TUE "Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes— An empty pocket is thecworst of crimes:" •Weston," said Mr. Dayton to one of his clerks, as they were alone in the spa chins counting-room, which was attached to the large store of which Mr. 'D. was proPrietor, "give me leave to say that I do hot think your dress sufficiently gen teel to appear as a clerk in a fashionable store." A deep blush suffused the face of the young man, and in spite of his en. deaVors to repress it, a tear glistened in his full, black eyes. "Did I not know that your salary was sufficient to procure more genteel habili ments, I would increase it." -"My salary is amply large sir," replied Weston, with la mortified air' but with the - proud inde , pendence feeling of which even pov erty ha , .l not been ale to divest him. ' Oblige me then, by changing your apperel , and presenting a different ap ptarauce in the future. You are wanted in the store." - Weston turned and left his ',employer, who muttered to himself, •, as lie took up his paper, "hew I do de testi these parsimonious fellows." - Mr. Dayton was a alma of immense wealth. He ;was a widower and had but one child, i a daughter, who was the pride of his de -1 clining years. She was as good as, an ;angel and as beautiful as she was good. 1 She was simple in her tastes and ap -1 pearance. Such was Laura Dayton when Weziton May first became an inmate of her father's house, and what wonder was lit that he soon learned to love her with 1a deep and ardent . affection. Though their tongues never gave utterance to what their hearts felt, yet the languag e of 9eir eyes were too plain to be mistak en. Weston was the very 801110 honor, and although be perceived with pleasure ; that he was not distasteful to her, still be felt that he must conquer the passion which glowed in his heart. "I must not Win her heart," he said to himself; "I am penniless,,and her father would never consent to our union."' Thus he reasoned and thus he manful 'ly endeavored to subdue, what he con -Isidered an ill fated passion. Laura had many suitors and some' who were worthy ref her, but she refused all their overtures I with'ldeeisive-yet gentle firmness. I Her father wondered at :her' conduct, , but Would not strive to alter her inclina tioni. He was in the - decline of life, and Iwished to see her' happily settled ere he departed this world. It was not long be fore he surmised that young Weston was, the cause of her indifference to others.—' The pleasure which she took in hearing him praised, .the blush which mantled ;her face when their eyes met, served to convince the old gentleman that they took more than a common interest in each other; He forebere to make any remarks on subject and was riot so'displeased at theithought as . Weston had imiagined he .wOulti be. Weston May had now been three years in his" employ. 'Mr. Dayton knew ncith; ing of, his family; but his strict integrity, good Morals, and pleasing manners con spired to make him esteem him highly; He placed unbounded confidence in him and was very proud of him. He often wondered at the, scantiness- of his ward robe ;, for although Weston dressed with the most scrupuhins regard to neatness, his clothes were almost thrdadhare, which Mr. Dayton thought _proceeded from a, niggardly disposition, and.ateordingly•he aderessed him - on the, subject as -before' related. Soon - after this conversation Mr. Dayton left home ,on business. As he was riding through a pretty little vil lage he alighted at the door-of-a cottage and requested a drink of iiater.

The furniture con - - . slated. of nothing more than was actually necessary, was so clean and neat, that it cast an air of comfort all around. A yen erable old man Eat by the window, staff in band. His clothes were whole but so, patched that they seemed the counterpart of Joseph's coat of many colors. "This is your father, I presume," said he addressing "It is, sir." "Ho seems quite aged." "He is in his eighty-thirdyear,and has survived all his children but myself." "Have you always resided here ?" "No sir; my husband was once wealthy but indorsing ruined him, and we were reduced to this state. He soon after died and two of my children followed him." "Have von any children living?" "One sir, who is my onlyisnpport.— My own health is so feeble that I cannot I do much, and my father being blind and deaf needs a great deal of attention. My son will no tell me how much his salary is, but I am sure he sends me nearly alll of it." "Then le is not at home ?" "No sir, he is a clerk in New York." - "Indeed! Pray what is his name?" "Weston May." "Weston May Is. it possible. ' Why be is clerk. I left him in charge of my store only , two weeks ago. Explanations followed, and Mr. Day ton soon left promising to call some otii • er time. "Noble fellow," said he mentally, as he was riding slowly along, and ruminat ing upon the call. "Noble fellow. I be• lieve he loves my girl, and he may have her and part of my money tco. Let me see," heie he fell into a thinking mood and by the time he reached home, be formed a plan which he determined to execute. How it terminated we shall see. Full of his new, plan, he entered the, breakfast room where Laura was awaiting his appearance. "So Weston is going to England," said he carelessly. "Sir 1" said Laura, dropping her coffee cup, "going to England ?" "To be sure; what of it, child 7" "Nothing—orily—l—we shall be rath er lonesome," replied she, vainly endeay.: oring to repress her tears. "Come, come Laura, tell me do you love Weston? You never deceived me, don't do it now." "No; well I—l do love him most sin-I cerely." "I thought so ! I thought so," replied he, as he left the room. "Weston," said he as he entered his store, "you expect to go into the country shorty, do you 7" "Yes sir, in about four Weeks." "If it would not be inconvenient, 'I wish you would defer it a few weeks louger," said Mr. Dayton. "I will sir, with pleasure, if it will oblige you." "It will oblige me greatly foi Laura is to be married in about six weeks, and I wish you to attend the wedding." . "Laura married," said Weston, starting I as irshot ; "Laura married "To be sure. = What ails the bey 7" "Nothing, sir, only it was rather sud den—unexpected." "It is rather sudden ; but I am an old I man, and wish to see her have a protector before I die. lam glad you can stay to the wedding" "Indeed, sir, I cannot stay," said Wes; ton, forgetting what he had just said. "You cannot ! Why, you just •now said yon would." "Yes sir; but my business requires my, presence, and I must go." "But you said you would stay with pleasure." "Command me in anything else, sir, bat in this ..I cannot oblige you." "Weston, tell me frunkly, do you love my girl ?" "Sir !" Weston seemed like one rak,- lug from a dream. "Do von love my girl ?" "I do,,sir." "Wil'ydit give me your mother for her ?" _ Afr. Dayton spoke earnestly. "My mother I what do you know of her ?" Mr. Dayton repeated the incident al ready related, and in conclusion said : "And.now, bop, I have written to your mother and offered myself, and she has accepted ; what have you to say ?" "That I am the happiest fellow on earth and proud to call you father," re plied the young man with a joyful face. A few weeks after a double Wedding took place at Mr. Dayton's mansion, and soon after a sign went up over a certain store, bnring the inscription of "Dayton!

Mordecai Paine, a sealer; doing Easi ness on North Ninth street, wae called from his work on. Saturday morning by a messenger who brought the melancholy intelligence that' his wife, Barbaxa, had taken arsenie.for the purpose of Commit ting suicide, and was then at the point of death. He hastened to her bedside, and found her more in agony of mind than body. She declared that there was some thing on her mind which she _wished to confess to him before her departure, with the hope of obtaining his fOrgiveness.—= Mr. Paine, with great emotion ; desired her to go on with her disclosure,l adding that she might assure herself of, his for-I leiveness before she had made knewn her offence. 'Ah I Mordecai,' said she, iyouxemem ber our large white pitcher mu l l broken some time ago; I pretended to you that the cat broke it, but that was , false, for did it myself.' 'Oh, my, dear,' said Mr. Paine, 'don't concern yourself about such a trifle. I had forgotten the pitcher, and it Imatters not how it was broken.' 'There is another matter,' said Mrs. P. after, some hesitation. 'The silver spoons I which I made you believe were stolen by the Yankee clack mender,`l pawned them to pay the milliner for doing up iny pink satin bonnet. 'Never mind it, my love,' said Mr. P. encouragingly. hope heaven will for give you as freely as I do.' After a short pause, Mrs. P. began again : ! I 'Your best razor, which you, missed last summer, and mad so much to do !about, I swapped it away to a Peddler, l for a tortoise shell comb.' • 'The deuce !—well, well,' said Mr. Paine, recollecting himself, 'that is all l done now, and cannot be amended. Think • l no more of it.' 1 • 'I could not leave this world with inch a thing on my, conscience,' replied ed tee) . ! fair penitent. • 1 'Go on, go on,' cried Mr. Paine; 'I told ;you that I would forgive everything at such a time.as this. Mrs. Paine. resumed : 'Yon remember our boarder,: Simon Drrke who ran nn a bill of six' weeks, and then ran off in a hurry without pay- I inr , a cent. He and I had agreed to e. elope together; but be changed his mind at the moment and ran away without me.' 'Fire and fury! do you dare to tell me l this ?' cried Mordacai in great excitement. 'But as you are dying, I won't reproach you. Dll leave you now to settle the affair with your own conscience.' , 'Stay and hear one thing more. The ! dose I took this morning was intended !for you, I put it in your cup of coffee, but lin my hurry to have ' the thing done, I, I gave you the wrong cup and tcioli the right one myself.' ~ 'The devil fly away with yon, you jade l' roared Mordacai, as be flung himself out of the room. In the entry he Diet the apothecary, who had sold Mrs. Paine the fatal powder. This medical man had heard of the commotion ,at Paineralhouse, and suspecting the cause of it, he came to administer hope land comfort to the afflicted. 'Don't be alarmed, -Mr. Paine,' said he, 'the drug I sold to your wife was nothing but magnesia. I judged that she wished to destroy herself, and I tricked her in this way to save her life.' • 'You swindling rascal,' shouted ',Paine,. 'how dare you cheat a customer in that shameful manner, and obtain her 'money on false pretences ? Begone And with this exclamation he viOlently ejected the astonished apothecary from his front door. The man of physic sus pecting of course that the poor Mordacai was (16.rano•ed, sent two officers to provide for his safe keeping. His relation !of the preceding dialogue, however, soon ob tained his discharge. 'SAD DILSTAICE.—A singular in cident in cident occurred at a wedding ih Troy lately.
