I then requested the agent to ask Worden whether he could not give him two fifty or five twenty dollar bills for one of a hundred ; and I gave him one of the notes that was the notes that was not written on the back for that purpose. He did so, and I follow ed him ; and the moment Wordon took bis travelling bag into his hand, and was going to open it, I snatched it out of his hand, saying : " No nonsense, you rnscal I You are un der arrest. You are the scoundrel who robbed Mr. Latimer's safe. I have follow ed you up step by step, but you don't escape now. And I scizod him by the throat. He tried to got free from my grasp, but I held him tightly, waited a few moments till ho recovered from tho first shock, then sat him on a chair, and explained to him in a few words how he had been taken. In the mean time the agent looked through the travelling bag, counted the money that was in it and found another hundred dol lar note with the name of Mr. Bordell upon it. Worden saw that ho could not escape. We found that he had still three thousand dollars by him, aud he begged to be allow ed to go back to New York, where he bad the remainder, within six or eight hundred dollars that he had paid away, but which he thought he could procure in the city. Ho said he was willing to give up all if we would not prosecute him. He wished to reform. The certain prospect of a journey to prison had moliflcd him. I was now about to handcuff him, but ho besought roe not to bring this disgrace upon his father, and promised that ho would go with me willingly. And as the agont declared that he was not yet ready to accompany us, and to divide with me the care of watching him, I consented. The agent arranged his business for a short absence, wrote to the New York agent that ho was suddenly called to New York but would see him there another day, and so we set out with our prisoner to tho nearest station. , The young man kopthis word. Not only did he giveup all the money which he still had left from the robbery, but he bor rowed from a friend, whom we called upon together, the sum of $710 which was re quired to make up the amount. He also gave the Baltimore agent tho ticket and then I let him go to his father's house. Nor am I sorry that I did so, for he truly reformed, and is now living a merchant in a large city in the West. His real name I have never made known to anybody, not even to Mr. Latimer.

To day there wb a very sweet young lady from Brooklyn sitting on the Con gress Hall balcony. 8ho always has lots of admirers a natural thing euough when you know the report had gotten round that she is an heiress. She is a very shrewd young lady. Instead of entertaining a galaxy of fellows at once, she takes them one at a time. Then if one wauts to talk business, he can always have an opportuni ty. A Knickerbocker Club, fellow got hold of her yesterday. He must have "buzzed" for an hour steady at least un til a young Chicago fellow thought be never would go. He despaired of getting in a word edgeways. If he had known the Knicker bocker Club fellow he would have attempted to have joined in the conversation and seen him out. The young lady seemed to like the fellow, and was bound to let him have his way clear to the end. This made it all the worse for the Chicago fellow. Well, how did the Chicago fellow man age it? Why, he simply walked around behind the New York fellow, and remarked to a friend, just loud enough for the enraptured lover to overhear It. " Why, John, that fellow wouldn't sit there talkiug so sweet if he knew what a fearful rent there was in the back of his coat, would be ?" The New York fellow overheard the re mark. His look of interest cooled in a moment, as be worked his back around to wards the wall, as If he was trying to con ceal something. He imagined ten thou sand people were looking at him. He didn't lean forward and look sweetly into the young lady's eyes any more. , He put his hand convulsively towards bis back, ahemed I a few - times in a business-like way, looked red in the face, and then said he expected a friend was looking after him. Then he exoused himself abruptly, and shied off towards the elevator with bis face to the young ' lady.

The Sharpers and the Landlord. CJOMB years ago, there came to this KJ country a family from England, which settled in the nppor part of this State, and opened a publio house. Among their chatties was an old family clock, which they prized for its age and not its actual value, although it had told the hours years on years, with the most commenda ble fidolity. This clock is now situated in one of the private parlors of the house, and many a time it has been the theme of remark, ii) consequence of its solemnly antique exterior. A few days since, about dusk, a couplo of mad wags drove up to the door of the hotel, seated in a light and beautiful wag on, drawn by a superb bay horse. They sprang out, ordered the ostler to pay every attention to the animal, and to stable him for tho night. Entering the hotel, they tossed off a glass of wine apieco, bemount ed a cigar, and directed the landlord to provide tho best game supper in bis power. There was a winsome look in the counte nance of the elder a bright sparkling in his eyes, which occasionally he closed in a style that gave him the air of ' a knowing one,' and a slight curving of his mouth, that showed his ability to enjoy ; while his whole demeanor made every cute observer sure of his ability to perpetrate a joke. Now and thon his lips parted, and he ran his fingers through his hair with a languid expression. It was evident he was eager to be at work in his vocation that of a practical joker. The other was a dapper young man, although different in appear ance, yet with features which indicated that his mind was well fitted to be a suc cessful co-partner with his mate, and a dry pun or gravely delivered witticism was fre quently worked off with an air of philoso phy or unconcern that gave him at once the credit of being a first-class wit. Supper on the table these two Yankees were not as dull as a couple generally will bo at a table, but made mirth and laughter and wit their companions, and as wine in his parti-colored flowing robes presided, there was a 'set out' fit for a prince and his as sociates. The Yankees ate and drank and were merry. . The old family clock whirred and whizzed as the hammer on the bell struck one, two, three, four, fivo, six, sev en, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. The elder looked up at the old monitor before him, struck his elbow on the table and looked again steadily for a minute, and then laughed out heartily, awakening the waiter, who sat just dozing by the window sill. " What in the name of Momus are you laughing at?" asked the dapper Yankee, as he cast his eyes now over the table, and over and around himself, to ascertain where the zest of the joke was concealed. The elder winked slyly, and yawning lazily, slowly raised the forefinger of his right hand, and applied it gracefully to his nose. Tho dapper man understood the hint. "Oh! I understand no jou don't come it over this child 1 Waitor, another bottle of champagne." The servant left the room, aud our he roes inclining themsolves over the table hold a long conversation in a low tono, when tho elder of the two raised his voice, and with an air of satisfaction exclaimed Clocks always go it I Then both cau tiously rose from their chairs, and advanc ing to the clock, turned the key of the door, aud looked within, the elder in a half inquiring, half decided manner, say ing " Won't it?" . I Having heard the clock strike one, they were shown to their room, where they talk ed in a subdued tone, finally sunk to sloop. In the morning they were early up, and ordered their horse to be harnessod and brought to the door. Descending to the bar-room, they asked for their bills, and with becoming promptitude paid the amount over to the barkeeper. The elder perceiving the landlord through the win dow, placed his arms upon the bar, and in a serious tone inquired of the keeper if he would dispose of the old clock. The young man hesitated he knew not what to an swer. While he was attempting to reply, the good natured landlord entered, aud the question was refrrred to him for an answer. " I wish to purchase the old clock up stairs, will you sell . it ?" asked the elder Yankee, while the younger lighted a ci gar, and cast his eye over the columns of the Bunday Morning Ktvct, which lay upon the table. The landlord, who had set no great val ue upon the clock, except as an heirloom, began to suspect that it might possess the virtue of Martin Haywood's chair, and be filled with dollars,and,almost involuntarily, they then ascended to the room which con tained it. "The fact is," said the Yankee, " I once won a hundred dollars with a clock like that." , "A hundred dollars 1" ejaculated the landlord. ' ' ', " ' ' , ' " Yes t yon see there was one like it in a room over in the Jerseys, and a fellow bet me he could keep bis forefinger swing ing with the pendulum for an hour, only saying, ' Here she goes, there she goes.' He could ' not do it. I walked the money out of him in no time." ' ; " You did ? you couldn't walk it out of me. I'll bet you fifty dollars I can do it on the spot." " Done !" ciied the Yankee. The dock struck eight, and with his back to a table and the door, the landlord poppod into a chair. "Here she goes, there she goes I" and his finger waved in a curve, his eyes fully fixed on the pen dulum. The Yankees behind him interrupted " Where's the money? Plank the money." The landlord was not to be made to lose in that way. His forefinger slowly and surely went with the pendulum, and his left disengaged his purse from his pocket, which ho threw behind him on tho table. All was silent. The dapper man at length exclaimed, " Shall I dopositthe money iu the hand of tho bar-keeper ?" " Here she goes, thore she goes !" was the only an swer." One of tho Yankees went down into the room. The landloid heard him go down, but he was not to be disturbed by that trick. Presontly the bar-keeper entered, and touched him upon his shoulder, asked, " Mr. B., are yon crazy? What aro you doing?" " Here she goes, thoro she goes 1" he re sponded, his hand waving his forefinger as before. The bar-tendor rushed dowrf Btairs ; he called one of tho noi ghbors and aBked him to go up. They ascended, and the neighbors seiz ing him gontly by the collar, and in an im posing voice said, 'Mr. B., do not sit here. Como, come down stairs j what can pos sess you to sit here ?" "Here she goes, there she goes!" was tho solo reply, and the solemn face and the slowly moving finger settled the mat ter. " He is mad," whispered the man in a lowvoico. " We must go for the doctor." The landlord was not to be duped ; he was not to bo deceived, although the wholo town came to interrupt him. " You had bettor call up his wile," ad ded the friend. "Here she goes, there she goes !" repeat ed the Landlord, and .his baud moved on. In a minute his wife entered, full of agony of soul. " My dear," she kindly said, " look on mo, it is your wife who speaks !" " Here she goes, there she goes 1" aud his hand continued to go, but his wife wouldn't go; she would stay, and he thought she was determined to conspire against him and make him lose the wa ger. She wept, and she continued, " What cause have you for tin's ? Why do you do so ? Has your wife" " Here she goes, there she goes," and his finger seemed to be tracing her airy progress, for anything she could ascertain to tho contrary. " My dear," she still continued, thiuking that the thought of his child, whom he fondly loved, would tend to restore him, "shall I coll up your daughter ?" " Here she goes, there she goes !" the landlord again repeated, his eyes becom ing more and more fixed and glazed from the steadiness of the gaze. A slight smile played upon his face, as tho thought of the many unsuccessful resorts to win bim from his purpose, and of his success in bathing them. The physician entered. He stood by the side of the busy man. He looked at him in silence, shook his head and to the anxious inquiry of the wife, answered : "No, madam, the fewer persons here the better. The maid had better stav awav." "Here she goes, there Bhe goes," yet again and again iu harmony with the waving finger issued from the lips of the landlord. " A consultation, I think, will be nec essary," said the physician. "Will you run for Dr. W ms ?" The kind neighbor buttoned up his coat and hurried from the room. In a few minutes Dr. W ms with another medical gentleman, entered. " This is a sorry sight," said he to the doctor present. " ' ' " Indeed it is, sir,',' was the reply. " It is a sudden attack, one of the " " nere she goes, there she goes !" was the sole reply. The physicians stopped into a cornor and consulted together. " Will you be good enough to run for a barber ? We must have his head shaved and blistered,',' said Dr. W ms. "Ah! poor, dear husband," said the lady ; " I fear he will never1 again know his miserable wife." " Here she goes, there she goes !" said the landlord, with a little more emphasis, and with a more nervous, yet determined waving of the finger, in concert with the pendulum, for the minute band was near the twelve that point which was to put fifty dollars into his pockets, if the band ar rived at it without bis suffering himself to be interrupted. - ' 1 ' The wife in a low, bewailing tone con tinued her utterance, "Not never; nor his daughter -" ' "Here she goes, there she goes I" almost shouted the landlord, as the minute hand advanoed to the desired point. 1 ' ' The barber arrived ; he was naturally a tulkative man, and when' the Doctor made some casual remarks, reflecting upon the quality of the instrument ho was about to use, he replied : "Ah, ah) Monsieur you say very bad razor. 'Tis beautiful, eh? look, look, very fine, isn't she ?" " Here she goes, thore she goes I" scream ed the landlord, bis hand waving on, and his face gathering a Bmile, and his whole frame in readiness to be convulsed with joy. The barber was amazed. " Here she goos, there she goes 1' he re sponded, in the best English he could use, " Vare ? vare Bhall 1 begin ? Vat is dat he says ?" "Shave his head at once 1" Interrupted the Doctor, while the lady Bank into a chair. " Here Bhe goes, thore she goes, for the last time !" cried the landlord, as the clock struck the hour of nine, and he sprang from his seat in an, ecstacy of de light, screaming at tho top of his voice, as he skipped about the room, "I've won it I've won it." " What ?" said tho bar-keeper. " What?" echoed tho doctors. " What?" re-echoed his wife. "Why, tho wager, fifty dollars!" But casting his eyes around the room, and missing the young men who had induced mm to watch the clock, he asked the bar-keeper : " Where are thoso young men who sup pod here last night, eh ? quick, where are they?" " They went away in their wagon nearly an hour ago, sir, was the reply. The truth flashed like a thundor bolt through his mind. They had taken his pocket book, with one hundred and soven dollars therein and decamped, a couplo of swindling sharpers, with wit to back them! The story is rifo on all men's tongues in the neighborhood whore this affair occur red, and the facts aie not otherwise than here set down ; but we regret that the worthy landlord, in endeavoring to over take the rascals, was thrown from his wagon, aud so severely injured as to be confined to his room at tho nresent mo ment, where he can watch the pendulum of bis clock at his leisure. Funny Courtship. MR G. GERAED.now of Philadelphia, but formerly American Consul at Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, commu nicates to the Preu of the former city the following amusing reminiscence of his African consular experience : " There is a singular custom among tho farmers how to get a wiflp. If you desire to got married you should first mako inquiry whether the lady you love has a hoiBe ; if bo, you must ask her whether she has a horse for sale. If she says 'No.' then you had better quit the house at once. She does not like you. But, if on the contrary she says Yes,' it is a good sign, but she will ask you a very high price. If the amount named is paid on the spot, the engagement is concluded, as if marriage was consummated by the person. " Ou my arrival at the Capo, I did not know of this custom. I wanted to pur chase a horse, and I was informed by an old Dutch resident that widow had one to sell. I followed tho address given, and soon arrived at the door of the widow (who, by the way, was not bad looking). I asked her whether she had a horse to sell. She looked at mo very sharp ; then she asked me whether I had some letters of In troduction. I said that I was the Amer ican Consul and would pay cash for the horse. "In this case," said she, " letters are not necessary." I naid down the mm demanded ; then, after taking a cup of couee, sue sent her horse by her groom, aud both accompanied mo home. On the road, the groom asked me a thousand ques tions. "Master," said he, "will my mis tress go live with you in town, or will you come live with us? You will love my mis tress, for she was very kind to my old master, (laughing). " Where will the wed ding be? (looking at me and laughing). " Truly, I thought, ' " the poor follow had drank too much, or he is imbecile." I felt sorry for him. When I arrived home I found many people at my door congratulat ing me, not for the horse, but for the ac quaintance of the widow. "Truly," said one, "you have' been very successful." " She is very rich," said another. I really did not know what it all meant, and I be gan to be very uneasy, when, to my very great surprise a lady alighted on my steps, and at once I recognized the widow ! She very coolly asked me when I dosired to have the oermemony of the wedding per formed. Then, indeed, I fully perceived the scrape in whloh I was, and told her rraukly it was a horse I wanted, and not a wife. " What," said she, do you mean to act thus to a lady like me ? If so, I shall send back for my horse, and will repay you the money." In a few hours her groom was at the door with the money. I gladly gave back the horse, thankful to have thus escaped. A few weeks after, however, the widow was married ; a more ambitious man bad bought her horse."
