GIRL IN BOY'S CLOTHES. A Lassie From North Carolina Masquerad lug as a Lad-She Fooled the Boys at First. W hat to all outside appearaice was a boy on Monday afternooi strolled the streets of Newberry a a stranger in a strange land, chew ing tobacco and expectorating without a license, as fully and fre ly as any masculine hobo who couh raise a quid ; fairly good looking a a boy but not so comely as a girl The young t ra veler was not dresse( hn the height o faslion ; but il this instance tlie "clothes (iid no make the man, "or boy either. Th< "youth" applied for a night's lodg ing al(d was provided will a cel at the station house by our gallan1 andot accomodating policemetI. A yet no one sSpeCted thatt lhe littI North Carolinia was ot her thI:uI represenlted to be. She looked : boy, and style and maners bort out the deceptioil to perfection. .a. though her feet and Inds did look rather sInall for a boy. 14)l( in this case. as is often tle case, appearances proved to be deceitful in the end. Strange to say, though, everybody who came in contact, seemed to have a tender feeling for the poor orphan, as if they had a premonition that they were enter taining an angel unawares, and they were gentle in their treatment. "le" was not such a rough looking customer, even considering the somewhat seedy clothes and hat, but "she" did not turn out tc be an angel, because she had toc much of a boy's ways about her, But we niust not be too severe. It may be, and perhaps is, true that a few years ago "she was some hody's love" and that 'somebody'; keart enshrined her there ; some. body wafted her name above, night And morn on the wings of prayer.' 1t was while seated ill the offic of Chief Bishop, ,urrounde(l by officials and other citizens, they talking of every thing in genera and nothing in particular, that she weakened and"gave herself away.' At least she told this reporter at that juncture she felt that her sex wa about to be diycovered and identit disclose( and that it would probab ly be to her .kdvant age to let dhc di bc .m kn . Th< she (e!.ted Eer -' .rv.
