I nmibr & Brown, SHALL "WE There is in Philadelphia a clothing house which has no double iu all the world. The world is full of clothing houses ; and it is a geed deal te say that one is unlike all the rest. First, in its dealing- ; and it is surprising that one house should differ much from another. Selling clothing is se simple a matter, that it is likely, one would suppose, te be done in very much the same way in Philadelphia, New Yerk and Londen. lint Philadelphia is ahead ; and, curiously enough, one house iu Philadelphia is ahead of all the rest. Te be ahead in dealing is te deal en a higher plnne, in a moie liberal way, te give the buyer mere well founded confidence without less of the mer chant's .safety. This Philadelphia clothing house says te a stranger : " We want te deal with exact justice. We want what belongs te us, viz., :i fair profit ; and we want you te have what. belongs te you, viz., a liberal money's meney's money's weith. Onr v..iv te arrive at this result is te mark a juice en everything we wl!, which pi ice '. absolute ; and te let you buy what you like, go away and think ije bargai:. ever, and come and trade back, if you want te. We find by experience that V..'..-. liberality is harmless te us. Of course, you like it. And it makes quick a:.d ready dealing. We don't want you te bring back what j en buy it would ce'.-.t us money every time ; but we would rather you would bring back than kwp. what you don't like. Se, we try te sec that you get :itfuM what you will like the better the mere you knew of it. This is really 'he whole philosophy of our dealings." Is it any wonder that no ether clothing house in this ci'.y, or Xcw Yerk, or Londen, deals in the same way ? Sacend. in its goods the amount and variety of ihciu. There arc ether houses where excellent clothing is kept, and a great deal efit ; but there is none, anywhere, that keep-, se much. The dealing related abeve has wen the jargest trade the world has jet seen. Te supply such a trade great quantity tin: variety of clothing are required ; and Uic-w in turn increase the trade, be eanec ea ci yhedy ii,;cs te c,1('esc out of '!!:'!,y tkings, rather than out of few.

A Story of Chancery Lane. riMlRKK HUNDKKD POUNDS KKWAKD.

William Henry Austin and Emily Austin, his wife, et the third part, and Tliem-js Hurt and Sydney Ferrest Dvsart of the letirth part. Messrs. Sharpe & Floyd, solicitors, of Ne. !)3 Bedford row, shall receive the above reward. 'r2se, 3Ir. jleipetli ; I am sorry te say no news whatever.'' The speaker was Mr. Sliarpe, the senior partner of the fn m of Sharpe & Floyd, whose advertisement, as above, Lad ap peared at intervals in the leading news papers during nearly six months prier te the date of our story. Mr. Sharpe was seated in his speci.il sanctum, te which none bnt the mere ira ira pettant elicnts of the lirra were admitted. On the opposite side of the table sat a middle-aged gentlemen, whose leek of eager anxiety and nervous haste was in striking contrast te the placid self posses sion of his solicitor. Mr. Morpeth's im- patience scarcely gave him time te re move his hat or gloves before he broke out with the anxious question, " Well, Mr. Sharpe, any news of the missing deed?" and received the reply above quoted. " But, geed heavens, my dear sir, iu anether fortnight the case comes en for a hearing ! What en earth is te be done?" ''We cm apply for an adjournment, if you like, but, of course, it is only putting elf the evil day. Yeu knew my opinion about the matter." "That the deed is no longer i:i existence I can t I wen t believe it. At any rate let us make another trial. I would will ingly give a thousand if it could only be recovered. "Quite hopeless, my dear sir. Ven have already increased the reward from 100 te &100. If the deed was still in existence the holder would have been only tee glad te lestere it for a lift It part of such a re ward. Yeu may make up your mind that it has been destroyed, either purposely or accidentally, I cannot say which, and I don't like te conjecture ; but in any case, you may rest assured that the reason it is net produced is that it is beyond produc tion : iu fact, that it no longer exists." "It is all very well for you te talk in that philosophical manner, but hew en earth are we te try our ease without it '."' "It will be up-hill work, 1 grant; but, as our leader, Mr. lii-aas, told you in con- saltatien last week, the case is by no means hopeless. The. deed being lest, and no copy in exigence, parole evidence will be admissible. The diiiieulty is (and it is no use mincing the matter), the evi dence in question will be exclusively that of inlercfetcd parties; and, censidcting the very large amount that is at .stake, that is a. point the ether side will naturally make the most of." '"Ne doubt they will ; that is just what iliivcs me frantic, and you talk of it as calmly as if'veu were discussing the tele- r t w p'H'e i ! phene or the last new planet. I knew, and yen knew, that my pause is just and riht. Te think that I and my peer, dear .:r.. 41 1 ! 1 1 i.l l i lie. nil; it reui ul uuiiui. Miumu uiive i te stand up in a witness box and be in- j suited with insinuations that we are swear ing falsely for the sake of a few thousands. Great Ged! it makes rey bleed boil te think of it. I feel almost inclined te say that I will give up the whole thim; rather than te face such a horrible ordeal." " Kay, my dear sir," .said Mr. Sharpe, alarmed at the thicatencd collapse ei a premising litigation, ' that would never de. Te give iu at this stage would be tanta mount te an admission with most people at any rate that you had no case all along. Ne, no ; you inu-'.t try the fortune of war. The first struggle will net be final in any case. If you are beaten, of course you will carry the case te the court of appeals, and I knew the ether side intends te de se. if we should be fortunate enough te get the best of it. "A second chapter of torture !" groan ed Mr. Morpeth. " I really believe it will almost kill my wife. I teil you what, Air. Sharpe, at any rate, we will make one mere effort. Put in the advertisement again every day until the trial comes oil", and make the'reward .300. Mr. Sharpe shrugged his shoulders. " It won't make any difference, you may rest assured, but as the reward is net like ly te be claimed, it doesn't matter much whether you eiler .300 or .00. He touched the bell and took up the Times, which lay epeti upon the table. A smart young fellow entered iu answer te the summons and he continued, handing hun the paper : " Here, Halliday, copy out this adver tisement again: make the reward 500 in stead of 300, then take it round te the ad vertising agent and ask him te insert it in all the dailies for a fortnight. We'll try the experiment, at any rate, Mr. Morpeth, but I'm afraid I can't encourage you te hope much from the result. " It's a forlorn hope, Mr. Sharpe, I ad mit, bnt I won't lese even a shadow of a chance, if I can help it. If it only brings back the deed, I shall regard my 500 as extremely well invested, I assure you. Tem- Halliday was copying clerk and messenger in the office of Messrs. Sharpe & Floyd. He was just 22, wrote a capital hand, had a capital appetite, and earned eighteen shillings a week, which till lately had sufiieed for his moderate needs. Wc say till lately, for seme months pre viously Tem had, in a rash moment, fallen in love, which he found te lead him into extravagant outlay in pomatum and neck ties, and in various ways te constitute a considerable tax en his modest resources. His sweetheart was the daughter of a worthy widow, who was the care-taker or laundress of a certain house of chancery iu which Messrs. Sharpe & Floyd had foim feim crly rented offices. Hence Tem's ac quaintance with Mrs. Moyse and her daughter. Bessie Moyse worked as a milliner at a shop in Regent .street, and it was an understood thing that when Tem and she had saved up money enough te furnish two rooms, they were te be married ; but as in the course of six mouths their united savings only amounted te thirty-ihe shill ings and sonic old ceppcis, their engage ment appeared likely te be a long one. On Saturday afternoon the young people were in the habit et taking a long walk togeth er, followed by a tea in Chancery lane, a festive ceremony which was only marred by the presence of Uncle Keekwidgc, an aged relative who resided with Mrs. Moyse. It was a family tradition that Uncle Keek widgc had been rather a fascinating deg in his day, bnt he was new very infirm, net te say childish. He was very deaf, and, as a nile, under stood little or nothing of what was going en around him, but every new and then caught one half of a sentence, and invari ably that half which the rest et the com pany would have preferred that he should net hear, lie had a further trying habit of plunging irrelevantly into the conversa tion, following up some train of thought of his own, very often of atv uncomfortable personal character. The conversation which we have report ed between Morpeth and his solicitor took place en a Saturday. Tem Halliday copied out the advertisement, as directed, and duly left it with the agent. By the time he had done this it was three o'clock, and with a light heart he hang up his well worn office coat, gave his hat an extra pol ish and then started off te a centre tree in Regent Park, where he found Bessie Moyse already waiting for him. After some indescribable proceeding en the part of Tem, which caused Bessie te exclaim, "Well, I never, sir and with se many people looking, tee!" they: joined arm in arm and proceeded te. hear the band in the Zoological garden. This, however, they did after a manner of their own. They had discovered that the music was equally effective (and a shilling cheaper) from the oatside of the garden, and, as Tem justly remarked, they did net want te be bothered with animals, se they promenaded up and down outside the pal ings te the inspiring strains of the martial music within. The main topic of conversation, net un naturally, was Mr. Morpeth's advertise ment, and the young people amused them selves by discussing hypethcticallv what use they would make of the reward, sup posing they were lucky enough te lind the missing deed. Various plans were sug gested, but it was finally suggested that Bessie should set up a tobacconist's and stationery business, in aid of Tem's legal earnings. At first Tem was rather inclined te undertake the tobacconist portion of the business himsclf,and he had an idea that he could serve cigars and vesuvians with con siderable artistic finish ; but this was over ruled by Bessie, who would net hear of his giving up his "profession." That idea was, therefore, abandoned, Tem justly re marking that he wa.su" t of very much con sequence. After a somewhat lengthy stroll the young people made their way back te Chancery Lane, Tem purchasing a pint et shrimps en his way. as a contribu tion te Mrs. Moyse's refreshment arrange ments. They found the tabic spread,, a pet of jam and a plate of water cresses : shedding lustre en the festive beard, the kettle boiling en the hob, and Mrs. Moyse , bustling about in the final preparations for tea making. Uncle Keekwidgc sal, ! with his hat en. in his accustomed niac by the lire. ! On Mrs. Moyse's first taking po&cssieii, i some years before, of the housekeeper's J apartment in Bedford row, Uncle Keck- widgc had complained of a draught, and j had put en his hat as a xrotectien'. As the rest of the family did net perceive any j draught, and falsely ventured te questien: its existence, Uncle Keekwidgc, who could never brook contradiction, became firmly ' convinced that there was a very severe ! draught indeed, and had continued te wear hjs hat indoors as '.veil as out ever since. He had never looked with a very favorable , eye en Tem IFalliday, and had occasioned j Ilessic considerable embarrassment: by nt-. tering aloud private reductions te his pre- I jtidice. On the present occasion the first greetings were S3areelv ever when Uncle Keekwidgc, who had been eying Tem ever in a critical manner, remarked te himself, but quite audibly : ."'The idea of a girl like our Bess taking up with such a pair of trousers as that ! Lord, I believe the woman will have anything new-a-days,' p. remark vrhich caused Tem, though "net naturally bashful, te tuck his legs hastily under tlie chair, and Bessie te leek het and uncomfortable, Mrs. Moyse making as much clatter as possible with the teacups, and endeavoring te inake believe that no body heard the conversation, while Uncle "Keekwidgc continued te munch bis bread and butter in profound unconsciousness of having said anything at all offensive. "Yeu mustn't take any notice of uncle, mm." saul Bessie, is. It's only his fun. Yeu knew what he He's alwavs taking euc oil. "He needn't take oil" mv trousers, though," said Tem, and then finding tifat he had (quite unintentionally) made a kind of joke, he tried hard te leek as if he had said it en purpose. "Themas !" said Bessie, pretending te be dreadfully shocked. "Themas, lam perfectly ashamed of you. It would serve yen right net te Ir.t you have any shrimps." " Forgive me this once," said Tem ; "I'll never de se anymore. I wonder whether the old buffer would like a shrimp. Try a monster of tlie deep. Mr. Keek widgc," lie continued, putting a spoonful en the old man's plate. "And I shouldn't break my heart if one of 'cm get cross cress ways and choked you, you old image !' he added iu a lower tone. "Fer shame, sir !' cried Bessie; "a peer, harmless old man like that, and you want te choke him !" " Why couldn't he leave my trousers alone, then?" said Tem, still by no means pacified. His Uncle Kcckwidge, wiie had been looking about uneasily, as if in search of something, pulled a large black pin out of his necktie and began digging vigorously ata shrimp, though apparently without satisfactory result. "Ne, uncle," said Mrs. Moyse, taking the pin away from him ; " net like that. You're thinking of wrinkles ; these arc shrimps." We arc grieved te confess that the geed lady pronounced the word as " s'rimps.") "Then what did he ray they wcie wrinkles for?" said Uncle Keekwidgc, mnch aggrieved. " I didn't," said Tens, indignantly. "I never said anything of the sort." "Yeung man," replied Uncle Keek widgc, with dignity, "you said distinctly wrinkles; I noticed it 'particular. I'm very partial te wrinkles, but shrimps ain't no account." "Come, uncle,' said Bessie, "you knew the last time Tem brought wrinkles yen said you preferred shrimps." " Wc ain't had wrinkles," resumed the old man, quite ignorant of his niece's re mark, " net since that day when wc found the earwig in my Sunday hat. And then they was in a pie !" "Ne, no uncle," said Mrs. Moyse, laughing ; " that wasji t was eels." wrinkles ; that "I dunne about that," said Uncle Keek widgc, "but I knew yen pick 'cm out with a pin. With a pin !" he repeated at intervals, like an echo, fainter and fainter each time. " With a pin '." and then again relapsed into silence. By the way of changing the subject Tem' began te tell Mrs. Moyse hew the ease of Davis vs. Morpeth was expected te come off en Wednesday week, and hew the most important title deed was mys teriously missing, and Mr. Morpeth had offered a reward of live hundred pounds te anyone who would restore it. Uncle Keekwidgc brightened up sud-. denly at the word "reward." "I knew," he said, nodding his head sagely, "I sec thebiil myself at the baker's round the corner. A terrier deg. witli one eye, answers te the name e' Beb. Ten shiliin' reward." "Ne, no, uncle, ' saiu Bessie ; " that is net the reward we were talking about. Tem was "telling us about a paper that was lest, and the gentleman offers a heap of money te get it back again. Five hundred golden pounds ! Only think of that !" " Five hundred pounds for finding a ter rier deg !" replied Uncle Kcckwidge. " It ain't likely. Xet if he was ever such a stunner for rats !" " I didn't say anything about terrier dogs, Mi-. Keekwidgc," exclaimed Tem. "I said a deed, Mr. Morpeth's deed." '"Yeu distinctly said a terrier deg, with one eve." said Uncle KeclrwuVn "md ns for your saying you'll alter it. Xer it ain't t , , -..-.. - ..-.. ,,v be d d, that don't manners, either.77 " I never said anything of the kind !" shouted Tem. " I said it was a deed that" was lest a parchment document." "I said all along it was a deg you meant," said the old man, only catching the last word of the sentence. " A terrier deg, answers te the name of Beb ! Weil, yen ain't found him, have you ?" Mrs. Moyse and her daughter were se tickled with the old man's mistake and Tem's increasing indignation, that it was some time before their laughter would permit them te explain te Uncle Keek widgc that it was a -valuable naner and net a deg that was lest. "Then why did he come a telling us stories about terrier dogs? I don't believe there hain't been he deg lest at all, these new. And he may put that in his pipe and smoke it !"' Tem was beginning te get really angry, but Bessie pacified him by squeezing his hand under the table and whispering : " Ler, you don't mind uncle, Tem dear. Yeu knew he's quite deaf and foolish. He doesn't knew half he says. " I don't think much of the ether hair, whichever it may be," said Tem," deitbt- lully. lie s never particularly amiable ; but this evening he does seem te have his knife into me uncommon." "Nevermind, dear," replied Bessie."' " we don't take any notice of what he says, and you mus'n't either. Have a lit tle of mother's home-made raspberry jam. and think no mere about it. This is the fust pet of last year's making, brought out expressly in honor of you." " Thank you ma'am ; since you're se pressing I don't mind if I de," said Tem, and proceeded te help himself. But scarcely had he taken a mouthful, when he grew suddenly pale his lower jaw dropped, and he remained gazing fixedly at the jam pet as if spell-bound. " (.'loedness graeieus, Tem!'" said Bes sie ; "whatever is the matter? Are you ill '.' . "O.-.ntsav it's a black beetle,' said Mrs. Moyse, peering anxiously into the jam pet. But there was nothing there te cause Tem's emotion. "Ne, don't, it's nothing; I shall he all right directly," gasped Tem. " It's it'u the live hundicd peunde," Mrs. Moyse and Bessie looked at him as if he lt.:i taken leave of his senses. Uncle Keekwidgc murmured incoher ently : Five handled terrier dogs with one mid eye, answering te the name ei' Hei.."' relapsed into vacancy. But Tem did net long cetilinue in his momentary condition of bewilderment. He pulled out the rough draft of the ad vertisement, which was still in his pocket, and began te compare the names of the parties te the deed, as there mentioned, with the piece of parchment which had covered the jam pet and which new lay ! upside down upon the table : "Halph Heward anil frecleiiak Pol lock, Themas 15m t and Sidney Ferrest Dysavt, William Henry Austin. Yes. the very names ! Mrs. Moyse, I've found the missing deed, or at least a piece of it ; and new, if you can trace the rest, our for tune's made." " Yeu don't mean that dirty old piece of sheepskin that lay about here for ever se long, and that I took te cover my jam pets? Geed gracious I7 "Mrs. Moyse, that dirty old piece of parchment is worth 500. But where's tiic icst of it? Fer heaven's sake don't say it's destroyed !"' "It's all up" at any rale," said Mrs;. Moyse. Hinging open her cupboard, "Tlieie is two dozen pets theie, and they've each get a piece el it. that pet was the Inst we've opened. And I rather think' rummaging in the cupboard "yes, here it is ! I rather think this is all tiic rest of it?" It was an anxious moment. The muti lated parchment was spread out, the pets uncovered, and the circular fragments re stored though with some difficulty, each of its proper place. At last the task was finished. A few of the whereases and pro vided alses were slightly stick, but net the: smallest part was missing. Mrs. Moyse's possession of the deed was very easily accounted for. When Messrs. Sharpe & Floed had removed from Chan cery lane a quantity of old papers, which were regarded as out of date and useless, had been swept in a corner for the dust man. The deed in question had. by some accident get among them, and .Mrs. Moyse observing that it was parchment, and be ing a careful housekeeper, picked it up and laid it aside for the purpose for which she afterward used it. These particulars were communicated te Tem while Bessie brushed his hat ami generally get him ready (for excitement had made him quite helpless) te go off te Mr. SharpO's private house at once te claim the reward. Everybody appeared te have a vague kind of impression that it was all a dream, and that they had better sacure the reward before they woke up. With the deed carefully wrapped in papcr,"and in the breast pocket of his carefully but toned coat, Tem hurried te Mr. Sharpe" s, and, het and panting, began te teli his steiy. Ne sooner had Mr. Sharpe compre hended the main fact that the deed was found and assured himself of its identity than he stepped Tem short in his narra tive. "That'll de for the present," said he; "you shall tell mc the rest as we go te Mr. Morpeth's." A hansom was called, and the pair were quickly at Mr. Morpeth's house. "Is your master in?" inquired Mr. Sharpe. " Yes, r-ir," said the footman : "but he is just "etting down te dinner." "I lmist sec hira notwithstanding," said Mr. Sharpe. " Kindly take him my card : tell him my business is urgent.' Tlunnan complied, and a moment later Mr. Morpeth threw open the dining room deer. "Walk in, Mr. Sharpe. Ah ! you have geed news ! I see it iu your face ! The deed is found?" "Yes, sir ; lam happy te say it is and I congratulate you with all my heart, and yen, tee, my dear Mr:s. Morpeth," ad dressing a fair-faced, gentle-looking lady, who was seated at the h'jad of the table. "It is really found at last, is it?" she said. "Oh, what a lclicE! Then there will be no need for me te appear in that dreadful court?" " Net the slightest need ; indeed, I may almost say that the finding of the deed puts an end te the suit. The plaintiffs haven't a leg te stand upon." "But where, when, hew was it found inquired Mr. Morpeth. Here is tlie fertuuate finder. He had better tell his own story," said Mr. Sharpe; "for as seen as I realized that the deed was actually found, I brought him here at once, and I scarcely knew the particulars myself" Tem told his story and produced the deed, receiving the heartiest commenda tions for his intelligence and acnteness. " Excuse me one moment," said Mr. Morpeth; and, leaving the room, he re turned with a check, still wet, reqnestin" Messrs. Coutts& Ce. te pay Themas Halli day or order the sum of 500. "And new, my friends," he said, "sit down and join us at dinner, which you have se agreeably interrupted. Fer my own part I feel mere inclined te enjoy mv dinncr than I have for a twelvemonth" past, though I am afraid the soup will get cold. Sit down. Sharpe. Will ycu sit there, 3Ir. Halliday, and make yourself at home?" Tem blushed and stammered. "I thank you kindiy, sir, but, if you re member, I've partaken of tea and shrimps already, sir. And, and if yen'll kindly ex cuse me, I think there's some one might feel hurt ; I mean the truth is, my young lady is waiting for me and I feel se proud and happy with this piece of paper that 1 sha n't believe its ical until I've shown it te Bcsric Ged bless her?" "Amen, my lad ; and if you or siie need a friend, you shall find one in me." "And in me, tee,"' said Mrs. Morpeth. "And tell your Bessie I shall come and make her acquaintance very seen." Tem and Be,s:e were married a few months later, Mr. and'Mts. Morpeth both insisting en being present at the ceremony. They had made a great pet of Bessie, and given substantial aid te the young people in commencing housekeeping, quite apart from the 500 earned by Tem iu connec tion with the missing deed. Uncle Keekwidgc gave the bride away, anil has gradually become quiie reconciled te Tem, whom he regards as a mm of un limited wealth, acquired such is still his Mrni conviction by his having found and icsturcd te its lawful owner a one eyed terrier answering te the name of Beb. .Mrs. E. 11. 1'erkiiu, t'ivck Centre.
