r she changed the subject, and soon with
drew
Leaving Miss Bucklewell to draw Her
own conclusions; from that interview, let
us give attention to the store for a while.
Each day. Da reflint ' became more
| uneasy in his false position, ; His cooler
j judgment made him more keenly appre
; ciate the peril as well as the disreputa
i bility" of his eccentric friend, and he
I yearned to abandon it rather; than await
j the issue, as Mortimer advised.
| Fate, ere long, seemed to favor his
| wish for, one day, apparently by chance,
he fell into the society of a. stranger, who"
styled, himself Thomas Clinchman, who
expressed a strong desire to become a
partner in the business. 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

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 richly prolific investment.
Josh Billings ox tub Dbar.—Josh
Billings is out with an “official” on the
draft. He says:
Widder wimmin, and there only ton, is
xemt, provided the widder’s husband has
already served two years in the war, and
is wiMxng’ to go in again; Wave the Spreme
Cort has decided this forever. '
Once: Xf a man should run away .with
his draft, he probably would*! ever be al
lowed to >stand the draft again; this
lukasevear at first, but the more you luk
at it thd more you can see the wisdom
into iL
Once moarly: Xlinpts age those who
have been drafted into the Sait prizzen
fur trying to get an honest livin by sup
portin 2 wives tu and unsound on the
goos: also,, all nnspaper comspondints
and fools in gineraL
Once moarly again: No substitute will
be ackcepted who is less than three or
moar than ten feet high ; he must know
bow to chaw tobacker and drink poop
whiskee, and mus’nt be, afeerd o£ the
nor the rebels. Moral character ajn’t
required, as the Government furnishes
that and rashuns, ’ '
Conclusively: A person can’t-be draf
ted more than twice in two places with
out his consent; but any man bug right
to be drafted at least onct. I don’t tbfnfc
even a writ of habeas corpus can deprive
a man of this blessid privilege.
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.
