"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

mistress with an ease and politeness which
told that she had not always been, in a
bumble cottage, invited him to enter.—
He complied, and a scene of poverty and
neatness met his gaze which he had ner
er before witnessed. 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! An Army Chaplin ] preaching to bm
,R; Company," IsOldiers,'exclaithed : "If God be with us;
Young man, you may learn from thiswho . can be against us?" Jeff Davis and
that it is not fine clothes that would win 'the devil l"'promptiy exclaimed one of

A STARTLING CONFESSION.'
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.

TOUCH NOT MY SISTER'S PICITILE.-
The foliptring incident was relatad by a
Confederate prisoner to an attendant, who
lby many acts of kindness bad won, his
I confidencez---
"I was searching for spoils noon , " the
dead and dying nbon a deserted battle
field, when I'iscovered a small gold locket
upon the person ofa dying boy, apparently
about fifteen years' of age. As I en
deavored io loose it fpm his grasp, he
opened his languid eyes and implored me,
by. all that was good and pure, by the
memory of my own mother, not to rob
him of his sister's picture. ,4311!" said
he, "It was her last gift. I promised her,.
when she kisssd my cheek at, parting,
that I would always wear it next my heart ;
in life or death:" Then, as if throwirm
his whole soul into the plea, he - exclaimed:
touch not my sister's picture I."
As the last words faltered upon his
tongue, his ' voiee hushed in death. By
the'dim light of the stars I hastily stooped
a shallow grave, and buried him with his
sister's,gictore lying upei his breast."
TURN THE HORSE.-A young Sprig . of
'docter once met at a convivial. party
several larks, who were bent on placing
in his hat a very large brick—or ' in plain
language, make him gloriously drunk—
which they accomplished about 10 o'clock
at, night.
The pookdoctor insisted on going, and
the, party accompanied him to the stable,
to assist him to mount the horse, which
they at length did, with. his fade to the
animal's tail.
"Hallo," said the doctor, after feeling
for _the 'reins, "I am inside out on my
horse, or face behind, I don't know which
—something wrong. anyhow."
"So your are," exclaimed one of the
!wags; just get off, doctor, and we'll put
you on right."
"Get off?" hiccuped the doctor—"no
you don't. Just turn the horse round,
and it Will all come right—you must all I
