A Good Move.
We see our City Fathers are putting
down a Plank Road for the Mechanics
.Engine House to Broad street, for the
benefit of the members of that spirited
and useful company. The “Mechanic,”
is a heavy first class engine, and man
ned by as steady and clever set of men
as can be started in any city. The
greatest difficulty they have experienced
heretofore in getting their engine to a
fire was the heavy sand from their house
to Broad street. With the assistance of
this plank road this obstacle will be
removed, and with half the force it re
quires now they can get their Merchine
speedily to a fire.

Coisld’nt Come It!
We were much amused yesterday af
ternoon, at agdhtleman and lady pass-!
ing up Broad street through a light!
shower. The Gentleman had an um-|
breila, and the Lady her spreader. He
tried his best to get his spread over her
head to protect a beautiful little bonnet,
but with all his leaning and almost
walking on one foot, he could’nt come
it ; the nighest he could get, was the
rim of the umbrella near her head. We
would advise him the next time he un- j
dertakes to protect a lady in hoops in a j
shower, to hand the protector to her, j
and take the water himself—the um-[
breila was of no earthly use to either j
one on this occasion, and the scene was j
so ludicious that the interested parties
could not keep from laughing them-|
selves.

a lasting favor on Very respect’ly,
Your obedient servant,

A tall lady, dressed in black, stepped
in : “Have you narrow black velvet ?”
ebe inquired in the softest imaginable
tone.
“Yes, ma’am,” said I, handing her
the box.
“What is this by the piece ?”
“Sixty-eight cents, ma’am.”
■ And this?”
“Sixty two cents, ma’am.”
“Where is the difference ?” said she ;
“they are both the same width.”
“ ihero is often a difference in the
cost, when there is none in the width,
but if yi u will observe, madam, the first
is No. S, the last No. 2 1-2.”
“They are too narrow, and won’t do.”
“What next, if you please, ma’am?”
“Embroideiing cotton."
“Any particular number, ma’am ?”
“Well, 1 don’t know exactly. Show
me all you have.”
I commenced at No. one, and opened
every package down to thirteen ; she
examined the quality of all closely,and
after considering awhile, said : “I think
number eight will about be the size.”
I unburied that number and handed
it to her.
“How much is it a hank ?"
“Five cents, ma’am.’
“1’ 1-1 t-a-k-e f-o-u-r. What is the
price, of that black ribbon?” pointing to
a piece in the show case.
“Eighteen cents, ma’am, (han
to her,) there is a heavy piece at thirty

She put them from her withuot a
word and asked for pins. I got three
sizes and opened them out.
' ; nese tie a very inferior articles, no

“We have the English pin, ma’am,”

THIS BEGUAH-A Tittle TALK.
One cold winter morning, the last
Sunday of December, 1819, ahalfnaked
man knocked timidly at the basement
(loot of a fine, substantial mansion, in
. the city of Brooklyn. Though the
i r weatiler was bitter, even for the season,
the young mau bad no clothing but a
pair of ragged cloth pants, and' the re
mains ot a llannel shirt, which exposed
liis muscular chest in many large rents.
But in spite of this tattered apparel,
; and evident fatigue,as he leaned heavily
. upon the railing of the basement stairs,
a critical observer could not fail to no
tice a conscious air of dignity, and the
marked traces of cultivation and re
finement in liis pale, haggard counten
ance.
The door was speedily opened, and
disclosed a large, comfortably-furnished
room, with its glowing grate of an
thracite ; before which was a luxurious
ly-furnished breakfast-table—a fashion
ably-attired young man, in a brocade
dressing-gown and velvet slippers, re
■ dining in a “ faufeual,” busily reading !
the morning papers. The 'beautiful
! young wife had lingered at the table,!
■ giving to the servant in waiting orders 1
, for the household matters of the day,
when the timid rap attracted attention
Shccommanded the door to be opened, j
but the young master of the mansion
| replied that it was quite useless, being
j no one but some thievish beggar ; but
; the door was already open, and the
sympathies of Mrs. Haywood enlisted
! at once
“Come in to the fire,’ cried the
young wife impulsively, “before you
perish.”
The mendicant, without exhibiting
any surprise at such unusual treatment
of a street beggar, slowly entered the
room, manifesting a painful weakness
at every step. On his entrance Mr. Hay
wood with a displeasing air, gathered
| up his papers and left the apartment.—
| The unwise lady placed the half frozen
| man near the fire, while she prepared a
I bowl of fragrant coffee, which, with
j abundant food, was placed before him.
But, noticing the abrupt departure of
her husband, Mrs. Haywood, with a;
clouded countenance left the room,
j whispering to the s rvant to remain un
til the stranger should leave.
She then run hastily up the richly
| mounted stair case, and passed" - before
| the entrance of a small laboratory and
: medical library, occupied solely by
1 her husband, who was a physical die- j
mist. She opened the door and entered j
; the room. Mr. Haywood was sitting at
a small table with his head resting on j
his hands, apparently in deep thought, ]
“ Edward,’ said the young wife, gent- j
ly touching him on his arm, “I fear 1
have displeased you ; hut the man
looking so wretched I could not bear to I
drive him away,’ and her sweet voice
trembled as she added, “You know I
take the sacrament to-day.”
“Dear Mary,’ replied the really fond
husband, ‘ T appreciate your motives. I
know it is pure goodness of heart that
leads you to disobey me, but still I
must insist upon my former command
that no beggar shall ever be permitted
to enter the house. It is for your safety
that I insist upon it. How deeply you
might bo imposed upon in my frequent
absence from homo. I shudder to
think. The man that is mow below may
he but a burglar in disguise, and al
ready in your absence taking impres
sions in wax of the different key holes
in the room, so as to enter some night
at his leisure. Your limited experience
of city life makes it difficult for you to
credit so much depravity. It is no
charity to give to the street beggars, it
only encourages vice, dearest.”
“ It may be so,’ responded Mrs. Hay
wood, but it seemed wicked not to re
lievo suffering and want, even if the
person has behaved badly—and we
know it. But I will promise you not to
ask another into the house.”
At tiiis moment the servant rapped
violently at tile door, crying out the
beggar was dying.
“Come, Edward, skill can save him
i know,” said tne wife hastening from
the room.
The doctor did not refuse this appeal
to his professional vanity, for lie imme
diately followed liis wife’s flying foot
steps as she descended to the basement.
They found the mendicant lying pale
and unconscious upon the carpet where
lie had slipped in iris weakness from
the chair where Mrs. Haywood had seat
ed him.
“He is a handsome fellow,” muttered
the doctor, as lie bent over him to as
certain the state of liis pulse.
And well he might say so. The glos
sy locks of raven hair had fallen away
from a broad wtiite forehead ; his eye
lids were bordered by long raven lashes,
which like a silken fringe upon liis pale
bronzed cheeks, while a delicate acqui
line nose, and a square massive chin,
displayed a model of manly beauty.
“Is lie dead ?” asked the young wife
anxiously.
“Oh, no, it is only a fainting fit, in-j
duced by sudden change of tempera
ture, and perhaps the first stage of star- j
yatian,” replied the doctor, svmpathis- j
ingiy. He had forgotten, for the mo- j
ment, his cold maxims of prudence, |
and added, “He must be carried to a
room without fire, and placed in a com-1
sortable bed.”
The coachman was called in to assist
in lifting the athletic stranger, who was
soon carried to a room in the chambers,
j where the doctor administered with his
j own hand, strong doses of wine sanga
| ree. The young man soon became part
ly conscious, but all conversation was
j forbade him, and lie sunk quietly to I
; sleep.
“ He is doing well— let him rest as
\ long as lie can ; should he awake in my j
j absence, give him beef, tea and toast
i ad libitum,” said the doctor professional
ly, as he left the room,
jao» o o 0
In less than an hour afterwards, Dr.
Haywood and his lovely wife entered j
the gorgeous church of “the most Ho-;'
iy Trinity.”
| Amid the hundreds of fair dames
that entered its portals, dressed with all
taste and magnificence that abundant
wealtli could procure, not one rivaled,
, in grace and beauty, the orphan bride I
of the physician. Her tali graceful fig
ure was robed in a violet silk, that only
heightened, by contrast, her large azure
eyes, bright with the lustre of youth- I
j ful happiness ; yet there was a touch of
! “tender pity” in their drooping lids,
that won the confidence of every he- ,
holder. The snowy ermine mantilla,
which protected her from the piercing
| winds, revealed, but could net surpass
the delicate purity of her somplexion. ’
| Many admiring eyes followed the fault
i less figure of Mrs. Haywood, as she i
: moved, with unconscious grace, up the!
I central aisle of the church, but not one 1 1
! with more heartfelt devotion than the j i
young wayward, but generous man, who j;
; had recently wed her, in spite of her !
poverty and the sneers of his aristocrat
ic acquaintances.
The stately organ had peeled its last
rich notes, which were still faintly echo
ing in the distant arches, when a strati
-1 ger of venerable aspect, who had pre
’ viously taken no part in the services of
i tile altar, rose, and announced for liis
' text the oft-quoted but seldom applied
■ words of the Apostle ; “Be not forget
ful to entertain strangers, for thereby
- some have entertained angels una
wares.’ Dr. Haywood felt tiis forehead
flush painfully ; it appeared to him for
■ the moment that the preacher must
' have known of his want of charity to
■ wards strangers, and wished to give
■ him a public lesson ; but he soon saw
from the tenor of his remarks, that his
l own guilty conscience had alone made !
the application in this particular ease.— j
I have not space nor indeed the power
■ to give any synopsis of the sermon ;!
hut that it, combined with the incident
' of the morning, affected a happy revo
j lution in the mind of at least one of its
j hearers. So much, that on the return
|of Dr. Haywood from church he repair
| ed at once to theroom of the mendicaut
Jto offer such attentions as he might
|stand in need off. But the young man
■ seemed to be much refreshed by rest
laud nutritious food, and commenced
greatly thanking the host for the kind
attention ho had received which, with
out doubt, had saved his life.
! “But I will recompense you well; for
thank God, I am not the beggar that I
seem. I was shipwrecked on Friday
night on the Ocean Wave, on my return
from India. My name was doubtless
among the list of the lost—for I escap
ed from the waves by a miracle. I at
tempted to make my- way to New York |
where I have ample funds in the bank
awaiting my orders. I must Lave per
ished from cold and hunger, had it not
been for you and your wife’s charity.—
I was repulsed from every door as an
imposter, and could get neither food
nor rest. To be an exile from one’s na
tive land ten years, and then, after es
caping from the perils of the ocean, to
] die of hunger in the street of a Chris
tian city, I felt was truly a bitter fate, j
‘ My name is Arthur Willed, added)
tlie stranger.”
“Why,that is my wife’s family name. J
She will be doubtless pleased at her
agency in your recovery.’
“ Os what State is she a native?’ ask- j
ed Arthur Wiliet, eagerly,
j “ I married her in the town of 8., j
where she was born.’
i At this moment Mrs. Haywood enter- j
ed theroom, surprised at the long ab- \
isence of her husband
j Arthur Wiliet gazed at her with a j
look of the wildest surprise, murmur
, >ng:
“It cannot be—it cannot be. lam
delirious to think so.”
Mrs. Haywood, with little less aston
ishment, stood motionless as a sta
tue.
“What painful mystery is this ?”
asked Dr. Haywood, excitedly, addres
sing his wife, who then became con
scious of tlie singularity of her con
duct.
“ Oh, no mystery,’ she replied, sigh
ing deeply, “ only this stranger is the
image of my lost brother Arthur.” And
Mrs. Haywood, overdone with emotion,
turned to leave theroom.
“Stay one moment,’ pleaded tho
stranger, drawing a small mourning
ring from liis finger, and holding it
up, asked if she recognized that rel
ic ?
“ It is my father's gray hair, and you
are”—
His son, Arthur Wiliet, and your
brother.’
Mary Wiliet Haywood fell upon the
mendicant’s breast, weeping tears of
sweetest joy and thanksgiving.
Dr, Haywood retired from the room,
and left sister and brother alone in that
sacred hour of reunion, saying to him
self :
“ Be not forgetful to entertain stran
gers, for thereby some have entertained
angels unawares.”

The W ay to make Poetry.
I Verses on an Old House. — A humor
ous writer in the Yonkers Examiner,
Mr. T. Spoon, publishes the subjoined
rules for tie composition of poetry, with
an exilin')' -of their application:
1. Select your metre This may be
anythin ; you choose, except hexame
ter. Yon would do well to leave that
stumbling cadence to Longfellow and
' Cti"Wee Kingsley.
2. Determine whether your lines Shall
be blank verses or rhymed. The fact;
that John Milton got only fifty dollars
for several thousand lines of very re
spectable blank verse, called “Paradise
Lost,” may assist your choice in this re- j
spect.
'!. Select your subject. This may lie j
serious or comic. Serious poetry will j
endear you to the younger portion of (
the girls : comic poetry will cause you \
| to be considered a desirable person for j
picnic and evening sociables. Either
is therefore desirable,
j 4. By all means have your verses end j
! with a fine moral sentiment, so that the !
reader may esteem himseif a very good j
| person, because he repeats and assents J
j to your moralities.
I As an instance of the application of j
! these verses, the writer offers a versified |
epitaph on an old horse, Charley, writ
ten during a steamboat sail from Fort i
Washington to New York city :
“ Poor Charley !’’ says the writer,
“like Piato, his bones greiv dry when
he reached the age cf twenty eight, and,
attempting one day to kick up his heels !
like a colt, iie broke one of his legs.—
jHe could not commit suicide, as the
I great philosopher did after he broke his j
I finger, and so one of the farmers shot j
I Charley as mildly ns possible.”
Here lies a faithful steed,
; A staunch, ! neompremising 1; silver gray,’’
j Who ran the race of life with sprightly speed,
Yet never ran—away.
Wild oats he never sowed,
Yet masticated tame ones with much zeit :
Cheerful he boro each light alotted load,
As cheerfully took rest.
Bright were his eyes, yet soft.
And in the main his tail was white and flowing,
And though he never sketched a single draught,
He showed great taste lor drawing.
Lithe were his limbs and clean,
Fitted alike for buggy or for dray.
And like Napoleon the Great, I ween,
He bad a martial neigh.
Oft have I watched him grace
His favorite stall, well 1 ttcred. warm and fair.
With such contentment shining from his face, 1
And such a stable air !
With hero and there a speck
Os roan diversifying his broad back,
And martyr like, a halter bound bis neck
Which bound him to the rack.
Mors omnibus ! at length
The hay day of liis life was damped by death, *
.So summoning all his late remaining strength,
He drew—his final breath.

THE LIVER
IN VIGOR ATOR!
PREPARED BY DR. SANFORD’S
COMPOUNDED ENTIRELY FROM
G- U MS,
TS ONE OF THE BEST PURGATIVE
JL and Liver Medicines now before the public
that acts as a CATHARTIC, easier, milder, am
more effectual than any other medicine known
It is not only a Cathartic, but a Liver reme >
acting first on the Liver to eject its morbid mat
ter, then on the stomach and bowels to carry o
that matter, thus accomplishing two purpose
effectually, without any of the painful feeling
experienced in the operations of most Cathartics
It strengthens the system at the same time tliai
it purges it : and when taken daily in inoderat(
doses, will strengthen and build .t up with un
usual rapidity.
The Liver is one of (
the principal regula
tors of tli e human
body, and when it per
forms its f unctions
well, the powers of the '
system are fully de
veloped. The stomach
is almost entirely de
pendent on the healthy
action of the Liver for
tlie proper perform- .
ance of its functions ;
wheu the stomach is 1
at fault, and the whole
system sutlers in con
sequence of one organ
—the Liver, — having
ceased to do its duty. .
For the diseases of that >
organ, one of the pro
prietors has made it
his study, in a prac
tice of more than 2C
years, to 11 id some re
medy wh|erewith to
counteract the mar;y
derangements towhicb
it is liable
| To prove that this
iremedy is at last
, 1 found, any p e rson

Complaint, in any of its

• i bottle, and conviction
is certain.
These Gums remove

to digest well, purify
ing {the hloed, giving
tone and health to tin
whole machinery, re
moving the cause o!
the disease, —effecting
a radical cure.
Bilious attacks are
cured, and. what is
better, prevented by
the occasional use of
the Liver Invigorator.
One dose After eating
is sufficient to relievo
the stomach and pre
vent the food from ri
sing and souring.
Only ore dose take
before retiring, pre
vents Nightm .re.
Only one dose taken
at night, loosens the
bowels gently, and
cures Costivoness.
One Cose taken after
p -ch meal will cur*.

i One dose of two tea
spoonfuls will alway:
relieve Sick Headache
I One bottle taken lot
1 female obstructions.
I removes the cause ol
i the disease, and makes

One bottle taken for Jaundice removes all sal
lowness or unnatural color from the skin.
One dose taken a short time be ore eating
gives vigor to the appetite, and makes food dt
est well.
’ One dose often repented ‘cures Chronic Dinr
rhcea in its worst forms, while Summer and
Bowel Complaints yield almost to the tlrsl dose.
I One or two dose 9 cures attack* caused by
Worms iu children, there is no surer, safer, t-r
| speedier remedy in the world, ns it neverfails,
j A lew t ottles’cures Dropsy, by exciting the

! We hike pleasure in recommending this nvdi
cine as a preventive for Fever and Ague, Chill
! Fever, and ail Fevers of a Bilious Type. It ope
j rates with certainty, and thousands are willing
! to testiiy to its wonderful virtues,
j All who use it are giving their unanimous tea
tirnony in its favor.

cal Discovery, anti is daily working cures, al
mo*t too great to believe It cures as if by ma

Honored Sir--I should bo ungrateful for the
