It was a Utile studio, quite at the top of
the house. Upon the easel that occupied
the post of honor in the middle of the
room, a large piece of canvass glowed
with the soft ti., of a Spring landscape.

a sort of inspiration.
In a comfortable easy chair by the door
sat a plump, rosy, little female, in a laee

with on enthusiastic sparkle in his eyes.
" just'see the way the sunset light touches
the top-most branches of the old apple
tree. I like the brown subdued gold of
that tint ; it somehow reminds rue of Grace
Teller's hair."
Mrs. Seymour moved uneasily in her
chair.
" Yes, it's very pretty : but it strikes
me, Frank, you are lately discovering a
good many similitudes between Miss Teller
and your pictures.''
Frank laughed good humoredly.
" Well, mother, she is pretty."'
Yes, 1 don't deny that she is pretty-enough."
" Now. mother, what's the meaning of
that anibiguous tone?"' demanded the
vouner artist nleasantlv. " What have you
discovered about Miss Grace Teller that
isn't charming and womanly and lovely."
"Frank, do you know who she is?"
Yes. I know that she is a remarkably
pretty girl, with a voice that sounds exact
ly like the low soft ripple of the rivulet
where I used to play when I was a boy."

per that she might have been different un
der different circumstances. Grace Teller
was a lovely blonde, with large blue eyes,
rosy " leaf kin, and hair whose luminous
gold fell over her forehead like an aureola.
As Mrs. Seymour entered, a deeper
shade of pink stole over Grace's beautiful
eheek, but otherwise she was calm and
self-possessed, and readily parried the old
lady's interrogatories.
" Very warm this morning." said the old
lady, fanning herself. " Do they have as
warm weather, where you came from, Miss
Teller."
I believe it is very sultry in Factory
ville," said Grace, composedly, taking
another needleful of wlute silk.
' Factory ville ? Is that your native
place ? Perhaps you know Mr. Parker
Cynthia Parker's father who is superin
tendent in the great calico mills there ?:'
" Very well. I have often seen him."
" Are you acquainted wiih Cynthia?"
'' No. I believe Miss Parker spends most
of her tune in this city."
" That's very irue," said Mrs. Seymour,
sagely ; Cynthia says there sno company j
worth having in Factory villc only the j
girls that work in the factory ; Cynthia is !
very genteel. But excuse my curiosity,
Miss Teller how did you become ac
quainted with Mr. Parker and not with Lis
daughter?''
Grace colored.
'Business brought me in contact fre
quently with the gentleman of whom you
sneak, but I never happened to meet his
daughter."
Mrs. Seymour gave a little shirt in her
chair she was beginning to see through
the mystery.
" Perhaps" yon. have something to do
with the calico factory?"
" I have," said. Grace with calm dignity.
" A factory girl," gasped Mrs. Seymour,
growing red and white.
ls there any disgrace in the title?"
quickly asked Grace, although her own
cheeks were dyed crimson.
'Disgrace! Oh, no certainly not;
there's no harm in earning one's living in
an Honorable way, ' returned vi.;s. fcey

anticipating the flag of
triumph she was about to wave over him.
' I do not hesitate to confess." went on
Grace, looking Mrs. Seymour full in the
eyes, that to the factory I owe my daily
bread."
"Very laudable, I'm sure." said the obi
lady, growing a little uneasy under the
clear blue gaze, " only there are steps,

Mary came over to Grace's side and

Mrs. Seymour was the first guest to ar

first Wednesday evening in July ihe fact

griefs to Mr?.. Randall's sympathetic ear.
" Crying? Yes. of coarse I've been cry

"Mercy upon us," said Mrs. Randall,
elevating her kid gloved hands. " what is

"My dear," said the old lady in a mys
terious whisper. Frank has been entrapped,
inveigled into the most dreadful entangle
ment. Did you ever fancy that he the
most fastidious and particular of created
beings, could be resolutely determined on
marrying a factory girl?"
Mrs. Randall uttered an exclamation of
horrified surprise, and at the same moment
a party of guests were announced, among
whom was Miss Grace. Teller.

"Well, then, if you are net satisfied with
my description of her as she is, would you
like to know what she will be ?"
Mrs. Seymour looked puzzled.
" Mother. I think she vail one day be
come my wife."
" Frank ! Frank ! are you crazy ?"
" Not that I know of," said Mr. Seymour,
composedly, squeezing a little deep blue
upon his palette out of a dainty tin tube,
and mixing it thoughtfully."
" Yfe know so little about her." thought
Mrs. Seymour. " To be sure she is visit
ing Mary Elton, and Mary belongs to a
very good family, if she d ies live ia half a
house, and take in fine embroidery for a
living. But then she has no style at all,
compared with Cynthia Parker, and Cyn
thia always did fancy our Frank. Then,
moreover, the has five or six thousand
dollars of her own. But, dear me 1 a
young man in love is the most headstrong
creature alive."
Mrs. Seymour mused a while longer, and
then put on her mouse-colored silk bonnet
and gray shawl, and set out upon a
tour of investigation."
" I'll fiud out something about Miss Tel
ler, or I'll know- the reason why," thought
the indefatigable widow.
Miss Grace Toiler was at home, helping
Mary Elton in an elaborate piece of fine
embroidery. The room where the two
girls sat was very p'ain. carpeted with the
finest ingrain, and curtained with very or
dinary pink and white chintz, yet it looked
snug and cherry, for the fat black-bird was
chirping noisily in the . window, and a
stand of mignionetle and yener
pansies gave a delightful tint to this pretty
picture of everyday life.
Mary Elton was pale, thin, and not at
all pretty .j-.there -was a .tremulous sweet-
companion," she murmured,
quite lost without her Mrs. Seymour."
The old lady took her leave siitlly and
did not ask Grace to return her call, al
though she extended an invitation to
Mary, couched in the politest and most
distant terms.
" Frank !" she ejaculated.- never once
stopping to remove shawl or bonnet, and
burst into the studio like an express mes
senger of life and death news : who do you
sttppose your paragon of Miss Teller i. V"
" The loveliest other sex." returned
Frank, briefly and comprehensively.
" A factory girl !" screamed the old lady,

& " YvVll. what of that?"
"What of that? Frank Seymour, you

any tiling to say to a common laciory

' I should pronounce her a very uncom

with aggravating calmness.
" Frank do.", jest with m--" pleaded the
poor little mother, with tears iu her eye.'.
Tell me at once that you will give up ail
this fancy for a girl who is in no way equal

" No she is in no respect my equal."

And so the golden twilight faded into a

These oflener occur from dust in the bur

It has been assumed bv an eminent
author, and I believe not satisfactorily
controverted by any. that labor is the unit
or measure of all commodities, or in other '
words till acquired values. The natural
resultant of this important truth or asser
tion is, that labor is the basis of all civili
zation. Hence the nation containing Ihe
great est number of laborers and the great
est proportional amount of exchangeables
taken in the aggregate must be the most
wealthy, considered financially, and ought
to be the most powerful and influential.
Instead of the latter being the case, we
find that unnatural relations of labor and
capital have frequently reduced the stan
dard of greatness and excellence to the
lowest level. Where laborers are intelli
gent, skillful, and protected in all their
natural rights, the nation iu proportion to
numbers possesses both moral and phys
ical force, and the respect and admiration
of every other people. It is also apparent
that whatever debases the laborer degrades
the nation, and permanent and increasing
prosperity implies augmentation of the
skill, intelligence, number and importance
of the laboring mass. If the records of the
past and the present position of the differ
ent nationalities do not disprove these as
sumptions, what ought to be the course of
all classes of true Americans when each is
a portion of the sovereignty, seems to me
both plain and evident. Ikmce the ques
tion that has latterly produced some ex
citement and discussion wiih reference to
Chinese seems to me to merit something
more than a passing notice. Has the
American laborer nothing to fear from the
inundation of our shores with tens of thou
sands upon tens of thousands of the very
dregs of the Mongolian race, issuing from
that dense hive of population where for
centuries the extreme avarice of the gov
erning lew has reduced hundreds ot mil
lions to the lowest worst possible condi
tion? In no other country is the discrep
ancy between labor and its just reward so
great, and it is the universal verdict of all
travelers that in none other are they in
such a state of total depravity and wretch
edness. A late author that has traveled
more than any other living American,
states that the filth, wretchedness, and
crimes of the worst sinks of pollution of
London and Paris, iu comparison .with
those of Hong Kong and Canton, are de
cency, plenty, innocence, and virtue. Of
this stream of iniquity turned towards us
through the aravico and cupidity of Chi
nese officials and others, we as yet begin
to feel but the slightest effects. Without
detriment to, but Avith absolute benefit to
them, they might disgorge at once upon
us, of this class of slaves of moral corrup
tion and putrescence, a number equal to
the total population of the United States.
Yf hat portion of our country is not to them
sufficiently inviting, or where might not
capitalists, if permitted, employ them with
immense pecuniary profit ? Is it not potent
to the most obtuse intellect that for Amer
ican laborers to enter into competition
with these Chinese hordes employed by
and directed by -capitalists, either Chinese
or others, means the same e renin SI condi
tion for them ? If there is not applied
some remedy, what must be the inevitable
result? Do we not see ourselves by the
mere logic of passing events incapacitated
for the support of ourselves and our fami
lies and that which rightfully belongs to
us denied us by the niggardly and perni
cious policy of monopolists and slavocrats?
And what must be the mental vision of
the hitter blinded by the jingle, the near
prospect of dollars and cents, when they
bestow upon stranger barbarians, without
ties of any kind attaching them to U3, with
out families of their own, without courage,
virtue, ambition or aspirations character

and extended sufficiently, will unsettle

Tue Spartaxs' Idea of Death. The
Spartans, after having removed the danger,
arising from the effluvia of putrefaction of
corpses, caused the dormitotjes of the
dead to be built as near as possible those
of the living ; hence it was that there was
scarcely a public edifice of any kind in
Sparta, whether theater or church, which
had not tombs built abouP it. the object
being to familiarize the common people;
women and children, with the idea of
death, in order that they should norbe
frightened at the sight of a corpse, but
that the frequent sight of funeral obse
quies, monuments, graves, and bones,
should keep them constantly in mind of
their frail condition. It was with a simi-
lar view that the anciewt k?T.gyti:vn visaed,
to bring a dried skeleton of a man into
their banqueting halls, and place it where
their guests could not fail to see it. While
on other occasions they used to wait until
the feast was over, then present the Qra-
pany w ith an image of death, the person
who carried it about crying outQ" Byink
and lie merry, for such shalt ihou be when
thou art dead."

A Lovixor Wife. Arepectable looking
woman drove up to one of the Baltimore
police stations a few days since, and bayW
ing communicated with the officer, deliv-
red over to him her husband, named
William Hook, who was td hand anoO

array for three years as a washer-woman,
and had accumulated $2,500, with which
she purchased a snug little farm, six miles
from the city, on the Hartford road.
Thither she proceeded a year ago with her
lusband and two children, but since that
time he has been dissipated, and yesterday
attempted to kill her and her children with
a pitchfork. At this she became indignant,
and throwing him down tied him hand imd

is, and I want him sent to jail." Her re- '
qugst was complied with, despite the ap
peals of her fallen " liege lord," and he
wa s committed in default ot bail.
