A Test of Affection.

4 certain young lady, possessing more
than ordinary accomplishments for her
class of life being the daughter OF poor
but respectable parents-on the death Of
a wealthy relative, recently, became enti-
tied to $4,000. When the glad tidings
reached the ears of her neighbors, many
warm admirers fiocked around the hither
to neglected beauty, and there was no end
to the oyertures OF love. Previous to the
turn of fortunes wheel, a young man of
humble pretensions had been the young
lady's only sutton, but the knowledge Of
her wealth at once placed formidable
barrier in his way, and he cOntented him
self with being a silent worshiper at
distance. Matters ultimately came to
crisis, and, in order to test the affections
of her deyotees, the young lady caused a
report to be circulated that the supposed
fortune was, in reality, only sham, the
mistake having occurred through SINH
Iarity of name. The intelligence had
the effect of causing the visits of the
lovers TO become less frequent, and finally
cease altogether. The humble youth re-
joiced at the change, and at once took
the opportunity to console the mistress OF
lis heart, who, to the surprise of all, re-
warded his sincerity with her hand, and
made him sole master Of the $1,000
