BY CAILL CLXTRE
Joshua Staples Ras born up among the Green
Mountains, and until the age of twenty-one,
labored contentedly on big father's- farm About
this time a maiden aunt died, bequeathing blot
what in his eyes seemei the enormous sum of
one thou-and dollars. Then for th e fi rs t ti me
Joshua imbibed a strong distaste for his hith er t o
contracted sphere of life, and announced his
determination to "go down to B oe tn eo ," and
get into business there
"Whir:. the 0w...f Atayin . round here?,' said
e, emphatie‘lly—• a feller that's got capital"—
bere be slapped hil a ,left bind on his beeches
pocket—"ean do somethin` better than work at
tateri for ten dollars a month." .
"I'm afraid, .T , Ahni," 4aid his mother, sol
emnly, "that yer money 'll he the ruination of
yer.'
"Don't fret, mother," was the reply "I guess
I know a thine or two They'll find me wide
awake, they will—l'm up to ill their tricks
They won't cheat me 4o ease "
The remonstrances of Mr. Staples, senior,
proved tr. m Joshua disdained the
idea of buying a tarm at a little aistanee from
his fathret The rnier• rf enterprise called him

In due time. Joshua r. ached ‘Bostomen,' which
to his untritorf ri evr-s, s. dine 1 a very Babel of
iiievicirdent sonniN, CUP! magnificent beyond eom
psrison.
Securing board in tbc family of a relative to
which he bad been recommended, he began to be
on the look not IT business Meanwhile he had
made himself acquainted with the 'lions' of the
New England metr.polis, not escaping the impo
sitions and trials which are wont to befall no.
sophisticated emintrymen in the city. Of these
little need be said, as the reader can easily iota&
ice their molar.. We r•-turn to Joshua's prima
object, which was to Fectire a good investment
for bis money, an,l “btain employment
in looking over a penny paper, his s attention
was arrested by the following advertisement

"That's just the ihing for me!" exclaimed our
friend Joshua, laying down the paper excitedly:
"just the thing, end no mistake! I'll go and
see about it"
Joshua bad act:aired sufficient knowledge of
tie city during his frequent rambles, to eatable
him without difficulty to find the place indicated
in the advertisement. Re went up two pairs of
stairs, and found his way into a small office fit.

in the latter of which Sat a gentleman
dressed in_fashionable style, smoking a cigar.
"Ts this Mr. Dash?" inquired Joshua awk
wardly.
"That's my name," said Mr. Dub, very ur
banely.
"I saw an advertisement that you writ in the
papers, and—
" Precisely," said Mr. Dash, with still greater
politeness. "Pray walk in and sit down. And
you came to see about it did you?"
"Why yes, I thought I'd call You see, I've

Mr Dash took clown from a dusty she4f a
thick ledger which appeared to be filled with ac•
counts. This he placed on the desk, and beside
it, one which was as yet blank. -
"Here," said be, "I want the accounts in this
ledger copied into the other. Be very partidu•
lar to copy them carefully and accurately. You
needn't try to be quick about it. 'Take your
time, but do it carefully That's my tnotto.'
"This looks like business," thought do,hua, as
perched upon a high stool, be dipped his pen in
the ink, and commenced his task. Re bent over
the desk and labored till the perspiration came
out in big drops upon bis forehead. Ile began
to think, after all, that it was something like
work
Meanwhile, his employer, who had been read
ing tho morning paper, laid it dog. "Better
stop and rest a few minutes," said be, indul
gently. "I am obliged to go out en baldness.—
You can be reading the morning paper till you
feel like going 40 work again. If I •beuldn't be
in by one, you can go to dieter then; but be
sure to he book by ball past two."
That eight Joshua's Angers were so benumb
ed with writing that be did not feel like inditing
a letter home. The next Sunday, however, be
wrote a letter to his,father, giving a glowing ac
count of his success, and speaking in the most
tattering terms of his employer
"I wonder what motber'l say nowt" the letter i
ootielettled. "Ain't it a little better workin' for
twenty dollars a week, and easy work at that,
than to work bard all day farmin' for only ten
dollen a month and found? I guess I *bud
come back again jest yet. I wonder what Sakey
Snipe 'll say when she ands I're-got into busi

my offer, I expect. Bat it's top late now. I,
guess I could marry most anybody now, but I
shallk my eye•teeth cut and not choose in a
burry•idon't cars, as long as it pays so well.
Mr. Dash is alrat rate sort of a man anyhow,
and bas got a tremendous lot of money.- I
shouldn't wonder if be was the richest man
in Batmen. Perhaps some time or othir I
shall go into partnership with him."
Thi s l e tt er created a great sensation in the
birth place of Joshua Staples. The whole taw
rang with the rumors of his extraordinary good
forttine, and no less than ten buxom country
lasses told Mrs. Staples how much they'd always
thought of :calla, and Doped she would send
their love to him when she wrote, While as many
young men inquired through the same medium,
whether he couldn't Mid places for.them "down
to Bestows."
On the siztb day of Joshua'. apprenticeship,
his employer eon'. into the office hastily, and
told him that imperative business called him
to New York, where be might be absent several
days.
"FlowCver,"said be, uthat won't interfere - with
your writing—you can come to the Aloe every

were here. Here is the key of the hike. Be
very panic/shit to look it up whenever you go
out It isn't everybody, Mr. Staples, that I
would trust so far, but I feel that 1 may confide
in you.''
Joshua was exceedingly flattered by this mark
of cotldence, sod promised that everything
should go oe jest as if Mr: Dash were there
himself.'

"Mr. Dash be blasted!" said Joshua roughly
"Merciful heavens! Is the boy demented?"
"I wish I was," said Icabua,•bittsrly. "Moth

seen Bostowto!"
"What is the matter, Joshua?"
"I've lost all my money!"
"How, for gracious esker". .
"That confounded rascal, Dash, has gone off
with it, and I shall never see it again—never!"
Here Joshua yielded to the strength of his
feeling, and boo-booed with great energy while
his perplexed mother unskilled in the phannaco
posit of grief, prepared himrsome camomile tea,
which be indignatly rejected.
It was a sad termination of Joshua's towering
hopes, but time brought solace. He after a
while resumed the ooeupatin of farming, and
now cultivates the farm adjoining his father's,
which be occupies together with a buxom Omni
try maiden. Years have .paused since his un
lucky visit to 'Boatown,' but be cannot even hear
the name without indulging in a hearty adjura
tion against the treacherous Dash, who, it is to
be hoped, if he his any regard for his personal
safety, will never fall in with his quondam clerk,
Joshua staples.
Tilt ALEANY SUICIDI..—Tbe other day we
chronicled the suicide at an Albany Hotel of
Champlain L. Fletcher, who bad lost at the

the Oswego nays says of him:
Poor " Champ!" We knew him well. As
early friends and schoolesatea, our acquaintance
was long and intimate. His father, resides at
Bridgport, Vt., and is one of the wealthiest men
in that State. The deceased married a young
lady of Orwell, who io her own right was esti.
mated to be worth 1100,000. We were attend•
ing Reboot at Hridgport, when in the fall of
1886 our friend set out for Orwell to spend the
winter where he bad tilken a school, disclosing
to us his intention to win the young lady who
became his wife, we regret to say, not for her
self, bet for her mosey. After his marriage,
taking up his residence in Orwell, we partially
lost sight of him. \We only know his habits

receiving this approbation, that be ventured to
say to him, "I believe yon are a good boy."—
These words not only entered at the ear—they
reached the heart. I will not adopt the strong
expression which I once beard from the Bpi of a
very, 4 . ateltigent Jesuit, and say that the teacher
had found a master key to the soul of his disci

son, give me thy heart," had not been thus at.
'lently made, in vain. The lad told his associate*,
that, though others Lad said he was a bad boy, i
Mr Tomo had told him he believed he was a
good boy, and he was sure he wished to be a good
boy.
Not long after, the school agent ease agate,
and earnestly tegaired that this boy ihnid be
dismissed from the school. With this request
Me. Towne refused to comply '• and said that be
"liked the appearance and co nduct of the boy,
and thought that", with some little illustrations
of the laws of kindness he would sake himself
known to the world as a useful eitisen."
This youth continued to attend the school
daiiy 'tad steadily and profitably, for two; win
ters. At the close of the second wilder the
father came to Mr. Towne and said. "Bill says
that you say I mast send dale to college, sad
have him fitted with some private family, sot at

Towne what be had seen in Bill to justify the
idea of sending him to college. "1 see,”• said
Mr. Tewae, "a b that you will beet front in

Mr. Lyman, of Coaneetieut, es intraetor.
This course wis . followed i

Upon the tidier of Mr. Marcy'* decease, I
bad a wish to tell this interest' eg story to the •
world. Ft/willing to trust entirety to my mem.
ory, I addressed a letter to my friend, General
Towne, and communicated that wish to him...-
His reply is now before me, in which he sap;
"Please say as little of me as you can. It can

rip of a horse belonging to a Doctor was to be
sold at auction. He was advertised rs "a cele•
brated horse—kind in harness—bad made his
mile inside of three minutes—was handy at
plough—and sold only beoluee,the owner had
no further use for him."
On the day of sale a crowd gathered—ansoog
which was the Doctor, whom the horse no sooner
saw than he began to manifest signs of uneasi
demi, which the auctioneer called life and spirit!
'the first bid was seventy.five dollars, and soon
run up to one hundred—one hundred end twenty

Ya 4IBBOY AS A $OllOOl. BOY.
The following interesting anecdote, from the
Boston Transcript, of the Ist, is said to be from
the pen of Lucius M. Sargent :
This is a short preface to a abort story, which
interested me, when I heard it, many years ago,
and which a tomtit event has freshened up in
my memory. I esonot remember the year.—it
waa.long ago—that I passed the night under the
hospitable roof of the Boa. Snl Towne, of
cbeetton, in the county of Worcester. 1.1.; we
sat together in the evening, and were speaking
of education and of schools, Mr. Towne informed
me that about the year 11300, bs taught escheat
in the southwestern district of Charlton. An in
habitant of Sturbridge, the adjoining town, bad
a son, of whose abilities and general character he
appeared to entertain a low estimate, and of
whom he spoke to Mr. Towne "disparagingly as
a boy who gave him trouble.:' Mr. Towne, not.
withstanding-Ws paternal fore-warnidg, consen
ted to receive the lad on probation.
On the evening of the very first day; the
school agent came to the teacher, end told him
that the boy was a bad boy, and would disturb
the whole school, and must, be turned out. The
agent, vtry probably, received his impression
from the injudicious parent, who seems to have
made no secret of his opinions. Mr Towne re.
jested this hasty eounael, and informed the agent
that he should keep a watchful eve upon the lad,

related by another- gentleinan, newly returned -
from she continent, of a barrier , duel that had
taken place in Paris. A young Englishman--a
mere boy—had been despoiled in a gambling
bode in the Plaids Royal, had charged ar certain
Count with cheating him, had gone out with the
Count, had wasted his fire, and had been slain
by the Count under the frightful oireunustanoet
of the Count's walking up to him, laying his
bend on his heart, saying, "You are a brave
fellow—have you a mother?" and on his reply.
iag in the affirmative, remarking coolly, "slam

out.
The gentleman on the Ittarth rug. pakuled in
tatiog a pinch of snug' to hear the story, and
observed with great placidity, "1-am afraid-1
must kill that rascal."
A few nights elapsed, during which theigreen
room hearth raf was without him, anifliree he
re-appeared precisely as before, and only incident
ly mentioned its the course of the evening,
"Gentlemen, I killed that rascal!" He had gone •
over_to Paris on purpose, and tracked the Count
to the same gambling house, had thrown's glass
of wine in his fees in presence of all the com•

done it by patting the Count out of this world,

The following is too good to be lost. ' We
clip it from an exchange paper, and respectfully
call the attention to it of certain persons who
feel disposed to spread in the newspaper line:
"A young man who ardently desired weal dimes
visited by his Satanic majesty, who tempted bin
to promise his soul for etemity, if he scald ban"-
plied on this earth with all the money he oouki um.
The bargain was concluded, the devil was to Imp
ply **money, and was at last to have the soul,
unless the young man could spend more money .
than the devil could furnish. Years passed away;
the man married, was extravagant in his living,
built palaces, speculated widely, lost and OA
sway fortunes, and yet his coffers were always
fel. He turned politician, and bribed his .way
to power and fame, without reducing his "pile"
et gold. He became a "filibuster , and fitted
out ships and armies, but his blinker honored all
his drafts. He went-to St. Paul to live and
paid the usual rates of interest for all the money
e could borrow, but though the devil made wry
faces when he came to pay the bills, yet they
were all paid. One expedient after another
failed; the devil counted the time; only two years,
that he must wait for the soul, and mocked the
efforts of
.the despairing man. One more trial
was resolved upon—the man started a newspa
per! The devil growled at the bill at the end of
the fret quarter, was savage in six months, mel
ancholy in nice, and broke, "dead broke," at the.
ehd of the year. So the newspaper went dolts,
but the soul was saved."
Ha "CoULDN'T STAND THAT. "-A young
gentleman of our acquaintance, who had been

say) to a young lady, for some time, suddenly
