Here they live-barely live-in holes almost as hot as the hot corn, the cry of which rang in our ears from dark till midnight. "Hot corn! hot corn! here's your naie hot corn," rose up in a faint, child like voice, which seemed to have been aroused by the sound of our step as we were about entering the Park, while the pity clock told the hour when ghosts go forth upon their midnight rambles. We started, as though a spirit had given as a rap, for the sound seemed to come out of one of the iron posts which stand as sentinels over the main en trance, forbidling all vehicles to enter, unless the driver takes the trouble to pull up and tumble out of the way, one of the aforesaid posts, which is riot of ten done, because one of them often, if notalways is out of its place, giving free ingress Ao the court-yard, or livery stable grounds of the City Hall. which. in consideration of the growth of a few miserable dusty brown trees and doubt fol colored grass-patches, we call the Park. Looking over the post we discoverel the owner of the hot corn cry, in the pe ron of an emaciated little girl about twedve years old, whose dirty frock was nearly the color of the rusty iron, and whose face, hands and feet, naturally white and delicate, were grimmed with dirt until nearly of the same color. There were two white streaks running down from the soft blue eyes, that told of thh hot scalding tears that were coursing their way over that naturally beautiful face. "Some corn, sir," lisped the little sufferer, as she saw we had stopped to look at her, hardly daring to speak to one who did not address her in rough tones of command, such as " give me some corn, you little wolf's whelp." or a name still more opprobrious both to herself and mother. Seeing we had no look of contempt for her, she said. piteously. " Please buy some corn, sir." "No, my dear, we do not wish any; it is not very healthy in such warm weather as this, and especially so late it night." 'Oh dear, then, what shall I dot" 'Why, go home. It is past midnight. and such little girls you ought not to be in the streets of this bad city at this time of night." *I can't go home--and I am tired add sleepy. Oh dear." "Cannot go home! Why not?" "Oh, sir, my mother will whip me if I go home without selling all my corn.

Heidsieck, or Lager-bier, poured down the hot throats of men-and ah, yes, of women, too, whose daughters may some day sit at midnight upon the cold curbstone cry ing " Hot corn," to gain a penny for the purchase of a drink of the fiery dragon they are now inviting to a home in their bosoms, whose cry in after years i will be. "Give. give. give," and still as unsatisfied as the horse leech's daugh ters! Again, as we passed on up that street, still busy and thronged at midnight. as a countrv village at midday intermis Sion of church service, ever and anon from some side street came up the cry of " hot corn-hot corn !" and ever as we heard it. and ever as we shall through all rears to come, we thought of that little girl and her drunken mother, and "bad man" at the corner grocery, and that her's was the best, the strongest Maine Law arguments which had ever fallen upon our listening ear. Again, as we turned the corner of Spring street the glare and splendor of a thousand gas lights, and the glitter ing cut glass of that, for the first time lighted up bar-room of the "'Prescott House," so lauded by the press for its magnificence, dashed our eyes and al most blinded our senses to a degree of imagination that first class hotels must have such Five Point denizen-making appurtenances, as this glittering room. shamelessly open inviting to the street; when that watch word cry, like the pibroch's startling peal. came up from the near vicinity, wailing like a lost spirit on the midnight air--'Hot corn, hot corn-here's your nice hot corn smoking hot-hot-hot corn." " Yes, yes!" I hear you cry-it is a watchword-a glorious watchword, that bids us to do or die-until the smoking hot, fiery furnate-like gates of hell. like this one now yawning before us. shall cease to be licensed by a Chris tian people, to send delicate little girls at midnight through the streets crying "Hot corn."to support a drunken moth er. whose first glass was taken in a "fashionable saloon," or first class li quor-selling hotel. "Hot corn," then be the watchword Sf all who would rather see the grain feet to the drunkard's wife and children. than into the insatiable hot maw of the whisky still. Let-your resolutions grow hot and strong every time you hear this mid night city cry, that you wilt devote, if nothing more, "Three grains of corn, mother, Only three grains of corn," towards the salvation of the thousand equally pitiable objects as the little girl. whose wailing cry has been the inciting cause of this present dish of " Hot corn-smoking hot !" The Ulbrella Girl. A young girl, the only daughter of a poor widow, removed from the country to Philadelphia to earn her living by covering umbrellas. She was very handsome: with glossy black hair,. large beaming eyes, and " lips like wet coral." She was jnst at that suscepti ble age when youth is ripening into womanhood, when the soul bezins to be pervaded by "that restless princi ple. which impels poor humans to seek perfection in union.'" At a hotel near the store for which she worked, an English traveller called Lord Henry Stuart, had taken lodgings. He was a strikingly handsome man, and of princely carriage. As this dis tinguished stranger passed to and from his hotel, he encountered the umbrella girl, and was attracted by her uncom mon beauty. He easily traced her to the store, where he soon after went to purchase an umbrella. This was fol lowed up by presents of flowers, chats by the way side, and invitations to walk or ride ; all of whicn was gratefully ac cepted by the unsuspecting rustic for she was as ignorant of the dangers of a city as were the squirrels of her native fields. He was merely playing a game for temporary excitement; she, witha head full of romance, and a heart melt ing under the influence of love, was unqesciously endangering the happi nesss'f her whole life. Lord Henry invited her to visit the public gardens on the Fourth of July. In her simplicity of heart, she believed all his flattering professions, and con sidered herself his bride elect; she therefore accepted the invitation with innocent frankness. But she had no dress fit to appear in on such a public occasion, with a gentleman of high rank, whom she verily supposed to be her destined husband. While these thoughts revnlved in her mind, her eyes was unfortunately attracted by a beautiful piece of silk, belonging to her employer. Could she not take it, with. oet being seen, and pay for it secretjy, when she bad earned money enough? The temltation conquered her in a mo ment of weakness. She concealed the silk, and eoweyed it to her lodgings. It was lte first thing she had ever stolen, and her remorse was painful. She ' Uldn have carried it back, but she dreade4 discovery. She was not sure that herrepentance would be met in a spirit of forgivenes. On the evenafol Fourth of July, she .eame net is rr ewdress Lord Hen ry ouuli ar pop her elegant appe q alt e. be pot happy. On tbehir' ito the gardes he talked to het' in a neur whijeb -be did not edapishab. ?Ur ae gibi bespoke ···~nw`idir~ 4~~Jiº "~ with mournful reproach, and burst into tears. The noble man took her hand kindly and said, " My dear, are you an inno cent girl ?" " I am, I am," she replied, with con vulsive sobs. "Oh. what have I ever done, or said, that you should ask me such a question ?" The evident sincerity of her words stirred the deep fountains of his better nature. "' If you are innocent," said he, "God forbid that 1 should make you otherwise. But you accepted my invi tations and presents so readily, that I supposed you understood me." " What could I understand." said she. "except that you intended to make me your wife ?" Though reared amid the proudest distinctions ot rank. he felt no inclina tion to smile. He blushed and was si lent. The heartless conventionalitiev of the world stood rebuked in the pre sence of affectionate simplicity. He conveyed her to her humble home, and bade her fare~well. with a thankful con sciousness that he had done no irre trievable injury to her future prospects. The remembrance of her would soon be to him as the recollection of last year's butterflies. With her, the wound was deep. In the solitude of her cham ber she wept in bitterness of heart over her ruined air-castles. Aud that dress, which she had stolen to make an ap pearance befitting his bride! Oh, what if she should be discovered t And would not the heart of her poor widowed mother break, if she should ever know that her child was a thief? Alas, her wretched torebodings prov ed too true. The silk was traced to her; she was arrested on her way to the store and dragged to prison. Tnere she refused all nourishment, and wept incessantly. On the fourth day. the keeper called upon Isaac T. Hopper, and informed him that there was a young girl in prison who appeared to be utterly friendless and determined to dtie by starvation. The kind hearted friend immediately went to her assis tance. He found her lying on the floor of her cell, with her face buried in her hands, sobbing as if her heart would break. He tried to comfort her, but could obtain no answer. " Leave us alone." said the Quaker. "Perhaps she will speak to me, if there is no one to hear." When they were alone together, he put back the hair from her temples, laid his haul kindly on her beautiful head, and said in soothin, tones, "My child, consider me as thy father. Tell me all thon hast done. If thou hast tak "n this silk, let me know all about it. I will do for thee as I would for my own daughter; and I doubt not I can help thee out of this difficulty." Alter a long time spent in affection ate entreaty, she leaned her youn, head on his friendly shoulder. and sob. bed out, "Oh, I wish I was dead. What will my poor mother say when she knows of my disgrace?" '" Perhaps we can manage that she never shall know it." replied he. Al luring her by this hope, he gradually obtained from her the whole story of her acquaintance with the nobleman. He bade her be comforted, and take nourishment; for he would see that the silk was paid for, and the prosecution withdrawn. He went immediately to her employ er, and told him the story. "This is her first offence," said he. "The girl is young, and she is the only child of a poor widow. Give her a chance to retrieve this one false step, and she may be restored to society, a useful and honored woman. I will see that thou art paid for the silk." The man readily agreed=to withdraw the prosecution, and said he would have dealt otherwise by the girl, if he had known all the cir cumstances. "Thou shouldn't have in quired into the merits of the case." re plied Friend Hopper. "By this kind of thoughtlessness many a young crea ture is driven into the downward path, who might easily have been saved." The kind-hearted man next proceed ed to the hotel, and with Quaker sim plicity of speech inquired for Henry Stuart. The servaal aid his lordship had not yet risen. .Tell him my busi ness is of importance," said Friend Hopper. The servant soon returned and conducted him to the chamber. The nobleman appeared surprised thcat a stranger, in the plain Quaker costume,. should thus intrude upon his luxurious privacy. When he heard his errand, he blushed deeply, and frankly admit. ted the truth of the girl's statement. His besevolent visitor took the opportu. nity to "bear a testimony " against the selfishness and sin of profligacy. He did it in such a kind and fatherly man ner, that the young man's heart was touched. He excused himself, by say ing that he would not have tampered with the girl if he had known her to be virtuous. "I have done many wrong things," said he, '" but, thank God, no betrayal of confiding innocence weighs on my conscience. I have always es teemed it the basest act of which man is capable." The imprisonment of the poor girl, and the forlorn situation in which she had been found, distressed him greatly. When Friend Hopper re presented that the silk had been stolen for htis sake, that the girl had thereby lest profitable employment, and was obliged to return to her distant home, to avoid the danger of exposure, he took out a fifty dollar note and offered it to pay her expenses. "Nay. friend," said Isaac, "thou art a very rich man, I presame. I see in thy hand a large roll of uach notes. She is hOp daugh.er of apoor widow, and theu hast been the meas of. doing her great injury. Givp poe anotleir.n Lorid henry handed him a·ether ifty dolar note, and smsled as he sd, "Ye sadmertad )or buioess well - But you have acted nobly, and I rever ence you for it. II you ever visit Eng land, come and see me. I will give you a cordial welcome, and treat you like a nobleman." " Farewell, friend," replied the Qua ker. "Though much to blame in this affair, thou hast behaved nobly. Mvlayst thru be blessed in domestic life. arind trifle no more with the feelings of poor gills r not even with those whom others have betrayed and deserted." When the girl was arrested, she had sufficient presence of mind to assume a false name, and by that means her true name had been kept out of the newspapers. "I did this." said she " for my poor mother's sake." With the money ,riven by Lord Stuart the silk was paid for, and she was sent home to her mother well provided with clothing. Her name and place of resi dence forever remained a secret in the breast of her benefactor. Years after these event transpired, a lady called at Friend Hopper's house, and asked to see him. When he en tered the room, he found a handsomely dressed young matron, with a blooming boy of five or six years old. She rose quickly to meet him, and her voice choked as she said, " Friend Hopper, do you know me " He replied that he dlid not. She fixed her tearful eyes earnestly upon him and said. " You oice helped me when in great distress." But the good missionary had helped too many in distress to be able to recol;ect har without more precise information. With a tremulous voice, she bade her son go into the next room fora few min iltes; then. dropping on her knees, she hid her face in his lap, and sobbed out, • I am the girl who stole the silk. Oh, where should i now be if it had not been for you !" When her emotion was somewhat calmed, she, told him that she had mar. ried a highly respectable man, a Sena tor of his native State. Being on a visit in Friend Hopper's vicinity, she had again and again passed his dwell ir:g, looking wistfully at the windows to catch a sight of him: but when she attempted to enter her courage failed. " But I must return home to-morrow," said she, "and I could not go away without once more seeing and thank ing him who saved me from ruin." She recalled her little boy, and said to him, " Look at him and remember him well: for he was the best friend your mother ever had." With an earnest invitation to visit her happy home. and a fervent God bless you !" she bade her benefactor farewell. I I II• I I II I DRY G(i)J))S, &c. New Spring Goods.
