But the house was worth? money, and money must not be thrown away. He determinedlo Bait befOrehe went. That It might look the loss wretched, and bring ,a better price, he hired some laborers to work in the overgrown gar den, to cut out the dead wood, trim the ivy that„drooped,in beaVy Masses over the win dows and gables, and clear the walks, In which thii wed& were growing mid-leg high. ,(( He worked, himself, along with them.

As soon as it way light in theMorffing, he worked at turning up all the ground near the tree, and hacking and hewing at the neighboring btishes and undergrowth. When the laborers came there was nothing suspicious, and nothing was suspected. But he had, in a moment, defeated all hit precautions, and destroyed the triumph of the aphelia° holed, so long concerted, and so successfully worked out. Ho had got rid of the bride; and had acquired her fortune with- Mit endangering his life ; ' but now, for a death by which he had gained nothing, he had evermore to live with's rope around his neck.

In ton years ho had turned his money over so sunny times that the traders and shippers who had dealings with him, absolutely did not lie—for once—when they declared that ho had increased his for tune twelve hundred per cent. w He possessed his riches Ono hundred years ago, when people could be lost easily. Ile had heard who the youth was, from hearing of the search that was • made after him ; but it died away, and the youth was forgotten. u The annual round of changes in the trop had been repeated ton times since the night 9f the • burial at its foot, when there was a great thunder-storm over this place. It broke at midnight, and raged until morning. The first intelligence lie heard from his old serving pian that morning, was, that the tree had been struck by lightning. IC It had boon riven down the atom, in a very Ourprising planner, and the stem lay in two blighted shafts ono resting against the house, and one against 'a portion of the old red gar den-wall in which its fall had made a gap. The fissure went down the tree to a little above the, earth, and there stopped. There Was great curiosity to see the tree, and, with most of his former fears revived, he sat in his arbor—grown quite an old man—watching the people who came to see it. i; They quickly began to come in such dan gerous numbers, that ho closed his garden. gate and refused to, adnilt any more.

After years of trial it is de monetrated beyond all question that it is the popular Machine, and the only ono upon which any reliance can be placed to work well on all kinds of shoes. The fact that it does one-third more work in the same time, and does it better; that it is the least liable to get out of repair, being simple in its construction; that it makes the least noise, and that it la acknowledged on all hands that It Is best for s now beginner, has given the pro- prietors a demand for it to much an extent that they are obliged to delay the filling of orders in many caste for months. Over eight hundred are in operation in this city, and the case has yet to occur whore a person who bas purchased one has exchanged It for another kind. Talanginto consideration, also, the fact that those who employ from 16 to 40 hands in their 'hops, tieing the work for the manufacturer", without exception, use this coaching in preference to any other kind, and al ways reoommend them In preference to others, It would Mk= unnecessary for the proprietors to advertise their audience, or sot forth their superiority.
