Benoit, however, neither spoke much or drunk much; only be itreline4 . his head a little heavily, and slept sounder than usual. The nex. morning, he perceived that the door of _his workshop had been opened ; this astonished him, for he was sure of having closed it. - lie went the granary, and found the wit:dow open ; he hail also shut this. He also perceived that a sack of beans had been removed from the place where it had been pin, Ile said nothing to any cm; for lid was not ac custotneilto speak of things for which he could not account, but he thought deeply of all this. Going out to his work, he found rumor busily at Work in the town ; nothid,g was spoken of but the robbery which had been committed during the night. They raid that they had seen, in the evening, suspicious lookirg. men in the .ttvems; they particularly de signaled that in which Trappe and the two others had drunk. Fie soon perceived that they began to avoid speaki g before him, and that they looked upon him with an evil eye. He called to mind that the prreediipg evening, Trappe, departing from the to rcrn, followed him home, jesting, I:NqUie in Mind ; that he had gone up into the chamber where his wife and sonrem, and laughing, forced them to drink two gla4ses of wire, apparently to intoxicate them ; he recollected also, that having gone to the Window after Trappe hid descended, be was as toith.lied not ig„see, him depart;and believed that he had already departed.. From all this he concluded, that Trappe had con. cealed himself in his house, and that it was he who had opened his door and hii.w•indow to the -robbers. Ile went to find him, and aid to him, " It is you who bare opened the Uintlow of my granary, and the door of my shop." Trappe pretenied not to understand him, and to assume anger; but he was discontented' at the un expected accusation: , " You.hare saved my life," said Benoit to- Wm, "I will not denounce you; but if you have corn ;pitted this crime, depart, and never let me see you again,"or I shall not refrain front denouncing you " . , The next morning Trappe disappeared. This was the same day that Benoit was arrested. They. asked if it was he who had opened his window and his door; he answered in the negative. He was asked if he knew who hail opened them he said that - he did not know; for in tact he was not certAipthat it was Trappe. They asked him if he suspPcted any one. He replied that as they had arrested him on suspicion, his suspicions might cause another to be arrested, who deserved it no more than he, and even if he had any, he would not disclose them. In fact, he answered truly to ' all questions which trete proposed to him, bat with out adding anything which might inculpate Trappe. After having investigated this affair, as they had no proof against him, they were obliged to-set him at liberty, but they remained firmly convinced that it was he who Int&opened to the robbers. He per ceived this from the manner in whichtheyannotm. cell to him that he was free, and from expressions he had heard when crossing the court yard. He appeared not at ail moved. In entering his • Louse, after having embraced •his wife, who was :ran:Toned with joy dq seeing him again, he em braced his son and said to him calmly: "Sylvester. you will hear it said everywhere, that althriugh I have been acquitted. I am not less guilty, and that I opened to the robbers; bw be not disturbed, for this will not always last." His wife was terrified at n-hat he said, but would not believe him and departed to receive the con 4urt:ulacinin , of her neighbor& 'Some turned their liacks ri,.tin her wiihnut saying 'anything ; others at her wish an air or pity. fthrogging their to sny. poor,wcwrikan! it is nut her n. even declared what they thought u/ kitei Lasing stiUered these insulh from three nt iimr..lto ro-errreil her own linnm.* weeping and Fotitiiil ' that they could no longer lire in the to k n, that it was absolutely necessary to leave it."

" Ah !". said he, ertering, to spite of them, «the point is now to save your house ; you will after wards find whether anything is stale or not. He ascended alone to the top of the house, which every one else had abandoned. In crossing'arhare her he saw a watch left by • the chimney: he put it in his pocket for fear others should take it; but thinking afterwan's that he might perish in the un dertaking, and that, if they -found him with the watch they could take him for a robber, he con- cealed it in a hole in the wall, He climbed to the place whence the fire was approacming, stationed himself on the part which had begun to bnrn, cut it oft by blows of the hatchet, interrupted all the commurication, and allerwarai descended. Ile met the master of the house and showed him where he had concealed the watch. 4, !concealed it," said be to him, "Vecause it Might hare been taken, and then would hare thought it eras 1." So many marks of probity and sincerity and the regular conduct of Benoit, continually exposed to the gaze of every one, at length began to make an impression in his 'favor. A-rich man came into the country in order to erect three extensive buildings, which he intended for a manufactory. He inquired for the best car penter : it was impossible not to point out Benoit as the best. and he employed him. He was so will satisfied with his intelligence, his zeal and his probity, that be declared that. Benoit was an honest man. As he was a man of great influence, this pro duced a good deal of eflect. The re?utation of Benoit as a skilful workman, eaended itself throughout the province: he was entrivued with extensive enterprise ;le was even enabled to undertake some, though less extensive, on his own account. This occasioned him, neces sarily, to transact business with it great many per. sons, and all those with whom he transacted any formed a fa arable opinion of hi's character. • Re was no longer watched ; nevertheless he writ' still sometimes asked how it happened that his door and windows were found open for the passage of the robbers. Many believed that he knew it. The rich man who had employed him in the building of his manufactory., and who felt interested in his welfare, told him one day that he oughtto endenv or to explain this matter. " It will be useless," said Benoit, "when I shall have entirely established my reparation as an lion- est man." They at length ceased to think of this matter, in which they felt sure he had no part. One of the robbers was taken several months after in the coun try, and made full confession of the whole transac tion. Benoit was congratulated that the robber: had at length been discovered, and that he had been freed from all suspicion. " This did not disturb me mods" said he: a I well knew that an jionest man could not always pass for a rogues" Asccoorc or' PATRIC% Herne.--We heard an aneedote'of the celeblated Patrick Henry, a fete days ago, which as it has never been made public, we pnweed to lay before our readers.—Henry, it aopearA, was accustomed to walk sometimes twenty and thirty melee to attend court and on one ozea sion, as he teas truzing along towards Winches ter. Va., for that purpose, he was overtaken by a yonng lawyer who had recently been admitted to the bar.--Having heard of Henry's great success as a lawyer, he naturally wished to procure from him all the information possible in relation to law Mat ters Ile propounded many questions, and among others,•be Inquired, " What is the most important thing in ermducting a snit!" "The most important thing in conducting a suit," said Henry with the greatest gravity imaginable, "is evidence!" The young lawyer who wag well aware of this fact as Henry himself. concealed his disappointment. and, as they were nearing a village, invited Henry to dine with him, saying that he would pay all the .ex pcnscs. Having arrived, he requested amine host to prepare some delicacies for the repast and ro quested Henry to do the same. An excellent din ner was soon placed before them and eyerything passed of most pleterandy,:—The meal.kaished, the young lawyer settled .for only one Will Of the ex (tenses, and told him to • look for the - baßance to Henry, " What !"'said the renowned lawyer' in great astonishment, "did you not say that you would par all the expenses!"
