PAY YOUR WAsHERWoMAN.-Aw washer
woman living on Lake street dunned fast
young man for his wash bill yesterday, as he
passed her door with u lady on his arm. He
pretended to deny his identity, but it was no
go: the old lady produced one of his shirts,
on which was written plainly enough his
name. Overcome with modification and
shame, he could conceal his real character
no longer, but broke out in a datribe of
abuse and low epithets against his wash
woman, which SO disguised the young lady
that she left him and returned to her home,
thanking heaven that she had had an oppor-
tunity Of finding him out, as she had some
time suspected that he was not what he
really seemed. He paid the bill at last, and
then went in search OF the lady, but she, hav-
in retired to her room, cooliy sent down
word that she did not want to see him, and
hoped he would not call there again.'-
