On lowering waves beniglited, Dim sets the weary day: Thou art not here, my plighted, To smile the storm away. Where nymphs of Ocean slumber, I strike the measur'd stave. With wild and mournful number, To charm the wandering wave. Hark! to the winds of sorrow Along the fading main! .' Tis night-but will the morrow Restore that smile again? \Mid curtain'd dreams descending, Thy gentle form I trace, Dimly with shadows blending, I gaze upon thy face; Thy voice comes o'er me gladly, Thy hand is on my brow, I wake-the waves roar madly Beneath the plunging brow. Speed on thou surging billow, O'er ocean speed away! And bear unto her pillow The burden of my lay: Invest her visions brightly, With Passion's murmur'd word, And bid her bless Him of the lute and sword. And her of dreams unclouded, With tongue of lisping tale, Whose eye I felt soft shrouded 'Neath slumber's misty veil, When morn at length discloses The smile ] may not see, Bear to her cheek of roses A Father's kiss for me. LIFE IN NEW-YORK. The population of this city is not much short of 300,000 souls, or 60,000 families. Every man, high orlow, other than the cultivator of the earth, lives by his wits. But to live by one's wits, one must have something of a stock in trade to set up upon; and where wits are the stock in trade, it is very natural that business should be divided into a great many branches, as it is in a city. Some taking to merchandize, some to loafing, some to wri- ting, some to begging, some to 'going out to day's work done here,' and others to courts and courting,-to the F¥eri Facias and Cap- ias satisfaciendam. Pat Waters was landed at the foot of Rec- tor just after the late war, destitute and pen- niless, without a farthing in his pocket or a friend in the country. He commenced by picking up all manner of bones and pieces of meat around the mar- kets and in the streets, which he boiled out. The fat extracted in this way he sold to the soap boilers, and the bones to the button ma- kers, until he raised the means of buying a litter of pigs, which he fed upon the liquor in which the bones had been boiled, with the addition of such articles of garbage as he 'could fall in with among the hunters of the county market. By the proceeds of his bones, fat and pigs, he became enabled in time to purchase a cart with which he mo- nopolized all the swill of a large neighbor- hood-extended his pork factory, shipped his bones to Europe where he met with a ready sale-built a large establishment out of town, where he carried on his business, and in the course of' a few years amassed in this way an independent fortune. Thousands since his time have followed the same pursuit, but competition has unfortunately divided the profits, into too many hands to enable his successors to retire with the same success. Store sweepings, and street gleanings of every description, if they have founded many fortunes, have been the means of feeding many a hungry mouth. An observer would be surprised at the large amount of rubbish, seemingly of no value, that is picked up, as- various chiffoniers, and kennel serapers, who are constantly on the alert with their bags or baskets, particularly early in the morning, in search of old rags, paper, metals, broken glass, bones, dog manure, coal cinders, &c., for which they find ready purchasers, in the various junk shops, factories and {anneries, in the city. - One man complained not many years since of dull times, because he could not earn over two or three dollars a day in the dog manure line, alleging that the business was ruined by the great competition he met with in his business by the German emigrants, who hav- ing whole families to send out at day break, generally scoured the city before brealtfast time, leaving no nook or corner unsearched, and nothing available untouched. Cold victuals, which is frequently implor- ed from the charitable housekeepers in tones of the deepest despondency, had accepted with demonstrations of the most profound pumllity and gratitude, are also converted info merchantable articles-the fat pieces are selected out to undergo the process of the try- kettle, the vegetables are culled out to feed hogs, and the daintier bits of fish, flesh and fowl, are sold to the keepers of boarding hou- ses and cook shops at the Five Points, at the foot of Dover street, up to the Hook and oth- er places of similar reputation. The amount thus disposed of is incalculable. 'The per- sons who traffic in this way prepare their children like actors for the various parts they have to play, - The smallest, with baskets and bags, dressed in tattered garments, are despatched to solicit broken viands from door to dpor; colton bales, &e.; the girls each take an infant by the hand, the mother borrows a sick baby to excite the sympathies of the humane, and scattering themselves around the most frequented parts of the city, with organ grinders and scissors grinders-water sorted and systematically disposed of by the} the most doleful: expressions, and the most pitiful lamentations, solicit clmrlty‘flpm ave- ry passenger. - 'The father of this interest- ing hosehold rigs himself up to coustérfeit lameness or blindness, or afflicts his limbs with fictitious ulcers, to excite pity, and ex- tort a charitable tribute from the way-farer; and having disposed of the products accumu- lated in their various peregrinations, they all meet together at night to drink wa merry at the expense of those who had com- passion upon them in the day time. In Elm street, near Five Points, there is a rendezvous or retreat for vagabonds of every descrpition. _ It is located about thirty or forty feet below th» surface of the street-the apartment is some ten or twelve yards square, into which the light of the sun is never seen. In the subterraneous recess, in cold weather is placed a furnace of embers the fumes from which find no difficulty in escaping through the multiplicity of apertures in the apart- ment. - At the door sits an old black woman, who demands from the lodgers as they enter, three cents, for which sum they are permit- ted to lay upon the floor, with their feet to- ward the fire around the furnace. When the circle is complete, the old wo- man locks the door, puts the kéy into her pocket, and goes to sleep herself, leaving the sleeping radii, composed of both sexes, all colors and all habits, to repose together till morning, when they are all turned out again in the street to pursue their various avocations. © Breakfast as Jeremy Diddler says, delight- ful sound-by far the most interesting peri- od of the day to some. Ays, to handreds, who rise not knowing where or how one may be procured. With those that have the means, nothing is more easy, and breakfast may be obtained at almost any price. [{ you go to Delmonico's it will cost precisely ten times the amount that you can buy one for at Sweeney's; at the former place you may breakfast for any sum up to a dollar, and a bungry man will not feel much distress in de- vouring that amount, while at Sweeney's you may surfeit an Alderman with half the sum. At the markets you may get a so so breakfast for sixpence,.and at loafer's Hall, in Water street, you may get a comfortable warm dejeumner (if you are not over particu- lar, and like hash,) for threepence York money. Lodgings, at the same place, for three cents on the floor; for six cents in a bunk, with only two companions-and only one shilling for a whole bunk and clean straw. Blessed be the pesace-makers, for nothing more contributeth to humble, poor, sinful humanity than the boarding and lodg- ings of loafer's Hall. ~ Whole communities live upon the pro- ceeds of the sales of Loco-Foco matches, scented soaps, penny combs, peony newspa- pers, almanacks, and in the season, radish- es, green corn, straw-berries, and various other fruits and vegetables, hawkéd about the streets by children of all ages and sizes and colors. Poffers at Auctions--drummers for traders -decoy ducks in segar stores-talesmen in courts-procurers, protectors and bullies of various kinds-sham husbands-foundling nurses-forestallers-bond-signers, and e- ven the vile informer, and the shabby, subtle scutrilous penny-aliner, all receive their per diems for the different parts they have to per- form in the avery day of life. Crockery and tin ware squatters, who locate them- selve upon the corners around the markets; old hat traders, itinerant umbvella dealers; carriers and ice servants-key fitters-gla- ziers--private night watchmen, and public dock wallopers, are all tolerated in this way, and like the rest.of their fellow citizens, live upon one another-every one has his mark- et, and every one is in demand. From the Baltimore Gazette. AN INTERESTING CASE. 'To the editor of the Baltimore Gazette. & New- York Feb. 10, 1888. \Be ye as pure as ice, as chaste as snow, ye will not escape calumny!\ Iam forcibly reminded of the justice of this aphroism, by a publication which ap- peared in your and other papers, some time since, in relation to the. rumorus of this} scandal-loving metropolis. Had I been asked to designate a family in which domestic happines prevailed without alloy, I should have named the identical one, whom calumny and falsehood had selected as its victim. The husband blessed with competence, in the enjoyment of an extensive and lucrative practice, eminent in his profession, beloved by his patients. His drawing room enrich- ed with the evidence of their gratitude, in costly presents of splendour, silver vases, elegant Bibles and various other testimonials of their esteem; pious, without ostentation or parade. His wile devoting herself with ex- emplary fidelity to the promotion of his hap- piness and the education of fine interesting children, which her well cultivated mind eminently qualified to superintend in person --the who'e family presented an example of rational happiness to an extent that might excite envy. At this stage of their existence -the envenomed shafts\ of slander assailed their peaceful abode. Busy rumors, first in low whispers, then emboldened by the avid- ity with which the tale of horror was propa- gated in louder strains asserted that the wife of his bosom-she who to him was more than sister and next to God, was a murderess, Goaded to phrenzy, he immediately offered a reward of one thousand dollars for the propagator of the atrocious falsehood; a fe- was said to have stated that she knew some- thing of the facts-and had so informed Mrs. who, on being called on, avowed that she had not seen the female: alluded to for many years, and would not know her even by sight. ' - , She was sought for, and found in the inte- rior of the state, and on her examination, testified she not only had never so said, but on the contrary knew the assertion to be false; for on the very day and mght on wine“! the poisoned coffee was sent, she was NUTS~ wer ing Mrs. R- in a sick bed, not baving strength enough to sit up, or communicate with any other than her nurse or physician. A valet in Paris was reported to have said he was induced to leave this country in order to conceal his knowledge of the transaction; his testimony was taken, and his entire igno- rance even of the rumor, fully ascortained; Itis to an unprincipled foreigner who had enjoyed the hospitalities of this family, and presuming upon their kindness; had taken offence at being repulsed in his aitempts at intimacy-vowed revenge, and scattered his Parthian arrows as he left our shores. This exposition is superfluous here where the family are known, and the generous sym- pathy of a large circle of friends, seek' to al- leviate by increased attentions, the agony of feeling created by a calumny atrocious as unfounded, but with you the newspapers have given it circulation, and they as well as yourself, are desired to give the antidote a circulation co-extensive with the Poison.\ BURIAL OF LT. SPOOR. «Hark! the muffled drum sounds the last march of the brave, The soldier retreats to his last quarters-the Grave.\ . The remains of Lieutenant Caazruses Hen- ry Epwarp Spoor, of the United States a Army, who fell a victim to disease, the seed of which was sown in the feverish swamps of the Floridas, while on his way to co-op- erate with General Scott, in the defence of our northern frontier, at Lockport, Niagara county, that were exhumed from their temporaryinterment at that place, were de- posited with military honors, by the side of those of his soldier father, Captain. John .D. Spoor, in the family burying ground, on Friday, the 16th inst. _ Notwithstanding the weather was extremely unfavorable, never was there known so great a multitude of peo- ple to- have heen collected together in our village before. > . The number assembled at the church, and those who were obliged to return without be- ing able to procure seats or even a place to stand within the building, (the inclementy of the weather rendering it impossible for - any to remain on the out side,) were estima- ted at three thousand souls. The services at the church were in the highest degree in- teresting. - Mr. J. EB. Bogardus and bis choir, with the assistance of a violincello, clarinet and flute, performed several pieceg of music, admirably adapted to the occasion, In & sweet, harmonious and impressive manner. The Throne of Grace was solemnly and ve- ry appropriately addressed by the Rev. J. W. Green, and a most eloquent and soul stiring eulogium was pronounced by the Rev. Jerk Searle. The procession then moved in the same order in which it marched to the chirch, in conveyances, to the home of his bitth, a distance of three miles, where it again took up the line of march, and moved to the grave, a few rods distance from the homestead, under appropriate marshal music, and through a most bitter and tedious snow storm, where the coffin was deposxted. in the receptacle prepared for it, and over It three rounds of musketry were discharged by Cap- tain Rose's company of Light infantry.

P e How to save in lilile matters.-Procure & book and keep an exact account of all your expenditures. At the expiration of three months, review the account and see how much you have expended in your fourpenny and ninepenny items which you. could have done without as well as not. Then see to if that each ensuing quarter shall be minus just those things. In many cases the aggregate would be found more considerable than you wouild be aware of, unless you kept an ac- count. A gentleman, after great misfortunes, came to a lady he had long courted, atid told her his cireumstances were so reduced that he was actually in want of five guiness. 'I am very glad to hear it,' replied she.- ' Is this your affection for me!' he replied, in | a tone of despondency, 'why are you glad?\ 'Because,\ answered she, 'if you want five guineas, I can put you in possession of five male who had been an inmate of his family, thousand! a stag as
