we have no fears that it will be more slavery

An INGENIOUS trick has been twice prac-
,iced upon the famous aud fashionable house
of the Stewards, in New York, About
year since, well dressed lady called in and
selected shawl The price Of which was
$500. She handed out thousand dollar
bill, which the clerk questioned. She took
it back, and appeared 10 be indignant, when
on reflection she handed over another and
genuine bill on the same bank, and request
ed that it be taken to a bank. This was
done, and the bill pronounced 10 be genuine.
The lady then put it into her purse, shaking
her pretty head ominously Il, The clerk who
had dared 10 insnua,e that her mony was
not good. She started 10 go out, the poor
clerks making all sorts of apologies. But on
reflection, she reiurned-the shawl pleased
her-it was so very heantiful-she would
not permit her excited feelings TO deprive
her Of an aTlcl that pleased her so we'll
She would have The shawl pu, up. The
smiling clerk had it ready in a jffy.-
She handed out thousand dollar bill on the
same bank. The clerks thought it was the
same. They gave her S400 change, and the
fair one lei, with the shawl and the change.
On making deposile in the afternoon, how
ever, they found that the bill was s,raiga,
on, counterfeit The lady had shifted the
good aud bad 10 suit her own purposes, coolly
leaving the bad one in the hands OF the
Slewar,s, carrying oil their $500 Of good mo-
ney and their rich shawl. A few week:
since, we are informed, the same fine tricA
was again played on the same house, The
only difference being that the beautiful lady
on this occasion took two 500 shawls, let

WOMAN'S CHARMS.
BY J. c. MILLER.

The angels smile on woman's chsek,
The love.leht in her eye
When these their proper language speak,
We answer with sigh.
When anger fiushcs in her cheek,
And lighlens in her eye,
We blush to think that Woman's charm
Should ever wake Il sigh
As April clouds, when swiftly borne
Before the driving blast,
A beauty marring shadow o'er
The smiling landscape cast.
SO Anger, woman's loveliness
With frouns, can sadly mar,
And quench elernaIly the light
OF Loves sweet. morning star.

THE REIGN OF PETTICOATS.

Timothy Brown, stand up said his Hon
or the Mayor, while trying the watch
house cases this morning, to a slim nervous
looking creature, in the prisoners dock.
Timothy stood up, but instead of casting
his eyes towards the Mayor, he kept them
fixed upon short and somewhat corpulent
lady, with highly figured shawl thrown
over her rather broad shoulders, and bonnet
covered with flowers upon her herd, who
sat on the opposite side of the court room.
At the time Mr.. Browns name was called,
she was engaged in packing sundry little ar
ticles in a highly ornamented rrilcule. AS
he raised his body, however, she raised her
head, and their eyes met. A kick from
horse could not have shocked Timothy more
severely, for he certainly would have fal-
len, had not his hands nervousy grasped the
railings Of the dock.
'Mr. Brown said the Mayor, 'you are
charged with abusing your wife,
