Myttery Solve A Fly Leaf front a Detective-! Note.
, Book.
From the 8t. Louis Time. '
Buttonholcing one of our reporters on
his customary rounds yesterday aiorning, a
well-known detective, whofo tiume it will
not be necessary to mention, narrated a
chapter from his personal history which
borders closely on the romantio. II is story,
as told in his own language, was in sub
stance as follows s
' Do you remember the mystery I was
engaged in solving when we last met ? " he
asked, and without waiting for an answer,
continued; Well, 1 will tell you the se
quel. Mrs. A., you recollect, lottho ring,
aad Nellie was suspected of stealing
it. The morning after tho ball, while
sleeping in her own chamber, the ring was
removed from her finger without arrousing
to im.iAM V 1 i vt it t t I
i.uuue our. Nellie nan aocess
to the apartment and she must have taken
ht. So thouL'hc Mr. A . sn ttunn-tit hoi-
husband, and so thought I, when I was
sent for and given the Points in the case,
before being employed to work" it up. Tho
ring was set in diamonds, a cluster of ex.
cceding brilliancy and richness. Its value
could not have been less than $000. Nellie
was employed as Mrs. A 's waiting maid.
at wages which in four years would scarcely
nave aggregated me vwuoot tlie diamonds.
Every stone in the set was worth a year of
Nellie's life nud labor, albeit neither nor all
of them could have dropped a single drop
ot water on a parched tongue, or stroked a
levered brow when it was racked with pain
At the instance of Mrs. A., Nellie was ar
rested, upon the accusation of stealing the
ring. &ho protested her innocence in tears,
i . ii. i I..
out, an ir.c circumstances looked so strongly
toward her guilt, her tears w.:re unavailing.
I followed her to the jail, and at my su'
gestion she was assigned a cell to herself .
The next day I visited her, aud by every
means I dared to employ sought to gain a
confession from her. At length I at
tempted to intimidate her, and harshly
challenged hei with the theft. Again she
burst into tears, and hiding her face in her
hands, wept ns though her heart would
break. Here the matter cuded, for I could
go no further. I had forgotten to tell you
before that Nellie was handsome,' aud she
Devcr seemed so beautiful in my eyes as
when tho tears were falling from her own
in a shower of diamonds, every one of them
more precious than those I was after. I left
the cell completely bnffled. Although I
never told as much to Mrs. A., or iutimated
as much to Nellie, 1 was satisGedof her in.
nocence, and forthwith tuined my efforts in
another direction. 1 coutinued my visits
io Nellie in herccll day alter day, but uever
afterwards, alluded ti the ling. A week
had passed, and I had all but given.up tha
job iu despair. Finally one morning early,
vhile loitering down, a certain street in the
direction of tho river, I instinctively paused
under three balls and began closely scruti
nizing a display of the pledges in my
uncle's shop. In an instaut my quick eye
singled out of a whole case of rings one
which I thought might be, and which, as
lortune would have it, proved to be identi
cally that stolen from Mrs. A.'s finger. I
had but little difficulty in tracing out the
thief. It was Mrs. A.'s own son. To
satisfy a debt contracted during a debauch,
he had taken it from his mother's finger
while she was sleeping and pawned it.
" Put trnw about Nellie ? you ask. She
too was guiity of a theft, but I forgave
her. She is now my wife."

The gem of all others which encircles
the coronet of a lady's character, is un
affected piety. Nature may lavish much
upou her peri-on the enchantment of the
countenance the gracefullncss of her tnciu,
or the strength of her intellect, yet her
loveliness is uncrowned until piety throws
around the whole the sweetness of her
charni3 she then becomes uneurthly in
her temper unearthly in her desires and
associations The spell which bound her
affectious to thijgs below is broken, and
she mounts on the silent wings of her
fancy and hope to the habitation of God,
where it will be her delight to hold com
munion with the spitits that have been
ransomed from tho thraldom of earth, and
wrcathad with a garland of glory.
Her beauty may throw her magical
charm over many princes, and conquerers;
may bow with admiration at the shrine ot
her riches, the sons ot science and poetry
may embalm her memory in history and
song yet piety must bo her ornament
her pearl, tier name must be written in
tho " book of life," that when mountains
fade away, and every memento of earthly
greatness is lost in the general wreck ot
i.ature, it may remain and swell the list of
that mighty throng which have been
clothed with the mautle of righteousness,
and their voices attuned to the melody of
Heaven.
With such a treasure, every lofty gratifi
cation on earth may be purchased: friend
ship will be doubly sweet; and their char
actor will possess a prize far " above ru
bies; life will be but a pleasant visit to
c&rth, and death the entrance upon a joyful
una perpetual nome. And wneu tne notes
of the last trump shall be heard, and
sleeping millions awake to judgement, its
possessor shall be presented faultless be
fore the throne of God with exceeding joy,
and a orown of life that shall not wear
away. .
Such is piety. Like a tender flower
planted in the fertile soil of woman's heart.
it grows, expanding its toliage, aud impart
ing its fragrance to all around, till trans
planted it is set to bloom in the paradise of
God.
' Follow the star it will light you through
every labyrinth in the wilderness ol life, gild
the gloom that will gather round you in ihe
dyiughour, aud bring 70U safely over the
tempestuous Jordan of death, mto the
promised and settled rest.
