Here is quite a romantic—and strange, if true--Lstory : A beautiful young heiress had become so dis gusted with a flattering set of softpated, po mat um-haired, moustache lipped, strongly-per fumed suitors for her hand, that she shut her self from the fashionable world, turned all her property into money, deposited it all in banks, donned a cheap wardrobe, put on a mask, and went pedestrian-like, through the city in which she' had hitherto moved with so much display and magnificence. She asked alms of those who had of late knelt at her feet and sued fur her hand. They knew her not, and casting a look of scorn Upon her veiled face and coarse wardrobe, bade her begone. Sho entered the country—here she met with derision and scorn. A few kind-hearted people, it is true, bestowed aid ; but those were of 'the poorer class, who had to work to procure their daily bread ; but they could not turn a fellow-creature hungry from their door, and therefore gave a small pit tance from their.scanty. store. One summer day, a large company met on Beach. They were mostly from the ci ty. The distinguished heiress from some cause or other had wandered there. She asked alms of one or two termed " upper tens." They spoke tauntingly but gave nothing. What they said had been heard by quite a number of their company. Most of them laughed, or looked as if they thought it " served her right." The beggar woman turned about and was walking sadly away, when a good looking gentleman stepped forward and catching hold of her arm, thus spoke : " Stny, my good woman-Ltell me what you want." She replied in a low trembling tone, " I want a sixpence —only a sixpence." " You shall have ten times that sum. Here," he added, drawing from his pocket an eagle, and placing it in the gloved hand of the woman, " take this, and if it is not enough, I will give you another." The heiress returned the eagle, exclaiming, " I want, only s a sixpence, sir—only a six pence !" Seeing that she could not be made to take the coin, the gentleman drew forth a sixpence, and gave it to the strange being beside him, who, after thanking the generous donor, walked slowly away. After being laughed at for so doing by his comrades, he set out in pursuit of the beggar woman, saying: •Perhaps she is an heiress—or an angel in disguise. I mean to ascertain." Not that he thought this. lle wished to show his indifference to what his comrades said, besides satisfying himself about the strange Te male whom he had aided. lie soon overtook her, and addressed her thus : " Pardon me, madam, for pursuing you. I would know more about you." As the speaker ceased, the mask dropped from the face of the female, and the beautiful MEE heiress was portrayed before the astonished gen tleman. That they were afterwards married, the read er has already imagined, for the heiresS used this means of procuring a worthy husband, and the generous gentleman had long been looking for •• an angel in disguise." The happy husband is often heard to say that he got an " heiress fur a six•pence." GEO Tile American Girl. Our hearts are o ith our native land, oitr song is for her glory; ller warrilea Ivrea'lt is in our haunt, Our lips lire:dile out her glory, 11er lolly bills and valley:4 green, Are I.bining bright before us ! ( 11141 like a rainbow sign is eeen Iler proud tlegivaving o'er mi. . - And there aro smiles upon her lips For those wlto meet our foemen, .For glory's star knOws no eclipse, . When smiled upon by woman, • For those who bravo the mighty deep, And scorn the thread of danger; We've smiles, to cheer, and tears to weep I'ur every ocean ranger. Our hearts aro with our native land, Our songs arc fur her freedom ;• Our prayers aro for the milliMi s band Who strike where honor leads them, Who love-the taintless air we breathe, (Tie freedom's endless dower) We'll twine fur him an endless wreath Who scorns a tyrant's power. They tell me of Franco's beauties fair, ' Of proud daughters; Of Scotland's lasses—lingland's And nyMphs of Sharon's waters, We need not boast their .hattglity charms, Though lords around them hover, Our glory lies in freedom's artus.• A FREEMAN for a lover ! • Caln Oregort, hail-stones fell lately as largo hs watermelons, the snow flakes of that country aro as large as umbarellas. So says somebody. E7Thero is no blessing like that of health, particularly when you're sicke Youthful Friendship. What fond and generous friendships are often bred among youthful companions in the bright epoch of sebool•day life ! Then the innocence, gayety, and hope of unsophisticated hearts cre ate sky and land anew, and robe the scene in their own soft hues. No cynic frost has fallen on our disinterested sympathies. The world I has not laid its icy hands on our throbbing pul -1 ses. Our faith in each other, in whatever is lovely, virtuous, hiroic, knows no limits. Then I how frequent it is for attachments, to grow up, at whose stainless sincerity and tender romance we smile in after years, when, alas, in too many cases, time has hardly brought enough to coin , pensate for what it has taken away ! Togeth er we wander through the fields as through en chanted grounds. We dream dreams resplen dent with the triumphs we fondly vow and think to win. In the ardentness of that pure time our secret souls are transparent, and in the unflawed clearness of our communion we look through each other. Our joys, our griefs, our whole hearts, are united in a free friendship whose strength and closeliness foretell a sweeter and nobler life than the fairest passages of history have as yet real ized. These halcyon unions rarely survive a full entrance upon the common pursuits of life. But they arc prophetic. And when the cares of the world, the deceitfulness of riches, and many sins come upon us and alienate us, still their glorious oracles are never all forgotten. They haunt us like voices from fairy land. And oft the cliffs and shores of memory reverberate the plaintive echoes of our love, calling after many a beautiful Ilylas vanished from beside the fountain of youth. How often the remem brances of the friends and friendships of other days come back from the byegone times when we knew them, and fill our hearts as with the wild, sad melodies of an Xolian harp ! Who, as he reviews the hallowed hours that went so swiftly in the morning of life, and recalls the dear, familiar faces laid so early in the dust of the grave, would be ashamed to shed a tear to their mingled memory ? TO -. Thou wilt not mira mu when I'm gone So many crowd the throng, On lif:'.+ broad path my vacant place Will not be vacant long; Am% when lommith the cold damp eml My body low is laid, No blessings will be o'er me ached, No.tears o'er mu be Shed. Thou wilt not miss me when I'm gone, Another thy heart will rill; Another ela:p thee to his breast, And cause thy soul to thrill; Another breathe the same sweet words I've often breathed to thee, And to another thou wilt make The rows thou' et made to mu. Live Within Your Means We don't like " economy" when it comes I down to rags and starvation. We have no sym pathy with the notion that the poor man should hitch himself to a post and stand still while the rest of the world goes forward. It is no man's dUty to deny himselfof every amusement, every luxury, every recreation, every comfort. that he may get rich. It is no man's duty to make an iceberg of himself—to shun his eyes to the suffering of his fellows—and to deny himself the • enjoyments that result from generous actions—, merely that ho may hoard wealth for his heirs to quarrel about. But there is yet economy, which is every man's duty, and which is'ispecially Commend ; able in a man who struggles with poverty, an economy which is consistent with happiness, and which must be practiced of a poor man would secure independence. It is every man's privilege and becomes his duty to live within his means: not up to but within them. Wealth does not make the man we admit, and should never be taken into the I account in our judgment of men. But a corn ; petence should be secured, not so much fur oth ers to look upon, or to elevate us in the estima tion of others, as to secure the consciousness of independence, and the constant satisfaction that is derived from its acquirement and possession. We would like to impress - this fact upon the mind of every laboring man who may - peruse this short article, that it is possible for him to rise above poverty ; and that the path to inde pendence, though beset with toils and self-sac rifice, is much pleasanter to the traveller than any.one ho can enter ppon. The man who feels that ho is °unlit , some thing more than he is spending will walk the streets with a much lighter heart, and enter his home with a much more cheerful countenance than he who spends as he goes, or falls groat ally behind his • necessities in acquiring the rhesus of meeting them. Next to the slavery of intemperance, there is no slavery more galling than that of poverty and indebtedness. The man who is everybody's debtor is everybody's slave, and in a much ; worse condition than he who serves a single, master. For the sake of the present, then as well as for the sake of the future, we would most ear nestly urge upon every working matt to live within his means. Let him lay by something every day—if but a penny be a penny—it is better than nothing ; infinitely better than rui ning in debt a penny a day or a penny a week. If he Call earn a dollar, let him try, fairly and faithfully, the experiment of living on ninety cents. lie will like it. • People will laugh. Let them laugh. They will call me stingy. Better call ymi stingy than to say you do not pay your debts. They will wonder why I do not have better fur niture, live in a finer house, and attend concerts and the play house. Let them wonder for a while it will not hurt you. By and by you cant have a fine house and fine furnitureof your own, and they will come billing and cooing around you, like so many pleased fools. Try the ex periment. Live within your means.—Maine Farmer. Sleep. . . There is no fact more clearly established id the physiology of man than this, that the brain expands its energies and itself during the hour of wakefulness, and "that these are recuperated during sleep ; if the recuperntion does noy equal the expenditures, the brain withers —this is the insanity. Thus it is, that in early English history, persons who were con demned to death by being prevented from sleep ing, always died raving maniacs ; thus it is al so, that those who are starved to death become insane ; the brain is not nourished, and they cannot sleep. The practical inferences are three : Ist. Those who think most, who do most brain work, require most sleep. 2nd. That time " saved" from necessary sleep, is infallably destructive to mind, body,. and estate. 3d. Clive yourself, your children, your ser ' Vant, give all who are under you, the fullest amount of sleep they will take, by compelling them to go to bed at some regular early•hour, and to arise in the morning the moment they awake of themselves, and within a fortnight, na ture, With ahnost the regularity of the rising sun, will unloose the bon(sN of sleep, the mo ment enough repose has been secured for the wants of the system. This is the only safe and sufficient rule ; and as to the question how much sleep any one requires, each must be a rule for himself ; great Nature will never fail to write it to the observer, under the regulations just given.—Journal q f Ifealih. United Living. Children. ituf On the 4th of April, 1855, one of the iliest cases of double formatiom occurred in the St. Petersburg Foundling Hospital—namely, two girls growing together.by the skulls—still alive, and so far appear to be in good health. Of all the cases of thiskind heretofoke known, (of which there are seven,) the union of the two individ uals was never of that kind to bring the face of ono child directly opposite the face of the other. These twins are so united that if the middle lino of the face of one child be prolonged, this would strike upon the ear of the other. Through the . , mobility of the necks the two children really' lie in a straight line, one girl lying on the back, the other on •the side, and thus they sleep. The face of one child is quite symmetrical as' far as the forehead, and it i's 'first in the forma tion of the skull that want of symmetry appears. In the face of the other, the right half is much . shortened, and the eye of this side opens less than the .other. The two children possess a perfect independent existence from each other as relates to sleeping, walking, want of food, &c. The one sleeps quietly, whilst the other takes nourishment, or looks about. Common sensibility does not seem to exist, since in ca s es • of this kind the brains and nerves of each indi vidual arm are preserved distinct. Not so al ways with blood vessels. Once, one child screaming loud awoke its sister. The face of the screaming child became suffused, and'red- dened deeply, whilst the other was still asleep. The face of the other began to redden and swell,* and it was only after this that it opened its eyes. The features of the two children, espeoially Of the ono whose face is shortened,,,aro very' leasing. • How to make Honey.
