..&-ys... DOESTICXS AT A CHARITABLE FAIR. There was a Postoffice pretty girl called me, had a letter for me bought it paid ten centsnothing in it blank. Solicitous young lady very anxious to have me give her twenty-five cents to tell me how much I weighed paid her the money, and she told me within tifty-one pounds and a half young woman wanted me to invest in the "grab-bag" gave half a dollar and fished in got, in three times trying, a tin whistle, half a stick of candy, and a peanut done up in tissue paper. Went on to the auction-table, where, after much competition with a ringleted miss, (who was put thereto make Peter-Funk bids against probable purchasers) succeeded in bidding in a China vase, which 1 soon discovered had a hole iu the bottom, and wouldn't hold water any more than it would bake pork. If I had bought it anywhere else, should have thought I had been swindled, and have demanded my money back, but here, I supposed it was an exemplification of some newly discovered principle of fair dealing, with which I was not yet ac- ' quainted. Was much amused with the way they disposed of the unsold goods certain number of articles, (things left at the tables tended by the homely girls) and for each article twenty tickets were put into a hat, whence they were drawn out singly, and the last tickets drawn were to have the prizes should have thought it was just the same as a lottery, if I had not been acquainted with the ladies, and known they wouldn't do anything so naughty. Came to a place where an old lady, with steel spectacles, was cutting up a loaf of cake into particularly small pieces asked what it meant was told there was a gold ring somewhere in the cake, and they proposed to sell each piece for a quarter of a dollar, and give the ring to the lucky buyer wondered if it wasn't another lottery on a small scale, but supposed it couldn't be went to the supper-room. It is a curious metropolitan fact, that at parties, balls, or wherever a refreshment-table is spread, every man seems to regard his just duty to fill himself to the very mouth all the "delicacies of the season," and to accomplish it in the least " time possible as if he was a gun, and anxious to ascertain his calibre, and find out how quickly he could be loaded in case of necessity. And the ladies are not far behind; this evening, I learned how much a female can eat in a charitable cause a pale-faced ball-room belle is a modern Sphinx a gastronomic problem, whose solution will probably never be satisfactorily expounded. Under the impression that she would not eat more than I had money to pay for, I invited a lady to take some refreshments, and I certainly think that, like the countryman, she imagined she was bound to eat all the bill-of-fare called for. She ate stewed oysters fried oysters boiled turkey with' oyster sauce, celery oysters, on the shell ice cream, sponge cake, and Charlotte russe Roman punch, two water-ices, coffee, sandwiches, cold sausage, lobster salad, oysters broiled, also 6tewed again, and six on the shell orange jelly, grape ditto, cake; she then hinted again at oysters, but as the supply had run out, she was obliged to go hungry paid the bill with a certified check on the Merchant's . Bank, which luckily covered , the amount, and greatly relieved my mind; for I feared there would be a balance which I would have to give my note for. Having previously procured the articles required for my friend, I immediately left got home, and proceeded to examine my purchases found that the slippers having been pasted together without the slightest regard to permanency, had come apart in my pocket, my comforter had raveled out, so that I had about six inches comforter, and a wad of yarn big enough to make a horse-blanket my dressing-gown had been made of a moth-eaten remnant, and where there was any sewing, every stitch was long as a railroad, but the sleeves had, I verily believe, been put in with court-plaster, and the long seams closed with carpenter's glue. ; Made up my mind that the objects of that feminine institution, a Ladies' Fair, are somewhat as follows: Firstly, to give the ladies an opportunity to show their new clothes, and to talk with a multitude of unknown gentlemen, without any preliminary introduction. Secondly, to beg as much money as possible from the gentlemen aforesaid, under the transparent formality of bargain and sale which sale includes the buyer, who is really the only article fairly "sold" in the whole collection. Thirdly, to give some money to the ostentatiously poor, if there is any left after paying expenses, and the Committee don't spend it in carriage hire. ' In New York, by a refinement in Benevolence, engendered by the hardness of the times, and the necessity of making the money go as far as it will, charily money answers a double purpose;' procuring pleasure for the rich, and soup for the poor. Thus, if you pay three dollars for a tick--ct to the Opera, or Ball, you can enjoy your Aria, or Schottische, with a duoble relish; and can eat oysters and Turkey, and gulp down creams and ices, till your stomach "strikes," in the labor of love, with the happy consciousness, that it is all for "sweet charity" and if the three dollars, before it reach the needy, in whose behalf you gave it, dwindles to three dimes and a fip. you can, knowing you have done your duty, poetically exclaim, with the noble Thane, "Thou canst not say 1 did it." Major Fusby's Dislike to "Spoon Vittels." Muggins, the Cincinnati correspondent of the New York Spirit of the Times, tells the following rich story: Did you ever hear how old Major Fusby came to take such a dislike to "spoon vittels?" No! Then I'll tell you. . . ' In the first place, the Major' has been, from time immemorial, the proprietor of an uncontrollable propensity to conquer that most unconquerable institution, familiarly known as "the tiger," (the game of Faro.) In his numerous combats with the monster, the Major had, from time to time, received some pretty severe scratches, so much so, indeed, that latterly he is often mighty hard pushed for a "stake." For a time his check ; was good for any amount of "chips," but having given it upon two or three occasions lately, when he had no money in bank,' and it was, of course, dishonored when presented in the morning, the menagerie men now refuse to further jeopardize the precious lives of their respective animals, unless the Major can pay cash, or its equivalent, for the privilege of a tilt.

One night last fall the Major, by some unknown means, managed to raise a hundred dollars, with which he fought for about twenty minutes, at the expiration of which time he lacked just a hundred dollars of having a hundred. After watching the game in silence for a few minutes, he made up his mind to "go in" again, and offered his check and honor for $100, but as the showman was already the holder of a dishonored instrument, bearing the Major's autograph, and which vainly called for 200, he respectfully declined to advance the money, except upon tangible security. The Major fell back in a fit of moody silence, in which he appeared to be revolving some scheme whereby he might retrieve his losses of the night. Suddenly his eye gleamed he had been successful; he had no watch or other jewelry, but he had a fine full set of teeth, for which a few weeks before he had paid $150. Acting upon the consciousness of the possession of the means wherewith to retrieve himself, and perhaps, "bust the bank," he offered to stake his teeth at $100. "Down with 'em," was th,e dealer's emphatic response, and sure enough, out popped the teeth from the Major's mouth, and down they went on an ace. "Go both jaws?" was the dealer's inquiry. "Both jaws!" was the Major's desperate reply. Clip went the box, out came a "split," and away went the Major's upper jaw, ruthlessly un

hinged from its companion, by the unfeeling Danker, and deposited among the bank notes in the till. The Major looked a little blank; but all was not lost; he still had a lower jaw, which desperately staked'and "coppered," with a view to the recovery of his upper masticators; but fortune was against him, and a moment after the disconsolate lower jaw, with a sort of rgrin of satisfaction upon it, was reunited with its companion in the till of the serene banker. At first the Major stood aghast, but finally undertook to make some arrangement whereby he could regain his lost teeth; there was but one arrangement the banker would enter into, and that was the delivery of the teeth upon his receiving MOO. It was in vain that the Major tendered his check; it was in vain that he drew himself up to his full height, slapped the left breast of his waist-coat and talked of his honor; the banker was inexorable, and the Major left the "institute" and wended his way sadly homeward. What should he do! Where get a hundred dollars? He couldn't borrow it upon the street, for the terms were ten per cent, a minute, and cash security to double the amount as "collateral." The only recourse left him was to go home, lock himself up, live on soaked crackers, and such other spoon diet as required no grinding, and quietly wait, like the improvident Micawber, for "something to turn up." This the Major did for three long weeks, at the expiration of which time, it may reasonably be inferred, that something did turn up, from the significant circum stance of the Major stepping into a restaurant and ordering a roast turkey and rump steak for one. If anv body wants to vary the "dull monotony" of this terrestial existence, all they have to do is to ask the Major how he likes "spoon vittels;" whenever that question is asked, those anywhere near the Major leave. jlSyThe Johnstown Tribune has a "letter found by a chambermaid" supposed to have been penned by a young Miss at a boarding school in a neighboring State. One part is too good to loose: "1 must tell you about an atlair ot limma Hall s that happened last Saturday. A young man who had been paying some attention to her, had agreed to come and pass off for her cousin and take her out carriage riding, under the pretence that he was taking her to ins lather s, a few miles out in the country. But his father does not live within, a hundred miles of this. 11 "Well, he came according to appointment, introduced himself as Emma's cousin, and asked to take her home with him to spend the afternoon. Miss Waldron said she had not the slightest objection, asked how far it was, and in what direction, and told Emma to get ready to go. But when Emma was dressed and ready to start, Miss Waldron also came down ready dressed, and said that as their carriage was large enough for three, she would go along with them part of the way, and stop at a friend's who lived a short distance from the uncle that Emma was gcTing to see and they might stop for her as they came back in the evening. Of course they could do no better than tell her they would be glad to have her go with them although they had a dull time with her along. But they thought they could make up for it by having a nice, sociable ride, after Miss Waldron stopped at her friend's. So off they started in fine spirits, and when they got three or four miles they began to expect that every house they came to would be the one that Miss Waldron would stop at. But she diden't stop at any; finally, when they had gone some five or six miles, Miss Waldron said she must have passed the house by some mistake, for they had certainly traveled twice as far as it was from town. But since they had passed it, she would not trouble them to turn back with her, but would go on with Emma to her uncle's, and stop just a minute at her friend's as they came back. There was what you might call a fix, and Em and her beau could do nothing but drive on. So on they drove, and on they drove, but driving on didn't drive their trouble away. At last, when they had gone eight or ten miles, he said that the road must have been changed in some way, for he had undoubtedly gone astray, and as they had gone so far and it was drawing late, they would not hav time to find the right way. So they came back to town, and when Miss Waldron got out of the carriage, she told Em's beau that, when he ascertained how the road had been changed, she would be very happy to go along with Emma any Saturday to spend an afternoon at her uncle's. Since that, we have seen nothing of Em's cousin, but it will be a long time before she hears the last of her visit to her uncle's. S3T A few years ago a talented young man was employed as a senior clerk in a forwarding establishment in this city; great confidence reposed in him, but however strong his principles of integrity may have been, they did not prove sufficient for him to cope successfully against the temptations of a large city he became ensnared in the vices and dissipations of the gaming table; and in order to meet his continual demands for money, drew upon the funds of his employer. It became known, (though not publicly,) and he was discharged. The house failed soon after and his former employer left the city. During the present winter and during these pressing times, this gentleman being on a visit here, was greatly surprised by this same young man handing a bill of deposit on one of the banks, for an amount, which, although it did not cover the figures deducted, was of sufficient magnitude to prove most opportune to his former friend and employer. This he intimated was from his savings, thus giving convincing proof of returning honor redeeming principle. This young man added that those habits of extravagance and high living, which he had carelessly formed upon first entering the city life, had proved almost insurmountable obstacles to accu-

mulatiric anvthinn- together. Thus it is hundreds

of young men are drawn into the mselstrom of destruction unawares. How many clerks on small salaries flitter away the most precious years of manhood. We may venture to say that the young man who dances, dresses, and sings, or wastes in idleness and inactivity the first five or ten years after his minority, seldom if ever makes up in the race the most precious season for laying the loundation ot future prosperity is gone. . "(jo it while your'e young" is too often the language of our Young America; rather let it be, boys and young men, "Make hay while the sun shines;" two dollars of vour slender salleries laid by as part of a foundation will be worth more to you than a hundred earned in after life.: Chicago Press Feb. 23. . A Faithful Girl. A case of woman's devotion has recently been brought to our knowledge which certainly equals anything that we have ever met with in the realms of romance. The circumstances occurred in this city, and are perfectly well authenticated. While the small pox was raging here a few weeks ago, a young man employed in a store on Lake street, was seized with the disease. It was, of course, improper for him to remain there, and the people with whom he lived, who were distant relatives of his, refused to permit him to stay in their house. The result was, that he was taken to the pest house. j It so happened that he was engaged to be mar-; ried to a most estimable and amiable young lady. No sooner did she hear of his condition than she determined at once that she would nurse him. She underwent vaccination, and then went where they had taken her betrothed to the pest-house. Here she found him, alone, sick, wretched, deserted by all the world. And here she remained,: like a ministering angel, waiting beside his bed of; pain, soothing his distresses and attending to his ; wants.' He died. But how consoling must have been his last moments. Though all the world had forsaken him, she, whom he loved bettter than all the world, remained faithful to the last. Her hand it was that , smoothed his pillows; her eyes still beamed upon him with mournful but unabated affection: into her ear he poured his last words of love, of sor-1 row, and of hopes thaLin this world might never be fulfilled. ' ' . " ' ! It recalled to our mind, when we heard it, the words that Bulwer puts in the mouth of one of his characters: "To be watched and tended by 1 the one we love, who would not walk .blind and barefoot over . the world." Chicago Tribune, March 6. ' - . How He Became - a Millionaire. Mr. McDonough, the millionaire of New Orleans, has engraved upon his tomb a series of maxims, which he had prescribed as the rules for his 1 guidance through life, and to which his success in business is mainly attributable. They are sound, and contain much practical wisdom: "Rules for tlie guidance of my life, 1804. Remember always that labor is one; of the conditions of our existence. Time is gold; throw not one minute away, but place each one to account. Do unto all men as you would be done by. Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day. Never bid another do what you can do yourself. Never covet what is not your own. Never think any matter so trifling as not to deserve notice. Never give out that which does not first come in. Never spend but to produce. Let. the greatest order regulate the transactions of your lite. Study in your course of life to do the greatest amount of good . , . . . '. "Deprive yourself of nothing necessary to your comfort, buftive in an honorable simplicity and frugality. Labor, then, to the last moment of your existence. rursue strictly the above rules, and the Divine blessing and riches of every kind will flow upon you to your heart's content; but, first of all, remember that ' the chief and great study of our life should be to tend, by all means in bur power, to the honor and glory of our Divine Creator. - John McDonough, New Orleans, March 2d, "1804. ...The conclusion to which I have arrived is, that without temperance, there is no health; without virtue, no order; without religion, no happiness; and that the aim of our being is to live wisely, soberly and righteously.".', , , '. , ' Beans for Soup. The use of beans as an article of food, is not so considerable as it should be. Beans are the most nutritious of all kinds of food used by man.:- Chemical analysis, and the experience of those who make extensive use of 'them, demonstrate this. To make good bean soup, take one quart of white beans and a shank beef bone and boil all together for two hours, then add salt and pepper for seasoning. The use of bones is not so much esteemed as they should be in food. By boiling them in soup some of the phosphate of lime, which goes to form our bones, is taken up, and we thus get a-supply of a necessary element for our bodies which cannot be obtained so fully from roasted or fried meat.
