"Within tho last year I havo lost moro It must havo been taken from the store. I know this for I know tho amount ofgoods which have boon sold, and I know howmuoh cash I have received. I began to bo watchful four months since. Two months ago a man paid mo in the i altcrnoon,hvo hundred dollars. I put it in tho drawer, and on tho next morning, be foro you camo iu, I looked at your cash account, and found only two hundred of that set down. From that timo I havo been very watchful, and havo detected a dozen similar ciscs. I have noticed everv promised to speak to no elso upon tho sub jeet, I concluded to keep quiet also. That night I counted my money, but made no entry on tho account. Thero wore three hundred and forty odd dollars. I put it in a new calf.kin pocket-book-placed that in tho money drawcr,and look ed tho wholo up iu the safe. Ou tho fol lowing morning 1 found fifty dollars miss iug. I counted the money over carefully, aud was not mistaken. My suspicions took an unwclcomo turn. During tho day I pondered upon tho sub- jeet, and finally hit upon tho following ex pedient : When 1 had locked up the safe for tho night, I spread upon tho knob of tho door, and upon tho monoy drawer, some paio red lead, being careful not to get enough on to be easily noticed. I had left the cash account open, to bo closed up iu tin morning. When I next opened the safe, all was as I had left it. The next night I fixed tho knob in tho same manner, and on tho morning follow, ing I found forty dollars goue. Upon tho pocKct-booli wero finger marks of read lead J aud when I came to open my cash book I found tho same kind of mark there. So I learned ono thin enough to sco w moved me. "Tho secret is locked up in my own breast j and neither to you nor to any human being will ever call tho name of tho ono whom I suspect." Tho stricken man grasped my hand, and with sobs and tears ho begged my pardon for tho wrong ho had dono mo, and thanked me for tho assuranco I had given him. Oa tho following morning he brought mo fifty dollars in eight different bills, with a red cross. "I know all now," ho whispered, in broken accents. "Re kind to mo, and let this not go out into the world." I kept my promise, and lived to sco tho old man smile again ; for when Henry saw the deep agony of his father, his heart was touched, aud not only acknowledged all his wild sins, and humbly begged for par don, but became a truo and good man, aud an honor and ornament to society.

It has nothing par ticular to do with tho subject under con sideration, though it serves to show how merchants sometimes lose money. When a mere youth I was placed in the storo of Jacob Wharton, a merchant doing a good business. I was frugal in. dustrious and faithful, and at tho ago of twenty-ouo I was advanced to tho post of Jollar tliat camo in after tho bank account book-keeper, with a good salary. I had I was ,uauo UP anu havo also taken note of chargf of the books and tho safe, and all j tUo iimouut entered upon tho book, and the money loft over after banking hours was aho in my care. I tried to do my duty faithfully and I think I succeeded .Mr. Wharton was a eloso, methodical man with a quick oyo and ready understanding or business, aud as I faucicd ho felt satis fled, I felt much pleased. 1 had bceu a book-keeper for a year when I thought my employer's manner to wards mo began to chauge. Ho began to treat mo moro coolly, and finally I was pure ho watched my movements with dis. trustful glances. I becamo nervous and unqasy, for I feared I had offended him. Hut tho thing camo to a head at length, Uno evening when I was alouo in tho store, engaged in making up my cash ac count, Mr. Wharton camo to mo with a troubled look and spoko. His voico was tremulous, and I could boo that ho ivas deeply affected. "George,,' said he, "I am sorry for tho conviction that has been forced upou mo ; I fear you havo not becu traaling uo as you should." I managed in spito of my astonishment to ask what ho meant.

I could only assuro my employer that I know nothing of it ; aud I saw that ho wanted to beliovo mo. I asked him if ho had spoken of this to any ono elso. Not a living soul but mo, ho replied. I pondered a few momenta and then said : "Mr. Wharton, could I bo mado to be lieve that oveu ignorautly I had wronged you to tho valuo of a dollar, I should not feci tho perfect consciousness of honor I now feel. There must bo a thief somo. where. Scmo of the clerks mav find ac cess to tho monoy. Rut aro you willing to let tho matter rest for a few days ? I will strain every nerve to detect tho evil doer." Ho finally consented to let me try my hand at detecting a thief, llo promised not to lisp a sylablo upon the subject to i ether my account had been made of the money beforo ho took it. I felt more unpleasantly than before, for my unwelcome suspicions wcio being con tinued. 1 had gained new light. Thero was a peculiarity in tho red fingtr marks that told mo a sad story. Still, I wished to try farther. I'or two nights after this tho safo remain, ed undisturbed, but on tho third night I missed seventy-five dollars morc,aud I had now set my trap moro carefully. Tho red pigment was not only used, but I had put a private mark upon every bill iu tho drawer. The pocket-book and cash book wore fiugcred as before, and tho marks were vcrytlear and distiuet. When the week was up, Mr. Wharton camo aud asked me what I had found. "Ah," said ho as ho noticed tho sorrow ful expression on my couutouance, "you havo failed to discover anything." "Alas, I wish I could say sol" I re plied. "I have discovered too much. Iu tho fir.st place tho moucy has been taken from tho safo, and tho key left iu the draw er and looked up as usual. Also, tho cash book has been one hundred and sixty five dollars taken iu all." "Rut how do you know tho cash book has been examined V ho asked. "I will show you," I said producing both tho cash and pocket books- "You sco those red marks ? I fixed a red ii"- mcnt upou tho door knob of the safe, and upon tho edges of the money drawer. You can sco these finger marks 1" "Yes," ho whispered. "Aud now," I continued, "just exam ine them carefully. See how tho leave s i of the cash book wero turned over, and al so how tho strap of tho pocket book was tucked into tho placo. Do you seo any uitig peculiar about it?" "Only that tho finger marks aro very plain." "l!ut you cannot distinguish tho thumb maiks from thoso made by tho fingors J" "Yes, I can." "Then tell mc this," I returned. u Which hind Ukl the thief use most ilex. tcrously in the work ?" Wharton gazed upon tho marks, and finally gasped-." The ft."
