A WIFE FOR A SIXPENCE.

A beautiful young heiress had become so
disgusted with fat,ering set Of soft-pated,
pomatum haired, mustache-lippcd, strongly
pcrfumed suitors for her hand, that she shut
herself from the fashionable world, turned
all her property into money, deposited it all
in banks, donned cheap wardrobe, put on
q mask, and went, pedestrian.like, through
the city in which she had hitherto moved
with so much display and magnifcence.-
She asked aims of those who of late had
knet at her feet and sued for her hand.--
They knew her not, and casting o look OF
scorn upon her yelled face and coarse ward
robe, bade her begone She entered the
coun,ry-here she met with derisison and
scorn. A few kind.hearted people, it is
true, bestowed aid; but these were of the
poorer class, who had hard work to procure
their daily bread; but they could not turn
fellow creature hungry from their door,
and therefore give q small pittance from
their scanty store.
One summers day, large company met
on - Beach. They were mostly from
the city. The disguised heircss, from some
cause or other, had wandered there. She
asked aims of one or two termed "uppe,
tens" They spoke tauntingly, but gave
nothing. What they said had been heard
by quite number of their company. Most
of them laughed, or looked as if they thought
"served her right." The beggar woman
turned about, and was walking sadly away
when good looking gentleman stepped for
ward, and catching hold Of her arm, thu:
spoke:
"stay, my good woman-tell me what
you want"
She replied in low trembling tone, e.
want sixpence-only sixpcnce."
"You shall have ten times that sum-
Here" he added, drawing from his pocke
an eagle and placing it in the gloved hant
of the woman, "take this, and if it is no
enough, | will give you another"
The heircss returned the eagle, exclaim
ing, 81 want sixpence, sir-only six
pence!"
Seeing that she could not be made to tak'
the coin, the gentleman drew forth six
pence and gave it 10 the strange being be
side him, who, after thanking the generous
donor, walked slowly away. After being
Laughed at for 50 doing by bis comrades, b

set out in pursuit of the beggar woman, say,
ing: "Perhaps she is an heiress, or an angel
in disguise. mean to ascertain"
Not that he thought this, but that he
wished to show his indifference to what his
comrades said, besides satisfying himself
about the strange female he had aided. He
soon overlook her, and addressed her thus !:
"Pardon me- madam, for pursuing you.
would know more about you"
As the speaker ceased, the mask dropped
from the face of the female, and the beau
tiful heiress was portrayed before the aston
ished gentleman.
That they were afterwards married, the
reader has already imagined, for the heiress
used this means Of procuring q worthy hus.
band, and the generous gentleman had long
been looking for "an angel in disguise"
The happy husband is often heard to say
that he got IN "heiress for sixpence."

With such q god like brow;
They speak of wealth and station
'Tis all in vain to me;
For while they talk Of others,

They tell me time is fleeting,
And youth will soon be o'er;
They bid me seize the present,
And muse the past no more;
They point to me The future

And life can meier be lonely

A NEW CEET.-Everybody will be glad
to learn that a new cent is to be coined.
The old copper head, which has so long rep
resented the smallest fractional division of
our decimal money in use, is too cumbrous
and large for the little value it represents,
and the substitution for it of q new coin,
readily distinguishable from all others in
circulation, will be considered by all great
improvement. 1t is, therefore, proposed by
the Director of the Mint, that the new cent
shall be eighty.eight parts copper and
twelve parts nickle. This will make coin
of dark reddish color. 1t is to weigh 72
grains, less than half the present cent, which
is l6S grsins.-Phil. Sun.

TRYING TO THE BAsrE.-A Hibernian,
fresh from the Green Isle, having sufficient
means to provide himself with horse and
cart, (the latter kind he rrobably had not
seen bcfore,) went to work on public road.
Being directed by the overseer to move q
pile of stones near by, and deposit them in
u gully at the side Of the road, he forthwith
loaded his cart, drove up to the place, and
had nearly finished throwing out his load
"by hand" when the "boss'' told him that
was not the way; but must tilt or dump
his load all at once.
Paddy replied that he would know 'betth-
cr" next time.
After loading again, he drove to the side
of the clqsm. put his shoulder under the hub
of the wheel, upset cart, horse, and all into
the gully. Scratching his head, and looking
doubtfully at his struggling horse below
him, he observed that it was q mighty ex.
peditious way, but, begora, it must be very
trying to the baste."

FEW SHORT YEARs-AND THEN
A few short years-and then
The dream of life will be
Like shadows OF q morning cloud,
In its reality!
A few short years-and then
The idols loved the best
Will pass in ali their pride away,
As sinks the sun to rest!
A few short years-and then
Our young hearts may be reft
OF every hope. and find no CLEAN
Of ehildhood's sunshine left!
A few short years-and then
Impatient Of its bliss,
The weary soul shall seek on high
A better home than this!

THE TRAFFIC IN CIRCAssIAN WOMEN.

There has lately been m unusually large mum.
ber of Crcassians going about the streets OF
Canstantlnople. Many of them. no doubt, be.
longed to the depulation which came to petition
the Porte that their country might be taken un.
der the suzerainty of the Sultan. A considerable
portion, however of the Circassians now in the
capital. have quite another mission than politi.
cal one to fulfil. They arc here as slave dealers,
charged with the disposal Of the numerous par
GELS of Circassians girls that have been for some
tim. pouring into this market. Perceiving that
when the Russians shall have reoccupied the
coast Of Caucasus this traffic in white slaves will
he over. the Circassian dealers have redoubled
their efforta ever since the commencement OF
the peace conferences TO Introduce in Turkey the
greatest possible number of women while the
opportunity Of doing 40 lasted. They have
been an successful. Notwithstanding the prohi.
tion Of the trade hv the Porte, and the presence
Of so MANY Of her Majestv's ships in the Black
Sen, that, never. perhaps. Mt anv former period,

sure of being bought into good family. where
not only good treatment, but often rank and
fortune awaited her; bat at the present low
rates she may he taken by any hux'er, who uev-

The ErD OF Mn. BusLINeAME.-The Boston
Times says Of the valorous gentleman who has
q fancy for the "cool and bealthful' region OF
Niagara:

all the efforts of his friends and all the efforts OF
his future life may moi be sufficiently strong fol

we thought it would do him any good, we would
pray for him-but as it is, we will endeayor to
obtain the services Of some rife clergyman to

The Jersey City Telegraph, heretofore
neutral paper, hoists the flag of Buchanan
and Breckenridge, and thus announces tn,
fact:
awe hoist ct our masthead the white
folks ticket. On it are emblazed the names
of statesmen who are before the whole
American people for their sufrages to pre-
side over the destinies of this whole nation.
That James Buchanan, the first of American
statesmen, will be elected to the most i'm.
portant office in the world, no one who is OF
sound mind, we think, will doubt for mo-
ment. But if on the other hand, there was
the least prospect of defeating him and elect
ing sectional or halfway individual in his
stead, all true patriots would despair of this
glorious Republic"

And dreamy sights upheaved her snowy hreast,
While STA rbeams. hro' her windows softly creeping,
Stole to her couch and trembling there stood peeplng
1t was as we said, about midnight when
the young lady was reused from her delici-
GUS slumber by hearing a noise at the win
dow. Half unclosing her eyes, she was
startled by the sight Of corpulent form,
apparently struggling to gain admission to
her chamber through the open window. 1t
struck her at once that the intruder had
been caught by the rear Of his unrnention-
