Miss Vernon sat thoughtfully at her window plunged in deep thought. This need be scarcely wondered at, for the ytestion upon which she was pondering affected her nearly. She was all heiress, having conic into possession z at her majority, of fifty thousand dollars. ll , he was pre-possessing in her appearance, and this, as was natural, as usual, was considerably exaggerated, brought her suitors in plenty. Among them she made choice of William Winsor. and in a few weeks they were to be married. William was engaged in the wholesale clothing business, and had..the reputation of an active, sharp man of business. lie was of good appearance, and so far as could be judged, was a good match for the heiress. Nothing to his prejudice bad come to the ears of Miss Vernon, until the day before. A poor woman had come to the door in evident poverty, and asked for relief. On being questioned, she said that she had been employed in making shirts at twelve cents a piece for wholesale dealers; that after making a dozen and carrying them to the store, she had been roughly told that they were spoiled, and that nothing would be paid her for the work; but that she might have some more, if she would agree to make them better. She added that this was one of the small ways in which the firm made money out of poor women by pretending that their work was unsatisfactorily done, when really no fault could reasonably be found. The sum, small as it was, of which she had been defrauded, was all important to her, as it represented nearly a week's work. ;1::' r•• • :' ••.; 6 Y 1 • 0 e. r HI T tO 0 pi, 44 g 0 ;••• 0 .W 04 4 • 4; Ec; i;', 0 n W w c ? • O e : 4 ; FL "a a. g •-• t 8 o fl-A). coz— g,tst°,l coo --C7 ^noP Cho.ci p S 1 1.

"It can hardly be called living. It's, just barely keeping body and soul together,' said the poor woman. "And who is this extortioner that first oilers you starvation waqes, then defrauds you of them?" asked Miss Vernon, very indignantly. " Villiam Winsor:" " Who?" demanded Miss Vernon, firm ly, quickly. 4.. - '- b, o 4' - `• William Winsor.' , " I can hardly believe this. I know the gentleman." " It is true, and if you will investigate the matter you will find it to be so." "I will investigate the matter. Here is five dollars for your present needs. Come here to-morrow at this time, and I may have sonic 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 myselfshall be broken. I will not give myself to such a man." "Nancy," said Miss Vernon, the next morning to the chambermaid, " have you an old dress and shabby cloak and bonnet, that you can lend me?" " I hay e Sot some that are so poor that I am not going to wear them again," said Nancy, surprised at such an inquiry. " Will you lend them to me?" "Of course, Miss; but what would the likes of you want with such old clothes?" " A little fun, that is all," said Miss Vernon. "I am going to disguise myself, and see if I can't 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 veil, somewhat the worse for wear, and then set out on her mission. No one, in her disguise,would have recog nized the usually elegant and richly dressed heiress, Miss Margaret Vernon. Miss Vernon slipped out of the base ment door, and took her way to a large store, on which was inscribed the name id Winsor, in large gilt letters. She entered, and after a while a clerk spoke to her in a rough voice: " Well, what do you want?" " I wan't to get some work," she said, in a low voice. ill LANCASTER, PA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1869.

A half dozen shirts were given to Miss Vernon, and she was informed that if satisfactorily done, she would be paid twelve cents a piece. These she carried home, slipping in at the back door. About two hours later the poor woman called. " Here are some shirts tin• you to make," said Miss Vernon. “Why, they are the same as 1 have been making,” said the poor woman in great surprise. " That is true, and they came from the same place." "Am I to take them back there?" "No, you will bring them here. I will pay for the work, when done, double the price you have been receiving." " Thank you, Miss, you are very kind." "Sew them as neatly as possible. I wish to see whether they will be rejected as poor work. o, " Yes, Miss 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 the next day. "Nancy," said the heiress, after her protege had departed, " I shall wish to borrow your old clothes again." "Certainly, Miss," said Nancy, " it; it is not ashamed you are to appear in such miserable rags." "No one will know me, Nancy." "Shure, Miss, you can take them when ever you like." I don't think I shall need them again, Nancy, but thank you all the same." Not long afterwards Miss Vernon, in her shabby disguise, entered the establish ment of William Winsor, with the bundle of shirts under her arm. She walked up to the counter and laid them down. “ What have you got there?” demand ed a pert young clerk. "Some work, sir," said Miss Vernon, very humbly. " Well why don't you open the bun dle?" said the young man, picking his teeth with his knife. Miss Vernon did so. The young man deigned to fumble over the shirts, and sneeringly glancing at them carelessly. "Shocking! shocking!" he saki. "What's the matter, sir!" "They're wretchedy sewed. That's what's the matter. flow do you expect we are going to sell such shirts as these?" I any sure T thought they wen well done," said Miss Vernon. You thought, did you?" repeated the clerk mocking her. "Well, I think dif 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 them." " These are done well," said Miss Vern on, savagely, snatching the bundle from the counter, "and I will show them to your employer." To the indignation of the clerk, who was not used to such independence in the poor women who worked for the establishment, Miss Vernon took the shirts to another part of the counter where she saw William Winsor himself. "Mr. Winsor," she said, "your clerk will not pay me for these shirts. He says they are not well done." Mr. Winsor took one up, and pretended to examine it. "No, it is poorly done. We ()ain't pay you for these s but you limy have another bundle, and, if they are satisfactory, you will then be paid." "Didn't I tell you so, said the clerk tri umphantly. "Now, young woman, how much did you make by that operation?" " More than you think, perhaps," said Miss Vernon, quietly. "Do you want any more work?" " No, I don't wish any more," she an swered, coldly. "Oh! you are on your high horse, are you? Well, you may be glad to get work, some day, when you can't have it." That evening was the one which Wil liam Winsor usually spent with his be trothed. When he was introduced, he went forward warmly, as usual, to greet Miss Vernon. She drew back coldly, and did not offer her hand to grasp his. - " What is the matter, Margaret?" he asked, surprised and startled. " What, have I done to entitle me to such a recep tion?" " My hand has taken yours for the last time, Mr. Winsor," said Margaret. "Good heavens! what is the meaning of all this? Margaret, explain yourself; 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 me? Some one has been slandering me. Confront me with my, accuser. There is some mistake here." " I will do as you desire. Wait just live minutes." Miss Vernon left the room, and soon re-entered iu her disguise. The young man strode up to the woman angrily. " Are you the one who has slandered me to Miss Vernon?" he demanded. "I told her the truth." The young man reflected. Violent con tradiction he saw would not avail him; he would try another course. " Hark ye,young woman," he said in a low voice. "There was a mistake. I will make it up to you richly. I will give you tendollars on the spot, and all the wk. rkyou want at double rates, if you will tell Miss Vernon it was all a mistake.'' care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and a lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."—d.
