C, THURSDAY MbRNING, JANUARY 19, 1854r WHOLE NUMBER 1090. c - J - SEWING SOCIETIES VS. BENEVOLENCE. BT A LADY OP BALTIMORE. Mrs. El ha and Mrs. Nosr;nt had been pay inff a vUil to Mr. Barttr, the new mhnsieH xvile, aa she was termed. As they were about leuvinjr. Mrs. Ellis remarked I suppose, Mr. Barker, we shall see you ftt our sewins; poeiety. to-morrow afterniton. It mret at my house." "I rather think not," was Mrs. Barker "e.y. o!" ejiicul-ited both the Indies at once. 'Yu will be rxm-clt-d there," coutinuf-d Mrs. Nujffiii." A jrreat many were diap- fMunied because you were not at our lai one, and some. I must add, were not a little Jis(ileased at it; hut I plead lor you, assuring thfiii that probably uu dtd not exactly nn derlaiii its object." SI am S'rry to disappninl or displease nn ofmv friends." r-plid Mrs. Brtrker, "yet I caittiot conscientiously take part in a sewti SOCI"'t . aYou cannot am! ivhy no! V a iked Mrs. 'Surely, our pastor's wife ourhi to set us an example in this rrspvci. She shoold be th? last to object to eng-aging in works of benevolence." In thoe that are really such, Mrs. Ellis; but to injure one portion of our IrHow crea tures for the sake of benefiting others, can hardly be trrmed benevolence." I should like you to show me how sewing -societies can injure any one remario-d Mrs. Nugent. "I always thought them a great benefit." 'I thoDght so too. once my dear friends but recent observations and reflection have led me to think difTt-rcmly. The object ol your society. I believe, is to pay otf the church debt, ii k not ?" "It is," replied Mrs. Ellis.'and in this way many persons are enabled to help us that otherwise would not. or could not. give us a cant. There's Anna Howell, for instance; last month she embroidered us two beautiful little dresses each ol them sold for two dol lar and a half the m tteriala for both cost, I believe, about three dollars; so it was equal to her giving as two dollars." uSle is a dress-maker, and has generally, .T believe, as much work as she can do, and 1 suppose, in the time it took her to embroi der those dresses, she could have earned a i much, if not more, at her recular work. Would it not have been just as easy, then, for her ts have given you two dollars in mon ey, ns in the wiy she did ?" "But she would never have given it in money. To tell the truth. I do not suppose she could afford it, for she has her mother and a little sinter to do for, arid I guess they -need all she earns." "With such persons, Mrs. Eilis. time is rmoney." "Oh! ye9; but then she did thse 'between 'times, as we say." 'When she needed rest and recreation for her exhausted lram'. no doubt. But who purchased these little dresses?" "'Mrs. English, the banker's wife; t'e wealthiest and I believe, at the same time, the meanest woman in the city. We have asked her sever.il times to give us something for our church, but she has invariably refused us. Any little lancy articles, hovvevor, that we have for sale, and that she wants, she will take. It was to reach such people th l we started our sewing society. There, you see. is where we hare the advantage. Sure Jy, their purchasing such things cannot in the least injure the poor !" I am not so ure of that, Mrs. Nugent. Do you suppose Mrs. English would have bonght th -se dresses, or have had them aaade. if she had not got them from you 7" -'Oh! yes; she was just going out to get the materials lor them, as we called -Who do you suppose would have made them The entrance of another visiter prevented a reply to this Question. The person who entered was Mrs. Toyville. the senior dea von s wile, a ladv who was universally es teemed lor her piety and benevolence, but who, like Mrs. Barker, had very little faith in the usefulness of fairs, sewing societies, and all similar projects of benevolence. As Mrs. Toyville seated herself in the chair tendered to her by Mrs. Barker, M s Ellis and Mrs. -Nugent cast knowing glances at each other, which seemed to say. 4-Ah ! we know now liow to account for Mrs. Barker's prejudices." But in this they were mistaken; the two Jadi s had never conversed together upon the Rubject. It was not long before Mrs. Ellis and Mrs. Nugent rose to depart, but Mrs. Toy ville detained them, saying tbat he had that morning received applications for pecuniary assistance from two or three of "the poorer members of the church, whom she was about to visit, and would bn much plea ad for them to accompany her; Mrs. Barker, too, if she could. Mrs. Btrker was obliged to decline going having home duties to at tend to thai ought not to be neglected. Min sters' wives sometime! have home duties as well as other people. Mrs Ellis and Mrs. Nugent, who were known as very benevo lent lalies. at once expressed their willing ness to accompany Mrs. Toy ville in. her er rand of mercy. Ten minutes' walk through narrow lanes and alleys bro lght them to u small frame house, the situation ol which was anything but plesant. The knock at tht door was answered by a pale, sickly-looking little girl, about eight years old. - Iyour mother in. my dear?" inquired Mrs. Toyville. ' Yes. ma'am, but phs's sick in bed." re plied the child. "Please walk in ladies." -Ah ! Mrs. Toyville." exclaimed the sick woman, ' how glad 1 am 10 see you ; and you. too. ladies," turning to M. Ellis and Mrs Nugent. - It was a long while, Mrs. Toyville. before I could make op my mind to S4nf for you ; but I could not bear to see m J children starve." 'How long have y.on been siekt Mrs. L) fln 7n asked the deacon's wife. A reek to-day." TThn why did you not let roe know be fnT We, who have an abundance"' this irnods, esteem it a privilege to ad- minitrter to the wants of ntners.

' ' rfow eoqld I help if, ma'am 1 My chil- dren mufi l ave bread ; and ever since that sewing society has been started up at the church, my work has gradually decreased. I did not mind it so much, though, aa long aa I kept Mrs. English's work, for that was worth as much to me as all the rest put to- geiher. There was never a week hut I had embroidery or something of the kind to do mr ner; out now she frets evervimriff oi uje kind from the sewitic society, anil 1 am nhli ed to take hold of the first thing that offers." Mrs Ellis said no more, but both she and Mrs. Nugent appeared rather restless whilst listening to the further inquiries made by Mrs. Toyville, whom they permitted to make what arrangements she thought best in ref erence to the poor woman and her children. Anna Howell sent for me this morning." said Mrs. Toyville, soon alter they left the humble abode of Mrs. Lynn. "She is very ill. She does not live lar from here, so we might as well rail there next." Jo objection was made, if any was felt, to this. Mrs. Howell, a frail, weak woman of about sixty, met them at the door of her dwelling. ' How is Anna V kindly inquired Mrs Toyville. ' Ilaiher belter, lliank you, but still very weak. The doctor says, if she slicks as close to her needle as he has done, before this time next year site will he in her grave." 1 I)'rs he think her lungs are affected ?" ' He d c6n'i eay. but I'm inclined to think they re.

Yu see she undertook to do some fine work for 'he sowing society, and as she couldn't spare the time through the day. she was obliged to do it night. 1 wire she sat Uf. all flight to work on it ; and it was more than she could bear, Ibr site has been com plaining ever since I told her the lailie wouldn't want her to work that way for tllem,n 'O'course not,'' replied Airs. Nugent, wlni now begun t i see how sewing societies could injure any one. "ol course not; we would rather have done without the work. I she confined to her bed ?" ' Oh ! la. yes. She has not been able to set up for nearly a week. But walk up anil see ner latiies. ishe his been looking lor you. Mrs. loyvtlle, all the morning" ll is unnecessary for us to pursue this lit tie sketch any f.trther. It is so phiin ilintul who can read can understand. We will on ly add that When Mrs Ellis and Mrs. Nu gent left the bed side of Anna Hjweil. the confidence in sewing societies was a good deal suaken.

If this medicine was more generally used, we are satisfied there would be less sickness, as from the stomach, liver and nervous system, the great major ity of real and imaginary deseases emanate.

We Vinve just heard of an awful trans action, perpetrated in this city, which sa tisfies us that there are as mnny "bad younp caen" in our city as there were years ago. Mr. , the pastor of one of our Alrican churches, is celebrated for tho fiery qualities of his pulpit eloquence. -Three rowdyish young gentlemen had somctimesicrept into the gallery of the sanctuary fwbjere Mr. officiates, for the naughty purpose of amusing them selves with the devotional exercises of tho colored minister and his congregation. Observing that the zealous preacher dwelt very much in pj-rotechnic illustialions, these wicked youths dercrmincd to give the audience something practical in the same way ; and, with this intention, they procured the handle of a tin laMe, the hol low of which they filled with "wildfire," a preparation; made by -mixing gunpowder and wafer,Jlhen drying it sufficiently to admit ignition. The trio, provided with this diabolical contrivance, took their cus tomary position in a corner of the gallery npar the pulpit, and waited for a favora ble opportunity to illustrate the sermon with a blazing exhibition. That opportu nity was sVon offered them. The speaker had just commenced a sentence with, "Spozen de devil was to 'pear now mongFt you wicked niggers with a blaze of fire wrapped round htm jes like a cloak ?" when the youngf. sinners touched off their fireworks with a friction match, and direc ted the muzzle of the tubo 'towards the preacher's desk. Instantly a terrific crepi tation was bearJ, and the whole pulpit was enveloped in a dense cloud of moke, re lieved by a shower of sparks aod a lurid glare of blue fire that Would have estab lished the reputation of a new pantomime. The congregation, with wild shrieks and exclamations of "De debil has come for sartin!" &c, rushed towards the door; but in that trying moment, the appearance of the preacher himself indeed was a spec tacle of moral sublimity. His shining black face nppeared with undisturbed se renity amidst the gleaming horrors of his "sulphurous canopy," 'as he shouted out, "Blaze away, Satan! blaze nwayl you can't sile dis chicken, no how you can fix it!"
