THE SWINDLER ILL GAINS NEVER THRIVE. A PRIZE TALE. A clear, bright February day; af ter a heavy fall of snow ! Any one who has visited the Great Emporium, during sleighing time, may imagine `the 'brilliant scene which Broadway presents on such a day. Thousands of sleighs of every shape, size and va riety are dashing hither and thither, in such thick confusion as to make it a matter of inexplicable astonishment how they find room to pass each oth er without coming into collision.— !Vero and there a great omnibus sleigh piled up with hUman freight., glides along like an overloaded steamboat oat of its element, while glittering establishments of fairy like lightness and beauty are glancing by them and around them like birds upon the wing. Tlie spray, thrown up from.the heels of the flaming coursers, flashing and gleaming and sparkling in the bright atmosphere resembles a shower of burniu ,, diamonds; while the 'jingle, jingle, jingle' of the bells floats upon the breeze so merrily and cheerily that your heart leaps with joy at the sound. You might almost fancy that the bright sunbeams were all golden bell wires, and that old Winter with his white fingers, was pulling them ; for very fun. Then, too, the happy faces that peep out from the warm rich furs—the glimpses of beauty and 1, glances of bright eyes that beam on you as they flit by, radient as sun- shine and transient as the meteor ' flash. Oh, what glee is there in old ' Gotham in sleigh time ! Such was the day and. the scene.—; In a magnificent little shell that glid ed along Broadway, were Seated a lady and. gentleman, almost buried in costly furs The lady's face was ! ! one of rare loveliness! and the gen tleman, as ho listened to her animat led words, seemed to be so Much sorbed in the contemplation of her 1 charms, that he neglected. the reins and left his steed to trot along through the throng at his own dis cretion. While the lady chatted a way in a lovely strain, her glance was wandering over the crowd that moved along the sidewalk. Suddenly laying her hand upon the gentle man's arm she exclaimed— 'Look, George, what a sweet face that poor girl has! The object of this remark was a girl apparently about seventeen, rath er uncomfortably clad for the season, with it tliiii" - faded Shawl over her 'Shoulders, and .11, - r light ringlets ; straying playfully from beneath a melancholy apology for a bonnet.— Her features were pale and thought ful, but full of sweet expression, and her large, intelligent blue eye beam ed with touching sadness. The gen tleman looked.in the direction indi cated by his fair companion ; but his ' eye no sooner rested upon the girl than a shade of.diSpleaSure or pain crossed his brow, and giving the reins a nervous-jerk, his mettlesome steed ! bounded fleetly Onward, bearing the sleigh quickly b out of sight of the poor,' girl who had so interested his cum- panion. 'Why,,George ?! .exclaimed the lady what clOyou mean ?: Was very di:;- obliging in you. to start off at this rate, when you knew I wanted to ob serve that girl l' The gentleman stammered: out an apology,'laying the blame - Upon.. the inipaticnee !Of his horse. The, excuse however, was too laine to eonvipee the lady. She was piqued at having her humor thus unreasonably thwart ed, and pouted, during the rest of the ride. When she at length alighted at the tabor of her father's residence in Bleeker street; she thanked her lover (for such the gentleman was,').. with cool civility for the sleigh ride, :and entered the house in a pet, leaving him to drive off, anathematizing the incident which had' thus damped the morning's pleasure. He had another source of unpleaatit'feeling . , too, than the lady's frown. The sight of the poor girl, on Broadway, whom he very well knew, had given rise to re flections of a disagreeable nature, which will be explained in the se quel_ , • To return to the young lady.— ! When she, 'entered her comfcrtable parka', she found a young man stand ing at the window', who turned to . her and said— 'Well, sis; another lover's quarrel on the . carpet, eh ?' 'Why do you talk so silly, John ?' returned the sister. 'lt is plain that it is so,' continued the brother, 'for I saw Renwick as he drove Off, loOking as black as a thun der eloud,.and your own face is as flushed as if you had been scolding for an hour.' 'Palmy I' ejaculated the-young la dy. Then after a moment's silence she added:. 'Well, if you will pry in to my affairs, you must know I am beetling to dislike George Renwick, and I don't believe I shall ever marry him, after all.' 'Ha! ha! ha laughed her broth,. sr; 'the old song—it will be kiss and make up, in less than six hours a gain.' Pirery well, you'll see,' she return ed, as she withdrew to disrobe herself of her riding apparel. Einily and John Williams were the only children, of a wealthy New , York merchant. They had been reafaffin dulgently and received an excellent education , : John was a fine young fellow of twentytwo; had chosen the profession of medicine, and.

Indulgence hadren dered ter a little self-willed, and adu lation had madebetjt little vain and I capricious; but she was, notwith standing, a girl of )fine feelings, amia ble disposition, an4oOd sense. With a voluptuous figtir riven hair, and piercing dark eyes, -, fclassic features, a finely cut mouth, and: teeth of pearly' whiteness, she had reigned the belle of two seasonS,'ltria4en plighted her hand to George Rentiek, a merchant of high standing andreputed. wealth. Renwick was about thirty years of age • a man of acknowledged talent a . nd enterprize withia hamTsome face and manly form. lts , manners were bland and insinuating, Ks . bearing graceful and apd his address fluent and pOlishea:li:Whether - pure aff e ctions or more 11"11* - ested 'Motives induced him to urge his suit toEmily, we need not say here; suffice it that, with warm feelings and a trusting na ture, she was easily icon. The match was sanctioned by the parents, and the day fixed for the 'marriage was ! only two months distant from the pe riod at which our story opens. Whcii Emily re-entered the parlor, she approadhed her brother, who was reading by the fire, and in a voice musically coaxing, said ; 'Come, brother mine,, put by your book ; 1 have carved out an ads: en tare for you.' John raised his eyes inquiringly, and she proceeded— CI saw a girl in Broadway to-day, with one of the sweetest faces you can imagine; but she looked so poor and sad and cold, that my heart bledl for her. But what is more, her fea tures seemed familiar to me. lam almost sure, John, I have met The girl somewhere in good Society.' 'Suppose you have,' interrupted John, what then ?' 'Why, likely it is some old acquain- ; !slues of ours, reduced to want; and, I if so, what better purpose can I de- I vote this toe'—drawing fr6m her bo som a purse well:filled with silver, and placing it in her brother's hand—Jand what better use can you make of your time this afternoon, than by being my missionary.' 'But how the deuce am I to find your poor girl with sweet face ?' in quired her - brother. 'Oh, I am pretty certain she sews at Madam G. 's for I saw her in that neighborhood.' 'An adventure, verily!'cxclaiMed . John, with a laugh; 'to think of send ing inc running after poor sewing girls with pretty 'faced! A pretty dangerous adventure that, I should say'" 'ln sober earnest, John, I want you to find out this girl and offer ,her re lief from me, if she should be in need of it.' 'ln sober earnest, then, my silly sis ter, suppose I should find her, do you ' think that even a poor sewing girl of any sensibility or modesty, would take money from a man Who is a per-' fect stranger ? Why; I couldn't have the impudence to offer it, for my MO tine would certMinly be misconstrued.' Emily was thoughtful for a few ino meats, and then replied— 'But you can find out whO she is, and what are her eircumstances,broth er ; you can find out her residence, I and you haVe wit enough to find some I excuse for visiting her parents, if she has any.' 'You are a queer girl,' said John, drawing her to hiM, and fondly kiss ing her fair cheek ; 'but after, all, this strange whim of yOUrs may afford I Something of an adventure, so hu mor you, for once.' For ones ! Ile might have said; for the thousandth tiMe, for he was al ways bumorin,,o• her sd•ange , whims, as he called them. There was not a more affectionate brother in the city of New York. 31e 'vas 'fonder and prouder of his beantiful sister than of anything else in the world, and would have done.ten times. asmuch to grati fy even her caprice. Accordingly, ter dinner lie received from Emily an accurate description of the girl's dress and appearance, and posted off onber benevolent mission. StatiOning him on the step of the—hotel, opposite to Madam (1 -'s- lie waited the remainder of the - aftbrooon watehing all who went in or out of the fashion- ble milliner's.

One was the poor seivinggirl; anoth er was her mother, a woman of no great age, but wan and feeble from care and anxiety . ; the third was a young man with a high, pale fore head; and face in which deep thought and resoluteness of purpose were too prominent and angular to strike one, at first, as tieing handsome r but' every line of them was indicative of energy - and force of character. When engaged- in conversation, however, his countenance lighted up with anima tion, and assumed a more engaging expression • his glance was penetra ting, and his well Modulated voice thrillitigly deep and earnest. The meal had progressed a :feW moments iu silence, when the young man, who had been attentively regarding the girl's downcast face, remarked : 'You are beginning to look badly, Kate, your work is too confining; it will seriously injure your 'Oh, no, cousin,' replied the girl, in tones, the tremulousness of which contradicted her words.; do not feel that my health is at all affected by it.' Then, as if anxious to change the con versation, she 'turned to her mother .and said; saW 'George Renwick to . day, sleighing on Broadway, with a lady, in great style.'

'Quite possible . , Runt.' 'Well, he is the villian who swindled us out of our property.' 'How exclaimed the young man ; what property ? I thought Uncle Brainard died insolvent.' 'No indeed. The circumstances are tlleSe: When George Renwick came to this city lie was a poor boy, and your uncle took him into the store, 11.6 clerk. 'He gradually crept into ir.

When the old lady ceased speaking I the tears were trickiing - doWn 10.. wan cheeks but the young Man lia"cl not no ticed her last words. He had ceased cating,•and fallen into a deep reverie. After sitting thus for some minutes, he arose, with nervous haste ; and left the room without speaking. After the young man had retired, the mother and daughter cleared the table, and sat down to sewin g . They had not been' long engaged when a slight rap was heard at the door ; on Openingit, John Williams was usher ed into the roOni. He was struck by the pale yet beautiful features of Cath.: urine, and saw that she was greatly in need of air and exercise. He- im mediately mediatel commenced a conversation lupin the subject which had brought hint to the houe. 'Do you not go out to sew, some times ?' he asked. She answered him in the affirma tive. He then asked her if she was willing to.undertake some light work. She replied that she was just out of employment at Madam G 's, and would be glad to get anything to do. 'Can you call upon my sister, to morrow, Morning?' asked John. 'Yes, sir,' she replied; 'where shall I call, and at what hour? ; 'At No.--Bleeker street, any time during the forenoon.' 'The name ?' 'Williams.' 'What! Emily Williams?' 'Yes,' said the, 'yeti:tit gentlemen ; you: know her then?' , 'We used to be schoolmates,' repli ed Catharine ; 'hutsbe doubtless, does not remember me.' 'Will you favor me with your name'!' - ‘Catharine Brairiard! 'Well, I shall tell mysister pin . will ball in the morning, - Miss Brainard.' 'yeS, sir.'

Before_weexplain the nature of 'it, boweVei - ,:we must introduce the youth 'morefully to the reader. Robert JOrdan was an orphan,— His parents had resided in a village; some miles from Net .

The greater portion of her furniture was seized for debt, and she was compelled with what was left, to - take rooms in an old house near North river. Robert stuck by her through all „her misfortnnes, and with the little sum he was able to give her, and the scanty earnings of Catherine's needle, , Eihe was, enab lea barely to live. Robert bad, just a few Weeks prior to the date of our story, been admitted to the bar, and was daily expecting to make au ar rangement to get into business with some old practitioner, 3v-hich would enable bim. to better the condition of his aunt and cousin. What the old lady had told him at the table, that evening of Renwick's connexion with his uncle, had - - made a forcible iin prQssion upon his mind. There was an old fashioned secretary,in his room, and in examining it, he had discover ed a secretdrater, filled with paper.S. A suspicion flashed upon his mind that these papers might throw some light upon his uncle's business. lie retired immediately to his room, and upon' examining the papers, his sus picions were confirmed. They were private papers relating to Mr. Brai nard's atiltirs, and contained evidence that at the time of his death he had possessed a large amount of property out of which, it was„plain, ,Itentick must have swindled the Widow.. Nearly the whole night was Rob ert closely engaged nicking himself acquainted with the contents Of the papers, and When, at length, he threw himself upon his couch his breast was throbbing with' hope and his head aching with excitement., . i When Robert arose 1-ate in the Morning, 4,p,f9g9.(tEtliqJlis cousin war gone to keep her appointment with Emily Williams. .He' , conimunicatedi to his aunt the discove* of the pa- i pers, and his hopes, and begged her to place the Whole affair'in his hands, as her attorney. The old lady near ly beside herself with joy, gladly con sented. Her next thought was to send for Catharine, and communi cate to her the agreeable tidings.— This Robert opposed, and advised his aunt to keep the affair perfectly se- ; cret. He stated. that the recovery of the property Would be both difficult and ancertain, and that it Might be dangerous to- excite in Catharine's breast hopes, the disappointment of which would be too great a shock for her feeble health to bear. The old lady saw the justice of the remark, and, hoWever,loth, acanieseed in Rob ert's Wishes. The latter immediately Went to work with alacrity to put matters train for bringing suit : against the swindler. Catharine in the meantime, had met with a reception from Emily Williams as gratifying as unexpected. The latter as soon us she heard the name of Catharine Brainard, renieni bered her old schoolmate, and with her natural kindness of heart, strove to make her forget, for one day, at least, her poverty and her sorrows.— ' She made her lay aside her sewing at five - o'clock, and inSiSted upon her spending the evening with her in the parlor. Here with her brother, she strove to amuse and render the poor girlcheerful and, succeeded so well, that Catharine felt happier than she had for many months. She did not • feel embarrassed, nor out-of place, in t the splendid parlors of the wealtny Merchant, for she had been reared in just such splendor; and was 'scarce,be hind Emily Williams herself in edu cation and accomplishments.

Her maimnere, too, were easy and natural, although un assuming, as if she had never moved in any other sphere; and John Will iams, in discovering that sae was 'deuced intelligent, and Perfectly love ty,' almost entirely forgot the fact of her being a sewing girl Early in the evening Renwick came in. His surprise atfinding Catharine Brainard Emily's guest,, was manifest enough in his looks to the former, al thmigh it escaped the observation of the latter.

Emily seemed to have an unustal flow of spirits upon this occasion.— As her brother expressed it; she was 'as merry and playful aslt kitten.' ~ She laughed and chatted withliob ert Jordan; played and sang for him, until he caught the spirit, of her 'viv;a city, and became as much at home and familiar as if be had been among 'old.- - acqUaintances. To finish the amusement the evening she set her brother to 'Ay ing the iiano, and waltzed with Cath arine until she was giddy.

As Soon as they were out of the house, Catharine burst into tears.— Robert understood her emotion and 'did not =attempt to check it. By the time they had walked asquare or two however, she became composed, 'and commenced a conversation with her cousin upon the incidents of the day, in the course of which she remarked. %Ail:) , is. a sweet girl, cousin.'

It Was with different feelings the lit , tie party "Sought their pillows that night, from those which had oppressed their hearts for many nights previous. A brighter day was dawning! A few days after the incident above related, George Renwick was sitting alone in his counting room, when leis lawyer entered With an ominous clon ,„cration of countenance, and after a brief salutation said— r.T. have just got wiud of an affair, Mr. Renwick, that will give us some trouble.' 'What is that ?' asked Benwick, calmly pulling hie. cigar.
