concert recently giveu in connection
with a Working; M> n's Association in

little girl len years of-age, vyjio called
at his house during tho .social .science !
week, when Lord Brougham, Lord
John Russell, and other di-.tinguishod
personages were his guests. 'Polly'
for that was the Kiri's name-asked to
. seo Lord John Russell-, and when she
was shown into tb<= room to "his lord- j
chip, in a modest, but frank and win?
ning manner, she told bow she had a
taste for music, and that she wished to
be educated, but that her parents were
poor, and could not afford to ?live her
that kind of training which would
best develop her musical talent. Lord
John was please! with the child,
pleased with tho beauty of her singinc
-for she sann-several snugs before tlie
great people - niel ultimately Lady
Russell declared that she would most!
willingly contribute towards tho ex?
pense, it" Mr. Brown would see that
'polly' was suitably educated. The
result was, that site was now at D'.ack
hurne House, receiving, as good an
education as anv gentleman's daugh?
ter in tho land; and they were glad to
receive her there without fcc or reward.
The music master reported most favor
ably of her great aptitude foV music;
and, from the formation of her vocal
organs, she bade fair to he a famous
songstress-JU prinin. donna, perhaps,
who, by her beauty (tor she was beKU
ttful, too,) and her t>ot;g, .would some
day win a diadem.

Women of Lima.
..They are constantly about during
the day and evening, in their graceful
j costumes. The saya manta, about
! which so much Las been said, is not
worn much nowadays, though I oc
I casvoaally 6aw it. The women, how
i ever, almost universally wear the shawl
upon the head, muffling up the face,
and sometimes concealing everything
j but one eye, which however does more
? than double duty. The ladies seem
! to he inveterate shoppers, and are evn
; dently fond o? gadding about. They
! dress very gaily in rich French silks
j and satins, and look in the streets.
! with their shawls drawn over their
I heads, as if they had just, stepped out
! of a carriage, and were in time for a
nart$\ They are not all so diary of
showing their faces; as those 1 saw
were exceedingly pretty, I very sagely
inferred if there were any ugly women
.in Lima, they were among those who j
.did not venture to disclose their fea?
tures. I iiad a shrewd suspicion that
the saya manta was the disguise for
old age and departed charms. The
women luve wondrously small feet,
and they wear prettily embroidered
slippers, ?it for fairies to trip io. They
are most devout church goers; iar
ahead, in this respect, as the women
with us, of the opposite sex. They
may be seen every morning and even?
ing moving towards the churches, of
which Lima is full, most coquettishly
dressed, in the finest of silk shawls
and the glossiest of satin gowns, fol?
lowed sometimes by a smartly dressed
i negro servant girl, at others by a negro
boy in showy livery, carrying a carpet
1 rug of many colors hanging OD the
arm, as a fine lady in England, wh . :&
righteous as well as rich, may be seen
on a Sunday with Yeilowplush at her
heels, carrying the golden-leaved
prayer-book. If you follow the Lima
nese beauty to church, (and you may
do 60 without fear of offence, for she,
will ogle and coquet with you a9 much
as; you please,) you will see the ser -
vant spread the rug upon the cold
stone pavement and the lady kneel
down or lounge alternately upon it as
the service may require, always giving
you a most inviting look with her
pretty black eyes.
The women are certainly pretty;
their beauty is of a sleepy, voluptu ?
ous' kind, and they are undoubtedly
intriguing and licentious. They have
none of the espi?glerie of the French
beauty; though they have bright eyes,
the general expression of their faces is
heavy and lifeless. The Coiffeur de
Paris, at Lima, who cut my hair and
trimmed my whiskers, "and had a per?
fect bijou of a shop, looking like a
Parisian lady's boudoir, and was as
talkative as a barber need be, was no
believer in the beauties of Lima, but
dwelt with infinite satisfaction upon
the recollection of the petites femmes
de Paris. Ah, exclaimed he, rnptur
ously, as he paused from bis work and
raked in a fit of enthusiasm, his scis?
sors high in the air, 4 Ah, que les gri
setles de Paris sont sublimes/'
The Limanese women are inveterate
smokers. It is no uncommon sight,
however startling the fact may appear
to those vaporish ladies who would
'die of a rose, in aromatic pain,' not to
say anything of the possible effect of
the remote odor of au Havana, it is
no uncommon sight to see a pretty,
delicate-looking Limanese lady, pur?
chasing at the open cig;ir booths vigor?
ous cigars, such as wou'd stagger the
nerves of some of our most robust
male smokers. And they smoke them,
too; the ladies do not go about the
streets smoking, but like knowing
smokers take a quiet puff at home,
while the more common women may
bo constantly seen blow'.ng at enor?
mous cigars as they walk about the
streets.
THE CUP OF TEARS.-There wa3
once a mother and a child, and the
mother loved her only child with all
the affection of her whole heart, and
thought she could not live without it;
but the Al mighty sent a great sickness
among child ret, which seized this
little one, who lay on its sick bed,
even unto death. Three day9 and
three night-? the mother watched and
wept, and prayed by tho side of her
Raiding child, but it died. The mother,
now left alone in the wide world,
?ave way to the most violent and un?
speakable grief, she ate nothing and
3rank nothing, and weptTor th ree long
lights without ceasing, calling con
?tautly upon her child. The third
3ight, aa she thus sat overcome with
-idle-ring in the place where her cbiI3.
lad diea-, her eyes bathed in tears and
hint from grief,, the door softly opened,
ind the mother started, for before tier
?toed her departed child. It had be
tome a heavenly angeL and smiled
iweetly as innocence, and was beaut:?
ul liks the blessed. It had in its
land a small cup that was almost run
ring over, so full it was. And tiie
diilJ snoke: "O! dearest mother, weep
io more for nie; the angel in rnourn
ng has,collected in this little cup the
ears which you have shed for me. If
br me you shed but one tear more it
viii overflow, and I shall hive no
nore rest in the grave, no joy in
leaven! Therefore, 0 dearest, mo: ber!
veep no more for your child; for it is
/'-ll and happy, add angel? aro it?
o m panions. It then vanished. .
Tho mother shed no more tear?,
hat she might not disturb her child's
est in the grave, its joy in Heaven,
."or th<j sake of her infant's happiness,
he controlled the anguish of her heart.
