His shtck of Schnapps on hand ready fur shipment could not have been less than thirty thousand cases; the Brandy, some ten thousand cases Yinta?.- of 1SC0 to 1856; aud ten thousand cases of Ma-leira, Sherry and Port Wine, Sc itch and Irish Whisky, Jamaica and St. Croix Rum, some very eld and equal to any in this country. lie also had three large cellars, (i:l-.l with Brandy, Wine, &c., in casks, under Cust-.m-Hoi-.se key, ready for bottlmg.

MISCELLANEOUS. TUEDCTCCTED XXI AI fUR, r 'fir WILLIAM U. PCS. The proud and. wealthy James Agmoor. silk and velvet rnerchact of Broadway, New York, was'jaat entering bis superb bazaar, as one of his clerks respectfrlly saluted him, and started to go out. Mr. Clair, I fcha.il desire your presence in my office ere long," said the merchant. 'Do not leave the store until I have spoken with you.' Tker?-an ornlnioua . sternness in bis tone that attracted tbe quick ear of Thornton Clair, and as he gazed 00 his pompous chief, who strode on with unusual haste, his eye caught that of Hiram Mould, the cashier, peering with unconcealed malice through the xnagohaoy bars of his desk. Tbornton Clair had arrived four months before from some city of the far West, and npen spplyirjg to James Agmoor, his manly and iutelligent face had so pleased that gentleman that bis services were immediately accepted, and Tie was given tbe responsible post of collector. This was by no means Agreeable to the en vious Mould, nor did his vexation diminish as he saw that James Agmoor daily grew more and uicro attached to the youth. While Clair stood awaiting the expected summons, and as Mr. Agmoor entered Lis private office, the cashier moved from his seat aud following his principal, carefully closed tbe -green baze door after hiei. It was strauge to see the proud and pom pous air of the lordly merchant change to one of ill-concealed fear and disgust as the cash ier bade iiiin good da aud seated himself netr him, facing hiai, and having the office table between them. lou have considered my prepositions James Acmoor, said he, iu a smooth, 80rt voice, sleek and eilky as the precious fabric that were about Lim. James Agmoor buried his face in his hands for a moment, and then sweepiug Lack Lis snow white Lair, said, hukily: 'I have! Hiram Mould, I have!' and his face pale and red by turns, again sought the covert of his trembling bauds. 'I have told my daughter that you demand her for a wife, isne toli me Ij tell you that she would rather be a beggar in the streets than the wife of I lira en Mould.' "Did you tell ber all?' 'I toll Ler all, burst from tbe quivering lips of the merchant. 'I told her that Hiram Mould M-if-atc master of her father; that ere she was born I h'd committed a crime a crime whose ever present guilt ha Liaucaed nay Lair before I have reached my forty-fth year ' And tLen she relented? i?be asked me to tell Ler of that crime," replied Agmoor, and as Le -spoke Lis eyes grew Lright aud Le looked Hiram Mould full in the face. I told Ler. She said the deed was not a crime that the blow was dealt in stlf-dvfence that killed Charles Harper. And so it was, Hiram Mould; yoc know it was.' Were we in court, I, the only witness of the act, James Agmoor, I would swear that it was premeditated murder.' Jamet- A gmoor's eyes closed with a shud der, aui ajaio the trembling bands Lid the paiiiii five. I wouid swear, rcsamed Hiram Mouli, as his sharp, white teeth bristled from Lis 6neericg bps, 'and the jury would believe every word, that one summer's evening, some twenty years ago, I saw James Agmoor, who Lad refused to tight in fair and opcu combat with Charles Harper, crouching amid the Lushes tbut bordered the Jersey woods, aud as Charles Harptr was riding uLsu-pectingSy by, I saw James Agmoor spring from his covert, and ftrike Lim to the earth with a club I would swear that James Agmoor then aud there murdered charles Harper, and buried the body where I could find the bones; aye, the watch that should ideutify the body.' All false!' cried tbe merchant arousing himself for a momsat. ''Twas James Ag moor who was dragged from his horse by Charles Harper! 'Twa3 Hiram Mould who pronited the assault for purposes of Lis own because Le Lated each with a deadly hate. You Hiram Mould, first made us, who were till then, bosom friends, Litter enemies. He struck me, I returned the blow; he drew Lis knife and stabed me; but before I fell sense less I wrested the weapon from him and dealt him a fatal thrust that prostrated him also. We fell together alike unconscious L in a , 1 mart J t IT.. swoon, he deaa. i ueu sense auu iceuu ic- turued to me, I was in your house, lou, Hiram Mould, Lid the body where you can fiud the remains to couvict me! The public believe that Charles Harper was murdered, you created that belief; but to use uie all my life you taok successful care that the finger of suspicion shouli not point at me, lest the law f-uould kill the goose that lays the golden egg " While the tortured man was saying an mis. fr more incobereutly than we Lave written it, the unmoved conspirator Lad rapidly kctched a picture of gibe ted felon, aud as the merchant concluded Hiram 3Iould placed the significant sketch before him. Such will be your fate, if Ilachael Ag moor refuses to become my wife, said be, poiutiDg at tho hideous figure with his long, lean finger. Again the merchant yielded before his ter ribU threat, and his head sank upon Lis bo som. Now call in Thornton Clair, and dismiss Lim at once, said Hiram, sternly. 'He loves .e..r rlano-htr she. nerhacs loves him. You have foolishly allowed him to visit at your Louse. It shall be my care that Thornton Clair shall not find another employer in this city.' I am in your power groaned the unhap py man, rising and opening th door, but as be did eo. Lis daughter Rachatl stepped quick ly from tbe flic of Thornton Clair, with whom she was eagerly conversinir, acd said: I wish to see Hiram Mould, lnimedintely. dear father,' and gliding by her astonished partut. the entered the private office. The merchant closed the door and turned to address hiscLili Tall and eaeeniv in person, a lovely brun ette of eighteen summers, with- large black eyes, usually full of softness, as became her ainhtble and affectionate nature, but Ler Hashing scornful fires as her red lips curled with t-catLiug contempt, Eachael Agmoor mentioned to her father to h er p-ause. and for a moment bent her gaze upon Iliraui Mould. He seemed ill at ease those superb eyes slowly scanned him from Lead to foot, bath ing him. as it were, in norldless scorn, lie rose ij his feet, and recovering Lis natural coolness, said: I am bappy to sec that Miss Eachael Ag moor considers so bumble a person as Ilitaiu Mould worthy of so continued & gaze.' 'This is the thiugthat dares to hope to call me wife" said Ilachael, and the words were cutting, the tone and manner penetrated to the marrow of the rascal's Loses, and Hashed bitter wards to bis white lips. 'The thing is honored ui being so called my haughty dimscl. You. are proud liachael Agmoor, bt the titue shall now. come me as when you shall be as humble before tbe trembling man near you.
