Wickedness and erime, although they are not properly trades, are nevertheless occupations, and are learned by degrees. The lirst degree is idleness and bad company. These two lead many a boy and man to perdition, whose starting out was only for fuu but whose end was dreadful reidity. "The boy who lurks and lounges about with a gang, annoying families, or who indulges the wicked habit of iusidting persons who pass bv- his lounging place, or in assaulting peo - ple who give no offense, or who thinks it the proper sort of thing to take a drink, when he is out for a ' 'spree" at night, or on Sunday is in constant of danger just the kind of rows and broils that end in blood shed and murder. At one end of his career is this habitual lounging, loafing, disorder, dissipation or ruffainism ; at the other, if he keeps on in the same path, is the prison or the gallows. PRETTY GIRLS:— An eastern paper w rites thus plainly about pretty girls: "It may bo set down as a general rulo that the pretty girls are thoso who dress the plainest; pretty girls do not require the extra adornments of dress.

" I " To Speak his Thoughts is Every Freeman's Right. " THE DISGUISED HEIRESS. Miss Vernon sat thoughtfully at her win dow plunged deep in thought. This need lie scarcely wondered at, for the question upon which she was pondering affected her nearly. She was an heiress, having come into possession, at her majority, of fifty thous and dollars. She was prepossessing in her appearance, and this, as was natural, added to the report of her wealth, which, as usu al, was considerably exaggerated, brought her suitors in plenty. Among them she made a choice of William Winsor, and in a few weeks they were to lie married. William was engaged in the wholesale clothing business, and had the reputation of a sharp, active man of business. He was of good appearance, and so far as could be judged, was a good match even for tho heiress. Nothing to his prejudice had come to the ears of Miss Vernon, un til 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 making shirts at twelve cents apiece 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 no thing would be paid her for her work ; but that seo 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 the work was unsatisfactorily done, when really no fault could bo reasonably found with it. 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 cents for a week's work !" exclaimed Miss \ ornon in dismay. "That's all," said the poor woman. "How, then, do you live ?" "It can liurdly be called living. It's just barely keeping body and soul togeth er," said the poor woman. "And who is this extortioner that first offers you starvation wages, and then de frauds you even of them ?" asked Miss Vernon, indignantly. "William Winsor." "I can hardly believe this. I know that gentleman." "It is true, and if you will investigate tho 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 some work for you to do." The poor woman departed, invoking blessings upon the heiress. "I will look into this," said Margret \ er- ( non, resolutely, and if it proves true the engagement between V illiam W iusor and myself shall 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 have got 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 of such clothes ?" "A little fun that is all," said Miss Ver non. -"I am going to disguise myself, and see if I can't deceive somebody." With this explanation Nancy was con tent, and produced tho clothes. Miss Ver non put them on, and in addition borrow ed 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 recognized the us ually elegantly dressed heiress, Miss Mar garet Vernon. Miss Vernon slipped out of tho basement door and took her way to a large store, on which was inscribed the name of William Winsor in large gilt letters. Sho entered and after a whilo a clerk spoke to her in a rough voice : "Well what do you want ?" "I want to get some work," sho said in a low voice. "We can give you some shirts." "Anything." "Can you sew well ?" "I think so." "At any rate, we will try you." A half a dozen shirts were given to Miss Vernon, and she was informed that if satis factorily done, she would lie paid twelve cents apiece. These she carried home slipping in at the back door. Two hours later the poor woman called. "Here are some shirts for you to make," said Miss Vernon. "Why, they are the same as I have lieen making," said the woman in surprise. "That is true, and they came from the same place." "Am I to bring 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." • "Yes, Miss Vernon, I will take pains I 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 again the next day. * "Nancy," said the heiress, after her por -1 tege lggl departed, "I shall wish to borrow r your old clothes again." "Certainly, Miss," said Nancy, "if it is ' not ashamed you are to appear in such " rags." "No one will know me, Nancy." • ' 'Sure, Miss, you can take them whenev er you hke." "I don't think I shall need them ;igain, Nancy, but thank you all the same." 1 Not long afterwards, Miss Vernon, in her shabby disguise, entered the establishment of William Winsor, with the bundle of 1 slurt, under her ann. She went to the counter and laid them down. "What have you got there V" demanded a pert young clerk. "Home, work, sir," said Miss Vernon, humbly. "Well, why don't you open the bundle?" said the young man, picking his teeth with his knife. Miss Vernon did so. The young man deigned to tumble over the shirts, glancing at them carelessly. "Shocking ! shocking !" he said. "What's the matter, sir ?" "They're wretchedly sewed. That's what's the matter, llow do you expect we are going to sell such shirts as these ?" 'T am sure I thought they were all 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 Yer j non. in seeming distress, j "That's your business, not mine. We I will try you once more, and give you I another half dozen shirts. If they are I done better you will be paid for them." "These are done will," said Miss Ver i non, snatching the bundle from tho coun j t' f, ' 'and I will show them to your eta j ployer." j To the indignation of the clerk, who was used to such independence in the poor wo men who worked for their establishment, Miss Vornou took the shirts to another part of the counter, where she saw Mr. 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 up one and pretended . to examine it "No, it is poorly done. We can't pay you for these, but you may have another , bundle, and, if they are satisfactory, you , will then be paid." "Didn't I tell vou so ?" said the clerk, 1 triumphantly. "Now, young woman, how much did you make by that operation. , "More than you think, perhaps," said ■ Miss Vernon, quietly. i "Do you want any more work ?" "No, I don't wish any," she said. "O, you are on your high horse, are you ?" Well, 3'ou 10:13- be glad to get work , some da\\ when 3'ou can't have it." , That evening was the one which William , Winsor usually spent with his betrothed. When lie was ushered in he went forward 1 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 Ask ed, surprised and startled.—"What have I done to entitle me to such a reception ?" "My hand bos taken yours for tho last time, Mr. Winsor," said Margaret. ' 'Good heavens ! what is tho meaning of all this ? Margaret explain yourself; I j cannot understand it." "I cannot take the hand of one who \ grows rich by defrauding poor women out ] of their scant - earnings." "Who says this of me ? Some one lias •j IMS 11 slandering me. Comfort me with my I accuser. There is some mistake here." ] J "I will do AS 3-on desire. Wait five ! minutes." 1 . Miss Vernon left the room, but soon re entered in her disguise. The young man strode up to her angrily. ■ "Are you the one who slandered me to ] Miss Vernon ?" he demanded, "I told her the truth." Tho young man reflected. Violent con- . tradiction, he saw, would not avail him ; he would tr\- another course. "Hark you. young woman," he said, in a low voice ; ' 'thpre WAS a mistake. I will give yon ton dollars on the spot, and all 1 the work you want at double rates, if 3-011 I I tell Miss Vernon it was all a mistake." "Too late, Mr. Winsor," said the veiled 1 figure," throwing up her veil and showing 1 the contemptuous face of Margaret Yer (j non. "Your bribe is offered in vain, j Good morning, sir," Confused and antoniahed, William Win : sor found his way to the door, and has nev er ventured to enter the house of the heir- ' ess since. He IIAS paid for his meanness in 1 his own coin. ' I Pri?" It WAS not Mrs. Partington who J thought "Ed." must ho a great newspaper i lxiy, because his name was attached to soD I many paragraphs in the papers. KISS HIM FOR HIS MOTHER. It was a very prettj- and very pious con ceit of that dear old lady who kissed the dead youth for his mother. Ho forcibh' luis it appealed to popular admiration since, that no inoonsiderable number of live young men have had the .same affectionate caress bestowed on them, out ol' respect for the same venerable relative. A striking example of this WAS afforded a few eveuiuga since ly a 3'ouug lady who enjoys the un divided affections of a handsome down town clerk. It so happened that some weeks ugo his mother died. His heart was consoled in this great liereftvemeut by the affectiouate sympathy of liis employer's fascinating daughter. It is not strange that this sympathy at hist ripened into love. The parents noted and approved their daughter's choice, hut wisely kept their own counsel. The interesting relations however, were destined to come to light in away least expected. (>n© evening the young couple were enjoying a pleasant TETE-A-TETE in a secluded nook of a parlor. The old gentleman, happened, by- the merest accident, to step in and take a seat unobserved by the young people. Sudden ly his attention WAS arrested by one of those prolonged luxurious kisses which on -1 ly lovers ever exchange. "What noise is that V the parent loftdly exclaimed. Silence like death. •'I say Julio, what noise is that ? •' "S-i-B—sir ?" ' 'What are 3'ou doing there ? " "N-o-t-h-i-n-g, sir!" "Only—onh- William, sir ; his mother's dead 30U know—and—and I thought it wouldn't be wrong to kiss him for her, you know, sir 1" "Humph !" and the old gentleman took liis leave, doubtless thinking how fortunate the deceased lady was to be so affectionately remembered. —XV. O. Picayune. DAHK HOURS.— We are all of us called up on to pass through trials and disappoint ments. We all of ns know the meaning of sorrow. Wo have all of ns experienced disappointments and regrets; we have seen those we deemed friends, constant and rue, turn from us, and with mocking words 011 their lips, throw onr friendship back in our foees. We liave seen the surf light of prosperity dimmed by the clontfs of misfortune. But we have also known joys and experienced pleAsnrcs. Wo know there are true hearts in this beautiful world of ours. We know that, though the clouds overcast the sky to-day, the snu will shine to-morrow. "Man is born a hero ; and it is only in darkness and storms that heroism gains its greatest and best developments, and the storms bear it ou rapidly to its defini tion." Do not let us despair thcu, but let us cherish hope, aud with cheerful persever ance push on towards tlie goal of success. IWe cannot hope to win an}- prize, no mat ter how small, without surmounting ob stacles, and overcoming difficulties. Dark hours must come to all; but they cannot always last —the light wiil coiac agaiu—the sun will break through the clouds, and jo}- will take the place of sor row, if we will only cherish hope, if we do not give up in despair, nor cease to strug gle on. . PUNCTUALITY.— -It may seem of little mo ment to be punctinil, but to use the words of an eminent theologian, "our life is made up of little things." Our attention to tln-ia is the index of our character of the scales by which it is weighed. Punctuwlit}' in quires no undno exertion, and its influence is a most salutary one. Its ouitivutien s; tho more important AS c we WJMICM the deleterious influence of dilutoriiuvw in habit, the evil effect of which none deny. "Better late than newer," transformed into "better never late," is an excellent maxim. Whether we move in the higher walks rf life, or tliread the quiet paths tif humble pursuits, puntuality repays us for what little effort we make iu its cultivation.
