THE LOST BANK NOTE.
BY A RETIRED ATTORNEY.
From the present, with its serene joys, I
somet.ine: look. back upon the past, with its
trials and
,its struggle,s. -t In my quiet hunt;
iu the country, I feel as though the battle ha``'
beenfnig,lit and. the viet.iry won. To me
ltti hip: been a busy, bustling scene, and - here
in my quiet liirary, surrounded by the well
thumbed volumes of Blackstone, Chitty, and
their ielluvrs, I feel as though I had completely
emerged.from the din of the world, and that
my heaven had commenced here on earth.
In thirty years of practice I have been an
actor in many a life-drama, which may_ os-
bens to others some portion of the interest with
which I regard_ them, but' in ire f;ir lay own
alause.nent, nowever, than tar the edification

may not be without its moral—l transcribe
fr.en the page of menwry au incident from my
experience.
was seated in my office, busily ongaged.in
hunting up the law fur a certain case of some
importance, when the door was timidly open
ed, and a young lady, apparently not more
than seventeen years of at,, , c, stepped into the
room. 11'ithout being, very pretty, she had
a countenance and an expression which failed
not to attract the interest of the - beholder.
She. was quite pile, and seemed to shrink
with instinctive dread from the glance I be
-stowed _upo_t_her. But_her_sweet face_and_
gentle manners had already won my sympa
thy. Her sail fat?ceand timid movements as
sured me that she had
.a painful tale to
tell; _y_etiwai not indisposed to hear it.
A visitor with a less prepossessing face
would have called forth a frown and a short
answer, fur I was in the very midst of an in
vestigation which promised to reward my
Search in as satisfactory manner.
She advanced towards my desk, and I
closed my book, and ruse to receive her.
"Mr. Doeket!" said she, and I saw her
lips tremble with emotion as she spoke.
1 signified to her that I was the person she
sought, and handed her a chair—a civility
which her trembling frame enabled her to
appreciate, for her agitation seemed to be en
tirely beyond her control.
After allowing her a few moments to recov
er her self-possession, I gently required her
business with me.
"I have a brother," she began, and the hot
tears filled her eyes, arid for a moment; olr
strueted her vision.. Her heart seemed to
close with its wild beatings.
"May I know whom I address?" I asked,
moderating my voice, so as to afford her all
the encouragement which gentle tones could
convey.
"Alice Wade," she replied.
" You seem to be in distress. Let me beg
of you to be calm ; perhaps your case is not
so had as you suppose."
-
"Mac Heaven grant that it be not l" .
"Take your own time; Miss Wade. Per
baps you had better %alit a, tew momeuts, till
you feel better able to proceed, and in the 1 .
meantimel assure you of my desire to serVe
you."
"Thank vou, sir," sobbed she.
o,l , l,urried to my law books, so as not to
emWrrass her by seeming to be waitingfor her
to recover her calmnes-.

and though I fixed my eyes on the book. it
was only to think of the weeping maid by my
side. 1 waited till her sobbingd ceased, and
then carefully approached the object of her
"I am' taking up your 'time, Mr. Pocket;
but I have heard that you were a kind and
charitable gentleman, and I have ventured to
seek your aid."
It was a very blunt compliment,. but I
doubted not its sincerity, There could be no
hypocrisy in that gentle maiden, none, even
to accomplish the most cherished purpose.
"Whatever I can do for you, Miss Wade,
shall he done with the greatest pleasure." I
added.
"Thank you, sir."
You must not look on the dark wide of
your case. In law; we regard a u►an as inno
cent, till he is proved to he guilty ; and you
must not regard anything as hopeless until all
efforts to redeem it have failed. 1 continued,
with a smile, from which she seemed to gath
er the hope Ldesired to impart.
"I have a b - iiither, an only brother, who is
in the deepest distress."
"His name r I asked, taking a pen, ready
to note down the facts in the case as she detail
ed then►.
"Richard Wade."
"Go on, if you please."
"I Ie is a hook-keeper in the store of Doneley
& Co"
!•Ah!" and I wrote it down ; and being ac
quainted with the firm, I began to feel more
confidence in my ability to aid my fair client.
Donley tt; Co., were merchants of estab
lished reputation for integrity and upright
ness.
"My mother is it widow, and depended upon
Richard
,for support. She has been afflicted
with a cancer for more than three years, so
that Icon do-nothing but take care of her and
do the work at home. It takes all of Richard's
salary to Support us and pay the doctor's hill;
hut he has labored cheerfully for us—for his
poor sufferin,, ,, mother.—Richard is very kind,
and never Alias of the many deprivations
which our circumstances compell him to en
dure. Ile is contented to work earl} and late,
and never Spends a dollar upon himself. Oh,
sir, he is such at good brother!"
"Your mother must be very grateful for
such a son; and you for such a brother."
••Olt, we are,. sir ! pour Richard he is
in jail no*;" and again she sobbed as though
her heart would-break.
"Indeed ! In jail?"
. I was not quite prepared for such a eatas
,trophe as thisothd [confess that.my feelings,
lawyer as [Was, were much moved. But it
was possible that the poor girl was deceived
in regard to her brother, that he was an angel
at home, and a demon abroad, as I have
known more than one man be. Yet I could
not reconcile the. glowing eulogium which the
young lady had pronounced upon his cbarae
ter with such a conclusion.
"Of what is he accused, Miss Wade ?
Nay, do not weep, he may he innocent."
know he is !" she answered with consid
erable vehemence.
"Then he assured his innocence will be
made apparent to the world."
•"Would that I could feel so !"
"Now. if you please state the faets of the
ease, I will make a memorandum of them, and
I doubt not we shall be able to make a good ease
of it."
"Why, mother's sickness had reduced my
• !lei's finances down to the lowest el I 1)---.:41)
lo4that we had not even enough to pay our
r axter's rent, and the quarter hills. Richard
much - disturhedWillis difficulty, and for
several days he was very sad. But one day
he came home with an unusual cheerful face.
and intbrmed us that he had paid the rent and
all the hills.
"We inquired where he had obtained the
money. lie told us he had borrowed it of a
friend, who had started that day for New Or
leans. We thow , ht nothing _ more about
a week after=that Was ye,terday—when he
did not crane:home to dinner. We were not
alarmed, however ; but when he did not come
home to slipper, we were much disturbed, and
I went t the store to seek him.
"Mr. Donley told me that he had been ar
rested for stealing a hundred dollars from
hint about a week before. I was horrified at
the charge, and liad nearly fallen upon the
floor."
The poor girl wiped her eyes, and I inquir
ed the ground upon which her brother was
ac.used.
,"Mr. Donley was inelosing, a hundred dollar
bill in a letter to send away by mail, at the
desk where Richard was writing, when a
runaway horse dashed by the Store. .He flew
to the oor -observe-the-mad-an int:lL—leav
ing the hundred dollar bill. as he declared,
and the half-written letter, on the desk.
"On his return, the money was nowhere to
be found—Richard had nut seen it. Sea rc h
Was instituted, but it could not be found. It
happened that our landlord, who is a brother
. Lt-law of Mr. Donley, wished. to change a
hundred dollar bill, and casually mentioned
that he had received it from Richard in pay
ment for his rent, which had been delayed
several days.
"Mr. Donley immediately identified the bill
as the one he lost. lie is very positive, - and
is ready to swear it is the very bill he lost.
An officer was called, and poor Richard was
thrown into prison. Of course he could nut
produce the person who lent him the money,
and Mr. Donley chose to regard Richard's
explanation as a mere invention."
It was a heavy blow to the poor girl, and
heavier still to her sick and suffering mother.
It certainly looked like a bail ease. The
Young man's sadness in view of his unpaid
bills, his sudden cheerfulness, though the
debt itself still remained, and worse than all,
the positive nature of Mr. Donley's evidence,
were all against a suceessful defence But I
had hope of getting him off, for the identity
of the bill, unless actually registered by num
ber, was a matter to which few cobid posi
tively swear.
I made up my mind to clear him, if there
was any such thing—even to clear him on a
quibble, if no other means offered. I had lit
tle hope of establishing his innocence, for my
reason assured 'me that Richard, good snn
though he was was guilty of the crime with
which he was gharged.
I S ucceeded so well in assuring Alice Wade
that her brother would be restored to her,
that she was tolerably cheerful before she left.
"You are very kind, Mr. Docket ; and I
fear we shall never be able fully to repay you.
Here are twenty clvllan, it is all we bay; but
GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA: MONDAY, NOV. 10, 185 g.
yon are very kind ;" and she tendered me a
roll of bills. •
"No, Miss Wade, nothing. Keep your
money—you may want it though I pray that
you may not."
She took her leave, after thanking me again,
and I proceeded to consider the ease.
I need not detail to the reader the particulars
of Richard Wade's examination, upon which
he was 'fully committed. The grand jury
found a true bill and he was arraigned for
trial.
All that my poor skill and humble eloquence
could aecoinplish for the prisoner, was unsuc
cessful, and, to my grief and consternation,
the jury brought hiux in guilty, after being
out five hours.
Poor Alice! ' I could not endure the thought
of meeting her and telling her of the destruc
tion of all her hopes and instead of going to
my office, where I knew she waited my com
ing, I took Mr. Donley's arm, with the inten
tion of getting him to makea statement by
the aid of which a mitigation of the unfortu
nate young man's sentence might be obtained.
Almost unconsciously I led him-into Parker's
where we seated ourselves at a table, cud call
ed for lunch.
"It is a very hard' ease. Mr. Donley,"
said I; " Wade's Mother will suffer more
than 11 -
kt it ; but one cannot submit to be
plunderer in this manner.- Besides it is a
duty we owe to society to assist in iTishing
the guilty."
"True ; but after all, Mr. Donley, you may
be mistaken about the bill."
"Mistaken! IMpossible! lam sure of the
bill. It was the saute one; if there had been
a particle of doubt about it, I should nut have
sworn t(. it, of course." •
"It might have blown out of the window."
6 •The window was closed."
"You must think Richard Wade was a fool
to take such an opportunity of robbing you,
when, as you testified, -he handled hundreds
of dollars of your money every day. if he
lied meant to rob you, it seems to use he would
have choosell a bet ter opportunity."
"The fact is undeniable."
"Oh, no : I could mention a dozen plainer
cases than this where innocent men have been
punished."
"'There is no chance for a mistake."
"You might have thrust the bill in your
pocket and lost it." •
"But the same bill reached me again
through my brother-in-law, whO received it
from Wade," replied he, involuntarily- thrust
ing his hands into his vest pockets.
Suddenly I observed a nervousness in his
m ann er, and with both hands lie began to
fumble with ("Teat violence at the left_ hand

hole near the top of the pocket, and was ex
ploring the recess inside of the linen of. the

"Mv GA!" exclaimed he. Iruddenly rising
from his chair, in the highest- excitement,
while with a nervous twitch lie tare away the
pocket, and drew out a bit of crumbled paper.
My heart leaped :IA his trembling h an d no .

I need not inform the reader by what for
malities the judgment was reversed—but it

girl. •
We were immediately -joined by Mr. Don

hart he had acted. lie apologized in very
umble terms to his is ok-keeper.
"Yost Meant right, Mr. Donley," said
Richard, taking his proffered hand in tokenpf
his fOrgiVeness.
"I was .wrong, and the events of this day
have taught me a lesson which I shalt never
forget," replied the therehant. "I shall make
von much amends as are in my p over, and I
begin by raising-your-salary:" -
..Thank you, sir, you are too kind. My in
nocence is established, which is of more con
sequence to me than anything else."
The parties left my . office soon after. The
scene when the poor mother was informed-of
the result, can easily he imagined by the read
er. Since that day, I have been proud to num
ber among my personal friends the members of
the Wade family.

letter Richard had sent him, and was ignorant

A Singular Afiltir.
A Woman Baraing Hersey' to Death.—The
Bath, Me., Sentinel of Saturday contains the
following ,account of an insane woman in that
city burning herself to death :
‘Ve learn that Mrs. Susan Tarbox, wife of
James Tarbox, of Topslnn. who for along
time has been subjeet to hopeless insanity,
put an end to her existence the latter part of
last week, by means of tire. As we hear the
facts, on - Ertduy, about,ten o'clock, she made
nn attempt to burn herself by means of fric
tion matches, but was detected by means of
the smoke issuing from the' room in- which
she was confined. The room was thou
thoroughly searched, and it was supposed im
possible that she should have matches in it.
It appears, as was subsequently_ ascertained.
that she still had theta concealed in her shoes,
and early in the afternoon smoke was again
disessvered about the house, and .the females
about rushed to her room, and found the
smoke so dense they could not enter. Mr.
Tarbox, who was near the. house, ,was Iw
mediately alarmed, and succeeded in 'extin
guishing the flame's. The unfOrtunate wo
man bad evidently tired her clothes about the
wait, as her breast and shoulders were burn
ed in the most shocking manner, though life
was not extinct. She made no outcry what
ever, and though she lingered until the next
day, and was able to converse a little, she
manifested little or no symptoms of pain or
distress.
She was not without method - in her mad
ness, for, it - was found that. she hod torn up
the carpel and packed it round the doors, to
prevent the escape of smoke, which would
again 'lead to detention. When 'asked why
she did not burn herself in the night, she ex
claimed. "What ! and burn ul► all the folks
in the house I!'
lqtililating According to Scripture.—Re

thus stated in the London Illustrated Times:

is perfectly scriptural for a 1111111 to beat his
wile. He is said to have a considerable con
gregation. One of his flo.telc was lately taken
before the magistrate for ill-using his wife;
the woman said she had no wish ,her hus
band should be punished if he would promise
not to ill-use her badly again. When asked
by the magistrate wliether he 'would make
the requisite promise, he refused, saying,.''sm
I to obey the law* of God or thelawe of 111-1111 ?"
As he would
_not give the promise the funks

subject of Scott's Conviction. Ile contends

God, in beating her in order to enforce obedi

Brili.vh PitVit rogitence.—The London
Times expresses its opinion very , plainly in
regard to the present character or English
preaching. It says :* would leave it to
the decision of any one of"
intim . .. , candor,
intelligence and education, to say whether
men, in any other prefessien, could carry on
their business with success if thou took no
more pains about the matter than all ordinary
preacher does in the composition and delivery
of an average sermon. The truth is, that in
England pulpit eloquence has fallen . to a very
low ebb indeed. with the finest theme in
the world before them, with all the hopes and
anxieties which agitate the human breast,
during the brief interval which separates the
cradle from the grave, as their su!)jeets, our
preachers miss their opportunity.".
Important Derixion.-1t is stated the Secre
tary of the Interior has decided against the

that have been suspended pending the decision
of this question will now be satisfied.

using big words. On his farm he bad a large,
mischievous ox, called "Big Brindle,, ' which
frequently broke down his neighbor's fencea,
and eounnitted_ other depredations, much to
the Colonel's annoyance.
One inerning, — ufter breakfast, in preiemee'
of some largo gentlemen who had staid with
him over the night, and were now on their'
way to town, he called his overseer, and said
to 'him :
"Mr. Allen, I desire yOll to impound Big
Brindle, in order that I was . hear noisier°
animadversions on his eternal depredations." ,
Allen 'bowed and walked ,off, sorely puzzled
to know what the Col. meant.
So after, Col. W. left for town, ha went to
his wife and asked her what Col. W.' meant
by tolling him to "impound" the
"Why," said she, "the Col, meant to tell,
yeu to put him in a pen." .
Allen left.to perform the feat, for it was no
irK4insiderahle one, as the animal sena very
wild and vicious, and after a great deal of
trouble mid vexation ho saueoetled.

turned to the overseer, and Maid.
"Eh. !%fr. Allen, did you 'impound Big

Allen straightened himself, and looking
around at the-company, said, •
"Yes, I - didrtut old Briudle transcend'
