A London correspondent writes the fol lowing:— A good sell is related of a weal.hy banker here, who is very good natu-ed, hut inclined to be a trifle fa-t in his views of life. Had a favotile clerk, a young man of about twenty one, and remarkably hand some, modest and highly intellectual. For these qualities lie was liked by every one. and the banker did not escape the general feeling of go >d will. lie was a- poor as his salary and had no connections to push him after fortune, and so, like most Eug lisk cerks, he would rise to one hundred and ten pounds a year, go on foi eight year at ten pounds a year, ris-, and marry when he gets two hundred pound a year, henceforth to vegetate and find that tin additional ten pounds a year only kept pace with the additional babes in the house hold. The banker, on Sunday afternoon, when no one was expected, would occasionally a-k the young man to visit his family at his suburban vill i; as the conver-ation of the young tn:.n was so correct and clever, it could r.ot but be of advantage to h.s chil dren. This was a mistake, evidently, but it was a good iialiiri-d error, but we can only wish, all of us. that there were more committed. I have not mentioned that there was a beautiful young daughter of nineteen summers, but that may always be understood in an English family that have known wedded life longenough But there were ol course, n<> att-ntion on the part of the young man other than extremely deli cate, reserved and proper. This w ill m>.t always b.* the case with English youth, well know. Don't 'h til a'ter this. The youth, in spite of two or three lavs' invitation to the banker's country -t-at. to breathe fresh air and clear hi- lungs of London -moke, was evidently vc-y ill and though he declared himself well and rohiist the banker shook his head. "I cannot make out what is the matter witn my young el. rk.' said the baker to a C'i KKRBE who was in the back office with liiiu, after the youth who had just brought in some papers. " Well, you are green I should say. for a man of y our time of lift- and exp. i ience,' >a d bankrr number two. " Don't you see what's the matt*r? He's in love." In love ! bah ! He is mo lesty and pro pri-ly itse't " " | tell vui it is a fict, and with a rich old fellow's daughter who would no m.re think of having Imp for a son-;n law than you would yourself.'' "Oh, the haughty old fool, my clerk i as g..od as his daughter, and be banged to h.m. Thank you for the hint." As s-.on as the lianker number two had gone, the clerk was called in. "So, sir; you are 111 love and pining away for the object of your afft ction- that the s. crcf, is il ? Why did you not t. II me before, sir The youth was -ilen'. "Well, oy boy, 1 pity vou; but 1 will g v<- you a word if advice, If the daugu ter 19 fair, she is worth making a 11-k lor. — - are 5>2,500 and two mo..ills' leave ol absents*-. Run awav win. the girl. Bali ! don't Ipok so stupid. 1 d d the same 1 efOre yon, and in did'nt huit me." The ch rk fell upon his mat row-'oones, atrd was upon the point of making a full breast of if,-when the old man rose and left precipitately, to avoid the scene. The voting man consider, d and acted, and the Consequence was that the next day week thefe was no young daughter at the dinner table of the banker at the country house.— 'Hie house was iu consternation, and a search was made for her in all directions. A note, however, was found 011 her dress ing table, conveying the customary prayer of forg.veuess, and one enclosed from the young clerk, stating tint believing the ban ker had meant to give hitt. a hint in regard to his daughter, and was n>.t able to give this consent owing to appearance, he had acted on the suggestion, and that ere his •' fatlicr-in-Ltw" had received the 1> tier he would be his son in law. The pill was a bitter one, and the j"ke a terrible one against him, so it was hushed up, and has on!ygot to the ecrs of the peiveyors of scandal and to your correspondent, who re cords it as a trait of London life. FRANKNESS HOW pleasant it is, amid the selfishness ot the world, to meet a gen uine op.-n an 1 frank person. Life has its bitterness and its trouhles. and not the least of their causes is the snakish cunning of so many around us. Life too has its p'ea sures. and there is nothing serves more to enhance them, and to smooth the pathway ofour joiirnav here bel w, than tin- cheer ing intercourse with ft auk and manly na tures. How d-. tested that being who with masks and smiles gains vour confi dence but whose heart is rankling poison again-t von, and vvhose career is one con tinual piactice of double-dealing and trea chery ! How re-pectcd and how honored is that one who comes to yon, heart anil hand, and whoe words yon know to be genuine and not counterfeit. Whether in censure or praise, thtre is sencerity there, and it is the same in yoar presence, and in your ab sence. * •* ■ ■*> 1 SlMl'Lltll Y OF TRUTH* I witnessed a short time ago, in one <>t our high courts, a beautiful illustration of the simplicity Hnd power of truth. A little girl nine years of age, was offer ed as a witness against a prisoner who was on trial for felony committed in her father's house. "Now, Emily," said counsel for the pris oner, upon her being off -ied as a witness, "I desire to understand if you know the na ture of an oath ?" "I don't know what you mean," was the simple answer. "There \our honor," said the counsel, addressing the court. "Is anything neces sary to demonstrate the validity of my ob jection ? The witness should be rj eted. She does not comprehend the nature of an oath." "Let us see," said the Judge come here my daughter " Assured by the kind tone and manner of the Judge.!lie child stepped towards h.m and locked confidently up in ii is face witL a calm, clear eye, and in a manner so ait less it Went straight to the In art. "Did vou ever take an oath ?" inquired the Judge. The little girl stepped back with a look of horror, a.id the red blood mant ed in a blush all over her face and neck, as she answered, "No, sir," She thought he in tended to in quire if she had ever blasphem ed. . "I don't mean th it," said the Judge,who -aw her mistake, "I mean were you ever a witness before ?" He handed her the Bible open. "Do you know that book my ilangh'er?" Sh • looke lat il and answered, "\ es sir it is the Bible. "I)o you ever read it ?" h- a-ked, "Yes, sir-every evening ' "Can you fell me what the Bible is 1" "It is the Word of the Great God,' sin answered. •'Well place your hand iif-.o i this Bible, and li-ten lo what I -ay,'and lie rep -ate.i -lowlv and solemnly the oath usually ad mini-teicd to witnesses. "Now," said the judge, " yoj have been sworn as a witn ss—will you t -II nie what will l-elall you if you do not. t-II 'lie truth.'" "I -hall be shut up in the Slate piisoti,' answered t ie child. "Anything else,' a-ked the Judge. "I shal never go to Heaven ' "How do you know ?' asked the Judge again. The child took tin- Bible, and turning rapidlv to the chapter cmitaini, g the coin oH-.dtn. til-, pointed to the inju ctmii. '• Thou -halt not bear false vvilne-s agaiii-t thv neighbor." I I arned that," she said before I could r ad. "Has any one talked to you about jour being a witness in c-nrt here against tins man r" iuquir. d the Judge. "Yes, sir," she replied ; "my moth.-r liea.d tliey want-d me to be a witness, and ast niglit slit- called me into her room and a-ked met<-t< ll iter the ten commandments, and then we kneeled down together, and -lie prayed that 1 might und .stand how wn ked it was to bear false witness against 111 v neighbor, and that God would help nie a little Chi (1, to tell the liuth as it was be fore Him. And when I came lieie with father, he kissed me, and told me to re member the ninth commandment and that God would hear every word I said. "Do vou behove this ?' said the Judge, with a tear glistening in his eye and hi lips quivering with emotion. "Yes, sir," said the child, with a voice and manner that showed her conviction ol the truth was perfect. "God bless you, my child," said the Judge, you have a good mother. This wit ne.-s is competent, he continued. Were I on trial for my life, and innocent of tin charges again-t me, I Would pray God for -uch a witness as this. She told her story with the simplicity of a child, as she was, but there was a direct ness about it which carried conviction of its truth to ev.-ry heart.
