A Sick seamstress Interferes with
n visit to Saratoga.


From tho New York Star.l
On Saturday last wealthy and fash,
ionable young lady living on Fifty-third
street was completing her preparations
TO leave for Saratoga on the following
Monday. With such prospect in view,
like most other young ladies Of her kind,
she was hard at work adjusting the TWEEN
ty-odd new dresses necessary for such
an excursion, and spent the morning
hurrying up the tired fingers OF the poor
girls who we're engaged in making or al
iering them.
Nearly all her wardrobe was in condi-
ton to pack by noon, when she discov-
cred that an elegant silk dress, with lace
trimmings, had not arrived from the
young woman to whom its completion
had been entrusted. So messenger was
dispatched to the dull, gloomy attic in
West Tenth street, where Kate Burns,
the seamstress, resided The messenger
found Mrs. Burns, who has scarcely re-
covered from the shock Of her husband
sudden death, in high fever. Her
eight-year old daughter was waiting on
her with marvellous skill and tenderness,
pumping up the water, which could not
otherwise be coaxed up to the fifth floor
on which they lived, and satisfying the
sick woman's wants, as she lay, for cool
ness, on mattress in the fire-escape,
with a tenderly precocious intelligence.
The messenger returned, only to be sent
back to the invalid with an announce
ment that the dress must be finished.
The poor, burning creature, with sep
arate ache in each of her bones, climbed
out of her refuge in the fre-escape, and
set to work on the hateful mass of silk
and lace, with the furious but artificial
energy of fever. Cheered only by the
affectionate help of the prattling, but
anxious child at her elbow, she finished
the dress by ten at night, and the little
girl carried it home
And now comes the point of this sim
pie but true story With the costly bum
die went out from the poor seamstress
garrett the seeds of the fever under whose
influence she had completed her task, |
The vulgar and low-lived germs that
should have confined their development
10 the attics of the poyerty-stricken, with
unparalleled audacity invaded the scented
precincts of fashion. The task-mistress
received her dress, but when, in cruel
.cstacy at her triumph over the sick wo-
mans feeble protest, she tried it on, she
to her system the same fever
which was prostrating the seamstress.
Not only was the trip to Saratoga spoiled,
mt it is still matter for doctors to set
lie whether she will ever have occasion
o tell a suffering fallow-creature that her
dress must be done"

Some Good Advice 10 Parents.


A little tract issued for distribution by
the Ladies Sanitary Association of Lon.
don, gives these wise suggestions for the
nurture of children in health of body
and spirits:
|. Never refuse a thing if it is harm.
less, but give it, if you are able, without
delay.
g. Never give anything because it is
cried for, that you have refused when
asked for.
3. Be careful to observe real illness,
and avoid causing bodily uneasiness from
overlooking, or cold, or unwholesome
food-such as candy plums, sour fruit, or
giving buns or cakes to quiet child
4. Avoid false promises They are
sure to be found out false.
g. Avoid threats of all kinds. If be-
lieved, they make children timid, and in
jure both mind and body. If not be-
lieved, they are useless. Such threats as
boyle, policeman, and black man are
sure to be found out to be false if the
child lives.
6. Never say anything untrue to a
child.
Z. Do not wreak your own bad temper,
or visit your own feelings of fatigue and
trouble on children, by being severe with
them, or by saying You shan't have
it, or won't give it to you" when
there is no reason for refusal, except
that you are yourself tired, or in trouble
or out of sorts.
s. Avoid giving orders, such as stand
still, Go on, Hold your tongue"
-" Put it down, ETC., unless you really
mean that they should be obeyed, and
the fewer orders you give the better.
3. Neither give too much pity, nor
yet be severe and unkind, when a child
tumbles down or hurts itself.
10. Do not worry a child Let 1t
alone and let it live in peace.
ii. Teach it early to play alone and
amuse itself
To sum up all in few words, try to
feel like a child; to enter into its griefs !
and joys, its trials and triumphs. Then
look forward TO the time when it shall
have numbered as many years as you
have seen, and pray for health and |
strength to do your duty by it. You may
fail, as We all may; but if you SOW the |
seed with humility and faith, you will |
have done all that is permitted to us i'm
perfect creatures; and if you have reared |
up a cheerful, loving truthful and brave |
spirit in healthy body, you have been |
working with Him who told US it was
not the will of our Father in Heaven |
that one Of these little ones should
perish

Mr.. SpuFgCOn OH Preaching and
Preachers.

At the autumnal session OF the
Baptist Union at Cambridge, the
other day, Mr.. Spurgeon said: L re-
commend every young minister to
make preaching his first business:
The pulpit is the Thermopylea of
Christendom. Your people may
grumble that you don't go about and
drink as many cups of tea at their
houses as they would like. If you
give them good food on the Sabbath
they will put up, with 4 great deal.
If the Sabbath joint is only a grim
scrag of mutton, with plenty of di-
visions and nothing to divide
laughter will soon discover
that your people will not be satisfied.
In the next place, do not neglect vis-
itatiOn. 1t is true that l cannot visit
my 1850 members. But my vista
tion is done by the elders.
Next let me say word OF two TO
the people. i is 4 remarkable fact
that ministers OF the Gospel arc not
able to live on much less than othe"
people. They cannot make shilling
go as far as other people can make 4
sovereign. Some Of them try very
hard, but they do not succeed. a
member once said to q minister who
wanted Il little more salary as his
family increased, II did not know
that you preached for money" 'No,
l don't" said the minister" ''I
thought you preached for souls" so
do but l could not live OH souls,
and if l could it would take Il good
many the size Of yours to make u
meal"

Danger of being weighed.

Among the incidents Of the Cincin-
natl Exposition was that of man
who weighed all who had any curios-
ity in regard to their avOjrdupOis.
The Times gives the consequences
thus:
Speaking Of getting weighed, the
gentleman weighed people from
morning till night, on Forsythe's
platform scales-giving each person
weighed a card with his OF her weight
on Il, ''if they would only Wait"-
must have a good deal to answer for.
We understand he has broken up Il
number of engagements already, by
remorselessly telling the truth "re-
garding ladies' weights" He ought
not to DO that. When a young lady
is hooped, padded and stuffed, to re-
present one hundred and thirty-fve
pounds instead ofssninety-siX, her ac-
tual weight, the WeighCst out to be
gallant enough to mark her down one
hundred and thirty-fiYe pounds.
We saw one of these dear deceptive
creatures step upon the scales yestGr-
day afternoon. She seemed plump
as partridge, at first sight and made
of that substantial material Hamlet
W1SuCu w Oull IlClJ, JLtbW StiNA ICSOlhC I
itself into dew. She steped on the
platform with a bounce that made
the scale kick the beam, though load
cd down with weights. Even the
scales, veterans as they are in the bu-
siness, were q little fooled at first.
But they quickly recovered their
and finally settled down
to ninety, her actual weight. She
looked as though she would faint
when she saw the figures, but her
lover who was standing by-hG was
perfectly abashcd and speechlcss with
amazemont. He had evidently been
courting her under the impression
that she was a plump and eyeryway
substantial specimen OF the feminine
gender; and now to find her a delu-
sion if not 4 snare-a feather weight
-itwas too much, Of rather too little.
They walked silently away, but it
was evident her jig was up with him.
Through the aid of ForsythC the scales
had failed from his eyes.
