How uiticli is there here?

'I‘hi‘ee tlionseiiid dolli rs, was the answer.
Cli irlcs took the iuoney and counted it as
was his custom. He found the sum to be
coi‘rtet:t as Ned had stutt-cl; iirid was about to
place it ttiitiiu his pocket book, when an
unusual stir in the street t1l.l.l‘aCl.t.‘(l his atten-

for a tiiomeiit, and SItfppr'(l' to the door.——

In truth, Charles, I cannot It'll you; I
know that there were three thousand, for I
i'.0Ul'llB(l it, and saw you do the same.
I know it, but what has become of it? I
uni sure no one could steal that, without
imiiig the rest.
'I‘nc-y could not, l"(I'.t‘l'I1l. d N d.
No. Ned, they could not; and what is to
be done ?
Why. you must refund the money; that
is, put in anullier tliousaiid out of your own
poclcet, as you lost this.
But I cannot do that; I have not got a
thou~aiid dollars in the world.
I duri’t know t-that you will do then, said
Nrftl iii a Sorrow fol tone-.
There is one thing I can do. said Charles.

I'll go and ti ll airy entployir all the cii

sayziig he left the store to seek Mr. Day the
prttictptil owner of the t.’cltbllSlillIt'Ill. c
found him in his otfice, and related candidly
all il1tiCll‘CutltSIrt[)C'S of loosing the nioitey.
You say that both you and Ned .GflIIIll
counted lllc inoiiey? asked Mr. Day.
VVH did.
And there is one thousand of it gone?
'I‘liei'e is.
Well, sir. continued Mr. Day, this
seems to give me good l't-'t)SOl) to Stl$p-'Cl you
of using the inoiiey tor your own icdiviu til
purposes. But as I hzive axliviiys found you
honest het‘e'.olot't=. [do not like to believe
but you are still.
You tlo not suspect me of stealing the
money do you ? llSl\I'd Charles, while his
eyes liglitt-.tl up with fire, and his face red-
deiit-il at the insult.
No, no, I said not that; and to save all
unncccessary words, it you replace the
uiouey, all will be right, and not hing said;

Charles left the offi-ze with a heavy heart.
He had t‘Xl)t’ll(It‘(I all. or nearly all, his
funds in buying furniture for his new house ;.
and now W hat course to take he knew not.
lWtth those sad thoughts be Wtfldtfd his
way home. His lovely wife met him with
a smile of welcaine; and soon he forgot his
cart.-s. ‘while revelling in all the sweets that
hovered round him.
ChEll'lBS had no sooner lt’Il. the office of
his employer, titan Ned entered.
Ahl said Mr. Dav,I begin to believe
what you told me respecting Charles; and
now what Sllilll we do about this affair?
- .Ill(lf‘t'(I I know not, sir. ariswe-red Ned.
The villain! he thought to deceive me,
by telling a long story about loosing the
money. Iguess it costs more to support his
Wlf” than he ever thought of. '
I don’l know any thing about. his expens-
--s. said Ned, but I pity hint now.
Pity him. I do not. If he does ‘notrcplacr
the money, he must suffer the consequences,
ll’°Pe SIT.‘ you will not be hard with the
P°"f l'='ll0\V. slid Ned, impluriugly.
I ll see to him; and iiutv you may go to
tlhe store. .
_ N:-dole-ft the office with full as bitter feel
tugs as those of his victim. In fact, he was
not by nature ii villain; but Frank had cor.
ruptt-d him with his bribes and promises;
and for his own welfare he thought he u.o.i
becotiie an instrument in the hands of his
“‘l}"39l- Fft1ttl<._t0 work the ruin ofliis former
friends.
The next morning Charles was surprised
by the entrance of ti roizgh looking man,
who. in a blunt uiiirioer, asked him,
Is your riauie Charles Wilson?
It is. was the answ.-r.
'I‘hen you are my prisoner.
For what .7 asked Cliarlt-s, in amiiz:-ntent.
Why, here is the writ: its on old Day’s
account the suit is brought. .
lntiu instant Charles saw lie was sus-
pected of stealing the iiioney ivliicli he
had .lost. He turned to Mary, who was
looking on with wonde-ring eyes, and in a
ICW words, explained to her the (‘.ll'Cl.I(llSIu[l-
ces olthv case; tlieu biddLng her to be or
good COUl‘.'1gt‘, he It'll. the house, with the
ulllcer‘, to procure bail for his employer; not
doubting but even i\’cd, or any of Ill: fi'it-iids
i'oul-.l be bail for so siiiall amount. But
It.-rt.-. his eneiiiies had brcn at work; and
tliey had so ptilét'llt'(I the uiitids of his former
ltieiids, with their suspicions, doubts, and
conjectures, that not one would tlke contpas
Slot] upon him. and becozue surety for his
appearance. With a heavy lieurt he tvais
conducted to the city prison, and there con-
fined with villains of the lI)l2lCl\'t‘Sl. dye.
He v.'t'ote. to Mary, telling her of his situ-
iltion, btit at the same tiiiie exhorttiig her to
be of good cheer, for he was innocent. of thi-
yrinie laid to his charge.
. This news was l'et‘{'lV(-‘fl by Mary with
¢aiii'iiiess; for she believed her liusbund to
lo irznoceiit, and k new in it. her cousin Frat: k
would do every thing in his power to dis
tress her. She krietv this Isay, for Frank
pad ('i]lll’d upon her the day that Charles
was arr.-sit-u and iiiunted her with p0V't‘tl_\’.
and th— tlisgrace which now must iiievitably
under air arrest. for theft. She bore his
taunts with tirtiini:s.<, nor even it-plit-d to his
base minded Slt.‘l)(lt-'!'S. Antl as soon as he

tc.-d—tut‘rii:d away. and passed on to the pris-
on. She was lnllllfldl-ilely admitted; and
the scene that followed, we, dear readers
will not attempt to describe.
CHAP’l'l~2R v.
Vile must now carry the reader to the
in.-insiori of Col. St-yiiionr. I-le uas seated
ll. his desk in the library, iipparently enga-
ged in thoiiglit. A book was open before
litiii, but tie rent. not; his mind was far away
—uiid, need we say, his dauglilcr and
thoughts of her situation, t'ngl‘0S:C(.l his
whole attciitiori? In fact, he wits sorry that
he had bet,-ii so piecipittte in writing to her.
But then, again, what Frank had told him
respecting Charles, would flit across his
mind; und there seemed to be no altt-i‘na-
tire, for, as to owning a gambler for his son.
he coii‘d not. \iVhile thus eiigagtd in his
reflections, Frank entered the room.
Uncle. said he, I told you that Cliarles
Wilson was a bad characti-r; butyou would
scaiceiy believe me; and now he is in prison
for theft.
'l‘h-- old man slowly rose from his seat,
and in ii calm but stern m.-inner said,
Frank, I have heard enough ol Charles
Wttson. He has siol. n trout one my child,
and I liave turned her from my house for-
evrr. Let him be wtnit and where he will.
Iwisli never again to hear his name lllt‘li-
tiont-tl—for God kiiotvs. he has already

The trial proceed. Ned Grimn testified
that he had long suspected Charles of pur-

her eyes rested upon Charles in the prison-

whispering her to be quiet for a few nio-
merits. and all would be convinced of her
husband's innocence. He then stopped for-

While the Colonel was telling his story,
Frank and Ned l’)t.‘d contrived to lt'flt.'é the

Charles was inimediately released from

Thus saying, they entered a c.iri‘inge, and

we have them.

ways rode on hots:-back, and was remarka-

for his taste in this matter. One day, when

W'o-men Fatteuerl at T-uni~'fui'JIIarriage.
—A Girl, after she is l)€lr(illlt'(l, is coopedin
a small room. Shackles of gold and silver
.tl'(:‘ pl. ced upon her uncles and wrists, as it
piece of dress. If she is to be married to in
titan who has discharged, despatched, or lost
at former wife, the shackles which 8. former
wife tvoreare put on the new bride s limbs,
and she is led till they fill up to a proper
tliickness. The food used for this custom,
ti nrthy ofthc barbarians, is called aro-ugh,
which is ofan extraordinary fattening quality
also fainous for rendering milk rich and a-
bundaiit W’itli seed, and their national dish
cuscasco, the bride is llI.t‘l‘fllly craiimed, and
many actually die under the spoon.
It may be said in reply, says the U. S.
Gaze-tie, with just severity, thatthe fat ofthe
Tunisian bride is fat: but il. ose who bustle
up their d-iughiers for the market, seem ll)
be guilty of a deception as great as is the
butcher who blows up his veal.
F-iz',{.r}itened (1.! S}zaclows.—A fellow went
to the parish priest, and told him, with a
long face, that he had seen ii ghost. ‘When
and where?’ ‘I was passing by the church,
and up against the wall of it did I behold the
spectre.’ In what. shape did it appear?’ as-
ked the priest ‘ll appeared in the shape of
a great ass.’ ‘Go borne and hold your
tongue about it,’ said the parsoii; fyou are a
very timid man. and have been frightened at
your own siiarlow !’
The Latest.—Somebody ought to lay
hands on the editor of the Boston Post and
hold him. We find the following atrocity
