An lIEIREss FOR SIXPENCE.-A bealiti-
fill Young beiress had become so disgusted
with the hattcring set Of soit-pated pomatum
haired moustacIie-lippcd, strongly perfumed
suitors for her hand that She shut herself out
from the fashionable q world; ; turned all her
property into money, deposited it all in banks
donned Il cheap wardrobe; put on a mask
and she went peleStrian-like through the city
in which she had hitherto moved with so
much display and magniicence. She asked
aims Of those who Of late had knelt at her
feet, and sued for her hand. They knew her
not, and casting look Of fscorn upon her veil
ed, face and coarse wardrobe, bade her be-
gone ?o She entered the countTy-here she
met with derision and sorn. a few kind
hearted people, it is true bestowed and but
these were Of the poorer class, who had hard
work to procure their own daily bread but
thew could not turn fellow creature hungry
from their door, and therefore gives small
pittance from their scanty store.
One summers day large company met
on---Reach. They were mostly from
the city. The disgusted heiress, from some
cause or other, had wandered here she ASK !,

about and was walking sadly, when well,

catching hold of her arm, thus spoke
.sstayl my good woman-tell me what

As the speaker ceased the mask dropped
from the face of the female, and the beautiful
heiress was portrayed before the astonished
gentleman.
That they were afterwards married, the
reader has already imagined, for the heiress
used this means for producing a worthy hus-

The happy husband is often herd to say

DANIEL WEBSTER IN CoLLEGE.-Prof. San
born, of Darmouth College, in a eulogy OF
Daniel Webster, recently delivered before the
Studentsof Philips Academy, Andover Mass,
thus disposes of "a story which has long pass
ed current of Mr.. Webster's tearing up his d.
ploma, at the time Of graduating, in conse
quence of resentment against the college fac
ulty:
at has been commonly reported that
great injustice was done Mr.. Webster in the
assignment of College honors. The facts are
these at the time of his graduation, the
Latin Salutatory was regarded, by the Facul-
ty, as the first appointment In the words Of
one of his classmates, who was afterwards a
College officer, the Faculty thought it would
be rather barbarous to set the best English
scholar, in the class TO jabber in Latin" $50
they assigned him the second part" to-wit
an Grafton on the Fine Arts, or a Poem
With this appointment Mr.. Webster and his
class were not well pleased. The bitter rival
ry between the two Literary Societies, gave
rise to this dissatisfaction The causes which
led to this state of feeling, cannot stay to ex-
anime. 1t has beet said that Mr.. Webster in
consequence of his dislike of his appointment
tore up his diploma. So far as | can learn,
there is not a shadow of evidencefor the as
sertion. The oldest inhabitants ofthe village
the officers of the College, the classmates d
Mr.. Webster, are all ignorant of the alleged
fact. They never heard Of the report till
years after the tradgedy was said to been en-
enacted cannot for moment SUPPOSE that
a voting gentleman of Mr.. Webster's well,
know gravity and dignity Of character would
allow himself even under strong excitement
to commit such an unscholarly act and bis
modest estimate of his own abilities, as abun.
dainty appears from his own letters at that Pc
riod, forbids the stpposition that he did it in
spirit of vain boasting."
