The Oppressed Seamstress.
’ BY MRS. R. WRLMONT.
si Ji -
Some people seem to havo an idea tliat
■they pay too much for every thing, and it
is a positive duty to employ those who Will
work the cheapest.
Mrs. Ellsworth lived yery sumptuously,
arid her daughters dressed very elegantly.
We won’t call them.extravagant, because
people who lia vQ plenty of money aro uoto-j
bliged to give an aiccouritto their neighbors
of iheir expenditure. They were, however,
discussing the very subject themselves up
on the damask lounges, when the servant
man entered and presented the seamstress’s
bill. Such a nicely folded paper always
attracts the family’s'atteotion, and having
looked at the apd the amount, .ex
claimed,:
~ ‘ Dear me, how high !.D , : > /;
They Ahen proceeded to examine the
contents of the bundle which accompanied
the bill. - lol) ;i i -;>l. pi;*... •' v •
‘ The work is *ffone beautifully, ’ said
' Miss Henrietta i ‘ how superbly this laceis
'feet'on—how splendidly this is liemstitched.
I declare, mother, I never intend to do any
work myself again ; it is,,#o much better
than 1 can make it look. ’ j ,

Work-day Religion.

View of religion commends itself to every
one who desires to live a truly Christian
life.
“We want a religion that softens the
steps, and tunes the voice to melody, and
fills tho eye with sunshine, and checks the
impatient exclamation and harsh rebuke ;
a religion that is polite, deferential to su
■ periors, courteous to inferiors, and consul
-1 erate to friends ; a religion that goes into
a family, and the husband from be
ing Spiteful when dinner is late—keeps the
' wife from fretting wheo the husband tracks
the newrywashed floor with liis muddy boots
aud makes the husband mindful of the scra
per and the door-mat—keeps tho mother
1 patient when the baby is cross ; amuses
the children as well as instructs them ;
promptly looks after the apprentice'in the
shop, and the clerk behind the counter,
1 and the student in the office, with a fath
-1 erly care and motherly love, setting the
solitary in families; and introducing them
' to pleasant and wludesome society, that
their lonely feet may not he led into temp-;
tation. We want a religion that shall in
-1 terpose continually between the ruts and
I the gullies and rocks of the highway of life,
and, the sensitive souls that are travelling
* over them. 1

, Size of American Soldiers.
, The examination of the thousands of men
as soldiers, during tho present war, has
shown that there is no deterioration of the
European race on this continent. On thd
contrary, the examination has shown that
' the native born Americans are on an aver
• age, rather taller, with largest chests, and
of more robust constitution, than the for
eigners in the service, and jhe average
’ height and size of the American soldiers
’ exceed the qverage height and size of any
' European army;
Dr. J. H. Baxter, Chief Medical officer
. of the Provost Marshal General’s Bureau,
has compiled tablesuhowing the result of
the surgical examination of about 75,000
i recruits. These'tables are very ,ihteresting 1
and valuable, and we hope will lye extended
so as to include all the examinations made.
From these tables we learn that.itha aver-;
age height of all the men examined was 5
feet 6.44 inches. The highest average
' (Michigan men) was 5 feet 8 inches. The
greatest average measurement of the cheßt,
at inspiration, Wffs that of Jersoymen, 40.-
06 inenes, the greatest average measure-!
•j ment at the pv6oient of .expira(i'Qn wastha,t

Jersymen wero found more robust than tfie
soldiers of any other State, and in all re-!
spects they show a very high average.
Ladies Riding Sideway’s.
The introduction of this style of riding
on horseback is attributed to Anne of 80-j
hernia, consort of Richard 11. She It Was
(according to Stow,) who originally showed
the women of England how gracefully and
conveniently they might ride on horse
back sideways. Another old historian,
enumerating the fashions of- Richard II ’s
reign, observes : * Likewise noble ladies
then used high heads, and • corsets, and
robes with long train**, and se&to : dh side
saddles on their horses, by the example of
the reCpectfcble Queen Annie, daughter of
the Kiujg ,of Bataria, who' first introduced
the custom into the kingdom ; for before,

"' One of the necessary consequences of the
extension of education will be a far greater
variety ofaiiwiustrial pursuits. ,iilgnorance
was essential toYhe exisLincu of slavery,
aud this ignorance was iucninpatible with
the skill and intelligence reejuisite in the
construction aud management of machine
ry, and in all the mechanical operations;
Hence the devotion of Southern labor to
tho raising of rice, tobacco, cotton, - hemp,
and l other agricultural products. To these
pursuits the whites, as : well asj jbe bjacks,
were.mainjy devoted. No pretension could
be more ridiculous than that the while men
of the .South have scorned to labor; there;
as elsewhere, the great mass of the people
are poor, and must Work or starve. We
know 1 from personal observation that
throughout the South there has been no
difficulty in hiring thousands of white men

Lawrence once wrote a letter ot advice to
the people of Virginia, urging them to em

on the express ground that their iguorant
and unskilled labor would be- adapted to
this industry. But Abbott Lawrence un
derestimated the obstruction which slave
ry and its concomitants offered to even the
rudest mechanical pursuits, and it was
found impossible to follow liis advice.
Now all these obstructions are removed,
and no man can estimate the results ; he

To aid all this variqd industry'there will

Ariecdote of Dr. Nott of Union Col

When they arrived on the spot, one ascen

ed that the Doctor himself ,had just left the
b.ouse, with the view of securing the same
chickens for his Thanksgiving dinner. The
rogue under the tree hearing SQmk due ap
proaching, immediately crept away;' with
out notifying his comparnwn' ainong’ the

“ Pass him along,”' was the reply and lfo

The old map walked off in one direction

Cannon at Kiefrmond.
Government is rapidly dismantling the
fortifications at Richmond and Petersburg,
and shipping the Cannon, etc., to the
Washington and other Northern Navy
Yards and Arsenals,' The number of can
non, of all kinds, siege and field, is much
larger than originally .supposed. At oue
time four or five acre&at tjre landing below
Richmond were covered with cannon, cais
sons, aniiy wagons, etc.' Five vessel's were
at City Point and Richinond last week
loading with them, including the beautiful
Whitworth battery of rifled oast-steel
twelve pounders surrendered by Gen. Lee
at Burksville, Virginia,,which wa3 presen
ted to the rebels at the beginning of the
war, by sympathising friends in England.
Artillery officers pronounce it one of the
finest batteries in the world. : it will prob
ably be sent, with other Curious pieces to
West Point, as trophies, ■ At Petersburg,
just before its evacuation, many cannons
were biffied, and head boards put up at
each,end, to resemble soldiers’ graves.—
Tlie negroes, always loyal to the North,
immediately revealed the trick, and upward
of 100 field pieces have already been ex
humed. The amount of war material now
accumulated by government, both of Us
own manufacture and captured from the
rebels, is almost incredible. Speaking of
guns in wholesale way, an art,il.le% officer
lately intimated that the.canuQp, caissons,
ambulances, army wagons, etc., with their
teams, would make a column fodebing from
New York to California.
Decrease ofThe Indians..
The Indiaus dwelling within the United
■ States are fast disappearing from among
men. In 1850 there were 400,000 ; .ig.1855,
350,Q00, and the census of 1860 shows only
275,000. This is a decrease of 50,000 every
five years. The proportion of decrease is
steadily augmented.as the path *yf empire
takes its way westwards Not many 'years
will elapse, at this rate, before the Indian
savage will exist only in the history of
Schoolcraft, the prose fictiou .of Cooper,
and the poetry of Uougfellow. The civil
ized Indian flourishes hatter than the wild
one, for ill. the State of New York (the last
census saya) there are ! 3785 aborigines,
where as in Colorado onlv 6000 were left in
1860.
The piiii’cipal Indian populations are
distributed as follows : West of Arkansas,
