The whole amount of the Loan authorized is Five

HUNDRED MILLIONS HAVE BEEN ALREADY
SUBSCRIBED FOR AND PAID INTO THE TREA
hURY, mostly within the last, seven months. The
large demand from abroad, and the rapidly increas
ing home demand for use as the basis for circula
tion by National Banking Associations now organ
ising in all parts of the country. will, in a very
short period, absorb the balance. Sales have'late
ly ranged from ten to fifteen 'Millions weekly, fre
quently exceeding three Millions daily, and it is
well known that the Secretary of the Treasury has
ample aid unfailing resources in the Duties. on
imports and Internal Revenues, and in the issue of '
the Interest bearing Legal Tender Treasury' Notes.
it is almost a certainty that he will'not find' it ne
cessary, for a Ling time to come, to seek a market

of those contemplating the formation of National
Banking Associations, as well as the minds of all
who have idle money on their hands; to the prompt
conclusion that they should lose no time in'''sub
scribing to this most popular Loan. It, will soon
be beyond their reach, and advance to a handsome
premium, as was the result with the "Seven Thirty"
Loan, when it was all sold and could no longer be
subscribed for at par.

The Government requires all duties on imports to
be paid in Gold ;• these duties for a long time past
amounted to over a Quarter of a.Million of Dollars
daily, a stint nearly three times greater than that

hoped that. the ssrplus Coin in the Treasury, at no

The Loan ts'called 5-20 from the fact that Bonds

WALTER GRANTLEY'S REVENGE.
The wholesale dry good's store of Savage &
Co., was one of the most extensive in the city,
and of course boasted of a large number of
clerks. Among them were two young wen
of nearly the same age, which we have selected
to figure as the two principle characters in our
story. Their names were Walter Grantley
and George Pill, and both on equal footing in
the establishment.
Walter Grantley was a whole souled young
man, and as earnestly devoted to his avocation
as any other man in the city. Knowingly,
he would not injure any person under any
consideration, but pursued an upright course
to all, especially to his employers by whom
he was highly esteemed.
George Hill was also devoted to his business,
and held in confidence of his patrons. He
possessed an unbJunded stock of ambition,
which unfortunately, would not stop at all
tiwes within the strict bounds of honesty.—
He often said that nothing of an ordinary na
ture would stop him in the course he had
marked out for himself in his•liine of business
and advancement. But at the time we date
our story, he fancied .an obstacle was in his
path, and that obstacle was Walter Grantley.
Proprietors.
New Haven, Ct
One of the head clerks had given notice
that he was about to leave the establishment
to enter another firm as a partner. This would
occasion a desirable vacancy, and either he or
Walter would be advanced to that post. Re
was convinced that no other in- the store
possessed the requisite knowledge and ability ;
se there was but one who stood between him
and this much coveted position.
At this position of affairs, he would not
have hesitated to have managed to lay blame
of some sort upon his rival, had he not. thought
that he at least stood an equal chance with
him; but he did not, as a few days later he
discovered.
About a week before the bead clerk was to
leave, George overheard the members of the
firm discussing his and Walter's, merits, and,
after a somewhat lengthy discussion, heard
them arrive at the conclusion to bestow the
situation upon his rival. He listened until
the conversation was concluded, and then slunk
away to form some plan for the downfall of his
J. W. IiARR
companion.
•
Some three days after he had overheard the
decision of his employers, he requested an in
terview with them. It was granted during
the day, and George made known his business.
"What I have to say, sirs, pains me very
much, yet I (eel it my daty to make you aware
of a piece of information that has recently
been made known to me. It is of one connec
ted with this house, else I should not trouble
myself about it,."
"Whom does it concern ?" inquired Mr
Savage.
"Indeed, what of him ? we have always con
sidered him one of our most trusty clerks :
h.}nest, steady, and wholly devoted to his busi•
ness. W hat have you learned of him ?"
"That he frequents a noted•gambling saloon
on A- street."

"Frequents a gambling house ! I can hard
ly believe that. I could almost have sworn
that he never saw the inside of such a place in
his life."
I=lll
"And yet I have information of a positive
chartleter that such is the case."
"Perhaps your information was not trust-
worthy."
"I could willingly have believed that; but
to-day all doubts were dissipated, when he
asked me to accompany him t here to-night."
"What answer did you wake him?"
"That I never frequented such places."
"Do you think he will go there to-night ?"
'•I think he will. Such was his intention."
"Than it is decided," said Mr. Savage, ris
ing. , "I will visit the place tonight, and make
sure with my own eyes that he is addicted to
this terrible vice. We bad thoughts of ad
vancing him to the head clerkship, but it will
never do, if what you state be true." •
"It is truth, sir, as you will know to night,
if you enter the saloon."
"Thank you fur the information, but speak
to no one of it at present."
So the interview ended.
Let us go back in our story some three
lours.
Walter and George obtained their dinners
at a restaurant close by, and were in th• habit
of taking it at the same table. That day,
while at dinner, George observed
"By the way, Walter, do you know Dick
Henley ?"
"Of course I do. He and I are warm.
riends."
"1 am quite intimtae with him, also. But
did you know that he was addicted to 'gam
bling?"
"Impossible."
"It is too true."
"Are you sure ?"
"Yes. I heard it from a friend, but would
hardly believe it ; so, last night, I went to the
saloon in A street, and caught him in
the very act, and, did my best to get him away,
with me, and after a time succeeded. A trio
of fellows were there who were determined to
fleece him, and were angry with toe for coax
ing him away. I tried to extort a promise
from him that he would not go there again to
night; but he said that he had promised to,
but this one time should be the last. I wish
Walter, that you would go there to-night, and
try to prevent his playing. I would go but I
have other business that will admit of no de
lay."
"I never was inside a gambling saloon in
my life, and I do not much fancy going there."
"I do not blame you for that; but there
would be no harm in going there. I pity Dick,
that's dll."
-So do I, and if my going will serve to pre
vent his losing money and reputation, I will ,
go. But keep still on this, George, for I should
nob want it to get around that I was seen in
such a place."
"You may rely on my discretion, Walter.
Thus ended the conversation on the subject
but George knew that the dictates of his rivel's
generous heart would prompt him to go as he
had wished. And so his plot came out as he
had meant it should. .
Walter went, but he found no friend there.
In the Course of the evening Mr. Savage
looked, and seeing Walter moving among the
players; no longer doubted, and the reknit
was that George Hill was promoted to the head
clerkships and no one save a comrade of' his,
was aware of his little plot to accomplish his
ends.
Walter though disappointed and annoy id
at the coolness of his employers, which he im
agined was without a cause, retained his place
for a few months, and then was taken into
partnership with an uncle. As the years went
on, proAperity attended his efforts in the city
to which he had removed.
About a year after his leaving Savage & Co..
an acquaintance who had possessed the secret
of George Hill told him of the part of his
former friend had played ; but Walter had dis
dained to retaliate, as he was now doing much
better than he would have done had he gained
the place he coveted in the house of Savage
& Co,
Ten years had rolled around since the first
incident of our sketch transpired. One bit

before, he had been inforwed that he had left

The door opened, and a person entered the
apartment and bowed to its occupant. He was
dressed in a rusty suit of black, and his face
was wan and thin, as if he felt all the blight
ing curse of proverty. He seemed to hesitate
to speak, and at last the merchant said—
" Well, sir, what can I do for you today f"
"Can you give me work ?"
"What can you do ?"

"What is your name?"
"George Hill," was the reply.
"And I am• Walter Grantley."
George Hill started as if he had received
a blow.
"Walter Grantley ! Then I can have no
hope here; and he turned to go.
"Stop, George. I know all about that little
plot of yours, and have long since forgiven
you. lam in want of a clerk, and you shall
have the place. What do you say, will you
accept it ?"
"I do not deserve this of you, Walter," said
he humble man, in a tremulous voice.
"Never mind that; but why did you leave
your old place?"
"A confident of mine, to whom I had dis
closed the secret of my plot, informed them
of it, and they discharged me."
"Well never mind, it is all settled and for-
