a com?i:ssio.
Most men would licsltnto nt tolling
such n story of themselves. But I ntn
convinced that It will nlTord n sugRcst
ion or mercy toward such as do f.ul, nnd
somo may ho turned nwny from tcmptii
tlon by its recital.
I had heen an under clerk in rt Inrgc
cstrihllshinent for many years. Natu
rally economical, ray saving had at
tallied to such a rcspcctrtblo sum that I
ventured upon married life, quite ns
much as a refuse from tho monotony of
my inexpensive stylo of living, as in
obedlcnco to thoso yoirning3 of nature
which it mnn is very foolish or very bad
nut lo heed in duo Pcnson. Ll!;oinost
men, however, advonttires of this kind
arc not always followed by the comfort
nnd ca'-p and banplness which depend
upon money for their possession. In
tho cotiiv-o of tlmo I camo (o rt'iicnt the
underlnklng, for I was in debt, my fain
lly had increased, whtlornylncoinolmd
not kept paco with my expenses. My
wlfo lacked tho courage to practico (lie,
self-denial which would be consequent
upon n retrenchment of our expenses.
I was dally annoyed by duns. 1 had
borrowed money in every available
quarter, and a wall: in the public streets
was literally denied to mo by tho fear
of encountering some onn to whom I
was Indebted for my housu expenses.
Returning homo lute ono night, JaUod
by n listlets stroll through tho town, I
found tho junior member of tho Arm
waiting for me. Tho house had received
intelligence, nfter business hours, of a
transaction eutcred Into on thciraccount
which required tho immediate trans
mission to an isolated inland town of
several thousand dollars, together with
certain papers and statements necessary
to concludo tho affair. It wns too Im
portant an affair to bo intrusted to the
delay and uncertainty of tho mail at
tho time. Upon a consultation of tlio
Arm, I had been selected to perform ihn
necessary two days' journey. I accept
ed tho mission with alacrity, for tho
reason, among others, that It would bo
such a recreation as would divert my
thoughts for a timo from tho perplex
ities of my miserable condition.
With tho usual foresight of tho firm,
everything necessary to my prompt
departuro had been prearranged. Tho
needful papers and accounts, and tho
Indispensable money requisitoto finish
tho transactions, wero placed in my
hands in an envelope addressed to tho
gentleman who had acted ns agent of
the concern lu tho matter. A letter of
instruction was likewise enclosed.
I remember well tho bright Septem
ber morning on which I started on
horseback and nlono on my jouruoy, of
which I accomplished half tho first day,
arriving at a farm-house, whoso occu
pant unhesitatingly granted my petl
Hon for a share for tho nlglit In its
humble ho3pitality.
Tho weather had grown colder a the
evening camo on. and by the timo I had
reached tho house 1 experienced a sen
sible chill. I hail with mo a flask of
liquor, and was furnished al my own
request, at bed lime, with a small quan
tity of hot water with which to com-
lound a sort of punch, as an antidote
to tho cold I apprehended having taken.
I had removed tho packago of money
from my pocket and laid iton tho tablo,
with a vbw to putting It under my pil
low before retiring. As it lay ou tho
tablo tho address was uppermost, on tho
left-hand upper corner was a memoran
dum, "55,000 enclosed," I was stand
ing with my back to tho door. Sue
cei'dlng a low moments of eutiresllence,
I heard a step behind me, and I almost
think I felt a breath upon my face.
Turning suddenly round, I beheld my
host with tho hot wator I had called for
In n tumbler in his hand. Ho was quite
besido me, and his eyes rested, or I fan
clcd it rested, on tho packago upon tho
tablo. I must confess I was consider
ably startled by this incident. My eon
cern was not diminished by observing
that ho had removed his shoes, and was
standing as ho had como up In his
stccking3. My first Impulse and act
was to tako tho water out of his hand.
Not being qulto ready to uso it, I put
tho et-velopo of money on top of It, as
tho most convenient thing to keep It
hot. I did not turn tho superscription
downward, becausn I feared it would
betray thoHUSpiclon, which I now pos
Itlvcly entertained, of evil intentions
ou tho pirt of my entertainer, who had
quitted tho room as noiselessly as ho
had entered, I imaglnod a great many
ways in which ho could havo become
acquainted with tho causo of Ujy Jour
ney, aud camo rapidly to tho conclu
slon that my employers' funds wero in
danger. That thoy wero nctually so
bocatno oviUcnt boforo tho night had
passed. I recalled tho man's counto

When I first ullclitcil nt tho house It

FRIDAY, APRIL 5,
of t3 being diguatcd with trado, ami
having sought a homo in tho wilderness
with his family, and literally earning a
living by tho sweat of his brow,
Thoro wero but two bed-rooms lu tho
house, both on tlio samo floor, a pas
Bago which commenced at tho head of
tho stairs dividing them. Whllo tho
thoughts which I'havo related wore
passing through my mind, I hcard.vol
cesln tho other bed-room, and quietly
opened my door, which my host had
carefully closed behind htm. Slauding
out in tho passage, I could, distinguish
a man's nnd a woman's voice. At first,
their lahgtiago was unintelligible, but
gradually ray car becamo accustomed
R tho duty I had endeavored to put it
to, nml I could distinguish that tho bur
den of their talk was their domestic
expenses, nud tho general current of
their thoughts was tho difficulty of get
ting through with certain undertakings
which tlicy had in contemplation, or
had commenced. It was evident that
tho man was moro hopeful than tho wo
man. My excited Imagination tit onco
framed tho theory that tho troasuro In
my possession was designed by them
to solvo thin difficulty, and that tlio ro
luctunt man was being urged on by tho
1033 scrupulous or braver woman.
A sudden movement of ono of them
toward tho door caused mo to retreat
into my room. I heard tho holt of their
door mnvul, and supposing it was but
to unfasten it, I hurried hack to my
apartment nnd caught at tho envelope,
Intending to hasten It out of sight. In i
my eagemrss to grasp it, it fell with tho
wafcred sldo uppermost nrd opened!
Tho wafers had been fo fur dissolved
by tho heat and raolsturo as to split lu
two, leaving one-half of each (thorn !
wero three) on tho flap and tho other I
half of each on tho body of tho envoi
ope. Meanwiillo thero was no sight or
sound of an inroad into ray room, of
which I hail seen it was Impossible to
fasten tho door, savo by moving some
of tho furniture ngalint it. I becamo
convinced that as yet everything win
safe, and yielding to a feeling .of curl
osity I drew the money from the en
closure nnd counted it over. There
wero ten ono thousand dollar bills I I
was astounded and for a timo forgot the
fear that so recently harrasscd me. I
looked at tho memorandum on tho back
or the envelope. It was "$5,00O." Tho
letter was before me. I read it over.
It named fivo thousand as tho sum en
closed. Thero was evidently an error.
I counted it over again. Ten thous
and was tho sura beforomo! AgalD
and again I counted it. I had been used
to handling largo sum3 of money, and
counted largo amounts daily; but I
actually found moro difficulty in arriv
ing at tho actual nmount of tho bank
bills beforo me, than I over beforo or
since encountered In counting any sum
how." ver largo or however numerous the
notes. Finally, putting a chair against
t
ho door, I spread tho notes out singly
on the little table, in a row, and counted
them with my finger. Then made two
rows of five notes each, and again count
ed them. I finally, though slowly, bo
camo satisfied I had in my possession
double the amount of money I was ex
pected to deliver to my employers'
cnt. Temptation entered my soul.
Fivo thousand dollars would rellovo
mo of nil my debts. Hero It was within
my grasp. I had but to seal up tho let
ter by ro-wetting tho wafer, Inclosing
but half tho money, and deliver it f-cal
ed to the agent, and ray trust would bo
to all appearances, faithfully discharged.
Once the thought occurred that po:-sibly
it might bo a trap set for mo by my cm
ployers. But their confidence in mo
as unbounded, and the suspicion was
dismissed. I do not attempt to glazo
over tho dishonesty of what I contem-
lated ; but I had been so unceasingly
orried nnd annoyed by domestic
troubles arising from limited resources,
and so persecuted by creditors, that I
almost argued myself into thoeonvlc
Hon that appropriating tho money was
Imply authorized self defence. I would
pay all my debts', get clear of tho world
onco more, insist upon my wife's adopt
ing my views of living, envo money,
got Into business lor myself, nnd finally
pay back tho sum
I left tho envelope unfastened until
morning, eo as to give myself that much
moro tlmo before finally deciding upon
an act which all ray arguments with
myself had not mado entirely rcconcila
blc. Arrived nt this conclusion, ray
attention again turned to my host nnd
his wife. I could hear his volco alono
now. It had heen sounding along In a
somewhat elovated tono for somo mo
ments. I crept quietly to tho partition
dividing their nparl ments from tho
pa'sagu. Tho blight Autumn moon,
which was on their side of tho house,
shono through their window and tho
spaces between tho shrunken planks of
tho partition nnd out into tho p-ssage,
and upon its floors In brilliant bars of
light. It wns easy for mo to seo what
was passiug within tho room. Man and
wlfo wero kneeling at their bcdsldo
In prayer. Tho man with uplifted head
and closed eyes uttorlng an earnest sup
plication, his wifo besido him, and ono
arm passed nffectionately through ono
or his, and her head resting against his
shoulder. They wero kncollng at the
sldo of tho bod onnoslto to me. nnd his
faco was n nltilv vlslb e. Its ca in nnd
pious expression was a sufficient rcbuko
to my unju3t buspleions. 1 began to
listen in time to hoar him cry: "Par-
don, O morclful Father, not only for
tho sins of Thy humble eervant nnd
his household, but turn tho hearts of
thoso who havo dono ovll unto him,
who havo harbored unjust suspicions on
him, Bless such, O Lord, nnd preservo
them, In order that they may turn rrom
tho error of their ways uud seek tho
until of rlchlcousncs?."
ins serious, eurnesmnu mnniy voice
struck a chord In my heart, not only In
sympathy with tho honeat and tender
supplication that was pasilng from his
Hps, but of contrition for tho wrong I
had dono lain by my suspicious. I in.
voluntarily compared him, wlmtover
his good or bad deeds, at least an hum

to mako of myself, by misappropriating

ed, ltowovcr, by tho relief it could ob
lain for me, would not qulto glvo way
to tho feeling of repentance which wns
knocking for admission at my breast. I
had half decided to turn rtwoy and drlvo
thcso better thoughts from my mind,
when I obscrvcil something that was
moving lu a small crib that was placed
at tho sldo nnd toward tho foot of their
bed. Its occutnnt, a grandchild, whoso
parents, they had Informed mo, wero
dead, awakened probably by its grand
falhcr'a voice, roso up, looked around,
and settled down upon its knees, nnd
clasping its llttlo hands ns its grand

In sweet accord, I could not turn nwny,
nor any longer resist tho better emo
tions which 1 had hitherto kept down.
iV rush of repcntnnt feeling passed
through tno with an effect that shook
overy fibre. I fell on my knco3, and
with tho tears streaming from my eyes,
Joined in tho concluding words of tho
prayer.
I need not say. I changed my mind
with regard to tho money. I passed a
quiet night and roso early, hastened
uway toward my Journey's end, so as
to glvo myself tho least lime or oppor
tunity for changing ray new formed
resnlutlon. In hnndlng tho packago lo
tho agent, I said to lilm, that as thero
was money in it, it might ns well bo
opened In my presence, to see that all
was correct, &c. Ho of course dlscov-
ered the error, and handed mo back tho
tuiount that was over, with which I
returned homo and delivered it up safe
to tho proper owner in due time.
It was fortunate for mo in every way
that I pursued tho course I had adopted.
It appeared that tho money had been
obtained from tho bank after bank
hours, in tho presence of tho teller,
from ono of the officers. There was no
loose money on hand of tho larger de
nominations, but thero wore sheets of
thousands and fivo hundreds signed by
tho president and eauhicr. Either two
shcetj wero picked up in mistake for
one, or tno wrong batch of sheets was
selected Irom that is, thousands wero
selected instead of fivo hundred-'. The
notes wero hurriedly clipped, strapped
nnd endorsed "$5,000," without re
counting, and so enveloped nnd handed
over to mo. Tho bank had discovered
tho error, and no doubt was entertained
hut that tho missing money was with
me. Whether 1 should havo had the
faco to withstand the imputation, oven
with tho appnreiitly undisputed con
dition of tho envelope in my favor, is
moro than I can say, but I doubt it.
But tho notes, in pursuance of a pre
caution still In use In some banks, wero
payable to ono of tho clerks, and had
not boon endorsed by him. I could not,
therefore, havo used them, or if so, they
could havo been traced back to me. I
found, also, that tho numbers had been
carefully ascertained of all I had taken
with me, and thus another chance of
detection existed. What an escape!
Upon returning and entering tho
counting-room I handed tho surplus
back to my senior, with a fet ling somo
what of pride, but mixed up with other
eelings not easily desdribed.
My precaution of having the money
opened by tho agent in ray presence was
highly commended, and tho probabll
ity of his misappropriating tho undue
amount as very llttlo personal know
ledge of him was posses-'od by the firm
was duly dlscus'cd. What was said
on this point brought bhi3hrs to my
cheeks.
In courao of tune my soi.lor account
ant was taken into tho firm. I wai put
into his position, and with hi salary, I
saved money, finally got into business
on my own account, raid am now, ns
you know, rich. 1 never forgot my
farmer host and his grandchild j but at
tho death of tho firmer I took charge
of tho boy. Ho is now my partner, and
tho husband of my daughter.

tho remark that I might astonish tho
folks in tho East with it; but before
twenty-four hours had elapsed I camo
near having a calmamlty by reason of it
myself.
"It was in this wise: After riding
several hoars in tho sun I was so over
come by drowsiness as to find itirapos
iblo to keep in tho saddle, and dls
mounting, lay down on tho ground, in
tending to tako a short nap. I had tho
pumpkin seed in ray vest pocket. Dur

caused me to oversleep myself, and I
nwoko in the morning by being roughly
iiurieti over tho ground in my prostrate
position, with what seemed to be ropo
nrouud ray body. I houled lustilv for
help, and ray cries attracted tho atten
tion or two men who where on their way
to tho harvest-field.
"On being relieved from my perilous
position tho mystery became clear. Tho
