COUDERSPORT, POTTER. COUNTY, PA,, WEDNESDAY APRIL 51,1865.•
He picked it jup and to his great joy
found it to be , a'ten dollar bill..
The first thought that flashed upon
him was "How much good this will do
Mary. I can buy her the oranges she
wants, and , she shall have some every .
day. And perhaps she would• like a
chicken."
Bata moment later his countenance
fell.

"Still," algid ,the tempter, "he will

determined to go to . Mr. Hubbard's
before he , went home. The sight per
haps of-his sick sister might weaken his
resolution, and this must never be.. He
, must preserve his integrity at all hazards.
He knew where Mr. Hubbard lived.
It was a large fine looking house,_on a
fashionable street. He had pSssed it
several
,times and rendered • whether a
man must not feel happy who was able
to live in such style.
Without any unneCessary delay, be
therefore went to the. house,. and 1/sand
hi., the steps, rang the bell.
• ,
A man aervent came to the door.
"Well ?" he said.
"Is Mr. Hubbard at home 2"
"Yes, but he has only just come in.
and" don't think he can see you;" was
the ,rather supercilious reply.
"I am in his employ," said Edward,
quietly, "and I have just come from the
store. I think he will see mel if you
mention this to him."
"Very well, you can come ins"
Edward was left standing in the I all
whilc Mr. Hubbard was sought by the
servant.
"Well.?" he said enquringly, "Has
anything happened
"No, sir," said Edward, "but i picked
up this bill near your desk, and supposed
you dropped it. I thought I had better l
bring it here directly."
"You have done well," said .130. Hub
bard, "and I will remember it. Honesty
is a very valuable quality in a hoy just
commencing a business career. 'Hereaf
ter I shall have perfect confidence io
your honesty:"
Edward was gratified by this assurance,
yet as the Om closed behind him and he
walked out into the street, the thought
of his sister sick at home again intruded
upon him, and he thought regretfully
how much good could have been done
with ten collars. Not that he regretted
being honest.. There was the satisfaction
<4 having done right.
Mrs. Jones brought some toast to
her daughter's bedside, but Mary mo
tioned it away.
"I thanli you for taking the trouble to
make . it. mother," she said "but I don't
thilik I can possibly eat it."
"Is there anything_ that you could rel
ish, Mary e
"No," said she, hesitatingly.; "nothing
that we can get." •
Mrs. Jones sighed a sigh which Ed-
ward echoed.
It was with a heavy heart that Edward
started for the warehouse the next morn
ing. He had never felt the craving for
wealth which now took possession of him.
He set about his duties as usual.
About two hours after he had' arrived
at the warehouse Mr. Hubbard entered.
He did not at first appear to , notice Ed
ward, but •in about half an hour summon
ed him to the office which was partitioned
off from the remaidner 'of the spacious
rooms in which goods were stored.
He smiled pleasantly as Edward enter
ed his ,presence.' •
"Tell me frankly," ho said, "did you
not feel an impulse to keep thebill which
Son found list night ?"
"I hope you will not be offended with
me, Arr. Hubbard," said Edward "if I
say that I did.",
"Tell me all about it," said Mr. Hub
bard, Withinterest. "What was it that
withheld you: I 'shonl,d never have
known it,"
. "I knew that," said Edward.
"Then what withheld you from taking
it ?" L
',First I will tell you what- tempted
me," said. Edward. "My mother and
sister are obliged to depend upon sewing
for a living, and we live but poorly at the
best. But a fortnight since Mary became
sick r and since then we have had a-bard
time, Mary's appetite is poOr, and she
does not relish her food, but. we are able
to get her nothing. better. When I
picked up that bill I could not help
thinking how much I might buy with it
for her " '
"And yet you did not, take , it ?"
"No, sir, it would have been wrong.
avd I could „not have looked you ill the
face after it." t •
Edward spoils in a tone of modest
confidence.
.
Mr. glibbard went to the desk and
wrote a check.
"How muoh dol pay Jon new ?" be
asked.-
"Fifty dollars a year," said Edward'
"Henceforth your duties will be in-
creased, and I will pay yon two hundred.
Will that please you ?",
"Two hundred dollars a year 1" exclaim
ed Edward, hie eyes sparkling with de
light.
"Yes, and ,at the end of the year that
will be increased, e if as I have no, doubt,
you 'continue to merit my confidence."
"Oh, sir how can I thank yowl'" said
nuwuru, utit grantrine.
"By preserving your integrity., As I
presume -yea are in present need of mon
ey, I will pay you one cparter in advance.
Here is a cheek of fifty dollars which you
can get cashed ut the bank. And, by the
way, yod 'may have the rest of the day to
yourself." • -
Edward flew to the bank, and with
his sudden riches hastened to the market
where he purchased a supply of provis
ions such as ho knew would be welcome
at home, and then made baste home to
announce his good; fortune.
A weight seemed to fall off the hearts
of mother:and daughter as they bear his
hurried story, and Mrs. Jones thanked
God for bestowing, upon her a son whose
good principles had I brought thens this
great relief.
And Mr. Hubbard- slept none the
worse that uigbt far the slight pecuni
ary sacrifice. He bad done a kind action,
confirmed a boy in his integrity, and
gla4dened a titruggling family. If there
were more employers as considerate as he,
there would be fewer dishonest clerks.

A FAIR 'OFFER. —A veteran relates
the following: It once happened that a
mule driver was erigned in leading an
'Dimly mule fora short distance which
job proved about as much es he was able
to do,,and gave full employment for both
of his hands ; as he, was thus engaged, a
newly appointed brigadier rode by ,near
him in all of. the
,conseqctential radiance
of his starlight, when the mule driver
hailed him as follows :
"I say, I wish that you would send a
couple of men down here to help me to
manage this mule." .
The brigadier, indignant at being so
familiarly addressed, sternly. replied=
"Do you know who I am, sir ?'
. "Yes," was the reply, "you are Gen.
I believe.'
"Then why don't you salute me before
addressing me ?"i6quired the brigadier.
"I will," responded the M. D., "if•you
will get off and hold the mule."
The brigadier retired in good order.

Ins and Ontsiot Matrimony.
,
Young gentlemen who indul ge in con
nubialism often Imola great dealln very
little:time. In ;hid particular school the
very dullest - paoplej rapidly " take on new:
ideas.• A,case in illustration was head
on Saturday before Alderman Welding.
A young gentleman—we will ; call him
Mr. Wilkins—hadl recently reaped the
harvest of a protracted courtship in the
shape of a marriage certificate and a good
looking ,dainsel in cherry colored lips and
six-and-three-quarter. kids. Shortly after
the wedding : day a 'collector called upon
Mr. Wilkins ;ivith a "little bill" of fifteen
dollars for sandry back-combs, handker:
chiefs and , other etceteras purchased' by
the bride in :order to render herself as
:1-1+ 1:1117 - V ',ening she
adjured the name 'of Jones in favor of
the patronymic of Mr. Wilkins.,
As the oolleetor appeared the model of
patience, Mi. Wilkins received bill,
looked at :billi and allowed he "knew
nothing about it." He called Mrs. Wil
kins.—" Angelina, my love, what Jones
is this Y Here's a bill for Miss A.ngeli-.
cut Jones." ! 1 •
"Why, ducky, that's me."
"Possible ?"
"Yes, dear. I 'quite forgot to get
money from ma to pay . it with."
"Well, as ma has gone to Chicago
and as I have nothing to do with it, the
man' mast wait" Mr. Wilkins so in
formed the collector, and immediately
clOsed the front' dodr, leaving the colleq
or to stand upon th i e side walk. As 're
get this from the i . collector himself, it
must be as he says.
Collector, however, knew a little about,
the law. ' It ib said that necessity knowa
no law. 'This is all , humbug. Collectors
receive a percentage for
. colleeting bills.
He felt a necessity for his money, and
results proved that ; he knew a good deal
of law. He immediately entered suit
against Mr. Wilkins for his wife's debt.
The hearing came off as we have said, on
Saturday. morning, before Alderman
Welding. Mr and Mrs. Wilkins ap
peared in person. Collector-proved the
debt, Dirs. Wilkins' was too lady-like to
deny. it.! Wilkins,of course, follow
ed copy, but craiiiied that because .he
married a set of rippling curls and a
pointed bodice it wes no reason why he
should .pay. fOr getting them up.
Alderman Welding, to the surprise of
Mr. Wilkins; produced a volume of Par
don's digest, 'and proved to the contrary.
He pointed nut decisions, established
precedents, that a ci4.izen in marrying a
lady also =Trips her debts. Much asibe
would like to rule the contrary, Alder
marl Welding said it was impossible, and
judgment must be !entered against Mr.
Wilkins for the debt and the cost of suit.
Mr. Wilkins - was too well bred to ex
press surprise, but he looked like a
school boy after a lesson in Euclid. The
proposition was demonstrated, and must
be,correct, bat to comprehend the Tea.
Boeing, was aaother. ;matter. He accord
ingly paid the bill and tbe costs, amount
log to a trifle over jtwenty dollars, and
left the office with the air of a man who
has acquired - suddea knowledge.
!Another ease illustrative cif the same
idea was heard by Recorder Eneu on the
same day. A. diminutive . German—we
will call him 1 Mr. Kraut, entered com
plaint that his wifellad beaten him in a
mariner literally . merciless. He unswath'-
ed his head from the bandages surround
ing it, exhibiting the marks of a broom
handle.adreinisterecl ivith no feeble unc
tion. Mrs.. Kraut was arrested. She
stood full six feet high, with breadth of
shoulder and length of arm in due pro
portion.' The husband reiterated his
affidavit. The woman made no defense,
and. the inagiStrate fined her for intoxi.
cation. As she didn't pay. the fine, the
officer motioned her to follow him to
prison. She 'obeyed the order.
, What you'goin' I .
do, r asked, Mr.
Kraut. , I 1.
"Take that woman to prison.
"Take her to prison ?"
,
"Certainly." ,
"And who dakes pare of der baby ?"
"Don't knowi suppose you must take
careakit yourself." -
t ""Bfft I . can't. . I goes now to mine
cork!!
"Well, if somebody don't' pay, her fine'
she must be locked up." •
"Und must I get knocked into der
cellar,by win e vife, and my bead broke,
un4 den tarn arcaindt rind 'pay for it ?"
"SomeliodY mnst."
Mr. Kraut said tomethiog that done&
ed like profanity. He dropped fire dol.
,fare-and ten tsars, the forineeon the:desk
of the recorder, the , latter upon the floor,
and departed ! with his wife, plunged, in
profound wonder at the curiosities of
the law.
