The Forged Bank Note.
"L
OOK here, my dear boy ; I atu
going to give yotl a piece of ad
vice. 1 When you cashed that check in
the batik Just now, you scarcely looked
at the notes litjSore thrusting them into
your breast pocket. Now, I dare-say
you think it looks very Hue to shove
away a lot of bank notes into your pock
et as if you were accustomed to carry
about large sums. But listen to me :
Mr. Itenshaw was an old aud esteem
ed friend of my father's. He had come
into Bosauquet's Bank as I was cashing
a small check ; and its we walked down
Lombard Street, he administered this
little reproof ; not, however, with the
least sarcasm, but with a kind fatherly
manner which could not oflend the
most touchy, especially proceeding from
an old to a young man. I had known
him as long as I could remember, he
having beeu connected with my father
in many business transactions, and thus
entertaining for each other a feeling of
mutual esteem. He was a raau of good
standing in the " city," and had been
always remarkable for his great punc
tually and correctness lu business mat
ters. For fifty years he had worked in
the firm, from which he had lately re
tired, having been chief partner for
more than half that period. Ills motto
in business had always been method;
and he certainly .carried out his princi
ple in every action ; not, however, like
some methodical people, who think
that every one else should go out of the
way that their regulated routine may
not be interrupted. On the contrary,
in his ordinary life although every
hour of the day had its appointed pur
pose he readily lent himself to aid in
the pleasures of business of his friends;
nor did he look harshly on those whose
habits were not just so exact as his own.
His mind was large enough to see that
it would be impossible.indeed not desira
ble, that all men should think like him ;
and that a pound intellect aud good
moral worth are to be found among the
apparently light and careless, as well as
among the methodical and steady. At
the same time, in his own immediate
business concerns, he Insisted on a
methodical system being strictly adher
ed to. "Gentlemen," he was wont to
say to his clerks, "out of the ofllce you
may be skyrockets if you please ; in the
ofllce, chronometers."
" I daresay, John," he continued to
me, " you think that I am a sort of old
moral parallel-ruler, aud that I never
can get beyond making one line run
straight alongside of another; but be
lieve me, as your father's old friend, and
yours too, my boy, that there Is nothing
like method. From the smallest to the
greatest transaction do everything as if
you were casting up accounts for you
know how soon a little error multiplies
and beware of trusting to your mem
ory anything that should be put down
in black and white. There uow ; I have
given you a lecture, and I hope you are
not vexed V"
" Not a bit sir," I replied. " I dare
sayI'm sure you are right ; aud indeed
I never looked ou you in the light of a
parallel-ruler ; though I should not ob
ject bearing a little resemblance myself
to that respectable instrument. And
yet, I fear I should never be able to
bring myself to keep account of the
number of every note I received."
" And yet," my companion replied,
"they think It worth while to do bo at
the bank you get them from. How
about If you lost them ?"
" That's true," said I; '-but it's not
very likely. I always keep my wits
about me."
" Just like you just like you, young
men ; you're are all so sharp. Never
mind, my dear boy. Come up this even
ing I dine at six and I'll tell you a
story in which the honor and credit of
a young man depended on the number
of a bank note,"
" Six o'clock with Mr. Itenshaw
meant six o'clock ; and I am sure by
his hearty welcome, he felt a little flat
tered at my remembrance of his hobby
as I entered the drawing-room just five
minutes before the hour. The dinner
party was a quiet family one, compris
ing besides ourselves Mrs. Ileushaw aud
their two daughters. I could not help
observing during dinner how quietly
tegular everything was conducted, yet
without the slightest stillness. Every
thing that was needed was at hand ; and
the courses were noiselessly removed or
replaced without any ringing of bells or
other interruption to the cheerful con
versation which was being carried ont
" Now, John," said my host, when
the ladies had left the room, .and
we had drawn up our chairs near
the fire, and had placed the decan
ters within reach, " fill your glass; aud
don't mind me old method you see
while I tell you . my story. But I must
first fetch the documents from my
study."
Following my friend's advice, I filled
my glass aud cracked a few filbertB ; and
lu a few minutes Mr. Itenshaw returned
bringing with him three newspapers,
which he laid beside him ou the table,
He then drew from his coat a pneket
book of the usual shape that "city"
men carry about with them, but differ
ing from those In ordinary use In being
a bright blue color. "Another of my
whims, John. I had my mennirandum
book made of au unusual color, that it
might be more easily traced, if lost ; and
now," he continued, placing the book
beslde.the papers, " my memoranda are
all In order, and I only ask your atten
tion." " I daresay you have heard your father
speak of a Mr. Brlerly though perhaps
not, as I now remember he must have
died when you were quite a child. How
ever, your father knew him well, and I
also knew him, but not very intimately,
although I have at different times trans
acted business for him. He knew little
about such matters himself, aud always
left everything connected with his prop
erty in the hands of an agent not that
l ever acted as such, my connection
with him being casual. He was possess
ed of a little landed property; but the
bulk of his money was invested in stock
of dlflereut kinds. He dabbled, how
ever, very little lu the share-market; for
though his man of business was willing
enough to speculate, yet old Mr. Briefly
said that he had enough aud to spare;
and whenever he knew his money was
safely invested, then he let it stay; so
that Ills agent had little to do, and his
pickings were proportionately small.
" Little or nothing was known of Mr.
Brlerly before he came to settle near
Hanwell, where he bought himself a
pretty place, and lived in strict retire
ment with his only daughter and sole
compaulon, a child about eleven years
old. DifXerent stories were of course in
circulation as to who he was and where
he came from. Home hinted at a desert
ed wife; others, that he was a widower.
The latter I have reason to believe was
correct. But as fur as he was concerned
he never satisfied the curiosity of his
neighbors, but lived quietly on, having
apparently no thought or pleasure be
yond his child. As I told you, he was
nothing of a busiuess man ; aud like
many such, he placed entire trust in . his
agent, or more correctly agents ; for the
management of his estate was confided
to the hands of Dibden, Kuollys & Dib
den solicitors and conveyancers of Bell
yard, Doctors' . Commons. The firm
used Io be Dibden & Knollys, until Dib
den's only sou Stephen joined it, when
his name was added ; shortly after which
event Knollys died ; but the name was
retained by the firm ; so that at the time
I speak of the whole business belonged
to the two Dibdens, father aud sou.
Why Mr. Brlerly should ever have se
lected such agents, or how he met them,
I never found out; but he placed in
them the most implicit confidence, and
used constantly to send for the elder
Dibdeu to his house, especially during
the last two years before his death,when
his health was failing, aud he disliked
the trouble and fatigue of going up
to town.
" Whether it was Dilideu's cleverness
as a mau of business that he was taken
with or whether he was managed by
cunning, I know not, but he certainly
let hlui obtain a great deal of influence
over him ; aud at his death, which took
place when his child was only fifteen
years of age, his will directed that she
should be under the guardianship of
Dibden ; who, during her minority, or
as long as she remained with him, was
to receive five hundred pounds a year
for his charge. It, moreover, directed
that she was not to marry before she
was legally of age, and then only with
Dibdeu 's consent, until after her
twenty-fifth birthday, when she was
free to do as she liked. The curious part
of the will and it evidently shows that
whatever influence Dibden exerted over
the old man was not sufficient to attach
a permanent penalty on his child if she
disobeyed' his wishes was that, In the
event of her not complying with the
terms of the will, she should have only
an allowance of five hundred pounds a
year during her life; but that the proper
ty should be settled on her children, to
be enjoyed by them after her death.
Hard as this arrangement was for a
loved and only child, to he excluded
from being mistress of her property for
four years after she became of age, un
less she married with her guardian's
consent in the meantime, I am certain
myself that it would have been harder
if Dibden could, have maimged it; but
he was evidently not able to convince
the father that after twenty.flve years
of age a woman's fortune might not be
safely left to hor own discretion. Every
body was of course surprised at the
will ; but as there was no relatives to
interfere, no question was raised; and
as soon as the funeral was over, Dibdeu
took the child home with him.
" I must now pass over a space of five
years. The child of fifteen had grown
into a beautiful girl of twenty ; and a
sweeter and kinder never breathed.
Now John, if you won't laugh at an
old man getting euthuslastio about a
girl young enough to be his grandchild,
I will describe her to you. She had a
clear frank open face a face that to
look at once was sufficient to read truth
and trust written on It. Her fair goldcu
hair sometimes seeinfd like a glory
round It, as the rays of the sun danced
on Its luxuriant folds; aud the pleasant
smile that she greeted one with made
one feel that If the term angel could be
applied to mortal, it might be her. Her
nnse was straight and small; and her
eyes John, I never saw such colored
eyes on a fair person they were dark
violet, with long lashes. There ! you're
laughing at me; I shall tell you no more
about her, except to say she was as good
as she was beautiful. To do Dibden jus
tlce, he dealt very fairly with her as far
as education went. No expense was
spared ; she had the best masters for
everything. But she was never permit
ted to go Into society. To be sure, ho
used to have some female relatives of
his own or Mrs. Dlbden's from time to
time to stay at his little villa in Brixton;
but as neither he nor his wife was very
well connected, it Is doubtful .whether
their society was any advantage to his
ward. One of the few young men she
ever saw was Dibden's son, now about
thirty years of age, and as ill-favored a
fellow as one might meet between Char
ing Cross and the Bank, and as rude and
coarse in manner as he was unpleasant
lu countenance. ' Nor had he even the
clevernes of his father to make up for
his moral and personal deficiencies.
When I say ho was about the only ac
quaintance of the male sex that she had
1 mean he was the only one openly ac
knowledged ; for she had wonderful
how nature asserts her prerogative
another that no one knew of but herself
and him, to whom she had surrendered
all the affection of a pure and loving
heart and no blame to her poor girl.
As she grew from childhood to woman
hood she began to feel the irk-iouieness
of her posilton,and she naturally enough
attached herself to the first friend she
met who had tastes and feelings in com
mon with her.
" Year after year she felt a growing
dislike to her guradian and his family,
who continually reminded her of the
legal authority he possessed. However,
she remained very passive until the
twenty-first anniversary of her birth
day, when she surprised her guardian
by demanding to hear her father's will.
At first he refused ; but she Insisted ' I
am of age to day, Mr. Dibden,' she said,
'and my owu mistress. You are uow
only guardian of my money. I require
to hear the contents of my father's will;
I know you have a copy."
" On hearing it she only said : ' Four
years more,' and walked out of the
room.
" About this time young Dibden com
menced annoying her with his atten
tions, proving to her what she had al
ready suspected, that to secure her hand
and fortune for Stephen had been the
plot of the worthy pair. She did not
however, feel any uneasiness; but from
time to time she was subjected to much
that was trying and vexatious ; until at
last matters were brought to a crisis by
Stephen Dibden offering marriage tell
ing her at the same time he hoped to be
able to get his father's consent. She
stared at him some seconds before she
replied, and then said : " Marry you !
Get your father's consent! Areyou mad,
Mr. Dibden V You forget your place;"
and she walked calmly out of the room.
" At this time she had not actually
engaged herself, but doubtless this cir
cumstance precipitated matters ; for, the
first time after this that she met George
Hamilton, she told him of her annoy,
ance, and then burst into tears. Now,
John if a nice girl to whom you had
paid a little regular attention, but of
whose mind you were not quite certain,
suddenly burst into tears as she tells
you of her troubles, aud, so to speak,
throws herself on your protection, what
do you think you would do V Why, ten
to one,I'll be bound you would do exact
ly what George Hamilton did offer her
your hand on the spot; and the same
odds that, like him, you would be accept
ed. So George Hamilton went back to
his lodgings that evening happy as a
king, the affianced husband of Clara
Brlerly.
" But I have not told you who George
Hamilton was. Well, Ire was Dibden's
head clerk ; and a first-rate one he was.
He had been bound as an articled pupil
in another house; but just as his ap
prenticeship was up his father died ; and
he had not the means to prosecute his
profession, and was indeed thrown on
his own resources. London is not, as
you know, a place for an honest man to
live without the means of paying bis
way, and so Hamilton found; and ac
cordingly he took the first clerkship
that offered, which was in the ofllce of
Dibden, Knollys and Dibden, at the
munificent salary of ninety pounds a
year. However, they soou found that
they had a man above the common ; and
in order not to lose him, they gave him
a progressive salary,' which at this time
had reached one hundred and twenty
pouuds a year. George Hamilton was a
gentleman in every sense of the word
the Bon of a retired officer, who had
nothing to leave him but genUe Mood,
an honorable name, and his blessing.
At the time of his engagement ho wa
about twenty-five years of ngp, nnd n
fine handsome young fellow. Jt whs I y
the merest chance that he had ever mot
Clara Brlerly, and the IMbdens tiHtiirnll.v -took
good enre that such a formidable
rival to Stepheu Should be kept, out of
the way. However, his introduction to
the girl happened lu this wise. One day
old Dibden was unwell, and Stephen
had gone out of town, when a lettpr wna
brought to the ofllce requiring immedi
ate attention the contents f which
Hamilton did not feel Justified In deal
ing with without seeing his principal;,
and for this purpose, he repaired to Dib
den's private residence, He wa-i about to
ring the bell, when the door was opened
by Miss Brlerly, who was just going
out. Hamilton drew back, to let her
pass, at first supposing she was a visitor
leaving the house, wondering at the
same time that the Dibdens should have
an acquaintance of so elegant and aris
tocratic an appearance. He wns not,
therefore, a little surprised when he was
asked by a soft sweet voice, if he was
being attended to; which was in no-
wise abated when she asked hi in in, and
said she would send a servant to attend
to him. ' " f
"Charming girl!" ha said to himself
as she went away. And then u su.1.1' n '
thought struck him. The ward! j
"Now, if George had been a com mo'
place young man, she would have pu
ed through the hall and gone otit.i-v"
out minding him ; such however was by
no means the case ; and as the gli 1 gave
range to her thoughts she was fain to
admit that she had never seen anv inne
who impressed her so much at first
sight. Yes ; Clara Brierly was io love
had fallen In love at a glance. Not that
she acknowledged such a state of tilings
to herself; she only kept thinking ai;i
thinking about him' day after day - hL
was such a contrast to Stephen Dibden.
" As for George Hamilton, he did nut
wait to analyze his feelings; (hat fir.H
slight encounter did it; and before he '
got back to the office he had built him
self a castle, wherein' he had workeii
himself into Dibden's favor and become
a partner, and won the hand of hi.
lovely charge.
" Now, John, I am not going to enter ,
into the details of a romantic love atlUir
you know what love can do they
met and met again, and learned ''each
other's history ; and at last.as I told you
before, exchanged vows of eternal Jove.
'-' ..'
" I must take another jump over time.
Miss Briely is now in her twenty-fifth
year, and George Hamilton just twenty
nine. They had kept their secret; and
it wanted but a few months when all
the world would know it. Their course .
of true love had run smooth enough as
far as they were concerned themselves ;
for though they saw but little of each
other, the thought of her future happi
ness comforted Clara under every vexa
tion and annoyance. . 'A few: more
months,' she would say 'a few more
months, and I am free of my tyrant."

Bolting His Food.
SAM SLICK tells us the story of the
Honorable Alden Gobbel, Secretary
of Legation in England, who was dys
peptic, so he goes to Abernetby, (lie
great English physician, for advice.
" Whnt'a thfi matter with von V" nvs
me uoctor. f
" Why," says Alden, "I j7vume I
have the dyspepsy." - . -w
"Ah! I see a Yankee, swallowed
more dollats than you can digest."
" I am an American citizen, I am
Secretary to our Legation at. the Court
of St. James."
"The dickens you are! then you'll
Boon get rid of your dyspepsy."
" I don't see that Inference."
" But I tell you it does follow," says
the Doctor, " for in the company you'll
have to keep you'll have to at like a
Christian." It was an everlasting pity
Alden contradicted him, for he broke
out like one moon-distracted mad : " I'll
be hanged," saye he, "If ever I saw
an American that didn't bolt his food
whole like a boa-constrictor. How cna
von exneet to digest food that vol
neither take the trouble to dissect nor
time to masticate ' It's no wonder voii .

nor your saliva, for you expend it upm;

stomachs as a Devonshire man does Pit
cart, as full as it can hold and as fast as
he can pitch it in with a fork, and drive
off. And then you complain that sueh
