"God he praised th.it you arc still living !" and unable to rest:.iin his emotion he burst into teais. "Oh, sir," he continued, "you have taken a had off my conscience a weight from my soul. Though poverty, beggary, disgrace and de.lth are staring me me in Iho face, I am happy in the knowl edge that I am not guilty of murder hap pier than I have been for twenty years with all the luxtiiious sui roundings of wraith. It was my fust and last crime. And I have never been able to tell how I was tempted on that fearful occasion. Now, sir, do with me as you will only, I pray you, be mer ciful with my innocent family." "I foigive you," returned the oilier, ex tending his hand. "I foigive you. You have been fearfully punished already. And as God has seen proper to preserve us both together, let us hope it is for our sal vation, and let us endeavor so to live ns to deserve the blessings we receive. I will restore you enough to place you and your family above want ; and for the lest, I tiust we shall soon have to render an ac count ofourslewauUhipiu another world." I'h dip Sydney kept his word, and with a fresh slait in the woild, and now an easy conscience, the still cniei pi ising Siephen Edwards accumulated anoihet rtspictabio fortune, much of which he spent in charily. I'hilip Sydney died in 1S4S, and Stephen FJdwaids in 1831. Is not truth indeed strange stianger than fiction ? LOST JKM KLS. Some years aco, wiitcs a correspondent -f Chambers' Edinburg Journal, Iwnsad iniiing Ihe handsome rings of a relative of mine, when I noticed upon her little finger an insignificant liltlo ring of pate gold set with a bloodMon?. "Why do you wear that trumpery little thine?"' I asked ; and in icj ly she told me the following anecdote: "The night before my eldest sn was born, I undressed as usual iu my big bed room up stairs, and put my rings into a liltiv vhiiia plate (which contained some oatmeal used for washing my bauds) on my ihessing-table. I had only two or three rings at tho time, and among them was the little bloodstone, which had been given me by a school friend before my maniage. My boy James was born the next morning ; and so i! came about that for ihe next foituight or three .veiks I neither wore nor thought of my rings. However, when convalescent and die-sscd for the first time. I naturally looked for my lings, and found all ihe re except tho bloodstone. Search was made foi it through the whole room, and afterward through the whole house, but with no success; it was not to he found. I never thought for a moment that it had been rtolcn, for it is of little value; atid this turquoise heop which had Iain with it would have been much more attractive to a thief. Yi.trs passed; and James was a stuidy boy of ten, when some alterations being made in ti e house, the fiooi ing ,f my bedroom was removed. Under one of the planks was found tho skeleton e,f a mouse with my bloodstone ring round its neck. It had eidenlly ventured, upon my toilet table in search of the oatmeal, had unwittingly pushed its heail through ihe ring, and hod returned to its hole to die, an unintentional thief strangled by its us less piize." The second is an out-of-door Mory. A young lady, governess in a friend's family, was one Autumn day walking with her pu pils in their father's kitchcn-gaulen. The children pulling at their governess" hands as she walked between ihem, loocncd a ring which she wore, and before they noticed v.Lither it sprang, the ring was gone from her finger and was now I ere to be seen. The garden beds around, which had been newly dug over, were searched, so were the ceiery and cabbage growing near; but no ring was forthcoming. The governess mourned for the loss of her or nament, more paiticul.ii ly because it had been her father's signet-i ing ; and every diiy for some time she and her pupils searched the kitchen-gai den, but in vain. A month aftcrwaid she returned home for a holiday, taking with her a basket of garden produce, as a present to her mother from her pupils' parents ; when!.,! almost the first thing unpacked from the country basket was a fmo hearty cabbage with a close green "heart, among whose curled blades lay the much-lamented long sought signet-ring. The happiest moments in a woman's life is wIiyd she is engaged in making her wed- ! ding garments; the saddest when her bus- band comes home late at night and yellnto her at the top of his voice fiom the front ; steps to throw hint out some key-hole-, as- ' sorted sizes. .oi i: tiui:l hy i iiu:.
