“Take this clasp, sir; though 1 am
ashamed to offer it to you, since tho gentle
man says it is so valueless. But to mo it
ia ns valuable as life and I foolishly thought
it might bo so to others.”
“I do not want it child,” answered Col.
M’Henry feelingly, putting the hand aside
which urged it upon him.
‘‘lndeed, sir, you must take it, lor 1
shall feel in somo degree less under obli
gations to a stronger. Besides, I wish to
call and redeem it. Will you give me your
address, sir?” and as she spoke he still
declined tho jewel; sho laid it on tho show
case. . , ,
■ "Oh no matter —but if you insist the
United States Hotel.”
“Thank you, sir, you never can know
the blessings to others thatwill follow your
kindness to mo to-day.” Thus speaking,
and looking upon him with an expression
of gratitude in her tearful oyes, sho left.the
shop, forgetting the golden olasp which
she bad left upon the show case.
“Will you look at one of these watches
now, Col. M’Henry ?” suspiciously asked
iho goldsmith, without lifting his condemn
ed eves. ,
“No, sir,” answered tho gentleman
sternly’and taking up his gloves and cane
from tho counter ho loft the shop of tho av
aricious and unfeeling goldsmith, who too
close to risk a trifle to relieve the wants ot
a poor family, probably lost a large amount
by the purchase his wealthy customer
might have made,- ns welt as his own self
respect, such as it was ! for avarice always
sinks into its shell before tho broad sun of
benevolence. , 1
“Now there goes a man who throws
away his money upon vagrants and thinks
me beneath him, because I keep mine to
support my family,” said the goldsmith,
'looking after him. “Ho thinks me a mi
ser and I think him a fool. Oh, here is
the clasp after all ! She left it for him on
the show case, and he was too proud to
take it away if ho saw it. Seven dollars .
It is not worth more than' five. ’
i He opened it as he spoke, and taking up
a sharp instrument tried tho firmness of the
® “It is good Mexican gold. It might
have once cost twenty dollars. Ah, what
a star of diamonds within it . As in
working about it with the point of the steel,
ho discovered a cavity. “Twelve large

will not come for it. Ah, ah, Abraham
Brochard, thou hast made a good morn
ing’s work of it,” he said exult.ngly to
himself.
Then looking around among hts boys,
to see if he was unobserved, ho carefully,
yet with a careless air, locked the clasp in
his private drawer, and taking out the key,
placed it in his pocket. He had hardly
done so, when Col. M’Henry returned, and
without speaking or even looking at him,
cast his eye upon the show case for tnc
clasp, which he recollected after going out,
the young girl had laid down, but had not
taken up again, and so he turned back lor

engaged in replacing the watches m their
doeskin coverings and preserved sdenco
and ignorance. At length Col. M Henry
“That young person laid her clasp on
the case, sir, which I neglected to take up.
It is a, pity that it should be lost she val

“The clasp, oh, I have not seen it, sir.
She took it up again.’’
. “Did you see her ? ’
“Yes, oh yes! I had my eyes upon her,
and said at the time that you Would never
see your ten dollars or tho clasp again.

just narrated, when as he was passing
down Arch Street, hefelt his sleeve sligHt

behind him, and looking afound he beheld
