A NOVEL MANDATORY.


We find the following curious descrip-
ton of the manner in Which Ladies Muffs
are manufactured in London, in Hunts
Magazine. The writer gives the follow
ing as the manner in which the "tubbingp
process Of the skins used for the Ladies
Muffs, Boas, &C., is conducted 1.-THE
Wdrkmen are ranged in tubs along the
sides Of an apartment, or shed. or any
kind OF clubhouse, In yard or some seclu-
ded spot in London. Every tubber with
the exception of those who may be unwell
and who may then wear a loose jacket,
which, however, tells against the efficiency
of his work is altogether naked! The tub
in which the man works reaches up to the
waist and thick, yellowish cloth is thrown
its top, which the workman keeps
every now and then, gathering about him
and which he can draw around him, like
bag, SO that, while at his labor, the up
per part Of his person alone is
visible. 70 q stranger, the effect Of vi
sit to such workshop-to which tits not
easy to gain admittance--is startling
Pale, brown, and often hirsute men, move
up and down in the tubs, stamping and al
ternating their feet with little cessation;
sometimes in silence, and in many cases
t with little or no expression in their faces.
Each OF these men are Tubing, that is, he
is treading OF stamping, first upon one
foot and then on the other, on the skins
which are the compliments of his tub
These skins are for the supply Of furriers

Tubing, but the feshy part OF the skins
call buttered, and with the cheapest
butter or scrapings, and in somes places
rancid butter, when such things are pur-
chasable in sufficient quantity. Saw-dust
is used which gives the tubber a frmer
tread and tends to aid. by its friction in
securing the skins. Upon these tubbed
skins, so prepared. the men tread, and the
paspiration which sometimes pours from
them is considered better and reader for
the cure of the skins than any butter or
other fatty compound, which are looked
upon as merely auxiliary to what oozes
from the workman's body. And in this
waymen's sweat is forced for hours togeth-
er into the skinny parts of the furs which
are the ladies muffs, boas, and tippets."

CURIOUS FACTS CONCERNING
DYSPEPSIA.

The effect Of mental disquietude in pro
ducing this prevalent complaint is far
greater than generally supposed. It is
well known that persons in good health
of sound digestive organs, who take plen-
ty of exercise, and are free from anxiety
may eat almost anything, and in quanti-
ties that would kill those in different cir
cumstances. In reference to this point.
DR.. Brigham, an English medical writer
observes: We do not find dyspepsia
prevalent in countries where the people do
eat most enormously. Travellers in 81
IBERIA say that the people there often eat
forty pounds of food in one day. Admiral
Scripchoff saw Siberian eat directly af-
ter breakfast, twenty-five pounds Of boiled
rice, with three pounds s0f butter. But
dyspepsia is not common disease in ST.
IBERIA. We do not learn from Capt. Par
ry or Captain Lyon, the Arctic travellers
that their friends the Esquimaux, are very
nervous and dyspeptic, though they indi-
vidually eat ten or twelve pounds of solid
food per day, washing it down with a gal
Ion or SO of train oil Captain Lyon was,
to be sure, a little concerned for a delicate
young lady Esquimaux, who ate her can
dies, wicks and all, yet he does not allude
to her inability to digest them.

An ynteresting Starg.
MAHALA.
BY MRS. NJ. f. ROBINSON.

The evening was a beautiful one. 4
golden summers sun had disappeared IN
the far west. and the soft shades Of twi-
light were falling over the handiwork of
nature. A serene stiffness prevailed, I'M
broken even by passing breeze whisper
ing its presence to the listening leaves.
On the left in the distance, rolled the
mighty waters of the Mohawk, giving beau
ty and grandeur to the diversified scenery.
Years ago, when the river was broader
and the falls more lofty seated on messy
bank. Mahala, an Indian maiden, alter
natelv gazed at the sky and the different
objects which surrounded her. But al
though her eyes were fixed upon her blue,
feecy clouds. her thoughts were evidently
upon other things; and the knit brow and
compressed lip told that something had
occurred which was not pleasant.
Mahala was tall. graceful, just budding
into womanhood, and, as may be sur
missed, had not failed to attract the atten-
ton Of the young sachems. She was the
daughter Of the principal chief of her tribe,
and this fact had It's due weight with them.
I Her. own sex envied her, and grew jealous,
while the young men quarrelled with each
other, as to who should possess the coveted
treasure.
But Mahala was not coquettish, as beau
ties usually are. She looked with favor
Upon one only; a young and brave chief
who had distinguished himself in war and
other indian pursuits, but who, unfortu-
hately had not been selected by the faith
er as a son-in-law. The old chief think
ing it unnecessary to consult the maiden,
made his ownSchoice, informed the favored
one of his decision, and briefly signifed
to Mahala which way his wishes pointed.
The old chiefs nature was stern and
unvielding, and the latter had always fear
ed more than loved him. Remonstrance
she knew would be vain, and with heavy
heart she turned away and walked slowly
towards the spot where we find her. She
had heard the paternal command in ST.
Ience. as became an Indian maiden, but
her affections could not be controlled =
/ She had ever entained strong aversion
10 Abankee, the warrior who had sued sue
aessfully for her hand, and was sure that
he would fail to make her happy.
After time Mahala's agitated
THOUGHTS became somewhat calmer. She
was Experiencing the soothing influence Of
the 'balny and genial air, when the leaves
fustled, the boughs parted, and dark
form stood before her.
The maiden was silent, and patted her
little moccasoned foot impatiently upon
the ground. !,
Mahaia is displeased at my coming,
said the intruder, after pause
AZ came hither to be alone, /" replied the
maiden, coldly.
And not to meet Big Cloud ?" rejoined
Abankee, with a significant shrug Of the
shoulders.
Mahala frowned.

It will be such as Pleases Me.


A gentleman who was on a Journey, and
somewhat fearful, from the appearance OF
the sky, that rain was mot far off, asked a
poor shepherd, whom he saw by the way
side, what sort Of weather it would be on
the morrow.
1t will be just such weather as pleases
me-" answered the shepherd.
Though the answer was spoken very
.civilly, in mild tone, the gentleman
thought the words themselves rather alb
rupt, and asked him how that could be.
Because," replied the shepherd. q it
will. be such weather as shall please God
and whatever pleases Him, always pleas
es me-"
This beautiful answer was made by Da-
vid Saunders, shepherd on Salisbury
Plains, England, about whom Mrs. Han
nah Moore has written very celebrated
tract. He was poor in worldly goods,
but rich in heavenly treasures. His life
was a lonely one, and often he had little
to eat; but he said his Bible, which he
used to keep in the thatch Of his hut, was
often his meat, drink and company. This
little talk with the stranger showed him
to be a true child Of God, for hesaw and
loved the authority Of his Heavenly Faith
er in every thing even in the fair or cloudy
weather of tomorrow.
This spirit Of sweet submission to Gods
rule, in the little events of life, would save
from the grumbling and ill-humor which
cloud the sunshine Of many child. We
are often disappointed and blamed; we Of.
ten make mistakes and forget; things do
hot always turn out as we expect; but by
these God is pleased to try u.s. and we
must accept them from His hand, and
strive, to improve by them, and feel that
whatever pleases Him should please
us.
a little boy wants to go a skating Sat

reasons for not giving him leave to co.
Shall he pout, and fret, and rebel against

that I shall mind my mother, and whatev-

boy, cheerfully giving up. Is not that
the true and happy way?

IBTMODESTY IN FASHIONABLE
FEMALES,

If / thought I should not be okracised
for my temerity, would embrace this op,
portunity to present a suggestion or two
in relation to the style Of g full dfess,n 50
called, adopted very recently by very ma
.ny Of our ladies on public occasi9nsz At
the risk Of many frowns, cast from brows
which | should much regret to see distor-
ted, I must be permitted to suggest that
fashion, in this particular, neves within
my recollection, was so REGARDLESS Of good
taste, not to say. Of modesty, as dow. La
dies evening apparel is anything but full
dress, in the literal sense-ag least in
many instances. The unohiecdonable ex-
posure of the throat and neckj which re-
placed the stifly -starched stauding collars
or ruffles of elden times, has Been carica
tured OF late, until now our fashionablv
Iarrayed lady can scarce be hid to wear
any waist whatever to her dress, save d
broad belt next the skiftfand narrow
strap from it around the upper part Of the
arm. | admit that this peture IS very
Slightly overdiawn, but T know not how
better to intimate the Infinite distaste
which sensible men express when speak
ing Of tho prevailing fashion. l know
full well that many excellent. amiable and
well-bred ladies indulge in. this stvie
thoughtlessly. The4nahtuamaker often
times is left to suit kerlown idea of taste
and fashion; and the gentle wearer, when
she dons for the first time the strange, I'M
natural apparel, stiles her better Judge
mept by the careless reflection, Its the
fashion, Let measure you, fair reader
that the true gentleman cannot and does
not admire slavery to fashion at the ex-
5pense of health; god taste, and must say
Eit?--modesty. Idesign no reelection; but
| submit it to the better judgment Of the
fair sex, in their moments of cool reaec-
ton, whether such exposure Of their per-
sons as is oft Witnessed in fashionable So
ciety nowadays, can be long INDUCED in
