" He introduced himself TO me g was walk ing in
the Washington Parade Ground, last summer; and
then invited me to the party in Walker street."
"Then, Miss, you are not aware that am Mr.. -
OF Wall street; that there no other person of that
the city; and that have corae here accord
ing to your request 10 ask an explanation of what it
means"
The poor girl burst into tears, and it was some time
before she was sufficiently composed to speak She
then stated that a gay and hands me young man.
who represented himself as Mr.. - the eminent
broker of Wall street, had destroyed her peace; and
that she had frequently met him at apartments in
Walker street, which were saln aimed very splendid
style, and where some dozen of young ladies' and
gentlemen were habual guests. Among the male
vslians she mentioned several names, at which the
Wall street gentlemen prcked up their ears, they
were well known To them of family and for
tune in the Blocker street neiehborhood on more
minute enquiry, they found out that the bearers of
these names were entirely dssmIlar in appearance
and age, although the locality Of their places of bus
ness and other particulars were correct. Pursuing
their investigation they found out that there was a
set of young scoundfes about town who passed them
selves oil of fortune and fashion, and assumed
the names of well known men of business down
town. that they occupied luxurious apartments under
their borrowed nomenclatures, and gave gay and
brilliant soirees TO one another and to young and IN
experienced girls, who attered at the idea of
being admitted into such distingu6 society. The
end, however was similar to that which this poor
girl had to depore innocence corrupted -respecta-
bllliy ruined ;-good name lost;-the maternal con-
dition realized without any title to the station of the
wife; and distress and anguish entaled upon their
| families and connexions.
Such were the facts CLEANED by these gentlemen in
~,
revelation which groves that there is like
that of real life-no coloring vivid that of the
real; that one half the world cannot guess how the
other half exsts-and that there is wonderful lot
things in heaven and earth than is dreamed of
! in the philosophy of any of us. The two gentlemen
then explained to the poor father the Of their
visit, and left the house, the father in astonshment-
| the daughter in tears.
Let all young women in middle life take care OF
strangers assuming great names.

In robes OF smiling colors clad,
And yet, perchance, thy heart is sad.
