LILT L ,cicct THE STOLEN RING The cold January 'winds whistled and roared dolefully in at the crevices of the Wid ow Everett's humble dwelling ; and the snow which had been falling since early morning, fihed the wintry air with fine cloud-like par ticles, and beat relentlessly against the mis erable abode. Within this humble dwelling it was almost as gloomy as without. A small quantity of coals gave out a dim, sickly light, barely serving to reveal the occupants of the cheer less apartment. In one corner of the room was a wretched apology for a bed, over which there was but a slight covering.— There were no chairs•--a few, three legged stools serving instead. , Poverty and Want were there in ghastliness .; and hunger, with her wasted form,, presided over the cold hearthstone. - A pale, attenuated woman was hovering giver the tire; holdinc , her almost tra,nsparn't hands to the faint Pleat. Opposite . to• her, sat ,a younger _ person--her dal.zgliter evidently— for the same marks of patient suffering were drawn around her small mouth, and upon her,white,,ll?ne-veined temples. A garment of ,the Ipgst exquisite emhroidery lay across :11c';* lap, upon,which she had been, employed until the early darkness :.had Made work pesible.

But. you • cannot work to-night, Letty.. • There is• no candle, and these poor coals give but a feeble light." Lefty laid aside the-rich-velvet which was to drape the• queenly form of Josephine Howard on her coming birth-night; and opening the door, she looked out into the night. She shuddered as the cold wind pen etrated her thin garments, and closing the door, she returned to her mother's side. " It is a fearful night, mother," said Letty "how thankful we should be for even this . - , • ' • . , . , ..- . . . •:, 4! , " . , • -, ti , 4...

With a buoYatit'step she threaded the _busy streets, and halted :be fore a palace-like building.

"Ab, Miss Everett,, youhave brought the robe, have, you ?" exclaimed the lovely crea ture, half -turning as Letty tremblingly en tered the appartment. Well, let me ex amine it. So you have really kept your en gagement have you? Well, really, this is done very well," she said, drawing forth the work from. its wrapping, and bolding, it up to view, " quite elegant, isn't it, Miss Lester ? Crimson becomeS me so well ! You can go, young women," she added, seeing Letty lingered ; "I will call around in a week or two, and pay your bill," and the young lady turned to the pier-glass to arrange a stray ringlet. .• But, madam," returned Letty imploring ly, " couldn't- you pay me to-day ? We are very much in need of the money, or I would not ask you," and tears,. which she strove in vain to keep back, sprang to the beseeching eyes. - "Quite impossible, Miss'Everett," said the haughty beauty ; " besides, it isn't conveni ent. If I give you your own price, you can afford to wait. I can not be troubled with these matters to-night. Twelve shillings can make but little difference. I will call around, as I said before, some time seen astd pay you." Letty passed once more into the thronged streets. No fire !no bread ! not a morsel of food ! She had twice been refused credit lz,y the chandler with whom they dealt; but food they must have. For her mothor she would even beg. She bent her steps to the chand ler's. Mr. Hardsoul was there behind the counter as usual, ready to attend to his mon eyed customers. "Will you not let me have a loaf of bread, sir ?" cried Letty•clinging, to the counter for support, "I will pay you in a fortnight, in ("%cd I n ill, sir-=all that we owe you." "Young woman,"returned the hard-hearted man, "whom do'you take me for ? I am worn to death 'with Mr. llardsoul, can't you trust me for this?' and 'Mr. Hardsoul ; wonq you trust me for that?' It is enough to try the patience of Job himself." 'Without another word Letty left the shop and went home. Her mother divined all ere she could find words to express'it; and put ting her arias' about the - \veeping girl, the mother' 'and driughter knelt in prayer.— Their 'devotiOnsy however, were not 'finished. when a knock—a. quick imperative knock— aroused them.

Letty Everett slept within the walla of a prison. CITAPTER II The Court houSe was thronged. The case was one of great interest. A beautiful young girl, who had once moved in the highest 'circles of society, was to be tried for theft. Every eye rested upon poor Letty, who stood 'in the prisoner's dock, calm and composed, but colorless as the mountain snow. The proofs against her were most conclu sive. The ring found upon the finger of the prisoner not only corresponded exactly with -PERSEVERE.- the one stolen from Miss Howard, but the very initials of her uncle's name, Richard Elvin ;ton, were engraved on the inside ! The prosecution 'opened the case. The at torney was an Old experienced lawyer, and arbitrary withal. Miss Howard's dressing maid, a brazen faced girl, of some twenty-five years, swore positively that she had seen the prisoner take 'some small article from the table, where the ring had been laid, but a few moments before; and hide it about her person;' arid also that she'appeared in a hur ry to get away from the house. • Mr. Hardsonl testified to the defendant's having called at his shop to obtain trust for bread. He bad noticed at the time•the curi ous 'ring 'upon her finger, which he could identify with the one now exhibited' in Court. • , The case was about to be given to tho ju ry, for Letty had no money to employ coun sel, when there was a hurried movement near the outer door-of the Court house, and a stately, determined form strode into the arena. " Counsellor Harrington !" was whispered through the crowd. .The new comer, after saluting the Judge upon the bench, approached the pale prison er. " The nature of the case excuses any lib erties I am about to take," he said, address ing Letty. "Allow Inc to inquire if you have no one to speak in your behalf?" "Alas, sir," returned Letty, half raising her hopeless eyes to his face, " who would plead for the poor and fatherless ?" " God and justice!" returned Counsellor Harrington, emphatically ; " and I, as their bumble instrument, will sift this affair to the bottom. Please state to me briefly your his tory, from your birth up to the present time." Letty obeyed, relating the most important circumstances in a few words. "Did Miss Howard pay you for your work ?" inquired Mr. Harrington. Letty hesitated, but at length replied, "No, sir, it was not convenient." " Irm !" said the counsellor ; " very many things are not convenient with the rich.— Your father's Christian name, if you please ?" " Robert—Robert Everett," said Letty. "Very well," said the counsellor. "Take courage, Miss Everett." Then, add.resinc , the court, he said: "May it please your lord ship and gentlemen of the Jury, T stand be fore you in behalf of one vrt'oni I believe in nocent of the crime with which the mistaken justice cif indiyi , htals would brand her_ A few memcntiS, gentlemen, and I will suni up briefly the facts of the ease. A young , ten der girl is left an orphan ! In the blank darkness of midnight, death stiffens the form of a, beloved father, and stills the pulsation of his heart forever. Care and devotion, not even love, could save him, and the cold gray of morning looked in upon a corpse ! Even a more anguishing scene, saw that same morning light—a desolate widow ! a dis tressed orphan ! r 'An examination ,of the af fairs of that dead husband and father, tells a fearful story. Unlucky speculations have swept away, with. one fell swoop, his once princely. fortune • and from the bosom of splendor to the feet of abject poverty, his helpless family have fallen.: Such a change, even to those who could look around and count not one missing from their household circle, would be a bitter change !—but to that poor widow, and stricken orphan, with the damp,' cold blight of death hanging over all, it was, indeed, terrible Plain sewing, and occasionally tedious embroidery—those last resources of ..reduped . gentlewoman—are resorted to.

Simply 'because from the young belle, -the owner of the embroidered rebe, ring has been 'stolen—a:valuable and costly Ting, of peculiar and costly workmanship, and, very highly prizedby this young lady, as a gift from an 'absent uncle. A servant, a minion of this same lady, affirms to having seen the seamstress take some article from a table, where this .valuable ring had 'been , placed. The heartless being to :whom the desOlate seamstress applied for bread, testi fies to having seen the ring upon the finger of his customer ! The policemen also noticed the same thing. They place her under arrest for a presumptive .crime, and the cold stones of a. prison, though no colder than the bare walls of her miscalled home and the black night, enclose her ! Upon this apparently circumstantial evidence, you would condemn her—doom her to a fate worse than the grave—make her the despised, the outcast of her sex, and affix to her name the everlasting stigma of disgrace I" - Having made these remarks, the counsel lor began to cross-examine the servant girl, now replaced in the witness-box. " Did the ring which was stolen from Miss Editor and Proprietor. Howard, :Contain 'upon the inside anything more than the initials 'lt: •began the counsellor. "It did not," said the girl. "'Did you have access to the room of your mistress at your own option !" he asked. "Yes," was the reply, hesitatingly given. A visible murmur in favor of the prisoner ran round the court. 'COMAellor Harrington paused, and the hush which reigned in the court, became or pressive. Maintaining silence until the full effeCtof " what he had said should be felt, he resumed. ' And now, gentlemen," said he, "one thing more : This ring, taken from the hand of the prisoner, it becomes my duty to exaMine." The ring was handed him by tbe"prosecu ting-Attorney.- He took it—pressed his fin ger along upon the inside, and a spring flew Open, revealing in the action, a small but life-likeness 'of a gentleman of middle age. He held it up to view. Several gentlemen, who pressed forward, identified it without a moment's hesitation, as the portrait of Rob ert Everett, the faker of the prisoner ! •The excitement became so intense that the officials of justice were under the necessity of stringent measures to preserve the dignity and decorum of the court. Closing the spring, Mr. Harrington placed the.ring in his pocket, and turning his face, terribly beautiful in its righteous indigna tion, towards the principal witness for the plaintiffs—the servant girl—he exclaimed, "As you hope to escape from eternal punish ment, reveal where you have hidden your mistress' ring 1" The voice, the look, the manner was so terrible, that the affrighted girl fell upon her knees, and shrieked out, "Save me from him ! lam guilty ! In my trunk you will find the ring ! Keep him away from we; oh, keep him away from me 1" - - - No more was needed. DID. Harrington looked at betty. Holding her mother's head upon her breast, her calm, truthful eyes, now full of joyful tears, were raised to Heaven. The form of acquittal was gone through, and Letty was released. Mr. Harrington called a carriage, and supporting the half fainting Mrs. Everett, with Letty holding her hand upon the other side, he passed out of the court, followed by the warm plaudits of the adthiring crowd. At the carriage door, after assisting the ladies in, the counsellor paused, and Letty timidly took his hand. " God will bless you; sir; I never can,"she faltered, "but morning, noon, and night will I implore God's blessing for you !" Mr. Harrington, deeply affected, said, "I will call and see you to-morrow, ladies," and the carriage drove away. The nest morning,Mr. Harrington called. It would be vain to attempt to express the grate ful thanks and blessings which were showered upon him by Mrs. Everett, and the tearful earnestness which filled the blue eyes of Letty as she strove to find language fur her grati tude. It was merely accident, Mr. Harrington said, which brought hint to the court on that eventful morning. On his way to the metropolis, he was detained by a trilling bus iness matter until too late for the morning train, and while waiting for, the succeeding conveyance he strolled - into the court'' house out of idle curiosity. The remainder they already know, Randolph Ilarrington lingered long in the hurnble'abode of Mrs. EVerett. The parlors and costly adornMents of gilded luxury had never possessed power to detain him a mo ment from his business, but that cheerless hovel held for him a 'charm. ,fle went, at last, followed by the blessings of the -Widow and the •fatlierless----"nire precious than : gold—yco, thanmuchfine gold." -, - 'he ensuing evening, a •strange : sound was heard at the door - Of Mrs. Everett's cottage— the-postman's knock. -Ile brought a letter `directed, to Miss Everett, atid . • containing these words--" Accept from a sincere friend the accompanying trifle—as a tribute_ to vir tue and innocence." : It bore' no signature, • init'enelosed a , check -upon 'one of the metro politan banks for ,fifty pounds, signed : and endorsed by the inost.respectable firm in the town. After' ranch debate, Letty went to the firm whose name endorsed the check-, and endeavored to. discover who sent it, but they .would give her no satisfaction. So,' finally, she' drew - the money from the bank. • A: better lodging 'and some necessary com- - ferts were iainiediately procured ; and -that. night Mrs, Everett, andber. daughter for the first time in, many ,rinintbs," slept peacefully 'and comfortably." ' The affair of the ring was noised about, and- the Everetts were visited and sought, af ter by many kind, noble-hearted people.— Under these favorable auspices,. Letty, who had' received a superior education, opened a school for young -ladies. • • Four .months after their .removal .to their new abode, the EVeretts were most agreeably surprised bYu visit' froth Mr. Ifarringten.— lle apparently thinking of 'something more important than the mere formal saluta tions his lips-' ere uttering. Eloquence and -1 worth seldom fail to- win, and he whose•fo rensic endewinents -had' been so much ad mired, pleaded not in vain for the object of his'hearts first love—Letty Everett. Long after their Marriage the happy Ran dolph Harrington confessed to having sent the note and the generous gift; because ho said, "Letty was to dear to me, even then to be allowed to suffer when my hand could' avert it." As the wife of the famed and esteemed counsellor, the devout, honest, upright man, Letty is supremely happy.

The effect may be imagined, but as the, novelists say, can't be described. The loud burst of laughter _which followed, served to convince the poor fellow he had committed himself, and his long legs were put in motion at the rate of 2:40. " Soon after I was admitted to the bar, I accidentally happened in. the court room, du ring the trial of some criminals. .After be ing there a short time, a man was arraigned, charged with the commission of the crime of horse-stealing. He pleaded not guilty ; and the court finding that he had no counsel, and that he was too poor to fee one, directed me to defend him. A jury was about to be ern panneled, when I stated to the court that 1 knew nothing of the case, and &Sired an in terview with my client. This was not only granted me, but the court permitted me to withdraw from the room with my client, and directed me to give him the best legal advico I could. We retired, and after 'the lapse of some minutes, I returned to the court room and took my scat in the bar. The court asked me if I was ready. I replied that I was. 'But where is your client ?' said the Judge. I replied : 'Your Honor advised me to give him the best advice I could, and on aseertaininn. from, him that he was guilty, and that the proof was conclusive, I advised him to run and give the court a wide berth ; and if he has faithfully followed my advice, he is now out of jurisdiction.' " The scene that followed must have been tb laughable one, and such our venerable friend asserts that it was. The bench was almost paralyzed with fear, and scarcely knew how to proceed, or what to do, while on the coun tenance of every member of the bar, and spectator present, there was a smile of glee. )ye- Young man l keep your eyes open when you are after a woman.
