BE VOL. XXX Jntcrcsfmti torn. From Peterson's Magazine for Oct-la?r. WHICH IS WHICH. BY ELLA HODMAX. . A tikt cheerful looking upper room was pleasantly littere.I with all manner of prettj things pertaining to a lady's wardrobe; and two young1 girls, who were engaged in a valuable discu sion of tlie various articles, harmonized very agreeably with the beauty around them There were "loves of organdies" spread out on tlie bed. delicate lilac, and rose, and Mue ; "perfect"' silks hanging over chair-hacks, and a simple but exquisitely beautiful bridal dress arranged in btate by itself Then there were mysterious looking boxes, and parcels, and things for which it would be difficult to find a name, making the room look as though a dry goods store had been suddenly emptied into it. "There certainly is something very exhilerating in a quantity of new things all at once ! ' exclaimed one of the young girls, as she gazed admiringly upon the attractive paraphernalia. "It is almost enough, of itself, to induce one to get married. But, after all, Jessie," looking around critically, "while all that you have is very pretty, and in perfect tiste, there is nothing costly or elegant I do not quite understand it." The fair bride elect Mushed, as though suspected of a misdemeanor, while she replied quickly, "You know, Kinma, that papa is not rich, and Herbert i3 quite a poor young clergyman." "Yes, I know all that," sid the damse. decidedly; "but I ntso know tint uncle Budges, who is rich, gave you a check for a thousand dollars, '-to spend iu bridal foolery," as lie cotuplimentarily termed it. Now in looking upon your purchases, unexceptionable as they are, I see nothing like value received for the sum in question ; and I ask what has become of t'le thousand dollars or, at least, of five hundred of it?" Jessie's pretty face was iu such an evident state of confusion, that her cousin suddenly exclaimed, "I see land ahead, I do believe! Jessie Ingleson, you've given the missing five hundred to that imaginary little church that Herbert is so frantic to have erected in the coal re gions ; You needn't deny it I lon"t consider that tlie t rencli fcinpress appropriation of her diamond necklace Cor a school, or something-, was anything compared to this for diamond neck! -ices were comparatively every dav ntmirs with her; but five hundred dollars is a sort of meteor that will scarcely cross your path once in a lenturv !" Jessie murmured softly, "Neither will I offer burnt-otferings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing." I'lease do not say any more about it, hmma; Herbert approves ot what 1 have done, and that is sufficient for me " "Of course." returned Kmina, mischievously, "thine handmaid only desireth to do what seemeth pleasing in the eyes of my lord. But really, Jessie, I think I must reconsider ray hasty promise to make you an early visit at the rectory; fori have an unpleasant vision before me of sitting down at the dinnertable, fearfully hungry, in full view of my favorite chicken pie, all impatience and expectation, when suddenly his reverence, for whom we have waited, makes his appearance from outside, saying, in a matter of course tone, as he seizes the chicken pie, "My love, there is a poor woman at the door, with a drunken husband and six small children, who says that she has not tasted chicken-pie for a month ! I am sure that, after that, you and Kmma will cheerfully dine oil" the cold meat. I will likewise take the sweet potatoes, my love," (another pet viceot mine,) "as we shall find bread a very good substitute. When we give, let it be of our best " Now, I can't help being hungry." continued the lady, piteously, "and when I am hungry, I am cross; sol am afraid I should be very uncomfortable, and make every one else uncomfortable among such goo 1 people." 'I declare. Emma, you are really too bad !' ssi'l Jessie, laughing in site of herself at her cousin's comical expression while delivering this tirade; and I have a great mind to punish yoa by not allowing you t come to the rectory at nil. But here," she centirued as a servant entered with n large bandbox, "ia some tiling to divert your thoughts from your anticipated troubles." Two exquisite bonnets of white ciape, trimmed with lilies of the valley, and made exactlv alike, soon sent the mer curial Emma into ecstasies of adraira- : tion "One for each of us. dear," said Jessie, with an affectionate kiss. "You should not have done this." was the reply, "especially after the deficiency in your accounts ; there don't lonk so reproachfully at me, I promise not to mention the subject of accounts again. Hut do you know, you lit lie idiot! that bridesmaids don't wear bonnets exactlylike the bride? How, in thi world, are people to know which is which? You must let tne take out thee lively lilies, that took so pure and mo lest, and put in a staring pink rose, in order to notify a credulous, ti listing public that I am not Mrs Herbert WvHe." "No, no!" exclaimed Jesie. eagerly, "promise me that you won't. Emma ! Vo.i ilon't know." sai l the poor littie bride, trembling all over, "how dreadful that first Sunday in onr own parish seems to me. I fancy myself walking up the aislo with Herbert." and everyone pointing and looking at me. as they whisper, "There's tlie bride!" "That is the rector's wife!" "What da you think of her?" 1 know that my face will be the color of a beet, and I shall not know what I am doing. You must promise to be with me ou that first Sunday, like a dear, jrood girl, and wear the bonnet like nine."

The "amethyst eyes," as her lover call scarcely conceal their joy at the dis- : ed them, were looking most beseechinjly Corery that the facinsting Emma was ' into Kmnia's dark orbs, who exclaimed not forbidden fruit. i in delikht. But Frank Beechcroft had no sisters "What a head it is for plotting, to be j to enlighten hiin. for his home was in a sure! under those innocent looking waves '; distant citv ; and on the very day after I of auburn hnir Yes, my dpar.

j as no one com i possiuiy take us ior ; ttrin ticfpj t'if'rA will pnnf a most iei li 'htful state of confusion." Jessie looked rather alarmed. Do vou think it would be wrong ? she asked timidly. Her cousin immediately assumed a solf-mu exoression of countenance "I alwa'shada irre-tt admiration." sai l she, "for that woman who, being renuccd to scilinir crurnnets for a living, added to I h"rself aftor calling out her wires, "I ! hope to goodness no one hears me !" j Now. if you fcfl at all nneasv respecting j the deception of your admirably a' rangi ed plan, you c in pin a slip of paper on i your bonnet with the words "I ant the i bride but please don't see this " .Tp5sif s m-clf v unilcrliii had soinethi n7 i ' of a pout, as she exclaimed. "I really j think, Emma, it is very unkind of you to ; tease me so; wheal am going aw.t-, too .'" The wedding was over, and the wed ding trip, which occupied a blissful month, spent in lounging through quaint. Canadian cities, and dreaming on the beautiful waters of the St Lawrence ; and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Wylie. with Mr. Allen Wylie, and Miss Emma Uaybol 1 the brother of the aroom and cousin of the bride arrived at the recto ry ou Sttnrdiy evening. Poor little-Jessie dreaded the Sun layordeal so intensely, that her mischievous cousin was quite moved in her beh:df ; and when service time arrived, Mrs Wv ' lie appeared in her gray traveling-dress ' and struw bonnet, trimmed with blue, j and took her brother-in law's arm, while j Mis Ray hold lnokintr very lovelv and j bride like, in the bonnet with lilies of I the valley, and a white barege dress, I with white mnnile of the same, and coolly i took possess!, n of her new cousin. ; Now the Rev. Herbert had sroue into j J such lover like ecstasies over the becom in on ess of Jessie's tr-ivelin'jr costume, j j that he innocently snppo-ed she wore it j . this morning to pay him a pariiculnr com ipliment; lie was also ignorant that, it i I was not the custom for unmarried girls I to attire themselves in bridal white I Thinking, too. that Jessie was particn ! la ly kind to Allen as his brother, she ! became mor lovely than ever in his eves ; j and the unsuspicious man walked blindly j into the snare that these two artful girls had prewired for him. A bright color rl.-wpd in Mis Raybold's cheek, and an enthusiastic young tint declared that "she was a vision of beauty," as the party advanced to the ! rector's pew; but a mischievous light i sparkled in the downcast eyes, as she I lonnii herself the object ot curious, m- ! quiring stares, that speedily assumed an admit ing character. She knew that she 1 was pretty, although by no means utiJ pleasantly conscious of it; and this enI abled her to bear with equanimity the 1 wrapt gaze of a young man in the ad- ' joining pew. She rather wished that lie , had not ga :e l at her quite so frequently. ; however: for. in the one glance he hal directed that way. she saw enough t0 t ; impel htr to look again but that was 'j impossible when she w.i certain of meet ing his eyes. He was first her benn rat al outwardly, "t least; tall. ftir. and aristocratic looking nnd Miss Emma -was by no menns as attentive to the service as she should have been. Mr. Wylie was comparatively ft strtn ger in the parish, having been there but six montltaind all his doings, therefore, were still subject of interest. People were unanittiooijy in their praises of the bride ; and riot tt few young gentlemen sighed that so fair a vision should be appropriated. Some admired the sweet j face of the quiet looking little cousin ; I but it was generally agreed that she was j a very pale star beside the moon-like bride" I As they returned to the rectory. Mr. j I Wylie, wlio had seemed to be looking for j j some one, observed: "I am quite disap- ,' I pointed that Frank Beechcroft did not ' come up to us after service, as I suppos- ; ed he would have done. 1 wished par 1 i fieularly to introduce him to you, Jessie, j ' for he is my pet parishioner, and has , ! ben of great assistance to me. lie is j i a very gentlemanly, intelligent fellow, J ! too. What is the matter, Emma?" j Hie damsel had heaved a deep sigh. 1 "I don't know," she replied, "unless I am in love. "Who is that nice looking gentleman who sat on my right, and was so very devout and attentive?" "The very friesid of whom I was speaking!" exclamed Mr. Wylie, -with; his face in a glow of enthusiasm. "I I look upon Frank Beechcroft ns a model , man; lie is superintendent of the Sun : day-School ; is devoted to the poor and sick in an unostentatious way ; and yet he is the very incarnation of fun and frolic wherever circumstances warrant an outburst We must have him at the rectory, Jessie, and let Emma give hira ; some of her delicious music." Allen Wylie was only a college boy, rather at a lo-s what to do with himself. or his brother's fair guest, aud far more disposed to devote himself to Jessie than to the bright and formidable Emma. The latter laughingly declared that he was loo hopelessly "vealy" for her to have any patience with him and they seemed to enter into a tacit agreement to let each other alone. The bride was not left long without ca'.iers ; each one of whom was apparent ly more astonished than the last to tind tht the bride was not the bride at all, tmt only her cousin This ordeal was bad enough, to be sure; but Jessie felt intensely o-ratef d that she had been

1 spared that first Sunday appearance, for, Jessie laughed a little at Emma's non- ' by next S in lav. all wonder would have ; sense, but she did not feel quite easy on ! die.l out The feminine portion of the the subject.

MOID

ENDS THOU AIM ST AT, BE THY l lie young clergyman was consiueaot puzzled and disappointed; he had quite looked forward to displaying his prize to Frank, ond he was the very one of all others who seemed to avoid them. But tlie rectory became so transformed , by the two bright presences that seemed j to fill every nook and corner ot it, tua j the master found himself afloat in such j a sea of hsppiness, as left him very little ! i opportunity to trouble himself about j j secondary matters. Even Jessie dis- j j played quite an elfish and mischievous ; i propensity, incited and abetted by Em ma; and with Allen's contributions from j his college storea. the inmates of the i rectory conducted themselves in such a 1 manner as rather to astonish the head i of the house, and gave people generally the idea that they were "having a good : time." The rectory was a very pretty, pic- ! tnresque-looking place, with its vine j shaded verandah, that was very aptly ', designated "the summer parlor." A ; young man passed slowly by. One evening, looking lingeringly through an opening in the vines, where a bewitching vision iu a white dress anil scarlet shawl, t lint contrasted brightly with the rich coils of dark hair, presented itself. 'Why. Frank !" called out Mr Wvle. "is that you? Do come and show your- 1 self!" and he rose to welcome the expected visitor. ; Brit the gentTeman, raisiji h's hat respectfully to the ladies, passed qnicklr on, murmuring something about "business."' and "great Iiurrv!" "T am very much afraid." said Mr. Wylie, solemnly, "that Frank is in love." A sort of hysterical giggle proceeded from Emma's direction; but the next moment she was commenting very calmly on the stars. ' The morning after, Mrs. Wylie wns considerably surprised by the abrupt entrance of her cousin in a glow of excitement, and looking her very loveliest The iaunty little hat, with its rose eolored feathers, was a mns becoming con trast to the dancing eves beneath: and I the white dress, with rose colored rib I bons, was exactly like Emma, for she ) understood dressing herself to perfecJ tion "S'tch an adventure ns I have had !" she exclaimed ; "I feel so delightfully wicked !" " i Then, throwing her hat on the sofa, ', she continued. "Yon must know, Jessie, that I rambled off by myself to explore that delightful piece of woods iust opposite the orchard : and T was enjoying the l cool, fresh greenness exceedingly, and feeling quite good and sentimental, when I heard an individual, like one of the t brothers in 'Comns.' wandering near me, i and repeating poetry to himself. I could not distinctly hear the words, but they referred to some 'she' of whom the speaker professed to know very Jittle, but who had evidently made sad havoc with him generally. Animated by the spirit of mischief, and just to see what effeetit would produce. I repeated the words ; 'She only said, my life is dreary.' Th effect was not at nil what I anticipated, being nothing less than the sudden nnonritioti of that very good looking Mr Beechcroft. who glared at me so wildly tliat I believed I screamed, or did something foolish Yon see 1 was reposing very comfortably on the grass, in an attitude that rendered a speedy and rracef.d retreat out of the question : and I was. moreover, engaged in the infantile occupation of twining butter cups into a wreath. Had I been a queen, h could not have approached me with more deference 'Lady,' said he. in a most fascinating voice, 'do not be alarmed. I know too well what is due Mrs Wylie to cause vou any uneasiness.' T believe I sighed. ( for the life of me I could not help it. Jessie. ) and it ail som le I so delightfully, like what vou heir about French novels, ( you know we were not permitted to read them. ) where the heroes and heroines are always in love with other people's wives and husbands that I q'i:te held mv breath in wonder n i to what would come next What did come next wa, that tbe ln.bTioritl. aftr a prolonged gaze. ( which I a out of the tail of my eve ) suddenly stooped, and kissed my lips in the most melancholy manner imaginable, and saving, as he did so. 'Farewell forever in this world !' seemed to vanish into thin sir. I cannot imagine. I am sure, how he could suppose that kiss was 'due Mrs. Wylie." "Oh Emma!" exclamed her cousin, "this is reallv dreadful !" -Isn't it?" continued the hero;n gavly. "Only fancy how Herbert will storm when he between Mrs. hears of this interview Wylie and Mr. Beechcroft !"" "Why did vou not tell him at nnc that you are no Mrs Wylie?" asked Jessie, rather indignan.lv. "It would save a great deal of trouble, besides putting at ease this man, who has ev idently fallen in love with you." 'Because, dear," replied her cousin, demurely. "I do so love to be engaged in a little bit of romance; ani I do not think that men who fall in love with people ever should be "put at their ease" it just spoils them. The un3ta;nable is always most attractive ; and should Mr. Beechcroft discover that there is only a plain, commonplace "Mis" before my name. I am afraid his devotion would j sink down to zero immediately. Only j think of the fascinating enormity or nis ; conduct; to lose his heart to the wile of ' his rector."

SEPT. 14, 1865. The next day, at dinner, there was a ; very perceptible cloud on Mr. Wylie'g ; face he looked sad and troubled. "Has anything occurred to disturb vou. Herbert?" asked his wife, anxiously--Yes." he replied, as though he scarce ly Knew bow to begin it. "I uau a yeTJ paiuful letter from Frank Beechcroft i this morning, explaining his strange , conduct, and informing me that he in ; tends leaving the place at once. He is ; an upright, noble fellow, and I cannot i blame him ; but I would have given much ; if this had not occurred. He has told : me everything." Very much to his surprise, Jessie, who ; had turned crir.ison at the beginning of his speech, burst into tears, and sudden- ; ly left the table ; while Emma sat there, j pale and trembling, under a powerful ef- : fort to comtuard herself. "What does this mean?" asked her j cousin, anxiously. "Can it be possible j that Jessie " I A dreadful solution of his wife's dis- , tress rose to his mind, and tdmost mad ' dened him ; but. with a forced smile, Etnma exclaimed, "Don't be making moiini t;uns of mole hills, cousin Herbert; the ; whole affair, from beginning to end, is ; only a piece of girlish nonsense, as I will so.:i convince you. When I get through you c.nn give me a good shaking, if it will be any relief to vou." : Mr. Wvliedid not exactly administer . tlie shaking ; but he did administer rather j a .stein reproof, which Emma professed j to laugh at ; then going in quest of Jessie he found her such a wretched little bun- j die of te.nrs and trembling, that he was i . obliged to take Ler in his arms, and soothe her with caresses and protesta lions of the most lover like character His next performance was to seize Frank Reach eroi't, just avs lie whs packing his trunk with an air of the fiercest mel , ancholy. and drag him, almost by the hair of his head, over to the rectory; where he was presented, in due form, to t.iv wicked Emma, whose face burned p.tinfuMy at the rememberaui e of that kiss; and then to the bona JiJe Mrs. Wy- , lie. w ho looked so pretty in her confusion, that her husband thought it woull have b e;s an easy matter for the youth to commit himself as he thought he had done. It took but a short time, after such a promising beginning, for Miss Ray bold and Mr. Beechcroft to feel very well acq tainted ; and matters progressed so rap idly, that Mrs. Wylie was not at all surprised, when her mischievous cousin informed her, that she had given a promise to a certain individual to wear her bridal bonnet to church on the first Sunday after the ceremony that converted her into Mrs. Beechctoft. In the Circuit Court of Bedford coun ty, Tennessee, last week, an interesting case was tried The executors of D. R. Vaxck sued James M Johnson on a note given foi the purchase of a slave at a time when slavery existed, tlie said note falling due before the abolition of tlie in stitution in Tennessee. The defendant pleaded a failure of consideration. But it was decided, says the Shelby vitle Union, that as the executors could have made a litle to the slave tit the time the note was due, the defendant is not released from his liability to pay tin' debt, he not having offered to pay it before slavery was abolished. The note was payable in good paper currency of the country. Mid money itself. The jury rendered a verdict against tlie defendant for the amount of the note and interest, less twenty per cent., it being proved that the best paper currency was twenty per cent discouut.

How Paper Collars are Made. We find the following in an exchange: "At the en 1 of the tirst room are piles of pure white paper, awaiting their turn to be guillotined in a machine furnished with twenty-two shear blades, which cut ! the paper into the reouisite strips for the (collar, on precisely the same principle as a gigantic patr uf scissors, thus leaving no rough edge. The product of two paper mills is consumed in this factory, t ami at luc- i ate v ' i a buu iu a lull ouu a half per day ; the average production be- j ing about one hundred thousand collars j per day, which find a ready sale, despite j the uuuierous imitations with which the i market is iloodcd. From the hands of : the attendant who turns out the pure, i even strips of paper, they pass into the hands of another fair executioner, who brings the incipient collar nearer its i birth by passing it through another pair j of knives by which it acquires shape in an I instant Still another machine marches j relentlessly up and down, and as the col- I lar lotives its iron e m t rn ee th tlira j button holes are isilie, large, clean cut, ! firm-holding and easily handled. j "The collar is now placed between two ! 1 dies or clamps, passed under a quick, ! j heavy pressure, and emerges again with i j that close imitation of stitching which ' i renders it so close an imitation of its lin- ! en brother that the difference can hardly be distinguished ; it is stamped also with the size and corporate mark. Next comes the crimping machine, which draws the curved lines on which the shape of the collar turns, and which. by allowing space for the cravat, insures I a smooth tit. lueytUen pass through the nimble hands of a damsel, who with deft fingers, flying with lightning like rapidity, turns the collar over ns no ma chine has yet been able t do; from these hands it passes to the molding machine, where it is bent round into perfect shape The process is an important one, reqnrcs skill in the operator, and strength in the paper, which must be of the best to resist the immense strain required to mold the collar into perfect shape. "The collar is now, as it were, born shapely, trim ami elegant, and ready to adorn the neck of the most fastidious, having passed through seven distinct processes of manufacture. It is at once taken in hand by women and packed into boxes by the hundred, or in the wellknown little round boxes of ten each, which are so convenient to toss into a va Use when off for a week in the country or elsewhere. For the item of boxes the j company expend over r0.000 per nnnum. The lirst machine turned out tlie collar entire, performing the whole work ' at once, but slowly and imperfectly lut the genius of the inventor, quickened by tlie rapidly increasing demand for the article, added improvement, by one machine after another, until the manufactory is now capable of turning out five mil lion of collars per month. "The American Molded Collar Company employ in this manufacture seven ty neatly-dressed, intelligent looking American women, most of whom are young. These women earn a dollar per j day, and their work is clean, healthy and not very laborious. Mr. Gray, who first j commenced to manufacture in the spring ! of ltiS, lias now eight patent on collar and machine, having previously secured them in Europe ; three of the directors of the Company went there this summer with skilled mechanics and American machinery, to take measures to establish the manufacture in England, France ami Belgium, where they will probably soon attain that popularity which the American molded collar has achieved in this country." The Fool and His Money. The lucky miner hastens down to Victoria or San Francisco, and sows his gold broadcast.

Z- An engineer tells the following story of western life : We had been busy during the day runuing a line through a dense piece of forest. Au old woman gazed on ns for some time in silence. We all saw she wanted to enter into conversation, and none, with the exception of myself, wished to gratify her. I Mon commenced a dialogue on various subjects and things, and, as a matter of course, I put my best, foot forward. Struck with my language she exclaimed, in a tone quite flattering to my vauity, "How learned ye are!" But the compliment received a death blow. "If I was as high larned ft scholar as you," continued .she, "I'd quit engineer ing. aud go to kcepiu a little grocery!"

It was a curious freak of thelale tornado in Minnesota, that it stretched the telegraph wires sixty feet. When found by the repairer, the wire, though disconnected from the main battery, was so charged with electricity that it communicated a bovere shock nineteen hours after the .storm passed. It is supposed that the wire was so overcharged as to become red hot, nnd in that condition stretched by the sheer force of the wind. - -- XW Mr. Richard Thornton, the millionare of London, who died a few weeks ago, left property to the value of 818,300,000. As an instance of the manner in which he accumulated wealth, it is related that he was apprised of the fact of Napoleon's return from Moscow three days before it was known either to the British Ministry or any other person in London, and he profited by it something over 81,000,000. Jt& The last wonderful discovery made is that by a Frenchman, that electricity applied to ft certain small apparatus (electrical) in his cane, which he holds above Ids head, when the rain pours off in all directions.
