The Disguised Heiress.

Miss Vernon sat at her window,
plunged in deep thought. She was an
heiress, prepossessing in appearance,
and as natural, had suitors in plenty.
Among them she made choice of Will
liam Winsor, and in few weeks they
were to be married.
William was engaged in the whole
sale clothing business, and hadthe rep
utation ola sharp and active man of
business. Nothing to his prejudice
had come to the ears of Miss Vernon
until the day before. A poor wo-
man came to the door evident power
ty and asked for relief. On being
questioned, she SAID she had been en-
ployed in making shirts at twelve
cents apiece for wholesale dealers !;
that after making dozen and carry
ing them to the store she had been
roughly told that they were spoiled,
and that nothing would be paid for
her work, and that she might have
some more if she would agree to do
them better. She added that this was
one of the small ways in which the
firm made money out ofpoor women
by pretending that the work was I'M
satisfactorily done, when in reality no
fault could reasonably be found with
it.
'Only dollar and forty cents for a
weeks work !" exclaimed Miss Vernon
in dismay.
"That's all" said the poor woman.
"How, then, do you live 2"

Il think so"
"At any rate, we will try you"
A half a dozen shirts were given to
Miss Vernon, and she was informed
that if satisfactorily done, she would
be paid ten cents apiece. These she
carried home, slipping in at the back
door.
Two hours latter the poor woman
called. ... .r.....
"Here are some shirts for you to
make" said Miss Vernon.
"Why they are the same kind l
have been making said the woman,
in surprise.
"That is true, and they came from
the same place"
cam to take them back there?'
"No you will bring them here. l
will pay for the work, when it is done,
double the price you have been re-
ceiving."
"Thank you miss, you are very
kind
"Sew them neatly as possible. |
wish to see whether they will be re
jected as poor work.
Eyes, Miss Vernon / will take pains
with them"
Three days later the poor woman
returned with the work completed.
Miss Vernon paid for them and re-
quested her to call again the next
day.
Nancy said the heiress after the
woman had departed, 81 wish to Dor
row those old clothes again
"Certainly, MISS" said Nancy, Elf
it is not ashamed you are to appear in
such rags
"No one will know me Nancy"
"Sure, miss, you can take them
whenever you like"
81 don't think I shall need them
again Nancy but thank you all the
same"
Not long afterwards, Miss Vernon,
in her shabby disguise, entered the
establishment of William Winsor, with
the bundle of shirts under her arm.
She went to the counter and laid them
down.
"What have you got there?" de-
manded pert young clerk.
Some work, sir" said Miss Vernon,
humbly.
"Well, why don't you open the
bundle ?" said the young man picking
his teeth with his knife.
Miss Vernon did so.
The young man deigned to tumble
over the shirts, glancing at them care
lessly.
shocking shocking!' he said.

"They are wretchedly sewed. That's
what's the matter. How do you ex-
pect we are going to sell such shirts as
these 2"
81 am sure l thought they were

"You thought, did you q said the
clerk, hooking her. Well, / think
differently, and that's all about it.
We shan't pay you for these shirts.
They will have to be sold at loss
"But what shall l do said Miss
Vernon, in seeming distress.
That's your business, not mine.
We will try you once more, and give
you a another halfdozen shirts. If
they are done better you will be paid
for Them ..
To the indignation Of the clerk,
who was not used to such indepen-
dence in the poor woman who worked
for the establishment, Miss Vernon
took the shirts to another part Of the
counter, where she saw William Win
p, sor himself. ---..,.. -.......
"Mr. Winsor," she said, Disgusting
her voice as much as possible, "your
clerk will not pay me for making
these shirts he says they are not

Mr.. Winsor took up one and. pre-
tended to examine it.
"No, it is poorly done. We can't
pay you for these, but you may have
another bundle, and if they are salts

"Didnt I tell you So" said the
clerk triumphantly. 'Now how
much did youmake by the operation ?"
"More than you think, perhaps"

should get absolutely nothing. The proposed
treaty does not afford even the pretense Of
reciprocity, so far as this section is con-
cerned. 1t is all give and no take with us.
Without the lumber trade. there would be no
prosperity for any kind Of business in this
section; even real estate would depreciate
in value. or at the least would cease to appre-
ciate. The loss would therefore be common
to the whole community. and everybody is
interested in defeating the scheme.
We believe this can be done if the proper
effort is made. There is no real benefit in
the treaty to the country at large, and it will
not be urged generally after the people come
to understand it. Canadian influence will
of course do what it can 10 secure market
for its lumber, and interested parties in this
country will aid in this effort. But those Of
our own people who will be benefited by the
treaty are by no means equal in numbers and
influence to those who will be directly and
seriously damaged by it. If the latter ex-
ert the energy displayed heretofore BY the
other class, the treaty may finally be killed.
1t is important that the meeting on Tuesday
should be well at,t nded, SO tina: its voice may
have weight with the powers that be. 1t is
a matter of dollars and cents with the peo-
pie hereabouts, and it cannot safely be neg

CROCODILE TEARS.

The annual dinner of the Golden Club,
at Greenwich, afforded the British Free
Traders an opportunity to set forth in af-
ter-dinner speeches the beauties of Free
Trade, and to lament the obtuseness of
those governments who do not accept it as
their policy. The government of the
United States came in for large share OF
regrets from the speakers. They seemed
to yearn with the tenderest compassion
for us. They acknowledged that we have
marvellous country, great in resources,
growing like magic, but all this is moth
ing because we won't have Free Trade in
other words, we won't bring the laborers
OF this country down to the level OF the
pauper labor of England.
But the most surprising gush of tears
from these speakers came from the Right
Hon. E. W. Baxter, NJ. p, the Chairman
of the meeting. He mourned the decay
of American shipping. Alas, 'said he,
''the fiscal legislation of the United States
sis all wrong, and has done more than
"anything else to injure, almost to destroy,
american ship-building, and to drive the
star-spangled banner from the seas"
Knowing that British cruisers built by
the British Free Traders and sailing under
the Confederate flag took an active inter-
est in our shipping during the rebel
lion. sending some to the bottom and
causing some to seek safety by change
OF flags, we are prepared to appreciate at
its proper worth the lamen,ation Of the
honorable gentlemen at the decay of our
shipping. There is no fear we think that
Americans will be mistaken in this matter.
American shipbuilders know who have
been their friends and who their enemies
According to this British club the rene
dy for our shipping affairs is to accept the
Reciprocity treaty, giving our neighbors
over the border the privilege OF building
our ships while we close all our shpyards.
That is what the Canadians desire us to do
And that is precisely what the convention
which nominated JOSEPH TIrCOAlB re-
solved to do.
The republican party takes no counsel
from those who set pirates AL rat to
destroy our commerce. but it regards the
interest of our own people. endorsing no
treaties that will cramp their energies or
give their privileges into the hands of for
eigners.
