rent a cottage, his principal wear:Won being that
of an agricultural day titterer.

rileerlul and make him so, but it was but too cleat
to him that all was elTon, and that the creature who
claimed, and had ever had, hialemlerest care, was
smiting under the cruel affliction.
The mislarturies that had Men upon him in his

do so on the score that heconkl,get plenty of work
but never remained long in one employ. This
went on thus, until poor Miles and his hollering,
patient wife were reduced to the last st a ge of des
titution.
Since his accossion to the estate, Ambrose Cop
pin had nightly frequented the parlor of the Green
Dragon, nor did he ohen quit it sober. When in
his drunken trouts he was accustomed to boast of
his power and once declared he would drive that
villain, Miles Edwards from theneighborhood and

At night, !tiles returned somewhat lite to hi

The sun had not long risen before_alorg knock

claimed admittance. Upon therbolts being with
drawn, Ambrose Coppin and his man, Wilson, (a
fit instrument in such hands,) rudely thrust them
selves in demanding to search the place for some
plate said to have been stolen from Coppin's
house, the night before. Conscious of -innocence,
Edwards made no demnr but led the way to every
place in his homestead, his wife trembling wi h
agony knowing as she did the wickedness of both
intruders. •

over a sack in a small outbuilding where Miles
kept his spade and garden implements, and' hold

" Wine's this, indeed replied his master.

' said she, the tears gushing down her cheeks, " if
you are liniment, trust in God who has never yet

of Miles Edirards, as be spoke, or rather screamed
—"lv, Rosy - , rr I am innocent r and this rmrn your
tonzue!" and for card a few spaces, he
fed pea eless on the floor.
, Regardless of the scene that was passing. Cop
pin and his man continued their search, and discos--
lered several other articles of plate, and, under some
bushes at the bottom of the garden, found two pick
lock keys.
Scarcely sensib:e of what was passing, Miles
Edwards was conducted before a magistraie, and
upon examination, the evidence appearing clear
that be had been from home unusually - late the night
ltefore—that Coppm's door had been opened by
picklock keys, and pwperty stolen—that the prop
crty found in Mites Edward's opthouse was inden
tilled and sworn to, and that the locks could be
easily opened by the keys friend in his garden,—
he was committed to Dieu-gate for nial, for an of
fence the penalty of which was death.
Removed to a jail, he had no time to ponder
upon the wicked scheme that, he believed, had
been contrbred by Coppin forbis trim. The sym
pathy of his neighbors teas aroused for his mount
ing wife, who, after his short and emphatic appeal
to hew, had never once doubted his innocence, strum
a the presumptions tr„,ftiost him were. They aided
her as tar as their small means would allow arid
provided such comforts as they could for the en.
happy prisoner.
Rose bad several interviews with her husband,
rinsing his confinement, and strove to assure
him
that all might be well. '• lie dares not," said she,
" no, bedares not peril his immortal soul by' swear
