TUB LEFT-HANDED THIEF
" flow many young men have been in
jured and perhaps Tioed by Use suspi
cion !" remarked my mercantile friend, as
we were conversing on the " panic," a few
evenings since; It stabs its victim, and
he knows not from whence the blow conies.
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

my lips tremblioi—and that toy utterance

my enervies —after gelving for faith and

upon me as 0. thief, and yet n tell me !
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

and then
Wh'artiin, edit(' I be made to be

you to the value of a dollar, I shou!d not

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. See how the-leaves
of the cash book were turned over, and
also how the strap of the pocket book was
tucked into its pla,ce. Do you see arty
thing peculiar about it ?"
" (July that the finger marks are very
plain "
" But can 'you not distinguish the
thumb marks front those maue by the
fingers ?"
-
" Yes, I ran " 111 t
_ n.
"'Then
tell me this," I returned.—
Which hand did the thief use must dexter.

burton guzed upon the marks and

" So he did,"•returntid I, " and all the

if base treachery. [A pplause ] The
providence of God, and the most sacred
compact of man, have made us one peo
[Applause.] The experience of three
quarters of a century has demonstrated
that in this unity of Governmetii the
people secure at once prosperity and hap
piness. [Applause ] The disthember
merit of these States would cause the
miserable fragments to become tossed on
the bloody sea of revolution and desola
tion, to become the prey of the spoiler,
and utterly destroy the last hope that be
longs' to us. [Applause ] Equally is
the public mind fixed in regard to the
importance of this war. It is not a war
of conquest, or of aggression, or of sub
mission, or of passion or revenge; but, in
every light in which it can be regarded,
it is a war of duty. [Applause.] The
struggle is undoubtedly a struggle f o r
national existence, and so holy in all its
purposes and in its spirit, that the flock
and the pastor those who Worship
around the shrine, or at the altar, may
contribute of their blood-and treasure, and
follow out their duty as Christians. [Ap
plause ] It is a war of duty, because in
the light of our Christianity, no man can
eMninit suicide without the perpetration
of cowardly and atrocious erhne, and that
nation has coati - flitted suicide, which
surrenders up its life to an enemy,
from whom humanity and courage might
save It. [Applause ] This is a war of
duty, because we have no right to bear
our fathers' names, and insult to a degree
their memories, by giving op the institu
tions won by their -blmiti to he trodden
tinder rem by traitor:. [Applause ] It,
is a war of duty, because we have no right
to bestow our names upon our children
''sitipped of the grand portion which
right l y belongs to them, and for the
transmission of which we are hound, in
honor of those illustrious men, to fi:it .
for, and to defend them with our swords
and with our lives [Applause ] It is
a war of duty because it defends the prin
ciples of public law nod order, and the
highest instincts of civilization of the
very race to which we holing,. It is
finally a war of duty because we have as
slimed to ourselves, as a people, the chain
pionship nut only of the right, but of the
capacity of the race for self' government,
and that championship has bean accepted
by the lovers of !freedom everywhere.—
Anil now, with the nations of the world
looking down upon us from the seats of a
vast ampitheatre, we have no right to
suffer this sacred cause to be stricken
down amid the scoffs and je vs of kings
and despots [I rcat applause ] Ilow

Fellow citizens, I do but utter a truth
which is paintully present to all minds,
that the disloyalty which is found in our
especially at Washington and in
the Border States, has been a fearful
!..ouree Of disaster and discouragement,
from the very beginning of the struggle.
[.l rii ,l„„ s e.] This evil has assumed such
proportions and Magni( udo, that its cor
rection now has become a prominent duty
upon the part of those charged with the
.Idministration. [Cheers.] Its preva
lence has been marked by all those treach
eries and excesses which have character
ized it in other lands and in other times.
[Renewed Cheers ] Next to the worship
of the Father of our spirits, the grainiest
and strongest sentiment of which our na
ture is susceptible is the hive of our
country. [Loud cheers.] When that
sentiment has . been corrupted, like an
arch frinn which the keystone has been
displaced, the whole moral character
tumbles into ruins. [Cheers ] The
public and private performances of trai.
tors and spies, both nude and female,
have been vouched for by all historians
until they have grown into a proverb; :
that man who will betray his country will
'otray his Cod. [Applause.] lle will
betr„y his friend, his kindred, and, if
need bt, the very wile of his bosom and
the chit nof his loins. - [Loud cheers.]
Fellow-c yens, suppose you lived in

fire-engine, and also a paid company to

The power of the Government can' tie
much to correct this evil; but much more
can be done by the crushing power of pUb

TM:stamen are, morally at least, guilty of
the death of those who tall in the defense
of the Government, just as much as if they

of '"That's so," and cheers.) In your
railroad cars, upon your steamboats, in

disloyalty should be branded and blit,:ted
as a leprous and loathesome thing. (Laud

Fellow eitizus s ,frl khow t tat there are

cerely believe that this Republic (the
question of public honor out of view) could
be severed ; that a peace could be patched
up, and that the two Governments, there
after, could live on, prosperously and
peaceful as before. No etc rc false or fa
tal thought ever crept, serpent like, into
the American bosom, (Cheers and cries
of "Cool,'' "good,") You might as well
tell me that the boat which has been
turned adrift above the cataracts of Niag

teries of nations, and lay your ear to the
sepulchres of those young, generous, and

that it is a delusion But if you will not

breathe its balmy air and cultivate its soil,
exhaustless fertility, living amid rivers,

them boldly, but use them successfully—
fir, looking upon the gr lvos or our fathers

It- is- such a' patriotism as this, and such
only,-thatwill conduct you to victory;
and Lrejoice to believe that that spiritl
has . been everywhere quickened through-
Oht the loyal States. The capitalists of
the country have come nobly forward.—
[Cries of " Hear, hear," and applause.] '
Riskin -4 all, they have exhibited a gran

ces, and suffers, and is prepared to put
all things at hazard, even in .the hour of
adversity and national defeat.—(Cheers.)
Unless the people can thui be united, the
sun of our National life, which is now ob

cries of "We'd deserve it.")
Fellow citizens, if I . may bo permitted
to utter a word upon such a subject, I'
would earnestly counsel forbearance and
patience in reference to those charged with
the Administration of our Government
[Cries of " Good !" Good'") Before'
criticising their conduct, we should remem
ber that we may not see all the field of ac
tion, and may pot be in a condition justly
teappreciate the difficulties which are to
be overcome. 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. That
which weakens him weakens yourselves,
and weakens the struggling country which
we arc all struggling, to save. (Applause.)
Ile is at this moment overwhelmed with
mountains of toil and responsibility, such
as have rested upon no public man in our
history, and is fully entitled to all the
support, and consideration which a gener
ens and warm-hearted patriotism can yield.
(Lett I applause.)
F e llow citizens, admitting all the dis
couragetnents which surround us, I have
still an unfaltering faith in human pro
gress, awl in the capacity of man for self
govern men t. • (Cheers.) I believe that
the blued which the true lovers of our
race have shed upon inure than a thousand
battle fi-Ids, has borne fruit, and that fruit
is the Republic of the United Slates. It
came forth lifmn the world like the morn
ing sun from his chamber ; its pathway
lute been a pathway of light and glory, and
it has poured its blessings upon this pee
pig, with t he brimming fullness with which
our rivers pour their waters into the sea.
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.) No page of
history-so dark and humiliating as that has
yet been written of any pinion of the hu
man and die American people had
bitter, fat better, never been born, than
that they should live and lame such a his
tory written of themziclves. (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. If we would economize both blood
and treasure, we should move promptly—
we should move wightily. •(
f, at this very moment, it were possible
to precipitate the whole of the loyal States
on the.fields of the South, it would be a
weaaure not only of wisdom, but of econ
omy and humanity. (Loud cheers,)—
Let us then have faith, and hope and cour
age, and all will yet be well.
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 !")
If I have done so, you will forgive the
freedom; I know you will, in this con
junction of public affairs, in which it has
been my firtune to address you. If I
had less intereSt than you—if I had more
interest than-you in the tragic events in
which we are placed, you might mistrust
me; but I haw precisely the seine. If
this Union is disinembered,‘and this Gov
ernment is overturned, the grave of every
earthly hope will be open at my feet, and
it will open at yours also (Applause.)
In the lives of families and of nations there
arise, from time'to time, emergencies of
danger which press all their members into
the same common family. When the
storm is shrieking and the laboring vessel
grounds in every joint, all on board—the
humble sailor and the most obscure pas
senger—have a right to speak upon the
great questipn of self-preservation ; and
even so, amid the heavy current of this
National crisis, I, an humble citizen of
this distraeted and bleeding country, have
ventured ct up the voice of counsel in
your thidst, I thank you for your most •
kind attention '
