SOKGS OF FIFTY YEAES AGO.
KO. II.—TKE CAMBRIC SHIRT.
" Fnnd memory brings the light of oilier day" around me."
Can you make a cambric shirt?^ Every row ^arowa merry in time,
¦Without any threna or fino needle-work, And vou shall be n truo lovor of mine.
Can you wash it iu yonder well ?
Everv row grows merry in tune, Whero'nover .ipring-wntcr or rai
rain-water
foil,
Aud vou .shall ho a true lover of mine.
Can you dry it on yonder thorn ?
Every row grows merry in lime, Tliat never boro a blossom, nor snu .shono on.
And 3'OU shall bo a truo lover of mine.
\Voll, ainco you'vo   a.sked  mo que.«lIons threo.
Every row grows merry in timo, I hope you'll grant nie the samo liberty,
And J-ou ahall be a truo lover of mine.
Cau you plow nn acre of land ?
Every row grows merrj- in time, Betwee'n the aea shore and solid dry sand,
And you shall bo a truo lover of mine.
Can you sow it with ono jiepper corn?
Every row grows merry in time. And harrow it witli a singlo bnckhom.
Then you shall bo a true lover of mine.
¦ Can you reap it wilh n .sickle of lealher? Every row prows merry iu time, -\nd laiud It all up in a peacock's fcalher, Tlien 3*011 shall bo a truo lover of mine,
When   you'vo   dono   and   finished   your worlt, lOvery row grows merry iu time. Then come unto   me  for  your  cambric .shirt. And you shall bo ii truo lovor of mine.
* This mny possibly bo ^oes, Instead of "grows." The sense 1:^ very doubtful. It Is certain, however, tlmt some persons under¬ stood the word to be " goes." and continued to alngltvo. J^oir'was supposed tu bare alluded to rows of stitching, and furrows or rows In plow'lns.
We believe tb.it. In seiiuenceof time, thia was the flrat aong we ever learned —atleast wo cannot ¦now recall to our raemorj* anj' of an earlier period, M'hioh must have been about tho year *1S19 ; but how Ions hefore that time it liad been .sung, ia more than we can tell.— However, for ton j-ears or more after tlmt period, it was still occasionally sung. Whut gave it popularity, per¬ haps, was the livelj- littlo air by whieh it was sung, and which was in two-four time. The air was sometimes plaj-od on tho " life and drum," find was con¬ sidered a good quicksteji to march bj'. Thetliird and fourth lines In each stan¬ za were invariably repeated in ainging this song, and slill they did not seem inonotonoHs.
As this song, like manj- others, was transmitted from one to another orally, and perhaps nevei> was written—at least so far as relates to the period allu- iled to—thero waa sometimes aquestion as to the proper, or original reading.— >'or instance, it waa ahvaj's questiona¬ ble as to whether, in the second line, " Every row grows" should not road, " Everj- roae grows," &c. OC course, it is a matter of vorj- Uttle importance; tbo line being a mere chorus, and hav¬ ing uo connectiou with the general .sub¬ ject of tho song, any more than "Tit- teree nan and tarrio" would have.— This style of ballad compositivn was verj- common then, and also at a much later period. The sentiment of the aong conveys no special moral, anj- more than to show that if a young man can propose a bundle of impossible con¬ ditions, before he conseuta to be a " true lover," aj'oung woman cau meet him on thesame ground. Perhaps, after all, this involves an important proposition, for many men exact a degree of perfec¬ tion in a woman, wliich they by no means possess themselves, and who can say that one party ought necessarily to be more perfect than the other. 'Tis said that this is tho rock upon which Lady Byron wrecked her happiness. She married Lord Byron knowing that lie was a reckless libertine, but expect¬ ed thatphe could reform him. He only sneered at her, to think that sheshould have so far risked her domestic peace, as to suppose that she could ever re¬ claim him. Se proposed the "cambric shirt," she should have proposed the "acreof ground." Thia is the morale of thesong; but waiving this, how many of the fashionable young women of the present daj- can make a cambric shirt, or wash It, or dry it properly, with all the appliances that modern art and mechanism bavo invented?—or if they con, how mauy are willing to do it?— Perhaps about as many as there are young men, who can, and are wiUing, to plow an acre of ground, and sow and reap it. Agaiu, is it likely that if a young man or woman were to propose conditions upon a similar subjectatthe present day, they would include tbe making of a shirt, ortheplowlngof the ground. Would it not be rather, "Can you dance a finished quadrille?" ic, d-c, or, "Can you sport a killing mous¬ tache?" <tc., <Sc.
Wo are none of those who believo that either women or men should be incessantly worked like oxen or horses, but somehow work Is becoming eo un¬ fashionable, that it is fast losing its power as a aimilo in the illustration of morals, and it would not he surprising to find the homely admonition, "Work out j'ourown regeneration"changed to " Waltz it out." Perhaps this may be thought to he making too serious a matter out of an trifling a aubject, but if we could not furnish aome useful food for moral digeation, then we should re¬ gard our cogitations on these old songs as worse than useless.
Wedonot knowtiieexact geographi¬ cal range of this aong, nor where it may Jiave been supjiosed to have originated, hut this we know, that at least ilfty yearsago, it waa common in the dis¬ tricts twelve or flfteen miles west of Ijancaster citj-, and also the same dis¬ tance east of it, for within a few days past w-e raet an old friend, who in his earliest boj-hood had learned it, and had often sung it in the vilhige of New Holland, and to u-hom weare indebted for a " shining np " of our memorj-, in reference to some of its connecting lines, and which had nenrlj- been for¬ gotten bv u«. -Vll tlie boya of our neighborhood, in those earlj- daya, could w-histle tlie tunc, if they could not sing tho song' of the "Cambric .Shirt." We have also in our mind's ej'e, hevj-s of girls, just budding into ¦womanhood, who w-ore the thing per¬ fectlj- " thread-hare." Ilisastonishing what a powerful in.strument "agood tune" is, in retaining things in the memory—often ordinarj- and discon¬ nected thinga—and quite as often sense- ]cs.s, unmeaning, aud foolish things. Years ago we committed to memorj- Hood's "song of the shirt "—we think it was Hood's-which had a significant meaning, but it has uearlj' all faded away, simplj' because we had never learned the air—if it ever had one—by ¦which it was, or could be sung. Thua music has a power in developing, shap¬ ing, and perpetuating memories, which uotbing else ha.s, in the same degree, and thus has musio carried the "Cam¬ bric Shirt" through a long succession of eventful years. Grantellus.
P. S.—A few-, mainly unimporlant, typographical errors have crept into our introductory arlicle, which perhaps might as well be corrected in thia place. The reader of course will know that the word " there," In the Tth line from the bottom of thefirst paragraph ought tobe these. The word "drawing" in the Oth line from the bottom of the fourth paragraph should be drawling. In the 14th line from tho top of the last paragraph, the word "inferior" should be interior, or inlernal; because, an evil is not inferior simply because it is refined. In the 27th and 28th lines nf the same paragraph, we wrote Hy-

fercriHcal instead of " Hypocritical." he latter term means assuming a false and deceitful appearance, dissembling, or concealing one's motives, which Is the very farthest from our meanlne. But the former term means over-criti¬ cal, or, animadverting on errors with unnecessary or unjuat severity, ¦which perhaps, under all the clrcnmstances, may be the case.	
THE STONE VATILT.
I have heen with Morris & Grlnby llve-and-thirty yeara, come the first of next month. I was forty when I came here, and so I have a habit of being exact about dates; am now within a few weeks of seventy-five. But as for being old, bless you, I'm younger than the youngest clerk, Tom Codgers, who, what ¦with late suppers and hard drink¬ ing, haa a hand that shakes like those old ledger leaves blowing in the wind by the open window yonder.
Cold water, early hours and temper¬ ance in all things keep a man halo his Ilfe through. Ifyou don't believe that, look at me; I'm an example, sir. Yes, I've seen changes here. The firm was "Morria, Grlnby <fc Bloom" when I came, though young Bloom died three months after, and young Grlnby was taken into partnership. We had a fire here, too, and the oflices have been re¬ built ou a difl'erent plan. Ah, yes- changes euough, sad and pleasant; but tho strangest aud saddest of all was what happened to poor Ben Wade.
All, dear me! It did seem hard, very hard, looking at it with human eyes, and forgetting, as we are apt to, that God does everything for the best.
Perhaps you don't know how this house Is built. It's an old place, al¬ though the front and oflices are new, and thoae great balustrades were only put up laat year. Down below you can Judge how very old It is. Buch a cellar, sir—such massive walla, and all paved with alone; and helow the cellar a amall stone vault, which Codgers, who laughs at serious things, .says the old flrm built to be buried in. My own opinion is, it was iutended to conceal valuables, for It has a grate and plated door and three locks, each fastened witb a difl'erent key—that ia, if they wero ever fastened ftt all. The vault waa disused long hefore mj- time. Well, air, I hadn't been here six months, when oue day, or rather one evening, for it was nearly alx—merch.mts kept late hours in those daya—I had occa¬ sion to go down into the cellar before going home, to give directions to the porter about aome bales to be sent up In the earlj' morning next day.
Mike and I were un at the north end of the cellar, where the bales w-ere, and I was giving him my orders, when at my elbow, as it seemed, I iieard an odd aouud—a kind of wheezing cough, amothered in a raoment.
I looked around, there was nobody there—not a soul; and I thought how our cara deceived ua; lo he sure, and went on talking. But, I give j'ou my wordIhadn't.spi)ken three words when there •ft'aa that sound again. It quite startled me. " Mike," said I. " did vou cough?" " No, air, aaid Jflke, " 1 thought your honor did."
"It must bo iraagiu.ilioii, or come from the ofllce overhead," I aaid, but juat then ough—ough. We both heard it. " It'a no good, yer honor," aaid Mike. "Thereaome one hiding iu the cel¬ lar," said I.
Bo, with Mike'a lantern, we went over the greot atone paved place, looking be¬ hind boxes and bales, and under the steps, and up the coal alide. But not a soul did we flnd, until, pasaing the door of tbe vault, I heard it, this time very faint and strange, and called out to Mike.
"Whoever it is, la hidden in the vault."
And with that we both turned stair- ward, and bolted into Mr. Grinby's of¬ fice together. The olil gentleman, Grlnby senior. He don't come to the ofllce once a year now, for he's past ninety. Old Mr. Grinby waa juat lock¬ ing his desk and buttoning his over¬ coat. He stared at us through his gla.ss- es and ejaculated,
" Blesa me, Humphries, is tho house on flre?"
" No, sir," said I, " but there is some one hidden in the stone vault."
" Bah!" said Mr. Grinby, " I thought you had more sense, Mr. Humphries. No one could exiat ten minutes in the stone vault. It ia next thing to air¬ tight."
" It's my belief, sir, that whoever it is, may be choking to death, sir," I said ; " but there is some one there.— Mike heard a cough as well as I."
"¦Very well,"said Mr. Grlnby "call the nearest constable, Jlike, and—Mr. Morris, are you in you oflice, sir?" Perhapa you'll come down wilh us and assist In the capture of a burglar Mr. Humphries haa discovered iu the air¬ tight stone vault helow the cellar."
He was very satirical; so w-as Mr. Morris. But we all went down together, the constable with us, and stopped be¬ fore the stone vault. The door waa shut so tight that it took all Mike's strength to force it open. And Mr. Grlnbj', looking straight; before him, shouted : "Ha, ha, nobodj', aa I told you." But the next minute he aaw what the rest of ua had already seen—a bundle of r.igs in one cornerof the vault, dowu on the floor. And amidst the rags was a white face and a thin hand, and a bare, bruised and bleeding foot. And we dragged out into such air aa there waa In the cellar a miaerable wretch of a little boy who seemed quite dead.
Up in the olllce, however, we brought him to life, and got thestorj-from him. He lived, it aeema, amongst thieves, and they had planned to rob ua that night, and he, poor little midge, had alipped in somehow, and hidden in the cellar, to open the door for tbem, never thinking anj- one would come there that night.
But wheu Mike and I went down he took to the vault and there would have smothered but for my hearing him. I don't care to tell j'ou how we kept him and fllled the place with constables, who, when the burglars came, pounced upon them and took them Into custody. You can guess all that. It's the boy I have to tell you about—poor Ben Wade. It came out during the Investigation consequent upon the arrest that the poor child waa kept amongst the thievea bj- force, and that they uaed him cruel- Ij-. Once a rufllan of the gang had broken hia leg In a drunken fury and he limped yet from the injury. He was such a pale, worn, miserable thing that every one felt merciful to him, and it w-aa decided to pardon him and send hira to the poor house.
But tliat verj- morning Grlnby, junior —a J-oung man—came into the olliee where hia father sat and put hia hand upon his arm.
"Father," says lie, " 1 want to o.sk JOU a favor. 1 want my owu w-aj- iu one thing."
" Well," saiil the old gentleman, "let me hear j-on."
" I want to take Ben Wade into this Iiouse as an errand hnj-," aaid young Rlr. Grinby.
" Hey ?" said the old gentloman, " whot, a young housebreaker aa errand boy.   Bless mj-soul!"
"Father," said young Grinby, " the boj' is naturally a good boy. I like him, I want to save him. Perhaps, ifl had not so good a father to guide me and to care for me, I might have beon worse than he. I don't ask j'ou to trust lilm, sir. I only ask leave to trust him my¬ self. I am sure he will prove deserving of confldence."
Old Mr. Grlnby took out his snuff¬ box, and looked at Mr. Morris.
"I've noticed the lad's eye; it's a good one," said Mr. Morris.
"It's a risk," said Mr. Gricbj', " but we'll consider."
And I suppose the result waa what young Grinby wanted, for little Ben Wade came to ns the next Monday.
Now he was clean and whole, he ditl not look so bad, and good food and no abuse made a difl'erence In him in a week.
In a month or so people stopped pre¬ dicting that young Grinby would repent some day; and In a year I don't think there was one in the ofllce who didu't love that boy. Bo grateful, and ao trustworthy, and so ready to do every¬ thing for every one. Young Mr. Grln¬ by had him taught, and well taught, too. The lightning calculator might beat him, but I doubt it; and I never knew that lad to forget to dot his 1'b or cross his t's, In all my acquaintance with him after he had learned to write at all.
At twenty he waa one of the beat clerks in onr establishment, besldea be-

I took a fancy to him—a aister, sir, of one
of the young fellows at onr place, and a girl who looked like a queen, and was as good aa she waa handsome.
I used to meet them w-alking on the battery where lovers used to walk in those days. He was so foud and proud of her, and she had such a tender way of looking at him, that they made my old heart j'Oung again, as I often told Mrs. Humphreys, to whom I always confide everything. And how he rev¬ erenced her; why, a ribbon, or a faded flower, that she had worn, were cher¬ ished by him aa a miser cherishes his gold.
At last he told mc, in confidence—for her name was sacred and not to be spo¬ ken before every one—that they were to be married.
"And when I look back, sir," said he, "and remember the miserable yeara of my wretched childhood and think how friendless and forlorn I waa, and how there was nothiug before me but a prison or the gallows, and think that now I have everything to make man's life blessed—the power to win a respect¬ able livelihood, the reapect of honest men, and the love of such a girl as Lu¬ cy—I can never be too grateful to the kind friend who saved me from a life I dare not contemplate. God bless Mr. Grinby!" said he, lifting his hatrever- entlj' as he inight In church, and there was a prayer in hia dark eyes as he looked upward.
Thoae were the last worda I ever heard him speak, except "Good night." Ah, dear me, it ahould have been good bye. Teu minutes after I ¦H-ent one way and he the other. I took my way home, and he, as it seemed afterwards, walked Juat two blocka and then came back here. At twelve o'clock that night I awoke Mrs. Humphries.
" My dear," said f, " I must have had the nightmare or something."
" Goodnes," aaid she, "it seema so. Your hands are like ice. What gaveit to you, love? The lob.ster, I'll be bound."
"Perhaps," aaid I. "I admit late a late hearty supper. And nothing else could make me faney young Wade at my bedside, white aa a ghoat, with both hands on my breaat."
"Ah, but the nightmare ia always black, not white," said my wife. And then ahe went to a little cupboard and brought meaglasa of wine. Afterthat I went to sleep again.
I did not rise early, and was quite he- hind my usual time. But when I reached our place I found it in great commotion. Clerks running hither aud thither, the heads of the firm atanding about in the most unbusiness like manner, and three constables on the premises.
"What Is the matter, air?" I said, addressing Mr. Grlnby.
" Matter enough," said he; " we've been very heavily robbed."
" I fancied that couldn't happen here," aaid I. "I really believed it would be impossible for burglars to break into Morris, Grinby & Son'ssir." "Ah," said be, "they did not break in. Tiie door has been quletlj' oijoned from tbe inside."
"Ami I believe—," began .Mr. Mor¬ ris.
"fiir," cried young Mr. Grinbj', out of breath, " I beg as a genlleman, aa a man of principle, j'ou will not give ut¬ terance to yonr tinfounded suspicion— totallj' unfounded and unworthy of you."
" Prove them so, sir," aaid Mr. Mor¬ ris, coollj', " and I'll apologize." I looked an Inquiry. "Don't aak explanation, I beg, Mr. HumphrIea,"8aIdMr.Grinbj'. "Some¬ thing haa been aaid, which the speaker will regret.   -\li, there come.?i mj' raes- aenger." And lu ran one of our boy.s. ¦ " Well, Tom?" aaid Mr. Grinbj'. "Mr. Wade ain't beeu home all night, sir, aaid Tom. " I told you ao, said Mr. Jlorria. "Aud I tell J'OU eveu yet I will not hoar mj' dear friend's—jes, mj' verj' dear friend's—character a.spersed," said young Grinby.   "Humphries, I know you  love Ben Wade, na I do.   Fancy imagining  him   connected with  this robbery.   A» well auspect mj' father, mysolf or J-ou."
"He's missing," said Mr. Morris, abutting the ofllce door upon us three. " He was seen to return lato in the evening. He was one of a band of house-breakers when we took him in, and manj' declare the character to be formed al six years old. Hewas nine. I believe be has been won hack to lila old ways."
"You will not express your belief to othera," said Mr. Grinby.
"Not as yet, most certainly," said Mr. Morris.
'Well, sir, that was a bitter day to me—a bitter day. We could learn noth¬ ing of J-oung Wade after eight o'clock on the previous night. Then several had seen him. He had taken tea at a little cofl'ee house, as he sometitnea did when he did not Intend to return home until quite late, and had said to aome one there, " I muat go back to the of¬ flco, I have forgotten something."
Half an hour afterwards Mike,   the porter, had passed Into the street, and young Wade had said: "What'a the time, Mike?" The porter told him. " I aball be too late,"  he aaid.     "T have au engagement, and mustgohack to our place for aparcel I've forgotten." An apple woman on the corner had seen him enter.   He often bought fruit from her for lunch and she knew him well by sight.
There the news ended, until Mike, going In to light the fires, found the placo a aceue of confusion—desks and safes rified, papers strewn about, and every mark of systematic burglary.
Later in the day Luey Evans came down. Her brother had sent her word of what had occurred. She believed .some terrible accident had happened to Ben, and begged tbe flrm fo spare no efrorta to discover him. She was al¬ most diatracted, and who ean wonder. They had been going together, itseem¬ ed, to see aome play the night before, and she had been sulliciently alarmed by his falling to keep the appointment to be in a measure prepared for worse. She knew he intended to bring her a hook. He had spoken of it. That must have been the parcel he went back for. Of course she never doubted him, and no one dared to hint at what had boen whiapered in her presence.
For weeks, sir, the authorities were at work. Immense rewards were ot¬ fered for the burglars, and for the re¬ covery, alive or dead, of young Benja¬ min Wade, but with the least efl'ect.
We were n'ltified of everj' oodj' washed aahore, and of everj' unknown man found dead for montbs, and at last tliece were few who did not laugli at poor Ben's friends for their credulitj'. It seemed plain to tbem—and niaj- lieaven not judge them as they judged their brother-Ben Wade waa guilty.
Poor Lucy never looked up. It waa easy euough to see that her heart was broken, and in a j-ear ahe died; just a week too soon to hear what I shall tell J-ou.
Ono morning I waa very bu.sy at my desk In the ofllce when a gentleman came in and asked for either Mr. Mor¬ ris or Mr. Grinby. Old Mr. Grinby was at home with the gout, but Mr. Morria and the j-oung gentleman were in. I aaw the gentleman waa a clergy¬ man and fancied he had called to solicit subscription forsome new church. But hia flrst words mado me start. They were these;
" You remember, of course, a bur¬ glary commitied here a year ago, or more."
I could not keep my seat then, but went forward, trembling like a leaf.
Young Mr. Grlnby had turned quite faint, and ^yas leaning against the wall for support.
" You are agitated," aaid the clergy¬ man ; " I fear you will be still more af¬ fected by what you must soon hear. A peraon now in custody, condemned to execution, has a confession to make to J'OU in regard to thataff'air-a very hor¬ rible one, I fear."
He took a card from his pocket, and wrote afew lines.
"Ifyou will call at the prison any time to-day, you will be too late. It Is Friday, and he is to sufl'er execution at dawn. Present thia, ifyou pleaae, and I implore you, ask no questions now." Before they could say much, he was gone—afraid. I think, to be the first to tell the story; and our gentlemen called a cab, and took me with them at my request. They seemed to expect ua at the prison, and we were admitted. But in the narrow corridor Morris stopped us.
"Gentlemen," he said, "j'on muat nerve yourselves. Have you reflected that you may see Benjamin Wade when yonder door is opened 7"
Young Grinby put his hand upon bis heart, and seemed turning faint wain. It was the fiist time tbe thonght had
entered my mind, and It was a blow. It staggered me.
The next minute the turnkey flung the door open, and we were in tbe cell. On the floor lay a man—a broad-shoul¬ dered fellow, in rough garmeuts—who seemed to have cast himself down in grief or terror. It was not lien Wade. At flrst I thought I had never seen the face he lifted as he arose. In a moment it came to me.
It was the leader of the gang who had been arrested for that old attempt at robbery, when we had found little Ben In the stone vault,
" You've come, have you," said lie, aitting down on the atone seat, " and I see you know me. They've caught me again, and It's murder this time, and I have got to awing. If it wasn't for that no peraon 'u(i have got this out of me. But I've promised, and I always keep mj" word, I do. You remember a young man eailed Ben Wade?"
" Whatof him?" we cried in a breath.
" Not mueh—he didn't rob your place, that's all.. Wo done it—Dick Burch and Slippery Tom and me. Tell you how it was. You know that hoy in¬ formed on us, and I was locked up for hard labor for more years than most men live. I didn't stay, though; I cut OfT, and came home. And tho flrst thing 1 did was to vow vengeance on that boy. Whyj there he was, a gay young buck, in flne toga, Avith the handling of money, and thought of, and trusted, just for having done for us. Proud, too, wouldn't speak to ua in the street. Threatened to give information if he ever aaw one of us prowling about. I heard It all. I swore I'd flx him, and It seemed to come to me.
" One night I was agoin' to Slapper'a shades to have a drink. Burch was with me; and In a quiet sort of street we came up to Ben, in a mighty hurry.
" I'd have knocked him ou the head, but Burch stopped me.
"'See what he's up to,'said be. And we followed He went down to j'Our place, and went lu. He left the door ajar, and we made the beat of it. He was coming out, with a book or some¬ thing In his hand, and we met him.— He was plucky, I tell you. One of us wouldn't have got off" so easy, but we went two to one. We gagged and tied him, and made a clean sweep of the place that night.
"And Ben—my God, did Ben think we would not believe him?" cried Mr. Grinbj'. " He had but to come to us¬ to tell the truth. Where is he 7 Do you know! Speak!"
The robber was fuming the hue of ashes. His words came slowly. His eye glanced over bia ahoulder and he backed up against tbe wall.
" We locked him up in a stone vault," be said, and took the keys with us. If you look you'll find him there."
And Mr. Grinby fainted outright in my arms.
Well, sir, tlio robber's words were true. The atone vault was opened that daj', and there—no matter. It waa easier to know the ring he wore, and the kej-3 and the pui-.se iu liia pocket than poor Ben ¦VVade.
Tbe flrat thing Mr. Humphries said, was : " Thank Heaven, Lucy cannot know it." And the next he sobbed— " Oh but the certainty would have been better for her, after all. And then to know his name was clear."
And so that is the atory of our atone v.iult; and strange as It Is, it is quite true. You may see his grave close be- aido Lucy's any daj'. And Mrs. Hum¬ phries—she's a romantic woman, sir— aaj's sho thinks tho violets and roses grow there of their own accord, under the white monument.
