The Angel in Diaguiss;
HOW TO CHOOSE A HUSBAND.
A ROMANCE AND YET TRUE STORY.

A beautiful young heiress had become
so disguised with hattering set Of soft
psted, pomatum-haired, moustache-l'p
ned, strongly perfumed suitors for her
hand, that she shut herself from the
fashionable world, turned all her proper
ty into money, deposited it in banks, don
ned cheap wardrobe, put on 3 mask,
and went, pedestrian like, through the
city in whicl, she had hitherto moved
with so much display and mag"i6cence:
She asked aims Of those who of late had
kne!t at her feet and sued for her hand.
They knew her not and casting look
of scorn upon ber yelled face aud coarse
wardrobe, bade her begone. She enter
ed the country-here she met with DE-
rision 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 own daily bread !;
but they could not :urn fellow creature
hungry from their door, and therefore
gave small pitlance from their scsnty
store.
One summer day, a large company
met on beach. They were mostly
from the city. The disguised heiress

from some cause or other had wandered
there. She asked aims of some termed
upper 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 it SERVED her
right" The begRar woman turned about
and was walking away, when a good
looking gentleman stepped forward, and
catching hold of her arm. thus spoke:
"stay my good ~omsn-teIl 'ee what
you want
She replied ina low trembling tone,
II want a sixpence-onIy asixpence."
Yon shal! have ten times that sum.
Here" he added, drawing from his pock
ct a" eagle, and placed it in the gloved
hand Of the woman, take this, and ift
il not enough, l will give You another
The heiress returned the eagle, ex>
claiming, II want a sixpence-only =
sixpence." Seeing that she could not
be made to take the coin, the gentleman
drew forth sixpence and gave it to the
strange being beside him, who, after
thanking the generous donor, walked
slowly away. After being laughed at
for SO doing by his comrades, he set out
j" pursuit Of the beggar woman, saying.
perhaps she is an heiress-or an angel
in disguise-I mean to ascertain"
Not that he thought this. He wished
to show his indifference to what his com>
rades said, besides satisfying himself
about tie strange female whom be had
aided. He soon overlook her, and ad>
dressed her thus: "Pardon me, madam,
for pursuing you. would know more
about you.'
Asthe speaker ceased, ,-tbe mask drop
ned 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 Of procuring a
worthy husband, and the generous gem
tleman had long been looking for IAN
angel in disguise"
The happy husband is often heard to
say that he got an ''heiress for six~
pence."-Portland lNe) Tranicript.

A Slight Mistake.

The best Of US are liable to mistakes
We all know that Deacon Jones, after
having indulged too freely at the COM
mmion table, went home late, and in
the night chewed up Mrs. Jores' night
caps, which were in the starch, mistak-
ing them for tripe or macaroni, and de-
Glazing them to be very tough.
A slight mistake, from similar cause
occurred in Washington street the other
evening, at the store Of cheap book
and fancy article dealer.
Il was late and the store was closed,
but the show articles in the window we're
revealed by the street gas light. Prom
inent among them peered out the smiI-
ing face Of Mrs. Farren's picture, and an
exceedingly disguised individual happen
ed b get glimpse at it and ha|ted.-
He m;stook it fer living ponsan. the
haIfshutters concealing all below the
bus:, and confirming his idea that real
flesh and blood waman was there and no
mistake.
The smile was so inviting that he
thought it meant something, SO he put
his rnddy visage close to the pane and
NODDED at her. She still smiled.
''Ps.ty creatur Z" muttered the tight one
to himself; take (hic) fancy to me :"
and ,nvoluntar;ly be gave more know
ing cock to his hat, and winked at the
face, as if t. show that he was "up to
trap" and ready for any thing.
Nobody else inside" he continued,

Imported Wines.

Cette Is 4 great manufacturing place,
and what they manufacture there IS
neither cotton nor wool, Perigord pies
nor Rheims biscuits, but wine. "Ici, ,"
will Cette industrial write with the
greatest cvolness over his door "Ici on
fabrique des vins." All the wines in the
world indeed are made 10 Cette. You
have only to give an order for johannis.
burg or t"kay, sherry, port madeira; nay
for all know, for the falernian Of the
Romans or the nectar of the gods, and
the Cette manufacturer will promptly
supply you. They are great chemists,
these gentlemen, and have brought the
art Of adulteration to perfection. But
tho great trade Of the place consists not
20 much 10 the adulteration Of wine -
in the concoct;ng Of it. Cetts i we'll sie
uated :or this manufacture.
The wines Of Southern Spain are by
coasters brought from Barcelona and
Valencia. The inferior Bordeaux growths
come pouring from Garonne BY the Ca
nal du Midi; and the fiery Rhone wines
are floated along the chain Of etangs ard
canals from Beaucaire. With ali these
raw materials, and, Of course, a chemical
laboratory to boot, it would be hard It
the clever folks Of Cette could not turn
out very good imitation Of any wine
in demand. They will doctor you up
Bordeaux with violet powders and rough
cider, color it with cochineal, and out
swear creation that it is precious Cha
teau Margaux--vintage Of '25. Cham
pagne, Of course they make BY the hogs
heads. Do you wish sweet wines from
Italy and the Levant? The people will
mingle old Rhone wines with boiled
sweet wines from the neigbborhood Of
Lunel, and charge you any price per bot
tie. Port, sherry. and madeirs, Of course,
are fabricated in abundance with any
sort Of bad, cheap wine and brandy for
q stock, and with concoctioas in drug
gists shop for seasoning. e.
Cette, in fact. is the very capital and
emporium of the tricks and deceptions
Of the wine trade, and it supplies almost
all the Brazils and great portion Of the
Northern European nations with their
after dinner drinks. The old French
West India Colonies also patronize their
ingenious countrymen Of Cette; and
Russian magnates drir < chambertin and
romantee e, made Of low Rbone and low
Burgundy brewages, favored by the
contents Of the graduated vial.

SUGAR M1LlEr, or SoReHux.-We
are informed that the new species Of
Chinese sugar cane has been cultivated
with extraordinary success the past sea-
son, in Wabash county, Illinois. One
gentleman, from package Of seed Of the
small size usually sent out from the
Patient Office grew sufficient to make
forty gallons Of molasses which were
every way equal to the Louisiana pro-
duct. OF course the mill for grinding
the cane and the mode Of boiling the
juice were on an imperfect scale, while
the mode of could have been little moss
than an experiment being The fss seasoa
in which ANYTHING Of the kisd Ne ~
tempted. Yet 20 succeasfal has / proven
that We learn NJ. Baker of that county
is preparing TO g into its culture and
manufacture, % ! large scale. If the
prices Of sugar were 10 continue ~ high
as they are at present, as they must un'
less great changes take place in the sugar
growing countries, We see no reason to
prevent fortunes from being made At this
business here in Southern Indiana and
Illinois. 1t would be we'll for our farmers
to divide their lands and attention BE-
tween more crops. Grain and pork
pay very we'll when the "season" and the
markets "hit" just right-but there is
great risk IN both. II, however, this new
variety of sugar, which promises 90
much, should fulfill only one-half that
is claimed for it, it will prove source
of immense profit to our country. 1t
will keep at home many millions Of dol
lars now carried out Of the country to
pay for sugar made abroad.-N'neesne

Among the wounded on his couch,
The Highland soldier lay,
And from his wounds the tide of life

When DER him bent gentle form,
To hear his dying tale
Twas that angel of the Hospital,
Fair Florence Nightingale.
"Ak! me-" he cr.ed-thst soldier stern

So far, 80 very far away,
While am dying here.

For He who rules on high,

The Orphans kindest friend.
"And hap|y, soldier, we may yet.

Like dew upon the bruised reed

No impulse gains from art.
And soldier say-what thoughts arise

The soldier turned upon his couch
And, checked by manly tears,
He answered, words are weak to tell;
Her shadow seems like light,
And kiss it as she walks the ward
To cheer the sick by nightw

Observation-Disclosures we turn we
find Industry. Men of all classes are
hard at work. That's it, workmen,
keep moving, for by your hands you
not only feed and clothe yourself with
plenty and comfort, but you move the
world. Every time your strong arm,
perhaps blackoned with smoke and
dust, is lifted to strike the iron or the
wood, you strike not alone for yourself,
but for your children, your neighbors,
and for those who will do you honor
when your arm can no longer move,
and the instrument of your toll lies
still.
