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.

"Only a dollar and forty-four cents for
a week's work!" exclaimed Miss Vernon
in dismay.
" That's all," said the poor woman.
" How, then, do you live?"
"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.

`• 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.

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.''

Democratic Legislature of Ohio, by soft
words, to

them.

Tim. Lancaster Express very truthfully
remarks that "the Democratic party was
the firmest, and at last the only friend
and ally of Slavery in its life, and 4s now
the sole mourner over its remains."
AN application for a writ of habeas cor
pus has been made to the Supreme Court
of the United States, for the release of the

Herrnhut, Saxony.
THE Legislature, we are sorry to see, is
getting into the habit of years ago, of ex
empting from taxation a large portion of
the property of the Commonwealth. We
cannot but condemn this policy, and re
gard it as violating both the letter and
spirit of the Constitution.
As was predicted, when the bogus con

received Executive endorsement.

scattered over a territory of eighty miles

SPAIN has declared that heneeforlh nn
slave shall l held on Spanish soil. Thus
surely passes away the barbarism of our

THE friends of Hon. Caleb N. Taylor,
Republican Representative in Congress
from the Vtli district, are confident that
he will be able to unseat Dr. Reading
(Democrat,) who holds the certificate for

of Philadelphia, will show that Mr. Taylor
was duly re-elected in October.
WHEN the colored citizens are invested
with the ballot they will be no longer the
objects of execration and ridicule from
democratic politicians. Tim " woolly
heads" and the "crooked shinbones" will
become lovely in the eyes of the Democ
racy, when Manhood Suffrage shall pre
vail throughout the land. •
AT last a use is found for portions of
Alaska. It is a good place to establish
"district courts, with the usual judicial
and ministerial officers." This only
applies to the southern portion of Alaska,
where the oranges, figs and bananas grow,

desirous of going. They think there Is
just-ice enough there already.

tinguished colored lawyer, will be an ap
plicant for the Ministership to Hayti,

political prospects by accepting an office
under the present administration.
