TUB DISGUISED HEIRESS, Miss Vernon sat thoughtfully at her window plunged in deep thought. This need scarcely he wondered at, for the question upon which she was p'mdeilug artected her deeply. . Bhb was an heiress having come into possesion, at her majority, of fifty thou sand dollars. She was prepossessing .in her apperru.nce, and this, as it was natu ral, added to the report of her wealth, as usual, was considerably exaggerated, brought her suiters in plenty.' Among them she made ciioiceof William Win sor, and in a few weeks they were to be married.'. , WilUum-was engaged in theholesalo clothing'business, ami hud the reputa tion of a sbaip,.active man of business. He wasof good appearance, and, ho far as could be judged, was a.match even lor the heiress. Nothing to his prejudice had come -o V e ears of Miss Vernon, until the day before. A poor man had come to the door in evident poverty, and asked for. relief. * On being questioned,, she said she had- been employed in making shirts at twelve cents apiece for whole sale dealers—that alter making adt zen alid curried them to ti-e store,«he had been roughly told that they wore spoiled, and. uolliing would be paid her for her work?.but she might have some more if she would agree to make them better.— fcjbe added that this was one of the small ways in which the.firm made money out of poor work women, by pretending that the ‘work was unsaUHfuctoriaUy done, when really no fault could be found with it. The sum, small as it was, of >vhicb she hud been defrauded', wasall important to her, as it represented nearly a week’s work. ! i * Only a dollar and forty-four cents for a week's work I’ exclaimed Miss Vernon "lirUinifncyr- x . 1 Thai’s all/ said the poor woman. , ‘ How, then, do you live*? 1 • ‘lt can’t. i.ardly be called living; It is just barely keepingbody and soul to gether/ replied the poor woman* 4 And who is the extortioner, that first offers you starving wages, and then de frauds you of them?’,asked Miss Vernon iudlunantly, ‘William Winsor*’ ‘Who?’ demanded Miss Vernon, quickly. ‘ William Winsor/ ' *T nun imrdiy nelieye this, I know the gentleman. * It is true and ff you will investigate the matter, you wiU find it to be so/ ‘ I will Investigate the matter; Here is five dollars for your present needs, and i may have some work for you to The poor woman departed, invoking blessings upon the heiress. ‘ 1 will look into this,’ said Margaret .Vernon, resolutely, 4 and if it proves, true, the engagement between Vv Winsor and miself shall be broken. 1 . will not give myself to such a man. ■ * Hailey,’’ said Miss Vernon the next morning to the chaimbermahl, ‘ have you an 010 dress and shabby cloak and bonnet that you can lend me ?* .‘•I have some that ore so poor that I tin nor going to wear them again/ said. Nancy, surprised at such an inquiry. ‘ Will >ou lend them to me?’ * Qf course, Miss but what would the likes of you want of such old clothes?’ ‘ A little fun, that is all,’ said Miss V» rndn. ‘I am goingtodlsguise myself, and sne if I can’l.deceive somebody.’ With this explanation Nancy was con tent and produced the , clothes. Miss Vernon put them on, and In addition borrowed' of another .of the servants, a thick green vaii, somewhat the worse lor wear, and then set out on her mis sion. No one in . her disguise would ; bate -recognized the usually elegantly ; dressed heiress, Miss Margaret Vernon'. Miss Vernon slipped out of the base ment door and took hen. way to’ u large -tore, on which was Inscribed the name! of William Winsor, in large gilt ietlers-J She entered, amt after a while a clerl spoke, to her in a rough voice: 4 Well what do you want ?’ ‘ I want to get some work,’ she said n a low. voice. • ' , ‘ Wecan give you some shirts.’ - ‘Anything.’ * fan you sew well ?’ ✓ ‘ I think so.’ , « a * At any.rate, we will try you.’ A half dozen shirts were given to Mis Vernon, and she was informed, if sain lactorialiy done, 'she would be pa r twelve cents apiece.' These she came home, slipping in at the Back door. Two hours later the poor woman cab (jd 1 * * Here ara someshirta forybu tomdke, sail) Miss Vernon. , . ■ .. ‘.Why they are the same aa I have peel making 1 ’ said the woman In .surprise. ‘ This la true, amt they came from th same place.’ .•»’ , ' ' • ‘ Am I to bring them back there? , 1 No— You will bring them nere.'

How de lightful is it, In our oitfer days of honor and successful maturity, to look back on the sunny hours of Infancy; to recall a mothers gaze of unutterable fondness ; a father’s caress of; tenderness and love; to dwell by memory’s aid on their mu tual joy at our progress |.n strength aud knowledge;—the result of their united instructions and entreaties—on the. holy precepts that from their lips were caught, aud the eternal truths they Impressed uponourremembrance; and to feel that, whatever we may possess of life’s best gifts, we-mainly owe. next to the Giver -tif.flli. • Shall We Grow Ode Tea and Su gar.—Teacups we long ago achieved in American manufacturers; the ques tion now is, shall we not grow on our soli the ingredients of oar cups o itea?
