HaVn't the Change.

Il was house cleaning time, and had an Ole
colored woman scrubbing and cleaning paint
Polly is going" said one of my domestics, a:
the twilight began to fall.
Very we'll Tell her that shall want her TO-
morrow"
| think she would like TO have her money fol
,o-day's work. said the girl.
:" / took out my purse, and found that ! had
nothing in ii less than a three dollar bill.
How much does she have day !!
Six shillings.'
81 havn't the change this evening. Tell her
that I'll pay her for both days Tomorrow"
The girl left the room, and thought no more
Of Polly for an hour. Tea time had come and
passed, when one of my domestcs, who was rath-
er communicative in her habits, said to me-
al don't think Polly liked your not paying her
this evening"
She must be very unreasonable then" said |,
without reflection +" | sent her word that had
no change. How did she expect that could
pay"
"Some people are queer you know" remarked
the girl who had made the communication, more
for the pleasure Of telling it than anything else.
kept thinking over what the girl had said, until
another suggestion came into my mind
:" / wish had sent and got bill changed"
said /, as the idea that Polly might be really in
want of money ntruded itself. " 1t would have
been very little trouble"
This was the beginning Of a new train of re-
Heciions, which did not make me very happy
To avoid little touble, had sent the poor old
woman away, after hard days work, without her
money. That she stood in need oft, was evident
from the fact that she had asked for it.
How very thoughtless in me- as d"eit lon
ger and longer on the subject.
Whats the matter = enquired my husband
seeing me look serious.
{" Nothing to be very much troubled at, re-
piled.
"Yet you, are troubled
liam; and cannot help it. You will, perhaps
smile al me, but such causes sometimes produce
much pain. Old Polly has been at work all day
scrubbing and cleaning When night came she
asked for her wages, and |, instead of taking the
trouble to get the money for her, sent her WORD
that hadn't the change. There was nolhng less
than three dollar note in my purse. oidh 10
feet that poor woman who has to 60 out 10 oahy
work must need her money as soon as itiS earned |
I'm very sorry"

NOw.a.Days.

Alas how every thing is changed
Since was sweet sixteen,
When all the girls wore home-spun frocks,
And aprons nice and clean
With bohnets made of braided straw
That tied beneath their chin,
And shawls laid neatly on the neck,
And fastened with pin.
But now a-days the ladies' wear
French gloves and feather'd hats,
That take up half yard ofsky
In coal scu;tle shape or flats
With frocks that do not fall as low
As such things ought TO fall
And waist that you might break in two,
They are so very small
Dear me. young ladies now -a-days,
Would almost faint away,
To think of riding all alone,
In wagon, chaise or sleigh:
And as for getting Pa his meals,
Or helping Ma to bake,
o saints, 'twould spoil their lily hands,
Though sometimes they make cake.
When winter came, the maiden's heart
Would begin to beat and hutter,
Each beau would take his sweetheart out
Sleigh riding in cutter.
Or if the storm was bleak and cold,
The girls and beaux together,
Would meet ard have most glorious fun,
And never mind the weather.
But now indeed, il grieves NE much
The circumstance 10 mention
However kind young mans heart,
And honest his intention,
He ne'er can ask girl to ride
But such war is waged
And if he sees her once a weeS,
Why surely g they're engaged !"
