We bad just locked up the safe, and I
had,put the key in my pocket, (I am the ac
countant of the North, and South of Bng
lanci Bank at its Padsey branch, W. Yorks,)
I bad got my hat on, and bad taken up my
umbrella, when a man came running into
the bank with a bag of money in hisihand.
"Am lin timer •he cried. I eitc r my

" Sdrry for it," I said, " but We caul take
the money."
"Veil, then, what is to be done? .11ere's
twenty-two thousand pounds in this 'bag,
and those drafts of mine come due in a
couple of days. Well, you'll have to take
'em up," he said; " I can't' unless you take
the money in to-night."
I knew that those drafts were coming due,
and that our manager was a little anxious
about them, for they were rather heavy,
and the other names on them were not very
good. Black, too, (that was, the man with
the Money-bag,) was a capital custom,
and not only a good customer himself, but
he brpught good accounts with him—and
we were a young branch, and on our mettle.
Well, here was the money to meet the
drafts, anyhow, and I would have been a
great fool to send it away Just because - it
was after hours. So I counted it all: over.
There was about nineteen thOusandin notes
and cheques, and three thousand in, gold.
? Come and . have a glass of beer with'
triey" said Black' on the way to the station.
I put the bag of money in my , desk and
lodked it up. 1 would come back presently
aria have it placed in the safe. I walked 49
the station with Black;, we had some beer
together, , and then he Went oft America•

then going on, and consequently, from the
force of habit, I'd almost got home before I
remembered the bag of money. lit was
vexing, too, because we had a tea party that
night, the first since our marriage, and it
began at six o'clock, and I'd promised to be

help get things ready. And here it was six
o'clock, and I had to go all the warback to
the bank.
All the way back I went as hard as I could

my desk, and now I'd put it in the safe.
Tell Mr. Cousins--our manag•er,• you
know—l said to the • servant who'd let me
in, ,"that I want the key of the safe." • But
you had it in your pocket, say you; which
shows that you are not acquainted with the

ai you had one key what did you want with
two? There, I own, the regulations are ob
scure. They were drawn up by somebody
Without any literary skill. If they'd con
suited me about 'em, I could have suggested
a good many improvements. What they
meant to say was that the safe was to be se
cured by two /xi:A, and that a key of each,
not to be interchangeable the one with the
other, was to be in the custody, &c. Now,
you understand why I wanted Mr. Cousins's
key.
"Eh, my!" said the servant, opening her
mouth wide, " and what might you want
Mr. COUS,iIIS . EI key for?"
: Just as stupid as you, you see. I was
-mad with the girl. I own I always get out
of temper with those Yorkshire people.—
If you ask 'em the simplest question, first
they open their mouths and gape at yon.—
When you've repeated the , question twice,
they shut their mouths and think, a bit.—;
Then the idea seems to reach the thing that
does duty with 'em for brains, and excites a
sort of.reflex action, for, by jingo! instead
of answering your question they go and ask
you one; and that makes me so mad. Oh,
they're a very dense race, those Yorkshire
people.
" Why, to open the safe, yott stupid,"
said I. • Where is he?"
"Don't ye know?" says she.
"Knowl" I cried in a rage. ! "What
should I ask .you for, if I knew?"
Didn't thou know he were at , thai own
house?"
Ahl so he was. I'd nearly forgotten that
he was one of the guests at my wife's party.
Clearly, I couldn't get the safe open, and I
didn't like to leave the money in . my desk,
so I put it in my pocket and took it home,
thinking Pd give it to Cousins with my key,
to put it in the safe when be returned. -
A nice mess I got into when I reached
home, for you see it had been arranged that
I was to go up stairs and dress before any
body came, and that then our room was ow
be made ready for the ladies to take their
bonnets off—for they were not all carriage
people. Well, you never saw such a thing!
When I got home and crept up stairs to
dress—the people had all come, so the ser
vant said—there were six muffs, and four
bonnets, and five pork-pie hats, and half-a
'dozen shawls on the bed; and ono lady had
left her every-day curls hanging over the
looking glass. Upon my word; I really
didn't like to perform My toilet among ail
these feminine gear; and there Was no lock
to the door; and my dress clothes were all
smothered up amongst these muffs'and these
things. *But I got through 'plettY well, and

slumber had just visited my eyes, when
right into my brain, starting me upas if I'd
been shot, came a noise, a sort of dull,
bursting noise. - -I wasn't really certain at
first whether I had heard a noise or only
dreamed of it. I sat up in bed and listened
intently. Was it only my pulse thumping
in my ears, or were those regular beats, the
tramp of somebody's muff/4d feet! Then I
heard an unmistakable sound—creak, creak,
creak—a door being opened sloWly and cau
tiously. All in a moment the idea flashed
into my head-flosniktioo thousand pounds!
You see, all this dancing and junketing and
laughing and chaffing had completely driven
out of my mind all thought of the large
sum I had in my possession. I had left 'it
In my greatcoat pocket, which was hanging
up in the hall down stairs.
Pal a guSt of wind came through the
house, rattling, the doors and windows; and.
then I heard a door slam, and a footstep
outside of some one stealing cautiously
away. -
Away down stairs I went like a madman,
my one thought to put my hand on that'
greatcoat. It was a brown greatcoat with
long tails and two pockets behind, and a
little cash pocket on the iefthand side in
front; and this breast pocket in which I had
put the bag of money. This pocket wasn't,
as is usual, on the left-band side, but on the
right.. There was no other coat hanging on
those rails only my wife's waterproof. What
a swoop I made to get hold of that coat.—
Great heavens! it was gone!
I had carefully barred and chained the
front door before I went to bed—now it was
unfastened. I ran out into, the street and
looked up and down, hopeless and beWil
dared. It was 'a dark, damp night; the
lamp at the corner threw a long, sickly ray
down the streaming pavement, but there
wasn't a squl to be seen. Everything was
still and cold and dark.
The money was el4an gone—yes, it was
gone. I repeated these words mechanically
to myself as I crawled up stairs. All the
results of this loss pictured themselves be
fore late clearly--dismissal from the bank,
ruin of all m,y prospectsvutterrnin_, in fact.
What could I do? to what turn? The blow
that had fallen upon me was so heavy that it
had benumbed my faculties,

N one knew of my having received that

ha .deposited it. I had given no receipt
for it, no acknowledgment. Black bad
gone to America. A hundred things might
happen—he might never return; at all
events here was respite, immediate relief.—
I could go to the bank next morning, hang
up my hat as usual, and everything would
go on as 'before. If Black returned, my
word was as good as his. The notes and
checques could never be traced home. But
I don't think I retained this thought long.

Thee I told her the story of the twenty

whole story she was frightened enough.—
Yet she had, wits about her, more than I

" You must run off to the town ball,
Jack," she said, " and set the police to

Well, what do you think the liberty of the

contemptuously.
"Now let's see into this matter," said he

So I came home miserable, despairing.—
It was just daylight by . this time, and es I
opened the shutters the debris Of our feast
was revealed; the lees of ;the lobster salad,
the picked bones of the chickens, the melt
ed residuum of the jellies; whilst about ev
erything hung the faint smell of sour wine.
I sat down amid all this wretched mess, and
leaned my head on my arms;indull, misera

did VI caught sight of myself in thslook

Then -my wife came down stairs, and
with a few touches restored a little order
and sanity, both to outward matters and My
;mind.' She brought me some coffee and an
egg, and some bread and butter, and after I
had eaten and drunk I didn't feel quite so
bad.
"Jack," she said, you must go to Lon

the first word, andlell them - fall about it—

"Borrow some of Cousins."

Now you'll say, " Here's a' man without

To tell you the truth, that's What I did the
week efore, and the money was all gone.
" Then, under these circumstances," you'll
add, 1 1 It was immoral to -give a party."—
But, you'll bear in mind, the invitations had
been out for a fortnight, and Men we were

"Well, Jack," said my wife, "you Must
get the man—the P. B.—to give you some
more money on the watch. sell it to him
right out. It must be worth at least ten
pounds, for it cost thirty, and, you have only
had five upon it. Sell the ticket."
Yes; but where was the ticket? Why, in
the little cash pocket of my brown great
cant. Still, I had heard that if -you'd lost a
ticket you could make the man !Ave yott an
other; and Brooks, the pawnbroker, was a
respectable fellow, who, perhaps would - help
me out 'of my difficulty. I went to him
anyhow on my way to the station. I felt
like a tieket-of-leave man as I went into his
shop, but I put a good face upon it.
` Brooks," I " that watch—you

Brooks gave a most 'portentous wink.—
He was a slow-speeched man, with a red
face and a tremendous corporation.

"What do you mean?" I said, coloring up

seemed.•

I sank down on the counter overpowered

"What coat?" Icried.
"A. very nice brown coat.he put up with

It was my identical brown greatcoat

I often reproach myself with my wrong
doings. I should like sometimes to thank
Heaven for saving me from some kinds of
transgression, and even for granting me
some qualities that if I dared I should be
disposed to call virtues. I should do so,` I
suppose, if I did not remember the story of
the Pharisee. That ought not to hinder me.
The parable was told to illustrate a single
virtue, humility, and the most unwarranted
inferences have been drawn from' it as to
the whole character of the two parties. It
seems not at all unlikely, but rather robe
ble, that the Pharisee was a fairer de ler, a
better husband, and a more Charitabl per
son than . the Publican, whose name has
come down to us " linked with one virtue,"
but who may have been guilty, for aught
that appease to' the contrary, of "a thou
sand crimes." Remember how we limit the
.application of other parables. The Lord, it
will be recollected, commended the unjust
steward' because he had dOne wisely. His
shrewdness was held up as an example; but
after all he was a miserable swindler, and
deserved the State prison as much as many
of our financial operators. The parable of
the Pharisee and the Publican is a perpetual
warning against spiritual pride. But it must
not frighten any one of us out of being
thankful that 'lie is noti
-- like this or, that
neighbor, under bondage to strong drink or
opium, that he is not an Erika , Railroad man
atter, and that his head rests in virtuous
calm on his own - pillow. If he prays in the
morning to be kept out of temptation' as
well as for his daily bread, shall he not re
turn thanks at night that he „lies not fallen
into sin as well as that his stomach has been
filled? I do not think the poor Pharisee
has ever had fair play, and I am afraid a
good many people - sin with the comforting,
half-latent intention of smiting their breasts
afterward and repeating the prayer of the
Publican.—Pea of the Breakfa-9t Table.
, ' Adventure in St. Petersburg.
- ,
We clip from the Hartford Courant this
story, which, whether original with that
journal or not, is good enough for repeti
tion: . . ,
" One day in tue winter of 18d- an ele
gantly:dressed lady walked down the prin
cipal str , ;et of St. Petersburg. She was ev
idently a stranger, and gazed with lively in
terest on the stately and Fast buildings that
distinguish the capital of the north. The
day was excessively cold, though the sun
shone. But ‘ the lady being well provided
with furs seemed to pay little attention to
the temperature.
"Preeently a fat old merchant passed,
and looking attentively at her head, said 41
few words in Russian. The lady smiled
and bowed, though she evidently did not
understand the language. A few steps far
ther and the same thing happened, the man
being this time a laborer. She smiled again
and passed on. The nest that accosted her
in this fashion was a young and handsome
Bojar, who repeated his phrase when he
saw no other client than a smile; - : The lady
s'eeined not to regard him, and so, in a .mo
ment, he seized a handful of snow, and
holding her head With one hand; vigorously
rubbed her ears with the snow in the other.
A scream and violent resistance followed,
but he held her tight and rubbedt fresh
handfuls of snow on her little ears. The
lady called for help lustily, but the crowd
that gathered. looked on without interfering.
At last a lieutenant came near, and-recog
nizing her explained . the matter in German.
" Vladame Lucca,' he said,
.your ears
were freezing rapidly. One does not per
ceive this one's self, but others notice the
pUrple color. This oung man told you,

but seeing that you t ok no notice, he ap
plied the usual reme y.' .
"After this the pr ma donna kept very'
(Inlet until her ears w reisafe, and then re
warded their savior. The same thing had
happened years ago toißachael, the great
tragedienne, only in that case it was the
nose. However, it wonld have hein as bad
for a singer to lose her ears as for an actress
to lose her nose."

Very Good English, too.
In "Around the World," a volume of
travel just published by Dr. Prime, Says
an exchan - at newspaper, we read:
"They have strange chambermaids at
Shepherd's Hotel, Cairo.. The Cone who
waited on our zoom anti attended to all the
various duties of the calling, even to mak
ing of beds,; was a courtly Frenchman,
dressed as if for a dinner party, and having
the air of a refined and educated gentle-
Mall. It was really embarrassing to accept
his serviecs. One of the ladies on arriving
at the hotel rang for the chambermaid.—
This gentleman presented himself. Sup
posing him to be the proprietor or the chief
clerk, she informed him that she had rung
for the chambermaid. He very politely re ,
plied, in the befit English he could com
mand, "Madame, X am she."
The Meanest Yet.
Some gentleniert were talking about mean
ness, when. one said he Jtue'w a man on Lex
ington avenue who was the meanest man in
New York.
" How mean is that?" asked a friend.
"Why, he is so mean that he keeps a five
cent piece, with a string, tied to it, to give
to beggars, and when their backs are turned
he jerks it out of their poeltiasi".
" Why, _this man is so Mean;" continued
the gentletaan, _" that he Awe his children

were asleep, he went up stairs took .the

"Does he do anything else?"
" Yes; the other day L dined with Mtn - ,

it appears, being accomplished best by the -
so-called dry-method rather than by the nser
.of a watery solution of soap or other alka
line substance. This originally consisted in
subjecting the articles in a proper apparatila , .
to immersion in benzine, gasoline, bisul
phide of carbon, etc., with continued rota-
don of the apparatus. _ More recently,
however, it has been ascertained that the
vapor of these substances, caused by distil
lation, is more efficient than-the liquid sub-
stances themselves, the articles thus treated t
being much morchorougly penetrated, and
more rapidl3 - , than in the old way.
The aracles are placed upon a grating
over the liquid, vapor frota which, permeates
them completely as it is carried over into the
