WORKING GRIs.-IIcrc is n short chapter in
commcndaton of the working girls, q numerous
class Of the community, whose useful labors arc
frequently too little appreciated
HAPPY GnI.s who cannot love them? with
cheeks like the roses, bright eyes, and elastic
step, how chcerfully they go to work. Our repu-
tation for it, such girls will make excellent wives.
Blessed indeed will those men be who secure such
prizes. Contrast those who do nothing but sigh
all day, and live to follow the fashions, who nev.
CT earn the bread they cat. or the shoes they
wear ; who are languid and lazy from one week
end to the other Who but a simpleton and pop
Inlay would prefer one of the latter, if he were
looking for u companion? Give us the working
girls they are worth their weight in gold. You
never sec them mincng along, or jump dozen
feet to steer clear Of Il spider or II fly they have
no aficctation, or silly airs about them. When
they meet you they speak without putting on u
dozen silly airs, or trying to show off to better
advantage, and you feel as if you were talking to
u human being, and not to a painted automaton
or fallen angel.
If girls knew how sadly they missed 1t, while
they endeavor To show Off their delicate hands
and unsoiled skins, and put on n thousand airs,
they would give worlds for the situation OF the
working ladies, who are as far above them in in.
tcligcnce, in honor, in everything as the heavens
are above the earth
BE wise. then; you have made fools of your
selves through le Turn over Il new leaf, and
begin though late, to live and act as human be-
ings rs companions TO immortal man. and not
playthings and dolls. In no other way can you
be happy and subserve the designs Of your exist
ence.

A SCENE AT EDWARD EvERETT's LECTURE Al
ALBANIA letter, alluding 10 the eulogy on
George Washington, pronounced by the Hon. Ed
ward Everett, at Albany, q short time since,
says
Il cannot soon forget the scene on the stage
last evening. In the spacious pulpit of the church
of the distinguished clergyman and author, the
Rev. DR.. Spragus at his side were judge Conk-
ling and the venerable Mott, who more than fifty
three years since melted the heart of the people
over the grave Of Alexander Hamilton. On the
stage the Chancellor of the Regents of the Uni
versity, Mr.. Lansing, and Governor King sat TO-
gether. On the other side sat Mr.. Fillmore. I'M
mcdiately in the rear, Philip Church and John
Miller,--in their day companions of Washington
and in front the greai orator.
Mr.. Everett introduced an culogy on Rufus
King, which was fclicitously expressed. He did
not forgct-he never does--to allude to the for
tunatc men who i'll active health and bright mind,
could rccollect how the Father Of his Country
walked and talked among men. Scene after
scene, character after character of history, like
pictures from the pencil of Mac aulay passed be-
fore the audience, and the national heart beat
high and the fire Of patriotic feeling sparked and
shone from hearts whence party had seemed to
have crushed it OUT

VERY ToucnING--IIorc is a touching description
of a moonlight scene. After whirling for some
time in the ccstatic mazes of q delightful waltz,
Cornelia and myself stepped out unobserved, on
to the balcony, to enjoy few of those moments
of solicitudc so precious to lovers. 1t was glo-
rious night, the air was cool and refreshing. AS
gazcd on the beautiful being at my side |
thought | never saw her look so lovely; the full
moon cast her bright rays over her whole person,
giving her almost an angelic appearance, and i'm
parting to her flowing curls still more golden
hue One of her soft hands rested in mine, and
ever and anon she met my ardent gaze with one
of pure conRding love- Suddenly change came
over her soft features, her full red lips trembled
as if with suppressed emotion q tear-drop rested
on her long. dropping lashes, the muscles around
her faultless mouth became convulsed, she gasp
ed for breath and snatched her hand from the
Nwarm pressure of my own, she turned suddenly
away, buried her face in her white fine cambrc
handkerchief and sneezed

A WEEriNG Man on THE LEvEE We saw
poor old fellow sitting alone on the Levec, cry
ing bitterly. Every nerve seemed to be quiver-
ing with the agony which none but strong man
can feel, and the tears were driving each other
between his fingers with which he was trying TO
shut out the world from his sight. At first we
thought to pass on but the Instinct Of sympathy
caused us to turn back and speak to him. Lay
ing hand gently on his shoulder we asked what
The matter was lie shrank st the touch, and
looking up half angry, asked what We wanted,
bat in moment his face frightened. and wipng
his eyes with his coat sleeve and putting on his
hat which had dropped Off in front of him, ho
answered Oh, Jasus! | fale as II the whoul
hyens were a-cavin in on me- His story was
long, but the buden of it was that he had left
wife and two children in Boston that the mother
had died and the landlord had turned the children
out OF doors to wander about and beg in the
street that friend had sent to him for money
TO take care Of the children, but he had no money
to send them lie had worked two months for
man in the mines, but the claim failed and his
employer could not pay him, and there he was

with nothing to eat, no place to sleep and his two
little boys starvelmg bcggars in the streets of
Boston. This WAS enough to make the heart OF
the lrshman turn back to tac shamrocks OF his
native isle, forgetful of the mserics that had
driven him away. The next day we found him
digging a cellar, for which he was to get humid
red dollars. lie was digging furiously, and the
great drops of sweat were rolling down his face
and breast. lie was TO have twenty-five dollars
before the work was done, to send by the steamer,
going in few days, and oh, what would not
twenty five dollars buy Tor the little Irish beggar
boys in Boston! lie hardly looled like the same
person his iace was full OF hope and the swell

The First Disappointment.

weston, Texas -
saw youthful mother,
Once on q summers day
Set down smiling infant,
To watch its froic play
1t gambolcd on the flowers
That decked the carpet Ger,
And seemed, with childish wonder,
Each object to explore
A something on the instant
Its glad career arrests,
And earnestly it gazes where
A golden sunbeam rests;
While on the new found glory
1t fixed its wandering eyes,
And truthfully reached forth its haud,
To seize the glittcring prize.
And now its tiny fingers clasp
The treasure rich aud rare,
Which in its baby innocence
1t surely thought were there.
But ah that hand uncloses,
And to its earnest gaze
Reveals no gem of beauty
No bright imprisoned raysl
And then the first of many tears
Fell on the cherub face
The first sad disappointment
In lifc's uncertain race !
And thus it has been with MS all,
Who its dark game have played
We've sought to grasp the sunshine,
And only found the shade.

POSSIBILITY OF FINDING THE CENTRAL AMER
lCA.

1CA.
Various conectures have been advanced to the pos
sbty of discovering the exact position of the wreck of
the steamer Central America This problem propose to
solve by the following process The position of the
wreck having been already ascetained within five miles,
and the soundngs of that locality averaging from 20 to
600 fahoms, propose to suggest means by which her
exact position may be discovered viz by the of
powerful submarine electric lantern in connexion with
submarine telescope The submarine electric lantern
is an instrument very well known and in extensive
use the light of which be increased to any inten-
sty and by which objects may be discovered at the
depth of two miles The submarine telescope is
binary telescope made tight and screwed through
the bottom of the vessel enabling persons with the aid of
the electric light to discover objects far the electric
light reflect By the of these two simple instru-
ments the wreck of the Central America can without
doubt be discovered and in order to satisfy ourselves
that this -fated ship is not in depth from which she
be raised would suggest the propety Of fitting out
an expedition for the purpose of determining that point
1t could be done at comparatively trfing cost, and
would not only give satisfaction to those Immediately
interested but also to the community at large.
