And the little Adelaide cried with pity and grief for the poor little bound girl, and Mabel cried too—it was so unusual thing, this sympathy and kindness, that it effected her to tears much more readily than harsh words or ill-usage would have done. And there the two children sat; alone, for no one had been in the room all this time ; | and Mabel, in talking wiih Adelaide, had forgotten ubout her eJ'rnnd, and her basket of evergreens that she had left upon the doorstep, and thaf she had staid away long past the time when she should have been at home again. liut all at onee she remembered it, and sprung up in anriVht to go hortte. a more fortunate thing than, when in her childish compassion and pity for suffering, she brought tiie poor little hound girl into the house on that New fear's Evo.

THE RESOURCES OP THE Stisqnclinna AnUtraclto Journal AND After she had given the children their breakfast, and swallowed her's she went into the back room of the little shop, and sat down amongst a heap of evergreens, cedar and holly, and box, that she had been lying up into little wreaths for sale. A lady had been there the day betore, and ordered a quanlily of wreaths to decorate her parlor for New Year's day, and Mabel had been obliged to sit up Very late the night befoie to finish them. Now she was laying them carefully into a basket, in which they were t« be sent home. She knew she would have to carry !hem, there was no else to do it: and no mat'.er if it | was storming—if the snow did lie deep up. on the ground; and Mabel had no shoes— if the sharp, sleety iaia was pouring down and Mabel had no warm covering. The huckster-woman never seemed to think that Mabel could feel pain. or cold, or wea. riness ; and when she came into the back room, and found the girl and the basket of evergreens still there, she scoldcd her sharply for wai'.ini;, and bade her begone at onoq aud carry lliem home. So Mabel all barefooted as she was, with only a ragged hood and sn old scanty cape to protcci her from the driving sleet, sturled out upon her errand.. Poor child, it seemed a hnr.l thing to have to contribute to others enjoy litem, and she so miserable herself ! She thought how beautiful, tlie .lady's parlor* vVol'flu be, adorned with the wrentlis, to to mafte,which* her poor fingers had been torn and wotynded } how verv richly the crimson t|olly berries would shine oul from the dark leaves in the brilliant light, and how happy children would romp about the rooms, never,thinking of ihe poor child who had ccme barefoot through the snow to bring those wreaths. It was no wonder lliat the bitter !ear3 Slatted to her, eyes, and wild, rebellious rings against UodV providence rose in her heart. It was a long way that Mabel had, to go. awav from the litllr, ■arrow, crowded •streets, with which she was familiur, up into a fashionable quarter of the ciiy. She did not know her way very well, and had lo look up often to notice the numbers ol the houses : and once, looking up, her eye.- met those of a child not older than herself, standing by a window inside :hc curtains What a contiast between the two children, Mabel starved, and frozen, and miserable —b re feet in (he snow ; and the child a1 ihe window, beautiful as a dream, warm and rosy, and richly dressed, standing a mid»t folds of Uce mid velvet drapery of almost royal splendor. Yol the beoutiful child looked down kindly upon poor Malie! anil smiled, and Mabel swilled back again, for the child's look had been like a sun beam shining down into her eves. Then ilie child beckoned with a little whiu hand, as if for Mabel to come lo her. bu Mabel did not dare to mount the marble steps of that splendid mansion. The child raisi d the window a little, and culled obi lo Mabel, 'Stay till I come,' aud so ran away. Presently she was at the hall door ■Milling to Mabel |o come to her, so kindly, that Mabel, quite encouraged, came up tin steps to the little lady. Mow cold you must bct exclalmfcd the child, compassionately, taking Mabel's frozen fingers in her soft, rosy liunds— with ni cloak on, and no shoes either !— Why how could your mother lei you go out so.

There is no effort, I-UA.NKI.1N AT VERSAILLES In the opinion of this gentleman, the flourishing state of the Turkish finances is a meie temporary .matter, which will soon pnss away, and give place to that di». may and despair which an empty treasury, and a starving soldiery are Sure to inspire. Tho result, however, may be very different from what is thus predicted. Thtt Sultan has resources of whose existence) the Frenchman afTec:s to be ignorant-Mofwhose existence all tyrants are Jgnoranl—C for no tyrant, r.o tfeurper, no oppressor of the laws and liberties of his country, ever had tliein. Resources (or which no ati-i tumr.nl taxes, no forced contributions, can. be a substituie. Resources which shaill be unfailing when the tributes of Rayahs, the dues of peasants, end thc-per ce'ntage of merchants siiall have been exhausted., Resources such as sustained Athena, against the might of Xerxes ; such as en*., ixbled Rome to bear up against the arms and genius of Hannibal ; such as support., ed Ameiica during the trials and struggles of the revolution. Tiiese are the re-i sources on which Abdul Medjid mainly relics, and which are not influenced by time or seasons, or turns ol fortune; and these never failing resouices, with which neither tyrants nor tyrants' minions have acquaintance, are the valor, the devotion, and the enthusiasm of his people. It was not those autumnal taxes, on on which the French editor lays such astress, that gathered together from every • province of the SuHan's dominions, those; mighty armies which guard jn Europe and in Asia, the Northern frontiers of the Otto, man Empire. It was no mercenary mo. ■ live that impelled those fierce warriers to. come from the extremities of Egvpt and the confines of Persia, to battle with the enemy and oppressor of their race, but love of country and religious zeal, it was not any portion of those autumnal taxes, which enabled the Sultan in one day to. arm, clothe and equip eight thousand "Re. difs," but the voluntary offerings of a patriotic and devoted people. It was not as, debtors to the Stale that the citizefis of Constantinople placed 18,000 soldiers,, armed and equipped, at the service of the, Sultan, but as men who were prepared to sacrifice their property and lives in defcnce, of his independence and the rights of hlAi sovereign authority. Nor is it the dreadof the tax collector that induced the mql„ . titude to pour daily into the Imperial irea- '. sury free gifts of jewels and money, and ■ to placo at the disposal of the Stale their ; horses, their houses, and their lands, butall the noblest passions that can actuate men who know that the ascendancy of; their faith, the freeduin of their race, and. their future position in Europe must de. pend on the result of the coming contest.. This Russo Turkish war, it must be re. mtmbered, will bo no ordinary war, in the t estimation of the Tuik. The insults and! oppressions which Abdul Medjid has sutlered from iiis enemy, have wounded the-6pirit and kindled the indignation of  follower of the Prophet throughout the-, length ond brcaJth of the Ottoman empire. The Moslem burns lo avenge these ifisults,, and these oppressions, on tbe hereditary foe of 1ns country and his creed ; to expel from the territory of his sovereign those audacious intruders who have been so long permitted to pollute it with their presence.

The king received him with cordiality, charging him l° assure the United Slates of his friendship, and expressing his satisfaction xt iIh the conduct of lheir commissioner during his reaidetice in France. On his withdrawing from this audience, the crowd in llie passage-ways greeted him with renewed manifestations of welcome, und followed him for some dislancc.

One, sovs the invuntur, stands out and takes up the room oi' six ordinary petticoats, and thus sarrs wear and tear, and economises washing, it is hue that when a lady qe.-ires lo get intC) a carriage, the hoop will be likely lo suck at the door.— To obviate this, she must, at the moment of embarking, turn n liitlti screw, hidden n some fold of her dress, and lot out the air. The swollen (olds at once collapse, and shrink into an extremely small com. pass. As she alights from the vehicle, sh8 again applies her lips to the mouthpiece, inflates the tube, and distends her skirls. This perpetual letting in and out of air, 0110 would think, would become monotonous, not to sny tedious, in time. It is possible that a flageolet might in some Way be adapted lo the tube, so that the wind, in escaping, might whistle an air.— Or an urrangemtnt of reeds might produce a melody like that of tt barrel,organ, or perhaps of an jE-ilian harp. No lady could ullege, lis an objection, her inability to ploy upon thCf flute. Hamlet settled that question long ago.

Poor Mu'ucl ! she had hidden behind Adelaide, trembling with a very vauge fear at the strangeness of her position, and liaH' hoping io escape notice. Now she had to stand forth a'id beur the kind but inquisitive gaze of the old man's eyes. Poor Mabel, she hung her head down in shyness, but for all ihul the old man could see thai the face she was trying to hide was u very lovely one, with its large sad eyes, and the delicate mouth and chin ; even though ,the stain of tears was oil the cheek, thin and pale from want and suffering, and roughened by co.mailt cxposuro to wind and weather.

Dul why, we ask again, should not Jenny have a baby lo love, to fold in her fond arm?, to kiss and hup, and toss in the air, and trot upon her knee, and chirrup to, and tumble about, Willi a u.other's doming play, fulness ? She has conquered fame ; shall she linger in soliiary age, and die nlone at lust? Shall the heart's affections be wasted in the pursuit of ambition, and shall no loving and irusting face cheer her thro' life, and stand around her death-bed, like bright visions looking upward toward the sky ? Shall she walk the world's high places compHmonless, and without a Slav for her age to lean upon ? No. Ten thousnd times dearer to her mother's heart, is the crowing,;evcn the cries of that little one, than the laudett applause that ever went up from the crowdod audience, on the day of her proudest triumph. Ten thousand times sweeter is its smile, than the fragrance of the flowers that were showered upon her, as a tribute of aJmiraiiun to her transcendent sweetness of song. Yes, yes, ambition is nothing—triumphs urc nothing—admiration of the world, fame and wealth, are nothing. The mother looks upon hercl iid, hur heart clings to its feeblones, and all other world-visions vanish away. "Rock the cradle" Jenny !

The enthusiasm o(' which ho had been the object at Versailles was renewed al Paris. Voltaire had recently arrived there after an absence of thirty years. lie was in his 8.0th year. Franklin called upon him, and was received with evident pleasure. Voltaire at first accosted him in English, but having lost the habit of speaking it, he resumed the conversation in French, adroitly remarking, "I could not resist the temptation of speaking for a moment in the language of Franklin."— The Philadelphia sage then presumed his grandson lo the patriarch of Ferney, and asked his blessing on him. "God and liberty !" said Voltaire, raising his hands oter the young man's head—"that is the only benediction appropriate to the Son of Franklin." l'rom the Philadelphia Inquirer. Where did this poor child come from, Ad. laide ?. he asked wonderingly. LITTLE MABEL. Why, oui of the si reel grandpa, where she was walking in the show with lie) naked leei ! 'Only think of it grandpa !' exclaimed Adelaide, indignantly—, the people she lived with sent her out (o sell evergreens, and I sow her Irom the window and brought her itl.

Oh, grandpa loved Adelaide too well, and he was too good and kind' hearted himself, to deny her prayer long, i ,.-cd not tell vou of all the questions he asked Mabel, of all the answers that she gave him, but oniy from Adelaide's pleading, and his own conY'otion ol the child's innocence and truth, written so plainly as both wero on her sweet luce, the old man consented at last to keep Mabel in the house, and take care ol her always. She was to be Adelaide s little maid, and help her to dress, and w ait upon her, and Mabel thought it would be a very different thing from being the maid to Mrs. Jamo's rude boys. " Little Mabel, little Mabel, Wanders forth upon the street. The froat upon her yellow hair, Mabel put her hands over her eyes and burst into tears.

A few days after this interview the same parties met at the Acadainy of Sciences, and wern placed side by side. '] he sight of these distinguished old men elicited anofhor ouibreals of Parisian enthusiasm.— Tho cry arose that they should embrace. They stood up, bowed, took each other by the hand, and spoke, lint this was not enough. The clamor still continued. "II laut's embrasscr a la Frcncaise," Was the cry ; whereupon they kissed each other on the cheek, and not, till then did the tumult subside.- The scene was Classically colnpafed by the literatcurz of the day, id "Solon embracing Sophocles." Voltaire lived only a month after this second encounter with his American contemporary. It was a very cold, miserable garret room where Maliel Browne, a poor iiiilr bound girl, iuy asleep one New Yeer'» eve. The windows were broken in a great many places, and shut up wi:h old rags, did not keep out the cold at all ; even the #;:ow drifted in, and lay in litile heaps upon the liclo3° 10 the loot of Mabel's straw pallet, whereat !»y covered up with only a picca old car,.£t. wonder how shu could work at all in such a place you are sure you could not.

She had to do everything—wait in the shop, run errands to oarrv (hinge home 10 customers, work about the house, wash and dress the children. and wait on them, and twenty other thing* beside ; so that the poor child was tired enough to sleep soundly when she was allowed to go to bed, even on that miserable brd.

There's my heavenly inheritance and the eternal friendship of the redemed— there—there—all hope of salvation ! 1 give up my God ! 1 resign all !—All that is great, good and glorious in the universe, 1 resign forever that I may be drunk." Go out to sing to the world never again —pass forever from iis gaac, to sit calmly by the domestic hearth, gathefing your little ones around you teaching them the value of "the divinity that stirs within them," the duties of life and hope of eter nity. Tell them of the littleness of fafnfe, the folly of ambition, the beauty of liolinese, and the home with the just at last. And when angfls shall gather around the grtal While Throne, among the voices that shall mingle in thn song of the redeemed, yours and theirs shall be heard in the full volume of their sweetness, chaunting ths praise of "Him that liveth forover." broad, carpeted siaircasc into tho drawing room, where she had bern belore. Poo Mabel! sho slood bewildered with aston shmcut and admiration in the centre o hat beautiful room. It seemed to her i Iream of fairy.land ; she had never imag lied the existence of such splendid thing! —The velvet carpel, so rich and.glowing nto which her feet sunk at every step, the uxurous couches and divens, and the mir ■ors reaching from floor to ceiling, the ;orgeous curtain*, and tho pictures and taiuies, and the beautiful trifles scattered iround upon the marble tables—everything vas new and wonderful to Mabel. She ooked down at herself in all her tatters ind misery, and then with a bitter sense Df the contrast between herself arid her suroundings, she would have run wildly from he room, from the house, out into the inow again. What business had she there —but the little lady held her hands, and Irew her up to the grate, through thesilrer ban of which the glowing coals shed uch a warm crimson light. A large cushioned chair stood before the grate, and in his the child seated Mabel ; then she sal town upon an ottoman by her side, nnd ;ommenccd talking to her ond asking her luestiona. Tell me what your name is, little girl, ihe said. Mabel, is it, what a pretty name Mabel is ! My name is Adelaide, but ntD- Dody would ever know it, because grandDa always calls me Lady bird. 1 wish my rrandpa was yours too, he is so good, and le would never let you co out in the cold 10.

Ilis features were an index of the good temper, amenity, cheer fulness and affability which were his charac:cri*tics. John Adams represents him as being taciturn on Committee and in Congress. In society he was far from being loquacious ; hut no one possessed a more entertaining fund of conversation, or used it more happily on fitting occasions. Childhood, that "best detector of a gentle heart," was always welcome to his ltncc. For the young, his manners, and words of sage advice and pleasantry had an indescribable charm.— SiC Francis Homily, when a young man. called on him at Pnssy (1782) will) a friend. "Dr. Franklin," he writes, "was indulgent enough to converse a good deal with us, whom he observed to be young men very desirous of improving by his conversation. Of all the celebrated persons, whom, in my life, I have chanced to see, Dr. F., both from his appearance and his conversation, seemed to me the most remarkable. His venerable, patriarchal appearance, the simplicity of his manners and language, and the noveky of his observation—at least the novelty of them at that time to me—impressed me with an opinion of him as one of the most extraordinary men that ever existed." A Beautiful Incident. She could scarcely believe that she was not in a dream, when a lew hours after tihe stood again in the library by Adelaide's side before her grandfather. She was such a diiTcrent person from the poor ragged child who had stood trembling there before. Now Cihe Imd a nice bath, and was so prettily dressed from head to foot in garments handsomer and richer than ever she dreamed ot possessing. Her face was clean and pure, and her pretty yellow hair, parted evenly from her forehead, and clustered wavily around her neck ; her neat dark merino dress filled nicely to her figure, and her poor little feet had oft, warm stockings and shoes on. Altogether she looked so pretty and neat that Adelaide was perfectly charmed willi her new little maid, and could not refrain from throwing her arms around her and kissing hrr ; and the kind grandpapa himself patted her on her head and told her to be a good girl. So this was the commencemeht ol Mabel's New Year, and of Iter new life, for after this she never left Adelaide. She was so good, and faithful, and affectionate that all about the house soon grew to love the quiet little Mabel ; and" grandpapa of. ten told hit Ladybird that she nevef did An officer being at sea in a dreadful storm, his lady was sitting in the cabin near him, and filled with tlarm foi the safety of the vessel, was so surprised at his composure and serenity that shn cried out : "Moiher ! mother ! what do you think ?

The little girl sprung hastily up, wa. k«ned by the rude noise, and hurried on her poor ragged clothes, that she might go down and dress the children before her mistress came up. But she was not in lime to escape a scolding for her laziness, accompanied with a slap, and an order to ••go get Bob and Jane ready for breakfast this minute." Mabel was used to such treatment, she had to bear it daily and hourly. She did not cry or say a word, but dressed the children patiently, bearing with alt their rudeness and freifulness. iSough they imitated" their mother, and scolded her, and struck her because she Jiaid to wash them in cold water, and pinched her because their hair was tangled, and she could not comb it out without hurting tlwm, and gave her trouble in a great ma. ny ways.
