Tho next, a little girl, took it up promptly : ",Plural—First person wotove, second person you love, third 'person they lovo." " And we all love." The interruption came it, a whisper loud enough to be heard all over the room, causiox,tlLolder bop and to giggle ; and the teacher, a 143 Aye Burnett, looked glancing. along the row of scholars on the back seat—young roue and women, Tor this was a country school, and iu the winter. Slut had come to look for trouble in that quarter. Every day came- some eresh aggravation of the rules and offense against the discipline, made it hard work for her, a girl of eighteen, to maintain her authority over forty turbu lent spirits, constantly incited to insub -oidination by the example of their ac knowledged leader, Scott Goldrioli. Ile sat there at the further end of Ott bench, quite in the bonier, a good-look ing young man Of twenty, with curly chestnut hair and mutinous curl of the lip; with'head bent low over his slate, and the fingers busy M figuring out HOMO difficult problem in Itilthmetic. Ent Miss Burnett was not .deceived by the apparently studious air. And there Was anundertone'of resolute determina tion in her voice as 8116 said, looking over the forty faces before her': "These interruptions must come to an end at once. 'There is a point ;whero fotboarance ceases to be a virtue, and I think it has passed. Prom this point . I shall enforce every rule of the school.

The thought came, at last that it was - unmanly for him to try her so. put right or wrong, her word was. pan( d and must be kept ; her authority was assailed 'and must be maintained now or lost altogether. To falter now was to give up all.; So calling up all her nerve, though hor head throbbed crazily, silo closed book quietly, dismissed' the class and . faced tlio school as she said : "Thu SI+11):11' who N% h ispered tbat last tim6 will please stej) forward." There was a dead silence LH: an in stance, then, Scott Gold rick left Lip coat and walked up to where the youing teacher stood. No boyish inisehief was in his .manni:r no munching defer ence, no show or defiance, but; instead, a quiet manliness, that was harder to meet than ;my briivado would .have been.

Scott Goldriak heard of it in the distant 'City, whore ho was liv ing, and said "Such a pity ! She was ono of a thousand, and deserves a bet ter man than that." Well, Paul Logan was better man than Scott Goldrick's wor4 seem to imply'; and better still, L is gold brought all comforts to the helpless mother until she died, and a home with,all the ad vantages of wealth' to two little sisters. And now, with her husband two years i Cho grave Mrs. Logan weirit freely in to society once more.

Hero it was within my grasp; I had but to seal up the envelope by re-wetting the wafer, in closing half tho mousy, and deliver it sealed to the agent, and my trust, would be, to all appearance, faithfully dis charged. Ones the thought occurred that possibly it was a trap. set for me by my employers. But their confidence -in me was unbounded, and the suspicion was dismissed. Ido not attempt to glaze over the dishonesty of what I con- templated ; but I had been unceasingly worried and annoyed' by domestic two- Lies ariSing from limitbd resources, at so persecuted b creditors, that I a most argued myself into the cont•ictio that appropriating the money was simply authorized self•defouco.

Arrived at. this conclUsion; my attention again ilirned to my host and his wife. I could hear his voice 'n,lom now. It had been sounding long in a. somewhat elevated tone fin. some•irdttionts. I crept quietly to the partition dividing their apart ments from the passage. The bright autumn moon, which was on their side of thfase, bhono through their win - dows)i d through the spaces between the shrunken plonks of the partition and out into the passage, and upon its floors, in brilliant,bars of light. It was easy for mu to bee what was passing within. the room. Man. and wife were kneeling at• their bedside in prayer—the man, with uplifted head and closed eyes, uttering . an earnest supplication, his wife beaide him, and ono arm passed .alfeetionittely through ono of his, and her head resting against hie shoubler. They were kneel: ing at the'sido of the bed opposite,to rue, and, hii face, was plainly visible.

While the thoughts which I had 'revealed wore passing through my mind, I heard voices in the other' bedroom, and qu' l .7-1 opened my door, - which my host had'dlesed behind him. Standing_out in the pas Sage„ I could distinguish a man's and a woman's voice. At first Weil. language Was un intelligible„ Imt.gradually ,niy ear be same accustomed to the duty I crideaA ored to put it to, and I could distin guish that the burden of their talk was their domestic expenses, and the gen eral current of their thoughts was the difficulty of getting through with certain undertakings which'they rtid in contem plation, or had commenced. It' was evident that the'inan Was more hopeful tlffiu ,the woman. My excited imagina tion A'once trained. the theory that the treaSure in my possession was designed by them to solve this difficulty, and that the 'reluctant man was being urged oii by the less scrupulous orhrave woman. A. sudden movement of ono of them toward the door caused me to retres into my iooni. I heard the bolt of their door move, and supposed it was to on fasten it, I hurried ~haclt- -t o my own apartment and caught at the envelope, . - intending to hasten it out of sight.

I had half-decided to turn away and drive these thoughts from my mind, when I 'observed some thing "moving in a small crib that was placed at the side and toward the foot of their bed. Its occupant, a grandchild, whose parents they 'had informed me, Were dead, awakened probably by its grandfather's -voice, rose rtp,' 'aittimd and settled down upon its knees, and clasping its little hands as its grand father's wore clasped, and looking up ward, out. ;through the window at the moon, vtl4ise bright-light fell upon its darling faeO, began moving its lips as if trying to repeat the words. Nothing so like an angle ever net my sight. The ‘ lithe fellow " seemed, to have this by heart.. He ropeatediit word for, word,, his tiny, silver voice sounding in , sweet accord. I could not turn away, nor any longer resist the better emotions , which .j. had hitherto kept down. A, rush of , repentant feelings passed through me with an effect that shook every fibre.. I fell upon my knees, and with fears streaming from my eyes, joined - in the concluding words of the priiyor. 1 need not say I changed my mind with regard ,to the- money. I.passed quiet night and rose early and hastened away towards my journey's end, so as to give myself the least possible time or opportunity for changing my new formed resolution. , In handing the package to the agent, I said to him,. that as the:e was. money in it, it might as well be . opened in my presence, to see that it was all correct, etc. Be, of course, discovered the error, and handed me back the iiinount that was over with which I returned home :yid delivered it lip to the Troper owners in due time. It was fortunate for inn in every way that 1 pursued the coo rise I had adopted. It appeared that the money had been obtained from the bank after bank hours, in the ;thsence of the teller, from one of the officers. There was no loose money on hand of the larger denominations, but there were sheets of thousands and five hundreds signed by the PresidAt and Cashier. Either two sheets , ere picked up in mistake for one, or the wrong batch of sheets wore selected from, that is, thousands were taken in stead of live hundreds. The notes were mr-riedly-elipped,--strapped, rind indorse( "3,000" without re-counting, and an co- - veloped, handed over to me. The bank had discovered the error, ;aid fio doubt. was entertainedbut that the missing money was with roe.. Whether I should have had the face to withstand the im sputatioo, even with the apparently undisturbed condition of the envelops in my favor, is more than I can say, but I doubt it. But the note% in pursuance of a pre caution still in use in some banks, v,•_cre payable tothe order of one of the clerks, and had not boon indorsed by him. I could not, therefore, have used them, or it so; they could have been traced back to me. I found, also, that the numbers hail been carefullyoscertained of all I had taken with me, and thus another chance of detection existed.

My precaution of haying the money opefied by the agent in my presence was_ highly commEmded, 'and the possi bility of his misappropriating the undue amount—as very little personal knowl ed'ge of him was possessed by the firm . —was duly, discussed. What was said on this poifit brought blushes to my cheek. " Iu course of time my senior account ant was taken into the firm.

"How silly I am !" she murnthrod to herself. ."It will be butit"or ajear or two at the furthest, and ho has much more to endure and battle with than I." And Lillas repined at the fate assigned to her in the great play-bill of the world. It was hare) to realize the truth of the blind poet's words, that " they also servo who only stand and wait."
