An object of real charity," said Andrew Lyon to his wife, as a poor woman withdrew from tha room in which they were seated. . ?fK ' If there ever was a worthy object, she one, returned Mrs. Lyon. . A widow with healti so fee ble that extraordinary exertion is too much for her yet obliged to support, with the labor ot her own hands, not only herself, but three younsf children. I do not wonder that she is behind with her reit. . Nor I," said Mr. Lyon, in a voice of synpathy. How much did she say was due to her landordli Ten dollars." . - She wi not be able to pay it.

If i didn't find it so hard to make both , ends Bust, I would pay off her arrears of rent tor her, and feel hap py in so doing." , ., v 1- Ah !" exclaimed the kind-hearted, wife,J"bow much I wish that, we were able to to do thiu.f But, we are not." " I'll tell you what we can do," said Mr. Ljon, in a cheerful voice "or, rather what I can do. It will be a very- light matter for, say ten persons, to .give a dollar a-piece, in order to relieve Mrs. Arnold from her present trouble. There' are plenty who woald cheerfully contribute for this good purpose . all that is wanted is some one to- take npon himself " the business of making the. collections. That task shall be mine." . ' " How glad I am, James, to hear you say so," smil ingly replied Mrs. Lyon. "Oh! what a relief it will be to'poor Mrs. Arnold. It will make her heart as light as a feather. That rent has troubled her sadly. Old Links, her landlord, has been worrying her about it a good deal, and only a week a?o threatened to but her.thingsin the street if she didn't pay up." "I should havethoaght of this before," remarked Andrew Lyon. " There are hundreds of people who are willing enough to give if they were only certain in regard to the object. Here is one worthy enocga in every way. Be it my business' to present her claims to benevolent consideration. Let me see. To whom shall I go ? -There are Jones, Green, and Tompkins. 1 can get a dollar from each of them. That will be three dollars, and one from myself, will make four. Who else is there 1 Oh! Mal colm ! I'm sore of a dollar from him ; and, also, frtm Smith, Todd, and Perry." i - ' ' Confident in the success of his benevolent 9chete Mr. Lyon started forth early on the very next dar, for the purpose of obtaining by subscription, tie poor widow's rent. The first person he called ka was Malcolm. " ''Ah, friend Lyon," said Malcolm, smiling bland ly. "Good morning! What can 1 do for v on to day." "Nothing forme, but something for a poor wido who is behind with her rent," replied Andrew Lyoi " I just want one dollar from you, and as much mo; from some eight or nine as benevolent as yourself.' 'At tha word poor Widow, the countenance of MaU colm fell, and when his visiter ceased, .he replied iq a changed and husky voice, clearing his throat .two or three times as he spoke. ' Are you sure she is deserving, Mr. Lyon!" The man's manner had become exceedingly grave, i 'None more so," waathe prompt answer. Sfee is1 in poor health, and has three children to support with the product ot her needle. If any one need assistance it is Mrs. Arnold." " Oh ! an !

At lenirth he took therefrom a dollar bill, and said, as be terfc sented it to Lyon sighing, involuntarily, as he did - " I sopnose I must do my part. But, we are call d apon so often." sf The ardor of Andrew Lton'i benvnlnt fv.... uddenly cooled at this unexpected reception. He had ntered upon his work uuder the glow of a pure ' enthusiasm ; anticipating a hearty Tesponse the mo ' tnent his errand was made known. . . I . "I thank yon lq thewidow's oame,"id he, as he took the dollar. When he turned from Mr. Mal colm's store, Jt was with a pressure on his feelings as if he had asked the coldly giTen favor for himself It tvaa not without en efforvt Lyon compelled' 'himself to call upon Mr. Green, considered the 'next best man' on his list. , But he entered his place of business with far less confidence than he had felt when calling upon Malcolna. ' His story told, fereen without a jwordj or -smile," drew two half dollars from his pocket, and presented them. Thank -you," said Lyon. , ; . . . X.

V: - . " , ; "Just as you feel about it," said Andrew Lyon".' "There's ho compulsion in 'the matter." '-' ' No, I presume not," was rather coldly replied. Lyon retained to his shop, still more disheartened than before, . He bad undertaken a thankless office. ..Nearly two hours elapsed before his resolution to persevere in the good work he had begun came back with sufficient force to prompt to another effort. ' Then he dropt in upon his neighbor Tompkins, to w bom he made known his errand. : . ; , " Why yes, I suppose,! must do something in a case like this," said Tompkins, " with the tone and air of a wian who was cornered. ' Boythere are so many calls fox charity, that we are naturally enough led to hold on pretty ..tightly ;to our purse strings; Poor woman ! I leeJ sorry for her.. How much do you want!" - - " I am trying to get ten persons, including myself, to give a dollar each.'' . .. . . . , , " Well, here's my dollar." And Tompkins fore; ed a smile to his face, as he handed over his con tribution, but the smile did not conceal an expres sion which said very plainly - ; i " I hope you will not trouble me again in this way." ; ., ... .. . - : You mav be sure I will not,' muttered Lyon,' as he went away. ' He fully understood the meaning; 6f the expression. ' ;- ' ; ; ! ' : Only one more application- did the kind-hearted man make.'. It was successful ; but, there was some thing in the manner of the individual who gave his dollar, that Lyon felt as a rebuke. - "And poor Mrs. AraoM did not get tnewnoie of her arrears of rent paid, off," says some one who has felt an interest in her favor. ' ' .. Oh, yes she did. JVIr. Lyon begged five dollars, and added five from his own Slender purse. "Birt, he cannot be induced again to undertake the thankless office of seeking jelief from th benevolent for -a iel low creature in need . He has learned that a great many who refuse alms on the plea that the object pre sented is not worthy,' are but little more inclined to charitable eds, when On this point there is no qaestion. . ' ' " ' Haw many who read thia can sympathise with An drew Lyon. Few men who have hearts lo reel For others but "have been impelled, at some time in their lives, to seek "aid for a fellow creature in need. That their office was a thankless 'one, they have too soon become aware1. Even those who responded to their call most liberally, in too many instances gave in a way that left an unpleasant impression behind. How quickly has the first glow of gefierous feeling, -that sought to extend itself to others, that they might share -the pleasure of humanity, been chilled ; and instead of finding the tasK an easy one, n nas provea to be hard, and, too often humiliating ! Alas, that tins should b 1 ' That men should shut tneir hearts so instinctively at the voice of charity. , : We have not written this t to discourage active ef-j forts in the benevolent; -but. to bold' up a mifror in which another class may fee themselves. 'At best, the office "of him who' seeks of his fellow men aid for the suffering indigent,' js an unpleasant one. , It is all sacrifice on his part, and Abe least that can be done is to honor his" disinterested regard for others in distress, and treat him with delicacy and considera tion ' '- : " - .; ": ' I - Village Aristocracy. .

The progress of Southern manufactures hat gone on with but little noise, but still 6teadily and rapidly. It is estimated that,tbere are .175,000 spindles now running in the cotton States,"' requiring not lftss 'than 100,000bales, or about one-fourth of the consumption of New England. - In; 1847, 4he four State of ,Ten . nessee, .Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia, had 93 factories which" number has been much increased within the present year. Taking all the Southern States into account, North Carolina having 20 manu factories, and Virginia, Florida an4 Mississippi each a small number, the sum total may reasonably be put down at froro 140 to 150. ' '' . ' r . is a gratifying fact," that among all the Southern States, Georgia stands foremost in the number of cot ton manufacturing establishments. . . Within a. few, years, more than 40 factories have been erected with in her borders, at a cost of one million and a half sf dollars. - About fifty thousand bales are now annually consumed in these establishments, affording profitable employment t a large number of industrious opera tives. ..The manufactories, most of them experiments, and built at greater expense tlian will hereafter be the case, are found to be exceedingly profitable the div idends in most instances, being from twenty to thirty percent."""
