Brucc, Secretary of the New York Children's Aid Society, write.s to the Now York Post, the following touching account of the struggles of a young girl with want, i and misery, and temptation iu the great wilderness, New York. Some two years ago a young Enjrlifh girl, of perhaps fifteen years, with refined manners, and pretty, though pale face, presented herself at our office and nervously asked for some place in a family in the coun try. Hhe told the usual story of poverty, and wo only observed that her hands were very thin aud honey, and her chocks hollow, and that on being assigned to an excellent 1 L *1 * mum: uy iuv. marcy, licr eyes filled with Ruddcn tears of thankfulness. Something was given her to eat. which she received quietly, and on the next day went to the plaec. Lately on a revisit to the city we learned the particulars of her history. She had been in England in good circumstances, as her manner and language showed; had Come over after the death of her father, and on the wiSting of hip property, to seek her fortune, as do so many others, in Am- l erica. She sought at once to enter some j trade, and to earn ? living ?*<> i? - - - ? ; ?< ??>?? i "?" j without mends, and with the crowded com- | petition of the city, sho could find no opening. In the sume way at the intelligence offices, after waiting for many days, she discovered no chance for herself. Each day her means were being exhausted, and she was at length forced to pawn all the ornaments and relics of better times. She w. reduced finally to living in a small aiuc room ot u tenement house, sleeping on some strawinonccorner, llourafter hour through the wenry day her little feet were traversing the streets, as she followed ndvertiscmcnN and looked for a chance to ' work. At last .die reached the point in which 1 every available means had been sacrificed, 1 every penny spent, and hunger stared her ' iu the face. She describes her feelings < then most touchingly. One day she could > ! get through quite comfortably without j ' jinvthiiifr tsi out- thn o/wnn.1 ?' ? 1 J c , 1..V. nxvunu, DIIC CIUUUUUU 1 herself in hor bed. " And do you know, | . hir. what I found best to stop the hunger'( I j Why, 1 drank water, and there I nray?d, ( and somehow [ always felt better and strong ' ger after it V" |( The third day, when it seemed as if she ] , could not hold out. much longer, she would , go faintly down stairs to a woman she kn ew J in one ot the lower rooms, and this woman Would offer her something to cat, which ( ?hc would take carelessly, no one ever sus- t pecting that the poor creature was being saved from starvation. t Tn f.lliu ?1- ? 1 v...? u.vuv \ji mv; aiic* fjrew so wcuk ^ she could scarcely walk, nnd as thin, she . b:\ys. an nny skeleton. She was attacked, t too, with terrible headaches, and some days, { ?hc is sure, she was delirious, for she now t remembers how she seemed sometimes to ( see angels and spirits in the little room j bringing Iter food. j. Once or twice hIic deternried to leg, i though she felt as if she wonld rather di-\ ; t and sho went into a storw, and said, gasp- ti ingly. "She was hungry/' The people i were very kind, and .sat her in a eliafr, and r gave her food, and once, she rceollects, a t tea cup of tea. t Then she lay of? her heap of straw, think i ing of the dear old English homo, and the \ comforts thero, the mother, and the days t that were gone, she would sometime* nay : " What Have I done to deserve this? Why should God pick me o?t to make me suffer so ? Why should I be so deserter* ?" i ( Owe day sbe- had gone down into the , lower room, andf ?afl ftlrero weafc ai%d des- j pairing, whon a gentleman entered wliom t nhe deserfbed a? very grand and wtnltliv ita his appearance. He ?poko to her kindly : said he w;.*-ehcd her go in and out, and ( flhat Mic must bo in misfortune; that ho Jwd so much admired her?yes, and loved | her! 8ho answered, gasping with weak- ( iicsh. >v iiy uo you couio here to insult t mo bccause I am poor?"

( J The ]>oor girl crouched down with her j head in her hands, confessed that for a moment the thought crossed her mind. Wlr.t if she should do this f No ono will know it. Hero is comfort and a home, an cfcape at length: and on the othcrside, n long, weary struggle and starvation. lJUt in the midst of this?she almost believes it was real?there seemed to come ... i r i " up uuiore nci a ngure OV Met- mother?she j mw the faco and the warning gesturo nl- j most us distinctly 08 she ever saw any one. j She seemed to call her away?and then i she thought of nil she had ever told her of heaven and God, nod she started up and said, with sobs and gasps?you may bo sure eloquently, for she tells the story now with eyes flowing with tears, and with tones that thrill the heart: " 1 know I am poor, I have nothing, no home and no frien Is, lam starving j but if you should give mo nil the money in i>cw lorfc, licapcd ten times over, I Would j not do this thing ! Why do you eoino here J to tempt mc and insult me because I am poor ? and she fell down gasping, but she saw the man* start back with face ghastly pale, paying : i " My CSod ? AY lint a sin you have saved , me from ! " That day she heard nccidcntly of the so- j , ciety to help children, and resolved to go j there for a Inst chance. If she failed there i the only thing loft for her scorned to bo 1 salt-destruction or death. We koow the happy result. The simple truthfulness and pathos of this girl's story cannot in any way be represented. Of all heroic scenes which the 1 upper Powers over look upon in this world, < what can surpass that where this poor, weak, starving girl, deserted of men, and seemingly almost abandoned by God,spurns from her the greatest of all temptations, and deliberately chooses starvation rather than dishonor or wrong ! Perchance among those in this day who sneer at or bargain for woman's virtue this little story out of the real life of New York, may show what a priceless pearl j this virtue is, that the lonely, famished | f?iri could choose the slow pangs of famine rather than lose it. ? ? Useful Mkdicat. Hints.?If a person swallow any poison whatever, or has fallen j into convulsions from having overloaded ! the stomach, an instantaneous remedy, ntoro efficient and applicable in a large number of causes than any half a dozen medicines we can now think of, is a teaspoolifhl of common salt and as much ground mustard stirred rapidly in a teacup of water, warm or cold, and swallowed instantly. It is scarcely down before it begins to come up, bringing with it the remaining contents or me stomach; aiul lest there be any remnant of poison, however small, let the white of an egg, or a teacnpfnl of strong coffee, ho swallowed as soon as the stomach is quiet; because these very common articles nullify a larger number of virulent poisons than any medicines in the shops. In cases of scalding or burning the body. immersing the part in the cold water j gives entire relief as instantaneously as 1 lightning. Meanwhile, get some common dry Hour, and apply it an incli or iwo thick on the injured part the moment it emerges from the. water, and keep on sprinkling the flohr through anything like a pepper-box ' cover, so as to put on evenly. l)o nothing ' else, drink nothing but water, eat nothing Until improvement commences, except some dry bread softened in very weak ten of some kind.
