She Ufcd with her grand patents, natives of this .city,, and once proprietors of many a lot within . il; 1)111 they had been out-bargained arid obt-'witted tiU'they were reduced to this little tenement, some twen¬ ty feet by fifteen.. >Tlwic .only, surviving de- cendent was my Uttle friend Lucy, a pretty air-skinned, fair-haired, blue-eyed girl, of most modesl, quie.t^ engaging demeanor. For many months.after we moved to State stieet, I knew noihing of the family; but, from such observations as ray-eye could takej neatness was the roling passion of the household.— Their cnly servant, Minerva, (the Goddess of wisdom should have known better,) used to scrab the house weekly from garret to cellar ; their only carpet was shook every Saturday, the ateps were scoured daily, and I never in my life saw the otd woman without a dusting cloth in her hand. Such a war of extermination did ahe carry on against the intruding particles, that my friend E. used to say, it must be hard to her to think cf " returning to dust.'' ' Lucy had no visiters, no companions ; and of the only indulgence of the old people, which was, silling on ihe stoop every afternoon, ac¬ cording 10 lhe ancient Dutch custom, she never partook. She never went out, excepting on Snnday -lo Church, and then, she reminded me of one of thoso bright pretty flowers, thtti hang on the cragged, bare stems of the cactus. I pitied her; her spring of life aeemed passing away so drearily. My pity was misapplied ; and I felt ii lo be so when 1 looked into her sweet and serene countenance, nnd saw ihere the impress of that happiness which Jiows frooi duties religiously performed. It is a great matter, Grace, to have your tlesires bounded with your station; to be satisfied with thc quiet imnoticed performance of the duties Providence haa alloted to you, and not to waste your ef¬ forts or strength in seeking to do good, or to ob~ lain pleasure, beyond our sphere. This is true wisdom, and this was Lucy WendalPs. At last came lo this obscure family what comes lo all—death and its changes. The old man and his wife died within a few days of each other, of the influenza, that then raged in the city,— The hope of serving the pretty orphan, induced me to go 10 the house. She received me grate¬ fully, as an old friend ; for ihough we bad nev¬ er exchanged a word, there had been an inter, change of kind looks and friendly nods—those little humanities that bind even strangers to¬ gether. On inquiry into her affairs, I found sho was left almost penniless, but a discreet and kind female friend had procured a place for her in Ross' glove factory. Lucy was skilled in all the an and handicraft of the needle. Roes, it seems, is a very thriving tradesman; and on the warm recommendation of Lucy's friend, he had promised to board her in his family and al¬ low her aufficient compensation for her labor. * In a few days she removed lo her new home. It is now fifteen monihs since she lefi out 3treet. Shc came once to lell me that she was perfectly aatisfied with her place, and since then I have heard nothing of her. Do not look so reproving my lady Mentor. I have been in¬ tending for aome time to call at Mr- Ross's to make inquiries about her. My story has al¬ most brought us to the shop; "John Ross, glove manufacturer." This must be the place. Stop ono moment Grace, and look through the window; that man, no doubt, is Ross himself. —What a fine head ! Vou might know such a man would succeed in the world, let his lot be cast where it wonld. He would have made a resolute general, a safe statesman ; but he is an honest, thriving glover, and that, perhaps, is just as well; nothing truer than the trite old couplet: " Honor nnd fame frum no cuiidiLion rise : Act well yciir part, there nil lhe honor iio^.'" * The old man looks as ihough he might be a little tyrannical though. Heaven grant that poor Lucy may not have aufiered from that trait in his physiognomy. * The only cnatomer is coming oui j now we have a clear field, lei us go in. 'Mr. Ross, I believe.' * The aame, ma'am.* * I came, Mr. Ross, 'to enquire after a young woman who came to live with you last Christ¬ mas 7 liv made no answer I thought il pnidQttt]>iforo matiers went any fbrther to tell Jbht^ my wtaljes about bis conmn Amy Mjr wisfabs^ ma'Ant) I have alwayi made a Ik» to my ctntdrea To bo aure, I havc taken fiarcj for the most, that ihoy ahonld ba rewonthl^^I wta a littla wdlful, I own It, but It's ^ailf ToHts^^Hicmett (o mmd, and ' children obey your parents,' la the law both of scriptuTo and of nattue. So I told Jobn I did not faint any auspiciooB about hntsy, bot I toIJ hun this marriage With his cousin he coold have no objecuon to as I had long set my heart upon It, and that he must set about ii without delay on peril of my displeasure He was ai lent, aud looked down cast, but saw that I was determined, and I believed he would obey me A few evemnga after, I saw a" Ught id. the workshop after the usual time. I went'to inquire into it* I bad on my'slippers and my' steps made little or no aound., The uppei part of the door was.set'With glassi I sow Lucy finishing a paii- of glovesT^'my son'was atanding by her. It iappears that they, were for him, and he insisted iipon her trying them on his hand. Her's poor thing, seemed to tremble. The glova would not go on, but it came off, and their hands met without ^^t^vej, audanice fit they-xvere. I burat in upon them I asked John if this washis obedienco to rne,and told Lucy to quit my service immediately. Now the wholo matter is past, I most do John justice to say he stood by her like a man. He had given his heart and promised bis hand to Lucy, aod she owned she loved bim—him who was not woriby of her love. He said, too, something of my beiog a kind father, and d kind man i and would not believe that the flrst case of my doing a wrong would be to the orphan girl whom Providence had placed nnder our roof.— Ma'am, you will wonder that I hardened my heart to all this, but you know that anger is a short madness, and so it is ; and besidea, there is noihing makes us ao deaf tc reason and true feehng as the strong sense that we are willfully doing wrong. I was harsh, and John loat his temper, and poor Lucy cried, and was too frightened tospeak ; indeed by my telling Lucy she should not slay another day in my house, and John, ihat if he did not obey me, my curse should be upon him. * The next morning, they had both cleared out, ond everybody tbought they bad gone off" 10 get married, and so I believed till night, when .Tohn cam© in like a distracted man, and said he had been all day seeking Lucy in vain —that the friend she had in the city knew no¬ thing of her—and when I answered * ao much tbe better,' ha accused me of criielty, and then followed high words, such as never should pass between faiher and son; it ended in my turn¬ ing him from my door. I do nbt wonder you turn away—hut hear. Saturday night, three days after, John came homo, an altered man. He was as humble as if he had only been wrong. He begged pardon, and promised to obey me in all thinga but marrying Amy Bruce. * I give up Lucy, father,' said he, * but I cannot marry anybody else.' I forgave him, from the bottom of my hoart. I forgave him—and I longed to ask him to forgive me—but I bave not come to that yet- I asked bim what had brought him back to duty. He pul into my hands a letter ha had received from Lucy Sho had persevered in not seeing htm—but such a leiter, ladies ! If minislers could so speak to the heart, there would be no sin in the world. She said she bad deserved lo suffer for carrying mailers so far without my knowledge. She spoke of me as the kindest of fathers and the kindest mastera. Then she spoke of the du¬ ty a child owed a parent—said ahe should nev¬ er have any peace of mind till ahe heard we were reconciled; and told him it would be in vain for him to seek her, for she had solemnly resolved never to see him again. Thc paper was blistered with tears from the lop to ihe bot¬ tom i but saving and excepting tbat ma'am, there was nothing from wbich you could guess what it cost her to write the letter. 'Icould notstandit; my heart melted with¬ in me ; I found her that very night, and with¬ out loss of time brought her back to my house,' and then, he added, walking hastily to the farther end of tbc sbop, and throwing open a door, thai led into a back parlor, *there, ma'am, is the long and short of it.* And there was one of the most touching scence of human life. My preitya dutiful friend, become a wife and mother, her infant in her arms, and her bus- band sitting beside her watching tbe firat inti' mations of intelligence and love in ils bright face. Such should be the snmmer happiness when the spring is consecrated to virtue. •I have b;ad a great many joung women tag wi».»a nie, ma'am.' ihe old man's humor leqnires me to be ex¬ plicit. ' Her name, Mr. Ross, was Lucy Wen- dall.' * Ay, Lucy Wendall did come into the facto¬ ry about that time.' There was an expression in his face at the mention of ber name, ihat might betide good, and il might betide evil of Lucy. ' I merely wished to know, Mr. Roas, wheth¬ er Lucy had given satisfaction, and wlicthcr ahe still remains with you.' 'Were you a friend to Lucy Wuudall, ma'am V * I should Ihink it an honor lo call myself so, but I could hardly claim that name. She was my neighbor, and interested me by her correct deportment, and uncommon dutjfulness to her old parents.' Ross made no reply, but fumbled over some gloves that were on the counter, then tied up the bundle and laid it on the shelf. * You seem, Mr. Ross, not disposed to an¬ swer my inquiry. 1 ani afraid somo accident haa happened to the poor girl.* ' Would you like to know, ma'jtm, what haa happened lo her ?' He leaned his elbow on hif desk, and aeemed about lo begin a story, * Certainly I -would.' ' Well, you know when Lucy Wendall came to me she was a little demure thing—not a beanty, but ao cor^ely and so tidy, that she was a pretty resUng place for the eye of. the old or the young. She was as great a contrast to the ^other girls in the work-shop, as white ia to black. She just sat quiet in-one-corner and minded her work, nnd toolt no part in the gab¬ bling. You know what a parcel of, "girls are n»a>:to, digging away from morning till i^ht, like forty thousand chimney swallows. • Lucy was very different; she made herself neat'ahd tidy in the moming, and did not lose half an hour at noon when the 'prentice boya' were coming to dinner, twritching out curl papers and' fuzbelowing her hair. The boya and girla uaed to have their joke about her, and coU her the little parson; but she only preached in her actions, aud that is what I call practical preach¬ ing ma'am ; she .was a Uttle master workman at the needle—I never had a match for her since I began tbe business; ibut (you know there's always a iur ia this Ufe,) she gave me great offence. She crossed me -where ,1 .could leastbear tobo contradicted.' 'Not mlentionatly, I am sure, Mr. Ross.V * You shall hear, ma'am.

'Wasted, a good plain Cook,' is hungrily echoed from the columns of the Times, by half the husbands and bachelors of Great Britain. According lo the true meaning of the worda« A good plain Cook'—to judge from the unskilful mannor in which domestic cookery is carried on throughout the lengih and breadth of the land —is a very great rarity. But the convention¬ al and the true meaning of the expression widely differ. * What is commonly aelf.called a plain cook,* aays a writer in the Examiuer,' is a cook who spoils food for low wagea. She is a cook, not because she knows anything about cookery, but because she prefers the kitchen fire to scrubbing floors, polishing grateJ; or making beds. A oook who can boil a potato and dress a mutton-chop is one in a thousand.' Such very plain cooks will alwaya exist for dyspeptic purposes, while those who are in ao- diority over thein remain ignorant of an art which, however much itmaybe slighted, exerci¬ ses a crowning influence over health and happi¬ ness. Eat we must; and it ia literally a aub¬ ject of vital importance whether what we eat beproiierly adapted for healthful digestion or Medical statistics tell us ibat for all diseas¬ es wilh whicli the English aro afflicted, those arising directly ot indireclly from impaired di¬ gestive organs are the most prevalent. We are falsely accused in consequence of over-eaUng ; but lbe truo cause of our ailments is bad cook¬ ing. A Frenchman or a German devours much more at one of *his own inexhaustible tables-d'- hote than an Englishman consumes at his di- niog.iahle—and with impunity; for the foreign¬ er's food being properly prepared is easily di¬ gested. ' The true difference,' saya a pleasant military writer in Blackwood's Magazine,' be¬ tween English and foreign cookery is just thia: in preparing butcher's meat for tbe table, the aim of foreign cookery is to make it lender, of Engliah to make it hard. And both systems equally effect their object, in spite of difficulties on each side. The butcher's meat which you buy abroad, is tough, coarse-grained, and strin¬ gy; yet foreign cookery aenda this meat to table tender. The butcher's meat whicii you buy in .England is teiider enough, when it comes home; but domestic cookery sends it up bard. Don't tell me the hardness is in tfae meat it¬ self.'; Nothing of the kind; it's altogether an achieyepi^t.of the English cuisine.. I appeal to a leg-of-mutton, I appeal to a beef-steak, as they liaiiallylcoine to table; the beef half broil¬ ed, the muttpnlbalf roasted. Judgo for your¬ self. The underdo,!^ portion of each is tender; the portion that's dressed -is-hard. Argal, the hardneaa ia dneto'tlte'dt^ssaing, not to the meat; it 13 a triumph of domestic cookery.

Whea a celrtain diplomatist was reminded that his mother had been a cook, hc dui not deny thb fact, but assured the company,' upon his honor, that she was a very bad one ' People in the best society do not hesitate to bore others with thetr ailments, and talk about cures and physic; bat conversation respecting preven tion-^wbicb is'better iKan cure—and whole¬ somely prepared fot)d,-is tabooed. -Young ladies of the leisure classes are educa¬ ted to become uncommonly aouto critics of>all that pertains'to personal blandishment. Thoy keep an uncompromisingly tight hand over their milliners and Jadies' maids. They can tell to a thread when a flounce is too narrow or a tuck too deep. They are taught to a shade what col¬ ors suit their respective complexions, and to a hair bow lheir coiffure ought to be arranged. Woe,utito the aeatastress or hand-maiden who sinsin these matters! But her 'good plain cook'—when a damsel ia promoted to wedlock, and owns one—passes unreproached for the most heinoua offences. , Badly seasoned and ill assimilated soup; fish, without any fault of tha fishmonger, aoft and flabby; meat rapidly roas¬ ted before fierce flrea^—burnt'outside and raw within,; poultry rendered by tho same process tempting' lo the eye, till dissection reveals red and uncooked joints ! Theae crimes, from their frequency and the ignorance of 'the. lady of the bouse,' remain unpunished. Whereupon, husbands, tired of their Bormecide feasts— which disappoint the taste more because they have often a promising look to the eye—prefer better fare at their cluba ; and escape the Soylla of bad digestion, to be wrecked on the' Charyb- dis of domestic discord. All this is owing to the wife's culinary ignorance, and .to your Good. Plain Cooks.' We do not say that the daughters of ihe wealthy and well-to-do should be submitted to regular kitchen apprenliceship.H, and taught iha details of cookery, any more than that they should learn to make shoes or to fit and sew dresses. But it is desirable that they should uc- quire principles—such principles as would en¬ able tbem to apply prompt correction to the er¬ rors of their hired cooks. It is no very bold assertion tbat were such a knowing and judi¬ cious supervision generaUy exercised, the stom¬ ach' diseases under which half our nation is aaid to groan> would be materially abated. Let us take& step or two lower in the ladder of English life, where circumatances oblige the Good Plain Cook and the wife to be one and the aame person. Many a respectable clerk, and many a small farmer, is doomed from one year's end to another to a wearying proportion of cold, dry, uDcomfortable dinners, because hia wife*3 knowledge of cookery takes no wider range than that which pertains to the roasted, boiled, and fried. Thousands of artiaans and laborers are deprived of half tho actual nutriment of food, and of all the legitimate pleasures of the table, because iheir belter halves—though good plain cooks, in the ordinary acceptation of the term—aro in utter darkness as to cconomiaiDg, and rendering palatable the daily sustenance of their families. ' If we could see,* says a wri¬ ter before quoteJ, * by the help of an Asmod- ens what is going on at the dinner-hour of the humble or the middle class, what a spectacle of discomfort, waate, ill-temper, and consequent ill conduct, it would be ! The man' quarrels with his wife because there is noihing that he can eat, and he generally makes up in drink for the deficiencies of ihe article of food. Gm is the consolation to the spirits and the re¬ source to the baulked appetite. There is thus not only tho direct waste of food and detriment to health, but the farther consequent waste of lhe use of spirits, with its injury to the habits and the health. On thc other hand, people who eat will drmk moderately; tbe satisfaction of appetito with relish dispensing with resource to stimulants. Good-humor, too, and good health foUow a good meal, and by a good meal we mean anything, however simple, well dressed in its way. A rich man may live very expen¬ sively and very ill, and a poor one very frugally but very well, if it be his good fortune to have a good cook in bis wife or his servant; asd a ministering angel a good cook is, either in tbe one capacity or the other, not only to those in bumble circumstances, but to many above them of the class served by what are self-professed cooks, which is too frequently an affair of pro¬ fession purely, and who are to be diatinguished from plain cooks only in this, that chey require larger wages for spoiling food, and spoil much more in quantity, and many other articles to boot.' Great would be the advantage to the commu¬ nity, if cookery were made a branch of female education. To the poor the gain would be in' calculable. ' Amongst tbe prizes which the Bountifuls of both sexes are fond of bestowing in the country,* we again quote the Examiner, * we should Hke to see some offered for tbe best-boiled potato, the best grilled mutton-chop, and the best seasoned hotch-potch aoup orbroth. In writing of a well boiled-potato, we are aware that we. shall incur tho contempt of many for attaching importance to a thing they suppose to be ao common ; but the fact is, that their con tempt ariaes, as is often the origin of contempt, from their ignorance, thero not beiug one per son in ten thousand who has ever seen or tast¬ ed that great rarity—a well-boiled potato.' Thia is scarcely an exaggeration. The im¬ portance atiached to the point by the highest gastronomic authorities, is shown by what took place, some, years since, at the meeting of a Pall Mall Club Commiiteo specially called fot the selection of a cook. The candidates were an Englishman, from the Albion Tavern, and a Frenchman recommended by Ude. The emi¬ nent divine who presided in right of distin¬ guished connoisseurabip put the first questiori to the candidates. It was ibis :—* Can you boil a potato V Let us hope that theso bints will fructify and be improved upon, and that the first principlea of cooking will become, in some way, a part of female education. In schools, however, this WiU be difficult. It can only be a branch of houeehoid education ; and until it does so be¬ come, we aball continuo to be afflicted with ' Gooil Plain Cooks.' O!

A party of .College boys, the-village haviiig been honored withthe presenoe of a.menagerie, determined to have some sport,'and^fip'prbcar- ing a hogshead, set one end'Bgiun8t:th6doo'Tj'of what tfaey supposed to be the .tame .hearts page, and pried .ppen.the.door...The,animal leaped into the cask, iriuch.was.ioxmediaiely headed up and rolled away to the.backpart.of th.e col¬ lege, and the ^animal let.into ,the,window of a sinall room under the lecture rooid. Vfe 'will allow <'°e of the scamps.to tell hia.own story. It waa aboat noon when I a.woke. I hunted oil myciothea,jia3aed'a.wet .towel around my bead,, swallowed some soda water, and after¬ wards a sup of ooSee, .^nd then, hastened to the college..- It was the.Wr of the' professor of chemiatry, and I entered the room just aa he had commenced to descan^^ upon his subject. The class were all WT&ppf^d in attention, for the lecturer was an able man, and was .treat¬ ing on "Light," a matter of interest, and ca¬ pable of beautiful illustration. He.hadscarce- ly fiiushed his jshort and eloquent eicordium he¬ fore we beard a crash of bpttles, and a low startling growl in the next room. The professor atarted and stopped amoment, while those of the class not in the secret, look¬ ed at each other in astomshmeut. There was a pause of a few seconds' duration,.and then the professor proceeded. : I began to feel alarmed. I remembered what had been done tho night before. Under ordi¬ nary circumstances there -was no danger to be apprehended.. The bear was tame enough, and had been whipped until he had imbibed a pro¬ per senae of the superiority of man. But froin the..sounds I judged that Sruin had worked himself into the room, only separated from us by a tbin:partition full of windows, in which were kept the various drugs used in eiperi- menta. There were a great many carboys and bot¬ tles of acid in the room. Should he overset any of these, and their contents touch hifl akin, he would be apt to break through the windows of the apartment, and do some mischief before we could secure him. By the looks of my com¬ panions I saw they entertained the very same fears. There was another crash and growl. The professor atopped again, and the class looked around in dismay. Those who were acquaint¬ ed with the'cause of the noise could scarcely keep their cpimtenances. In spite of the alarm under which they labored, there 'ffas a some¬ thing so ludicrous in the growL especially when we-figured tp ourselves tho coming con¬ sternation of the class, that they could hardly refrain from laughing. The professor, who could not exactly tell from whence the sound proceeded, and thought it a trick of the class, reproved them severely, and then continued his lecturo; " Gentlemen," said be, preparing for an experiment, " I will show a most startling effect.'* And he did. Hark! there was a sudden crash, as if every bottle in the place had been destroyed at once—aamoke rose up—there was a terrific howl that made the blood curdle and the marrow thrill—and through, that frail glass —Father of Truth! we had mistaken the cage— there leapt forth, infuriated witb the burning liquid—Horror! an tmtamed royal tiger. No words can desoribo the consternQtion of the class. No one stirred. Petrified by horror -tnotionless, there we sat. Not a muscle quivered, eo rigid were we with our intense fear. It was our preservation. Maddened with tho pain, the animal rushed on with terific bounds, and meeting no obsta¬ cle passed down tbe stairs in the great hall.— There, as he leapt, and relied, and howled in his agony, the eldest daughter of our janitor, coming with a measage, unwittingly entered. She screamed and fell. The tiger frantic -with the acid which waa eating to his very flesh, heeded hor not. On he passed, and the girl lived. Bettor bad she died, for never more shone tbe light of reason in her vacant eyes. From that day forth she was a gibbering, incurable idiot. On passed the tiger, on, on, on, through thc street, with tbe populace flying to every side for shelter—^passed his old prison, where his keepers stood wondering at bis escape—on he went, bound after bonndi howling, screaming with agony. On he went—while behind, be¬ fore, and around rose up the mingled cry of men, women and children—The tiger I the tiger ! At the extremity of the main street a trav¬ eller was riding quietly on to his home. He heard the-noise behind him, and caatiog his eye around, iaaw the cause. He spurred the horse, who started snorting with terror, for he saw the coming of the mighty animal as well as his master. It was in vain—the tiger noted not the man. Hf saw only the terrified steed. One leap—the distance was just saved, and he stuck his claws into the bind quarters of thc horae, who, unmindful of his double burthen, rushed on. bearing the fearful load, as though it were a feather's weight. The man received no hurt. With a presence of mind and cool¬ ness the most determined, for it resulted from despair, he drew his bowie-knife from his bosom, and with a firm stroke, buried it to the hilt in the neck of the tiger. The spinal marrow of the royal brute was severed, and he died on the instant. But be did not release his hold. Still with the death grip be biing to hia place, his eyes glossed and glaring, aiidbis claws siiiik deep into his flesh. Qn went the horse,. snorting, plunging and screaming, in mingled j)ain and terror—on, he went on, until exbatiated'by fatigue and losa of blood, ho fell-prostrate. Thosb who. camo that way in an hour after, 'caufioualy and timidly, aaw the three fltretchral together. . They watched awhile and they.'did not-jnoTO.

MEE TRADE,AND TAILORS' RIGHTS! ¦*- A fcjf abort years ago, the person who wished to make a genteel appearsnce, was reptrnincd from the waat of .menus, arising from thc fact that thecu.^tomer tailor charged four prices for bis clotliing. It was at this time the Cheap Ca,ih Clothing Stortf started in or¬ der to accommodate the public witha:! good clothing as the customer tailor made, at almoRt one-half thc price. This effort was apprficiatod by thc nublic, and thc great encouragement received iuduced thc proprietor to bo firK in tho field to adopt the principle of " Large sales and small profits," and to extend his bu.<iiDess be¬ yond a pariiHi!! in the hihtory of the trade. The plan adopted -yriux to give a.-! good (;Iothing ua could br made In any cntahUfihmont at one-half thi! usunl price. Sue¬ cess crowned this effort also. Then, with extended means, be itndertooR a further reduction, hy buying his materiala from firHt hand.<. and wat* ^ntintied with a very small prolit.

THE RECONCILBD FATHER
A TALE OF REAL LIFE
BY MISH SKUGWlCh
* I am gomg roand to Broad atceet to enquire of Ross, the gIo\er, about litile Lucy Wendall/
' Lucy WendaU ' Who ts she i'
' Sbo is a pretty little Dutch Girl who lived opposiie to me in that bit of a dwelling," thai looks like a crack or seam l>etwocn the two ffoses on each side of it. She Ufcd with her grand patents, natives of this .city,, and once proprietors of many a lot within . il; 1)111 they had been out-bargained arid obt-'witted tiU'they were reduced to this little tenement, some twen¬ ty feet by fifteen.. >Tlwic .only, surviving de- cendent was my Uttle friend Lucy, a pretty air-skinned, fair-haired, blue-eyed girl, of most modesl, quie.t^ engaging demeanor. For many months.after we moved to State stieet, I knew noihing of the family; but, from such observations as ray-eye could takej neatness was the roling passion of the household.— Their cnly servant, Minerva, (the Goddess of wisdom should have known better,) used to scrab the house weekly from garret to cellar ; their only carpet was shook every Saturday, the ateps were scoured daily, and I never in my life saw the otd woman without a dusting cloth in her hand. Such a war of extermination did ahe carry on against the intruding particles, that my friend E. used to say, it must be hard to her to think cf " returning to dust.''
' Lucy had no visiters, no companions ; and of the only indulgence of the old people, which was, silling on ihe stoop every afternoon, ac¬ cording 10 lhe ancient Dutch custom, she never partook. She never went out, excepting on Snnday -lo Church, and then, she reminded me of one of thoso bright pretty flowers, thtti hang on the cragged, bare stems of the cactus. I pitied her; her spring of life aeemed passing away so drearily. My pity was misapplied ; and I felt ii lo be so when 1 looked into her sweet and serene countenance, nnd saw ihere the impress of that happiness which Jiows frooi duties religiously performed. It is a great matter, Grace, to have your tlesires bounded with your station; to be satisfied with thc quiet imnoticed performance of the duties Providence haa alloted to you, and not to waste your ef¬ forts or strength in seeking to do good, or to ob~ lain pleasure, beyond our sphere. This is true wisdom, and this was Lucy WendalPs. At last came lo this obscure family what comes lo all—death and its changes. The old man and his wife died within a few days of each other, of the influenza, that then raged in the city,— The hope of serving the pretty orphan, induced me to go 10 the house. She received me grate¬ fully, as an old friend ; for ihough we bad nev¬ er exchanged a word, there had been an inter, change of kind looks and friendly nods—those little humanities that bind even strangers to¬ gether. On inquiry into her affairs, I found sho was left almost penniless, but a discreet and kind female friend had procured a place for her in Ross' glove factory. Lucy was skilled in all the an and handicraft of the needle. Roes, it seems, is a very thriving tradesman; and on the warm recommendation of Lucy's friend, he had promised to board her in his family and al¬ low her aufficient compensation for her labor.
* In a few days she removed lo her new home. It is now fifteen monihs since she lefi out 3treet. Shc came once to lell me that she was perfectly aatisfied with her place, and since then I have heard nothing of her. Do not look so reproving my lady Mentor. I have been in¬ tending for aome time to call at Mr- Ross's to make inquiries about her. My story has al¬ most brought us to the shop; "John Ross, glove manufacturer." This must be the place. Stop ono moment Grace, and look through the window; that man, no doubt, is Ross himself. —What a fine head ! Vou might know such a man would succeed in the world, let his lot be cast where it wonld. He would have made a resolute general, a safe statesman ; but he is an honest, thriving glover, and that, perhaps, is just as well; nothing truer than the trite old couplet:
" Honor nnd fame frum no cuiidiLion rise : Act well yciir part, there nil lhe honor iio^.'"
* The old man looks as ihough he might be a little tyrannical though. Heaven grant that poor Lucy may not have aufiered from that trait in his physiognomy.
* The only cnatomer is coming oui j now we have a clear field, lei us go in.
'Mr. Ross, I believe.'
* The aame, ma'am.*
* I came, Mr. Ross, 'to enquire after a young woman who came to live with you last Christ¬ mas 7
liv
made no answer I thought il pnidQttt]>iforo matiers went any fbrther to tell Jbht^ my wtaljes about bis conmn Amy Mjr wisfabs^ ma'Ant) I have alwayi made a Ik» to my ctntdrea To bo aure, I havc taken fiarcj for the most, that ihoy ahonld ba rewonthl^^I wta a littla wdlful, I own It, but It's ^ailf ToHts^^Hicmett (o mmd, and ' children obey your parents,' la the law both of scriptuTo and of nattue. So I told Jobn I did not faint any auspiciooB about hntsy, bot I toIJ hun this marriage With his cousin he coold have no objecuon to as I had long set my heart upon It, and that he must set about ii without delay on peril of my displeasure He was ai lent, aud looked down cast, but saw that I was determined, and I believed he would obey me A few evemnga after, I saw a" Ught id. the workshop after the usual time. I went'to inquire into it* I bad on my'slippers and my' steps made little or no aound., The uppei part of the door was.set'With glassi I sow Lucy finishing a paii- of glovesT^'my son'was atanding by her. It iappears that they, were for him, and he insisted iipon her trying them on his hand. Her's poor thing, seemed to tremble. The glova would not go on, but it came off, and their hands met without ^^t^vej, audanice fit they-xvere. I burat in upon them I asked John if this washis obedienco to rne,and told Lucy to quit my service immediately. Now the wholo matter is past, I most do John justice to say he stood by her like a man. He had given his heart and promised bis hand to Lucy, aod she owned she loved bim—him who was not woriby of her love. He said, too, something of my beiog a kind father, and d kind man i and would not believe that the flrst case of my doing a wrong would be to the orphan girl whom Providence had placed nnder our roof.— Ma'am, you will wonder that I hardened my heart to all this, but you know that anger is a short madness, and so it is ; and besidea, there is noihing makes us ao deaf tc reason and true feehng as the strong sense that we are willfully doing wrong. I was harsh, and John loat his temper, and poor Lucy cried, and was too frightened tospeak ; indeed by my telling Lucy she should not slay another day in my house, and John, ihat if he did not obey me, my curse should be upon him.
* The next morning, they had both cleared out, ond everybody tbought they bad gone off" 10 get married, and so I believed till night, when .Tohn cam© in like a distracted man, and said he had been all day seeking Lucy in vain —that the friend she had in the city knew no¬ thing of her—and when I answered * ao much tbe better,' ha accused me of criielty, and then followed high words, such as never should pass between faiher and son; it ended in my turn¬ ing him from my door. I do nbt wonder you turn away—hut hear. Saturday night, three days after, John came homo, an altered man. He was as humble as if he had only been wrong. He begged pardon, and promised to obey me in all thinga but marrying Amy Bruce. * I give up Lucy, father,' said he, * but I cannot marry anybody else.' I forgave him, from the bottom of my hoart. I forgave him—and I longed to ask him to forgive me—but I bave not come to that yet- I asked bim what had brought him back to duty. He pul into my hands a letter ha had received from Lucy Sho had persevered in not seeing htm—but such a leiter, ladies ! If minislers could so speak to the heart, there would be no sin in the world. She said she bad deserved lo suffer for carrying mailers so far without my knowledge. She spoke of me as the kindest of fathers and the kindest mastera. Then she spoke of the du¬ ty a child owed a parent—said ahe should nev¬ er have any peace of mind till ahe heard we were reconciled; and told him it would be in vain for him to seek her, for she had solemnly resolved never to see him again. Thc paper was blistered with tears from the lop to ihe bot¬ tom i but saving and excepting tbat ma'am, there was nothing from wbich you could guess what it cost her to write the letter.
'Icould notstandit; my heart melted with¬ in me ; I found her that very night, and with¬ out loss of time brought her back to my house,' and then, he added, walking hastily to the farther end of tbc sbop, and throwing open a door, thai led into a back parlor, *there, ma'am, is the long and short of it.* And there was one of the most touching scence of human life. My preitya dutiful friend, become a wife and mother, her infant in her arms, and her bus- band sitting beside her watching tbe firat inti' mations of intelligence and love in ils bright face. Such should be the snmmer happiness when the spring is consecrated to virtue.
•I have b;ad a great many joung women tag wi».»a nie, ma'am.'
ihe old man's humor leqnires me to be ex¬ plicit. ' Her name, Mr. Ross, was Lucy Wen- dall.'
* Ay, Lucy Wendall did come into the facto¬ ry about that time.'
There was an expression in his face at the mention of ber name, ihat might betide good, and il might betide evil of Lucy.
' I merely wished to know, Mr. Roas, wheth¬ er Lucy had given satisfaction, and wlicthcr ahe still remains with you.'
'Were you a friend to Lucy Wuudall, ma'am V
* I should Ihink it an honor lo call myself so, but I could hardly claim that name. She was my neighbor, and interested me by her correct deportment, and uncommon dutjfulness to her old parents.'
Ross made no reply, but fumbled over some gloves that were on the counter, then tied up the bundle and laid it on the shelf.
* You seem, Mr. Ross, not disposed to an¬ swer my inquiry. 1 ani afraid somo accident haa happened to the poor girl.*
' Would you like to know, ma'jtm, what haa happened lo her ?' He leaned his elbow on hif desk, and aeemed about lo begin a story,
* Certainly I -would.' ' Well, you know when Lucy Wendall came
to me she was a little demure thing—not a beanty, but ao cor^ely and so tidy, that she was a pretty resUng place for the eye of. the old or the young. She was as great a contrast to the ^other girls in the work-shop, as white ia to black. She just sat quiet in-one-corner and minded her work, nnd toolt no part in the gab¬ bling. You know what a parcel of, "girls are n»a>:to, digging away from morning till i^ht, like forty thousand chimney swallows. • Lucy was very different; she made herself neat'ahd tidy in the moming, and did not lose half an hour at noon when the 'prentice boya' were coming to dinner, twritching out curl papers and' fuzbelowing her hair. The boya and girla uaed to have their joke about her, and coU her the little parson; but she only preached in her actions, aud that is what I call practical preach¬ ing ma'am ; she .was a Uttle master workman at the needle—I never had a match for her since I began tbe business; ibut (you know there's always a iur ia this Ufe,) she gave me great offence.

«A GOOD PLAIN COOK."
'Wasted, a good plain Cook,' is hungrily echoed from the columns of the Times, by half the husbands and bachelors of Great Britain. According lo the true meaning of the worda« A good plain Cook'—to judge from the unskilful mannor in which domestic cookery is carried on throughout the lengih and breadth of the land —is a very great rarity. But the convention¬ al and the true meaning of the expression widely differ.
* What is commonly aelf.called a plain cook,* aays a writer in the Examiuer,' is a cook who spoils food for low wagea. She is a cook, not because she knows anything about cookery, but because she prefers the kitchen fire to scrubbing floors, polishing grateJ; or making beds. A oook who can boil a potato and dress a mutton-chop is one in a thousand.'
Such very plain cooks will alwaya exist for dyspeptic purposes, while those who are in ao- diority over thein remain ignorant of an art which, however much itmaybe slighted, exerci¬ ses a crowning influence over health and happi¬ ness. Eat we must; and it ia literally a aub¬ ject of vital importance whether what we eat beproiierly adapted for healthful digestion or
Medical statistics tell us ibat for all diseas¬ es wilh whicli the English aro afflicted, those arising directly ot indireclly from impaired di¬ gestive organs are the most prevalent. We are falsely accused in consequence of over-eaUng ; but lbe truo cause of our ailments is bad cook¬ ing. A Frenchman or a German devours much more at one of *his own inexhaustible tables-d'- hote than an Englishman consumes at his di- niog.iahle—and with impunity; for the foreign¬ er's food being properly prepared is easily di¬ gested. ' The true difference,' saya a pleasant military writer in Blackwood's Magazine,' be¬ tween English and foreign cookery is just thia: in preparing butcher's meat for tbe table, the aim of foreign cookery is to make it lender, of Engliah to make it hard. And both systems equally effect their object, in spite of difficulties on each side. The butcher's meat which you buy abroad, is tough, coarse-grained, and strin¬ gy; yet foreign cookery aenda this meat to table tender. The butcher's meat whicii you buy in .England is teiider enough, when it comes home; but domestic cookery sends it up bard. Don't tell me the hardness is in tfae meat it¬ self.'; Nothing of the kind; it's altogether an achieyepi^t.of the English cuisine.. I appeal to a leg-of-mutton, I appeal to a beef-steak, as they liaiiallylcoine to table; the beef half broil¬ ed, the muttpnlbalf roasted. Judgo for your¬ self. The underdo,!^ portion of each is tender; the portion that's dressed -is-hard. Argal, the hardneaa ia dneto'tlte'dt^ssaing, not to the meat; it 13 a triumph of domestic cookery.

punctuality It iato be feetftd, bowever, that ' the daughters of Albion' were too busy witk tes^usefol—though to them scarcely les« esseo- tial—accomphshments, to piofit by hti bmt Cookery is a subject they "have never been taught to regard as wortby of their attention^ rather, indeed, as one to be avoided, for it » never discussed otherwise than apologe&cally, with a simpering sort of jocularity, or as some- tlung which It IS * low tokoow anything about. Whea a celrtain diplomatist was reminded that his mother had been a cook, hc dui not deny thb fact, but assured the company,' upon his honor, that she was a very bad one ' People in the best society do not hesitate to bore others with thetr ailments, and talk about cures and physic; bat conversation respecting preven tion-^wbicb is'better iKan cure—and whole¬ somely prepared fot)d,-is tabooed.
-Young ladies of the leisure classes are educa¬ ted to become uncommonly aouto critics of>all that pertains'to personal blandishment. Thoy keep an uncompromisingly tight hand over their milliners and Jadies' maids. They can tell to a thread when a flounce is too narrow or a tuck too deep. They are taught to a shade what col¬ ors suit their respective complexions, and to a hair bow lheir coiffure ought to be arranged. Woe,utito the aeatastress or hand-maiden who sinsin these matters! But her 'good plain cook'—when a damsel ia promoted to wedlock, and owns one—passes unreproached for the most heinoua offences. , Badly seasoned and ill assimilated soup; fish, without any fault of tha fishmonger, aoft and flabby; meat rapidly roas¬ ted before fierce flrea^—burnt'outside and raw within,; poultry rendered by tho same process tempting' lo the eye, till dissection reveals red and uncooked joints ! Theae crimes, from their frequency and the ignorance of 'the. lady of the bouse,' remain unpunished. Whereupon, husbands, tired of their Bormecide feasts— which disappoint the taste more because they have often a promising look to the eye—prefer better fare at their cluba ; and escape the Soylla of bad digestion, to be wrecked on the' Charyb- dis of domestic discord. All this is owing to the wife's culinary ignorance, and .to your Good. Plain Cooks.'
We do not say that the daughters of ihe wealthy and well-to-do should be submitted to regular kitchen apprenliceship.H, and taught iha details of cookery, any more than that they should learn to make shoes or to fit and sew dresses. But it is desirable that they should uc- quire principles—such principles as would en¬ able tbem to apply prompt correction to the er¬ rors of their hired cooks. It is no very bold assertion tbat were such a knowing and judi¬ cious supervision generaUy exercised, the stom¬ ach' diseases under which half our nation is aaid to groan> would be materially abated.
Let us take& step or two lower in the ladder of English life, where circumatances oblige the Good Plain Cook and the wife to be one and the aame person. Many a respectable clerk, and many a small farmer, is doomed from one year's end to another to a wearying proportion of cold, dry, uDcomfortable dinners, because hia wife*3 knowledge of cookery takes no wider range than that which pertains to the roasted, boiled, and fried. Thousands of artiaans and laborers are deprived of half tho actual nutriment of food, and of all the legitimate pleasures of the table, because iheir belter halves—though good plain cooks, in the ordinary acceptation of the term—aro in utter darkness as to cconomiaiDg, and rendering palatable the daily sustenance of their families. ' If we could see,* says a wri¬ ter before quoteJ, * by the help of an Asmod- ens what is going on at the dinner-hour of the humble or the middle class, what a spectacle of discomfort, waate, ill-temper, and consequent ill conduct, it would be ! The man' quarrels with his wife because there is noihing that he can eat, and he generally makes up in drink for the deficiencies of ihe article of food. Gm is the consolation to the spirits and the re¬ source to the baulked appetite. There is thus not only tho direct waste of food and detriment to health, but the farther consequent waste of lhe use of spirits, with its injury to the habits and the health. On thc other hand, people who eat will drmk moderately; tbe satisfaction of appetito with relish dispensing with resource to stimulants. Good-humor, too, and good health foUow a good meal, and by a good meal we mean anything, however simple, well dressed in its way. A rich man may live very expen¬ sively and very ill, and a poor one very frugally but very well, if it be his good fortune to have a good cook in bis wife or his servant; asd a ministering angel a good cook is, either in tbe one capacity or the other, not only to those in bumble circumstances, but to many above them of the class served by what are self-professed cooks, which is too frequently an affair of pro¬ fession purely, and who are to be diatinguished from plain cooks only in this, that chey require larger wages for spoiling food, and spoil much more in quantity, and many other articles to boot.'
Great would be the advantage to the commu¬ nity, if cookery were made a branch of female education. To the poor the gain would be in' calculable. ' Amongst tbe prizes which the Bountifuls of both sexes are fond of bestowing in the country,* we again quote the Examiner, * we should Hke to see some offered for tbe best-boiled potato, the best grilled mutton-chop, and the best seasoned hotch-potch aoup orbroth. In writing of a well boiled-potato, we are aware that we. shall incur tho contempt of many for attaching importance to a thing they suppose to be ao common ; but the fact is, that their con tempt ariaes, as is often the origin of contempt, from their ignorance, thero not beiug one per son in ten thousand who has ever seen or tast¬ ed that great rarity—a well-boiled potato.'
Thia is scarcely an exaggeration. The im¬ portance atiached to the point by the highest gastronomic authorities, is shown by what took place, some, years since, at the meeting of a Pall Mall Club Commiiteo specially called fot the selection of a cook. The candidates were an Englishman, from the Albion Tavern, and a Frenchman recommended by Ude. The emi¬ nent divine who presided in right of distin¬ guished connoisseurabip put the first questiori to the candidates. It was ibis :—* Can you boil a potato V
Let us hope that theso bints will fructify and be improved upon, and that the first principlea of cooking will become, in some way, a part of female education. In schools, however, this WiU be difficult. It can only be a branch of houeehoid education ; and until it does so be¬ come, we aball continuo to be afflicted with ' Gooil Plain Cooks.'
