' He looted like an old clothesman, bat he wus only a broker—a broker with a bad char aster, rtnd what that must have been, when it wks had for a broker, we leave to imagination td define. He was reputed the .hardest man of hfa trade ; and, "as men of that (trade are popu larly supposed to be mere ejectoral machines, wprked by flints, not hearts, « supremacy of fllyitness must have left him a fearful conglom ei»tion. He was a withered old man now, aljmost double with age and rheumatism, with i a booked nose, and light browrl eyes, red around - th|e lids, and a strange mixturpof surliness and suspicion in his face. lie Ifcoked a cross be tween a mastiff and a weasel, which he was in character as well as countenance. No one had a good word to say to him. The publican at thp corner was sure there was something queer in|a man who did not take an honest glass like thp rest, and the baker looked down on him bepauso he.ate “seconds” on principle. If a distress was to be paten miles round the neigh- 1 boyhood, they prayed that it might not he old Job Mapnin, of Holborn Buildings, One woman saidlshe’d as leave have the Emperor of Russia as him; her daughter said she’d liefer. 1 J 7 ~ The very children were afraid of him, and scseamed if be came near them, unless they wcjre impudent and mocked Sin. But litjle ones he was the District Bogle; and “old* Job Map pin ” stood in Holborn Buildings, sciiriog the riotous small fry of gutters, for the “ black man ” of more civilized nurseries. Every body said the man had a secret. Some thought he was a coiner, and others that JieTiad committed murdejr, and went .to look at the body or grave. Others again baid ho had a mod wife locked up in the garret, on straw; bui none knew exactly what they thought, ex cepting the broad fact that there was a secret somehow ; and of course, if belonging to him, a disgraceful one : “ ho bould have nothing but villainy to conceal,” said the inspector to Po licemen X, 82. Why the report arose of his having a secret in iis life was, because evening after evening, he was seen stealing in the dusk frorrt his gar ret.alpng Holborn towards the West End. No onp knew where he went to, though mqre than one lounger had set out to follow him; but somehow the old man always contrived to es cape, doubling through.the strejets in| such a quick and unexpected manner, that however it was done, bo invariably l got' away. All sorts of plans had bean made, to track jhim,'but they all failed ; and the broker’s secret was a secret stilt Little Teddy, his. landlord’s boy, came, thoineareststo the discovery, but ha lost! him at last! somewhere up in the New itoad, near Re gent's Park, tbpugh that was a good' pleasure to gave taken, too. Moreover, hp-saw that Joe wad decently dressed beneath his shabby old cloajk—a thing no one else would wear; and from that time the reporjt had gnt about that it was; a love affair,' with some mysterious celeb rity} and that . Joe was L u ying a wife with his gold; for “he had aCaliforny-worth,” said the lanqlofd’s little boy ieddy. , j Ote evening Joe set out, ns naan], with bis shabby old cloak hnd battered old! hat, but well enoi igh beneath!

The pldrria'n used' to;say' himself, that he would not exchange his “joe 1" for a good fippun’.note! He nodded to her af fectionately,: and carefully scraping his shoes, went in with the air of a man who knows that he will be welcome. He took oT his hat and cloak and put them away ip a dark cornet, and then clean and respectable looking, be went up stairs to the;drawing-room.[ - i A lady, still beautiful and still young—young at,least fbr the mother oif'ol child -at fifteen— was sitting ithere embroidering. | Surrounded with every .beauty and every luxury—nestled in that lonely home, like a bird in a golden cage—bow strange 1 the (jhance which had thrown together anything so graceful as that lady and old Jew'broker, jYet they were well acquainted; that they werq even friends; for she rose when he entered, anjd advanced towards him kindly,and shook bajids with him, and petted him only as n woman can pet, without any visible overt act. But jill thjjt Joe seemed to wish for was to sit a littli, and watch her as she bent over her embroidery, and to hear again that she was contented and happy. “Are yon-certain, sure jhat want for nothing ?” inquired Joe ; “por Miss Margaret neither?” i i “ Nothing, Joe, nothing,” ;and the sweet lady looked up affectionately, as if she had spoken to a father. ... “Thai’s enough that is aJI I want,” muttered Joe, and then he Went back’into the depths of his quiet meditation, watching the lady’s face, and ever now and then glancing' round the room, as if tq see that all was right,and to find out where he could alter and improve. After this had. gone on for a short time, Joe'Mappin asked for Margaret in an uncouth way, strange ly softened, like a mastiff partly mesmerized. The lady rang the bell and Margaret came. It seemed to he the usual way in which she was summoned when the broker was there, for she qame at onoe, without giving the servant time to calLher. She also showed, the most unaffec ted grnlitude and love for tht old man, running up to hirb and taking his I and, calling him “Dear Jbe” ns if she meant St. “And|is there nothing that the little lady wants?”; said Joe, patting her head and her curls. “Has she gowns and bonnets enough, lady? f)r you know she has but to ask and have.” ' > . “ Why. Joe, I don’t wear ort such a frock in a week!” said Margaret laughing; “and it was only last Tuesday you gave that beauty, though I hadn’t yet half worn my blue silk.” Joe Mappin drew her between bis knees, and held her-face in his hands. “Silver and gold isn’t good enough for yon boiih!” he said with jalmost a passion of fervor in his voice, “ so never stint yourself for fear of me.” I But they both said again that they had all ey conlA require, “ even if they were prin sses in a fairy tower.” Margaret added ; d when; this assurance had! been repeated to most a wearisome number of tiroes, Joe Map a was contented, and so relapsed into silence ain. And there be sat till the last rays of: e'sun had gone, and candles had been brought they -Were of the finest whs, you may be re—a peculiar expression of tenderness on i mastiff face, ns he was (reading a sweet apter lovingly—listening to a, noble song nd turingly.

She understood the troth of his feelings, and was herself too noble to assume _a false dignity which- would have been less dig nified than the acceptance of hia generosity. She thanked him by her tears, and she kissed' his withered hand; and that touch bound old Joe Mappiri her-slave for life; the -first, last and. only time that a woman’s lips had ever touched him; and in this mannerdheir lives had passed for the last fifteen years. ..He'took a beautiful,little house for the wid ow'and her child, and furnished it with every luxury and beauty poscible. All that game in his way—dress, jewelry, furniture, ornaments —whatever it was that was rare and expensive he bought them. He lavished his money like water and thought nothing dear which would call forth a smile from or a’joyous expression from the child. Their pleasure re paid him everything; it was his heaven, his life. But the time was coming fast, now, when poor old Joe Mappin, the broker, must face the boundary lines between time and eternity, and learn the great secret. When the venter bad killed Mjrfearett’s .flowers, had stripped her geraniums of their leaves, and had frozen the songs of the birds, life old man and death stood face to face; His rheumatism and asthma lind bean very had for a long while ; and living in bis niggard,and neglected way had not given him the best chance of recovery. He knew he was,dying, but ho could not die in peace with out looking once mare on those two faces he ■loved so much—the only two he ever loved through the whole of his Jong life. They could not come to'him, for they did not know his ad dress, or even his surname. He was only “ Joe ” in the beautiful house in Regent’s Park, and the servants thought bo Was “ Misses’ queer old uncle perhaps from Ingeny or furrin parts.” But if they could not come to him, he would go to them—and must—whatever risk. He could nbt die happily—ho believed he could not pass away at all—without seeing them once more. Though tile seal of death was rigidly set oh his face, the old man resolved to make this long and perilous journey. He knew he should has ten the supreme moment, but it would be better even if ho did, he said, sadly. He had done all he could do now; ho had established the dear ones, and his death would not.deprive them now of a farthing, or a single comfort.— lie had saved enough fdet him die! He sent for a neighbor to dress him for the last, time, in his decent clothes; and when this was done— between fainting and long fits of pain—he told her to go for a cab, and bargain with the man for his fare up to Kegent’s Park. Because he was old and yeak, He wouldn’t be done even by the biggest ruffian among them, be growled out. When the woman left the room, old Joe dragged himself as best he could to a small iron safe he had let into the wall with his own hand. No one knew it Vras there—not even, the landlord, nor those prying eyes of little Teddy. He un locked it, and took out a roll of bank notes, rail way scrip, and mortgage bonds,, and tied them ell in a cotton handkerchief, together with' a parchment'tied with fed tape, sealed with a liig seal, and endorsed" Joe Mappings will,” in his own handwriting. He hid the bundle under his greasy old cloak ;, and then the woman came back,‘find found him panting and pale, and she screamed out that he was dying. But be swore at her between each gasp, and told her to hold her noise and to help him down stairs. And then half stumbling and half carried the old man got down the stairs at last, and so was put in the cab. , He gave the man his directions in an under tone, jealously guarding the name from the crowd standing curiously 1 about; and then he drove out of Holborn forever. -As he left his old neighborhood, with all its associations of the pitilessness and sorrow of whieh he had been-the instrument and the heartless caused a change seemed to "come over him. The mastiff face gradually grew more human ized. He was passing from the world of men and mammon, into that of love and death, and the evil influences of this material life faded before the purification of.this great baptism. ‘ The journey—it was a long one for a dying man—tired him' sadly. He did not care though for the pain it eaused him ; hie only fear was that he should die ere he reached his ; Home— the homo of his spirit, of his better and purer life, but he suEvived it—in a sad state of suffer ing and prnstratiob; 'and (inly just survived it ; for when carried by the cabman in his arms as if he bad been a child, he was brought to the presence of those loved ones, all that his failing life left him power to do, was to place the pack age in the window and ipurmur faintly "it is all yours,” and to die with her tears falling softly on his face. ' : ' . The case of. Tompson,‘ now under sentence of death in' Philadelphia presents a singular, phase and one which, probably has never bap-, pened before in any court in the. world. Some months ago Judge Thompson passed .'Sentence of death on John Capie, who was clearly con victed of murder in the first degree. Through some influence, he obtained apardoii from the Governor and was set at liberty,- Continuing his bad habits and frequenting his had haunts, Capie became involved in. some difficulty, with Tompson, who, in turn, murdered, the murderer. We now have the singular spectacle of a Judge, who sentenced one man to be hung.; passing a like sentence on another for murdering the one it was formerly passed both undoubt edly justly condemned to the gallows. - Truly this was blood'for blood.' The heart of-a healthy human'being in the prime of life gives 9&,000 strokes every twenty-* four hour?, . I MAKING- FUM- ; Once when traveling /in a stage coach I met with a young lady.who seemed to be upon the constant lookout.for something laughable her self, took great pains to “make others “do the same. • -., Nbw.-travefing in a stage coach 5s rather pro sy business. People in this situation are apt to chow themselves peeyish,and ; Selfish; so the young Indy's good .humor was, forp time, very agreeable to the travelers. Every.barn was made of a passing joke, whilri the cows ana hens look demurely on, little dreaming that folks could, be marry at their expense. Ani mals are irot-sensitive in that respect. They are not likely to have their-feelings injured be cause people make fun of them ; but when we come to human beings that is another , thing.. So ifseems to me, for ' after a while an old woman came running across the fields, swing ing her bag at the coachman, and in a shrill voice begging him to stop. The good natnred coachman drew, up his horses, and the good lady coining to the fence by the roadside,-squeezed herself through two bars, which were not only in a horizontal posi tion, but very near together. The young lady in the stage coachniadb some ludicrous rfflnnrk, and'the passengers! laughed. It seemed very excusable; fur in getting through the fence the poor woman had made sad work with her old black bonnet, and how taking a seat beside a well dressed lady, really looked as if she had been blown there by a whirlwind. This was a newpioce of fun,'and the girt made the most of it. She carricaturcii the old lady upon a card ; pretended, when she was not looking, to take- patterns of her bonnet, and in Various other ways tried toi ■ raise a laugh. At length •the poor woman turned a pale face toward her. “ My dear,” said ■She, “you are young, heal thy and happy; I have been so too, but that time has passed ; l am now decrepit and for lorn. ’ This coach is taking' me to the death bad of my child. And then, my ddar, I shall be a poor old woman,-all alone in a world where merry girls think me a very amusing object. They will laugh a): my old fashioned clothes and odd appearance, forgetting that the old woman has a spirit’that has loved and suffered and will live ! The'coach now stopped before a poor looking house,-and the old lady feebly descended the steps. • j “How is she?” was the first trembling in quiry of the poor mother. “Just alive,” saidjtbe man who was leading her into the hntlse.;. | ■ •-- -■ Putting up the steps, the driver mounted his. box, and we were upin the road again. Our mefry young friend h|vd placed her card in her pocket. She was leaping her head .upon her hand ; and you may be assured I was not sorry to see a War upon be|r fair young cheek. It was a, good lesson, add one which we hoped would do her good. | HTJSIOB AMD MUSIC. When humor joins with rythm and music, and appears in song, its, influence is irresistible ; its chanties are countless ; it stirs the feeling to love, peace, friendship, as scarce any moral agent can. The songs of Beranger are hymns of love and tenderness.
