Matches t A HEW YORK 8TOIIT. Blacking ! blacking ! matches !' cried a Utile dirt-beffrimme 1 imp, popping hw head in aa he opened the door of the reading-room of the Universe Hotel ; and as, whenever the tympanum is touched by the above sounds, there is a sympathetic cord acting Lke a bell-pull upon the ejaculato ry organs, which forces them to say no, a chorns around sang out unisono. and with a precision our drilled and paid choruses at the Opera have never attained yet : 'No, we don't want any.' Mr Jerome Green, nn easy, good-natured gentleman, who was in town for the holidays, was resting in an arm-cbair, mnking use, however, of only its two hinder legs, his own feet being propped upon the windowsill, and sung out with the rest : ' No, I do not want any-' The little fellow, who had an intelligent but melancholy face, was'' just going lo withdraw himself from the gorgeously -decorated room, when Mr. Green, happening to turn his face lo the door, caught sight of a muddy little foot, quite blue with the pinching cold that is to say, that part of it which was not black "with incrustations and recollecting that he had actually been annoyed during the past week by the want of a match in his bedroom, cried : 'Halloo! I do want some matches, though, little shavec,: how do you sell them V Eighteen-pence a dozen,' was the ready reply ; ' and they don't smell.' Don't they V said Mr. Green, and thought to himself 'that is more than I can say of -you, my young frienl but he kept the thought lo himself, being rather ec centric, and not wishing to h irt the match boy's feelings. All this time Mr. Green had held the bundle of boxes pensively in his hand, as if he thought to get at their intrinsic" value by weighing them. ' tlighteen-pence a dozen, and they don't smell.1 repealed the boy, blowing his little chilled hands. Still Mr. Green did not speak, for his mind was far away m some hypothetical match-factory, calculating the imaginary wages somebody must get for making matches to sell at eighteen-pence a dozen, and not smell. 4 Warranted to keep and burn freely,' broke in the boy, who put his best foot for w.-trd, beginning to think "his chance of a sale growing slim. But I do not want a dozen,' our gen tleman said, rousing himself: ' I am sure half the quantity is enough to set me on fire a dozen times. Give me a couple of boxes here is sixpence for you ; and ten dering the boy - a shilling, asked for the change. The boy's countenance, which had be-gun-to brighten, fell again ; he .had do j change, he had not sold anythfhg that morning. Nver mind,' said easy Mr. Green ; 'you can bring it me to-morrow ; you will find me here at about this hour. What is your name V The boy told him Peter, depaning joy fully with professions of promptitude ; and Mr. Green got up to saunter away, when his friend Smart, who had keen a silent spectator of the scene, left off contemplat ing nis boot tips, and called after him; 'I say, Jerry, what made rou give that boy a shilling for two boxes? They arc dear enough at sixpence 4 1 rave him only sixpence,' replied our easy friend : 'he is to bring the change to morrow.' - 'Surely you do not expect to see that boy again V 1 positively do,' was the quiet reply. ' I bet you a hat you don't.' ' Done 1' and, 'done !' followed in quick succession; and the friends parted. We were standing that afternoon at the corner of X street, with the same feelings of forlornness that take hold of some un fortunate overland pilgrim to California when he comes to a rapid stream, the Mor mons in possession of the ferry, the fire usked five dollars, and 'he gerulerrmn hav ing spent his last effigy of our glorious eagle done in gold at the ferry of the day previous : or with the feelings of a very young man at a piny, who stands in a knot of other very young men. and is dy ing to go up to that splendid girl Miss Pea cock ; only Miss Peacock sits at the other end of the room, and the very young man would have to traverse a howling desert to pet her, which he diire not do fur his life There we stood, staring across impassable Broadway, with a number of other indi viduals, whose breasts were filled with the same wishes which agitated our own. We all wanted to cross Broadway, and accu mulate as little mud and break as few ribs as possible. On the other shore stood our counterparts, lifting their umbrellas to heav en, and presenting a true picture of life : they would have given anything to srand wh: re we stood, and we as eager. y desir ed to be where they were. All in vain. Kipp & Brown, Broadway and 49th street, Thompkins square and Union square, names of omnibus lines in New York.) all rolled by like the roaring and relentless waves of the sea ; coming up to scatter in different directions upon -the shores of up town, and rolling down again to be rumt ed ia the bosom of South ferry, (the lower end of" Broadway, towards the bay.) But trere is a sudden lull, and everybody look, at his or her neighbor, ns if to say : ' Now then!' Everybody does ft ; everybody gets across Did' we say everybody got safely across ? We are safely ashore on the side walk, and look around. No; everybody haft not got across safely. Looking only at the big ships, the omnibuses, a poor little mate h-boy has neglected to dodge the schooners and sloops of this perilous ele. menly and has been run over by a butcher's cart, and hts modest wares scattered all .over the StreeW. . The driver swears awful 5y, nd go on i crowd assembles; a ropassionale working-man lifts the poor boy tip, and carries hirn to the;iiext drug, store.. (We, with some other-, gentlemen, would have been glad todolt, but could oo( pa.&ccouBt ol out 'clothes.) ,;Tfce;dpor closes ; the crowd flattens its noses against the window; we cannot get in to help; we have not the time to wait, for the prin ter's devil is after us ; so we wend our way down town, thinking, poor, poor little fel low i The following morning found Mr. Green in the same place and position we have des cribed in the beginning ; and being intent ly engaged upon the Tribune, he did not observe a -ery small boy, a very speck of a boy, eyeing him wistfully, evidently try ing to attract his attention ; but in vain, for he vas so small. At last, the miniature edition of humanity made such a discord ant noise with the creaking door, that somebody ordered him, in a stern voice, 'to cleai out,' when Mr. Green, thinking vague ly he had seen him before, beckoned to the child : for a child it was, such as ought to have been in a nursery, under thtf guardian care of a mother. What need to describe him? Was h not the reduced effigy of our"frierrf PefttT The same blue toes, the j-fen&e blue hands, and the same intelligent honest looking eyes. But, alas ! such wo looking out of a thin little face, on which tears had made channels in the incrusta tions. Mr. Green was making up his mind, to save further trouble, that the appa rition before him must be the same Peter from whom he had bought the matches the day previous, who had shrunk and dwind led overnight possibly from cold, prwbably from hunger and who had now come back to bring the change. But this idea struck him as too absurd ; for how could such a Tom Thumb sell anything, and where was his basket ? While these re flections passed vaguely across the mirror of Mr. Green's mind, Peter junior had been diving diligently into the recesses of his garments, and finally, after sundry attempts brought out of the side pocket of his jack et, which was on a level with his calf, three distinct copper coins, which he tendered to Mr. Green. 'Is you the gemman what Peier owes sixpence to? 'Yes, my lad ; lam the man,' was the reply. 'Peter hasn't got sixpence Peter's gone and was run over by a buss and lost his basket, and his cap and broke his leg. and broke his arm; and Peter :is so-o-o-o-o ill" (here the child broke out into an uncontrol lable fit of crying ;) 'and three cents is all he's got.' 'The deuce !' exclaimed Mr. Green.jum ping up; 'where do you live?' 'Little Rum street, Mud alley,' sobbed the child. 'Come along, then,' and not wailing to hear Mr. Smart's sneer of 'A very likely story, my verdant friend,' he was out of the room, had called a carriage, and was on his charitable mission with little Joe by the time Mr. Smart had finished his sentence. The carriage stopped before one of those archwaya'afottiiduijr- hi Ahat pail of our city", always denoting filth, drunkenness, and abject poverty. The child led the way up t alley, ascended a few broken steps, f met. iiloorless hall, passed through it to thtrrd, and descending into what ap peared to be only a hole, but which had, on nearer inspection, some steps, opened the door of a low dark cellar. When Mr. Green's eyes had become accustomed to the darkness, which a tallow candle stuck in a bottle, just made visible, he saw in a corner, stretched upon a straw mattrass, his little acquaintance of yesterday; but oh! how changed : the pinched face nearly liv id, with here and there a bit of a lock of hair glued to it by the cold perspiration ; i he little body with its bandaged limbs, motionless, and a low groan now and then all the evidence of life. The furniture of i his abode of human beings consisted of a broken table and a three-legged stool. Upon the latter sat a poor woman rocking herself to andTro with the peculiar motion of grief. She was a neighbor, she said, poor enough herself, the lord knew. The parents of the children had come out a yeur ago from the olu country, poor decent people, will) three little ones, and fine chil dren they were : the mother never got over the ship-fever contracted on the passage, and soon left them for a better place, taking the baby with her, which was a mercy; and after the father, a bard-working, steady man, had been killed by a fall from a buil ding, a neiffhbor proposed to take Peter, sending Joe to Randall's Island, (large farms where the orphans of New York are maintained.) But Peter had refused to leave little Joe, ai?d scraping together a small sum by the sale of their few effects, had bought his humble wares, and man fully, with a big heart in his little body, through cold and heat, through hunger and thirst, pursued his calling, making just enough, with what help the poor neighbors could give, to keep body and soul together. He was a fine lad indeed, a good lad, with sense above his years ; and now it was all over. The doctor good, kind gentleman, he had stayed with him and sent medicine said he could not be moved to the hospi tal, where they ought to hare taken him at first; and, indeed, there was no use in mo ving him, for he was sinking fast since morning. Green had listened in silent hor ror to so much misery so quietly told, and whether it was from the damp cold or the foul stifling atmosphere, he felt too sick at heart to speak. Just then the boy opened his sunken eyes, and our friend bending over him, a flicker of recognition passed over his face. 4l had not got the money. I lost it all,' he muttered painfully, pushing out each word with an effort. Never mind the money, my poor boy,' struggled out Green, something hard and dry in his throat choking him. 'You must get better. I will take care of you and of little Joe, and you shall be cold and hun gry and naked no more ; and you shall get better, if care can do it Alas ! little Pe ter was beyond the neglect of the harden ed and the care of the kind of this world. A smile, stole softly over his features he seemed to comprehend.-: 'Thank you lit tle Joe thank you i had not got the' ' ' . The smile faded, the eyes look ed fixed and glassy i one deeP s'gb follow ed by an , unmistakable s rigraness of fea tures, tojd .that th child't trouhler were over. GreenV fairly barst into tears. He closed the eyes,and stood long and thought fully over the body, then leaving money and directions, he took Joe's hand and iett the place. 'What about the hat?' cried Jim Smart, meeting our friend a few days afterwards at the U.nverse. 'Guess you may give me an order on Genin, (a celebrated ha'ter ;) suppose you!frrirtee your match boy and your sixpence Jsny more.' 'No,' replie Green gravely ; I shall not see the boy any more he lies under the snow in Greenwood, (the' largest cemetery near New York.) His body was wretch ed, miserable, and neglected enough here below ; bot,' he added with emphasis, his little soul is now incense before God Good morning, Mister Smart; I am ieaving town.' CfXSINaSGENE OF LIFE. The last words of Thomas Jefferson Were, 44 1 resign my. soul to ray God, and my Daughter to my Country." John Ad ams, near-his end, roused by the firing of cannon, and being told ihe people were re joTeing for the 4th of sJuly, said : " It is a great and glorious day ' and expired wi:h the words " Independence forever !'' trem bling on his hps. The Commercial Adver tiser slates that when the noise of the firing began at midnigh', the dying Monroe " opened his eyes inquiringly; and when the cause was communicated to him, a look of intelligence indicated that he un derstood what the occasion was." We know not if there be upon record more striking instances than these, of the "ruling passion strong in death." An Italian noble being at church one day, and finding a priest who begged for the souls in purgatory, gave him a piece of gold. 4 Ah, my Lord.' said the good fa ther, ' you have now delivered a soul.' The Count threw upon the plate anotber piece. ' Here is another soul delivered,' said the priest. ' Are you positive of it ?' inquired thf Count ; ' 1 am certain they are now in heaven." "Then," said the Count, suiting the action to the word, "l'ii take back my money, for it signifies nothing to you now, seeing that the souls have already got to heaven, and there can be no danger of their returning to purgatory." A Frenchman, who jiropost'd to ctablisli a chool having heard a hieh school wnuld jv inorv rcspcctablj patronized, took a room in the gar ret of four story house.
