The bn?ht January sunshine was turnin
M iruwd mh.w to diamonds, aud making
-Matkcusic'a shabby carpet look half a
dozen degrees shabbier than ever the clock
had j'ust struck eleven,and Ruth Murray, in
a blue delane dress, and a tnm linen collar,
was tacking together the breadths of a gold
colored glace silk, with her rosy mouth full
of pins. Miss Mackenzie stood watching
her, With a skirt lining depending from her
bony arm.
"Ruth," said the old maid, dubiously, "I
don't understand you at all."
"Don't you Hetty? Well, that's not at all
stranite, for half the time I don't understand
myself."
"No, but Ruth, this arrangement seems
to be so unsatisfactory so unsuitable -"
"Don't my work give satisfaction?"
"I never had an apprentice learn half so
quickly. Those white little fingers of yours
seem gifted by maic."
"Thank 30U," said Ruth. sewing demure
ly. "The yellow silk, please? Didn't you
tell me that Miss Trevor was coming here
at eleven to try on her dress?"
"So she said and there is the carriage
dashing up to the door now. It's a fine
thing to be rich. Are you sure the dres.s is
ready, Ruth?"
"Quite."
Perhaps Ruth Murray's cheek was a trifle
pinker than usual as Miss Trevor rustled
loftily into the room; but otherwise there was
no shade (if difference in her n.anncr or de
meanor. "I'm afraid I'm a little behind time," be
gan the imperious young lady, throwing off
her costly ermine cape: "but why, Ruth
Murray ! this surely cannot be you !"
"It is I, .Miss Trevor."
Ma; ia Trevor started.
"Oh, you've come to have a dress fitted;
Miss Mackensie has such success."
"No," said Ruth quietly; "I am Miss
Mackensie's assistant."
"A dressmaker !" almost shrieked Miss
Trevor.
"Yes. a drcssmkaer."
3 aria drew herself up haughtily.
"This is very strange," she said rigidly
"nay it is quite unaccountable. I thought
you we re a visitor at Wardlev PI ice?"
"I was."
"And did Kate War.lley know"
"Who I was? Perfectly."
Maria tossed her head.
"Upon my word! this was really too
gratuitous sn insult to her other gue.-ts !
Kate Wari'.ey shall know my opinion of her
conduct."
Ruth had grown pale and then red, but
the next moment a score of laughing dim
pies btoke out around her mouth.
"It was dreadful to admit a dressmaker
into the circle of her aristocratic friends
and it was unheard of audacity in the dress
maker to venture within the charmed limits.
Will you allow me to try on your dress, Miss
Trevor ?"'
Maria stoorj haughtily silent in the mid
dle of the room, while Ruth, mounted on a
stool to bring her nearer Miss Trevor's
height, put in pins here and there, and laid
little foi ls, and basted refractory seams.
"She is pretty," thought Maria, as the
sunlight glanced thwart Ruth's golden hair
and shewed the exquisitely fine texture of
her roc leaf skin. "No pearl powder there !
I wonder if there was any truth in the re
port that Charles fancied her ! The idea of
our brother Birring with a dressmaker ! for
of course it. was nothing but a flirtation !"
And Miss Maria unconsciously gave her
self such a jerk that two pins flew half across
the room, and Ruth arched her eyebrows.
"Dear me. Miss. Trevor, I shall never get
your dress fitted if you don't stand still !"
"ITome!'' said Maria imperatively to the
coachman, as she folded the gay Afghan
over her silken skirts. The promised turn
in the park must stand aside now Miss
Trevor was anxious to import to others the
choii-e bit of gossip she had gleaned.
Mrs. Trevor was dreaming over a bit of
embroidery by the fire, and Charles Trevor,
standing in the bay window, was glancing
up and down the columns of the moruina
paper, as Maria entered. It was a magnifi
cent drawing room, with ceilings of fresro
and col ', and carpets soft and rich as the
finest m )ss, while plate-glass windows. hung
with massive satin draperies, let in a soften
ed light, an 1 rich pictures glimmered on the
walls. The Trevors were not rich, but they
! were very wordly, and knew exactly how to
j make appearances their tool.
I "Mamma, what do you think?" exciaim
j ed Maiia, breathless and cascr ; "that Ruth
Murray, whom we met at Ward ley Place
the pretty blonde I told of "
"What of her?" asked Mrs. Trevor, as
Maria stopped for breath, and Charles look
ed up quickly, with a deep color on his cheek.
"file's nothing but a dressmaker !"
"Nonsense, Maria, you must surely be
mistaken." J
"Rut I'm not mistaken, mamma. I saw
her this very morning at Miss Mackensie's,
and she tried my dress on with her own
hands!"
"Surely, my loye. Kate WarJley would
never invite a young person in that social
position to "
"But, mamma, the Wardley's are so odd.
you never know what freaks they may be
guilty of. The idea of a common dressma
ker presuming to associate with those who
are so far above her!"
"Stop a moment, Maria," said Charles
Trevor advancing into the room. "I have
yet tD learn in what respect Miss Murray is
at all inferior to any of the guests at Ward
ley Place. In my estimation, her beauty,
grace and intellect place her far above any
young lady there."
"There, mamma, I told you just how it
was!" said Maria, turning to her mother.
"Charles has been just foolish enough to
become infatuated with her baby faco. I
wish we had never gone to Wardlcy Place."
"My dear hoy," urged Mrs. Trevor, "you
surely cannot be In earnest?"
"Mother," said Charles quickly, "I am
so deeply and entirely in earnest that I shall
ask you in a few days to welcome Ruth as
your son's wife."
"Charles!" gasped the mother, "are you
insane ?"
"Will you receive her as a second daughter
mother?"
"Never!"
"And I never, never, will recognize her
as one of the family," exclaimed Maria, ac
tually white with anger. "Charles, how dare
you degrade us ?"
"It is an honor," returned her brother
calmly. "Ruth is a jewel of the first water
more's the pity that you are blind to its
sparkle."
"Rut, Charles, my son," pleaded the
mother, "we have ?o depended on your ma
king a wealthy alliance."
"Mother, I am so sick of th's scheming
and maneuvering," pasiionately spoke out.
the young man. "Depend upon it, I never
will become the hanger-on to a rich wife. I
have too much respect for myself to be
bought and sold in the matrimonial market.
I love Ruth Murray, and I shall marry
her!"
And from this position no storm of tears,
reproaches or upbraiiings could induce him
to swerve one hair drcadth. It was not
pleasant to be seen, this domestic whirl
wind; but was not Ruth Murray worth it
i-i- ......
"And when will you be my wif-i, Ruth?"
"Only wait until February, Charles,"
pleaded the blue-eyed little damsel "I have
but one relation in the world my uncle
and he 1.1 coming home from abroad. I
should like him to be present at my mar
riage."
So Charles Ti evor waited, much against
his will.
Maria Trevor came into the drawing room
one evening, full charged with the fashiona
ble 011 Jit of the day.
"Mamma, everybody is talking about
this Sir William Murray who arrived from
India. Mr. Lacy says he was Commander-
in-Chief there, and is immensely rich;
moreover that he is an old bachelor, and
his niece is to be sole heiress. Couldn't we
contrive to make her acquaintance? O, it
Charles was not such an iufatuated madman
about this dress maker gill !
"It s the same name," mused Mrs. Tre
vor; "surely, they cannot be counected?"
Maria laughed coiitcmptously.
"General Murray codnected with a dress
maker! that looks likely, don't it?"
And Mrs. Trevor owned to herself that
the idea had bten a very vague and vision
ary one.
I be weddir:g was to be very qui :t Ruth
bad insisted upon ibis and as she walked
to the church dressed in a neat traveling
guiso, leaning confidently on the arm of her
future husband, a sudden incmoiy flashed
across Charles Trevor's brain
"I thought you expected an uncle to be
here, Ruth?"
"He will meet us at the church, Charles."
"And you've never even told me his
name."
"His name
s? General Sir William Mur-
ray."
"What?
-not the General Sir William
Murray?''
"I think there is but one General Sir
Willinm Mumy," said Ruth, smiling at her
lover s astonishment.
"Hallo!" ejaculated Charles stopping
short and staring down into the blue eves-
"and are you the heiress that half the
world is gossiping about?"
"I believe so, Charles."
Charles Trevor never spoke another word
until the marriage ceremony required his
voice, and hardly knew whether he was
awake or dreamirg,' when his little wife
introduced him to the tall, white-haired
old gentleman, who had given her away
as "uncle William."
"Young man," said the General, "My
niece tells me she has married you under
false pretenses do you regret the transac-
tion ;
"Not a bit of it," said Charles, heartily,
"I don't care whether she is a dressmaker
or in heiress, as long as she is my own lit
tle Ruth."
"It was her own caprice," said the veter
an, laughing. "The fact is, Ruth was so
afraid of becoming the victim of some de
vouring foitune hunter "
"That she turned dress-maker in self-defence,"
said Ruth finishing her uncle's sen
tence for him. "Kate Wardley and Miss
McKensic who had once been uiy mother's
maid were alone cognizant of the secret;
and they have kept it well. Now it is no
longer a secret. Oh, Charley, how I trem
bled that night at Wardley Place, lest you
should withdraw your love when I told jou
I was only a dress-maker."
"I love you, Ruth," said honest Charles,
all unconscious that any other explanation
were possible.
And Ruth looked triumphantly at her
uncle, with eves that said, "Have mt I won
a prize?"
Uncle YTilliani wiped his spectacles and
smiled, but said nothing. To him Ruth was
the dearest thing in all the world, and he
could fully symathize with Mr Charles Tre
vor. Mrs. Ruth welcomed her mother and sister-in-law
to her palace home with a sweet
frankness and cordial welcome that almost
persuaded Maria into the belief that she
had entirely forgotten the little episode in
Miss Mackensie's room, and Maria loves
dearly to talk to her fashionable friends
about "darling little sister Ruth the heir
ess, you know that Charlie married !"
The ''Dollar" Store Humbug
A subscriber of the New York Commer
cial Advertiser invests his money at a "dol
!ar store," and being cheated, complains to
that newspaper, which pities him after this
fashion :
Every man of common sense know3 that
one dollar will not purchase ten dollars
wortn 01 anything. iMen as green as our
correspondent do often give a dollar for ten
cents' worth .of brass jewelry or kindred
toys; but even such us they would not give
ten dollars' worth of desirable merchandise
for a one dollar greenback. Our correspond
ent hopes that his "experience will benefit
some fellow man," but it will do nothing of
the kind. It will not even keep himself
from falling into the next tray baited for
this class of bu.nanity. No amount of
warning or entreaty wil!;kcepthis gsneration
of fools from supporting those whose busi
ness it is to dupe the greedy and simple.
ror, let it be well understood, it is not hon
est simplicity that is victimized. It is dis
honest folly that is enticed into the trap.
A rogue stutTsa pocket-book with bogus
bills, resembling genuine bank notes of large
denominations, and drops it on the side
walk. A coiifeikrate picks it up in the
presence of an honest simpleton, and asks
him if it is his. The iunoceno answers
"No," and cannot be made a victim. The
dishonest fool snys "Yes," and gives, the
finder a liberal reward out of good money
from his own pocket. He may persuade
himself that he docs this expecting tore
turn the lost property to the true owner ;
but the real motive is the hope ot gain at
somebody else's espensc. So in the "dollar
trade," if the buyer really thinkshe will get
icu nines 1 ne vaiue 01 1114 money, ne cr.n
only hope to doit at the cost of another.
The last victim of this kind who called on
us explained that, the storekeeper promised
to give him ten dollars' worth of something
for ? dollar, as an advertisement to decoy
other purchasers. He was thus willing to
become himself a partner in the fraud
Honest, simple folk are not so easily cheat
ed, but a greedy fool is sure to be entrap
ped.
I Caa't Afford It.
With all the courage of the American,
which is unquestionable, to do and to dare,
there is one thing he is unequal to, and
that is to say Jcnu't afford it, and act in
accordance with such a declaration. If by
any hazard he is forced to check his inordi
nate consumption for want of a dollar, he
will submit h patiently perhaps as others to
the constraint, but never confess the motive.
His ingenuity will supply Liui with every
possible device for dodging an acknowledge
ment of the real cause of his compulsory
economy. The confession of a want of tnon
ey wi'd never be forced from his lips. Thh
would require too great a deduction from
his self-complacent assertion of American
omnipotence. It is preposterous for one of
his mighty stride to be brought to a stop by
want of means to pay the day's reckoning.
He will never acknowledge so humiliating a
check, but will contrive plausible and more
dignified cause for stoppage.
This disinclination to say 1 can t afford it
leads inevitably to an undue strain of expen
diture upon means. No one being willing to
confess the weakness of poverty, all make a
brave show of the power of wealth. Thus
the general expense is out of all proportion
to the common prosperity.
The unwillingness to utter I emit afford
it implies an undue regard for wealth,
and seems to aSix the stigma of disgrace to
poverty. Ilencsthe pecuniary estimate of
human success, by; which character is val
ued in dollars and cents, and man is nothing
or something, according to tl balance in
his ledger.
This common aversion to the frankness of
I cant affofd 'it is a perpetual provocative
of pretense. Hence a life of artifice, where
we conceal ourselves from each other in the
masks of pretended wealth and showy dis
guises of fashion. No one will be able to
assert bis true independence of character
until he dares to say I can't afford it.
TllAXSI'LANTINli MOUNTAIN PKAKS.
Professor Gunning delivered a lecture in
Hartford, Connecticut, on the last glacial
period, during which he stated that he had
seen in Stamford, Vermont, a mountain of
granite as peculiar as that of Superior, but
of different type. The crystals were foliated.
Science car. find that granite at home onlv
in Stamford. The mountain is a truncated
cone. J.he top has been cupped oil. jorth
of the Mountain there was not a single
boulder of foliated granite. South of the
3Iountain there were multitudes of such
boulders. Perched on the very top of Hiosae
Mountain the tourist may see a boulder.
about seventy feet iu circumference, and
fifteen feet high. If he looks at the boul
der, then at the mountain, he will see that
the boulder has no kinship with the moun
tain. I he boulder is that same Stamford
granite a Vermont carpet bagger ensconced
on one of the highest peaks of Massachu
setts. The tourist may look south westward
over Deerfield Valley thirteen hundred feet
deep, and see far in the distance the outlines
of Stamford mountain from whose top that
boulder was torn.

To Young Men.
It is easier to be a good business man than
a poor one. Half the energy displayed in
keeping ahead that is required to catch up
when behind will save credit, give more
time to business, and add to the profit and
reputation of your word. Honor your en
gagements. If you promise to meet a man,
or do a certain thing at a certain moment,
t3 ready at the appointed time. If you
have work to do, do it at once, cheerfully,
and therefore more speedily and correctly.
Ifyougoouton business, attend promptly
to the matter on hand, and then as prompt
ly go about your own business. Do not
stop to tell stories in business hours.
If you have a place ot business, be found
there when wanted. No man can get rich
by sitting round stores and saloons. Nev
er "fool" on business matters. If you have
to labor for a living, remember that one
hour in the morning is better than two at
night. If you employ others, be on hand
to see that they attend to their duties,
and to direct with regularity, promptness
and liberality. Do not meddle with any
business you know nothing of. Never buy
any article simply because the man that
sells it will take it out in trade. Trade is
money. Time is money. A good busi
ness habit and reputation is always money.
Make your place of buisncss pleasant and
attractive ; then stay there to wait on cus
tomers.
Never use quick words, or allow yourself
to make hasty or ungentleinanly remarks,
to those in your employ ; for to do so less
ens their respect for you and your influ
ence over them. Help yourself, and others
will help you. Re faithful over the inter
ests confided to your keeping, and all in
good time your responsibilities will he in
creased. Do not be in too great haste to
get rich. Do not build until you have ar
ranged and laid a good foundation. Do not
as you hope to work for success spend
time hi idleness. If your time issyour own,
business will sutler if yoa do. If it is giv
en to another for pay, it belongs to him, and
you have no more right to steal that than to
steal money. Be obliging. Strive to avoid
harsh words and personalities. Do not
kick every stone in the path ; more miles
can be made in a day by going steadily on
than by stopping to kick. Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word as he
docs his bond. Ask, but never beg. Help
others when you can, but never give when
you cannot afford to, sirepjy because it is
fashionable. Learn to say no. No neces
sity of snapping it out dog-fashion, but say
it firmly and respectfully. Have but few
confidents, and the fewer the better. Use
your own brains ratherthan those of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself. Re
vigilant. Keep ahead, rather than behind
the time.
Young men, cut this out; and if there is
folly in the argument, let us know.
"How I Hate the Raix." Thus ex
claimed a little girl in our hcariig last even
ing, as the big drops pattered oc the window
pane, and she looked out almost sobbing at
her inability to enjoy a promenade. It was
a foolish thought of the child ; but many a
grown up person is just as foolish in their
wishes. They would rejoice to exclude
every cloud from their social horizon. They
then would be blest if they could be insured
continuous good fortune no griefs, no mel
ancholy, no vicissitudes of condition. Ah,
what a great mistake. They would die of
ennui m a month ! The monotony of satis
faction would be unendurable. Our little
afflictions are actually a relief. Thoy enable
us to enjoy again that pleasure which, if
unintcrrupteu, would sicken us to satiety
and sorrow. Trouble and pain are the clouds
and the rain which give variety to our social
existence, and fructify our social nature.
The world was not made for incessant light
or darkness, nor man for incessant joy or
woe. Change is at ouce our annoyance and

A cynical journalist ravs the reason such
