A dele- gate from the House Painters reported his Society in favor of # maxes meeting to consider the question of discontinuing strikes, Other deloyates reported ro and con, when the President sald that the ob- ject of the meeting bad been misunderstood, The real object was to take into consideration some plan by which strikes mightim future be avoided, to rogulate the hours of labor, and to cousider the law of apprenticeship A member complained loud!y of the editorial fn the Bun of Thursday, headed “ Strikes"? and thought that tov much publicity bad been given to the matter, Mr, Hardin’ —We cannot help that, fons of the BUS are not thone of the Ur The member—We can help it by kee rer out, Mr, Harding —Well, that wou'd require consld- eration Mr McDermott (Piasterers) said that there was fom bh aaah tee on tw Wo the report of the Dry Goods Clerks in the Bun, For his own part he was oblived to admit that the recent strikes had done nore barm than good, It was an assertion which he was sorry to make, but it was neverthe- less true. Pretend a8 they might as to the stronyth of their organizations, they were really toppling over, and members were eaving the Associations. The object of the niass meeting Was siraply to try and do as much good as had done two years nyo, and if uo more good were done than to get members to return to their socictiey a great deal of yood would be dune, He thought that invi tions ought to be sent to the bosses to form org izations alae, and send an equal number of dele- Kates to the Central Uulon, then if a difficulty should come up between any local organization, a referonce might be made to the Central body, and the difficulty might be amicably settled, Wath re- gardto simker, of course rome mode should te adopted to obtain an increase of Wages, but when employer and employed were united, it would, of course, be a matter that could vot conflict with the interests of either, Mr. John H, Foy, from the Dry Goods Clerkst ation, nade seme explanaiions. He had uv derstood Mr, McDertnottto say in prefacing bis re- marks, that strikes ba! been injurious, and that is would be well to discontinue them, He assured the Union that the dey goods clerks did not bold themselves responsible to any oryanigetion with reyard to strikes, Lie then gave a history of the 7 edastrike in lis own Association, and said t nization discountenauced strikos en- tire.y, suse it Was bot w their iuterest. The report in the SCN was substantially correct, for tour-tifths of his Awsociation hud voted for # mass meeting to try some other method of settling diffi- culties as stmkes had been injurious.

OLD ARM-CHAIR. —_—o-— “MY worthy companions,” ssid an old straight- backed arm-chair, which stood close at my elbow, and, I confess, rather startled me by the sudden- nese of its addres—"' My good friends, the reapect+ able weapon that spoke last, I own, has smusod me as T dare say he has you all, by his deeds of battle, love, and retribution; but still he has been doomed, like many another noisy fellow, to become the tool of others, and to carry death wherever ho Woe used, “Now my fate has been far different, and I con- sider more to be envies, for it has been to carry nothing but !ife—and euch life !—the Leautiful, the young, the beloved. But of that moreanon. I w.il begin from the beginning, that you may know what otyle of thing addresses you, Know, then, that Iam a descendant of a noble oak that once spread ite gigantic arms and reared its kingly bead over an immense space of curth, end far above all other less aristocratic trees in its neighborhood. We bore on our arwns the acorn, to show that we were truly part, parcel, and branch- es of the great stem or progenitor, whose first tak- ing possession of the lund which he there occupied, wes beyond the memory of man; consequently our respectability was undoubted, As conturies ro led on, our parent stern, althou ch he supplied us liberally with leaves, began to show symptoms of decay, Our strong attachment to bim made us tremble for ourselves as well as for hin ; for, if be were to fall, heaven only know what would become of the numerous branches of the noble tamily, then all perfectly dependent on him for support, Tho vigor daily loft his gigantic trunk, and bis moans sometimes were very un- pleasant to listen to ; he tottered very much when there was anything of @ storm, for his feet were very much swollen and distorted. From his high connexions we called it gout, but gout or no gout it materially aided in his rapid decay ; and one stormy night (I shall never forget it), the wind howled around us, the lightning flashed, the thunder rolled, and, in fact, all thél eloments seemed combined for the destruction of the faraily, In the midst of the deafening hubbub a crash—oh, horrible {—found us all struggling in one gigantic ruin Fallen! fallen! fallen! The fall of the great brings the aclf same tribe of the ungrateful, be the fallen men or trees. Tho uext morning at daylight swarins of despoilers, men that we had sheltered from the storm, women and children that we had shaded from the nooday sun, all came bent upon our destruction, Need I say, that all the branches of our noble family wero very much cutup, We were torn from each other, and we never met again. Ihave heard that some of the biggest of us were sent to wea, whilet others were forced into all manuer of situations degrading and incompatible with their birth. But !t is of my own fortune Tam bound to speak. 1 was of a very respectable size, having been liv- ing on my parent for some years, who was vory much attached to me, and hed always thought me too grecn to be sent away into the world, I con- sidered myself ornamental, and, thercfore was in no burry to be useful, so stuck to the old gentle- man, with the other equally lazy branches ; aud I have heard it said that our continual dray upon him brought him and ourselves to premature ruin. But this I look upon as merely the censoriousness of an ili-judging world, and treat it with the con- tempt it deserves. I was dragged away through the dust and tho mire to an obscure shed where some low-boru ruf- fians eet upon me and atripped me of my clothlug. There I lay, naked and helpless, pondering upon what would be my future fate, since it appearod to begin so scurvily. I was left thete for some length of time, when one morning @ quict old man came and measured me with a rule, and marking me off into quantities, soon set to work to divide and shave me in the most brutal manner. After tortures innumerable I found rayself in my Drosent shape, and all my clothes in their newest gloss, Iconfeas t» you that I felt proud. I rested my arma upon my knees, end stretching out my four logs, looked down with considerable com- placency upon the rich velvet aprou that covered my lap. I was conveyed with much care, and splendid old chamber, the like of which I never beheld before, It was full of wonders to my rustic and unworldly eyes ; for, though of bigh birth, my father being called the monarch of the wood, he held Fis court in the open air, which gave me little knowledge of civilized life. But I believe that that I think we are also called “Yords of the soi!l,"* which we undeniably were, for we struck out right and lef to grasp as much as we could, and used up a great portion of the afore- eaid sof] belonging to other trees, which waa really necessary to support the many branches belonging to so noble a stem, Tu my new form I was called a chair ; there were ® grest many so-called in the room ; they looked very dark at ine, for I suppose I was considered a parvenu ; but I little heeded them, for wy atten- tion was attracte:! to a beautiful child, who, at that moment, entered the magnificent chamber, Hor fair locks few wildly about ber angelic face, and with a light and airy motion she sprang tuwards me, She stood and gazed upon me with childish delight, admiring my graceful form ; I really felt ag if my velvet brushed a deeper crimson beneath her dove-like eyes. T bad e noble heart of oak, ang! felt it bound as {t were to the fair child; a moment more—guess my confusion—envy me my delight! she sprang into my extended arms, and I held in a close eu- brace the beautiful child, whose life will form the subject of cf recital; aud although the facts may be wanting {n fnterest to you, to me they are hai- lowed by @ sweet remembrance of one of earth's fairost creatures, Heaven knows I am not given to sentimentalize, nor do intend to barrow your feel- ings by acenes of bloodshed or hairbread escapes; {t is in verity a simplicity, the very sweesness of which makes to me its best sentiment. The girl thas I held in my arws was about thir- teen years of age, ‘fair and beautiful to look upon," the only child of the owner of the magniticent do- main in which I had beeome @ retainer. He was a stern proud man, whose early life had been passed in heartburnings and neglect, conse- quent upon his position of younger brother, O, an ambitious and flery temperament he, from bis early childhood, had fretiod under the every-day occurrence of seeing his eldest brother, the rising son, claim from al! classes the incense paid to his position, Envy hed thus early entered a heart which otherwise would have been noble and good, turning all Lis better feelings to gall aud bister- plooed ine K nesa, : When manhood put the he'r in full poasesasion of his envied rights Le marriod, and was bleased with a family, enurely crushing the hopes of bis young- er brother as to any chance of succeas'on, He soon after married an amiable laly, to whom he had been for some time contracted, aud as yeara wore on, he saw bis own child mingle with the tair promising blossoms of bis brother; but he experi- enced a pang as be felé she was ouly the daughter of » younger brother, His brother's clidest son, a fine boy of about seven years of age, Was the constant playfellow and chevalier to his child, showing that strong pred:- lection for her that roused the hopes again in his embittered beart. Is might be y would grow up ip love together, aud the inberitance Le ure? in by himeet! the mariage of chitd. Even distant as vision was, it at od balm to the rankling epirit that posscesed Py Time bed rollet on, when some estates, inbertt- ed through a distant relatiot, called for the ence of the lord of the manor to superintend the ar. rangement. Finding that he must be absent from home, for some months, as the cetetes were in Ire. land, he resolved to take his family with bim, lesv. ing his brother in eng rnaill for travelltng In those days was not a thing ao easily done ae I am eed a te present, a ey Many mutual expressions affection, but they met Bo more! The veasel {= which they had embarked foundered on the dane gerous coast to which they were bound, and all perished, The younger brother became the lord | What whisperings from his heart disturbed the triumph of his hopes! How he blushed at the am- bition that stopped the springs of sorrow, which ought to have gushed forth for his poor brother's sake! He became the unhappy possessor of all that had ever gildei and given enchantment to his day<dreama, tor his beart told bim the price at which it bad been bought. These combating feclings turnei him fato e stern and misuntbropic man ; bis only pleasure be- ing to return threeiold the firmer neglect of hie present perasites; but be was only revenging him- self upon himwelf, He bad no son to carry down the bonors of the house, The child he loved @o fondly could only be the means of taking those splend d domains te agerandize auother name, She had grown inwe beautiful girl of fifteen, when her father was startled by a letter, stating thata youth was then in Ireland, why from all that could be gathered, Was supposed to be the son of hia lost brother. He trernbled | Was the staff tobe snatched trom bis hand, and he again thrust back into his former position? The thought was annihilating—he was i almost frenzied, He read agein and in the startling missive, The boy, it bad stated, had been seized by wreckery, who, fearing they might be deprived of ther plunder, had carried off the child —the only soul Lving—aind after some time, finds ing him a burthen, had jet him at a convent door, where the charity of the monks had sheltered him. They, pleased with bis manners, bad inatrucwed bim, and kept him amongst them for some three or four years. Fragments of recollection ever and anon came over his wind, which he communicated to the kind ta:hers, The wreck was an occurrence well remembered, and it was resolved thet he shoukl be takeu tothe spot.

Joy bounded in her heart, and she thought only of the preservation of one who had been the beloved playiellow of her childhood. She counted the hours that kept hima froin her embrace. But ber unworldly heart wae ©omed to receive ® pang from the myateriously cold aud start oe behavior of ber father. The pleasure which she expemenced he refused to share in. He spoke of the impostures of the world, and the caution necessary in on afar of such conse quence, hinting atite being most probably a fraud by some persons well acquainted with the affairs of the family, but that he would see the youth on his arrival. Nothing, of course, but the most ample and satisfactory proofs could be expected to be roe ceived, when it involved # stake of such magnie tude. A shadow fell over her innocent heart when she for the first time heard the words of caution and distrust. She felt how sad it would make her if her true dear cousin was, by overweening caution, kept back from the door of his paternal mauston, aud those who ought to welcome him with open arme received him only with closed hearts, Through all these misgivings, she felt that she could not be deceived; that no pretender could be like ber noble littl cousin and playmate, She al- most fc t, in the enthusiasm of ber warm beart, that the boy must now be a youth fast approach ing manhood, and that she was merging trom the coufines of girlhood tutw the full bloom of early wornanhood, Her mind wascontinually agitated by the en. acting again endagain the anxiously expected tnveting.
