HAVEN'T TIIE CHANGE.
IT WAS house-cleaning time, and I
had an old women at work scrubbing
and cleaning paint.
" Polly is going," said ono of hit do
mestics, as the twilight began to fail.
" Very well ; tell her I shall want her
to-ruorrow."
" I think she would like to have tho
money for to-day's work," said the girl.
l toon out my purso and louud I had
nothing in it but gold.
1 haven t the change this evening."
said I.
" Tell her that I'll pay her
for both
days to-morrow."
I he girl left tho room, and
I thought
no more of Polly for an hour.
lea time
had como and passed, when one of my
domestics, who wastather communicative
in her habits, said to me.
" 1 don t think Polly liked vou for not
payiug her this evening."
" fchc must bo very unreasonable then."
said I, without reflection. " I scut her
word that I had no change. How could
she expect that I could pay."
"fcouio peoplo arc queer vou know.
remarked the girl who made the commu
nication, more for the pleasure of tollinir
than anything else.
1 kept thinking over what the girl had
said until other suggestions cauio into
my mind.
" I wish I had sent and got change."
said I as the idea that Polly might be re
ally in want of money, intruded itself.
" It would have been very little trouble."
This was tho beginning of tho new
train of reflection which did not make me
very happy. To avoid a little trouble, I
had sent the poor woman avay,aftcr a hard
days work, without her money. That
she stood in need of it was evident from
the laet that she had asked for it.
" How very thoughtless in me." said I
as I dwelt longer on the subject.
v hat is tho matter: inquired my
husband, seeing me look serious.
"Nothing to be much troubled about."
I replied.
" let you are troubled."
" I am, and cannot help it. You will.
perhaps, smile at me, but small causes
sometimes produce much pain. Old Pol
ly has been at work all day, scrubbing
and cleaning. When night came, she
asked for her wages, and I hadn't any
ange. 1 didn t reflect that a poor
woman wno uas to go out to daily
must need her money as earned.
,i . ...
labor
I'm
very sorry."
My husband did not reply for
some
time. My words seemed to have
made
considerable impression on his mind.
"Do you know where Polly lives V he
inquired at length.
"No, but I will ask the girl."
And immediately rinsing the bell. I
made inquires as to where Polly lived
but no one in the house knew.
" It can't be helped uow," said my hus
band, in a tone of regret. The poor al
ways have need of their money. Their
daily labor does no more than supply
their daily wauts. I can never forget a
circumstauco that occurred when I was
a boy. My mother was left a widow
when I was but nine years old and as she
was poor it was by the labor oi her hands
that she obtained shelter and food for her
self Und three little ones. Once I re
member the occurrence us if it had tuken
place yesterday we were out of money
ana ioou. At breaklust our last morsel
was eaten, and we went through tho long
day without a taste of bread. We all
grew hungry by night, but our mother
encouraged us to bo patieut a little longer
until she finished tho garment she was
making when she would take that and somo
other work; then, sho said, wo would have
a nice supper. At last the work was fin
ished and 1 went with my mother to car
ry it home for sho was weak . and sickly
ana even a light burden fatigued her.
The lady for whom she had made the
garment was in good circuni stances, and
had no want unsupplicd that money
could supply. When we came into her
presence sho took tho work, and glancing
at it carelessly, said, " it will do very
welL" My mother lingered perceiving
which, tho lady said, rather, rudely,
"you want your money, I suppose. How
much does it como to '!" " Eight shil
lings," replied my mother. Tho lady
took out her purse, and said, I haven't
the change this evening. Cull over at
any time and you shail have it," and
without giving my mother time to urgo
her request, turned from us aud left tho
room. I never shall forget the night
that followed. My mother's feelings
were sensitivo and independent. She
could not mako known her wants. An
hour after our return home sho sat woep-
ing with her children around her, when
a neighbor came in, and learning omr
situation, supplied our present need."
This relation did not mako mo feel
any the more comfortable. Anxiously
I waited tho next morning tho arrival of
Polly. As soon ns she came I sent for
her, and handing her the money she had
earned the day before said, I am sorry I
hadn't the change for you last night, Pol
ly. I hope you didn't want it very badly.
Polly hesitated a little, and then re
plied. " Well, ma'am 1 did want it very
much, or I wouldn't have asked for it.
My poor daughter Hetty is sick, and I
wanted to get her something nice to
eat."
" I am sorry," said I, with sincere re
gret. " How is Hetty this morning?"
" Sho isn't so well, ma'am and I feel
very uneasy about her."
" Come up to me in half and hour,
Polly," said I.
The old woman went down stairs.
When she appeared again, according to
my desire, 1 had a basket for her, in
which were some wine, sugar, fruit, and
various little matters that I thought her
daughter would relish, and told her to go
tit once and take them to the sick girl.
Her expressions of gratitude touched my
feelings deeply. Never since have I
omitted, under any pretence, to pay the
poor their wages as soon as earned.
Curious Mirror.
AMONG the curiosities exhibited at
the last Paris Exposition, was a
huge concave mirror, the instrument of a
startling species of optical magic: On
standing close to the mirror, and looking
into it, it presents nothing but a magnifi
cently monstrous dissection of your" own
physiognomy. On retiring a little, say a
couple of feet, it gives your own face and
figure in true proportion, but reversed,
the head downwards. Most of the spec
tators, ignorant of anything else, observe
these two effects, and pass on. But re
tire still further; standing five or six feet
from the mirror, aud behold you, see
yourself, not a reflection it docs not
strike you as a reflection but your veri
table self, standing in the middle part be
tween you aud the mirror. The effect is
almost appalling from the idea it sug
gests of something supernatural; so start
ling, in fact, that men of the strongest
nerves will shrink involuntarily at tho
first view'. If you raise your cane to
thrust at your other half, you will see it
pass clean through the body and appear
on the other side, the figure thrusting at
you at the same instant. Tho artist who
first succeeded in fashioning a mirror of
this description, brought it to ono of the
French kings if wo recollect aright, it
was Louis XV. placed his JIajcsty on
tho right spot and told him to thrust at
the figure he saw. Tho King did so; but
seeing tho point of a sword directed to
his own breast, threw down tho weapon
and ran away. The practical joke cost
tho inventor tho King's patronage and
favor; his Majesty being afterward so
ashamed of his own cowardice, that he
would never again look at the mirror or
its owuer.

. ftiyA lady in San Francisco was sick
and visited a Chinese doctor, of which
there are plenty there. Dr. Li Po Sai
received his money and then in answer
to the earnest cutrcaty of tho lady that
sho should know what was the matter
with her, replied,
" I think you too much dance, too
much cat (with a strong emphasis), too
much fool around (in u loud voice). If
you dance, you get no better, too much
eating no good, too much fooling round
no good. ljoou-by. And saying this he
walked into an inner room. Whether it
was the medicine or tho advice, tho lady
soon recovered her health, and is of

ubilities of the Chinese.
A Rascal Outwitted.
SOME years ago, a journeyman sad
dler in New York, who. bv his in
dustry and economy, had accumulated n
few hundred dollars in money, resolved to
establish himself in business, in um adja
cent village. After securing a sitation
for a shop, ho returned to tho city, with
about $200 to purchaso his stock. He
put up at tho public house kept by N
W- , aud confiding in the integrity of
tho landlord, put his money into his
hands for safe keeping, till he should call
tor it. lie then traversed tho city in
search of a favorable chanco to purchase
his stock, and after finding ono that suit
ed him, he returned to his quarters, and
called for his money.
" Your money," said the landlord,
" you put no money into my hands."
He had no evidence of tho fact, and
finding all tho efforts to induce his host
to give up the money were fruitless, tho
desponding and indignant saddler repair
ed to the celebrated llobert Emmet for
counsel.
After hearing a statement of the facts,
and taking such measures as satisfied him
that the saddler was a man of the strict
est integrity, he rebuked him for putting
his money iuto sush hands without evi
dence, " but," said he, " if you will do as
I tell you, I will obtain your mouey."
The saddler very readily promised a strict
obedience to his directions.
" Well," said Emmet,- " go back to the
landlord and tell him, when no ono is
present, that you have found your money,
and was mistaken in supposing that you
put it into his hands ; you will then re
turn to me."
The saddler did so, and the landlord ex
pressed great satisfaction at the discovery,
of tho mistake
Mr. Emmet then gave tho saddler two
hundred dollars and told him to go and
deposit it in the hands of the landlord,but
before you enter tho house procure some
gentleman of respectability, to go iu and
call for a glass of beer, and request him
to take his seat and carelessly pass away
the timo iu reading the news, &c., until
you arrive. You will then enter the
room, and in his presence, tell the land
lord that you uow wish him to take the
$200 for safe keping till you call for it."
This done, the saddler again returned
to Mr. Emmet, who directed him to con
tinue his lodging at tho house for two
days,and be regular at his meals; ond then,
when uo one was present, tell the land
lord you will takfr your money. This the
saddler did, and the unsuspecting land
lord, without hesitation, immediately re
funded tho money, which tho saddler re
stored to Mr. Emmet, who directed him
to take good witnesses with him, and go
and demanded the $200, which you de
livered in his hands for safe keeping, in
the presence of tho gentleman who call
ed for tho beer.
The saddler accordingly proceeded to
tho house, in company with another gen
tleman, and demanded his money.
" Your money ?" said the astonished
landlord. " I have just handed it to
you."
" No, sir," replied the saddler, " I have
not received my money, and it you re
fuse to deliver it to mo, I shall take meas
ures to obtain it."
I ho landlord dared him to "do his
best," and Mr. Emmet immediately ia
stituted a suit against him iu favor of the
saddler. The landlord, finding himself
outwitted, paid over tho money, with
about $20 cost. . , . .

A Relfcr

LD JOE WATTLES was a survivor
tho devolution. At least. Joe
always said so, and no one ever thought
of disputing what Joe said. Tho stories
ho used to tell of his own exploits were
truly wonderful, and it seem strange to
me nt this distance of time that he never
got into Congress, or the biographical dic
tionary, or had himself canonized, all of
which, I suppose, mean about tho same
thing. Joe had an old gun which he
considered a sacred relic. It went thro'
the llevolution with liim, was in all his
battles, was at his shoulder by day and
by his side at night, till Joe and the old
guu had become one and inseparable, iu
war and peace, and bid fair so to contin
ue through the remainder of Joo's mor
tal life. Whenever there was a mustor.
town meeting, a cattle-show, a political
convention, or an indiunation meetins.
Joe was sure to be there, and the old gun
was on cxniDition. lie could always raise
a crowd, who would listen to his yai.i,
with eyes and ears and mouth wide open
to catch the last syllable of Joe's wisdom.
indeed, 1 have the impression that some
corner of every training-field or other
public ground was always set apart bv
the authorities for Joo nnd his crowd.
On one occasion Joe waxed eloquent.
He was tho hero of a thousand fk'hts.
The old Don's chargo on the windmill
was nothing iu comparison, and tho old
guu went up in the market one hundred
per cent. lut everything earthly has an
end. When he made afullstop from mere
exhaustion, Sam Pickles, a wicked-looking
chap, who had elbowed to the front
of the crowd, desired to make a few re
marks. Sam said he had heard a good
deal about that old gun, and ho had no
doubt it had been in perils by day and by
nignt, Dy land and by sea. It was an
ugly looking piece, and evidently meant
mischief. But it gcemcd to Sam that
tho stock did not look quite old
enough to havo seen much of the rev
olution. " Well, well," says Joe, " tho fact is.
the old stock got badly worn, and we had
new one made.
But Sam thought that, somehow, it
rather appeared to him that the barrel
seemed rather uew for so old a gun.
" Never mind," said Joe, a little riled .
" we've had a new barrel, tho old one
got so bad off."
But Sam thought that the lock
" O, never you mind about the lock."
said Joe; " that's new, too, but you need
not make so much fuss about so small a
matter. The fact is, there's nothing left
of the real old nun exccDt the touch-
hole !"
k Tennessee Courtship.
ON the 12th ult., in Sevier county by
Win. Pickens, Esq., Bill llogers to
Nancy E. Bailey. " This," says a Corre
spondent, " was one of the most extraor
dinary exhibitions of fortitudo and de
termination, on the part of the two per
sons interested, ever exhibited in -East
leuuessco. Mrs. Baily was a widow of
two months' mourning. Sho was fair
beyond the usual fairness of her associ
ates. Bill liogers was himself, a comely,
rough country youth of about 19 years
of age. A week beforo tho marriage the
widow Nancy visited tho residenco of
Bill's maternal parent and luckily fouud
her in tho field and Dill in the house.
Nancy is to all intents a practical busi
ness woman, and went to work atouce.
Drawing up a stool to Bill's feet says she,
" Bill Rogers', ' how'd you Ike to mar
ry ?" says Bill, in reply, " Fust rate."
Says Nancy, straightening herself and
throwing out her magnificent chest.
" Bill llogers; how do you liko this V
Says Bill, " bully." fays Nancy, " Bill,
get out ti license and its yours." Says Bill.
I'll havo 'em or die." He was off in a
moineut fur Sevicrvillo for tho license.
But alas ! Bill haden't the necessary
sum when ho reached the clerk's office
to procure a license. So he tramped home
again, entered his house beforo his family
and without saying a word took from the
shelf tho rifle gun, and placing it on his
shoulder, again loft. No one seemed to
know auy further particulars. It is
knowu that Bill got the license, but
brought no gun back with him. At
12 o'clock at night, Enquire Pickcus was
called for most imploringly, to perform
the marriogo ceremonies, and he did it iu
the most imposing form beforo the bril
liant pineknot fiio that blazed cn the
hearth, uud iu tho preseuce of tho select
audience who had assembled. After tho
vows had been made, uud tho record ten
dered that they were mau and wife,
Bill's first ejaculation was " Naucy we've
had a hard time, but I told you I'd bring
them. Let's go home." cud they went.
