Key's school ; and tho rabtresa declared, on inspecting tho first shirt she made for her father, "That the Duke of Bucclcuch himself might wear it!" This was hfch prabe for little Annio, who was only eleven years of andshe never forgot it .IIer work was the neatest and cleanest ever r-;n. Then, the did it to nuicklY. f'r moth. er could not keep peace with her daily uemana ior "Bomeu;.-. to sew." I wish Annie would Uke to her, book," said Mrs. Linton to her hustiad.

own big chair. On the day in question

Mrs. Key happened to bo out ol the room "I'll change scats with you Jessie Wilson, if you're cold," laid Annie addressing a little girl, ft very book worm, who, clad in a threadbare printed cotton gown, sat shivering over her lesaon. Jessie, thus invited, came a little nearer. 'vou should nut on a woolen frock like mine, and warm yourself well at your mother a Cre before you come to school these winter aays, aaia Annie crutinzining" tho poverty-struck ap rearance of the girl. Juother says," replied Jesssie. "that iho'd rathre do without a tire that my schooling, and sho can't pay for both.' "Haa your mother no fire at home this cold weather?" asked Annie, in amaiemtnt. u No." said Jessie "I wish I dared brinr? her with me here it's warmer than at home. And I know that mother is ill, though she" won't tell me." "Sit there," said Annie, placing Jessie ia her warm corner; "ana don't go out of school without me." That afttrnoon the two girls went hand in hand to Jessie's door. " "Have you plenty to cat, if you.ve no fire?" asked Annie. . "This is the first day mother has been forced to send me to school without any breakfast," said Jessie, hangng down her head, as if ashamed of the confession. . "Here" said Annie, after a slight pause, untwisting the paper in which were deposited of her first earnings; "I won't go in with you, for your mother might not like to take it rvom a little girl like me; but" and she put two shillings into Jessie's band "that is to buy you something to eat, and a fire, and, if your mother can sew as well as I can," said Annie, with pardonable vanity, "I can tell her how to get plenty of money to pay for both." No wonder Annie's riches increased; the first investment was a good one. Nevereless, the concealing of it from her parents she knew to be wrong; she feared they would disaprove of it; and she added to her little prayer at night after tho usual ending of "Uod bless father and mother and foigivöTnö for keeping secret-thai I .helped Jessie Wilson." Could the Recording Angel carryed up a purer prayer to Heaven. . . Of course: Mr. Pnd Mi,I.intoi very soon discovered that Mr. Semwell, of the "Ready-made Linen Warehouse." was the grand serce of Annie's wcalt. He said that there was no one nho could work like her, and said he would give eighteen penco each for the finest description of shirt-making. This was no great payment for Annie's exquisite stitching and thirty years ago it 9 ef er C would have brought her three-and six pensoashirt. But Annie is of the present, not of the past; and as she could complete n shirt ft day, her fin S er flying awittcr than a weaver s shute, she earned bine shillings ft week. "Good wife," said Mr. Liuton, "we are hot so poor but that we can main tain our daughter un'ill she s twenny, and by that time, at tho present rate of her earnings, she will have a little fortune in tho bank." But this little fortune amassed but slowly, for Annie seldom had nine shillings rt the end of the week there were other" Jessie Wilsons" who required food and fire. Had Annie been a poet, sho would assuredly have written, not Xha soncr. but a song of the shirt, for once when she was questioned as to the dull montony of her work: "Dull? Delightful!" said Annie in advocacy of her calling. ".Why, with this rare linen and fine thread my stitches seem like stringing little pearls along the wristbands and collar!" What an anti-song of the shirt might not Annie have written 1 Annie's eigeteenth birth-day was cel ebrated by a tea-party to all the semstresses of Mr. Seamwell's establish ment, where she was now forewoman: besides being a cheerful, kind-hearted little creature, beloved by every body u was a corapumcni, mr. öoamweu said she well deserved her admirable superintendence of the department allotted her having increased his business tenfold. : , . Sometime after, there was a 'great day of rejoicing in the firm of Somwell fc Co. ' The father had taken his son aa a partner, and tho son took a partner for life the indefatigable . little seamstress, Annie Linton. There never was a blither bridal. Annio herself. having risen from the'- ranks had a present for every work-woman. indeed, it wfta a day of presents, ' for on that very morning, and in time to be worn at '.he wedtag, a shawl arrived for Annie, all the way from Inaia an muia snawl that a duchess would have envied! Upon it was pinned a paper, on which was written: "Wear this for tho. sake of one who is now rieh and happy, but who never can forget the services you rendered to the poor school girl Jessie Wilson." "Annie," said young Seamwell after their raarmgo "I fell in love when you were a child, and ame to our shop for your first sewing. I also happened to bo passing when you gave part of your nrsr. earnings to Jessie Wilson; I was a boy then, but I said to myself: "If I wire a man. I'd marrv Annie Linton; not bceauso she's eo pretty' here Annie Llu?hcd most becomingly, not because she's so industrious, oat because eho a to kind hearted."

The ground ig covered with enow, find the moat bitter of wind is rushing through tho tent. It is misery with a vengeance. No chance of huts ever being got ' tip, and no warm clothing as yet. ' Wo have one man in hospital who must lose both feet from being frost-bitten and crowds who will loose toes, &c. I understand that it has been calculated, with the means at present at disposal, that it would take 5 months to bring up huts for all our army from Bolaklava,to they are not of much use. . From an Oßcer. Jascart 8. Wo are sinking deep er into the mire of discontent and the slough of despond everyday. Those at the head ot affairs seem tobaye uo notion of what a fix we are getting into. The complicated and cumbrous machinery that prevail! through eVerr department, the ignoranco and helplessness of every responsible idiot who ought to assist instead of confusing matters, and the wear and tear of the working, suffering, dying soldiery, prove that there is something worse than rotten in the way in which' the campaign b carried on. Now, for instance, to give you an idea of how things are managed, suppose 0 tuns of flannel drawers arrivo in tho harbor; the natural plan would be for this to be notified to a regiment, and then the Colonel might send down 100 men to carry up the 600 pairs of drawers his regiment requires. But this is much too simple for the officialism. Tho drawers are first landed; then they are put into stores, perhaps the stores are full; perhaps men cannot be found to put them there. In about a week or more the Col. of a half naked regiment occidently hears of this. He applies for them in the hrst instance to his general; tho general, after losing a few days, forwards the application to ttartcr-mnster ueneral. This worthy, in course of timn, succeed in getting Lord Raglan's signature to a requisition. This goes back, if it is not lost on the road, to tho Colonel. Ho applies to the Commissary. The commissary rends him to some one else, who send him an order on the storekecper.and so on the routine goes, and tf the Colonel gets tho drawers in a month he does uncommonly well! The harbor of Bahklava is full of ahips laden with things which have been sent out for the soldiers; but nobody knows what they aro, nobody knows how to get them, nobody knows to whom to givo them, nobody knows anything about anything that he ought to know, aad the upshoc of tho whole is, that among them all no one gets anything, nor ever, will. Wooden houses have been lying at Balaklava for a month, and more, but there is not a wooden houscfup yet in the whole army. Meanwhile healthy men sicken, and sick men die. Here, . for instance, at 9 o'clock in the morning.the whole of the men are sent to carry shot or provisions from the harbor to the lines. Tbey are away all day. and return at night. No one having been left at home, they havo no fire to dry and warm them, and no'dinncr to eat. Each gets his morsel of fat salt pork, and his unroastcd.andunground coffee. He has to cook before he eats. Many a man cats his ratiena raw. He has no chance of warming his frost bitten feet, or drying his wet boots. Ho lies down in wet and cold in hun ger and weariness, and pcrhaps.he has togo on scniry-ior me nigni, to oe relieved in the morning only a fuw minutes before he must again turn out From an Englith Offictr. . Jaxcart, 5. Twenty men, I am told, died last night in the trenches. Tho lines are on duty every alternate 21 hour, and are without clothes. We are all on short aUowancos of food. It is imposssible to keep anything dry in such weather as this; that is the worst of it. By taking violent exer cise you get warm but you &Ijo get moist, and, instead of drying your clothes, simply freeze them, and get wet whenever you take them in from the air. I am told by the chaplains and doctors that the stato of tho hospitals is dreadful. A sick man' has nothing to lie upon but his regimental blanket of course a mere rag in most Instances now. They have no lights for the hospitals unless the surgeon himself provides them. They have few medicines, and fewer tili of the commonest requisites of sick diet. Dlf Inm Pai a per atoA CrlaalnaUe. Mayor Wood, of New York, has addressed the following letter to the Belgian Consul : Mator's Officf, New York. February 1 4, 1 055 Sir: After mature deliberation and an examination of the testimony taken boforo Justice Bogart, , together with additional information from the American Consul at Antwerp, just received. 1 am reluctantly lorced to tho conclusion, that the persons now in the city prison, who came as emigrant paaangersby the ship Itochambeau, from Antwerp, aro not of a chaiactcr to be permitted to go at Urge ia this city or in this country ; .and whilo we cannot set them at liberty, we cannot longer retain them in cuatody. , Some rnc.nuro must be ndoptcd at oneo to relievo tho city from the expo a so of providing for them, and at the surao tuno to secure U3 froa the danger of their presence abroad in the country. There foie, as it is beyond question, from the evidence before me, and which ia open to your examination, that they were embarked at Ant werp by the urder and at the expenso

of the Belgian local authorities, I auggest that they be returned to their own country at tho cost of the Belgian government, whose agent you are in this city, - I see no other recourse. Humanity and justice require that they should no longer be retained in prison in this city, when they havo committed no offence; and self-preservation requires that we shall prevent them being set at liberty, with the belief that their presence would be dangerous to our property. " trorn your high character In this city, knowledge and appreciation of our institutions, I am confident you will comprehend the necessity which sorccs me, to take this position, and promptly respond to the request that these people be re-embarked tor Antwerp without delay. Your obedient servant, FERNANDO WOOD, Mayor. H. W. T. Mau, Bcgian Consul, New York.

cXoxrtsponbencc. Letter fron Evtsrrille. Evaxsvxlle, Feb. 16, 1855. The news of the passage of the Temperance Law was received Lere with very different feelings by different classes of our citizens. , I believe a majority of the people in this city, notwithstanding the largo proportion of foreigners 5re Lave,-approve the law most heartily. But many of them are greatly enraged. Those interested in the breweries, especially, seem to feel most keenly. It is said that a family in this city sent to one of our breweries for yeast, the day the news was received of the passage of the bill. The person who was sent found the whole family at the brewery crying roost bitterly, and saying that they were ruined. It is somewhat amusing to see the attempts to produce arguments against this law, by its enemies.' The necessity for legislative 'enactment on the subject is so perfectly obvious that they have ceased to oppose it. Now their policy is to oppose the law on the ground of expediency, and the natural rights vf th dear people. The right kind of a law they uro very much in favor of, .but what the right kind of a law is, leaving them to judge, would be. difficult Jo tell, , v. v But I commenced to hpeak of some of thtir arguments against the present law. One of them is that it will mul tiply liquor shops. They reason in this way: In Spencer county, for-cx-ample, there is not a single liquor shop; this law will establish one or 'more m this and all the other counties of the Slate. Wise reasoning, this I I suppose there is at least one drug store in Spencer county where liquor is kept for medicinal and mechanical purposes. Under the new law there would be nothing more, except that the druggistst, or whoever may be appointed to keep it, would be under such restrictions, as that he could not sell to men, nor they buy of him ad libitum; but only for the purposes specified in the law. Another argument, conceived by the Stato Sentinel, is, that the people will be taxed to buy liquor, and that they will revolt at it. Monstrous! It is a small thing that they are taxed by thousands to support dramshops, thro the pauperism and crime which they make; but ft terrible thing if the pooplo'a money ia taken to supply their own agents with ardent spirits only to be used for necessary purposes. But will it amount to a tax: I he agents are to charge twenty-five pev cent, on the cost of the 'liquor; will not that meet the expenses? If not, only re flect what will be saved in the way of taxes, when the wholesale drunkardmaking ia stopped, with all its horrid concomitants. A tax indeed! The law is intended to save the people from tax. ; ' .". But still it is said liquor will be sold and peoplo will drink that in Maine there is more drinking than before the passage of the law. In regard to the workings of the Maine law, I heard, a few days ago, the testimony of two liquor dealers which speaks a volume. One of them from this State, had passed through Maine," and after his return it was triumphantly asserted that bis testimony was that more liquor, was consumed in that state than . a a erer. lue question was asked him one day directly, and he waarequeated to give, candidly, the result of his observations "Well," said he, "to be' candid, I did not see a liquor shop in Maine. I could find no liquor to drink, but once, though I often inquired for it. When I did find it, I had first to buy tho stage-driver; then was taken by him round through a dark alley, into a dismal looking! back building, where I got bo!d of a bottle, took a drink, and paid fifty cents for it; and I would have given ten dollars to have had it out of me after I drank it. The other, from another state, said he fared a little better. He got oroe liquor in Bangor, but not until it was known that he was ft liquor dealer. It was kept in a terpent, (very appropriate, certainly!) and drawn out by a woman; he paid a dollar, for it, but it was good liquor. Now, sir, the very difficulty of getting tho article will, of itself, effectually put a stop to drunkenness. When men must be so cautious, search so hard, and then pay from five to tn prices for one drink, tho effect roust be to euro those who uro already inebriates, and prevent the making of new ones. Do not inebriates feel the curse more sensibly than any body else ? and do they not earnestly wish to cast off their chains? Many of them would give a world to La ablo to break off; but alas! they meet the temptation at every turn. While strolling against the terrible appetite, their necessary walks often lead them by the places where liquor is tclj out by tho tf -Jxt

and where they smell the accursed fumes as they pass. What wonder, then, if they are overcome? When these temptations are removed thousands will . reform, who otherwise could not reform.

On Friday ot last week, . we took another stroll up town, . to see . what was going on about our county jailFriend Garroutte permitted us to accompany him into the Main jail, while he locked up the prisoners in their respective cells for tue night. We learn that the 'insiders, 'who have been put there through rum, are much pleased to meet their old landlords in sneh ft place as that, on equal footing. On entering, Bro. Garroutte sang out, .'Moro rumsellers, boys!' A loud , laugh made the old jail ring as they gathered around the visitors to see if they knew any of us. One fellow eame up to ourself and asked, Have they put you in here for selling liquor?' - . Laughingly we replied, 'Not this time. On turning J to the right, we saw m man of some ago, who looked rather more like a farmer than anything else. We interrogated him as follows: 'Have you been committed here?''Yes 8ir-ee,' was the reply. 'What have you been doing?' . 'Selling liquor. .' 'Did you sell in the city?' ' 'No, Sir; I sold in Lockland. "" ' Well, Sir, how do you liko it here, anyhow?' - Oh, G 1 I don't like it very well, yon may beton that' . 'Why. did you not think of this, when you were violating the law?' . 'Well, I did think of it, but I had sold liquor a good while, and I I thought I might try it a little longer.' Well, Sir, the -liquor traßo is a bad business.' It is doing more barm in Ohio, than any other evil in the State; and this great evil ought to be put out of the way.' I'll admit it is a groat evil, and I don't care if it is put . down, but I don't think they ought to put us in jail just for selling liquor. ' 1 'What would you suggest then, as a penalty?' , . - 'Fines, Sir, heavy fines; from 5003 to60u3,if need be. .. That was what we tried to do under the old license ayatem; but what was 4he result? The rich paid their fines and sold on; while the poor, worthless scoundrel could . neither be forced to pay his fines, or molested in any way, and he sold on. But now, we put the rich and poor both in jail, and you had better think success is about to attend our labors.' .'Well, but the thiug of putting a man in jail, jutt for telling liquor, is carrying the joke a little too far 'Then quit selling with a less severe penalty.

ATiAlUHTTfH The warden ' of the Connecticut Stato Prison has got himself in a tight place. He has contracted to supply a certain number of convicts to work at the different mechanical branches, and there is a prospect of a large deficiency of hands. Since the enforcement of the liquor law he says, "We have a good, many going out from time to time, and almost nothing coming in." What a melancholy state of thingsl Tho prosperity of the State prison blasted by Maine law fanatics, and the warden prevented from fulfilling Lis contracts! ' ' The rummies would probably advise Gov. Dutton to call an extra session of the legislature and recommend the indefinite suspension of the liquor law, that the warden may keep his engagements, and that the State prison may not become worthless, is it not ft shame that the . Asylums and Prisons, which have cost the people so much, should be .thrown away to gratify the whims of temperance men and women? ' The condition of the Vermont State Prison seems to be no more hopeful than that of Connecticut. Col. liarlow, the Warden, writes as follows: - "The pecuniary prospects of our prison look rather gloomy for want of more convicts; four years ago, now, wehad 92 convicts; now only sixty-five. A large portion of our expenses are the same, with this small number, as when we had the larger number, and the receipts must be about 2.5009 less for this year than then." Ho adds: "I have looked about for the cause: 1st Thought iu-Uico was not meted

out as it should be by tho courts. But I am driven to the conclusion, af ter all, that our stringent Liquor Law it tht real cause; which, I am sure, is an injury to the prison in this respect, and will be the means of its calling on the State Treasury for a portion of its support; when, if no liquor law was in force, it would be able to pay a small sum into the Treasury annually. After all, I ' think -the law is doing more good than harm, and hope it will be enforced more efficiently than ever, in future.',' , ... , Wo agree entirely with the Colonel, not only as to the cause, but in this final conclusion..' We have, for years, regarded it as settled that the' time when the "prison doort thould It open to those eho are bound,' would soon succeed the banishment of the rum trade. . We : have looked this result full in the face, and yet our zeal for the cause of temperance haa not abated one "jot or tittle." - The revenues to thn State derived from Penitentiaries may be dispensed with without serious inconvenience.

How two Ilea c::i?d fcca Clrrcry. We read with admiration of the daring deeds of tho early settlers of this country, and embalm ia deathlsrs story the memory of those who "struck a bravo blow for oar independence in the dark days of the American Revolution. We glory Capt Smith for laying his UgU oppressor dead at Lis feet, and making his escape, we profess to eympathue with the oppressed ever) where, and yet wo remain indifferent to the many in our own country who bravely risk their lives for the take of freedom, and shako o.T the fetters of slavery just such freedom as wo love, and a worse slavery than our fathers resisted.. The Underground Railroad Agent in thiscityneccsarily becoracs acquainted with many of tbea interesting cases and through his kindness we are permitted to give as many particulars of some of these as it would seem proper and jndicious to publish. Isaao ynd Henry were owned by the samo master, and were taken to a public house to be told. They were soon disposed of, and their new mailer put them into a room together saying, "I suppose, boys, you will not make me any trouble?" Isaac, a large noble looking fellow, by the way answered vcrv meekly "6h no, we come here without any trouble, and we mean to go away without any." The new owner a trader was satisfied with the answer, ana left them. No sooner was he gone than the two slaves carried out their threat to go away without trouble; and the "uncertain riches of the new propietor walked off in the woods. The modus operandi of their living here it might not be altogether judicious to explain. Their residence, in the hut they built was of two weeks duration. Then they were discovered, and a party of armed men proceeded to capture them. The slaves were busy at breakfast when they were summoned to surrender. And told that if they came out they would be shot down on tho spot. Isaac seized a broad axe -and Henry a dirk, which tney hod obtained by hook or crook, and dashed out. Their hut was on the bank of a stream, and into the stream they plunged. The party fired on them, wounding them both severely. . Isanc'a arm was filled with shot, uud tho weapon dropped from' his hand. But the spirit of liberty was not yet quenched, and they attempted to escape, pursued of course, by the rapacious man hunters. . , After a Jong and noble effort to escape, they were at length overcome by fatigue and numbers, and retaken at once conveyed to the jail, where they were confined in the second story. Sad, indeed was their condition. Henry was sick from -his wounds, so that he could do nothing, and Isaac's arm was so injured that for two weeks ho was unable to use it. There waa If seemed, no escope but in suicide. But the spirit that burned in the bosoms of our fathers, burned also ia the bosoms of these black men7 and, as toon as I kaao'a arm could be used, - it was set about executing tha plant their heads had conceived. Here again we leaye the reader to surmise the modvt operandi. Suffice it to say that, after two weeks of almost incessant labor they were again breathing 'the air of heaven. Sixteen - long and ' weary miles did they walk on tho night of their escape, and again took up their -.. i - i residence in uic wood, now aeepiy did tbey realize the truth of the senti ment that man's greatest enemy is man The habitations of human beings were shunned and dreaded more than death, they sought and found safety in the deep silence and dark abode of nature.
