I was surprised at this, as he had icver done this before; could it b flat I was about to bo What he had to say was :.:id quiclly. I was eleatc.d to a higher position and could not tintl words t , ) express my gratitude, but I'muttered something and went back to my desk.

The two partners Messrs. :tll4l :Nlorri , --y, were inn en tirely unitevaitited with the zoyst;- Ties of 1,001:-ki_epi7::. They had startt 1)1.1Hil)e - S ~ 1 1 a small scafe, with a small e:Lpital, k e epin. , n o books. DU their liusine.,s in a few Fears increased to surh a great ex tent that they found it impossil , le to dispense with a,book-heeper: sO they secured the serviccs of Mr. Baker, who came to them well reNinnlynd ed, and, after finding things rather confused, he proceeded to ; : make a thorough reconstruction. In a few months ho presented to the well pleased eves ti of Dobson Cd., a splendid set of books, kept in the most approved style of single entry, and at the end of the year ho drew up a carefully arranged balance-sheet which specified to a cent the profits they had made. Baker had more to say than either of the partners. "Go to Baker and talk with him," was an expression, constantly made by them. It was delightful for them to have a man upon whom they could so im plicitly rely. I had often wished to' know to what extent Baker was compensated fur his services._ I 'thought his sala ry must be large, Crow the manner in which he dressed and. lived. , I often saw him dint: at Delmonico's, =MO r4d TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA CLIAtt ' S bTOIIIC BEGARDLIZEI OF DUVFOLMMON FROM LIT WILIFZEL or drive up and down Fifth Avenu.3 with the finest span of horses I ever wished to see. All this sort of thing consumed money, and . no small Whenever I went to amount either the theatre, Baker was there in a pri vate box, with' ladies, 'and he fre quently cape out of some-large store, on Canal street with large parcels. One day—it was the first of the mouth—l went into his office to re- ceive my salary, • and, While there some one called him; he stepped on' to see'who it was. I glanced at al., entry ho - had just made : "Thomas Baker, one month's salary, $125." "He can't live on that, with th( way in which he spends his money," I said to myself. "He must have a private income." I never gave this subject any fur ther thought after that day, but went, to learn book-keeping. I applied myself to it diliaentiy4 and at the end of six months I could manage s set of books as readily as a compe tent book-keeper. I plodded faith fully! pout , in my position, hoping that some day or other I should be come a book-keeper. One day Mr. Everett, of the firm of Everett S. Co., stood near my desk, talking, to Mr. Dobson. I overheard. unintentionally, a portion of.the con versation. " Mr. Dobson, what do you pay your book-keeper?" "'Fifteen hundred a year." "Has he power of attorney ?" " Yes ; ho signs our checks, ,and has coMplete charge of our finances. Why do you ask?" " Bcause I thought his salary was very large, judging from the way he is spending money. I think he spends a great deal more than you give him. Take my advice, •Mr. Dobjon, and examine your books." - The rest I did übt hear, as I - was called to another part of the store. About a week after the conversa tion recorded above, Mr. Dobson came to my desk and said : " Wilder, are you able to run over accounts and papers?" • " Perfectly, ; and I alto•nnder st;uid book-keeping," I replied,think ing I was about to be elevated, and wishing btu let him know what I knew. " I am very glad ; come down here after dinner, this evening I want 3; , u fur I,Am:ditty." I got to tho store that evening very earlv, not giving myself much time to eat dinner. I found Mr. Dobson there before me. "-I want to make an evimination of Mr. Baker's books ; I am not ac quainted with boo]-kt eping. I watch ed yon, and found you to be very en ergetic, and say: , Mr. Baker often calling ou you for assistance.

Mr. Dobson had duplicate keys of the s ,, h e so on had. the books out., I suggested tohiu-e to check the bills with the check-book. He opened ,the !;1::11ving at the stubs, said: Wh a t ,1? es this mean ? Here's a stub fox' four hundred dollars— juo tlie cheek he gave that man, charged Stephens & Co. the same aa.uunt--their harlor fifty barrels of flour... This is impossible ; I hasn't bought a barrel of dour from them this month, and I am certain that Mr. Morrissey has not." I had been looking for the bill book and, haying found it my hand touched a bill of flour from Stephen's & Co., dated the firmt of the month. " Here's the bill," I said. " regu larly . receipted." " Let u' see if there are any more of them," said Mr. Dobson. We soon discovered several bills of that firm, and entries in the check book to correspond_ "These bilk' . are frauds," said Mr. Dobson. '• To-morrow I shall see I Stephens & Co., and unearth this deviltry. Why, it never struck s me• that the thing could be worked in %this style. The' fellow b i as been I stealing thousands from us. Had it not been for our eavesdropping,there is no doubt but we would never have discovered these frauds as he has managed everything with referencp to external scrutiny." . The next day the bills were taken to Stephens & Co., by Mr, Dobson, Who immediately pronounced thew. forgeriCs. The writting was exactly like their bill clerk's ; the bill-heads were theirs. Mr. Dobson's partner was fully ad- , vised of the discovery ; he was terri bly enraged. Now to ensnare Baker was the next thing. A few days after, Baker was pre ( tented with a statement from Ste . phens & Co.,with a request to ex ! amine it, " This has been paid long ago," he said. I - *ant to see the .accoant," said Mr. Dobson. "I am going to look , OCTOBER 24, 1872. more into these matters than I hay: been doing. Mr. Wilder will help you." I expressed my willingness: faker ran over the leaves of his ledger till ho came; to Stephens & Co.'s page, and then said "Examine the accounts for your self.' !, It was all right. =The accounts were checked, up to a nicety, and Ba ker said : "Are you4hrongh ? 'Mr. Dobson, I do not need any assistancn from • this young man." "How do you' account for this stub in your check-book, Dir. Baker?" said Mr. Dobson ; " and this--and this--Stephens & Co., over and over again, bills - for flour which we never got—which they themselves declare to.be forgeries? Since yon cannot explain these figures, I pronounce you a scoundrel and a swindler." Baker turned Dale as death, and leaned heavily on his desk, and then looked at Mr. Dobson with a terrible eye. He sprang to the safe and grasped a knife which lay there, and looked at me, hissing between his teeth : "You cursed imp, you told it I take that!" He made a plunge at me with the knife, but I stepped aside with such quicknesi that it did no damage. Mr. , Dobson leaped ,upon him ; he- then turned the knife upon himself, and plunged it into his heart. It was a sickening sight. I hid my face from it. " That winds up the affair,'.' said Mr. Dobson,-as he looked upon the prostrate form. The whole establishment had now thronged fo the scene, and, business being disarranged for the day, the store was closed. Before I left the store the two partners took me aside ttnd told me; if I was capable, I could take Baker's place. " If we see that you aro capable of conducting the business, we will give you a yearl3- salary of two thou sund'dollars. We wish you to keep everything in order, so that we may easily examide your books -for ;refer ence when necessary." I thanked them, and said I would use my best endeavors to keep the . books in order. I entered upon my duties the next day,,abd succeeded in pleasing my employers.. To-day I run the entire business; and my employers have promised to take me into partner ship next year. ThiS, reader, is my simple story, which is no romance, but a true tale-, though the incidents were kept se cret, none ever knowing why llr. Baker committed suicide. 'ME SENSATION or HANGING The number of persons who, hav ing been hanged, hlive subsequently found themseives to a position to give an account of their- sensation during the process, is exceedingly small, and their experiences shpul A l, when found, he made a note of. A correspondent-Of the Gaulois, moved by private affliction, once tried to • hang himself, but, after remaining suspended for some time, he.was for tunately cut down before life became extinct, and has committed to paper a frill relation of his adventure Hav ing resolved to put an end to a life . which was no longer endurable, he drove a nail into the wall of his chamber, attached a looped cord thereto, stood. upon a chair, and placed his head in the loop. At that critical nioment hece(infesses that ho 'had sonie notion:of taking his head out, and getting off the chair. But, " l'amour propre - vis-a-vis luimeme," sustained him, and' he very slowly ~kicked away the chair. The immedi 7 ate consequent sensation was, he states, "very strange." From the soles of his feet to the crown of his head " a sort of general mixing up of the fluids of the body " ensued. Sud denly there flashed before his eves y a sparkling, dancing light of a color which lie finds it difficult to describe, 1 but in which blue-and a sombre red predominated. Presently the flash- ing,light concentrated at a single fo cus, and thence spread away into space in ripples such as are made In a pond when a'stone is cast, into it At the same time ti fearful weight pressed upon his head—a compres sion as if his temples were tightly bound in a ring of iron. His hands and feet were full of pins and nee dles. Needles without number seem ed to pass out of the ends of his fin gers by &process of continual expul sion. Then came theiterrible snap ping at the nape of the neck; and along his spine there passed a wrig gling . (fretillement) which he can " compare only to- a small serpent forcing% passage along the vertebrae." His last sensation was one of acute pain ut the throat and shoulder blades, and finally came a state of perfect uncBnsciousness, Upon reeov eriug from which he was not unnat urally surprised to find Himself still in a world which he had been at such pains to quit. . DiseourcrEsr.—This is a very eom mun sin anionus, and it arises, principally, from' serious defects in our life. We speak to men harshly; we are becoming domineering; we _ wound their feelings; we• sneer at them and we make a jest of their failures and imptirfections; we make an ostentatious 116 C of our power over them; we compel them to feel— and we do it intentionally=that we attach not the slightest value to their judgment; and i that we have no desire to give then pleasure. We do. not know that those who are guilty of these offences are likely to be much influenced by the considerationof the pain and annoyance which they inflict on others by this treatment if theta, and yet they ought to re :aember that a great part of the mis tyry of the woild.arises from the.wan ton disregard of the claims of evexy man to consideration and respect.. Harsh words, spoken recklessly and in haste, rankle in the memory like a. wound. Such treatment as this is as hard to endure as a perpetual east wind. It destroys all the brightness and pleasantness of life, and con demns those who are subjected to it to's dull monytonotte wretchedness. • .„ ''V :AVEODOTEB or G INER CART- Of the venerable Methodist preach er, Peter. Cartwright,who lately died, many. anecdotes are told and those of a'most eccentric character Cartwright's plain narrative of his father's journey from Amherst, Va., to Lincoln county, ACy., is thrilling in the simplicity of 'its horrible de tails. °be dark night, the consisting of two hundred fami lies. and one hundred young men, halted at a place called Camp De, feat," where a number of emigrant families had been murdered by the savages. It was .a solemn, gloomy time ; every heart quaked with fear. The yoking menlvere placed as senti nels all round the camp, and the heads of families- were placed around outside of the women and children, and some were ordered to take their stand outside still, in the edge of the brush. Among the outside sentinels was Cartwright's father. Shortly af ter he took his stand he heard .some. thitig approaching him, grunting like swine. Cartwright fired and killed an Indian, who was found with, a rifle in one hand and a tomahawk in the other,, the ball having pierced the centre of his forehead. Peter was conversed in 1801. The change was very sudden. He had been to a wedding about five miles from home, and danced until a late hour. Soon after his return hoine, while he was' pacing the hoar, re fleeting on the manner in, which he had spent.the day and eveningoill of a sudden blood rushed to Via - beak his heart palpitated, and in' a.=few miutites he turned blind. He imag ined himself about to die, and cried for mercy, and promised to serve the Lord, if spared. After 'recovering from the attack, ho sold his race horse, burned his pack of cards, and took to reading the Testament. One day, while in anguish over his sinful past, it appeared to him that he heard a voice from heaven, saying, " Peter, look at me ! " His sins, how eve were not forgiven until some time after, when he. received a heav- : enly intimation to that effect. Pe ter commenced to attend camp Meet in gs. At one of my appointments in 1804, he says, there were two very finely dressed, fashiona%e ladies, attended by two brothers , tith loaded horse whips.- The hon. e was crowded, and the young ladies tool: their seats near where I stood. I was unwell, and had a phial of peppermint in my pocket. Before I commenced preaeh ing, took; out lay phial and ;swal lowed a.little of the peppermint. The congregatilin wro melted into tears, and both the young ladies took the jerks. • A man warned me, as I dismissed the assembly, that the brothers had sworn they would horsewhip me for giving their• sisters the jerks. I went out to the young'•ruen and. expostu lated. One said he had seen : . me. take out a phial, in which I carried some truck that gate his sisters the jerks.: As .quick as thought it came into my mind how to get clear of my whipding, and pulling the phial out, cried : " Yes, if I gave your .sis ters the jerks, give.them to you,'•' I moved toward him: He backed. • I advanced, and be wheeled and ran, warning me not to come near him, or he would kill me. • It raised the - - 1 laugh on him, aiad I escaped the whipping. • While on the Hockhocking Cir cuit, Cartwright was disturbed. one Sunday morning; at camp-meeting, bv.the advent Of a gang of roughs.. When he was about half through his discourse, two young men entered, finley dressed,with loadetiwhips,and began to laugh and talk to • the wo\- Men. Cartwright ordered them to desist, and called for a Magistrate. The officers of . t.Le. law Were afraid te l interfere, and Cartwright advanced . on the ruffians. . What followed is . reported in his own words : ,• • One of them made a pass at my head with his whip, 1 but I closed . in With him, and jerked him off the seat. I threw him down, and held him fast. Ho tried his best to got loose. I told him to be quiet, or I would pound his chest •well. The mob rushed to the rescue ,of. the t prisoner, and a drunken magistrate ordered me to release him. I refrised, And he swore he would mock me down: • I toll him to knock away. A friend, at my request, relieved me . of my prisoner. The drunken justice made a pass at ine.- I parried the stroke, seized him by the collar; brought ..him to, • the ground and jumped. on him. I told him 'to be muiet or I would. pound him well. ;The mob. rushed up and !knocked down several preachers. I gave my 'prisoner to another, 'and - the ring: leader and I met. He made three gasses at me, and I gave him a blow in the ear, and dropped him to-the earth. • Cartwright., thoughiiot an Aholi-: tiouist, had very swelling views of the equality of mankind. One day when he was preaching in Nashville, Gen. Jackson entered the church. Another preacher whispered a little loud, " Gen. Jackson has , come in —Gen. Jackson ha's come in." Cart wright said audibly " Who is Gen. Jackson? If he don't get his soul converted, God will damn him as quick as he would a. Guinea negrn." In Marietta was a ;nondescript _preacher named. A: 'Sargent, With numerous followers. , inestienger; and pro fessed to see. visions and converse with angels. One 'Sunday, night, at a Methodist, camp-meeting, Sargent got some powder and lit a cigar, and then walked down to the bank of the river, one hundred rods, where stood a 'urge stump. He.put his powder. on the stump and touched it with his cigar. The light of the powder was seen by n.tany at the cantle. Sar gent lay there, and when the p"ople came he told them he litid'a that God:had come down in a flash of light. Says Cartwrigh : "I stepped up to him and - asked him . if an angel had appeared to* him ti • .that flash of light. .lie said " d i es I said, " I Sargeut did not the angel smell of brimstone? "- " Why," AM replied, " do you ask me such a fool- I ish question . ? " " Because," I said, "if au angel has •spoken to you-at all, he is from,the• lake that burneth $2 per Annum in ,Advanee: with fire and brimsfone," and raising my voice I added, "I smell sulphur now." .. I called to the People to see for themselves. _ They saw, and enrsed Sargent, for a vile imposter. We were troubled no more with his brim stone angels. The sun • sets., at 6 o'clock.
