AN UNLUUCKY HEIRESS.
An heiress married a foreigner who was, she understood, a count: but it turned out that he was only a waiter. When she discovered his true station, she reproached the man bitterly. "I knew 1 wasn't getting wealth with you,'' she said, '"but I thought 1 was getting family." "So you are getting family, my dear," her husband replied; and, with a nasty laugh, he opened a door and revealed six little children, all these are ours. I forgot to tell you 1 was a widower.''
