TIk keen alninfpliptc of ft Christmas
morning was sweeping over the western!
of London, when our story commences.?
If any observant person had been stirring
abroad so early, they rni^ht have heard the
plaintive chant of a chimney-sweep from '
a lofty house top, us lie struggled Gradual
ly towards the top of the flue. He mil ft
have been at .vork long before day-light
to have got so nearlv through his job at
that earlv hour. But as the faint rays of
the sun struggled with tho mist and fog of
a London morning, tho little laborer emer
ged weary ami dirty from the sceue of his
i labor*.
'Well,' said the boy, 'they do say as how
| St. Nicholas goes down these ere flues of
a Christmas morning, but he'd a got wed
i ged in there,-fclotv mo il lie wouldn't less
he hud been up to u sweep's tools.'
! The boy stretched his arms and
legs after the severe work he had just Ac
complished in ?o eonlr.icted a space, and
lookad about him to see the prospect from
iiis elevated position and even went down
, to tho gutter of the houso top, to look
down into the street be'.ow.
'My boss, that old cove as beats me anil
i drives me up these ere flues, will give me j
a regular rouser if I don't go down in no i
time; so here goes,' saying which he (
mounted the chimney to begin his des-;
cent.
Down, down went the little sweep,!
elianting his melodious though monoton-!
ous song, to while awav the dreariness of j
the work. Once or twice the boy paused .
as though a little surprised at something,
he saw, but his voice was heard again '
chanting on merrily as he proceeded,
j *My eyes!' exclaimed the little sweep, j
' (which by the way was abuut all of the
boy's face that could be disceinod at all
through the thick coat of smut that shroud-,
ed his features.) 'Mv eyes!' he repealed,
'if here ain't a go! Why, I'm bio wed if I
ain't gone and come down the wrong flue!!
What a jolly fine place this is?some
body's chamber! Well who'd a thought
| of such a thing?'
As the little fellow empraed from the
; fire-place, he found thai he hml come j
.down probably the flue of the next house
to that which he had nscended. The a
partment into which he had em'T^pd was j
indeedra splended one; but to the lnexpe-j
riencedeye it looked like enchantment.?
Everything so rich clean and comfortable..
In his wildest moments of imagination he .
had ipver. dreamed:of"puclftfnr);. He .
pulse was again to ascend,
'Blow me, if I didn't think I was com
ing down the 'wrong flue when I was up
there,' he said musingly.
Then he reasoned that if he went hack
; he would get .a thrashing for being cone
: so long, or if his mistake was discovered
by his master, he would bB whipped lor
1 that. He had been robbed of half a night's
? sleep in order to accomplish this very job;
! lie was tired?very tired.
j * What a jolly fine sleeping a cove might'
got in that ere hod; My eyes! how soft it
: is,' continued the sweep, as he laid his
i hand upon tho soft white counterpane,
and left thereupon un imprint of soot.
It was a temptation too polont for his
weary limbs! Ho was tired and sleepy;
he thought ho would just lie down for a
moment to see how sucli ?i bed would
feel. But hardly hod the poor boy realized
the luxury of-a soft featherbed before na
ture asserted her rights and he slept:?
What a dream that poor boy had ! Cmi
we describe it ?
He dreamed he was in paradise, and soft
music sounded in his ears, and food dbhn
ilant, luscious and refreshing, was by his
side. A gentle hand smoothed the hair
from his forehead, and kissed him! How
his heart beat; a kiss. He didn't recollect!
of ever beinj* kissed before. He had seen
kind folks kiss little chi'dren; but an angel
had kissed him now. He was clothed in
| his dream in clothes ns white and spotless
' as those on which he was lying; and an ex
quisite sense of refreshed powers stole ,
over him.
But while the boy lay thus in dreamy
forget fulness, the mistress of the house
entered. Scarcely able to suppress the
usiunishment that possessed her, she vet
reasoned upon the matter, and tracing bv I
the boy's tracks from the chimney-place
the fact that he had decendud the flue, she
evnn guessed \he truth of his mistake, and I
with a heart full of kindness on this Christ-1
mas morning, she determined to turn the |
event into one of real happiness.
When the little sweep awoke, some j
three hours after having thrown himself,
down to sleep, he-felt frightened at his j
own audacity, and crept trembling from !
the bed to the centre of the room. Buti
scarcely had he shown 'signsof being
awake, before the stout housemaid, eta-1
tinned there for the purpose, seized him j
by\ ^e arm and said:
| 'Here, you blackamoor, missus says you j
j are to be washed, and muster has pent
these clothes home for you. So cornoj
ahing to the bath-room, and don't stand j
t In re staring as though you saw a ghost.' |
All this was Greek to the poor sweep;
anil half undecided whether he was to be I
1 iiiMilsltfcl for something he had done, or
I wlirtlier tint proposed bath was intended j
j us a kindness,.^* boy yielded himself lip
I tn the staid old housekeeper, who doused |
1 Inn headlong into a bath tub, and then j
l.wiped him so thoroughly with a coarso
; rrash towel tliul his flesh burned for an '
hi'rtr.afterwards.
| 'Well, I declare,' said tho? housekeeper,!
(surveyingthe youg sweep, n.fter ilte soHii
l was completely removed from his head
mid fare, and the neck of /he. boy was eu?
! circled by a clean linen shirt, *jf this itcre
J ain't almost a miracle. Why, tlie boy -is j

S matron resolved to prepare
Them a pleasant surpr.se in the ma I"
or the little sweep who had come into
her house in such a sln^r non^
?f But Mrs. Howland was as mm* sur
nrised as any one, when just alter the
Christina's dinner, the ^ i
brought the boy intotheroom. W??0,

trimmed by a barber, a nice suit of r''.a"
clothes and linen shirt collar put on him,
and he had further been refreshed by a
nice dinnerol beef and veBetahles,am a;
"up of such coffee as lie thought he
should remember forever. . !
? Why, what a handsome boy lie is, j
exclaimed hall a dozen voices at once. |
?You should have seen him as he laid (
sleeping in my room,' said Mrs. How ^
land, 'he was black as Ihe ace of spades |
?He's as clcan as a pin, now,' sugges-,
ted one. '
? What can you say for yoursell, my
little lellowl' asked Mr. Howland. |
?Nothing;' replied ihe boy demurely.
?Guess he can sing,' suggested the
house-keeper; 'all sweeps sing. 1
?Oh, let us hear him sing, by all
means. A song, a song!'
The boy could sing, for tile old fel
lows Who employ the little sweeps j
taught them songs and knew their .-ale
while in Hie lines bv their songs. And
thus urged Ihe boy sang one or t wo rude
chants; until at last lie struck into one'
that he seemed rather at a loss to pive
any definite words to, but the air of,
which he gave with great beauty and
correctness. . ..
The song seemed to thrill to the very ,
heart of Mrs. Howland, and her bus- ,
band watched her lace while ,t was in

During the conversation Mrs. How
land had taken the boy's hand |n thi. ut
most trepidation,and leading, hi in haiti
IV to the light, parted back his h? r,
li om the right temple, and finding there
a deep scar almost screamed to her hus ,

?This is it, it is William, our long
lust-chili!' ,!
Six- yearf before this period Mr. and
Mm. Howland had lost their only child,
a boy ol some three years of age, |
had been dressed quite expensively, and
with manv ornaments about his ill
person, the child had been lelt by a
servant fot a single .moment, expos j
at the door, and had been carr.edoff by<\
some thief, and by a strange thread ol
circumstances, had been brought up a
little sweep, and now Providence tad
sent it back to its parents as a Christ

Expanding the Chest.
Those in easy circumstances, or who
pursue sedentary employment within
doors use their lungs but little, breathe
but little air into the cheat, anil thus,
Independently ol position, contract a
wretchedly small chest, and lay the
foundation of the loss ol health and beau
ty. All this can be perfectly obviated
by a little attention to the manner of
breathing. Recollect the lungs are like
a bladder in-their structure and can be
stretched open to double the size with
perfect safety,giving a noble chest with
perfect immunity Irom consumption.
The agent, and only agent required
is the common air we breathe, suppo
sing however, that no obstacle exists, ex
ternal to the chest such as tyingit a
round with stays, or having the shoul
ders lie upon it. On rising Irom the bed
in the morning, place yourself in au e.
reel poslnre,-shoulders thrown entirely
olF the. chest; now inhale all the air you
can, so as to fill your chest to the very
bottom of it so tint no-more can begot
in; now hold your breath and throw
your nrms behind?hold your breath as
long as possible. Repeat those long
breaths as long as you please.?
Done in a cold room is much better, be
cause the'air.is so much denser., anil
will act. much more powerjulty in ex
, r .ling the chest. Exercising trie chest
in this manner, it will become flexible
lanil .expansive, arid wjlI.exlaige'the ca
pacity and size of the lungs.

As when below she lay upon my,breast;
I would dieam of her, as a bud in Heaven,
Amid the blossoihs blest.
My little one ! She was a folded lilly,

Alas! ire could not save.

A simple baby fair.

The Red Mao.
A correspondent of the Chronicle,
writing from Buffalo N. Y. mentions the
following interesting and encouraging
lacts respecting a tribe of this unhappy
race, residing in western -New l'ork.
"I think that in my correspondence
with you, 1 have referred to the Tona
wanda Indians, residingon Reservation
a few miles norlh-east ol the city.?
Rev. A. Warren, a Baptist clergyman,
has labored for several years with them
as a missionary; and this gentleman had
the happiness, a short time since, ol
preaching the ordination sermon at the
setting apart of Nicholas Smith, an
Indian, to (he work of the ministry.?
Though having an imperfect use ol Ihe
English language, Bro. S. is impressive
and eloquent in his own, and, aided by
Ihe Divine Spirit, may twang the bow
and let fly the '-arrows ol truth" with
unerring aim. Let it be the prayer ol
all, that he may be instrumental in build
ing up the little native church al Tona
wanda. ?"
While upon Ihe subject of these In
dians, I may as well mention the inte
resting fact t hat measures have recently
been taken to more generally and
thoroughly educate the youth of the j
tribe. The committee appointed by (he I
Convention to superintend affairs al Ihe !
Mission Station, met at the house ol the
native Church, and alter some prelim
inary exercises, in which Mr. Osborn,
the Indian Agent, and the natives them-1
selves participated, the nation was di
vided into two school districts, and trus- ?

managed five months annually, by Mr.
Newton I'arker, a member of a well
educated family, and brother ol the
grand Sachem oflhis place. A sister,
.Miss Caroline I'arker, is a student in the
Normal School at Albany, and is said to
be outstripping most of her companions.
She is filling hersell to become an in

This new movement, to more thoroughly !
educatc the Tonawandas, is made from
the necessities of the case. Tlieir jux
taposition, on all sides, to highly culti- ^

that they should become filled to trans

The following in regard to the oarly
history of William Wirt, is interest
ing?hut whether it iB reliable, we are
unable to say. It is from the JCew
York Picayune:
"In the early career of Mr. Wirt
lie was addicted to intemperato habits,
and was, as every friend supposed, a
vory.hopeloss, irreclaimable man.?
He was abandoned by almost every
friend,, and was so reduced, that his
prosenco was objectionable ill , the
meanest establishments where rum
was sold'. On a certain occasion he
had become so grossly intoxicated,
that lie foil Iipgn tlie, floor of a rum
hole insensible. The proprietor very
coolly dragged him out of the placo,
and laid him nl full length on theedge
of the side-walk. It was in the city
of Richmond, Va. The day was ex
cessively warm, and the rays of the
sun fell exactly upon the inebriate,
who was totally unconscious of his
situation. A young ladv was passing
the spot, and on noticing the exposed
situation of Mr. Wirt; stopped, spread
hor handkcrchipf over bis face, and
passed on. When Mr, Wirt became
partinlly sensible of bis situation, a
few hours afterwards, lie discovered
tbo handkerchief, and the initials up
on it made him aware to whom it bo
longed. That-kind act made him a
reformed man, lor ho found that there
was one living being thntwas inter
ested in his lute. Iii after years,when
Mr. Wirt bail risen to an eminent po
sition, and was a candidate for the
Presidency' of the United .States, we
! mot him and his gifted lady?(the i
Identical young woman who managed
the handkerchief business' when Mr.
(Wirt wus in the 44 gmg" trade)?and
she never regretted her choice, and
Mr. Wirt never drunk more.
