ZOT.L" One Dress More. 'To think of wearing the same dress to church Sunday after Sunday!' exclaimed Mrs. Bradley, a young lady, to Mrs. Green, her mother. 'Why not. Sarah?' 'Folks will think it is the only one I have which is fit to wear to meeting.' 'It is, isn't it?' 'I know it, but I don't care about all the world knowing it.' 'You would not make all the world believe that which is not true, would you?' 'I don't care, I mean to have a new silk im- mediately.' 'But Sarah, your husband cannot afford it.' 'Yes he can; at least we can curtail our ex- penses in something else.' 'What?' 'Well, I don't know; we could make our pro- vision bill less.' Mrs. Green shook her head. -I don't think there is any need of our hav- ing beafsteaks and mutton-chops every morn- ing for breakfast. We never had such things at home you know. I would not give a straw to have meat for breakfast.' 'But James depends upon it.' 'I know it; yet for the sake of letting me ap- pear a little betteron Sunday he would willing- ly dispense with it,' 'Would you be willing to ask the question.' "Yes, whty not?' 'Would you ask him to go without his break- fast in order that you may have an extra silk dress?' 'Go without his breakfast, mother! I never thought of such a thing,' said Mrs. Bradley, with a disturbed look. 'But you know it amounts to the same thing to him. He was brought up in the country, where he had meat for breakfast, and he does not think he could make a meal without it.' 'We will not say anything more about that, then,' replied the young wife, who. 1 beg the reader to believe, would not have willingly de- prived her husband of any real comfort. 'How do you suppose Mrs. Farmer gets so many dresses?' 'I don't know.' 'She seems to come out with a new one al- most every Sunday. She must have, at least, half a dozen silks and bardges.' 'I hope her husband can afford them,' replied Mrs. Green, shaking her head significantly. 'He is not betteroff than James. They have the same salary, and are in the same concern.' 'A thousand dollars in these hard times will not go a great ways with a man who has a fam- ily to support. especially if his wife has a great many silk dresses.' 'But James saves two or three hundred of of his salary every year.' 'Every young man ought to save something.' 'Do you suppose John Farmer does?' 'I think not, at the rate his wife dresses.' 'But it is too hard to wear the same dress every Sunday. If 1 had one more I could get along very well.' 'You would want another still.' 'No, I shouldn't, mother.' 'There is no end to it, when you undertake to follow all these absurdities. When I was a girl I had only one dress to wear to meeting, and that was a calico.' The times have changed.' 'Changed for the worse. I am sure no such vanity as flounting out in a different dress ev- ery Sunday ever entered a girl's head, especi- ally whose fathers were not independently rich.' 'Nobody thinks of wearing the same dress all the time. Only one more-' 'One is enough. Sarah. If you let such silly notions get into your head, you will never know where to stop. You could easily spend all your husband's salary in dress, and then not keep up with the` demands of the times.' '1 am sure James can afford me a new silk; it will not cost much.' 'Do not think of it, child. Be prudent, care- full and contented, and when James is rich, you may do.ditflrent.' Mrs. Bradley was satisfied, after consider- able more demonstration on the part of her mother, that she could get along without a new silk. But it was hard to give up the idea of competing with Mrs. Farmer, whose husband was no better off than hers. James Bradley and John Farmer were clerks in a large house in the city, and both resided in a. neat cottage in the suburbs. Their fortune had been thus far very near the same and per- Iaps they might have continued the same through life, but for the different character of their wives. Mr. Bradley had been brought up to live within her means. A careful mother who re- alized the responsibilityof her position had rig- idly inculcated the principles of a sound econ- only, and trained her up to habits of prudence and thrift. And all these practical qualities she had brought with her into her domestic rela- tions when she embarked in a new sphere of life. Mrs. Farmer, on the other hand, though her parents were no better off in the world, had brought her up to be a lady-to wear fine dres- ses and play the piano in the parlor. Her knowledge and experience in household duties were very narrow and superficial, and her hus- band's thousand dollars a 3 ear would barely support them. They were obliged, in order to dress her as her habits and wishes required, to 'scrimp' in many of the real comforts of life.- The provision bill was kept at the lowest pos- sible figure. Mrs. Farmer thought beefsteaks were unhealthy in the morning, and John found it necessary to be of her opinion. Six dollars a year for Ice would buy a new bonnet, hence ice was the cause of a great many complaints that prevailed in summer. The comforts of living were sacrificed to the luxuries of dress. Beafsteaks at 10 cents a pound was unhealthy; but new bonnets at ten dollars apiece were necessaries of life. Mut- ton-chops at fifteen cents a pound caused the dyspepsia, but silk dresses at a dollar and a half a yard were not only healthy, but indis- pensable to the happiness of a lady. All the salary was spent-was intended to be spent-and the only question was whether it should be put in or on the body. The habit of extravagatnce was there, and all the thrift and economy which Mrs. Farmer knew was to save money for new dresses. She and Mrs Bradley were on intimate terms with each other, and, as may readily be sup- posed. the subject of dress was frequently dis- cussed. A few days after the conversation of Mrs. Bradley with her mother, her neighbor was making a 'call'. Mrs. Farmer could talk of nothing but dress. It was the study of her life-what she lived for-what she most hoped for in the future. AA usual, the conversation immediately degenerated into dress, it was all Mrs. Farmer knew. 'How do you like my new silk?' asked she. after several adroitpasss, in order to introduce the matter. 'It is very pretty, indeed. You come outin a new dress almost every Sunday, Ellen,' re- plied Mrs. Bradley. 'I wish I could.' 1 'I wonder how many niceresses you have in your wardrobe?' '1 have only one that is ft$o wear,' replied Mrs. Farmer, indifferently. i^ 'Only one!' 'That is fit to wear anywbh ' 'You brs at. least thtree .lks i.' 'All old fashioned. Made last fall-and all out of date. I tried John to give me a bar.ge, but he would not.' 'I am sure, if I had your dresses, I should think I were a princess.' 'Pshaw! If my husband don't give me anoth- er next week, I shan't go to church but once a month.' 'If I had your dresses. Ellen, I should not think of another, for a year at least.' 'Why don't you dress better, Sarah?' 'I can't afford to do so.' 'Pooh!' 'My mother thinks I dress well enough.' 'Why, you have worn the same dress to meeting every Sunday for a year.' 'And probably shall wear it every Sunday for the next year!' 'I wouldn't, if I were you.' 'I can't afford a new dress every month.- I was speaking the other day about having one more dress, but mother said so much against it, that I gave up the idea.' 'Tied to your mother's apron string yet?' sneered Mrs. Farmer. 'I am too thankful to get my mother's ad- vice, to regret it.' 'But get the raw silk, do! It will become you so well; and then we shall have a little re- spite from that everlasting fawn-color!' 'No, I have made up my minid not to have it.' 'Put the money into your stomach instead, and get the dyspepsia in the bargain!' said Mrs. Farmer, as she took her leave. The 'long run' tells the story; so let us step forward a few years, and look into the count- ing-room of our clerks. James and John are still there, and occupy- ing the same relative positions. Their salaries have been raised, and for three years they have been the recipients of the handsome sum of fourteen hundred a year. The first of January is at hand. Harris & Co. are about to dissolve, and the senior, who has made a princely fortune-and is a queer old fellow at that-i4 about to form a new co- partnership. 'Boys,' says old Mr. Harris, 'you have been with me a long while; I suppose you want to go'ahead and become merchants?' The 'boys' acknowledged the 'corn,' and John Farmer winked significantly at his asso- ciates. 'But,' continued the patriarchal merchant, 'to get ahead in business, requires certain qual- ities of mind and body. One must be indus- trious, economical and wide awake, as well as shrewd. Driving fast horses, eating cham- pagne suppers, and sucking mint juleps, do not furnish the necessary schooling for a merchant. I won't preach, however. In one word, the lst of January is close upon us. Those of you who can put two thousand dollars into the ton- cern shall draw a sixth of the profits! That's all.' The old fellow turned on his heel, picked up his hat and left the counting-room. James Bradley was the only one of the num- ber-four in all-who could 'face the music.' The other three had perfected themselves in the art of driving 2:40 horses, drinking cherry cobblers, and eating good dinners; which Mr. Harris had hinted was not a necessary qualifi- cati,n for one of his partners. John Farmer's surplus had been spent in giving his wife -one more dress.' As his salary increased from year to year 'one more dress' was oftener required. Beefsteaks, mutton- chops and ice were unhealthy and dyspeptic in their tendency as ever; and yet Mrs. Farmer, from the costliness of her apparel. might have been mistaken for the lady of a nabob. Five years more. Old Mr. Harris is dead; and though the firm is still Harris & Co., James Bradley is the senior partner. He has already made a competence, and does a large business. John Farmer left the concern three years ago. It was supposed because he could not endure the thought of being a clerk under his former companion. He left Boston and went to New Yolk, but his unthrifty habits followed him.- His wife wore the greatest part of his salary on his back; and disheartened by his ill success, he had increased the number of his cherry cob- blers in his per diem allowance to such an ex- tent that he had been discharged from his place. Not being able to get another situation in New York, he reached Boston in straightened cir- cumstances. He was equally unfortunate there. The toddy blossoms on his nose were against him; his coat was rusty; and his breath smelt like the fog from a three-cent grog-shop. His last dollar was spent, and his wife was paying a visit to a friend who had repeatedly urged her to spend a week with her, and whom she would have been sorry to disappoint. He was reduced to the last extremity. His old friend and associate, James Bradley, was now in -,ffluence, and able to assist him. Mor- tifying as was the thought, there was scarely any other alternative, but to apply to him for a situation. James was shocked when he recognized him. Sherry cobblers, a thriftless wife, 'one more dress,' and the want of encouragement had done their work. 'Is there a vacancy in your counting-room, Mr. Bradley?' le asked in humble tones. 'There is not, John, but I will vacate a place for you,' replied the liberal merchant, as he re- alized the situation of his former associate. -Thank you,' replied Joen, a tear starting to his eye at this unexpected kindness-the first lie had ever experienced any where, not except- ing his own house-for many and many a weary month. John had an opportunity to contrast his own circumstances with those of his thrifty friend. He was sad at heart-in fact, he was a ruined man. He did very well for a few month in the counting-room of his friend, but his old habits soon obtained the mastery over him again, and he died suddenly of a disease induced by dissi- pation. 'One more dress,' said Mrs. Green-the good old lady is now a cherished member of a daughter's family-'is the representative of the whole system of extravagance. One more dress, as the type of a great bundle of bad hab- its, was the ruin of John Farmer. Don't you know it, Sarah?' 'I do, mother, and can not be too grateful for your wholesome advice. I am sure that without it, I should have 'procured one new dress,' then wanted another and another, until I had spoiled all my husband's expectations. Poor Ellen Farmer! she is binding shoes for her daily bread now.' Never leave things lying about-a shawl here, a pair of slippers there, and a bonnet somewhere else-trusting to a servant to set things to rights. No matter how many ser- vants you have, it is a miserable habit, and if its source is not in the intellectural and moral character, it will inevitably terminate there.-, If you have used the dipper, towel, tumbler, &c., put them back in their places, and you will know where to find them when you want them again. Or if you set an example of carelessness, do not blame your servants for following it. Children should be taught to put things back in their places as soon as they are old enough to use them; and if each mem- ber of the family were to observe this simple rule, the house would never get much out of order, and a large amount of vexation and use- ,~s labor would beavoidedl. NAVAL REMcx,?zscs s.-We recollect an an- ecdote illustrative of the character of commo- dore Isaac Hull, the brave commander of the Constitution, in her famous action with the Gurriere, and whose memory will be dearly cherished by every American, so long as the stars and stripes are seen on the broad Atlantic. The anecdote, besides that it may be new to some of our readers, is not altogether inapprop- riate to the ttmes. During the cruise in the Pacific of the frigate United States, commander by commodore Hull, in 1826, we believe, this vessel lay at anchor in the outer harbor of Callao. The castle which commanded the port was in possession of the royalists, under general Rodi, and was be- sieged and blockaded by the patriot forces.- One night the British ship of the line Cam- bridge entered the port of Callao, and was fired upon by the castle. A boat was immedi- ately dispatched by the captain, to inquire into the cause of the outrage. General Body apol- ogized by declaring that he mistook the British seventy-four for the American frigate United States, and had fired upon her because he did not consider it proper for a neutral ship-of- war to anchor within gun shot of the castle! This answer was the next day communica- ted to commodore Hull by the British captain, and it greatly roused his indignation. He im- mediately cleared ship for action; double-shot- ted the guns, and got underway with more emphasis than unction, "I'll see if the rascals dare fire into me!". And then with his broad pennant at the mast-head, and an immense American ensign flying at the peak, that there might be no mistake this time, with the tompins out, and matches lighted, he proceeded to- wards the castle, sailed past it under easy sail, and leisurely came to anchor without receiving from the castle a single shot! A boat was soon after sent by general Rodi to commodore Hull, with an explanation and apology which was accepted and the frigate returned to her former anchoring ground. No doubt existed in the mind of any man on board the frigate, that if a shot had been fired from the castle, the commodore would have return- ed it with a broadside, and would have used all the means in his power tobatter the castle down about the ears of general Rodi! The above anecdote reminds us of an inci- dent in point which occurred to another of our most distinguished officers on the same coast some eight or ten years before. Capt. Downes, -who is still a hearty young man, although this event occurred between thirty and forty years ago-in the second class frigate Mace- donian, was lying at anchor in one of the ports of the Pacific, when he received intelligence from a sure source that lord Cochrane, who at the time commanded the patriot fleet, had declared, in defiance of the law of nations, the port Callao to be in a state of blockade, and had also stated publicly and repeatedly that no American vessel, whether a merchant-man or man-of-war, should enter that port! *Indeed,' exclaimed the youthful commodore, with fire flashing in his eyes, when he heard the intelli- gence-'I must try the experiment and see if he will keep his word!' The Macedonian was immediately got un- der way, and in the course of a few days ap- peared off the harbor of Callao. It was in the afternoon; and as she drew in towards the shore, she fell in with all lord Cochrane's squadron, consisting of his flagship, the O'Higgins, of sixty guns, some of greater, some of less force than the Macedonian. When the vesels neared each other, lord Cochrane, from the deck ol his ship requested captain Downes not to enter the harbor, for that a blockade had been declar- ed and was then in force. Our gallant country- man replied that the blockade was irregular, and could not be legally enforced-and furth- ermore that he intended to enter the harbor of Callao if possible! This spirited reply put an end to all discussion, and the Macedonian pro- ceeded onward with a light wind, without mo- lestation; but all her men were at quarters, of course, and ready to discharge a couple of pep- pering broadsides, the instant circumstances might render it necessary. The O'Higgins ac- companied the Yankee ship on one quarter. within musket shot, and another large Chilian man-of-war kept about the same distance on the other. In the course of the evening, how- ever, the wind died away, and all the vessels were obliged to anchor. Soon after this lord Cochrane dispatched an officer on board tlhe Macedonian with a com- munication, in which, having changed his threats into remonstrances, he attempted to ar- gue the matter, and by persuasion and logic, turn captain Downes from his purpose. The lieutenant, when he reached the deck of the Macedonian. was greatly astonished to find that, alihough the ports were closed, the men were still at quarters, the deck lanterns lighted, and everytling in readiness to repel an attack or revenge an insult. The arguments of Coch- rane were, however, no more successful than the display of his naval force. He ascertain- ed, to his mortification, that there was only one way by which he could prevent the Ma- cedonian from entering the harbor and break- ing up thle sham blockade-and that was by sinking the frigate as she lay at her anchors- an undertaking desperate and dangerous, not- withstanding thle superiority of his naval force -and hc shrunk from the attempt. Thie next day the Macedonian got under- way, and with her decks cleared for action and her brave crew eagerly longing for a brush with the O'Higgins, left the Chilian squad- ron, entered the harbor of Callao. and re- lieved the blockade! Thie gallant spirit manifested by Hull and Downes on the above occasion has character- ized the officers of the American navy; and many instances of noble daring, of coolness and intrepidity in danger, and devotion to tltheir country, which would contribute largely to the glory of our flag, have never been recorded. EUREKA!-The circle is squared, vide: "If you take a silver wire twelve and a quarter inches long, the quarter being allowed to unite the ends, you have a circular wire exactly twelve inches; and if this wire is made to form the true square, each of its sides will be equal to nine square inches. Now if thle same wire is allowed to assume the true circle, it is evi- dent that the area of the circle will be the same as it was in the square. For instance, if a wall be built around a city and it is found to be twelve miles around, the area of that city is nine miles square. Therefore, the square of any circleis equal to three-fourths of the length of its own circumference." A high medical authority, professor Hup- land, says that, so far as external life is con- cerned, sleep is no less necessary for its dura- tion than its'health. Without the proper and necessary amount of sleep, the vital energy is dried up and withered, and we waste away as a tree would, deprived of the sap that nourish- es it. The physical effects of sleep are, that it retards all tlhe vital movements, collects the vi- tal power, and restores what has been lost in the course of the day, and separates us from what is useless and pernicious. It is, as it were, a daily crisis, during which all the se- cretions are reformed in the greatest tranquili- ty and perfection. The ie tn the Ohio sad Mis-sssippi rivers was at last a-rimats brkring up. LADY GAMBLas.--Lady Aylesbury is cele- brated as one of the leaders of that gay and dis- sipated circle of London fashion, of which the lady Jersey is the acknowledged queen.- Though by no rieans a strong-minded woman in the sense unde:rstood here, being neither old, ugly. and as a consequence particularly moral, she is in some degree entitled td the appella- tion, for her perfection in certain physical ac- complishments in which excellence is usually the attribute of than. She is a first-rate whip, a charming horse-man; makes a book on the Derby, and during the railway mania, was a leading "stag," or, remembering her sex, we should rather say "doe," on the stock ex- change. Her feats in this latter field, and the fame accorded to them by D'Israeli, in "Co- ningsby," where, under a fictitious name, she is most graphically pictured, surrounded her with a halo which has not yet passed away, and he? presence in the park, as preceded by her outriders, she directs with the grace of an ama- zon her fiery blood-steeds down the row, starts a throb in many blaze veins, and wakes great wonder among the lounging gapersof the rails. Of her operations during the railroad madness, she made no concealment. Indeed, her light. airy carriage might be often seen hanging in Cheapside, between two burly omnibuses, or gliding fairy-like among huge bundle of bag- gage -carts. :During "the fine term"-which in such manias precede the storm-lord Ayles- bury, who was a good deal of the Dolly Span- ker school, looked on his lady Gay's exploits with a stupid delight. At one time she was said to have realized near one hundred thou- sand pounds, under the advice of the great rail- way potentate, Hudson, of whom she was from her rank and fashion a special pet, and out of whose keeping she used with most playful co- quetry coax ste most important secrets of rail- way state. But when railway stock fell, and their king fell gloriously with his kingdom, lady Ayles- bury saw another sight. Fron, day to day she clung to fast falling eastern counties and mid- lands in the hope that a good ray would come to light up the darkness of the scenery. But all in vain. Lady Aylesbury had to leave the field with the loss of some seventy thousand pounds, which thenceforth became a charge upon the marquisate manor of Jerveau Abbey in Yorkshire. Ex-king Hudson. like all ex-kings, was, of course, cut and voted by all his aristrocratic confederates a swindler. He at once descend- ed from ai French artiste to a plain family cook, fell from cotelotts to chops, and led his lovely railway queen from her Gibraltar palace by Hyde-park gate to a second pair back in Half-moon street. So hasit been with Belizar- ius, Bolingbroke, Robert Schuyler and Mr. Con- fidence Greer, most derided by those in adver- sity, who most fawned and courted in prosper- ity. Whether the madness flows on with the Mis- sissippi, or wantons among undiscovered is- lands in southern seas; whether it dives deep in a California mine, or flaunt's among the tulip gardens of Haarlem, the disease presents the same diagnosis. The Niblo transformation was no greater than that which the hall boors of Hudson presented the day before and the day after his fall. On the one might be seen the carriages of half England's nobles, including F. M., the duke of Wellington, who occasional- [ ly took a little dip in midlands: on the other, not even a cabman or omnibus cab so poor to I do his calling. Still, during his short but splen- I did reign, never were parties so prolific of pleasantness as those of George Hudson. It was told of this very poor, departed marquis of Aylesbury-and the story, if not true, is at least well founded-that at a party less distin- guished than usual, of which lord Aylesbury was the most distinguished of the invited guests, dinner being for some time delayed for his ar- rival, the railway potentate apologized, saying smilingly, "we must wait, yqu know, for the prima donna." Mr. Osborne suggesting tim- idly on this, that that phrase was usually ap- plied to the gentler sex, "ah, to be sure," he cried, "I was never much of a hand at French." Perhaps the strongest feature of that railway mania was the violent excitement with which the ladies of England leaped into it. These bright gamblers gathered each morning around the share list with the same eager passion with which they might be seen around the faro ta- bles of Baden to-day, or around the gambling booths of Paris some half a century since.- They were far more daring and unscrupulous than men, and if many lost, many also won.- Indeed, even book-making on the turf is not confined to lady Aylesbury. The late lady Lovelace, better known as "the Ada, sole daughter of my house and heart," of Byron, was a melancholy example of this passion.- For some years, wholly unknown to her hus- band, she had, through an agent, a Mr. Kree- lake, bet large sumson the turf, and was, down to the period of Teddington's year, a large win- ner. Tempted by her success, and no doubt hoping to make a large coup, she ventured bc- yond her depth, and laid immense sums against this horse Teddington. At the settling, Mr. Kreelake being unable to meet his bets, the story had to be told. Lord Lovelace, with un- bending honor, paid the whole amount, some- what near 60,000, but lady Lovelace never recovered from the pain and suffering such an exposure brought, and died in Italy soon after. After all, what is life but, with most men and women, a faro table or a racing field-players, some of weak brain and hand, and some of strong, some with fair and some with foul for- tune, all gaming on to the grave. But a gam- bler's grave has but few mourners to drop a tear upon it. PmHLosoP•Y oF RAIN.-To understand the philosophy of this beautiful and often sublime phenomenon so often witnessed since the crea- tion of the world, and so essential to the very existence of plants and animals, a few facts derived from observation and a long train of experiments, must be remembered. 1. Were the atmosphere at times of a uni- form temperature, we should never have rain, hail, or snow. The water absorbed by it in evaporation from the sea and the earth's sur- face would descend in an imperceptible vapor, or cease to be absorbed by the air when it was once fully saturated. 2. The absorbing power of the atmosphere, and consequently its capacity to retain humid- ity is proportionably greater in warm than cold air. 3. The air near the surface of the earth is warmer than it is in the region of the clouds. The higher we ascend from the earth the cold- er do we find the atmosphere. Hence the perpetual snow on all very high mountains in the hottest climate. Now, when from continued evaporation, the air is highly saturated with vapors, though it be invisible and the sky cloudless, if its tem- perature is suddenly reduced by cold currents ascending from above, or by the motion of a saturated air to a cold latitude, its capacity to retain moisture is diminished, clouds are form- ed, and the result is rain. Air condenses as it cools, and like a sponge filled with water and compressed, pours out the water which its diminished capacity cannot hold. How singu- lar, yet how simS the philosophy of rain'.- What but Om iser tce could have deviaed such an admirable 'arfngemeut for -atnrig t!.:e earth?

One Dress More.'To think of wearing the same dress to church

Sunday after Sunday!' exclaimed Mrs. Bradley,a young lady, to Mrs. Green, her mother.

'Why not. Sarah?''Folks will think it is the only one I have

which is fit to wear to meeting.''It is, isn't it?''I know it, but I don't care about all the

world knowing it.''You would not make all the world believe

that which is not true, would you?''I don't care, I mean to have a new silk im-

mediately.''But Sarah, your husband cannot afford it.''Yes he can; at least we can curtail our ex-

penses in something else.''What?''Well, I don't know; we could make our pro-

vision bill less.'Mrs. Green shook her head.-I don't think there is any need of our hav-

ing beafsteaks and mutton-chops every morn-ing for breakfast. We never had such thingsat home you know. I would not give a strawto have meat for breakfast.'

'But James depends upon it.''I know it; yet for the sake of letting me ap-

pear a little betteron Sunday he would willing-ly dispense with it,'

'Would you be willing to ask the question.'"Yes, whty not?''Would you ask him to go without his break-

fast in order that you may have an extra silkdress?'

'Go without his breakfast, mother! I neverthought of such a thing,' said Mrs. Bradley,with a disturbed look.

'But you know it amounts to the same thingto him. He was brought up in the country,where he had meat for breakfast, and he doesnot think he could make a meal without it.''We will not say anything more about that,

then,' replied the young wife, who. 1 beg thereader to believe, would not have willingly de-prived her husband of any real comfort. 'Howdo you suppose Mrs. Farmer gets so manydresses?'

'I don't know.''She seems to come out with a new one al-

most every Sunday. She must have, at least,half a dozen silks and bardges.'

'I hope her husband can afford them,' repliedMrs. Green, shaking her head significantly.'He is not betteroff than James. They have

the same salary, and are in the same concern.''A thousand dollars in these hard times will

not go a great ways with a man who has a fam-ily to support. especially if his wife has a greatmany silk dresses.'

'But James saves two or three hundred ofof his salary every year.'

'Every young man ought to save something.''Do you suppose John Farmer does?''I think not, at the rate his wife dresses.''But it is too hard to wear the same dress

every Sunday. If 1 had one more I could get

along very well.''You would want another still.''No, I shouldn't, mother.''There is no end to it, when you undertake

to follow all these absurdities. When I was agirl I had only one dress to wear to meeting,and that was a calico.'

The times have changed.''Changed for the worse. I am sure no such

vanity as flounting out in a different dress ev-ery Sunday ever entered a girl's head, especi-ally whose fathers were not independently rich.'

'Nobody thinks of wearing the same dressall the time. Only one more-'

'One is enough. Sarah. If you let such sillynotions get into your head, you will never knowwhere to stop. You could easily spend allyour husband's salary in dress, and then notkeep up with the` demands of the times.''1 am sure James can afford me a new silk;

it will not cost much.''Do not think of it, child. Be prudent, care-

full and contented, and when James is rich,you may do.ditflrent.'

Mrs. Bradley was satisfied, after consider-able more demonstration on the part of hermother, that she could get along without a newsilk. But it was hard to give up the idea ofcompeting with Mrs. Farmer, whose husbandwas no better off than hers.

James Bradley and John Farmer were clerksin a large house in the city, and both residedin a. neat cottage in the suburbs. Their fortunehad been thus far very near the same and per-

Iaps they might have continued the samethrough life, but for the different character oftheir wives.

Mr. Bradley had been brought up to livewithin her means. A careful mother who re-alized the responsibilityof her position had rig-idly inculcated the principles of a sound econ-only, and trained her up to habits of prudenceand thrift. And all these practical qualities shehad brought with her into her domestic rela-tions when she embarked in a new sphere of life.

Mrs. Farmer, on the other hand, though herparents were no better off in the world, hadbrought her up to be a lady-to wear fine dres-ses and play the piano in the parlor. Herknowledge and experience in household dutieswere very narrow and superficial, and her hus-band's thousand dollars a 3 ear would barelysupport them. They were obliged, in order todress her as her habits and wishes required, to'scrimp' in many of the real comforts of life.-The provision bill was kept at the lowest pos-sible figure. Mrs. Farmer thought beefsteakswere unhealthy in the morning, and John foundit necessary to be of her opinion. Six dollars ayear for Ice would buy a new bonnet, henceice was the cause of a great many complaintsthat prevailed in summer.

The comforts of living were sacrificed to theluxuries of dress. Beafsteaks at 10 cents apound was unhealthy; but new bonnets at tendollars apiece were necessaries of life. Mut-ton-chops at fifteen cents a pound caused thedyspepsia, but silk dresses at a dollar and ahalf a yard were not only healthy, but indis-pensable to the happiness of a lady.

All the salary was spent-was intended tobe spent-and the only question was whetherit should be put in or on the body. The habitof extravagatnce was there, and all the thriftand economy which Mrs. Farmer knew was tosave money for new dresses.

She and Mrs Bradley were on intimate termswith each other, and, as may readily be sup-posed. the subject of dress was frequently dis-cussed.

A few days after the conversation of Mrs.Bradley with her mother, her neighbor wasmaking a 'call'. Mrs. Farmer could talk ofnothing but dress. It was the study of herlife-what she lived for-what she most hopedfor in the future. AA usual, the conversationimmediately degenerated into dress, it was allMrs. Farmer knew.

'How do you like my new silk?' asked she.after several adroitpasss, in order to introducethe matter.

'It is very pretty, indeed. You come outina new dress almost every Sunday, Ellen,' re-plied Mrs. Bradley.

'I wish I could.' 1'I wonder how many niceresses you have

in your wardrobe?''1 have only one that is ft$o wear,' replied

Mrs. Farmer, indifferently. i^'Only one!''That is fit to wear anywbh ''You brs at. least thtree .lks i.'

'All old fashioned. Made last fall-and allout of date. I tried John to give me a bar.ge,but he would not.'

'I am sure, if I had your dresses, I shouldthink I were a princess.'

'Pshaw! If my husband don't give me anoth-er next week, I shan't go to church but once amonth.'

'If I had your dresses. Ellen, I should notthink of another, for a year at least.'

'Why don't you dress better, Sarah?''I can't afford to do so.''Pooh!''My mother thinks I dress well enough.''Why, you have worn the same dress to

meeting every Sunday for a year.''And probably shall wear it every Sunday

for the next year!''I wouldn't, if I were you.''I can't afford a new dress every month.-

I was speaking the other day about having onemore dress, but mother said so much against it,that I gave up the idea.'

'Tied to your mother's apron string yet?'sneered Mrs. Farmer.

'I am too thankful to get my mother's ad-vice, to regret it.'

'But get the raw silk, do! It will becomeyou so well; and then we shall have a little re-spite from that everlasting fawn-color!'

'No, I have made up my minid not to have it.''Put the money into your stomach instead,

and get the dyspepsia in the bargain!' said Mrs.Farmer, as she took her leave.

The 'long run' tells the story; so let us stepforward a few years, and look into the count-ing-room of our clerks.

James and John are still there, and occupy-ing the same relative positions. Their salarieshave been raised, and for three years they havebeen the recipients of the handsome sum offourteen hundred a year.

The first of January is at hand. Harris &Co. are about to dissolve, and the senior, whohas made a princely fortune-and is a queerold fellow at that-i4 about to form a new co-partnership.

'Boys,' says old Mr. Harris, 'you have beenwith me a long while; I suppose you want togo'ahead and become merchants?'

The 'boys' acknowledged the 'corn,' andJohn Farmer winked significantly at his asso-ciates.

'But,' continued the patriarchal merchant,'to get ahead in business, requires certain qual-ities of mind and body. One must be indus-trious, economical and wide awake, as well asshrewd. Driving fast horses, eating cham-pagne suppers, and sucking mint juleps, do notfurnish the necessary schooling for a merchant.I won't preach, however. In one word, the lstof January is close upon us. Those of youwho can put two thousand dollars into the ton-cern shall draw a sixth of the profits! That'sall.'

The old fellow turned on his heel, picked uphis hat and left the counting-room.

James Bradley was the only one of the num-ber-four in all-who could 'face the music.'The other three had perfected themselves inthe art of driving 2:40 horses, drinking cherrycobblers, and eating good dinners; which Mr.Harris had hinted was not a necessary qualifi-cati,n for one of his partners.

John Farmer's surplus had been spent ingiving his wife -one more dress.' As his salaryincreased from year to year 'one more dress'was oftener required. Beefsteaks, mutton-chops and ice were unhealthy and dyspeptic intheir tendency as ever; and yet Mrs. Farmer,from the costliness of her apparel. might havebeen mistaken for the lady of a nabob.

Five years more. Old Mr. Harris is dead;and though the firm is still Harris & Co.,James Bradley is the senior partner. He hasalready made a competence, and does a largebusiness.

John Farmer left the concern three years ago.It was supposed because he could not endurethe thought of being a clerk under his formercompanion. He left Boston and went to NewYolk, but his unthrifty habits followed him.-His wife wore the greatest part of his salary onhis back; and disheartened by his ill success,he had increased the number of his cherry cob-blers in his per diem allowance to such an ex-tent that he had been discharged from his place.Not being able to get another situation in NewYork, he reached Boston in straightened cir-cumstances. He was equally unfortunate there.The toddy blossoms on his nose were againsthim; his coat was rusty; and his breath smeltlike the fog from a three-cent grog-shop. Hislast dollar was spent, and his wife was payinga visit to a friend who had repeatedly urged herto spend a week with her, and whom she wouldhave been sorry to disappoint.

He was reduced to the last extremity. Hisold friend and associate, James Bradley, wasnow in -,ffluence, and able to assist him. Mor-tifying as was the thought, there was scarelyany other alternative, but to apply to him fora situation.

James was shocked when he recognized him.Sherry cobblers, a thriftless wife, 'one moredress,' and the want of encouragement haddone their work.

'Is there a vacancy in your counting-room,Mr. Bradley?' le asked in humble tones.'There is not, John, but I will vacate a place

for you,' replied the liberal merchant, as he re-alized the situation of his former associate.

-Thank you,' replied Joen, a tear starting tohis eye at this unexpected kindness-the firstlie had ever experienced any where, not except-ing his own house-for many and many aweary month. John had an opportunity tocontrast his own circumstances with those ofhis thrifty friend. He was sad at heart-infact, he was a ruined man.

He did very well for a few month in thecounting-room of his friend, but his old habitssoon obtained the mastery over him again, andhe died suddenly of a disease induced by dissi-pation.

'One more dress,' said Mrs. Green-thegood old lady is now a cherished member of adaughter's family-'is the representative of thewhole system of extravagance. One moredress, as the type of a great bundle of bad hab-its, was the ruin of John Farmer. Don't youknow it, Sarah?'

'I do, mother, and can not be too gratefulfor your wholesome advice. I am sure thatwithout it, I should have 'procured one newdress,' then wanted another and another, untilI had spoiled all my husband's expectations.Poor Ellen Farmer! she is binding shoes forher daily bread now.'

Never leave things lying about-a shawlhere, a pair of slippers there, and a bonnetsomewhere else-trusting to a servant to setthings to rights. No matter how many ser-vants you have, it is a miserable habit, and ifits source is not in the intellectural and moralcharacter, it will inevitably terminate there.-,If you have used the dipper, towel, tumbler,&c., put them back in their places, and youwill know where to find them when you wantthem again. Or if you set an example ofcarelessness, do not blame your servants forfollowing it. Children should be taught toput things back in their places as soon as theyare old enough to use them; and if each mem-ber of the family were to observe this simplerule, the house would never get much out oforder, and a large amount of vexation and use-,~s labor would beavoidedl.

NAVAL REMcx,?zscs s.-We recollect an an-ecdote illustrative of the character of commo-dore Isaac Hull, the brave commander of theConstitution, in her famous action with theGurriere, and whose memory will be dearlycherished by every American, so long as thestars and stripes are seen on the broad Atlantic.The anecdote, besides that it may be new tosome of our readers, is not altogether inapprop-riate to the ttmes.

During the cruise in the Pacific of the frigateUnited States, commander by commodore Hull,in 1826, we believe, this vessel lay at anchorin the outer harbor of Callao. The castlewhich commanded the port was in possession ofthe royalists, under general Rodi, and was be-sieged and blockaded by the patriot forces.-One night the British ship of the line Cam-bridge entered the port of Callao, and wasfired upon by the castle. A boat was immedi-ately dispatched by the captain, to inquire intothe cause of the outrage. General Body apol-ogized by declaring that he mistook the Britishseventy-four for the American frigate UnitedStates, and had fired upon her because he didnot consider it proper for a neutral ship-of-war to anchor within gun shot of the castle!

This answer was the next day communica-ted to commodore Hull by the British captain,and it greatly roused his indignation. He im-mediately cleared ship for action; double-shot-ted the guns, and got underway with moreemphasis than unction, "I'll see if the rascalsdare fire into me!". And then with his broadpennant at the mast-head, and an immenseAmerican ensign flying at the peak, that theremight be no mistake this time, with the tompinsout, and matches lighted, he proceeded to-wards the castle, sailed past it under easy sail,and leisurely came to anchor without receivingfrom the castle a single shot!

A boat was soon after sent by general Rodito commodore Hull, with an explanation andapology which was accepted and the frigatereturned to her former anchoring ground. Nodoubt existed in the mind of any man on boardthe frigate, that if a shot had been fired fromthe castle, the commodore would have return-ed it with a broadside, and would have used allthe means in his power tobatter the castle downabout the ears of general Rodi!

The above anecdote reminds us of an inci-dent in point which occurred to another of ourmost distinguished officers on the same coastsome eight or ten years before. Capt. Downes,-who is still a hearty young man, althoughthis event occurred between thirty and fortyyears ago-in the second class frigate Mace-donian, was lying at anchor in one of the portsof the Pacific, when he received intelligencefrom a sure source that lord Cochrane, whoat the time commanded the patriot fleet, haddeclared, in defiance of the law of nations, theport Callao to be in a state of blockade, andhad also stated publicly and repeatedly that noAmerican vessel, whether a merchant-man orman-of-war, should enter that port! *Indeed,'exclaimed the youthful commodore, with fireflashing in his eyes, when he heard the intelli-gence-'I must try the experiment and see ifhe will keep his word!'

The Macedonian was immediately got un-der way, and in the course of a few days ap-peared off the harbor of Callao. It was in theafternoon; and as she drew in towards the shore,she fell in with all lord Cochrane's squadron,consisting of his flagship, the O'Higgins, ofsixty guns, some of greater, some of less forcethan the Macedonian. When the vesels nearedeach other, lord Cochrane, from the deck olhis ship requested captain Downes not to enterthe harbor, for that a blockade had been declar-ed and was then in force. Our gallant country-man replied that the blockade was irregular,and could not be legally enforced-and furth-ermore that he intended to enter the harbor ofCallao if possible! This spirited reply put anend to all discussion, and the Macedonian pro-ceeded onward with a light wind, without mo-lestation; but all her men were at quarters, ofcourse, and ready to discharge a couple of pep-pering broadsides, the instant circumstancesmight render it necessary. The O'Higgins ac-companied the Yankee ship on one quarter.within musket shot, and another large Chilianman-of-war kept about the same distance onthe other. In the course of the evening, how-ever, the wind died away, and all the vesselswere obliged to anchor.

Soon after this lord Cochrane dispatched anofficer on board tlhe Macedonian with a com-munication, in which, having changed histhreats into remonstrances, he attempted to ar-gue the matter, and by persuasion and logic,turn captain Downes from his purpose. Thelieutenant, when he reached the deck of theMacedonian. was greatly astonished to find that,alihough the ports were closed, the men werestill at quarters, the deck lanterns lighted, and

everytling in readiness to repel an attack orrevenge an insult. The arguments of Coch-rane were, however, no more successful thanthe display of his naval force. He ascertain-ed, to his mortification, that there was onlyone way by which he could prevent the Ma-cedonian from entering the harbor and break-

ing up thle sham blockade-and that was bysinking the frigate as she lay at her anchors-an undertaking desperate and dangerous, not-withstanding thle superiority of his naval force-and hc shrunk from the attempt.

Thie next day the Macedonian got under-way, and with her decks cleared for actionand her brave crew eagerly longing for a brushwith the O'Higgins, left the Chilian squad-ron, entered the harbor of Callao. and re-lieved the blockade!

Thie gallant spirit manifested by Hull andDownes on the above occasion has character-ized the officers of the American navy; andmany instances of noble daring, of coolnessand intrepidity in danger, and devotion to tltheircountry, which would contribute largely to theglory of our flag, have never been recorded.

EUREKA!-The circle is squared, vide: "Ifyou take a silver wire twelve and a quarterinches long, the quarter being allowed to unitethe ends, you have a circular wire exactlytwelve inches; and if this wire is made to formthe true square, each of its sides will be equalto nine square inches. Now if thle same wireis allowed to assume the true circle, it is evi-dent that the area of the circle will be thesame as it was in the square. For instance, ifa wall be built around a city and it is found tobe twelve miles around, the area of that city isnine miles square. Therefore, the square ofany circleis equal to three-fourths of the lengthof its own circumference."

A high medical authority, professor Hup-land, says that, so far as external life is con-cerned, sleep is no less necessary for its dura-tion than its'health. Without the proper andnecessary amount of sleep, the vital energy isdried up and withered, and we waste away asa tree would, deprived of the sap that nourish-es it. The physical effects of sleep are, that itretards all tlhe vital movements, collects the vi-tal power, and restores what has been lost inthe course of the day, and separates us fromwhat is useless and pernicious. It is, as itwere, a daily crisis, during which all the se-cretions are reformed in the greatest tranquili-ty and perfection.

LADY GAMBLas.--Lady Aylesbury is cele-brated as one of the leaders of that gay and dis-sipated circle of London fashion, of which the

lady Jersey is the acknowledged queen.-Though by no rieans a strong-minded womanin the sense unde:rstood here, being neither old,ugly. and as a consequence particularly moral,she is in some degree entitled td the appella-tion, for her perfection in certain physical ac-complishments in which excellence is usuallythe attribute of than. She is a first-rate whip,a charming horse-man; makes a book on theDerby, and during the railway mania, was aleading "stag," or, remembering her sex, weshould rather say "doe," on the stock ex-change. Her feats in this latter field, and thefame accorded to them by D'Israeli, in "Co-ningsby," where, under a fictitious name, sheis most graphically pictured, surrounded herwith a halo which has not yet passed away, andhe? presence in the park, as preceded by heroutriders, she directs with the grace of an ama-zon her fiery blood-steeds down the row, startsa throb in many blaze veins, and wakes greatwonder among the lounging gapersof the rails.Of her operations during the railroad madness,she made no concealment. Indeed, her light.airy carriage might be often seen hanging inCheapside, between two burly omnibuses, orgliding fairy-like among huge bundle of bag-gage -carts. :During "the fine term"-whichin such manias precede the storm-lord Ayles-bury, who was a good deal of the Dolly Span-ker school, looked on his lady Gay's exploitswith a stupid delight. At one time she wassaid to have realized near one hundred thou-sand pounds, under the advice of the great rail-way potentate, Hudson, of whom she was fromher rank and fashion a special pet, and out ofwhose keeping she used with most playful co-quetry coax ste most important secrets of rail-way state.

But when railway stock fell, and their kingfell gloriously with his kingdom, lady Ayles-bury saw another sight. Fron, day to day sheclung to fast falling eastern counties and mid-lands in the hope that a good ray would cometo light up the darkness of the scenery. Butall in vain. Lady Aylesbury had to leave thefield with the loss of some seventy thousandpounds, which thenceforth became a chargeupon the marquisate manor of Jerveau Abbeyin Yorkshire.

Ex-king Hudson. like all ex-kings, was, ofcourse, cut and voted by all his aristrocraticconfederates a swindler. He at once descend-ed from ai French artiste to a plain familycook, fell from cotelotts to chops, and led hislovely railway queen from her Gibraltar palaceby Hyde-park gate to a second pair back inHalf-moon street. So hasit been with Belizar-ius, Bolingbroke, Robert Schuyler and Mr. Con-fidence Greer, most derided by those in adver-sity, who most fawned and courted in prosper-ity.

Whether the madness flows on with the Mis-sissippi, or wantons among undiscovered is-lands in southern seas; whether it dives deep ina California mine, or flaunt's among the tulipgardens of Haarlem, the disease presents thesame diagnosis. The Niblo transformation wasno greater than that which the hall boors ofHudson presented the day before and the dayafter his fall. On the one might be seen thecarriages of half England's nobles, includingF. M., the duke of Wellington, who occasional-[ ly took a little dip in midlands: on the other,not even a cabman or omnibus cab so poor toI do his calling. Still, during his short but splen-

I did reign, never were parties so prolific of

pleasantness as those of George Hudson. Itwas told of this very poor, departed marquis ofAylesbury-and the story, if not true, is atleast well founded-that at a party less distin-guished than usual, of which lord Aylesburywas the most distinguished of the invited guests,dinner being for some time delayed for his ar-rival, the railway potentate apologized, sayingsmilingly, "we must wait, yqu know, for theprima donna." Mr. Osborne suggesting tim-idly on this, that that phrase was usually ap-plied to the gentler sex, "ah, to be sure," hecried, "I was never much of a hand at French."

Perhaps the strongest feature of that railwaymania was the violent excitement with whichthe ladies of England leaped into it. Thesebright gamblers gathered each morning aroundthe share list with the same eager passion withwhich they might be seen around the faro ta-bles of Baden to-day, or around the gamblingbooths of Paris some half a century since.-They were far more daring and unscrupulousthan men, and if many lost, many also won.-Indeed, even book-making on the turf is notconfined to lady Aylesbury. The late ladyLovelace, better known as "the Ada, soledaughter of my house and heart," of Byron,was a melancholy example of this passion.-For some years, wholly unknown to her hus-band, she had, through an agent, a Mr. Kree-lake, bet large sumson the turf, and was, downto the period of Teddington's year, a large win-ner. Tempted by her success, and no doubt

hoping to make a large coup, she ventured bc-

yond her depth, and laid immense sums againstthis horse Teddington. At the settling, Mr.Kreelake being unable to meet his bets, thestory had to be told. Lord Lovelace, with un-bending honor, paid the whole amount, some-what near 60,000, but lady Lovelace neverrecovered from the pain and suffering such an

exposure brought, and died in Italy soon after.After all, what is life but, with most men andwomen, a faro table or a racing field-players,some of weak brain and hand, and some ofstrong, some with fair and some with foul for-tune, all gaming on to the grave. But a gam-bler's grave has but few mourners to drop atear upon it.

PmHLosoP•Y oF RAIN.-To understand thephilosophy of this beautiful and often sublimephenomenon so often witnessed since the crea-tion of the world, and so essential to the veryexistence of plants and animals, a few factsderived from observation and a long train ofexperiments, must be remembered.

1. Were the atmosphere at times of a uni-form temperature, we should never have rain,hail, or snow. The water absorbed by it inevaporation from the sea and the earth's sur-face would descend in an imperceptible vapor,or cease to be absorbed by the air when it wasonce fully saturated.

2. The absorbing power of the atmosphere,and consequently its capacity to retain humid-ity is proportionably greater in warm than coldair.

3. The air near the surface of the earth iswarmer than it is in the region of the clouds.The higher we ascend from the earth the cold-er do we find the atmosphere.

Hence the perpetual snow on all very highmountains in the hottest climate.

Now, when from continued evaporation, theair is highly saturated with vapors, though itbe invisible and the sky cloudless, if its tem-perature is suddenly reduced by cold currentsascending from above, or by the motion of asaturated air to a cold latitude, its capacity toretain moisture is diminished, clouds are form-ed, and the result is rain. Air condenses as itcools, and like a sponge filled with water andcompressed, pours out the water which itsdiminished capacity cannot hold. How singu-lar, yet how simS the philosophy of rain'.-What but Om iser tce could have deviaed suchan admirable 'arfngemeut for -atnrig t!.:eearth?
