His ac- count with his banker used to bea ry. un certain one. Now and then he was" flush’’ with the eae & successful tour or con- cert, and he made haste to indulgein a little financial respectability, by making a deposit, on which he could draw checks like a capital- ist. The season. some five or six years since, was very productive. He had made a tour with Jenny Lind in Germany, and his pocket being heavy on his retarn, great banker, ‘3 ing. has been the recipient of some twelve hundred poun?s to his ageount. But Vivier’s heart was in his own country, and the moment he was unoceupied he begin to be homesick. He would make a visit of a month or two to Paris, and return when the great fair of London recalled him to the banks of the Thames. . By the emicent Mr. Baring he was received with the genial courtesy which genius com- mand:, even in the marts of mammon, from ose who are its princes. “ [have come to draw the little sum that I have in your hands,”’ said Vivier. At the words, the banker put on a grave air, and slightly pinched his lips. eee is impossible to let you have it,’ was e reply. we ‘Ab ues are perhaps embarrassed at this particular moment ?”’ innocently supposed the musician. ** Not atall!’’ said the banker. and one cf his clerks entering at the moment, he turned to him and said : ‘*You will send to HisG@race, the Duke of —— .the forty thousand pouads, which was the amount of the loan he re- quested.” “ This reassures me.”’ said Vivier; “if you can lend forty thousand pounds, for my de- posit, which I require this moment for a trip to Paris.”* _ ** Certainly I coudd—but I mu:t still refuse it,” persisted the imperturbable banker. ** Monsieur!"’ sai wier, ‘I like a joke well enough when ii ot carried too but this seems to have attained its limits. “Inever joke on matters of business, +i,” said Baring, “and, when I assure you that you cannot hays the meney you ask for, I om quite in eranest ”’ ‘Do you mean to deny that T mate a depo- sit with you then?” “Certainly not. I remember perfect! that, a short time since, you deposited with me twelve hundred pounds; for which, with a confidingness that was x compliment to me, you did not ask for a receipt.’’ And will you abuse this confidence ?”” ~ Never, of course. But still you cannt touch the money in question.’’ + Your reason why. sir. if you please ?”" ~ L will tell you. w days before her de- yatture for the United States. Miss Jenny Lind. wh banker I also am. did me the honor to dine with me. After dinner. we pl for the privilege of once more hearing her delighifal e, and she assented on one condition: that L would grant a request which she wished to make. f promised, and she sung. The song over. we claimed to knoweur obligation. and she then said: - Vivier has deposited money with you—twelve hundred pounds, Lhear. He ought to be rieb, with the money he makes, but the careless creature spends his earnings with the prodigality of a prince. Some one should be pradent for him. since he has no prudence himself His capi- tal should be invested in spite of him, and the interest allowed to accumulate. The sum now might be, one day, a little capital that might save him from want. I wish you to refuse to let him draw it out of your hawds.*" This is the explanation cf my refusal, and you soe that it vriginated in a kind and affectionat2 solicitude for your welfare.”’ “Ob! very well,’ said Vivier, -- and of course [ am sensible of the sympathy which actuated the illustrious woman wites heart is even greater than her talent; but. netwith- standing my gratitude, I do not aecept the ge, for 1 am out of money, and must have my present need. If I can get it in no way. I will appeal to law.”” y well,’ said the banker, + right ison and you cau go to law if you like. ! ruta yourse!f with the cost of the suit; and. with my means. I can make it last as long as your life, for the delays of the law are endless sf you choose to pay for them. No- thing shall prevent me from keeping my word to Jenny Lind, and carrying out her benevo-" lent desggn. You cannot touch the money in way bangs.” 4 efore the inflexible determination of the banker, Vivier was obliged to yield, and to the delight of his friends in Paris. he was obliged to give a concert during bis vacation there, to pay the expenses of his idleness. Vivier 13 the greutest of living horn-players, and though he still makes exorbitant sums of money, is as extravagant in its expenditure as ever. If ho lives to the common age of man, however, he will be rich in spite of himself.— N.Y. Musical Revicr. Ventilating Public Assemblies. If a guest, invited to dine out, should subse quently learn that his water had been druggd with a slow and subtle poison. he would tke care never to accept hospitalities from that quarter again. If a traveler, on stopping at a hote!, should find that the table had been supplied with decayed food, he would be so jx- dignant that he would be willing to vote fora law to punish landlords who thus trifled with héalth and life for filthy luere. Yet there is not a day passes in which rome private or public entertainer does not as insid- lously assail the constitutions of his guests, though perhaps in a less degree. If poisoned water or patrid edibles is not set upon the ta- ble, a deicterious atmosphere is given to those present to breathe. If the stomach is not filled with noxious food, the lungs are. How can men consistently be angry when bad meat is offered them, yet be indifferent when bad air is supplied ‘—for the vicious both cases assimilate with the health, and sap life. Great as is the injury done in private houses by insufficient ventilation, that done in con- cert rooms, theatres and churches, is vastly larger. Moreover, in the one case, it is geu- erally only the family that suffers; while in the other, it is always innocent visitors. Even if its granted that a man has the right to poi- son himself and his household, it is indisputa- ble that a concert giver has no such right to ison these who buy his tickets. Or, to go jeeper into the question, the owner of a thea tre, or a hall for public assemblies, violates al! ae by letting out a property which is unfit mn consequence Cf bad ventilation for the par- poses for which it is intended. If a butcher sells spoiled meat he is liable to the law ; and 20 also should be the man who keeps a noxin 8 hall for hire. Yet, while legislation has pro- vided for the wne evil, and practically the les- ser one, it has wholly An ogee the other. It is egal to sel putrid méat, which may make halt a dozen, who eat it, sick ; but it is ne fence against law, avd some think not even ainst morals, to poison thousands with un- wholesome air. The injurious efivets of large rooms. which are either not ventilated at all, or imsufticient- ly ventilated, act in two ways. If the doors and win lows are kept closed, the atmorphere soon beeomes vitinted with the carbonic gas exhaled from the lungs: while if these are ualities in ys destroy ned, draughts of air are whieh ie almost sure to give colds to tome ofthe many present Tn the one tase every inhala- tion or expiration imereases the deleterious senator ofthe at . sand, could = continued loag eno: d rimen was ramictently Sate See oe ccm, as in the Black Hole of Caloutta.

Bz one morning, Mr. Jones was seen ia his }, driving a spirited horse, in pur- suit.of a girl to do housework. This was the fourth day of the campaign, and proved as aie ul as the former ones, yet he = on, ing against all past ex, , ti meeti: saaiben: he reined a eo * Good moral Mf Mason ; can you tell me where I cae find a girl to do housework? My wife is sick, and I wish to get one fore few weeks. I am willing to pay any price!” “Tndeed, Mr. Jones, that's a hard question; there's girls enough to be sure, but they won't do housework. Neighbor Hardpan, down in the hollow there, has a half dozen, but J don’t suppose that you could get one for love or money. I'¥e tried them time and agein, but they won't go out.’” fee tes Wap eg yg no! Ma sr zing, stopped at the moor of Mr. Hardpwn. he “Good morning, Mrs Haripan: I called to see if I could get one of your daughters to do housework for men few days ?’’ “Ob | dear man; why, masey on us, oh Mr. Jones, you've no idea how feeble my darters are, they wouldnt be tough enough any vee. Ag they could'nt stand it to do housework a week. Auna Maria has got a desperate lame side, and I don’t purtend to put her to doing any- thing, she’s so feeble; and Susan Sophia has a dreadful weak stomach ; she can’t cat any- thing unless it is cooked just s»—she don’t even make her own bed; and as for Amelia Angeline, she troubled with a terrible pslpi- tation of the heart; she can’t lift a pail of water. Why don’t you get an Irish girl!” Here Mrs. Hardpan paused for breath, and Mr. Jones bade her good morning, and re- newed his journey ; and just at it succeed - edin getting a marrred woman who brought ber baby with her, to come and doa little baking, and stay a day or two, till he should make a farther trial. This, reader, is no fancy sketch. And now let us for a moment lock at the /rebleness of Mrs. Hardpan’s daughters. Anna Maria is tough enough to /ive in a dress which co presses her ribs four to six inches, and leaves for both lungs about as much room as one ought to occupy! Of course she could not do housework. Susan Sophia can stand it to dance till midnight, then read novels till day- light, sleep till eleven o'clock in the morning, eat hot cakes, and drink strong coffee for breakfast; beef soup, butter gravies, mince pies, and fruit puddings for dinner, poundcake, lemon tarts, and a haif a dozen cups of green tea for supper; with cloves, chalk. charcoal, and slate penetis fer adessert. Poor, weak stomach! Amelia Angeline is a p: slim, delicate creature, yet she‘ can stand” it with her brenst-bone pressed upon her heart by a tight dress, so that it ean searcely beat! No wonder it is attimes obliged to make 2 * ter- rible’’ effort to free itself of surpius blood. Amelia Angeline, wo, is strong enough to car- ry six or eight pounds of cotton batting, and @ small ‘cut of cloth’’ about her hips, wear thin shoes; and go *‘ bare-armed”’ in winter. What a wonder that sie should have palpita- tion of the heart ' Now, is it any wonder that young ladies, managed in this way, are not able and willin to do housework’? heir dress, manner o} living, habits of thinking, all have a direct tendency to engender and confirm disease. Hence, spinal complaint, dyspepsia, heart-dis- ease, comsumption, ete., are the legislative re- sults. Ifwe would have our daughters healthy let us see that these and kindred evils are cor- rested. Let them lay aside the straight-jack- et and adopt adress which allows the free mo- tion of every joint and muscle, and the full ex- pansion of the chest; exchange their novels tor histories, biography, poetry, ete.; take at least half an hour’s exercise in the open air daily during pleasaat weather; retire and rise early; exchange the hot cakcs and coffee for cool bread and water; eat no rich dinners or late suppers, open the blinds, and let the light shine in upon them, if you would not have them look like plants which grew in the cel- iar; take them into the kitchen, and instruct them in the various branches of housewifery; do not be afraid of soiling their hands—they are much more easily cleansed than their hearts And knowing how to perform the du- ties of the household only helps to make a lady, nor will it lower them in the estimstion of any raan, whose respect is worth securing. Washing, baking and sweeping need not pre- vent your daughters from eee pa mu- sicians, finished painters, profi mathema- ticians, or good wives. Fasntonasce GLove.—There is quite a rage here now for a particular kind of glove which her majesty wore during her recent visit to Paris. [tis styled the “ Dauphiny,” and is cut in such a way as to provide against the fractions which kid is heir to, and the admira- ble fit thereby induced must give the princi- ple more than an epemeral existence. There 1s a double piece cf soft kid round the pulse and wrist giving the requisite length to the glove, and getting rid of that naked demarca- tion of the arm between the sleeve, as now worn, and the ordinary give. I must say that it is a decided improvement upon the old fashion, and deserves to be popular.—London Letter to N. Y. Times. A Resvt or Marrivoxy.—The Boston Bee says a wedding took place a week or twosince, in East Boston, between a couple of lovers who had not been long in contemplating the happy union. Everything passed off well until following morning, when the bridegroom was brought to a realizing sense of the rash act he had committed, by being arrested and place under bonds of two thousand dollars, to meet damages laid in one thousand dollars, in an action brought against his bride for breach of mise. A discarded lover sought a balm for is wounded affections in the meshes of the law instead of matrimony. but “ backed out’’ upon finding no better prospect in the one pur- suit then the oth fgeThe Albany Journal claims that iron should be used for the frames of pasenger cars instead of wood.
