In room ut the Girard College in Phila-
delPhia, is kept large portion of Mr.. Girard's $
antiquated wardrobe, which is shown to visit
Ors, and 10 generally viewed with much inter-
est. With this explanation, the following
good one,n from the Philadelphia North

60 A few days since a party of Friends, com
prising eight persons, male and female, made
their FIRST visit to the city. They inspected
the Mint, Fairmount Park, and other places,
at once, devOting the last day of their stay to a
leisurely tour through the Girard College
They first went over the grounds, and then
saw the pupils, the school rooms the dormito-
ries and play-rooms They then asked to be
shown the room where Stephens old clothing
was kept Their escort was a recently-en.
gagged female domestic, rather fresh from the
sod, who professed to know how to do any
thing. an dsle besides.' Milesian female
listened to the request to be shown Stephens
old clothing and remarked that nothing was
aysier.' She conducted the party to the fourth
story Of the building occupied by Professor
Stevens. She brought seats for her guests,
and then spread before them several pair Of
pants, good deal the worse for wear, a num-
Der OF vests IN like condition, and two coats,
ono with a claw.hammer tail, and the other a
dress-coat that had been conv erted into sbob.
The visitors handled the garments with
great veneratiOn, expressed themselves freely
as to Friend Stephens taste in personal ap-
parel, commented upon the stitching of the
button holes, the cut Of the unmentiona bles.
and finally retired, greatly gratiied at having
ocularly examined friend Stephens ward.
robe As they descended the stairs the party
passed the open door of a sleeping room, in
which Mrs. Professor Stevens was taking
siesta. Mrs. Stevens saw one, two, three, and
finally eight people coming down the stairs Of
her own private dwelling, and wondered what
was meant by the intrusion. The servant girl,
however. saw them to the door, received their
thanks for her politeness in exhibiting Ste
phen's wearing apparel, and then returned to
her mistress
''' Who were those people, Biddyr asked
Mrs. Stevens. =
"t Mighty nice people, indade, ma am.
They're afther lookin' at Mr.. Stevens's ould
clothes
So Mr.. Stevens's old clothes?'
fis, ma am; sure they axed to see 'em,
and TUX 'em up into tho garret and showed
'em Mr.: Stevens's ould brooches and the like
o. thin
Mrs. Stevens saw how matters stood, and
laughed until the tears came The worthy
Friends, we doubt not, will do the same thing
when they learn that the laundering Irish
girl, instead Of gratifying their desire to be-
hold the garments worn by Stephen Girard,
had treated them to a view of Professor Ste
venss cast-of clothing.

A PIOUs RENARK.-We hope our readers
will not accuse US of making light of religion,
for we assure them that nothing is further from
our intention, yet We cannot forbear repeating
the following true story, which we heard not
long since, from the lips Of one who saw and
heard the whole affair:
In the town of Il, up in New Hampshire
some years since, there was quite an exciting
religious revival, and not few who had been
considered as gone cases, F" were convinced of
tne error OF their ways, and induced to repent
Among the many new converts was one Be's,y
o, who had, for a long time, held out against
all arguments and exhortations, but at last she
experienced q change Of heart, and arose in
meeting and made known the fact in a long
and violent TRADE against all who M negIeoted the
present opportunity to embrace the Christian
religion, and thereby save themselves from the
wrath to come Her sister, Molly, for some
time had ben professor, !" and 80 rejoice ed
was she to know that Betsey had been convert
ed, that she gave vent to her feelings, while
Betsey was speaking by shouting THAT )

Betsey, indignant at being interrupted.
turned about face to her sister and exclaimed
MOLLY, Why can't you hold your internal
yop when Tn talking"
Perhaps there were some doubts about Bet
sey's sineerity-we don't know.

WA San Francisco shopkeeper was cum
ningly outwitted a few weeks since by an un-
principled female, in this wise A lady
attracted by the ''loveliness'' Of cloak grace
fully hung over mock woman's figure pur-
chased it. In the act of paying, however, it
became apparent that her finances lacked just
one dollar Of the required amount. After a
little reflection, she told the shopkeepe she
would leave with him all the money she had
with her, and send her husband during the
day with the balance. To this, Of course, the
shOpkeeper consented. Among other custom
ers of the day, lady" No. 2, was also fasci-
mated by the charms of this cloak, for which
the greater portion of the price bad been paid,
and, on inquiry, was informed by the dealer
that it was already disposed of, ut the same
time unheedingly mentioning the particulars
relative to the purchase. She sought an ac-
complice, who soon reached the shOpkeeper' $
emporium. The unwary dealer promptly
wrapped up the cloak IN a neat parcel, and
politely handed it over to the pretended hus-
band. who quickly departed. But what was
the shopkeeper's astOnishment, when after the
lapse Of few hours, tho veritable husband of
lady No. made his appearance. There was
no alternative; the closd was non est, and the
money had to be refunded. And what was his
still greater astonishment when in a few mo-
ments third husband came in anxious for
cloak He sunk in despair, leaving his clerk
to settle the matter, thinking he had been
swindled enough The last conner proved to be
a genuine husband, and Of course had to be
satisfied.

THB FOUNDATIONS OF HoUSEs.-The nature
and condition of the soil upon which houses are
to be built, should receive far moro attention
than is usually bestowed upon such subjects
soil which is spoDgy and damp, or contsins
much loose organic matter, is generally un-
healthy whereas dry. porous soil affords a
healthy site for building. Thus a compact
sand and gravel soil, like that upon which the
greater part Of the city of New York is built
is very favorable to health: because 1t has suf-
hciently porosity to allow surface water to
under oxydizstiOn without causing malarious
vapOrs. Wherever we find a soil deficient in
gravel or sand, or where gravel and sand beds
underlaid with clay, there should be thorough
subsoil drainage, because the clay retains the
water, and house built such q spot would
otherwise always be damp and unhealthy.
When the sub-soil is swampy, which is the
case with many portions of various cities that
have been filled in with what is called made
earth, fever is liable to prevail in houses built
IN such, localities, owing to the decay of organic
matter underneath, and its ascension in the
form Of gas through the soil When good drain.
age cannot be effected in such situations, and
it is found necessary to build houses on them,
they should always have solid floors of con-
crete, laid from the outside of the foundation,
and covering tho whole area over which the
structure is erected.
The old Romans, who were exceedingly SEN
sible persons in all that related to houses made
all their buildings with concrete floors, and
over each of these a flooring of tiles was laid
These floors tended to prevent dampness in
their houses, consequently they were more
healthy than they otherwise would have been
Such floors also tended to prevent the cracking
Of the walls, owing to the solidity and firmnes;
impaired to their foundations. We recon
mend the general adoption of such floors of all
buildings which may be hereafter built on
made soil or in damp situations.-N Y. Post
