dear,' In those good old days as dress
three yards in circumference was consider
Led sufficiently ample--but now it takes
more material to dress lady than to en-
velope respectable mummy. We have
not passed anything in our streets, time
out of mind, but silk and satin; how rich
and pleasant it sounds as it rustles past--so
luxurious and refned! Yesterday, as we
were plodding in sober reflection toward
our sanctunl, a lady came out of a store
and moved gracefully in front of us; her
figure was elegant; rich China silk
swept the pavement and the cigar stumps
a splendid Canton Grape shawl enveloped
her shoulders, hand incased in a white
kid hung gracefully over one arm,
French embroidered handkerchief emitted
an odor of 'Jockey Club" Our curios-
ity to see the face of the fair proprietress
of these dry goods was intense; we walk
ed faster, got before her, dropped our
walking stick, slooped to pick it up, and
as we gained our upright position the face
met our - Shade of departed romance!

The Union and the Sandwich Islands.

The Union and the Sandwich Islands.
The Washington Union, of tuesday,
concludes its editorial article thus:
Our mission is to extend the area of
republican liberty by giving to the world
practical and demonstrative proof of its
excellence. When applications are made
for annexation it becomes us to look to our
own interest in deciding the question:
Although our Government has had moth.
ing to do in bringing about the state of
things which seems likely soon to result
in an application from the sandwich Is
lands for annexation, we are assured by
the doctrins of President Pierce's Inaug-
ural, as well as by the American senti-
ment of the Administration, that the ap-
plication willreceiveprompt consideration.
I We cannot for moment suppose that
the measure will be seriously embarrassed
by the outrageous pretentions setup in the
protest of the French and British consuls. Z
The answer of the American commits
sioner, Mr.. Severance, is full and con- !.
elusive reply to those pretensions, and we
have no reason to doubt that his sentiments =
will be cordially approved by the Admins
istration.

sect was their denial of the propriety and
scripturality of the form of marriage =
'31tis not good for man to be alone"-
This they believed, and also that one wife
only should 'scleave to her husband.',-
But then this should be matter of agree
ment merely, and that the couple should
come together and live as man and wife
dispensing with all the forms of. the mar
covenant. The old governor used fire.

matter over with him, and .endeavored to
convince him of the improperly of living
with Sarah as he did. But neither John
or Sarah would give up the argument
1t was a matterof conscience with them;
they were very 1happy'together as they
were; Of what use Ihen could a mere

escape scandal, were they not bound 'sto

the rules of the religion they professed?

shlpWreck on an Island of Pearl Shells
We copy the following account of ship
wreck and discovery of an island of pearls
from a California paper Of recent date:
Capt. Snow left San Francisco Sept.
9Th, 1852, in the brig Catham, owned by
himself, which was chartered by frm
in that city, one Of whoon, Mr.. Lamont,
accompanied him as supercargo, and
DR. Burke as passengers to some island
south Of Tahiti, at which they 'intendedto
touch The. voyage was afterwards
changed. The Catha3mn was was chartered for
a trading voyage, ana accordingly touch
cd at three groups. Marquesas, Society
and Harvey S Islands She left the latter
or San Francisco on Dec. 28th, 1852, and
went ashore Jan, 9Th, on an island not laid
down on any chart, inhabited by savages;
who showed no other signs Of having seen
civilized men before, except the fact that
they had great terror for firearms. '-5'3
The Captain had saved his insfrdments,
and DR., Burke alone had saved pistols
and powder, The Captain Immediately
constructed a boat from the pieces Of the
wreck, which they finished in about six
weeks, and himself, brother, Dr.. Burke.
and one other put to sea in her, but as
she leaked badly they put back, and in
about six weeks went to sea again, and
steered for Humphreys Island, where
they arrived. Mr.. Lamont, thinking the
boat unsafe, declined going in her. At
Humphreys Island they found party of
pearl fisheries, established by Capt. Hort,
owner of the British brig Caroline Hort,
and learned that he was expected to ar
rive there soon. They accordingly wait
ed the arrival of the vessel; in hopes of
getting passage in her to some frequented
port. .Hak
The island On which they were wreck
ed abounds in pearl shells. Consequent
ly, when Capt. Hort arrived and learned
this fact, he was unwilling to take any Of
them with him Until he should have taken
a party to the island and set them at work
diving for: himself; butfnding that he could
not obtain the requisite information for
that purpose, he finally consented to take
Dr. Burke and Capt. Snow, on condition
that they should notreveal the locality of
the island to any one else, which they
promised Capt. Snow says he was very
kindly treated by Capt. Hort after getting
on board, though he was several times re-
fused passage before consent was given,
owing to the interest Capt. Hort had in
keeping the island to himself until he
should haveestablished fishery there.

The Broom Ordeal.

The Yankee Blade remarks:-House-
keeping is not SO full of sunshine and
rose-colored bliss as many imagine 1t is
hardly possible to get along without kitch-
en- girls and chamber maids, and what
with their wastes, wages, wittels and sass
say Aunt Sally-they are plaguey
drawbacks on domestic peaceand comfort.
Old Peppergrass was the customer for
discrimination between the useful and the
careless. Peppergrass sent word to the
! intelligence Office that he wanted good
girl for general housework. About the
time he expected an applicant, he laid a
broom down in the yard near the gate.
Presently a girl comes to the gate, opens
it, and strolls up to the house; the old
man was ON the watch, and the first sa-
Lutte the girl got was, ~ ~
ri don't want you2''
The girl sloped, and suddenly another
bullet-headed Nancy appears, seeing the
Fold broom in the way, she gives it kick,
and waddles up to the house - -.
"You won't suit me, that's certain,
Miss Mopsy!' bawls Peppergrass.
She disappeared in hurry, and finally
a third appears, opened the gate, and
coming into the yard, she closes the gate
and walks up-the broom is still in the
path; she picks it up and carries it along
to the house, where she deposits it along
side the woodshed. Before the girl could
explain her business there, Peppergrass.
bawls out.
ayes, yes, come in, you'll do me!''
And she did, for that girl lived with
Peppergrass seven years, only quit living
with him to go to housekeeping on her
own hook, and a cspital wife she made
Peppergrass was right: .'
