He was evidently a man of means. Dareflint, contrary to his custom, his burden weighing heavily on his mind, - indulged in so much wine with Clincl ■man that he became impendent enough to explain his actions and his motives, and his desire to withdraw. “Il you wish to be a partner, take my place.l have benefited the; firm by the fur speculation. I think (hey would not blame you when they heard all. And as you say you have a perfect knowledge of the business, with plenty of capital, they would be likely to receive you;as a partner at the end of the three months. My absence can be explained to the clerks, for the present, by saying that I am rusticating.” Such was the substance pf Dareflint’s proposal, under the influence of wine : and, strange to say, Clinchmap agreed to it. On the following day he examined the books, conversing with the head clerk and seeming satisfied that all was right. ■ Not a word ol Mortimer’s; complicity had been mentioned; and Clinchman, still at a loss to make out the character of Dareflint, having accepted his invitation to pass the night at his house, concealed himself within hearing of the conversation which occurred in the evening between Dareflint and Sally—Dareflint having told him that be should leave the city .early in the morning. Having informed Sally that circum stances had occurred to break off all his relations with the firm, and that be should leave the country on the morrow, he told her that his successor, Mr. Clinchman, would doubtless continue her 'in her situa tion as housekeeper. *‘My anxiety is not about myself, air,” i said she, “but about yourself. Excuse me, if I am too, free, but I must.inform you that I have known all along you were pot Richard Dareflint, nor a real member of the firm. have had a good reason, however, to feel an interest in your welfare, and if you can convince me that you have had any pardonable cause for acting as you have done, you may find me a friend in need.” 1 Dareflint burst into tears. Her look convinced him that his confidence would not be betrayed, and be frankly told her all, incidentally mentioning the name of Mortimer. ! ‘•Mortimer his friend S” was the sur prised reflection of Clinchman, ; who was listening to all. ‘.-Then he must be all right, and this is one of that fellow’s old tricks. Nobody but Sam Mortimer would have thought of Such a plan.” : ‘' “Now that I have t6ld you all upon that subject, 1 might as well add that my desperation at my poverty would never have driven me into such an action, ’ bad I not felt that it had already deprived me i of the hand of one whom I loved, and still love, and who. refused me her hand.’’ And having revealed so much to an evidently sympathizing heart, lie disclosed all in relation to Julia. “ And do you think your love for her' entirely hopeless?” inquired Sadly. “Wholly,” replied Horace; “else I should never leave the country, but remain and nip all risk£” t “ Then you will, I hope, take my ad vice and remain;” 'at this moment ex-ij claimed Mias .Hocklewell, entering from an adjoining ttibm, advancing w-itb a; smile, apd extending her band jvarmly, to Bis unaffected astonishment. V “I have heard alt, know all; and will explain hereafter. The hand that I re fused I now give you, for 1 feel that now I know pud appreciate you.” J “And I ad 4 my solicitation' to hers,” now added Clinchman, himself entering and taking the other hand of the now doubly astonished Horace. ■ - - “ Permit me to introduce myself as John Broadcast, Jr We had heard; in Louden of a partner by proxy Who had so boldly undertaken to manage bur affairs; but. 1 find that all is right— and from thismo ment divest yourself of all and rapli me among your friends.” , EDITORS and The spiritual sunshine which so sud denly diffused itself onr mind of Honwe was so that for a moment he doubted its really. He gaped at his friends for a moment in sc ience, and then replied— “My example, in undergoing a great hazard, has proved infections. Do you feel sure that it will end as joyfully with me?'* j “I *>ave no doubt of it,” said Broad } cast, cheerfully, j “Nor I,” as readily said Julia ! The result fulfilled the ire hopes. Their ! love and friendship were not misplaced, jibe l#Wner by proxy became a putner | in reality in time, while the heart wipityi j intrusted to Horace by Julia, tobe a j richly prolific investment.

An Affecting Incident.—Two offi cers, wounded in the battle qf the 30th ult., before Petersburg,: were going home last Friday by the Erie route. When the train neared Oswego, a well dressed lady, accompanied by a child and a gen tleman, entered the car and took a seat in front of them. As the officers talked over the recent engagement at Petersburg, informing each other of various tances who had fallen, one remarked: “There was Captain Warwick, of the 109th New York, as brave a fellow as ev er lived; he- was shot through the bead and instantly killed.” The lady referred to, imediately sprang from her seat, and throwing up her hands, exclaimed, « Oh, don’t say that; he was my husband,” and she burst into an agony of tears.— This was the first intelligence she. had received of her husband’s death. The child with her was his daughter, «r»d the gentleman his brother. There were very few dry eyes in that calf during rest of the journey to Elmira. Heboism of as Exorw^gp—The £l - (N. T.)
