SELECT STORY.
"honestythbdest polioy.
if p. l'odnioro Tonipntiy felt wrv
much disgusted when the fnir widow
wlio had uonsouU.'tl tu hIi.hu lim iiniuu
handed liim a vnluablo bracelet in ol
der tliat ho miht got a vnlunblu Btono
rcplnocu. llo Was an elderly baelielor
of miserly proclivities', nnd did not half
relish the commission, though lie could
not very well refuse. It had been tlio
mm of his life to marry a wilo with a
fortune, and ns Sirs. Uraimvell Jay pos
sessed thU disirablo qualification, he
was naturally simxioiis to avoid olU nd
inu her.
lie theicfore reluctantly took tho
bracelet to Mr. Hevi, tho jcvcler in
Sackvillc street, but lidding tho cost of
replaciiii; tho missitic stuno would he
considerable, ho could not summon up
courage to give the order. lie locked
the bracelet up nt his lodgings, and
fretted a good deal about tho unneces
sary expense tho widow had put liim to.
Isy degrees, however, ho iiccatno calmer,
for it happened that Mrs. Bram well Jay
omitted to mako any inquiry about her
property. As timo supped by ho began
to hope' that tho lady had actually for
gotten all about' it which, indeed,
seemed to be the case. Naturally Mr.
Tom any did not feel called upon to ie-
Iresh her memory, and thus it came
about that tho bracelet remained in his
possession until tho day fixed for the
wedding was close at hand.
Just at this inconvenient time a menu
of Mr. Tompany's to whom ho was
tinder obligations in the way of busi
ness must needs get married, and Mr,
Tcmpany Jolt compelled to give him
wedding present, llo regretod this dis-
agteoabio necessity very much, because
ho had sintered a groat deal ot uneasi
ness ot late owing to the increase lit his
expenditure incident to his engagement.
lie was also at tho inoinont particular'
ly depressed by tho prospect of having
to pay for a honeymoon trip to the
Italian lakes, not to mention such com
paratively trilling items as an outfit for
himself, and promiscuous gratuities to
every one on his wedding day. It, veil
the consoling rellection that once mar
ried, his wife's income would be amply
sumcieui. ior uom luucu io sooino hum

and in tins unhappy frame of mind be
suddenly recollected Airs Jay s bracelet.
Since he absolutely must cive a wed-
dinrr present to his friend Bullivant
why should ho not inako uso of tho
bracelet I It was a great temptation,
for tho ornament had lain in his drawer
several weeks, and Sirs. liramwell Jay
had apparently lorgotten it. it sue
should happen to ask for it before their
marriage he could invent somo plausi
bio excuse to account for the delay it
returniiif it. When they were married
lie could pretend ho had lost it,
that it had been stolen, and, if driven
into a corner, ho could replaco it by an
inferior article. As a matter ot tact
however, Air. Tempany did not pause
to rellect upon remote contingencies.
for he felt so inexpressibly relieved at
tho prospect ot avoiding itirther ex
pense at tho moment that ho yielded
blindly to an overpowering temptation
As to tho morality ot tho transaction
it can only be charitably supposed that
ho vaguely imagined ho had somo sor
ot legal property in tho bracelet in an
ticipatiou of his rights as a husband.
However this may be, Air. Tempany
dispatched the bracelet to his friends
with a neatly worded letter of congrat
ulation and good wishes. Tho fact of
ono of the stones being missing was a
little awkward, because it showed that
tho bracelet was not now. Hut Mr.
Tempany flattered himself that ho had
got over tho difficulty very adroitly by
remarking that the bracelet had been a
cherished heirloom in his family for
years, and that he would never have
parted with it to any one but tlio wife
of his do.tr and esteemed friend Hulli
vant. By return of post ho received a
hearty lettor of thanks from tho lady,
and also from his friend, and Mr. Ttm
pany experienced a thrill of virtuous
satisfaction at having, for once in his
life, gained credit for gonerosity..
Of course ho did not mention this lit
tlo oplsodo to Mrs. Brain well Jay, and
ho mentally resolved never to introduce
Bullivant to her. But a fow days after
wards ho was considerably 6tartled by
die widow saying:
"By-tho-by, Podmore, a friend of
mine writes "that she had suoh a nice
letter from you, Amy Markhain and I
were old sohoolfelloHs. You never told

course, call on him for an explanation.
Tlio situation was embarrassing, to say
the least, and might lead to awkward
onseqiiences. Mis. Bramwell Jay, in
ier iriturnl dUgtbt nnd indignation,
would in all probability break olf tho
ngagement on the spot, and tho story
would bo known all over London. Mr.
rempanv got no s'eep that night, and
became more and inoiu uneasy every
moment. It suddenly occurred to him,
in the midst of his mental perturbation,
that ho had committed an act of felony
punishable by law. It wns an awful
rellection, nnd caused Mr. Tempany to
break into a cold perspiration. Tiio
disagreeable contingency howover re
mote of finding himself m tlio dock,
had the effect of spurring his imagina-
ivo powers, so that, inspired by sheer
lesperation, he at length concocted a
story which ho hoped might serve his
purpose. Iho consequence was, that
when, in tho course of tho next day, ho
eeeivetl a peremptory note trom the
widow, requesting him to cotno and call
upon her immediately, he was ablo to
keep the appointment, with an outward
appearance ot calm.
Air. Tempany, this is most oxtraor

a verv cold greeting. "Amy hits been

is heart was beating fiercely.
"Very," said the widow, emphatical

For an instant Mr. Tempany h un

quite equal to the emeigeiicy. With
out a moments hesitation ho turned
totitid and produced fiom a drawer
ehiml him a case which ho had laid
upon tlio counter. Mr. Tempany was
so overwhelmed with ti blessed feeling
of relief that ho felt no curiosity as to
the contents of the case. His atten

exclamation from Mrs. Bramwell Jay :

"Eh 1" exclaimed Mr. Tempany,
hastily putting on his glasses with a
startled air "What I Good heavens 1
That isn't the bracelet that I chose,"
ho added, seeing at a glance that it
must bo worth several hundred pounds.
"Yes, it is, sir," relurncJ Mr. Bevis,
in a very quiet, decisive tone. .

gasped Mr. Tempnny, but observing
tho shrewd look on Air. Uevis lace,
which said as plainly as possible that
the bracelet was the price ot tho ser
vico he had rendered, Mr. Tempany
subsided into a frightened and uneasy
silence.
"Oh ! Podmr-e. This is really too
good for Amy. Much more than is
necessary, I'm sure," said the widow,
who had been gazing, enraptured, at
the ornament.
"Yes, Thoodoiia, so I think," ao
quiesced Mr. Tempany eagerly. "It is
too rich. I'm sure sho would like
something quite plain better. A gold

"No, Podmore. I have an idea.
Amy was delighted with my bracelet,
and she shall have it. I will keep this

decision. "It will be the first really

An examination of tho Constitution of
Pennsylvania, exhibiting tho derivation
nnd history of Its several provisions! by
Charles 11. lluclcnlew.
This volume, of over 350 pages, 8vo.,
hn3 been In contemplation and preparation
by the author, ever since tho adoption of
the constitution, ot which It contains tho
text, history and judicial decisions In ex
planation of Its provisions. It is a store
house of citations and authorities. Not
only have the constitutions of 1838, of 1700
and of 1770 been examined, but also those
of nil the other stntes, nnd of tlio United
Stntes. Tlio decisions of our own courts
nre cited, and reference made to those of
other states, In the examination of like or
similar provisions. The several Acts of
the British Parliament, when on tho same
subject matter arc referred to or quoted.
The debates In convention are lnrgcly
drawn upon, and are supplemented by tho .
personal Interest of the writer In them. So
that we have lu his discussion of vnrlous
questions' not onlyltho letter but tho spirit
of the intent of the convention. It goes
without saying that no student of the con
stitution nnd of Its history can nITord to bo
without this book. It la tho only one on
this subject, nnd Its distinguished author
is probably tho best qunllfled man in tho
state for this work. It is to be observed
that every section of the "Declaration of
Illghts" nnd every section of the "constitu
tion" nnd "schedule" arc given, with notes
and references more or lcs3 free ; and in
some cases conclusions and constructions
nrc discussed at considerable length.
A very slight examination of the book
will show the great labor bestowed upon it.
At the head of each nrllcie is pmceu mi
analysis of Us contents, and a quarter of a
page of citation of authorities is not tin
usual. The .book is beautifully printed ;
the text In conspicuous type, and the
notes, commentb and authorities In smaller
letter. This is an additional and very
great satisfaction to the student ns well as
to the general reader.
