A £12,000 CHECK. The hour grew late, and Mr. Brand paced his chamber in moody silence: The train had come in, but his mess senger had not returned, and the mers chant was troubled by a vague sort of doubt, which haunted him in spite of his faith in Lake:-A merry, sober old trader of long experience had said that Lake was too young to fill the Impors tant position he held, but Mr. Bran had never found his trust in Tom mis= placed. : g ‘Having heard rumors concerning house with which he had extensive dealings, the merchant had dispatched Lake to London, telling him to makae inquiries, and in any -case to get th partners of the firm in question to sets tle their account. o So Lake had gone from Livé‘tpooé to London. The time appointed fo his return passed, and still he did ac come. : : o A lady entered, and stoleto t.h_emé chants side. Her own sweet fice was anxious, and there was a tremorin ti% “Do you think he will be here tonight, dear papa?” “I hope so, Mary; buat it is getting very late.” . ’ “Jg there no other train?”

“Only the night express, and that does not stop except at the central stations.” 5 :

“Perhaps he will come, papa; he would not mind coming 10 miles, even if he had to walk.” “He should not have. missed the train,” said Mr. Brand sternly ; *“punctuality is an imperative duty with men of business.” : e

“But, papa, something may have occurred to detain him.” ¢

- “Nothing should detain a man who has given his word.” . The fair pleader was silenced; her father was angry, and knowing his strictness of principle,and how iuveterate was the dislike to any breach of discipline or duty, she did not venture to speak again. The time dragged slowly on; Mr. Brand continued his restless walk, and Mary sat subdued and quiet watching him. She saw that he was listening as the night express went whirling by, and from the depths of her heart there went up a prayer that Lake would come safely home. = The girl loved him, would have staked her life on his truth, and knew that he was not beyond his time through any weakness or wrong. Two slow, weary hours passed. Mr. Brand was reading the commercial news; but, for the first time in his life, it did not interest him; he was thinking of the young clerk, and the heavy sum of money that would be in his possession should the London firm have paid him. And ‘Mary, reading her father’s countenance, felt chilled and pained by the slur cast on her lovéer’s honesty by his suspicions—her every thought was a denial to his doubts, and, as the rapid clatter of horse’s feet rang out, she went to the window.

“Look!” she said, dashing the curtain aside with eager hands; “look, papa, I said he would come—l knew he would.” < ; ‘ The merchant’s stern features relaxed with a smile of pleasure; he was not emotional or demenstrative, but his daughter’s gladness pleased him. y i There was a few moments of expectancy, and then Tom Lake eame in. He went straight to Mr. Brand, only noticing with a bow the lovely face whose glance thrilled his soul. “They have paid,” he said quietly, as he placed a thick pocketbook in the merchant’s hand, “but I think we were only just in time.” “Indeed!” i

_“There was a consultation at the banker’s béfore I could get-cash for the check.” ! ““Do you think they will break.”

“Hopelessly. They have given me an immenseorder, but it would notbe wise to forward the goods.”

= “You did not hint that we had the slightest fear ?” | ‘ “No, but I was glad to get the money; £12,000 would have been a heavy. loss.” i “It would have done me serious injury just now.” ' “And yet,” said Tom, gravely, “this morning the odds were considerably against it ever reaching you.” “How ?”

“Tom took two chairs, placed them side by side near the fire, led-Mary to one, and seated himself in the other. He had done his duty as a merchant’s clerk, and was now Mr. Brand’s prospective son-in-law #nd partner. : “I had an adventure,” he said; “I was the the hero of a strange story in a ride by express.” - | Mary bent forward to listen—Tom clapsed her hand in his own. Mr, Brand sat, opposite them, interested by the speaker’s manner, as he began: “When I got the check,lhad an idea that all might not be so well, so, to make sure, 1 presented it to the banker’'s. There was, as I told you,a consultation before they cashed it, and, while the consultation was going ferward, I noticed a stranger looking at me intently. I knew the man in my younger and wilder days. I had met him often at the race course, in billiard rooms, and in other places more or less respectable. Now, he was changing a check for some petty amount, and was; evidently, astonished by the immensity of the order I had presented. ' I left the bank with my pocketbook full of notes, and found I had lost the train. = The next would be the night express, so I strolled into a billiard room. A man is just assafe .with a fortune in his pocket as it penniless, so that he is- wise enough to. hold :his tongue. Some clever playing was going on, and I stood watching the players till some one challenged me to have a game:. 1f I have one special vanity, it is my science with the cue; I accepted, and, as I did so,a strange feeling, which had beén growing upon me, took a sudden turn which startled me. : My challenger was the man whom I had noticed at the banker’s. There was nothing strange in the fact of his ‘being in the room, one of his favorite ‘resorts, but I wuas possessed by the vague shadow of a single idea. J had read somewhere of a man being followed and plundered in a train, and somehow I associated the story with ‘the man before me. It was the first time 1 bud ever paid bim any pattioular attention, but T gave him full obseryation now. The morellooked at him the less I liked him. He was _handsome, g ﬂﬂﬂ%ﬂ& Withsgfﬂi!’ pleness and strength, His manner T 2 ig S s wamui “”t ‘ M@%%

ble and prepdssessing, and my friend was the very pink of affability and grace, .- o 2 e

. We played for an hour with alternating success; he was an amusing companion, well informed, and had traveled; but I was shy of conversation. I left him, and, still having sc;me time to spare, went to the Temple. ! . ! When, at the expiration of some 30 or 40 minutes, 1 emerged into Fleet street, almost the first person upon whom my gaze fell was my late antagonist at billiards. : I thonght there wassomething more than a'mere coincidence in this second meeting since we stood together at the banker’s. He was in a cigar shop opposite. St - Not 100 yards from the Temple gate stood a man whom I recognized with -a very welecome feeling.: It was George _Vixen, the detective. ‘ ‘. He was fashionably dressed and ilcmked an aristocrat of the first water. ‘I went up, and, greeting him as I should an old familiar friend, held out my hand andsaid: : % “Come- and- drink a- glass of wine with me; I have a little something to say.” 0

ITe shook hands in the most natural way possible. I took his arm, and we entered the public bar of an adjacent hotel. ‘ o ‘ I toM him ef my suspicion, told him of the sum in my possession, and of the journey I had to perform by rail. - I saw that, watehing through the glass of the door, he was taking a mental photograph of the two men at the bar. | :

“They mean business,” said Vixen, quietly, “but I shall be with you. We must part at the door, or they will see that we have scented the game.” “And you,” I said, “how will you act?” 7 Rooeiaeg

“d will travel to Liverpool by the night express.” L , He left me,.. I had no fear now knowing him to be a clever and determined fellow. Taking a casual glance across the road, I saw my man with his companion. It was quite evident that they were tracking me, though I lost sight of them before reaching St. Paul’s. - I strolled along the churchyard, wandering nearly to Iglington, then went throagh the city again before I made for the station; my acquaintance of the billiard-room did not come in sight, though 1 kept well on the alert. : §

I took my ticket, lingering almost to the moment of starting before 1 entered the carriage, but my man did not appear. Two men were-in-the compartment with ‘me. I could not see the face of one, and the other was a stranger. - : - The bell rang. The guard had just time to put a bewildered old gentleman in by my side, and then we were off. : :

The man whose face I had not seen turned toward me. ' : :I could hardly repress an exclamation. There was no mistaking that frank, genial countenance, for the lurking devil in those eyes, whose softness was so sinister. : He had me then at last. -Vixen had broken his promise, and I was left to travel that perilous journey alone, with the man who had followed me so skillfully, another who might be his confederate, and an old gentleman who, after grumbling out his indignation against all railway servants and locomotiye traveling in general, was fast asleep in the corner.

That the intentions of the billiardplayer were bad were manifested by the fact of his havingassumed a false mustache and beard. They added to the beauty of his face, but left to his eyes that sleepy, cruel glitter that is characteristic of the Asiatic. g ITe spoke to me, remarked the oddity of our being traveling companions, and grew unpleasantly familiar. ‘I answered him, not wising to appear churlish or . afraid, knowing that I could trust something to my own strength, should the worst come. we had made the last stoppage, and were rolling swiftly through the gloom, when-our conversation touched on jewelry. He drew ashowy ring from his finger, telling me it was a curious piece of workmanship, having a secret spring, which he said I couid not discover. M

. I took it, searched it in vain for a spring, then, returning it to him, it rolled under my feet. i - I stooped to pick it up, and so did he, but ir that moment, while my head was down, hé had me tightly by the throat, and threw me to the carriage floor., - ' i His confederate was upon me in an instant. I could secarcely breathe,and could not struggle, for a heavy knee was upon my chest, and two strong, brutal hands were crushing the life from my throat. Though the horror of the situation did not last a minute, it seemed an eternity to me.

PROPHESY FULFILLED.

John Sherman on Specie Resumption and Contraction of the Currency.

(Extract from a speech delivered in the U, S, Senate by John SBherman, January 27, 1868.)

*“What does specie payments mean to a debtor? 1t means a paymeént of - $135 where he has agreed to pay $100; or, which is the same thing, the payment of $lOO where. he has agreed to pay $74. Where he has purchased property and paid one-fourth of it, it means the loss of the property; it means the addition of one-fourth to all currency debts in the United States. A measure to require a debtor now to pay his debt in gold, or currency equivalent to gold, requires him to pay 185 bushels of wheat when he agreed to pay 100; and, if the appreciation is extended through a period of three years, it requires him to pay an interof .10 per cent. in addition to the rate he has agreed to pay. When we consider the enormous indebtedness’ of a new country like ours, where capital is scarce, and where credit has been substituted in the place of capital, it represents a difficulty that may well cause us to panse. o “The debtors of this country include the active, enterprising energetic men in all the various employments of life. It is a serious proposition. to change the contract so as in effect, to require them to pay one-third more than they agreed topay. They have taken their operations upon this money which you declared to be lawful money. =~ Yon may change its relative value, but, in doing so, you should give them a reasonable opportunity to change their contracts so as to adapt them to the new standard of value you may pregeribe for them. r

“If Senators wish other examples of the severe process of passing from a depreciated currency to a gold curren¢y, or to a paper currency convertible ‘into gold, let them read the times of the revolutionand of the war of 1812, and after the revulsions of 1837—a1l of which ‘were periods of transition from a depreciated paper currency to a convertible paper currency. Sir, it isnot possible to take this voyage with‘out sore distress. 7o every person except a capitalist out of debt, or to the salaried officer or anuitant, it is a period of toss, danger, lassitude of trade, Jall of wages, suspension of enterprise, bankruptcy or disaster, “To every railroad it is an addition of at least one-third to the burden of the debt, and, more than that, deducted from the value of its stock.. To every bank it means the necessity of paying $l5O for $lOO of its notes and deposits, except so.far as the bank maytransfer this to 'its debtors. It means the ruin of all dealers whose debts are half their capital, though one-third less than their property. It means the fall of all agricultural productions, without any very great reduction of taxes. To attempt this task suddenly, by a surprise upon our people, by at once paralyzing their in‘dustries, by arresting them in the midst of lawful business, and applying a new standard of value to their ‘property, without any reduction of their'debt, or giving them an ‘opportunity tocompound with their ereditors or distribute the loss, would be an act’ of folly without example for evil in modern times.

The spirit of prophesy animated John Sherman as he spoxe these words. He has since became the chief architect of the system of destruction and ruin which he depreciated. His own words are his own condemnation.

Marriage.

The following is a translation from a German paper. The sentiment is good, and we give it for the benefit of our young English readers: “Marriages are generally contracted to gratify one of three desires, viz: love, fortune or position. - | . “The man who marries for love, takes a wife; who marries for fortune, takes a mistress; who marries for position, takes a lady. He is loved by his wife; regarded by his mistress; tolerated by his lady. He hasa wife for himself; a mistress for his household; a lady for the world and society. “His wife will take care of his household; his mistress of his house; his lady of his appearances. If heis sick, his wife will take care of him; his mistress will visit him; his lady will inquire after his health. Ie takes a walk with his wife; a ride with his ‘mistress; goes to a party with his lady. His wife will share his grief; his mistress his money; his lady his debts. If he dies, his wife will weep; his mistresslament;and the lady wear mournng.. - ;

The number of Senators and Representatives shall, at the session following each period of making such enumeration, be fixed by law, and apportioned among the several counties, according to the number-of white male inhabitants, above twenty-one years of age-in each: 'Provided, that the first and second elections of members of the general assembly, under this constitution, shall be -according to the apportionment last made by the general assembly, before the adoption of this constitution. s It will be seen that under these provisions the apportionment can only be made once in six years. The Legislature elected in 1872 made the last apportionment.; hence it is for the one chosen this year to make the apportionment for the ensuing six years. - -~ 8. The candidates before the Legislature in 1875 for the United States Senate were Joseph E. MeDonald, Democrat, and Daniel D. Pratt, Republican. Messrs.

Dr. Andral states that he saw a child strangled by worms turning back and becoming tangled in the larynx. They have been known to crawl into the excretory ducts. of the liver, so completely stopping the flow of bile and sending it through the circulation as to give the patient the appearance of jaundice, and causing sudden: death. Children sometimes have fits, produced by these worms, and the symptoms most characteristic of them: are .emaciated extremities, offensive breath, deranged apetite, grinding of. the teeth, picking of the nose, dark circles under the eyes, a tumid abdomen, a death-like pallor in the expression of the mouth, and - disturbed, dreamy sleep. Seldom are all these symptoms present in any one case,but where- any of them are present, Dr. Smith’s Vegetable Worm Syrup sho’d be used.

" The cost of running the government from its foundation until the 80th of June 1861, a period. of eighty-two years, was $1,5606,726,141,15. © For the ten years of republican rule, from June 30, 1867, to Juné 30, 1876,--a time of profound peace—the aggregate was $1,528,917,137.87.. Thus, in ten years of peace, the republican party expended more money in carrying on the government than was paid out in eightytwo years, This, the Ft. Wayne Sentinel remarks, is one cause of the hard times, and a good way to remedy them is to restore to power the democratic party, which is the party of retrenchment, economy and reform, and which will stop the wholesale waste and plander of the people’s money. @
