Or it may he like the keen frost which seizes upon the ears, the cheeks, or the nose, freezine• the flesh or driving back the life-blood, and yet the poor man is totally ignorant of his situation till he comes in ,iontazt with heat, and begins to feel the starting pain. Itut. I believe I never told you of the only time suspicion of evil was ever fastened on Inc. It has nothing particular to do with the subject under consideration, though it serves to show how merchants sometimes lose their MEI When a mere youth I was placed in the store of Jacob W harton, a merchant doing a good business I was frugal, in dustrious'aild faithful, and at the age of twenty one I was advanced to the post of 'book keeper, with a good salary. I had charge of the books and safe, al d all the money left over after banking hours was also left in my care. I tried to do my duty faithfully, and I think I succeeded. •Ir. Wharton was a close. methodical man, with a quick eye and ready understanding of business, and as I fancied he was sat isfied, I felt much pleased. I had been a book keeper for a year, when T thought my employer's manner toward me began to change Ile began to treat me More cooly, and finally I *as sure he watched my movements with dis trustful glances. I became nervous and uneasy, for I feared I had offended hint But the thing came to a head at length. One evenine. when I wac alone in the store, engaged in making, up my cash ac count, Mr. Wharton came to me with a troubled look and spoke. His voice was tremulon.. and I could see that he, was deeply affected. • • t;eorge," said lie, " I am sorry for the conviction that has been forced upon nic; I fear you have not been treating me as you should." I managed in spite of my astonishment, to ask what lie meant. " I fear you are not. honest!" was the reply. [lad a thunder bolt falen upon me I could not have been more startled honest! And there I had been for many year.; makin , zit thy — eTitoriii'm and study how to serve him most—fitithfully. I do not remember what. I said first—r know that, tears came into my cyes—that my lips tremblioi—and that toy utterance s almost choked Ilow lorm• had he h,1,1 . 4-tch suspicion ?

Oh ! I would not have believed it!" " Let us talk the matter over calmly," said the merchant, his oil kind tone con ing hack. • lie was touched by my agony and I could see he was wavering. I felt, at first, like, tellinu. him that he should have done this before, but as he seemed ready to reason now, I found no fault " You have spent considerable money of late." flow ?" I asked. " !lave you not built a house 7" " Yes, sir, and paid for it too, and have thus given my mother a comfbrtable home." llr. Wharton was stgagered for a mo ment by my frank and leeling reply, but pretty soon he asked : " What did the house cost you ?" " Just fifteen hundred dollars. My mother owned the land And I supposed you would know where I got the money. You sir, learned me how to save it. I have been with you six years The first year you paid me fifty dollars, and I laid up twenty-five of it. The second and third years you gave me a hundred dol lars, and I laid up sixty a year. The fourth yearyou made me a elerk,'and gave me five hundred. My mother was able to feed me, as our little cot answered for the time. I got along that year on an expense of seventy-five dollars. The next year you paid me six hundred dollars on condition that I would keep your books ; I saved five hundred of that This last year you paid toe one thousand, and I spent only the interest of what I bad pre viously invested, so that the thousand was not touched Of course toy mother has worked, but she wished to do it. I have paid fifteen hundred dollars for my house, and have five hundred dollars in .the sav ings hank This is a. plain statement of my a fridrs." My employer seemed more puzzled than before• " Now," said I, '' I have given you an honest statement, and will you be equally frank, and tell the all that has 'happened to excite this suspicion j" " I will," he replied taking a seat near me. " Within the last year I have lost more than two thousand dollars I It must have heen taken from the store. I know ibis, for I know the amount of goods- which have been sold, and I know how much cash I have received I began to ho watchful fOur months, since. Two wont Ls ago a un,n paid me five hundred dollars I Tint it in- the, drawer. and . on the rtext morning. befine you came in, I looked et your cash account, and found only. two hundred of that set down. From that, time I have been v.ery watchful, and have -detected-a-dozen similar: cases. • I Italie noticed every dollar that,• came in after t he bank accountmus_made.mp,. and -hive also taken note of the amount entered upon 'the book, and during that time there has been a leaking of over seven hundred dol lars!

There must be a thief some where Sonic of the clerks nifty find ac cess to the money. But are you willing to let the matter rest for a few days ? will- strain every nerve to detect the evil doer." • Ile finally consented to lot me try my hand at detecting the thief. Fle prom ised not to lisp a syllable upon the sub ject to any one else, and also to leave the matter wholly in my hands for one week. He gave me a warm grasp. when we sep a•ated and said he failed I would suc ceed. On the following morning I entered the store with all my energieS of mind cen tered upon the work before file. There were four clerks or salesmen, and one boy in constant attendance, besides myself, and all money received had to pass through my hands. Sometimes I made up my cash account. at night, and some times not till the next morning,. In the latter case I generally put the !money drawer into the safe, and locked it up Toe key to the safe was kept in a jsmall drawer, to which there were two keys, one which I kept. while Mr. \Vhar ton kept the other The only other per son who helped us in the store was I leery ‘N, harton, my employer's only son. a y.mth twenty years of age. Ile was preparing for college under a private tutor, but found time to help us who business w.ts driv ing lle was a kind hearted, gem rims fellow, and a stron , natural attae.h.knent had up between us. At- first I ' thour2,ht of gettin. , hint to help the find the thief. but as Wharton hail ptmniqed to speak to no one e - sempon the subject I concluded to keep silent also That night I counted my money, but made no entry on the account. There were three hundred. and forty odd dollars I put it in a new call-skin pocket book— placed that !o the money drawer, and lock ed the whole up in th.i safe On the 11)1- lowing morning f found fifty dollars ing. I eounte I the money over carefully, and I w not mistaken I homy) to feel very unple ,sent. My suspicions took an unwelcome turn. Daring the Illy I pondered upon the subject, and finally hit upon the following expvdient : When [ had locked op iho safe for the night, [ spread un , o, th • knob or he and upon the mow y drawer, some pale red lead, behhr careful not to get enough On to be easily notice I I had left the cash account (Ilan, to be e10. , 0,1 up in the morning When I next opened the safe all was as I had left it. The next night fixed the knob in the Sallie w inner: and on the following Infirm ing I found forty d dlars missing. Upon the pocket book were finger marks of red lead; and when I came to open my cash bm,k.,l found the same kind of marks there. So I learned one thing ; the thief knew enough to see whether my account hid been . lof niaLe the money before he too: it. I felt more unpleasantly than befor4lr my unwelcome su-picions were confirmed I bad gained new light -- There NV IS 'culianty in the red finger marks that to, .s e a sad story. Still, I wished to try farcci„.. For two nights alsc: this the safe re mained undisturbed, but on the third night I missed seventy five dollars more, and I had now set my trap more candidly. The red pigment was nut only used but I! had put a private mark upon every bill in t.: , e draver. The pocket book and rash were fingered as before, and the marks were very clear and distinct. When the week was up, Mr Wharton came to me, and asked me what 1 had hound. " Ah," said he, as he noticed the sor rowful expression on niy countenance, " you have failed to discover anything" " Alas, I wish I. could say so !" I re plied, " I have discovered too much.— In the first place the money has been ta- ken from the safe, and the key left in the proper drawer and lucked up as usual.— Also, the cash book has been examined each time to see if any entry bad been made of the money. There has been one hundred and sixty-five dollars taken in all." " But how do you know that the cash book has been examined ?" he asked. " 1 will show you,"' I 'said, producing both the cash and pocket books •' You see those red marks ? t fixed a red pig ment upon the door knob of the safe, and upon the edges of the money drawer.— You can see those finger marks?" "`Yes," he whispered. "And now," I continued, "just ex amine them carefully.

No man can doubt the courage or loyalty of the President of the States, (a burst of applause and enthusiastic cries of " No ! no !") or his determination to suppress this rebellion. To him, under the Constitution, the pop ular voice has committed absolutely the file of this Republic. Ills hands are en titled to be strengthened by ours.

I cannot admit to my bosom the crushing thought that in the full. light of civiliza tion, in the nineteenth century, such a. government as this is fated to perish be neath the swords of the guilty men now banded ioi , ether fur its overthrow. (Cries of " Never!" " Never!" and cheers.) I cannot, I will not believe that twenty mil lions RPpeople, cultivated, loyal, courage ous—twenty millions of the Anglo-Saxon race, hearing the names of the heroes of the Revolution, and passing their lives amidst the inspiration of his battle-fields— will sutler their institutions to be over thrown by ten millions, one-half of whom are helpless slaves, with fetters on their hands. (Loud applause.)

(Cries *of " it's so !" and cheers ) Lit us then, fellow-citizens, nerve and rouse ourselves - fully to this great work and duty. If It is to be don; well, it should be-done quick ly.

Fellow-citizens, I feel that I may have spoken to you to-night with more empha sis and with more earnestness of sugges tion than I am privileged to employ in your presence (Cries of "No !" "No !")
