I explained that it would be no trou

ed, the gentleman drew out a check
book, asked for a pen and ink'; and
wrote a check for one hundred and ten
guineas upon a small city bank.
Now it was that my lips became a
little tighter, and I found that the prin
mind had bad some cerise for his-sus
nicions ; and thoroughly on my guard,
hook the check, and explained that it
was. a .rule of the establishment that
goods should not be delivered until

the gentleman quietly, and 'without,

I said to the principal as he same up

smiling.

It is almost needless to add that the
two little cases were sent immediately
to the hotel, Mid a discussion followed
respecting unnecessary suspicion, and
.how very often it happened that uwin
dlers passed unnoticed, while hones
people wore suspected.
I=
A month passed, when one cold Jan
nary, day I was in the show-room, and
the same lady made her appearance
alone. She still wore her respirator,
but looked • very pale, haggard, and
troubled. The bold look seemed to
have gone from her eyes; _and as I re
called my thoughts I felt that :I had
thi:j edged her, thr she began to speak
tenderly of her husband, Mr. Rose,
who was lying - very ill arthe hotel.
I bhve brought back the cross to be
repaired,' she said, drawing the little
morroeco case from her rich sable muff:
The ring was too slight, and it
broke from, my necklet. the second time
it was worn, 1. had a narrow escape
of losing it; but Mr Ross found it him
self upon the lawn, trodden into the
gi'airigY I thought I would leave it un

expresSed my sorrow, and promised
to have it seen to at Once.

an unusually trying season, ,
Our-friend was delighted .with the
little bracelet, a gift which Mr: Road

very trying to his nerves.'
„•I placed the' little cross in the'
workmen's bands for repair ; and the
next morning,' punctually at eleven, I
was at Moore's Hotel,%ccompanied by
a porter with a goodly assortment of
jewelry.
A few words .with the manager ".•set;
rno quite at 'date, though my inquiries'
were a mere matter of form. Mr. El
liston Ross lived in Yorkshire, owned
coal mines, and was in town to visit
:the c,ourt - physicia n, -Sir Ealing Dean ; .
had been there once before for the same
reason ; -perfect gentleman; his lady.
quite an angel,--waited on him night
and day.
I Was shown into the roan where
Mrs. Ross . was , .seated,--4hia. time
without her respirator.,, gho arose
with a -sad smile and motioned me to
a seat; while putting on her respira
tor, she went into the next room, re
maining absent a 1 ew initiates, and
then returning, requested. inn to bring
in my eases for Mr. Rosa to see..
• I had left the porter •down staira;
so, taking up 'the two small leathern
boxes, 7 followed Mrs.. Ross into a
slightly shaded. room, wheye,•loOking
deathly pale, the gentleman . who had
visited our place' of- - business lay upon
a couch reading the Times. He was
attired iu a blue cloth dressing gown,
and had 'a small table drawn up to his
side, on which were a bottle, glass and
a carafl'e which seemed to contain bar
ley water. Ho, too, wore a respire
tor'.: but he removed it for a . feiv ma- •
merits to take a little of the barley
water, and then carefully. replaced
coughing hollowy the while.
'Sorry to bringyou into a sick-room,'
ho said,sourteously. :Sorry, in fact, to

much rather have chosen the trifle or
two I wanted at your shop. I tryst

a well known fact that pearls are gams

I paused here, and glanced towards
Mrs. Rosa'. who smiled graciously, and
then clasped the bracelets round her
shapely wrist the necklace over her
fine throat, and placed the tiara in her
hair looking almost regal as she stood
before us.

I believe that-I struggled, but. only
feebly ; forit strange, delicious, ener
vating languor was stealing over me;
I saw things mistily but-still with an
understanding, mind, seeing, though
unable to move hand or foot, that the
invalid was bending over me, while
Mrs. Ross was hastily placing the va
rious articles of jewelry in her pocket.
I saw all that, but in a dreamy, un
troubled way, for it seemed then to be
not of the slightest consequence, not
to concern me.. Then I have some
recollecti6n of ah intensely Cold sensa
tion .as of water being poured upon my
face, while my next impression is. of
hearing a closing door and the click of
a lock.
How long I remained in that con
dition, I never knew ; but by 'degrees
I woke to a feeling of deadly nausea;
my head swam, my temples throbbed,
and everything I gazed upon watt seen
through a mist of dancing motes. But
by degrees thoughts of the present be
gun to take the.place of the dreamy
imaginings of- the past. I started up
and looked around, to find that I was

A IdINISTBit'S COURTESY
Ely used to tell a little story of
a.lnOther clergyman, Rev. Mr. Gay of
Suffield,.which story was a good_illus
tration of Yankee " cuteness.' Sev
eral similar aitealotes have appeared
in print ; but thifil is a genuine " Si
mon pure," we believe.
Among Mr. Gay'e parishioners, was
a well do fanner named, we will say,
Brown, who was especially generous,
in his free will tithes to the good minis
ter. The farmer's errand and dchore
boy, getting big enough to take his
place at the plough, a new boy was ta
ken into eervice- , -a rough ) untrained,
little fellow, I think from the poor
house To him the prompted boy dis
coursed quite condescendingly : you
hey-got into a pretty nice place, I bet
you; and if you behave, thug' use ye
well, give you plenty, of geed victuals,
a suit of Sunday clothes, whiter clothes
winter se"loolie' and not Work you tew
hard. But one thing—you'l hey to go
to the minister's- pretty often, and lug
big baskets of things ; and the worst
of it is, thitlyou'l never get any thing
but thanks - from the parson and his
folks—riot so much as a Arnie' for
your pal s.". •
Johnny heard and pondered, and it
- happenedthat-thevery next morning,
.he was sent ;to the mihistere' with a
heavy quarter of-veal, about as much
as ho_coulcLcarty. Tholva_kivas long
and the weather warm, itnwhen he
reached the parsondge,'ho 'Nirae not in
the best Of tempers. He marched in
to the breakfast room Withent knock
ing or removing his hat, said gruffly :
" Mr. Gay, Mr Brown has sent you
this hero quarter of veal."
"-Ahl indeed, said the minister bla;
ndly, "I am obliged to him. " Are
you Mr Brown's new boy 7 . 't
"Yea,"'
" Well my lad, when you have been
in the family a while longer, your man
ners will doubtless inprove."
• " Why what's the matter with my
manners'" [liked the buY with a look,
of stupid astonishment.
"Why my son they are a little ab
rupt and discourteous. Now.lour way
of presenting Mr. Brown's present, was
not just as it should have been. I can
show you, so that yoU wilLkuow just
how to do the next time. I will per
sonate you, and you may pretend you
are me for a few minutes."
Saying this the minister took up the
the basket went into the entry and
closed the door. Then he kimdked
gently.
The boy haying seated himself in
the ministel'a chair, and put on a grave
and reverent aspect, called out, come
in.
Entering very quietly and deferen
tially, though with difficulty iiresei
ving his gravity, holding his,liat in ono
hand, and the basket in tlM'other, the
minister approacheil his very small
proxy, and said, with a very low bow :
Mr Brown sends his compliments mid
begs that you will accept this quaiter
of veal, Mr.: Gay.
I am very much obliged to Mr.
and to you my fine boy, said Johnny,
with an..,air of the ~utmost seriousness,
but it seems tome that this is a big
load for so small.a lad to carry." Just
take it in the kitchen and ask Mrs-Gay
to give you a:quarter of a dollar.
No body ever enjoyed this story
morechan Mr. "Gay; Oteept perhaps,
Mrs.'Gay who promptly, paid over the
quarter to the clever little actor.

days on the bench.—lndependent. -
