Tt)V nro too parsimonious Harry,"
X said Mr. J) , to ono of his
clerks, as tlicy were together in the count
ing house one morning : " give mo leave
to say that you don't dress sufficiently gen.
tcel to appear as n clerk in a fiishionablo !
store."
I Tenry's face was suffused with n deep
blush, nnd a tear trembled his manly
cheek.
" Did 1 not know that vmr salary was
I sufficient to provide more genteel habili
ments,' coiittiiited Mr. 1.. " I would in
crease it."
' My salary is sufficient, amply suffi
eient Kir," replied Henry, in a voice
choked with that proud independence of
feeling which poverty had not been able
to divest hiin of. II in employer noticed
tho agitation, and immediately chunked
tho subject.
Mr. D. was u man of immense wealth
and amplo benevolence, he was a widow
er, aud had but one child n daughter
who was the pride ol" his declining years.
8he wa not an beautiful as nn angel, or
as perfect as a Venus : but the uuodne.-s,
tho innocence, the intelligence ot her
mind hhoue in her countenance, nnd you
i had but to become acquainted with her
I to admire and lovo her. Such was Cnro
I lino Dchmey when Henry become an in-
mate of her father' abode.
I No wonder then that he loved her with
I that, deep and devoted affection and
I reader had von known hiin von would
not have wondered that that love was
soon returned, for their souls were eon
genial : they were cast in virtue's purest
mold and although their tongues nev
er gavo utterance lo what they fell, yet
tho language of their eyes told loo plain
ly to be mistaken. Jlenrywus tho very
soul of honor, and although he perceiv
ed that he was not inditrercnt to Cnruliuc,
still felt that ho must conquer at once the
passion that glowed in his bosom. "I
must, not eudeavor to win her young and
artless heart," thought he; " I am penni
less, and cannot expect that her father
would ever couscnt to her union with mo
he has treated inowilh kindness, and I
will not be ungrateful." Thus ho reas
oned, and ho heroically endeavored to
subdue what ho considered nn ill-fated
passion. Carolino had many suitors, and
sonic wero fully worthy of her ; but sho
refused all the ir overtures with a gentle
but decisive firmness. Her lather won
dered at her conduct, yet he would not
thwart her inclinations.
He was in the decline ol' life, and
wished to seu her happily settled before
ho quitted tho stago of existence. It
was not long ere he suspected that Henry
was the cause of her iudiffcreneo to oth
ers ; tho evident pleasure she tooK in
hearing him prai.-ed, the blush that over-
spread her check whenever their eyes
met, all served to convince tho old gen
tlemen, who had not' forgotten tint he
was once young himself, that thev took
more than a common
interest in each
other's welfare.
Thus satisfied, he foreboro making nuy
remarks upon tlie subject; but he was
not displeased at the supposition as tho
pcnuiloss Henry would have imagined.
Henry had now been about u year in
litu fmtrilnv Mr Ih-limnv LrinTO iinlliititr
of his family, but his htri-t iutogritv, his
irreproachable morals, his pleasing "man -
ncr, all conspired to muko him esteem

i " Henry W ."
! ' Henry V exclaimed Mr. )o-
j laucy, "why, he is my clerk '. I led him
i at my house not u fortnight sinco."
Hero followed a succession of inquiries I
which evinced an anxiety nnd a soheitndo I
that a mother only could Icel to nil ot
which Mr. Pelamy replied to her perfect
satisfaction.
" You know our Henry," said the old
man, raising his head upon his staff,
" well, sir, then you know as worthy a
lad ns ever lived, (tod bless him. He
will bless him for his goodness to his poor
i old grandfather," he added in a trcmu-
lous voice, while tho tears chased each
j other dowu his cheeks.
, " He is a worthy fellow, to be sure,"
said Mr. I ., rising and placing u wcll
lilled purse in tho hands of tho old man.
" Ho is a worthy young man, nnd shall
not want friend., bo assured."
He left the cottage.
I " Noblo boy," said he, mcutally, as he
j was riding leisurely along, ruminating on
I his interview: " noblo boy, ho shall
! not want wealth to enable him to distri
bute happiness. I believe he loves my
girl, and if ho does ho shall hnvo her,
and all my property in tho bargain."
Filled with this project, and determin
ed, if possible, to ascertaiu the true state
of their hearts, ho entered tho breakfast
room next morning after his arrival home.
Caroline was alone.
" So 1 enry is about to leave us to go
to England and try his fortune," ho care-
lessly observed
Henry about to lcavo us!" said Caro
line, dropping tho work she hold in her
hand about to leave us, and going to

evinced the deepest interest.
" To bo sure ; but what if ho is, my

" Nothing, sir, nothing only I thought
we should be very lonely," sho replied,
turning away to hide tho tears she could
not suppress.
i " Tell me. Caroline," said Mr. 1)., ten
! derly embracing her, " tell me, do you
I not love Henry? You know I wish your

Tho transition from despair to happi
, noss was great. For a moment Henry
remained silent ; but his looks spoke vof
j umcs; at length ho said :

tho reason of your parsimony, as I called
it, and I hoaor you for it it was that
which first put it into my head to give
you my Caroline so sho shall be yours,
and may God bless you both.
They separated.
Shortly after this conversation, Henry
avowed his love to Caroline and so-
solicited her hand, and it is needless to
J say that he did no solicit in vain. Cur-
oline would have deferred their union uu
I til the ensuing spring ; but her father was
inexorable lie supposed he would have
to own to a falsehood, he said, and they
would willingly have him shoulder two ;
1 but it was too muoh entirely too much
as ho had told Henry that she was to
bo married in six weeks, nnd he could
not forget his word
" But perhaps," he added, apparently
recollecting himself, and turning to Hen
ry, " wo shall have to defer it offer all,
for you have important business in tho
country about that time."
" Be merciful, sir," said Henry, smil
ing, " I did not wish to witness the sac
rilico of my own happiness."
" I am merciful, sir, aud for that rea
son would not wish to put you to the in
convenience of staying. You said you
would willingly oblige mo, but you could
not, indeed vou could net!"
" You wero once young, sir ;" said
Henry.
" I know it, I know it," replied ho,
laughing heartily ; "but I aui nfraid too
many of us old folks forgot it however,
if you can postpone your journey. I sup
pose we must have a wedding."
Wo have only to add that the friends
of Uonry were sent for, and that the
nuptials were solemnized at the appoint
ed time, and that, blessed with the filial
lovo of Henry and Caroline, the old poo
plo passed tho remainder of their days
in peace nnd happiness.
lleuiiniscence of tteYTurof IS1.
A1.
the time when Wilkinson's iirmv
was at Fort Madison, at Kackett's
Harbor, at the foot of Lake Ontario, n
man by the Whittlesey, residing iu the
town of Watortown, in Jcffersou county,
was appointed Paymaster for the
army. Our government credit was at a
low ebb, but Whittlesey went to Al
bany, iu tho state of New York, f aud on
Governor Daniel D. Tompkins becoming
Government security, he got $130,Q0U
with a viow of paying off the nrmy debts.
In returning, he stayed one night in
lioonevillo, then camo down to Water
town, and gave out word that he had been
robbed of his Government money ; that
his portmanteau had been cut open at
Booncville, and the money stolen.
Jason Fairbanks ana 1'erry Keyes
wcro Whittlesey's bail, both prominent
citizens of Watertown. Fairbanks ex
amined the saddlebags, without tho least
soil or sweat, or any mark that they had
been used since the cut, and then they
made up their minds to ferret it out. Ac
cordingly, they agreed with a young man
by the name of Coffin to secrete himself
under the bed in which Whittlesey nnd
his wife slept. This young man did so,
and reported that they had tho money,
but where it was he did not find out.
Fairbanks aud Keyes contrived to have
a hole dug on Keyes' land, where the
water would riso near the surface, and
deep enough to submerge a man. Fair
banks went and asked Whittlesey to take
a walk with him and talk over tho thing.
He weut, and was led to this hole; when
they got there, Keyes made his appenr
ance ; theni they accused Whittlesey of
his theft, and related the conversation
between him and his wife, overhead by
voumr Coffin. Whittlesey persisted iu
denying it ; and then they told him that
thev would drown him, and laid hold of
him and put hiin in the hole. They
told him that if be repented aud would
tell where the money was, to raise his
hand and thev would take him out ; aud
they in with him. When he was nearly
drowned, he raised his hand, aud they
took him out. But Whittlesey said it
was an unconscious action, and he still
persisted in denying it. Then they iu
with him again, and told him to mako
the sign again if he would confess, and
he did so. They took him out the sec
ond time, but he still refused to confess,
and they told him they would put him
iu for the last time and no terms ; that
they had a shovel there ; that they would
siuk him and fill up the hole ; and when
they brought him up near tho pit, he
said he would confess, and told them his
wife had it quilted in tho legs of her
drawers.
Fairbanks went for the money, nnd
left Whittlesey in the care of Keyes and
Dr. Hutchinson, who uow made his ap
pearance, Fairbanks weut to Whittlesey
house and told the servant girl he wanted
to see her mistress. Tho girl went up
stairs to speak with her mistress. Fair
banks followed her. When .Mrs. Whit
tlesey saw him, she threw herself ou tho
bed. Fairbanks Btrippod up her clothes,
pulled up her drawers, and found tho
money. Mrs. Whittlesey weut immedi
ately down to the river, below tho Union
Mill, throw herself in, aud wus drowned.

How Hrushos are Mailt
1)UUSII MAKING is largely carried
) on in Worcestor, and furnishes
an example of tho value of bri-tle.. an
article apparently unimportant when seen
upon the back of its producer, the miieli
abused pig. Tho best of these ; bristles,
not pigs,) re imported from Germany,'
llussia and other parts of the old eounlry,
and couMiiand a very high price. ' I
was shown by n manufacturer here a ca-e
containing 250 pounds, which cost Si'm
in gold. These, of course nro used in
the finer class of paint aud whitewash
brushes.
An inferior quality of bristle, grown
iu this country, principally iu lie; West,
is worked up into dusters and cheaper
class of goods. Tho manufacture of a
brush seems a simple operation. tluuiLli
it may hav its difficulties to tin; green,
hand. To describe first tho common Ion
duster used so much by good lnmscwivc:
the wooden portion is bought ready-iiiau'i'
by the manufacturer at a cost of two rents
apiece cheaper than he could buy I he
wood aud have them turned, though ho
puis the finishing touch to them by bor
ing the small holes on tho upper side ol'
tho broad end to hold the bristles.
Tho stock is then taken by (lie work
men, male ot female, sitting before a
small table covered with sheet-iron, lo
mako a smooth surface, and fitted with a
cement dish in tho center nnd reels ,,i'
thread at the side, one for each per-ou.
From a largo bunch of bristles in the left,
baud tho operator takes smnll portions,
evens one end ou the iron surface, dips
the some end into tho hot eemenl. winds
a piece of thread around tightly, dip
again into the cement, and then lon-e,
tho little bunch into ono of the hole-,
and iu this way in a short time tills ;iil
tho holes and turns the brush user t i
tho cutter.
After trimming they are varnished,
dried, and nro then ready for the iiiaikn.
Certain kinds of long machine brushes
are mado in tl)e same manner. Oilier
brushes, of the scrubbing-bvtisli i l,i.-s.
nro made by using wire instead of i-eiuent
to fasten the bristles, by fastening llo;
wiro back and forth through liie hides
over tho middle of a wisp of bristle-,
which is doubled up aud forced into llo;
holes when the wire is tightened. Whit. -wash
brushes of tho best class are mad.i
from foreign bristles carefully bleached,
weighed nnd combed to get all short piec
es out.
The wooden bucks, made cl-cwlii r.--,
arc laid on a bench before tho workmen,
at his right side is a cement dish, ami
near by n pair of scales. After combing
and weighing, the upcreuds of tho bristles
are dipped into the cement, then spread
over tho lower part of tho wooden back
and fastened into place by astripof leath
er closely tacked arouud. When llio
cement is hardened by cold the brush is
as a solid mass and will probably last as
long as tho bristles will wear. The ordi
nary brushes of this class are usually
mado of American bristles, unbleached,
after tho style of the first described dus
ters. The fine quality paint brushes made at
the mauulactory L visited differ from any
other I have ever noticed in this respect.
Instead oi being wound on the handle
with twine, tho ends aro first dipped into
tho peculiar cement used there, then
placed around tho base of the stick
and an iron ferule passed over them,
which keeps them tightly in place. This
ferule is mado without a seam by a punch
ing process invented within a few years,
and can bear a great strain. The price
of brushes, such a i described above, runs
from a friction of a dollar up to six dol
lars, nnd even more, according to the
kind and quality of tho bristles used. 1
should judge from appearances that busi
ness is good, and, probably, profitable.
J Soino years ngo when one of iln;
insurance companies of Hartford first es
tablished an agency iu New York, it. is
said their policies contained so many of
those cautious words, "whereas" ' and
it is hereby understood," "audit is
further provided," etc., etc., that ii was
somewhat difficult foi one to know wheth
er ho were really insured or not. A
Quaker man, doing business iu I'iue
street, took a five thousand dollar policy,
and like a prudent merchant, proceeded
carefully tn read it over ; but so perplex
ed did ho become by tho persual that
next morning ha took it hack, and
said
" Friend .Jones, 1 have read over ihv
I policy, and don't seo that in case of lire
I am insured at all."
i " Well, friend Waldo," was ihe agent's
! resjiou.se, "if thou art, it is an entire iu
I advertence 1"
! Friend Waldo had that notion, and
i surrendered.
