THE PIOUS BOBBER.
Daring my twenty-fiVe years of ac
tual service as detective, I have found
many who have stolen the livery of
heaven to serve the devil in.
One morniag I stepped into Chief
Matsell's office, having just returned
from the West, when I was accosted
by the Chief :,
" Hallo, Hairy 1 glad to see you ;
there is work ahead."
• "What's up, now ? another mur- -
der f" I end aimed. ,A
"No, its a robbery ; or; as I should
say, a series of robberies."
" 'Where away ?"
"Bond street."
" What, not on Bond street I" I
cried, astonished, for during my ab
sence I bad heareof frequent robber
ies being committed on that particu
lar street.
"Yea Harry tbis is the tenth rob
bery there inside of two weeks," re
plied Mataill.
"Can it be fathomed ?"
" I know not ; in fact we had no
one to work it up.""
" Where's Bolt and Knight ?"
- "On that murdercase in Newark,"
"And Charley Ross ?"
' Be" dims just finiehed the Chatter
town forgery case, and is expected
here • t6:morraw. So, Howard, Yon
will ha4v to work up this one."
" Plfttry it, but I - cartnot go to
werk:Aill morning, for I must rest."
"All right," returned the Chief,
aild..l left the headqnarters.
The many robberies that had taken
place on Bond street were - very mys
terious, and no-trace could - be had of
the depredator, for they seemed to
have been committed by one person.
Detectivesirodi Philadelphia worked
at the case a while,bnt went home no
wiser than they came. •
I had worked up manydifficult cas
es, and was considered a first-rate de
tective--that is by our chief—and
nearly all the mysterious and intri
cate work was placed in my hands.
As I entered the. headquarters the
succeeding morning I was hailed by
Mataell :
"Another robbery last night Har
ry.fl
"Not on Bond street, I hope "
"Yes it is there again."
"The devil," I cried, perfeCtly as
tonished.
"It is either his satanic majesty or
his imps," said the chief, a smile upon
his face. •
"Who was visited last night 1"
"Mrs. Durant, the. Irish widow.—
She was here this thanking, and said
that she had been robbed of valuables
amounting to over five thousand dol
lars."
"Whew 1" I exclaimed. "That was
big haul."'
"Now, Howard, you had better go
and examine the trone of the robbery,
and.do as you Think best." •
I left the office.and ere long stood
upon the marble steps •of Mrs. Du
ran2s stone front. A servant bade
me enter, and I warconducted to the
parlor, where I fdund the widow bath
ed in tears. She quickly looked up
nd drew, her hands across hp' eyes.
"I am. Harry Howard," 'I said, :by
way of introduction. •
"Mr. Howard, the detective r
"The same, madam." •
"You come to investigate - the mate'
ter, do you nal"
"I do. I would like to see the room
where you kept your valuables."
"Polloir me," said the widow ; and
she led. me up stairs to a small room
where her jewels had. been kept.
Things were, in a topsy tunycon
ditien. Drawers lay' int the floor with
their• contenta scattered about the
room. The safe had , been broken
open and the' money and jewels ex
tracted: I hetieed that there was a
stain of blood upon one of , the draw
ers, and '.Concluded that the Intiglar
had injured Won't - some: way,
while committing bis depredations.
The next < moment J._ Kahed.uP a
part of an envelope which was Satur
ated with blood. 1 examined it'olose-
V, and foind that "it :had beele,a&

' "Oh, .yes—thero 'raspy bqkrothal

"Please describe it;' I said imps.;
tiently. • -
" It was a heavy gold ring,the let
ters D.' engraved on it"- •
- 'Mat will do,"said'l, and the neat
minute I 'was walking-rapidly to
ward* my lodgings. Fora brgvhile
I thought - of the • case.upon which
was engaged. I could . not belieie
that Mr. Newton was the•but:glar,
then the question area(' how -came
that bloody envelope in the widow's
- room 7
But I must see the minister and
know more , about him. 1,. sauntered
down: Broadway and stepped into a
store to purchase some articles which
.1 stood in ',need of. While making
the purchase, a man stepped - in - and
asked for some things which had been
left for Mr. Newton
"Are you, Mr. Netaon ?" asked tho
clerk.
"I am, sir." -
"Bob, tun up stairs and get Mr.
Newton's things" cried the clerk to
an errand boy.
Bob hurried off up stairs, while I
continued in ntudying,Newton's face,
I had expected to see a person of sin
biter countenance, but - was ,wofully
mistaken.
He was a man about twenty-eight
years of age, with a cleanly shaved
face, and was neatly dressed. His
eyes were large and expressive, and
the noble looking forehead told that
be was intelligent. 'I thought he
needed watching, and I determined
to do it. When he left the store I
watched him, but he 'What directly to
his boarding-house.
The next night I watched Newton's
house and saw him come forth and
walk away. I foll Owed, and he led
me through street after street, Until
we entered R— street. Was he
going to a gambling hell Y.
Yes, it was true. I followed suit,_
and saw my man seat himself at a
faro table. He bet heavily; bat lost,
and at last laid his last dollar on the •
table. This titnel.be won; and contin
ued to do so until he was a thousand
dollars ahead. He then left the room:
and went to his bearding-house.
'Night after night I followed to and
from the gambling:house, but learned
nothing more.
But success was - to come. Oee
night I was looking at some gold
pens in a , jewelry store, when, a wo
man entered an.i stood near me: Her
persim glittered with diamonds. •AN
she tormidher face towards me I saw

As she laid her hand upon the coun

on one of tier fingers. I leaned,.for
ward, looked at the ring, and saw
the lettere:. "T. D." engraved upon it.
I knew it instantly It was the be
trothal ring of which Mrs Durant had
been robbed.
How came Anna in -possession of
that rink Y I must_ ascertain ; so I
hastily purchased thesen, and took
my station outside- or - the store to a - -
wait her exit. She came out at last
and walked rapidly away. I fellow;
ed her through ,several streets, until
when in the vicinity of the Battery,
she was joined by a man, who, as the
light of a lamp, - fell upon his face, I
recognized Noe% Newton, the minis •
ter. Tee two entered a house near

walked away without being followed.
After waiting an hour longer Isaw
Anna come from the building. I
stepped forward and laid my nand
upon her shoulder.

" Harry Howard."
" A detective 1' : Yea I've heard of

oltaimnick WOMEN•
. .
There are certain women who are
invariably spoken of as chirmina. ° .—
We never hear any other epithet ap
plied to them. . They are not daid to
be pretty, nor amiable; nor clover,
thongl they ma l t' be all three,' but
sittiply charmieg ; which we may
1
take s a kind of verbal amalgam-,
the concentration and Concretion of
all praise, the main feature about
these clirming women id' their in
tense fe inality. There is no - blot
ring of the outline here ; .no confu
sion of qualities admirable enough
in, theinselves, . but slightly oat. of
place considering the sex ; no Ama
zoniai virtsia. which leave one in
donb as to Whether we have not be
fore us a youth in petticoats rather -
teen a soft and tendes woman. ' A
nharming woman is a woman ull aver,
one who places her gloin b •ing a
woman, and this uo desi e to be any:
thing else. Sha is a oman rathet
1 ,
than a human being, an a lady rath ,
er than a woman. Onei of her char
acteristics ie thesoftnese and exquis
ite grace of her manner, which so
sweetly repiesents the tender nature
within. She has not an angle any
where. If she were to be expressed
geometrically, llogarth's Line of
Beauty' is the sole figure that could
be us d for her. She is -flowing,
graceful, bending in mind as iu body ;
she is neither self-asserting nor ag
gressive, neither rigid nor narrow ;
she is a creature who glides grace
fully through life, and adjusts her
self to her c..nipany and her circum
stances. in a manner little less than
marvel Ons ; working her darn way
without tumult er sharpness, creep
ing round unsuperable - obstacles, and
quietly wearing down more friable
opposition with that gentle Etisis
teucy which goes so 'much more than
turmoil and disturbance. Even if
enthusiastic—which she is for art,
either as music, as paittiug, or as
poetry—she is enthusiastic in such a
sweet and graceful way that no one
can be offended by afire which shines,
and does nut burn. There is no
touch of scorn 4 about her, and no as
.sumption of: superior knowledge. 7--
She speaks ,to you, poor . ignorant°
Philistine, with the most flattering 1
conviction that you follow her in all
her flights ; and when she cones out, I
quite naturally, with her pretty little
bits of recondite lore or professional
technicalities, you cannot be so boor-.
ish as to ask for an explanation of
these everyday matters, which she
_makes so mire you must understand.
l Eever self-asserting, never contra
ictory, only sweetly and tenderly
(putting you right - when , you, blunder;
the charming woman nevertbelest
makes you feet her superiority,Tetie
ehe lays herself, as it were. , at your,
feet, and gives-sou a thousand, deli
cate flatteries--indeed, among her
specialities is that of 'being- able to

and_ber art of subtle flattery ; but
despite her own self-abasement and
your exaltation, yoncaiipot but feel
that she is your. superior, -and. that,-
although sheds too'obarming to ack

pride, yet ae. feels it, too, and ,tries
; all which hue effect to hide it of

\The sabstanCe which is expired in respira
tion is aannoN or rather one of its com
pounds —dasIION/C amp: Another name for
it is charcoal; anthracite coal, bituminous
coal.- In s ton of coat from our mines there
is little else but carbon. Carbon, of itself,
is inoxious, butin combination with sooth
er body soon to be , mentioned, it is aidead
ly poison. Carbon exists in the air, in 'the
rocks, in the bowels Of the earth; inimany
miherals, in the food of man, beat and yiig
table—especially does it mist in woody
bre and in all animal ,bodies.. It is the
principal constituent of all bodies thatburn,
its quality or property of maintaining corn=
bastion, indicating its chief importanCe in
the kingdom of nature., •
Oxygen, or vital air, is an agent, perhaps,,
of still more importance in the inquiry we
have instituted. It exists almost every- ,
where—in the air we breathe, 'in the food
we eat; in'the water we drink, and wherev
er it is, it is an agent . of destruction and
change, as well as of vitality and renova
tion, It rends the soak, it crumbles the
tower, it cleaves the wall, —the megniticent
.
structures of an ancient civilization have
.perbshed.in'its embrace, and it preYs upon
the living and the dead. Since the dawn. of
literature the poets have celled it " the tooth
of time."
Oxygen enters into a thousand chemical
combinations with almost every body in mi.:
tore, changing them into something they
were not before. Combining with carbon,
, - it Originates the phenomenbn of combus
tion, and the human body is literally burned
up. -It enters by the lungs,' it mixes with
the hluod, it is carried to all parts of the
body, and burns the wasted structures of
carbon as the fire burns coal. or wood. The
- burning of carbon in the grate, is precisely
the same process that the bbrning of carbon
- in the body is,—the same heat is evolved,
and the same products restdt, to wit : a noX
ions gas and_ the ashes of the body burned.
The combustion of - the carbon of coal takes
place in the grate, while that of the body
goes on in the infinitely small terminations
of the` bloodvessels, and th e heat evolved
from the combustion, in the latter-case„
joined to that from another soave, keepsi
the body at a uniform temperature of 98
degrees.
The other source of heat, referred to
above, is that which arises from the motion
of the blood in the circulation. All motion
is heat, and all heat is motion. The two are
identically the same quality, or thing, exist
ing in different conditions. Heat drives the
engine, but the motion would fuse the axle,
if •he friction were not obviated by plenti
ful lucubration. The hammer s_nddenly ar
rested on the anvil, heats both, the cannon"
ball gathers heat in the exact ratio of arrest
of velocity, and the school boy rubs his /Oils
upon has writing desk, until it smokes. All
these are familiar examples ot the mutual
conversion of motion and heat into each
other, and they explain how a partial arrest
of the circulation, converts its motion into
thSheat of the body.
Thus we have seen that we live and die.
Butethelle • and the death thus far, have
been simply_ change. Our spiritual being
has been subjected-to no alteration. Our
consciousness and memory have withstood
decay. and have preserved us amid the rav
ages of elemental metamorphosis. Ourlow

amen LIFE.—A few days ago, in
the country, I stood beneath ; a tat.
cedar, a student of nature and an ad
wirer of its glory. I observed that
the lower branches showed the only
signs of decay, and that they feenied
to be appointed to removal, in order .
that the sap of the tree might pass
uninterruptedly upward to develop
the higher boughs and to bold up the
top in full evergreen. The trunk of
the cedar is made the.moregrand and
uhstantial by the disappearance of
the lower branches year by year, and
the avenues to communicate life and
beauty upirard are thua l the more di
rect and effectual- And so does the
Christian grow. The habits of his
childhood; embryo notions and opin
ions, as he rises into manhood, are-
lost ; and like the cedar, as be grows
his lower affections and attachments,
love of the - world, .of fame, of posi 7
Lion, one by Jute die and disappear,:
and his higher nature is-all the more

WHAT is Ferri ?—ln the summer of

question. I was sixteen years of age.
Ihtise sixteen years had been spent
without prayer, for I*as the child of
prayerle.ss parents.
Many serums thoughts .I had enter
tained--lougings for a different life
.;
but no ant' ever spoke to me a sym
pathizing word until that summe,r.- r
.Then, in a revival of religion, there
was a breaking down of all reserve,
and many Christians spate 'to me
indly and
,earnestly.
The Holy Spirit led me, I trust, and
soon I felt that I loved Christ ; -but I
thought it bad been; too ; short a pro
mos, and distresaed myself with the
belief that rhad not yet attaineßthe

many times ikday,.l prayed for faith,
