The elegant Miss Mason, whose father
had made splendid fortune as an enter
prising draper and tailor, appeared at a mag
nifcient entertainment in royal apparel
With the fastidious exclusiveness for when
the latest corners into fashionable circles
sre the most remarkable, she refused varI-
Gus offers of introduction, as she did not

The beautiful Miss Taylor. radiant with
GOOD natured smiles, and once well acqualn-
ted with Miss Mason when they went to the
public school in William street together
noticed the hauteur of her ancient TREND
who was determined not to recognize one
who would only remind her of her former
low estate. But Miss Taylor, the rogue
a. clever as she was pretty. determined to
bring her up with short turn, and not
submit to being snubbed by one whose an

her own. Watching her chance when me
naughty young lady was in the midst OF hel

of winning sweetness remarked

Because my name is Taylor and m,

There was a scene then, but there wa

How TO SELECT FLoUR-l. Look at its
color; if it is white, with slightly yellow
ish or straw -colored tint, it is good sign. If
it is very white, with blush cast, or with
black specks in it, the -four is not good. 2
Examine its adhesiveness; wet and knead a
little of it betwe n the fingers, if it works
dry and elastic it Is good; if it works soft
and sticky, it is poor. Flour made from
spring wheat is likely to be >tcky. 3.
Throw little lump of dry flour against a
dry, smo~ tn, perpendicular surface; if it falls
like powder, it is bad. 4. Squeeze some of
the -four in your hand; if it retains the
shape given it by the pressure, that too
is a good sign. Flour that will stand all
these tests it is safe to buy. These modes
were given 10y Old flour dealers and we
make no apology for publishing them, as
they pertain to a matter that concerns every
body, namely, the quality of that what i.

ASTONISHING FACTs.-Somem mathematical
genus, (whose name unfortunately does not
appear,) after a laborious research, has just
demonstrated the following facts:
The cost of washing linen, that might
have been worn one day longer just as well,
amounts to enough in this country, to
defray the expenses of the American board
of foreign missions.
The expense of buttons worn on the backs
of our coats, where they are of no earthly
use, is equal to the support of all our orphan
asylums!
The value of tails to dress coats, (of no
value, in reality, for warmth or convenience
is actually greater than the salary fol
common schools!
