SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 19. 1869. -T In the Nineteenth Ward bordering P? little two-story frame house, covering; al most an entire square, surrounded by a beautiful garden, the occupant and own er ol which though a German, is what we call one of tho self-made mon of New Yotfk, and ranks among the wealthiest. Though a man of little Of no education, it would make one's blood run cold to states to his daring exploits, and the ?teM^.jkjr.qutures. that he has passed through \iwder the streets of eur ssty. Some fifteen years ago, he landed in this couwtry", a perfect strahgof, and with but little money. This ho had the pleasing satisfaction, if euch we may call it, ol being robbed of on his very first night in the city, at a German boarding house iu Greenwich street. His vocation at home was ? that of a. flight-scavenger, aud he was not long in procuring a situation iu the same business iu this city. For five years he followed the same as an employ ee, which enabled him to save considera ble money. During the time, he hud frequently found many valuables and so persistently I were applications made to search for lost property,that he run eerVb? the idea of workiog the sewers of I oiiri?tsnritn |n its search. He hud also tjnrtjsH' n?he accustomed Uracwfers, ns he had frequently been compelled to clean sheas out, and was us much at home in these narrow and filthy passage ways ad tipon the streets. The lending eoiitrac* tors in tho above business found him so valuable aud so daring an explorer that th^y.were continually calling his services i.ito requisition. There is hardly a .-ewer on the inland in which he has nut been} aud ho seemed to take a groat in terest In watching the building of new ?ewers and drains. He knows their Stile, length, every turn and crook, their inlets and outlets, aud claims to have sunny haunts to/law tho ground, ?-hnra, l?y the force of water, valuables that arc lost are Mire to Settle ore they can be carried out into the river. It will be. feniembered it was a few weeks ago that a man wax arrested iu Hobokeu with ?quite a number of valuable articles in n basket, aud it was discovered that lie had got them out of tho sewers of .New York. Now many presumed that this Was a new busines.-, the like never j having been heard of before, yet this is not so. There arc quite a number, most ly Germans, who follow this same busi ness ; but they* arc very careful not to divulge the Same, as it is said they are making an independent fortune. It is a j regularly established business iu France and Germany, and in many places they pay so much for the proceeds of the sewers. It is said that there luve been those who have tried to accustom them selves to the business, but who were un able, in many instances, to endure the unhealthy odor and poisouous gases. The first trip ever taken by our in former along the sewers of the city was on Courtlandt street, in search of a pocket" book that had been lost in the sink of one of the prominent hotels on that street, aud which contain d $1,350 in money, and drafts and notes to the amount of $22,000. The sink bad been searched, but all efforts to recover the lost property were fruitless; \l was evi dent that it had been washed out into the main sewer, and the owner offered the whole amount of tuoucy iu cash, $1,350, should it be rocovcred. Her mann, for as snob he was known among his associates, concluded to work the street sower that night and sue if it was possible to find the same. That night, accompanied by two others, he equipped himself in a full rubber suit, a revolver, a hook, a dark lantern, and a sieve shov el. Descending, at the first opeuiog, which was about a block below the hotel, he set out on his journey on his hands and knees through the dismal passage way. He bad no sooner got well under way, the powerful light from tho dark lantern affording him plenty of light,when he came face to face with ono of the lanr est dock rats that he had evor seen. The power of the light seemed to stsggor the rat for a moment, when Hermann drew his pistol and shot him dead. He then resumed operations, and sifted after mud and filth us he weut along. Tho first thing of note that he found was the body of s still-horn, about three or four months old. On lifting it, it was no much decomposed that it fell apart. A little further, he picked up a silver watch, with u common cord tied to it, aud it hud eviden^^ah-on some tituu iu the sower. Keeping on, soon picked up two silver tablespoons, ope bearing the word "Na tional," and evident ly belonging to th,e ; hotel of the same name, which is located on the same street*} he also picked up part of tin old silrjgjrjnrn. As he liiVtd the piece of urn he1 felt something heavy against it, whieii hunt first iutngitied to be o pioce of board ; but when taking it out, lo and behold ! it win the identical lost pocket-book. All was found safe within; hut wet through and through. Being unable to turn iu the sower, he was forced to back out; aud iu a short time he was at tho opening, aud iu a tew moments found himself safe on terra firma. Returning home, he dried the bills, notes aud papers ; and the follow ing morning handed over the book and contents to their owucr, who fairly jumped with joy at their recovery. When told how it had been recovered, he could hardly believe it. The $1,350 was paid over to Hermann, receiving, bes des an order for a new suit of clothes from the proprietor of the hotel. . The most extended journey ever made by II ermann was through Vcsey street sewer to Broadway, thence to Barclay, aud down Barcluy to tho outlet at the river. On Vcsey street he picked up namorous spoons of every description, especially in the vicinity lof the Aster House, nnd the case of a gold watch. He also found a broken bracelet, a d'.rk ktiife. aud a rair of gold spectacles. On Broadway he found u neat cross btndcd dirk, and on Barclay street picked op over forty dollars iu mouey. Some two years after" the above journey, he made another tour over the same route, and found a lady's purse containing SI07 iu gold, alsoun old pocket-book with eighty four cents in it. Iu the spring of 18C4, he was called upou to recover u heavy gold Wedding riug, that hud been dropped down a ?iuk by a lady, and who seemed almost dis tracted over its loss. Money was no ub* Joct if the ring could be recov.-jred. Tho sink was Cleansed, but no ring could be found. The sewer was accordingly vi.-it ed that night, and alter a diligent search of the passage-way leading from the dwelling to the main hewer the ring was found after nearly two hours' hard work. I lie was made a present of S2O0 for his trouble, besides what was awarded his associates. Hilling the ten years that Hermann followed the above life, he states that, ut times, he fotiud over iJOO still-born in fants iu the various sewers of the city. As a general thing, be would bring them Out at the opening ut the river, and would receive n certain amount from the Coroners for such bodies, while they would he a benefit to the Coroner finan cially for holding an inquest on the same The press seldom took notice of such trifling cases. Iu fact it was very rare that publicity was given to any of thoui. Chambers sttect, he states, was the great est on rc:v*vd for finding still born in fants, lie never visited it but he was sure to come across one or two, and some times as many as five or six. The only reason he accounts for there being so many on the above street was that there was located in that street one of Ihc most noted abortionists ever known iu this country, and in whose houso hundreds and hundreds of females have been operated on, and abortions produced. The .sink was, of course, used to carry ofT and conceal that which would have once been a human being. The woman who then occupied tho building now re sides iu one of the most costly mansions on Fifth Avenue, where she carries on the same business, but only caters for those of wealth, and who can pay her the highest prices for her services. Any pleasant afternoon she cau be seen riding out on Central Park in her carriage, and often accompanied by somo delicate young woman who has been a victim to her hellish practice. One night Hermann dctermind to make a tour from river to river. Ho en tered one of the large sewers on the North River side and came out at the mouth of Maiden Lane sewer ; at one place he came in contact with hot Stoum from a boiler, but it. being Sunday, it did not amount to much, and he passed it with little or no trouble. During the journey he found any quantity of things ?spoons without number, a silver cup, two rings, n liquor flank, a new pocket book, empty, a bundle of lawyer's pa pers, a necklace, and any number of pieces of coin.?New York Sunday Mer cury, Within Your Means. . "Turn la jjWiuui. I" exclaimed a young husband, taking his seat in .the rocking chair aa the supper things were removed. The fire glowing in the grate, revealed a pretty aud neatly furnished sitting room with all the uppliances of comfort. The futiguing busiucsa of the day was over, and ho sat enjoying what he had all day been anticipating, the delights of his own fireside. His pretty wife, Esther, took her work t 1 sat down by the ta ble. ? "It is pleasant to have a home of one's own," he again said, taking a satisfacto ry survey of his little quarters. The cold ruin beat against tho windows, nod he thought he felt really grateful for ull his present comforts. "Now if we only had a piauo," ex claimed the wife. ?'Give mo the music of your own sweet voice before all the pianos in creation," ho observed complimentary j but bo felt a certain secret disappointment that his wife's thankfullness did u-1 happily chime with his own. "Well we want oue for our friends." said Est her. "Let our friends come to see its, and not to hear a piauo," oxclaimed the hus band. "But, George, everybody has a pia.no nowadays?we dou't go. anywhere with OQt seeing a piauo," persisted the wife, j "Aud yet 1 don't know what we want one for?you will havo no time to play mn one, and I don't want to hear it." "Why, they are so fashionable?1 think our room looks nearly naked with out oue." "I think it looks just right." "I think it looks very naked?we want a piauo shockingly," protested Esther emphatically. The husband roekod violently "Your lamp moke's, my dear," said he after a long p iusc. '?Whon ?ru y?*u g"*??tf to ty*' a pmu phcue lamp ? 1 have told yon a doecti times how much wc need one," said : Esther, pettishly. j "These are very pretty lamps?I never : can see by a camphoue lump," said her husbadd. "These lamps are the pret tiest of the kind I ever saw." "But, George, I do not think our room is complete without a campheno lamp," said Esther, sharply. "They are so fashionable! Why, the Morgans aud Millers, and many others I might men tion, all have them: I am sure we ought to." ??We ought uot to take pattern by other people's expenses*, and I dou't see any reason in that." The husband moved uneasily in bis chair. "W e want to live as well as others," said Esther. "Wo want to live within our means, Esther," exclaimed George. "I am sure we oan afford it as weH as : the Morgans, and Millers and Thorns; we do not wish to appear mean." George's cheek crimsoned. "Mean! I am not mean!" ho cried angrily. "Then wo do not wish to appear so," said the wife. "To complete this room, and make it look like other people's, we want a piano and cailiphonu lamps." "Wc Want?we want !" muttered the husband ; "there's no satisfying woman's wants do what you may," and he abrupt, ly left the room. How many husbands are iu a similar dilemma! How many houses and hus bands are rendered uncomfortable by the constant dissatisfaction of a wife with present comforts and present provisions ! How many bright prospects for business havo ended iu bankruptcy and ruin in order to satisfy this secret hankering af ter fashionable uecessuries ! Could the real cause of many failures be known, it would be found to result from useless ex penditures at homo?expenses to answer the demands of fashion and "what will people think ?" "My wife has tundo my fortune," said a gentlemen of great possessions, "by her thrift, and prudeuco, and cheerful ness, whon I was just beginning." "Aud mine has lust my fortune," an swered his companion, "by useless ex extravagunce und repining when I was doing well."

ATOUCUINO INCIDENT OF THE LATK WAK In a secluded spot iu Hollywood, not far. from the banks of the river, is tho grave of a young woman, nt the head of which is a neat marble slab, on which is inscribed the name of the deceased and three verses of the beautiful hymn com mencing with the line "Asleep iu Jesus." It has au interesting history: Oue day during the war a physician was sent for to n house of ill-fame to see oue of its inmates. He found a pretty young wo man siek, with slight disease, but labor ing under that terrible malady consump tion After the doctor had proscribed for /her she manifested a desire to talk, and seemed anxious to disclose to him her history- He gratified her, and she told him she came from-County, iu the interior of the State. She had loved, not wisely, but too well, was betrayed, aud then abandoned by the muu to whom she gave the lust proof of her af fection. Overwhelmed with shame aud remorse, she came to Richmond, and entered one of those houses which very few, once having entered, ever leave but for the I grave. Her health was failing; she ar dently longed to leave the lifo she was following, and appealed, to thu doctor to try to lind her a home elsewhere. She was willing to do the most menial work if she could get a home with respectable people; to go anywhere, or do nuythiug, to be. taken away from the companions and scenes of the l?fe she was leading. The doctor was interested iu her, aud with that true beuevolcnce which charc torizes the profession, exerted himself to comply with her request. He related the circumstances: to n professional bro ther, and the two succeeded iu getting her a home with a roor widow ludy, in the suburbs of the city, upon the condi tion that when she was able she was to assist iu.lue_M.uvk f t he household, and when sho was not, that the doctors wore to pay her board. She went to her now home, grateful and almost happy. She worked wdieu .-he could, but was almost always siek. After having been with the widow lady u month or two, she professed eouversiou. Her health steadily declined, and ouc day when the doctor went to see her, she said to him: "Doctor. 1 know I have not long to live, and do not suppose whou 1 die. any one will think of put : ting a monument over the grave of a I poor castaway like myself; but if there is anything done to mark my grave I should like to have ouevorse, if no more, of the beautiful hymn, 'Asleep in Jesus,' j ?\"c, over the spot in which my body lies, j It is a beautiful hymn, so consoling, and sounds to me so much like peace atd rent." She lingered a lew weeks longer aud died. Her death was peaceful aud triumphant. Her body was laid in a quiet spot in the beautiful cemetery, aud the doctor who had been her true friend in life saw that her last request was complied with. A neat marble slab was erected at her head, and three verses of the hyiuti she loved so well mark the spot where the repentant Mugdalcn lies. \ituutnwny. J'Jiitjttiri r. Ingenious Cuauaiikh.?A novel , plan of drawing room charades is thus described by a participator: The curtain of the back drawing room was drawn aside, and we were rather surprised to see nothing but a wooden rocking-horse on the temporary stage. We were told to guess an island in the Greek Archipelago. After some demur, one ind'p 'dual, brighter than the TCRt, exclaimed "Dolos?deal horse." Right The curtain fell, and after a pause, rose again, displaying to the astonished look ers on the vecy identical, irrepressible rocking-horse, with his head in the Con trary direction. Wo were told to guess another island in the Greek Archipela go. There was a dead silence. Some one vainly suggested "Chios," mispro nounced "shy horse," but that would not do, for the '?deal horse" waj as steady as old time. At length a small boy, late from school, exclaimed "Saums," and it was the same horse." The curtain full amidst roars of laughter. The next scene was a portly gentleman of middle age, who was met by a young girl, who said ' Doctor, I am glad to meet you." A word of five syllables. Give it up "Metaphysician?met a physician." The curtain fell, and was again drawn up? only to exhibit tho same portly gentle man and tho girl meeting again. A ??? rd of three syllables. "Mcttfghor?--va^{ afore" was the Folution.

'?No. indeed ; but I confess a willing ness to get married since I have had the pleasure of seeing you," was the gallant reply. "Indeed ! but you havn'tsecn my face yet!" "No; but I know it is beautiful. The exquisite grace that accompanies every thing you do and say tells me as much." ' Indeed !"

Until I met you to-night woman have looked to me homely and commonplace." "Oh, you arc jesting." "Indeed, I am not." "And you never loved anyone be fore ?" "Never!
