THE FACTORY GIRL.
by MRS. MARY a. KlDDEG.

She boasts no rich and costly robes,
She wears no Jewels in her hair;
And yet he: pale and comely face
Seems wanting in no modest grace
To make her passing fair.
With backward glance Of anxious love
She quits the humble cottage door,
Aud through the wet, or dusty street,
She treads with worn, yet willing feet,
The path oft trod before.
What sudden thought calls up the blood
The crimson tide that fain would speak
AS swift the arrowy shuttle flies,
AS swif'er still her task she plies,
While tears are on her check?
That blush wears not the tinge Of shame,
Those tears are not the tears Of sin?
Some hope, or fear, with sudden start,
Sends bounding from the busy heart.
The tell-tae blood within.
Those tears bcspe2k mothers need
a widowed mother thin and pale
For who will give the orphan food,
And find the scanty share of wood,
When her weak efforts fail'
But Mary's heart is large and fee,
And Mary's hands were made to toll
And nrer (says the blushing cheek,)
Shall one 50 pale, and i'll, and weak,
As that dear mother, toll.
God bless thee, Mary; keep thy vow,
And unto thee shall strength be given;
And when thy noble work is done,
The cross borne, the victory won,
Thy rest shall be in Heaven.

Rlrnum.s Baby Show.

Mrs. T.. OakeS Smith has published all
indignant protest against the use OF her
name in connection with Barrum's pro-
posed baby exhibition. She thus speaks

pain and humiliation 10 think any woman

ton like the one proposed. No true NO.
man can or will do so. Indeed | hardly
think any full bore American would. Ii
seems 10 me the natural mOdesty and de-
cent common sense of the sex might be
enough to protect them from what Is ut
torIv repugnant TO the spirit OF womanhood.
There is something intrinsically revolving
in this attempt 10 force aside the ven
which screens and protects the chaste mat
ron, where she and her pretty brood
within the sanctuary of home are exempt
from the rude gaze of a praying curiosity,
and thus thrusling her unblushingly into
tie public eve, with all the suggestion and
none of the dcceucieS of maternity.
The harmonious woman, To whom has
been delegated The fostering culture OF
beautiful miniature Of the Creator, will
hold herself as one made holy thcreby,and
she will profane neither herself nor child
by on unseemly or os!cntallous display OF
either. If her culture be of high order
she will shrink from il as from deadly sin.
If she have a shred of womanly pride in
the fabric of her being, she will resent the
implied insult offered her when invited To
figure personally in a human alive cattle
show"
do hope and trust, our women will
have the taste, the decency and dignity to
utterly ignore the projected Baby-Show.
Very Respectfully,
T.. CAKES SMITH.

4 Poor Fellow.

A few evenings since as We were pass
ing along one Of The principal streets o:
the city, we met a poor, tIemblmg,bloale
individual whom We had known IN better
DAYS. Once an honored business man,
The center OF an interesting circle oi SIN
ccre and trusting lrends-now shattered
wreck. drifting down the fatal stream 10 a
dlshonered grave. Once as lovely wo-
man as ever God gave to mar, called hlm
by the endearing name Of husband, who
now with her falhereSs children has fled 10
a parents home for food and shelter. HIS
blasted, SCARED and scalhed frame stag
gered before us, and we paused. Ills
beared eyes fixed themselves upon us,
with half ldiotic stare, and stretching his
levered and trembling hand grasped ours,
and in a drunkard's drlyel, addressed us,
..uow are YOU Cary! God bless you
my dear friend" Without waiting for a
r sponse, he continued, "Ah Cary, know
what YOU are thinking about, and what
YOU would say but it is too late Oh |! II
| had taken your advice six years ago,
might now be a man, but now aul uh'
done ~ We made an effort to speak,
but he interrupted, "It's no use TO talk lo
me, 90 on, God bless you Cary, yon vii
save others, but poor John is beyond YOU
reach" The drooling drunkard shed the
drunkard's tear profusely; conscious o
his CALLING chains, and assuring us that he
loved us more than any other man OF
earth, staggered away.
Noble, generous-hearted, companion,a
BILE fellow, we pity, we pray, for yon; bu
while villains stand ready to hasten yo'
on the road TO perdition, there is no hop'
of salvation.
Gods curse rest upon the wretchcs who
with deliberate and premeditated malice
are robbing society of an ornament, an(
damninC a soul.

1t appears the Grapeshot arrived out at

for the brig. In about an hour the vessels
came within haiIing distance, when the

The mechanics of the North who yet "go the
Democratic ticket blind will please to observe
that the ordinary argument in favor of Slavery on
account of the slaves being black is approaching
nulty more and more every day, owing to the Pc
cular tiles of the chivalry, and hosts of men, al
most or quite az white as themselves, advertised
In the Southern newspapers as runaways or for
sale-and their intelligence and skill duly set forth
when under the hammer, though denied in poll
teal arguments. OF course the system Of Slavery
can only be sustained by lies, and the wretched
dupes of the system at the South" the poor
white trash"-not being able to understand the
truth are easily trampled upon or deluaed; but
we ought to expect better things Of every white
mechanic of the North, Notwithstanding the ex-
istence of such presses as The Express, The Jour

out in ike manner their own convictions. We
believe this course is not only farest to all parties,
but most advantageous to Prohibition as wen az
to Republicanism.
2 II was continually proclaimed last Fall that
the Seward Wings " were selling out the cause
4" of Prohibition in order to reflect Gov. Sew
ard-and we were especially denounced on that
sccount The answer to these charges was the
reelection of Gov. Seward and the passage of a
PrshibitoIy Law.
3. "Horace Greeley" never loved his party
nor sny party-more than Temperance; he never
proposed TO sacrifice postpone or subordinate the
Temperance cause to any other. But, were he
delegate TO a Temperance Convention, he would
oppose the adoption thereby of the Republican
platform-nOt as wrorg in itself, but as inappro-
pirate in that connection. He did just this when
an attempt was made to engraft Prohibition on the
platform of the Republicans, and would do it
again He knew that pledge of all the Repub-
licans to the cause of Prohibition would have been
lie, for quite number of them are opposed to it,
He preferred to LET each cause stand on its own
merits and trust the people to sustain them both.
A. There is provocaton for remarks in our pious
neiehhor's fling at leading demagogues hungry for
"office," but we forbear. We will presume that
tie paragraph above quoted is not fair specimen
of the chastity of our Reverend minister's style,
the purity of his imagination, the courtesy of his
manner, nor the sweetness of his temper. When
he gets his Hindoo ticket elected, we trust he will
favor US with a neighbory call.
