The SeamstreSs.
BY CHARLEY LAwToN.

"There's pale and dropping maiden,
! Who tolls her life away,
With a wan heart, who's happy days are o'er
! Though her voice would be merry,
| 'Tis signing all the day
Oh hard times come again no more"
'Tis negro melody, dear reader, bu
the picture is none The less true fer al
that. How many poor girls are there
who "loii their lives away living on in
the hope of better days TO come. Alas
how frail that hope Wearily toll they
on till the finger is worn TO the bone and
the heart sick and sore with hope defer
red.
How truly did poor Hood write
"Of men with sisters dear,
Of men with mothers and wives,
IT'S not shirt you're wearing out,
But human creatures liVes.n
In her lone and cherries garret sits the
poor seamslress. The cold searching
wind Whistles in through crack and cre-
vice, chilling her very hearts blood. She
must finish the garment She is at work
on before morning, or GO without food on
the morrow, hich, by the way, is not a
rare thing with her. Her forehead seems
as if it were bound with a,band of no,
iron, and her eyes feel as if they were
burning up in their sockets. On her pale
at,enualed cheek The red hectic flush Of
consumption burns, throwing over her
face sweet, spiritual beauty, and giving
her the appearance of some angelic being
of heavenly sphere. Each day lhe lie
blood flows fainter and slower in her
veins. Still she tolls on, day by day,
seeking and striving for the Palry meal
that bu, proIongs her misery for another
.wenly.lour hours.
A neighboring cIlurch.clock strikes the
hour Of midnight. The last stitch is la
ken; weary and exhausted she sinks upon
her humble cot, 10 sleep-to lose, for a
few moments, the consciousness OF her
abiect misery. 'Tis bitter cold, and she

how to get wife with Fortune.

A young man of fine family, though
Impoverished by The revolution, asplred
10 post under government. to occupy
which il was necessaryio furnish certain
sun To deposit as security. Our hero
could not obtain the requisite amount from
his friends. and, al lasi. hit upon an expe-
dient to put an easy end 10 The difficulty.
He caused an advertisement to appear in
one of the journals as follows:
"Ayoung man, occupying an honorable
position, wishes To marry lady well bro't
up and possessed Of two hundred and fif-
lty francs"
Two hundred and fifty francs are but
fifty dollars. and as there are many wo-
men in this world who would be glad to
purchase a young, handsome, and honor
ably connected husband, on such moder-
ate terms, il was quite natural that the sd-
vertiser, in The course of three days during
which his notice appeared 10 the public,
should have received many letters OF ap-
plicalions. The young man addressed
note 10 each of the applicants. appointing
place and hour when he would meet
them altogether. and politely inviting all
To come and look at him. On the evening
indicated they came, and il is said the
company numbered full two hundred wo-
men. When all had assembled the young
man 'organlzed the meeling,' and made
speech, in which he thanked those la.
dies for lhe honor conferred upon him.
But" said the selC-possessed young gen.
teman, "you must understand perfectly
well that cannot marry you all, more
over, you are all so charming. (many Of
them were horrid old witches, eyeless,
ioolhIess, snufy and all that,) il would be
utterly impossible for me TO choose among
surt lovely creatures. This, then, is my
proposition = Consider me as an object

the lady who draws the lucky number,
and whom pledge TO marry immediate

They hesiated moment, but The yoath
was good-looking, and The ladies' were
anxious 10 marry. One Of them deiermin-
ed to accept the proposition. and the rest
followed after like a fsck Of sheep. As

But when they've caught you in their net,
They'll turn another way.
o horrid horrid only think,
While wives are cooking victuals,
To see carcass filled with drink
The floor with 'bacco spittles
Then how disgusting is the noise
OF fretful husband bawling:
How little peace wife ENJOYS,
With lots of children squalling.

While stars are in the sky
A single life's the life for me
A maid I'll live and die.
