DIDN'r Know HER SEX.-A few nights since
the house ot prominent resident OF New York
was entered by a burglar, and some valuable
iewelry aud other property stolen aud carried
away But before leaving the house, IT appears
that Gc pTd a visit 10 almost every apart.
ment nit Traces of him were found above
aud below >tairs-whcrcvcr, indeed. II was
probable that vauables could be- obtained. Ii
so hapI ened that one member OF the family
belonged u that much abused and very excel
lent class OF society called ''old maids. She
Is tree hearted, generous lady, intelligent and
refined, aud the only fear that her we'll balGnc.
ed mind has ever known, is the apprehension
that in some evil hour Satan will lure her al
ieCtiOnS IN TO the keeping OF that abominati0n
OF her mind. man. Now, whether the burg.
lar knew this pCcUllarty OF the lady's mind or
NOT, he, at all events, determined to nay her a
very practical joke. To this eud he carefully
removed from the chair on which she had
neatly folded and laid it, all her wearing ap
parel, aud substituted from another room I
complete suit of gentlemen clothes. Then
taking of Il huge pair OF false whiSkerS, he
clre!Uly adjusted them TO the face OF the
slecpuS lady. OF course he could not wait to
see the denouement, but that pleasure was re.
served Tor the family the next morning.
Awakening at an early hour, the lady proceed
to the mirror to enjoy look at her face. The
first glance pctritied her with horror. Was
she indeed man The latest superstition
OF her nature reviving, she imagined that
Satan had been playing her a horrible re-
venge for her auimOslty to the male creation.
She staggered to a chair; and almost broken
hearted concluded to dress and send for bar.
Der. But now, she noticed for the first time
that her clothes were gone, aad q gentleman 5
outfit vas substituted In their stead. She was
certain now that the metamorphoSc was com
pctc, and reSigning herself to the situa-
ton tried to don the apparel But having no
experience in the adjustment of this new
tangled apparel, and habit being stronger than
instinct, she found that every time she put the
pantaloOns over her head, she encountered an
impediment that dehed all:hcr efforts to over
come. la short pants would not go over her
head At last, in despair. she rang for assist
auce, and her maid appearing at the door, she
cried out:
Don't come in Betty, for am n man, now;
but Just please step and ask my brother ii he
usually puts his breeChes on over his head, or
commences feet foremost
1t is needless to say the message astOnlsh ed
the household. Ii was some time before the
lady would admit to her apartment any oae of
either sex, for fear she might make Mistake;
but finally, one more adventurous tLan the
reStru>hed open the door, and soon convinced
the Sorely troubled maIj that she mad not for
Saken her estate but was yet one of the angels
of the earth.
