In collecting clothing for the Chicago
sufferers III Pawtucket, a few days since,
the children in one of the infant schools
were given n recess to go home and
bring whatever wearing apparel they
had to spare. One of the little girls
went home for her share, and as her
mother had stepped out, concluded to
help herself, and accordingly picked up
all the dresses, etc., of which she was
possessed, save what she had on, and
with all the gravity possible presented
them to the committee, who, of course,
packed them with the rest ard sent them
away. When the little girls mother
came to look for change Of clothes for
the child after school, the discovery of
what had been done took place, and tho
CONSERVATION in that family can be better
Imagined than described. The little
miss SAID she had been sent home to get
her clothes, which she had obcyed to the
letter.

The first manufacturer of buttons in tho
United States was Samuel Wiliston. While

her that she could cover by hand the wooden

penny. From this the couple advanced in

BEDRAGGLED SKIRTs-A PRETExT.-
The New York Standard dwells on the
demoralizing influence of long skirts.
The editor has been OH Broadway, and
saw there beautiful women, with spirit
ual faces and refinement of manner
clothed with all the skill Of the modiSte,
drag after them their costly drapery,
loaded with dirt and filth fully one foot
from the hem. Inspired by their ex-
amples, down through all grades Of So
ciety, working women, shop girls and
servants, no matter what their occupa-
tion or income, from East River TO North
from the Battery TO the city limits, col
lect the refuse and garbage of the street
and carry it about ON their persons. We
smiled upon the Alexandria limp. We
amused ourselves with sancy filings at
the Grecian bend. We have gazed with
wonder at this latest and most successl ul
imitation of the kangaroo, and we have
enioyed the grand combination as one
does the antics of the clown, or the
pantomime, or the contortions of the
India rubber man. But We are filled
with disgust at the trailing filth. A
woman should be neat even as she is
chaste. Upziainess skaters the fairest
ideal. Neat6ess and cleanliness is de-
manded of her in the very fitness OF
things, were there not thousand other
reasons.

A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT. Mr.. Adams,
in bis beautiful book of Thanksgiving
Memories" gives us the following in.
cident:
'In the Cathedral of Limerick there
hangs a chime OF bells, which was cast
in Italy by an enthusiast in his trade,
who fixed his home near the monastery
where they were first hung, that he
might daily enjoy their sweet and SOL
emn music. In some political revolution
the bells were taken away to some dis
tant land aud their maker himself be-
came refugee and exile. His wander
ings brought him, after many years, to
Ireland. On calm and beautiful eve
ming, as the vessel which bore him float
ed on the bosom of Shannon, suddenly
the evening chimes pealed from the
cathedral towers. His practical ear
caught the sound, and he knew that his
lost treasures were found. His early
home, his old friends, his beloved native
land, all the best associations of his life
were in those sounds. He laid himself
back in the boat, crossed his arms upon
his breast and listened to the music.
hS oOoO iSdSbOu Vic idi ONb osiii wv
lay there, silent and motionless. They
spoke to him, but he did not answer.
They went to him, but his spirit had fled.
The tide of memories that came vibrat-
ing through his heart at that well-knowp
chime had snapped its strings :"
1t was this incident that suggested to
Moore his song of ''The Evening Bells. !"
As Moore is not SO much read as he used
to be a quarter Of q century ago, we re-
print the lines, as they may not be famil.
lar to some of our readers
'Fhose evening bells Those evening bells
| How many tale their music tells,
| OF youth and home and that sweet time
! When last heard their soothing chime.
! Those joyous hours have passed away,
| And many heart then was gay,
| Within the tomb now darkly dwrlls,
And hears no more those evening bells.
And thus't shall be when l am gone,
That tunefnl peal shall still ring oD,
| And other bards shall walk these dells.
And sing thy praise, sweet evening bells.

THE WORK Done INsIDE.-One Of my
friends is a very earnest, shrewd man,
who seems 10 know how to do the best
thing at the right time. One day he
was passing a WHISKY shop when he saw
4 drunken man lying ON the ground.
The poor fellow had evidently been
turned out OF doors when all his money
was gone. My friend FASTENED across
the street, and entering grecrr's shop,
addressing the master, said
'Will you oblige me with the largest
sheet OF paper you have ]?
When the sheet Of paper was pro-
cured, he said
'Now will you lend me piece Of
chalk ?
'Why, what are you going to do p
you shall see, presently He then
quickly printed, i'll large letter:
SPECIMEN OF WORK DONE INSIDE"
He then fastened the paper over the
drunken man, and retired short dis.
tance. In a few moments several passen.
gers stopped and read aloud, Specimen
of the work done inside"
In very short time crowd assem-
bled, and the publican hearing the noise
and laughter outside, came out to see
what it was all about. He eagerly bent
down and read the inscription on thu
paper, and then demrndt d III an angry
voice, who did that =
(Which p asked my friend, who now

SELECT POETRY.
Don't be Sorrowful, Darling.
BY ALICE CAREY.


Oh don't be sorrowing darling,
Don't be sorrOwful, pray;
For taking the year together, my dear,
There's not more night than day.
Its rainy weather, my darling,
Times waves they heavily run;
But taking the year together my dear,
There's not more cloud than sun.
We are old folks now, my darling.
Our heads are turning gray;
But taking the year all round, my dear,
Wen always find the May.
We have had our May, my darling,
And our roses, long ago;
And the time of year is coming, my dear
For the silent night and the snow.
For God is God my darling,
OF the night as well as the day;
And we feel and know that we can go
Wherever he leads the way;
Aye, God of the night, my darling
OF the night of death so grim;
For the gate that leads from life, dear wife
Is the gate that leads 10 Him.

ONE by one the democratic papers of the
State disclose their connection with the
public printing swindle. Some of them
are slow to do it and take it is bitter pill,
but the honest Taxpayers can spot most OF
them now. They never deny the charges
preferred, but like Mayor Hall and the
Tammany Ring of thieves, ask the public
to discredit bold, specific charges of plum
dering, not because they are denied, but
because ofthe preUiouschdrdcter of the ac-
cused.
Like Mayor Hall and his confederates
in another respect, instead of proving
themselves innocent, they fall to abusing
their accuser and questioning his motives.
The defence of the Nashville ring and
their .Gpnfederates is an exeet repetition
of Tammany's - r,rrN .r.

SOME days ago party of young bloods
near Lebanon put on their Kukiux uni
form, and for an evening pastime, proposed
TO 90 out and kill niger" They went
out to the house of colered man, named
Isaac Cheek, and after trying to drive him
out by threats, set fire to his house. The
assaulted man defended himself by firing
at the party the contents of heavily load
ed shot gun, instantly killing one of the
party, Thomas Lyons. ferrarEtff7
The Lebanon Herald, a Democratic pa
per, speaks out manfully about the case.
We are glad to publish portion of its ar
ticle, and if we had more such rebukes

We may regret that young Lyons was led in

citizen can afford to regret that the midnight
providers, who disgraced the soil of our good
county, have been taught q terrible lesson at
last and that lawlessness has met the fate which
it so richly deserves. sH@
Isaac Cheek did right. He is a citizen of
Wilson county and as such, he is as fully en-
titled to the protection of the law, as to his per-
son, property and premises, rs the wealthiest
and the best within her borders. Isaac Checks
premises were invaded his house was attacked
his safety was threatened; his life, as he be-
heved, was in imminent peril-and in the STAY
ing of of his ASSISTANTS in the defence of his
feasible right to do. And the officers of the
law must hold him harmless the authorities
must see to it that he has the amplest protection
from all violence or intimidation. n-l-51H

The Democracy of the West have here
tofore been supposed to be united upon the
financial question as against the Demoe-
racy of the East, but it now seems they
are not only divided over the "new de-
parturen but are warning zealously over a
financial policy. The Chicago Times de-
nounces the Pendleton Ohio policy.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, the organ of
Mr.. Pendleton, lays down the Democratic
platform. The following are some of its
planks: ag. 1s5
1--WE are for paying the ive-twenty bonds in
greenbacks. 71- ..1h
I'VE are for substituting greenbacks for ma
tional bank notes.
1--WE are for taxing the bonds as other prop
erty is taxed"
These are good articles of faith to ensure
another national defeat, if well adhered to
until next year. tlH iHEfDtn

A GREAT deal of interest is manifested
in financial circles all through the coun-
try as to what will be the future policy of
Secretary Boutwell, concerning the furth-
er changes in the shape of our puplic debt.
A well informed Washington correspond
ent says: The prevailing opinion is that
the rest of the loan ought to be put upon
the market as soon as possible, now that
the excitement is at the flood. 1t seems
to be understood that no more five per
cents. will be offered singly, but that
when any portion of the new loan shall
again be placed in the market subscribers
will be required to take equal portions of
4, A and per cents. The two hundred
millions of five per cents. offered in May
last, have been cleaned out under the
operations of thesyndicatesin pretty short
order, and have been placed in bona fide
manner, and the gold for their face value,
or at least great portion of it, is now at
the disposal of the secretary, who will, on
the first proximo, issue call at aihS-
ty days notice for considerable amount of
1862 bonds.
