- T}ie Diggnised Heiress. Ml . 1 _ ?ftUs Vornon sat thoughtfully at her "window plunged in doep thought. This siced Dot be wondered at, for the question ''upon which she wos pondering affected Iser deeply. She was an heiress, having coipe into possession, at her majority, of fifty thou aand dollars. Sho was prepossessing in her appearance, and this, as was natural . added to the report of hor wealth, which, as usual was considerably exaggerated, brought her suitors in plenty. Among them she made choice of William Winsor, and in a few weeks thoy were to bo mar ried. William was engaged in the wholesale clothing business, aud had the reputation - of being n sharp and active man of business, j He was of good appcarnuco, and as fur us Could be judged, was a good innteh even for the heiress. Nothing to his preju . dice had come to her cars until the day before. A poor woman hud come to the door in evident poverty, and asked for relief. On being questioned, she said she had been employed making shirts at twelve ccuts apiece for wholosalo deal ers?that after making a dozen and car rying them to the store, she had been roughly told that they were spoiled and that nothing would be paid her for her Work; but she might have somo more it che would agree to make them better. She added that this was one of the ways in which the firm made money out of poor work women, by pretending that the work Wits unsatisfactorily done when really no fault could be reasonably found with it. I The sum, small as it was, of which sho had beeu dofrauded, was nil important to d licr as it represented nenrly a week's work. "Only a dollar and forty-four cents for ? week's work," exclaimed Miss Vemon in dismay. ??How then, do you live7" "It can hardly be called living. It's Just barely keeping body and taul to gether." said the poor old woman. "And who is this extortioner that first offers you starvation wages, und then de frauds you even of them?" ntked Miss Vernon indignantly. "William Wiusor." "Who?" demanded Miss Vernon. quickly. "William Winsor." ?4I cnu hardly believe this. I know the gentle in a u." ?'It is true, and you will find it to be *>." "I will investigate the matter. Here is five dollars for your present needs. Come here to-morrow at this time and I may have somo work for you to do." The poor woman departed invoking blessings upon the heiress. "I will look into this," said Margaret Vernon resolutely, "and if it proves true the engagement between William Winsor and myself shall be broken. 1 will not |{ive myself to such a man." ??Nancy," said Miss Vernon the next morning to the chambermaid, "have 3*ou an old dress and shubby cloak and bou not you can leud me ?" "I have got some that are so pool1 that t am not going to wear them ng.nin," said Nancy, surprised nt smdi an inqui ry. "Will you lend them to me ?" "Of course, Miss ; but what would the tikes of you wnut of such old clothes ?" "A little fun, that, is all," said Miss Vornon. "I nm going to disguise my self, and see if 1 can't deceive some body." With this explanation Nancy was eon tent and produced the clothes. Miss Vernon put them on, aud iu uddition borrowed from another of the ser vants, a thick green veil, sontowhut the Worse for wear, and then set out on her mission. No one in her disguise would havo recognised the usually elegantly dressed heiress, Mi?B Margaret Vernon. Miss Vernon slipped out of the bnsc mcnt door and took her way to a largo store, on which wns inscribed the name William Winson in large gilt letters. She entered und after awhile a clerk spoke to her iu a rough voice: ??Well, what do you want V* '?I want to get some work," she said in a low voice. "We can give you some shirts." "Anything." ?'Can you sew woll V "I think so." A wait dozen ihirte were given to Miss Vernon, and she was informed that if sutisfuctorily done, she would fee .paid twelve cents apiece. These she carried home slipping in at the back door. Two hours later tho poor woman called. "Hero are some shirts for you to make," said Miss Vernon. ?'Why ; thoy arc the same as I havo been making," said the woman in sur prise. , "Tlmt is true, and tboy came from the same place." "Am I to bring them back tboro ?" "No, you will bring them hero. I will pay for tho work when done, double the j-.rico you have been receiving." "Thank you, Miss; you are very kind." "Sew them as neatly as you possibly can. I wish to sec whether thoy wdl be rejected as poor work." "Yes, Mips Vernon, I will take pains with them." Three days later the poor woman re turned with the work completed. Miss Vernon paid her for them, and requested her to call ngtiin tho next day. "Nancy," said the heiress, after her protege had departed, "I shall wish to borrow your old clothes again." "Certainly, Miss," said Nanny, "if it is not nshauicd yuu are to appear in such rags." "No one will know mc, Nancy." "Sure, Miss, you can take them when ever you like." "I don't think I shall need tbem agnin. Nancy, but I thank you all the same." Not long afterwards Miss Vernon, in her shabby disguise, entered the estab lishment of William Wiusor, with tho bundle of shirts uudcr her arm. She went to the couuterand laid them down. "What have you got there," demand ed a pert young clerk "Some work, sir, said Miss Vernon, humbly. , ?\V\-11, Ovu'i j >ju uj;m lim Imiu die !" said tho young man, picking his teeth with bis knife. Miss Vernon did so. The yonng man dcigued to tumble over the shirts, glancing at them care lessly. "Shocking ! shocking !" be said. "What's the matter, sir V "They're wretchedly sewed, that's what's the matter. How do you ex pect we are going to sell such shirts as these "\ am sure T thought they were well done," said Miss Vernon. "You thought, did }*ou ?" repented the elerk. mocking her. "Well, I think dif j ferently, and that's all about it. We shan't pay you for these shirts. They will have to be sold at a loss. "But what shall I do?" asked Miss Vernon, in seeming distress. "That's your business, not mine. We will try you once more, and give you another half dozen shirts. If they are done better, you will be paid for tbem." "These are done well," snatching the bundle from the counter, "and I will show tbem to your employer." To the indignation of the elerk, who was not used to such independence in the poor women who worked for the es tablishment, Miss Vernon took the shirts to another part of tho counter where she saw William Winsor himself. "Mr. Wiusor," she said, "your clerk will not pay me for these shirts. He says they ard not well dono." Mr. Wiusor took up'one and pretend ed to examine it. "No, it is poorly done. Wc can't pty you for these, but you may have another bundfo, Und, if they are satisfactory, you will then be paid." "Didn't I tell you so ?" said the elerk triumphantly. "Now, young Woman, bow much did you make by that opera tion V* "More than you think perhaps," said Miss Vernon, quietly. "Do you want any work ?" "No, don't, wish any," she said. "Oh ! you arc on your high horse arc you ? Well you may b? glad to gr*t work some day when you can't have it." That evening was the one which Wil liam Winsor usually spent with his bc trothod. Wheu he was introduced, ho went forward, warmly as usual, to greet Miss Vernon. She drew back coldly, and did not of fer her hand to grasp his. "What is the matter, Margaret I" ho asked, surprised and startled. "What havo I done to entitle me to such a re ception f" - "My hand has taken yours for the last lime, Mr. Wiusor," said Margaret "Good I leavens ! What is the mean ing of all this ? Margaret, explain your self, I cannot understand it." "I cannot take the hand of one who grows rich by defrauding poor women out of their scanty earnings." "Who says this of mo ? Some ono has been slandering mo. Confront mo with my accuser. There is some mistake hero." "1 will do as you desire. Wait five minutes." Miss Vernon left the room, and soon entered in her disguise. The young mau strodo up to her an gr'y "Are you tho ono that has slandered nie to Miss Vernon ?" he demanded. "I told her the truth !" The young man reflected. Violent contradiction ho saw would not avail him ; ho would try another course. "Hark, you, young woman," ho said, in a low voice, "there is a mistake. 1 will make it up to you richly. 1 will give you ten dollars on the spot, and all tho work you want at doublo rates if you will tell Miss Vernon it was all a mis take. Too late, Mr. Wiusor, said the veiled figure, throwing up her veil and showing the contemptuous face of Margaret Ver non. Your bribe is offered in vain. Good oveuiug, sir. Confused and astonished, William Wiusor found his way to the door and has uovcr ventured to enter the house of the heiress *inco. Ho was paid for his meanness in his own coin.

Sillium Thoughts* BY JOSH BILLINGS. The fear of God iz tho pilosophy of re ligion ; the lovoof God iz the charity ov religion. Hope iz a hen that lays more eggs than she kan hatch out. Bettor leave your child virtcw than money ; but this iz a sckret known only tew a few. I honostly belcavc it iz better tow know nothiug than'tew know what aiu't so. About the hardest work a phellow kan do iz tew spark two gals at once, and preserve a good average. Prudery is one of virtew'a bastards. A nick name will outlive ouny man or thing ; it iz like the crook in a dngg's taile?you may cut it off and throw it behind the barn, but the crook iz there yet,, aud the stump iz the epitaph. If you nnalize what most men cull plczure, you will fiud it composed ov one part humbug and two parts pain. When you hain't got nothing to do, do it at once ; this iz the way to bo biz zy. We have been told that the best way tow ovcrkum misfortunes iz tew fight with tbem. I hav tried both ways, aud recommend a succcsstul dodge. The art of becoming ov importance in the eyes ov others iz not to over-rate our sell', but tew cause them tew do it. The true way to understand the judg ments of Heaven is to submit to them. Method iz everything, espcshily tew ordinary men ; the lew who kan litt a tun at plez/.uro hav a divine right tew take holt ov it tew a disadvantage. Tho mind ov man iz like a piece ov land, that, tew be useful, must be ma nured with learning, pluughedjwith ener gy, sown with virtcw, nud harvested with oLi>u/Mnv ? A , ^ -WIYeTe religion iz^trady*. n^J^jL[ a roorchuudizo. C'onvcrsashun should be ?.nliveuod with wit, not composed ov it. . The less a man knows the more he will guess at ; and guessing iz nothing more thnn suspicion. doing tew law iz like skinning a now milch cow for the hide, and giving the meat tew the lawyers. Heath tew most ov us, iz a kind ov "farewell benefit"?"positively our last appearance." Phools arc quitQ often like hornets? very bizzy, but what about the Lord on ly knows. Living on hope iz like living on wind; a good way tew git phull, but u poor way tew git phatt. Jealousy don't pay?the best it kan do iz tew discover what we don't want tew lind, nor what we don't expect to. Sekrets are a mortgage on friendship. I don't think a bad man iz az danger ous az a weak one. I don't think a bile that haz cum tew a bed iz az risky az a bidden one. that may cum tew a d >zen beds. A vivid imnginashun iz like sun glasses?make things at a distance look twice az big az they am, and cluss tew, twice az small az they am. Hope iz a draft on futurity, sometimes honored, but generally extended. If the world despises a hypokrit. what must they think ov him in Heaven't Flattery iz like Kolono water?tew be smcltt ov. not swallowed. After all, there don't seem tew be but this difference between thewize men and phools?the wizo men are all fuss and sum feathers, whilo the phools nre nil fuss and no feathers. Without friends and without cnomys iz the last reliable nckount we hav ov a stray dog. Men generally, when they whip a mule, swarc ; tho mule remembers the swaring, but forgits the licking. Sum folks woiiil -r whnrc awl the lies cum from, but 1 don't; ono good liar will pisin a whole country. Hunting after fame is like hunting after fleas, hard tew ketch, and suro tew make you uneazy if yu do or don't ketch them. Menny people spend their time tricing tew lind the hole whnrc sin got into this world. If two men break through the ice into a mill-pond, they had hotter hunt for sum hole tow git out, rather than git into a long argument about the hole they cum tew fall in. Imagiuashuu, tew much indulged in, soon is tortured into reality ; this is ono wny that good hoes thief's are made?a jnau leans o\ zr a Jeuce ail day ??d imag ines the boss iu th-i lot belongs tew him, and sure enuff, tho fust dark nite, the hoss dues. * If you must chaw terbackcr, young man, for Heaven's sake, ehaw old plugg; it iz the nnstyost. A Crabb-ed Affair. Many years ngo, a man named Crabb petitioned tho Legislature of Massachu setts to change his name, aa his lady-love bad refused to marry him while he went by so uulovcly a cognomen. Ho was unsuccessful, and the parting interview between him and tho idol of his affec tions was as follows : Mr. Isaac Crabb, dejected and des pairing, proceeds to the home of his dul cinen, aud knocks at the door with a trembling hand : and, while ho is wait ing for it to be opened, he fancies he hears her say, "If you are Mr. Crabb. stay out." Presently ho is admitted. His loved one, with a doubtful expression of coun tenance, says : "Am I to address yo? us Mr. Harri son or Mr.-, oh ! oh ! I cannot speak the odious name?or Mr.-" "Crabb, madamc,?my name is still Crabb but will you, my love, still per severe in denying it, will you-" "Don't sidle up to me.

"No, i'ii have uo such critters poking | bout me." "But why should a mere name sepa rate two persons whose hearts arc uni ted" "Any other-Bamo I could abide, but to think'of sleeping with a Cr-" " We shall both bo Crabbs together."

Proof of Rationality.?A man re siding in a New England town, at some distance from a near relative, received a message one cold evening in December, to hasten to his residence, as he was in n dying state. When he arrived, he was told that his relative was a little better, but thnt his reason had entirely left him. The sick man presently turned his head, saying in n faint voice : "Who is that?" He wns informed that it was his rela tive. "Oh, ah," said ho, "yes, yes. Ho must be cold. Make him a good wurm toddy ?yes a toddy." "I guess ho ain't crazy," said the visi tor to tho friends standing round ; "he talks very rntionnl." -?^??^7. ?-?-^??? ?
