VOLUME X---NUMBER 1 09, WILMINGTON, N. C TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBEK 27, 1855. WHOLE NUMBER 1209 MISCELLANY. - 1 DID NOT TANK OF THAT. ' One clay, as Mr. Lawson, a merchant tailorj stood at his cutting board, a poor ly dressed womai entered his shop, and approaching him, asked; with some em barrassment and timidity, if he had any work to give out. " ; -What can you do V": asked the tailor looking father coldly ujxn his visitor. T'can-f make pantaloo:is and vests," replied the girl. ' . HaVe"you ever worked for a nrier bhant tailor?" . - fcYe9 sir," - f . have worked for Mr. Wright.".,,. . "Has lie nothing (or you to do.?? , "NoJ not just nou'v Hcs has tegular hands, -who always get the pei ferenc." Did yonr work suit him ? Hie never found fault with it." "Where do you livi?; "In Cherry street, at No. ." uMr. 1awson stood and mused for a short time- -I have a vest here,1 he at length said, taking a small" bundle from the self, "which I want by . to-morrow evehing-at the latest. If you think you can do it very neatly, and have it done in time, you can take it.1' , "It shall be done4n time," said the young woman, reaching out eagerly for theXuudle. "And - remember,' I shall expect it made well. Ill like you - work I will give you more." "I will try o please . you," returned the young girl. ' . 'To-morrow evening, recollect." "Yes sir, I will have it done." .The girl turned and went quickly away.- In a back room, m the third story of-an old house in Cherry street, Was the home of the poor sewing girl. As she entered, she said iti a cheerful voice to her sick sister "Mary, I have got work ; it is a vest, And I must have it done by to-morrow evening." "Can you finish it id timo?" inquired the invalid in a feeble voice. "Oh yes, easily." - It proved to be a white Marseilles. As soon 'as the invalid sister saw this, she said, 4il am afraid you will not be able to get it done in time Ellen. You are not very fast with the needle, and besides, you are very far from being well.".. "Don't tear to the least, fliary ; l win do all I engaged to do." p ' It was after dark the next night when Ellen finished the garment. She was weary'and faint, having taken no food since inbrning. The want of - every thing, and particularly for herself and sister, made seventyifive cents, the sum which she expected tp receive for ma king the garment, a treasure in her im agination. She hurried ofl with the vest the moment rt was finished, say ing to her sister, "lwili be bapk as soon as possible, and bringyou some cordial and something for our supper and break fast." - : . "Here it is half-past eight o'clock, and the vest is not yet in,'? said" Sir. Law son, in a fretlul tone. "I had my doubts about the girl when I, gave it to her. But she looked so poor, and seemej so earnest about the work that I was weak euougii to entrust her with the-garment." At this moment Ellen came in and laid the vest on the counter, where Mr. Lawsbh was standing.. She said nothing-, neither did he. Taking the vest, he unfolded it in a maurler which plain ly showed him rut to be in a very pla cid, frame of mind. . - "Goodness !" he" ejaculated, turning over the garment, and looking at the girl. "She shrunk back from the counter and looked frightened. , , , !VVell, this is a pretty job for one to bring-in V said the tailor in an excited tone of voice ; "pretty Job indeed at the same time tossing the yet away umu imu u y vw"itiuj iiv. jngon to anotner pan 01 me store. n . Ellen remained at the -counter. ATI length he said to her, "You need not stand there, Miss, thinking I am going to pay you for mining a job.' - It is bad enough to lose my material and "customer.- In justice you shoujd pay me for the vest i but there is no hope for that; so take yourself off; and never let nie set eyes on you a"gin." '"" .Elieu make" no reply; she turned roundf raised her hand to her forehead, and, bursting into tears, walked slowly After Ellen had gone, Mr. Lawson returned to the tront part ot tne store, and taking up the vest brought it back to. where an elderly man was sitting, and holding it towards hint; said, by way of apology for the part he had ta ken in-the little scene, "That is a beau tiful article for a gentleman to wear, isn't it ?" The man made no reply, and the tailor, after a pause, added, "I refused to pay her as,a. matter of princi ple. She knew she could not make the garment when she took it away She will be more careful how she tries to impose herself upon customer tailors .t as a goou vest maker." , , j , j ajuuu way, "necessity drove her to under take a job that required ' greater skill than she possessed. She certainly looked vert poor." "It was because she appeared so poor .na miserable mat J. was weak enough to place tho. vest in her hands," replied Jit. Lawson m a less severe tone of ' voice. "Bat it was an- imposition for her to ask for work she did not know how to make. . "Mr. Lawson," said the old gentle man, who was' known as a ' pious and good man, "we should not blame with too much severity the peisons who, in extreme want, undertakes to perform a piece of work for which she tacks the skill, The fact that a young :- girl, like the one who was just here, is willing, in her extreme poverty, to labor instead of sinking into vice and idleness, shows her to possess true virtue and integrity of character and that we should be willing to encourage, even at a sacri fice.; Work is slack now, as ycu are aware, and there is but tittle couU that she had been to many places seeking employment bc&ie, tycaiiJu you.- It may be that she and others are depen dent upon the recept of the money that was excepted to be paid for making die vest you hold in your hand. The ex pression as she turned away, her linger ing steps, her drooping form, and her whole demeanor, had in them a lan guage which told me of all this, and even more." , . Achange came over the tailor's coun tenance. I didn't think of that," fell in a low tone from his lips. "I did not think you did, brother Law son," said his monitor; "we are all more apt to think of ourselves than other. The girl promised the vest -this evening; 'and so far as that was concerned, she perform ed her contract. Is the vest made very bad I j?" Mr. Lawson took up the jrarment and examined it more closely. "Well, 1 can't say that it is badly done. But it is dread fully soiled and rumpled ; find it not as neat a job as it should be, nor at all such as 1 wished it." "All" this is very annoying, of course; but still, we should be willing to make some excuse for the short-coming of others. The poor girl may have a sick mother or sister to attend to, which constantly inter rupted her, and under suctf circumstances, you coult' hardly wonder if the garment should come somewhat soiled from under her hands. All this may be the case; and if so you could not find it in your heart to speak unkindly to the poor creature, much less turn her a way angrily, and without the money she -has toiled for so earnestly-" r "V1' ' ' "I didn't think of that," was again mur mured in a low suppressed tone of voice. Ellen, on returning home, entered the room and without utlcring a word threw herself upon the bed by tho side of her sick sister, ana. burying her facje-ina pillow, en deavored to smother .lire, sobs that, came up convulsively from her bosom. Mary asked no. questions. Shex under tood the cause of Ellen's ngiiatidh. It told her that she hud been disappointed in her expectation of receiving the money for the work. Just at that moment there was a-nocc at the door, but no voice bade the applicant tor admission, enter. It was repeated, but it met with no respone. Then the latch was lifted, the door swunr open, and the tailor stepped into the room. The sound of feet aroused the distressed sisters, and Ellen raised herself up, ar.d looked at Mr. Lawson, with a countenance suffused with tears. "I felt that I did wrong in speaking to you in the way that 1 did," said Mr. Law son, .advancing towards the bed, and hold ing out to Ellen the money she had earn ed, i "Here u the price the of vest. It was better made than I first thought il whs. To-morrow I will send you more work. -Try to cheer up." ' Mr. Lawson, finding that his presence was embarrassing, withdrew, leaving the two sisters so doc-ply affected that they could but look at him with thankfulness. Shortly after they received a basKet, in which was a supply of nourishing food, and a sum of money to procure such , ajrticles as might be necessary lor the sick sister. Though no one's name was sent with it, they were not in any doubt as to the indi vidual ivhosent.it. Mr. Lawson was not an unfeeling man, but like too many oth ers; in the world, he dii not .always THINK. ' " ' " ' -.'."', ' VlLL.IBLfc. ablbAliCib k IECII1MCAL WOSKS !

A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary ol pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of .his painful disease, it too often happens that opill-lim-ed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, Irum- education and respectability, tan alone befriend him, delay ing till the comrrf utional ysmptoins of this hvrrid disense make their appearance, such s ulcemted sore throat, diseased nose, noctural pains in the head and limbs, dimness of tiuht, deulnese. nodes oh the shin bones and arms, blotches 011 the head, lace and extremities, progress on with iriphilul ra pidity, till at lust the palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose tall in. and the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object ofcommis scr.ition.till death puts a period to. his dreadful suf- lcrings, by sending lijtn to " that bouine from wlicnce no traveller rrtnrns."
