Y ti’re an heiress, ni and you are tolerably good looking, and have a way tiiat people like, and thcr((oi>: tin world puts its best fuel forward, so far ' as you are concerned. If you were Sir* Sikes, the washerw man, or 11. t!y, the orangewoman, you’d see quite a different aspect of things.’ “Nonsense, uncle,’ said lloralia, still unconvinced. “Bea gen and dailing old Uncle Peleg, and let me have the Trv plu: tie Ggrcmde sttawben ics in vonr south garden border for my rtfreshment table. Kemeuiber I’m to sell slrawbcr ries and cream, and I want my table t ! look the best in the room.’ “Who do you suppose will buy your strawberries, at the outlandish price you’ll put iq on them?" he deman led, sotlrly. “Everybody, ’Horatio answered, sail - ci'y, ‘Come, Undo Peleg, lie generous aid graceful, and say I sliall liavo tlicrn. Uncle l’clrg took Hiinfl'. “On one condition you can have them!’ Horalia clapped iicr white rosy hands. ‘And that ‘Just wait until yon hear,’ said the old man dryly. 'You can’t have my tifly quarts of Triomphe dc Grand strawberries, each one as big as a pid geon’s egg until you have first sold a dozen quarts from door to door.’ Horalia opened her brown, wonder ing eyes like twin wells of hazel light. ‘I. Uncle Pe'eg?’ ‘Yon, nice Ilora ia! And I am to specify the houses where you are to go.’ •It will be fun’ cried Iloratia with a gay laugh, I’d just as soon do it as not.’ ‘Perhaps it will he fun, perhaps it won’t,’said Unde Peleg. At all events, 1 wantyou to get one glimpse, at least, through a strawberry woman’ eyes. ‘And I am to be disguised, Uncle Peleg?” ‘To be sure you are. Miss Horalia Mere would have no difficulty in dispo sing of her wares; a friendless strawber ry girl is different.’ ‘AH the moro delightful—a regular tableau virnntV cried Iloratia. merrily. ‘Well, uncle, where am I to go?’ ‘l'll write down a list of names for you, that shall be culled out of your dearest friends—Mrs. Montague, Mrs Dysart, Miss Ferrars and the like.’ ‘They will all buy!’ Cried Iloratia. ‘We’ll see,’ Uncle Peleg said, ‘Are you willing to buy the Triomphe dc Grande at such a price as this, Ilora tia?’ ‘At any price,’ the girl answered gleefully. ‘Yotr don’t know how disagreeable you mav find it.’ ‘lt will be a perfect adventure!’ said Iloratia recklessly. ‘But mind, you arc to keep it a se cret.’ ‘As the grave,’ his mischievous niece answeree, with mock solemnity. Miss Iloratia Mere would scarcely have been recognized by her nearest . friends, when she was dressed for the i curious part she was to play 'for one day only’ as she declared. A calico dress; thick boots, in which, her tiny feet felt unwontedly clumsy, a much worn water-proof cloak, borrowed from Mary Ann, the cook, and a wors ted hood, enveloped in a faded black vail, and a basket hanging over her arm—these were the details of the cos tume. ‘Sirawbcr-n'es! she cried, raising her sweet voice to ‘O, aqove.’ ‘Oh, Uncle Peleg, it will be such a joke.’ And she tripped away, delighted at the prospect ot playing at the realities of life. Uncle Peleg looked after her rather doubtfully, as he resorted mechanically to bis unfailing panacea fi r all tinman ills or perplexities, the snuff box. • ‘l’m almost sorry 1 sent her on such C , ' 3 C an unpalatable errand,’ he said to him - self; bat it’s just ns well she should i learn to see the world as it really is i Her life has been all coid cur da rose, and no wonder. The etiawberries will be a dear bargain alter all!’ M bile these eccentric reflections were j passing through the old man’s brain, lloratia Mere had already reached the i lirst house on her list, inhabited by Mrs. j Montague, a lady who had always pro : leased the sweetest and most saint like character, whose voice was soft and low, and who spoke in s ; x syllaboled words of Websterian elegance. Mrs Montague herself was in the hull as lloratia rang the door bell. ‘lf yo please u a’um,’ said Bridget!, it’s a girrel selliu strawberries—will we buy a quart?’ ‘Strawberries iudeed! and at the up per door!’shriliy cried Mrs Montague, in voice that for an instant almost compelled lloratia to doubt the lady’s identity. ‘Don’t you know- better, girl, than to bring your trumpery wares to the front door? What do you s’pose basement bells were made for? Clear out, this minute! What are you stan ding thei-ydi? Dos’t you hear what 1 say?’ And she took hold of Iloratia's arm and assisted her progress with a vigor I ous push. -Mrs. Dysnrt came next—an elegant widow with an ivory pure complexion ; curls like (he tendrils of a grape vine, whoso obstinate rings she was always lamenting. This time our heroine knew better than to go to the front steps and and made her way meekly to the area bell. _ “Strawberries, in [it ?’ said the little | girl who came to the door.- “I'll ask the j missis!’ | Mrs. Dysai t herself presently came to | the door, and lloratia .startled to see the I marvelous dissimilarity between Mrs. | Dysnrt at home, lk r skin was sallow, i wrinkled and blotched, Imre and there, I from the two fw qaent use of powerful cosmetics her hair was screwed up into little papillotc-s secured by pin* making a perfect chevcnx do frisc of her head ; her beautiful figure was lathy and straight like a pump draped in calico ! ‘Strawberries! of ourso not, at this season of Ihe year,’ said Mrs. Dysart snappishly. "I’m not made of money 1” And bile slammed the door in Iloratia’s face. ‘Miss Ferrara will buy them at all events,’said lloratia to herself. ‘Lncilo, was always noble hearted and gener ous.’ ‘llnw much aro they?' said the fair Lucille, coming to the head of the base - ment stairs, in a oishabille of greasy cashmere and a soiled white apron. ‘Eighteen cents a basket.’ ‘Pshaw!’ said Lucille, .superciliously. ‘As if 1 was going to pay you such a price as that! I’ll give you ten!’ I ‘They aro unusually line,’ said lloratia | timidly. ‘1 shan’t give a cent over eleven I’ lloratia turned away. • 1 wonder y >n fruit girls have the face to ask such a price!’ said Mi. s Lucille Fcrrars, fingering her purse strings ‘Twelve, tilcro —and that'.-; more than they’re are worth!’ ‘1 cannot null them under the price I have named,’ persisted lloratia, shrink ing from the sharp glittering eyes. ‘Go about your business then!’ said Lucillic. ‘l’ll see the whole tribe ol you starvebelore I’ll' be imposed upon sc!’ lloratia felt herself disinebanted. Could it be possible that this shrew-dish miser was her soft voiced friend Lucille Far rars? ‘Perhaps Unde Puleg’s views of hu man nature may not be so very much a miss after all,’ she said with a half sigh, after she made some half dozen or more pilgrimages and more than half of her berries rpmafned unsold. Miss Parker’s house was tiie last on her list, lloratia had let it remain until all the other places had been visited, she herself could hardly have told wiiy—per- haps because Justus Parker had been her partner iu tho ‘German’ the night be sure. She liked Justus Parker—yet she sometimes distrusted his gentle nice and smooth manner. ‘I am afraid it is all 'put on,’ she said to herself. But uncle Peleg was deter mined I should go there and I will not shrink, now the ordeal is so nearly over.’ The servant requested her to go up and see the young lady herself—she’s in her own room mostly.’ Iloratia had heard of Laura Parker’s lingering spine disease, although she had never seen her. And her heart beat slightly as she ascended the softly car peted flight of stairs carrying her basket of berries. •Justus was sitting on a low chair be side his sister’s sofa at the further end of the room; he arose and came forward as the stranger entered. ‘This basket is too heavy for you to carry,’he said taking it from her arm and moving forward a seat, with a sort of unconcious chivalry. ‘lt is not so heavy as it seems,’ she said, somewhat bitterly,‘and if it were, I am nothing but a strawberry woman.’ ‘But I suppose a strawberry woman has feelings and sensation like other peo ple,’said Justus Parker, smiling. ‘Sit down a moment, while my sister looks at your fruit.’ ‘You must Lc very warm, said Laura Parker gently. ‘Lay back your veil. Justus, please ring for a glass of wa ter.’ Iloratia accepted the water but refus ed to unfold her veil. It was altogether too good a medium fur her to observe the quiet tenderness with which Justus , Parker treated his invalid sister—the ' open Bible on the tabic, the fresh flowers : by the sofa, all mute tokens of thought ful love and care. Miss Parker bought half a dozen has . kets of the berries without one word of exception to the price. ‘They are the finest I have seen this year!’ she said. ‘You must come again when you have moro ’ Horatia Mere’s cheeks were burning j when she made her escape at last, both HERE SHALL THE PRESS THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, HNA'.VED BY PEAR AND tJIIBRIBED BY GAIN.

Miss lloratia Mere had the handsom est. refreshment table and the best sales of any young lady at the fair, and Jus tus Parker was her favorite customer. The result of the fair, not an uncom mon one if all reports aro hue, was one wedding if not more, lloratia Mere was married to Mr. Parker; but not until nf ter the honeymoon did he know his aris tocratic little bride had sold strawber ries 1 ‘Was it wrong of me?’ she asked wist fully. ‘Under the circumstances, no,’ Mr. Parker answered gravely. *Pk-A merchant came into a printing office a short time since, and seeing a pile of papers laying on the table—it be ing day—unceremoniously helped himself, and said:— “I s’pose you don’t take pay for just one paper?’ “Not always,” was the reply. Shortly after that the printer entered the mer chant's store and called lbr a pound of raisins, which was quickly weighed out to him. The printer took the raisins saying: “I s’pose you don’t charge any thing wheft a fellow don’t take but one pound!” “No,’ said the grocer, after seeing the disadvantage under which lie was placed by bis stingy liberality to ward the printer and said:—“ When 1 get any more newspipcrs from a prin ter I’ll pay for them.” A ITabrowixg Tale.—A farmer in Lynn township employed an Irishman to do some harrowing for him. To the great disgust of Patrick the harrow caught in the roots and stones, and on looking for the cause, he for the first time per ceivcd ‘them botherin spikes’ and he im mediately proceeded to knock them out, observing that ‘he was pretty share ’twould draw azier. ’ When the farmer saw what he had done, he acted in such a very excitable manner, that Pat thought he had better leave.

Power of Kindness —A poor woman used to give an elephant, who often pass ed her stall in the market, a handful of .greens of which he was very fond, One day he was in a great fury and broke a way from his keeper and came raging down the market place. Every one fled and in her haste the market woman for got her little child. But the furious ele phant instead of trampling it to death picked it up tenderly and laid it one side in a place of safely. Do you think sin was sorry she gave him his handful of green a,; he went by? No. Wo never lose by a kind action, no matter to whom it is done. A young fellow in Nashua, New Ilainp shire recently got angry with his sweet heart and for revenge took her to ride and left her on the steps of a country ho tel several miles from home to find her way back as best she could. The girl one evening afterward induced him to drive her to visit a sister, twenty miles distant, and while he v.-ao out of the bug gy endeavoring to decipher the name on a door plate, she drove of? ams left him to go home when he got ready! The fun cost him twenty dollars. A Valuable Watch.— ‘Boys,’ s rid an old Silas, ‘here is a watch that I wonld’nt give for the best cow in Squawvillc,’ at the same time taking from his jacket pocket a hull's eye watch about (he same siza as a small turnip. ‘Last fall, when I was digging potatoes I lost this ere watch and never fontid it until Deacon Daniels brought it to ino ono day last week. The deacon was going to Squaw I ville, and in passing near my potato field j he heard the watch ticking, and followed I the sound for nearly a quarter of a mile,! and finally found fho watch where 1 lost I it six months before; and would you be- • lievc me, gentlemen, tlmt watch never j varied a second in all that time.’ “Man proposes, but God disposes, j said a pious aunt to her over confideri niccc. “Let a man propose to mo if ho dare,” was the response, “ands will dispose of him according to my own views, as he suits me.” “Be you good?'’ asked a bright little chop of Miss Budd, his Sabbath school teacher, the other day. “Oh, no, was the becoming reply. “You ain't.! Well, I knew you was’t pretty; but 1 always thought you was good.’ ‘Wife,’ said a broker a few days i since, ‘do y.m think I shall ever he i worth $50,000?’ ‘Ain’tl worth that lot you?’ said the confiding spouse. ‘Y-e s,’. said the other half; ‘but l can’t pat you : out at interest.’ SSTMen ale like bugles—the more | brass they contain the further you can j hear them.

I saw the sale of a family last week j for debt, while tho husband and father I was in California: and perhaps J cannot do better than to tell yon about it,«*There were five children—three girls and two boys. Wc passed then"three times in our chair during the day as they stood beside the road dressed in their holiday attire of black. The silence they observ ed whenever any person passed and the downcast looks created curiosity on our part to know their business there. Art- Rung (our waiter; was called up and asked the cause of this jittlc parade.’— “Why,” said he, “the girls and perhaps the whole family arc for sale.’ Wo stop ped our chair and stopped out to have a ta k with them, using Art- llong ns an interpreter. The mother was wrinkled and gray, and hung her head as if she were all-aid to look us in the face. But tho children with the exception of the oldest grl looked cheerful and wore quite pleased with their holiday attire.— Tho oldest girl was sixteen and the old est hoy fifteen. So said the gruff old broker who had the party in charge, and who seemed quite anxious to dispose of his wares. After a great deal of quiz zing and evasive answers the broker told us tiiat tho husband and father was in California, and i.ad neglected to pay his note given for his passage and that his family were now offered for sale t ■ pay the debt, lie hoped to bo able to pay the debt with the sale of tho two oldest, girls, but as yet had received no orders. He said that the family became security voluntarily, and ho never knew of a case where they did not voluntarily offer themselves for sale if the note they secured was not paid. In reply to our questions, he said that when a customer bought a child or person, tho perai n was made at once the owner of tho child, body and soul. No Chinaman would dispute tho purchasers right to do what soever he pleased with tho human be ing he had paid for. Tho boys would make good servants, bo said in the course of a few years bo worth a fortune to tho owner. Tho girls would make ‘ armors” for nurses as ’they are called in America). lie would show us their physical beauty—would make them sing and ,play tricks if we thought of buying-. How much would we give? The oldest girl he would sell for four hundred dol lars; the next ono for two hundred, and tho little six year old foi fifty. The boys he could not sell until the girls were disposed of. We thought the price too high. The market was glutted with saleable girls, and lie must not think of getting over one hundred for tho oldest and handsomest while for the little one lie must not expect over ten dollars.— Ifo sneered at that and said that Eng lishmen always talked that way when they wanted to buy. While wo were talking, a party of bine-robed Chinese aristocrats came up and began to in spect the family. They opened the mouth of the oldest girl rapped on her white teeth to see if they were s mid, [lulled open her dress and thumpid her ribs, laughed at her little foot told her to show tho whites of her eyes, ordered her to sing and to show them the trinkets which tho fond mother had given her tin a parting gift. All the while the sales man kept up a constant jabber, iu which we took no interest. Time pressing we passed on leaving the parties disputing about the price and discussing the prob abilities of their running away if taken to Hong--Kong After making our call we returned tho same way to ascertain the result ol the sale. Only the mother and the boys were is It. The debt was only S3OO and SSO of it stiii remained unpaid. 1 have been often told by resi dents in China that tho parents would as soon sell their children as a cow or a pig. And I had begun to believe that such was the caso upon passing the group the first time. But the scene had changed. The girls were gone and now a hoy must go also. The mother sat in the dirt with her arms around tho yonng eat wailing iri a most pitleous manner, and as Ai r Hung said cursing the non that sold her husband a ticket to Ameri ca at S3OO which cost them but $lO. — The broker sat listlessly by smoking his pip® and twirling his cane, looking as it was tho smallest matter of busi ness with him. The hoys were crying and seemed very much afraid of ns, now it was certain one of them must go. But we passed on and left them in their mis ery. Wc never knew whether the boy was sold to a childless man to be treated as a son, to a Portuguese to be carried to tho Went Indies under a nominal con tract or to a native landowner to bo bis slave. But that one of them was sold into sorviuKio for the sum of iSSO, there can be no doubt. The girls were doubt less purchased for the vilest purposes, unless they had the rare luck to fall into tho hands of some native in search of a legitimate wile. lam told that the price of girls has gone up within a few months, owing perhaps, to tho fact that a less number of emigranls have forfeit ed their bond in California than was the case six mouths ago.

A special correspondent gives the de tails of tho atrocious Chinese massacre °f .French and Russian residents at ■U’ein Tsin, China. It appears that the responsibility foi the horrible butchery rests entirely with tho Chinese authori ties, and the mob were not only incited by tho Chinese Governor of the prov ince, but frequently urged to commit the atrocities. Their ignorance and su- perstition were worked upon by tho most remarkable means, and official publications taught them to believe that tiro foreigners were in Teiu Tsin to kid nap women and children, with the de sign of killing them and converting their bodies into drugs. A mob held possession of the French settlement, maltreating all foreigners who were abroad for two days, before any blood was shed, and the Governor not only did not restrain or disperse it, but lie even permitted his soldiers to encour age and aid it. It was not until tire riot was three days old that the French Consul was killed m the Governor's palace, and wholesale slaughter was begun. A number of American and English are missing, and can only be accounted fur by tho belief that they suffered the same fate as the others, and that t eir bodies floated away in die r.vcr. The Rev. Mr. Stanley and fami 'y. of Cincinnati, occupied ono of the missions, but, as he chanced to he ab sent at the time, Mrs. Stanley and Miss Thompson found refuge on board the steamship Manchu, and thus doubtless escaped a terrible fate. It is reported that over two hundred proselytes or priests wore massacred by tho mob. It is charged that Chung llow, the man darin or governor of the province, stood by and witnessed the massacre without attempting to prevent it, and also that James Muaduws, American consul at l oin Tsin, was in company with Cluing How all the time, and did nothing to prevent the terrible outrage, although lie is an officer of the Chinese govern ment, and had enough power and influ ence to prevent it. Tho Emperor of China lias appointed Chung I low a spe cial minister to Fan's to satisfy the French Emperor in reference to this out rage, and has appointed Meadows aa secretary and interpreter to accompany Chung How. This tho Shanghai pa pers denounce as a gross insult, and call on the French and Russian Govern ments to resent it. Tho outrages to which the f males were subjected b fore they were murdered are too sick ning to relate. “Every cruelty,” says tho correspondent, “which it was possible for the nnftt savage barbarism to con ceive of, was perpetrated upon these defenseless Clu istian ladies. A native Christian priest, who attempted to guard the and jor, was seized and torn from limb to limb. Nine sisters were collected in a large school room, beaten with sticks, their clothes torn from their bodies, placed on their heads, and cut 'villi knives in the most savage manner, and outraged. Yet alive, they were ranged side by side along the room, their cheeks gushed, lips and nose cut, eyes scooped from their heads, their breasts cut off, and abdomens ripped open. With large cleavers their limbs wore cut 'and broken, and in ten minutes naught remained but their disfigured bodies. When there was no more to do, fire was applied and the buildings burn ed. Sixty or seventy children who had 3 eight refuge from tho mob in tho cel lar, were burned to a cruel death. The French cathedral, consulate, hospital, and buildings of all foreigners, were sacked and burned. A steward on an Ohio river steamer was addiessod by an uneasy and excited individual who wanted him to put some body off the boat. The candidate for a forcible disembarkation was pointed out but itie steward could seo nothing out ol the way. ‘You don’t eji? Don’t you seo a man sitting theic hugging a woman?’ ‘Well yes,’ replied tho steward, ‘but what ot Hint 7 Hasn’t a fellow a right to embrace his wife?’ *l’hat’s just what I want you to run him out for,’ replied the stranger, dancing around, ‘that is my wife, and I have stood it so long that 1 have got mad!’ Five car loads of coolies have arrived at Selma, Ala., to work for tlirco years on the Selma and Gulf Railroad.
