When did you get hold of the precious document? "Only yesterday. You know he had left the will in his private desk, and it was only by chance that I obtained the key. The moment I did so, I seized the document, and put in its place a piece of blank pa per." "Do you think he has discovered the loss yet?"' Oh, no, I am certain he has not. I have watched him well all day." "Well, then now to business," s.iid young Norval. '"How much do you want for the will?" ' It is a very valuable paper, Mr. Norval," replied the villainous clerk. "I supK-e you know its provis ions ? "Oh, yes ; I overheard M read the paper after he had drawn it up.

The boy who graduates at college at twenty-one will not know howtodoany of a hun dred things. In a community where caste determines position, where the son of a merchant is preordained to be a merchant, and the son of a shopkcejKT to be a shopkeeper, ap prenticing is very well. Hut in a country where society is not only fluid but boiling, where the bottom is all the time going up to the top anil the top is all the time going down to the bottom, every father snouid be ambitious to give his son an education that will enable him to tike any place and till it. Business education makes "rut" men a lib eral education makes broad men. A business education equips a man well for a single chance, if he miss es that he has no reserve. A liberal education equips a man for a hun dred chances ; if he fails to get one door open he has in his hand the keys ot ninety-nine. at five o clock, and that he would not pander to Mr. Matthews's laziness in any way. Then Mr. Matthews grew angrv. and went r.wav mur muring that he would "get square" with his obstinate neighbor. The next day Mr. Finney was very much surprised to find that a large flag wa waving over Mr. Matthews's house, and that his front yard was ornamented witii a largo howitzer. Mr. Matthews explained to inquiring friends that be loved the old Hag intensely, and intended henceforth to do it honor. He said that he should haul the flag down even night at precise! y twelve o'clock, and should hoist again every morning at one o'clock, and that on each occasion he should salute it with his gun. Accordingly,!! midnight Mr. Fin ney was startled by the roar of the howitzer, which disturbed his slum bers so effectually that it was fully three-quarters of an hour before he could iio to slecn strain, and he had in.- youth ot the country incapable of being Democratic.

They have been with me many years, and I cannot entertain the slightest suspicion against them. Long intercourse with the world has taught me, how ever, to be cautious, and I determin ed to keep my own counsel, so I have not mentioned the fact to thtm at all. I closed and locked my desk again, and went alout my business as usual." "Y'oudid quite right. Did the what am 1 to give you for it ?" "You shall give me your note of hand for S-V-'i payable when yon come into the pTOjierty." "Agreed agreed! Here, I will write on the sjot." I could hear them arranging some papers on the table. I cautiously j left the apeirtment, and crept nois lessly to the door of the room where his worthy pair was seated. I ap thied my eye to the keyhole and dffj.jplw that Norval was in the act of jsariung a promissory noie. lias wone, he handed it to the clerk, who after examining it, placed it careful ly in his pocket-book. He then drew out the will and handed it to Norval. The Litter eagerly ptrused it, a smile of griitirict.tion overspread ing his features. "Now"' said be.

When times are dull it is the book-keeper who keeps a ledger account beautifully and knows not how to do anything else who gets left out in the cold be cause there is no ledger to be kept. The versatile man, who has an adaptability to do whatever work comes to hifl hand, always finds some work to do. When a college graduate is found starving the story goes the circle of newspapers from Boston to San Francisco ; but when clerks and book-keepers go hungry no one thinks it strange. It ia an appalling problem to contemplate. What will the thousand and odd graduates of our colleges this year rind to do ? But, somehow, they all do find something. Our colleges do not furnish the country with its beggars, its paupers or its tramps. A well-educated man is a man of many resources, and he is therefore ready fcr many emergencies.

A "hired man," who had been employed on a farm in this country lor several months, entered suit against his employer the other day for balance of wages, amounting, as he claimed, to $32. The suit was on trial in Justice alley yesterday, and it l.oked af first as if the plain tiff had a clear case. He gave dates and figures in a straightforward way, and seemed to be a very honest young man. When the farmer took the stand he said : "I claim an offset for that $32. No man need sue me for what I hon estly owe." ''What Is your offset ?" asked the lawver. "lie's an unbeliever.' "In what?" "Why, in the Bible."

The same re sults attended the hauling down and hoisting of Mr. Matthews's Hag every night tor the ensuing week, by the end of which time Mr. Finney was in a most pitiable nervous con dition. He knew that it would be useless to appeal to his exas'ierated neighbor unless he first were to abolish his own breakfast bell, and he did not, as yet, feel sufficiently humbled to take this step. Alter due reflection Mr. Finney bought an alarm clock so construct ed that at the expiration of every hour a weight would be dropped on a Chinese gong. This clock lie plac ed at a window fronting Mr. Mat thews's house, ami he hired two boys to sit up with it and wind up the alarm whenever it went oil'. It may be asked why he did not hire the boys to beat an hourly gong, and thus dispense with the clock. Mr. Fin ney's answer to this question would undoubtedly be that such a pro ceeding would be regarded as a pre meditated plan to annoy his neigh-, bor, whereas it is notorious that every man has a right to own an alarm clock ami to use it as his con venience may dictate. While Mr. Finney tried to sleep in a remote room with his earsstuli ed with cotton and covered witii a bandage, and was disturlnrd only by the Matthews gun, Mr. Matthews found that the gong rendered it im possible for him to sleep at any time. He tried cotton, but it did not do him any good. Iist Mon day, therefore, he determined to try the effect of tiring a salute of . one hundred guns, beginning at mid night and lasting until five o'clock. This has had the desired effect upon Mr. Finney, who cannot sleep a sin gle wink at night, and who is forced to turn day into night by going to bed irrthe afternoon, when Mr. Mat thews is discussing national affairs. The latter sleeps from about six in the morning until ten, and. like his neighbor, is becoming frightfully haggard and nervous from want of sufficient sleep. What the resuit wi.l be no one can foresee. Mr. Matthews, as the original sufferer from the Finney bell, has the sympathy of most of his fellow-townsman, and as both Mr. Matthews and Mr. Finney live a long way out of the village, their nocturnal exploits disturb only their own families. The two obstinate men spend the entire night in keep ing one another awake, and until they become so weakened bv want of sleep that they are cornpell(d to abandon hostilities they will burn powder and bang gongs with un flinching and unwinking persever ance. .V.
