interest of curiosity which, such of them as had not travelled could certainly know nothing. And perhaps they would have patronized the entertainment, but for an unfortunate blunder,*' on the part of the young gentlemen to whose care had been comfided the delicate and responsible duty of having the tickets printed. He mus have been some New Yorker, whom the clerical lecturer had engaged with a view to introducing him at a critical point in his discourse, as a living illustration of the fifteenthly and lastly of his text. But then the eve rind lecturer ought to have known better than to confide any ofhis business arrangements to the keeping of a person so evidently disqualified for the performance of a difficult task. Be that as it may, he evidently blundered, and gave a hint to the future compiler of a lecture on the subject which he had intended to elucidate, but did not because no crowd assembled. It seems that a goodly number had purposed attending, and did actually get beyond the ticket box, but there they faltered and tell back, for it is as true of j4he lecture goer as it is of lovely women, that he who hesitates is lost. The reason of this: tlie living example had had the tickets printed so that they read, "Lecture on Fools. Admit One." The 'Philadelphians who read that cava listic phrase beat a retreat, and, rather :than lecture on fools to a beggarly array of empty benches, the clerical orator demonstrated his wisdom by declining to 'lecture at all.

Hence gold, as money, is simply a commodity among commodities, and must follow the same law of supply and demand being regulated in its value, just as wheat or shoes, by the degree of desire for it and the ease or difficulty of its production. If, in Indianapolis, a silk hat can be fairly purchased "for a five-dollar coin, it is simply because, on the average, it requires the same amount of capital and labor to produce the one as the other and it is just as proper and philosophical to say that the hat purchased the coin as that fhe coin purchased the hat. It two gold dollars will pay for an average day's fair work, it is because it requires an average day't work to produce them: and it is proper to say that the price of money is the service as that the price of service i6 the money. When, therefore, an article or a service is fairly exchanged for gold, it is really the same as if the pay had been received in wheat or any other commodity.

THE TERRE AUTE

A VICTIM OFCIRCUMSTANCESj

was

my custom every

to find missing a casket of val-

gent girl, named Clara Wilmer, she was arrested on suspicion and taken to the station-house. Nothing has yet been elicited, however, to prove her guilt, and a full investigation will be made todav."

I shall not tell what caused the paper to drop suddenly from my hand, and me to spring out of bed but such was the fact. I had no desire to read any more, and made my toilet nervously and in haste. I have ever had a dear love for mystery it was that which promoted me to choose so arduous and dangerous, a vocation. The present instance, even without other causes, offered me some opportunity of action.

Making a hasty breakfast, I immediately prqeeeded to the superintendent's office, and found him waiting for me. He seemed to read my thoughts, and at once reverted to the arrest ol the young girl, and the accusatioi. against her. "I wish you to attend the trial," he said, "and "note every particular phase of it let nothiDg escape you but before you go, perhaps you had better copy a few notes from my book they may be valuable."

I took a seat by his side, and he produced that mysterious chronicle of crime —the book attached to the logues' gallery. I copied several items which he pointed out, and at once donned the disguise of a trading Hebrew, and departec for the court room.

The trial came on at eleven, and it was necessary for me to see the prisoner before that hour. I reached the Tombs in time, and after showing my badge to the warden, succeeded in getting an audience with her.

Clara Wilmer was about eighteen, with brown hair and blue eyes her features wne not sufficiently symmetrical to be called beautiful, but there was an ingenious frankness in their expression which at once convinced me she was innocent of crime. This is no difficult task to one who for years has mingled _with

the exchange. The exchange has been a all classes, and as I looked upon Clara fair one? that which is given is regarded Wilmer, and became convinced of her as exactly equivalent to that which is re- innocence, I felt a deep interest spring ceived, and the transaction as such i^com- up in my heart in her behalf, and repleted and closed. The money is not solved to use my best efforts to secure merely a "representative" of value, but is her acquittal. I at once made myself, a real value, as all real money must be known to her, and endeavored to make as real and as valuable as the commodity her understand my sympathy in the mator the service which is given for it. True, ter. the money may be hoarded, or squandered ''If you are guilty," stid I, "confess it or loaned out at interest, or used to pay a to me at once, because it will save, me debt, or to buy something else, just as the trouble, but not injure you, as I would wheat may be planted or wasted or not appear against you.

wife, however, died 6oon after his arrival, and he afterward married an intelligent American girl, who al6o died in giving birth to my heroine. The father was now overpowered wifh grief, but found a consolation in his child, whom he reared in tenderness, giving her a liberal educa tion. When she attained the age of fifteen, however, he was called to follow those who had "gone before," and Clara was left alone in the world. The little property left her by her father was soon gone, and she was thrown upon the alternative of toiling for her subsistence. About this time she was attracted by an advertisement in the column of "Wants," in which a lady advertised for a 'discreet and intelligent girl to assist in housework She applied at the place, which proved to be the house of Mrs. Wilson, and was accep ed. Her duties consisted in superintending the household affairs generally, and supervising Mrs. Wilson's private apaitnents. She had been there three months, during which she had endeavored to fulfil her duties, and had so

given satisfaction that her employer had never uttered a word of complaint until the moment of her arrest, although she had previously resolved to give- up the situation. "And why?" tasked, affecting surprise at this last announcement.

She hesitated U.

"I am not sure that it would be right for me to tell you," she said presently. "Why not? It is necessary that I should know all," I replied. "My reason, then, for having determined to leave was because I saw things daily transpire in the house derogatory to the character of its mistress, as regards her constancy to her husband."

Clara blushed slughtly as she made this carefullv-worded confession. Her answer, however, brought me to the very ground work of my suspicions. I proceeded:' "There Wtere other' male visitors to the house, then, besides those welcomed by conjugal relations? Do you know their names?'* "None but the one woman fcl hold as her partner in guilt his name is Frank Clifford I have no right to suspect any others, though the general visitors to the house are by no means select." •What kind of a man is Mr. WZson, in his domestic relations?" I asked. "A verv amiable and kind husband, but some what addicted to intemperance and late hours."

This was all I wished to know upon this point. I knew the parties well from home I only needed a gleam from the family circle. Wilson I knew to be_a

man of considerable wealth, and of that generous temperament which usually leads men into excesses. His wife I had often seen ride out in company with Frank Clifford^ who was a drj-gpCKls clerk, and—something else. •'Now to the incidents of this arrests," I said. When did you last see the jewels?" "About a week ago." "Where were they then?" "I fastened them upon Mrs. ^Wilson It was on the occasion of her soiree, and she wore them, she said, to please her husband, although he was not in the house until the company had disbanded." "Where were they kept?" "In a small casket, locked up with some laces, in the top drawer of her bureau." ,/iiisH "Did you ever carry the key?" "No, the key was kept in a small draw er of the mirror trame, which sat on the bureau it was seldom locked."

I was now satisfied with my information, and, having carefully noted it down, and cautioned her to say nothing of the interview, I bade her be of good cheer, and took my leave.

The trial came off soon after, and in my Israelite disgaise, I took my place among the audience. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were both in Court, as witnesses, An anxious spectator, whom I took care to keep in close companionship, was Frank Clifford. The prosecution proceeded to the investigation, and placed Mr. Wilson on the stand. That gentleman knew nothing ajf all of the affah he .had not seen his wife's jewels for a year, had no right to suspect the character of thtvgirl always thought her honest, intelligent, and unassuming, and had nothing tc say against her. Mrs. Wilson's testimony was more pointed. She had seen her jewels in the casket two days before the robbery Clara was the only one who had ^MIBKSSto her room she was permitted th«|Ka( all times, and knew where the key the casket was kept she had ofte«$*«dmired the jewels and, hiving previously been in better circumstances, was fond of dressing.

What effect this testimony had upon the Court is not exactly known. It was purely circumstantial, and no Court in the land would have convicted her, if the offense had been but a pin's worth. A new witness, however was now called for. I "Frank Clifford!" called the crier of the court.

I noticed that he turned pale and became agitated, as he moved from my side. He tooK his place upon the stand, and, after being duly sworn, the court proceeded to question him* The testimony elicited was purely vindictive. He was a casual visitor at Wilson's house, he .said had often seen the criminal, Clara Wilmer, there, as well as on Broadway. He thought that she dressed too extravagent for one in her position he had often seen her gazing enviously upon the jewels, when worn by Mrs. Wilson hadn't the least doubt that the girl had taken them, from a mere love ol display. S

This closed the jfrosecution I he defense had little to say. The girl's previous character was proven to be unimpeachable her clothe6 and trunks had

been

searched since the robbery, and no trace of the missing jewels had been found. It was proven by another servant that she had not left the house since two days previous to .the robbery, and could, therefore, have no opportunity to dispose of them. This was all.

The Court seemed to be in a log. Circumstances were somewhat against Clara,yit not strong enough to convict her. Her calm and modest demeanor, too, during the trial, seemed to have so enlisted the sympathies of the judge that he wished to send her forth free from all taint. I determined that such should be the case. Taking out

BRANDO*.

The judge immediately dismissed the case until ihe required hour, and directed the prisoner to be placed in the care of an officer instead of returning her to the cell. The tears gusheJ into Clara's eyes, as she heard this in passing her, I whispered a word of encouragement in her ear, and the look of gratitude she

was a rich reward. I now look

ed at the notfs which I had taken from the book. 1 hey read as follows: NOT* 1 —"Frank Clifford, in the em ploy of Butterwell &Co.f dry goods merchants, No.—Broadway, salary $1,200

annum a fast young man gambles drinks, gives suppers, an is on very intimate terms with Mrs. Wilson, No.— Thirty-seventh street."

NOTE 2.—"Frank Clifford, clerk entered A—'s pawn office, No.— Chatham street, on the evening of March 13 at to o'clock at night he gambled and lost $500 at a house on Broadway."

I at once proceeded to the office of the pawnbroker and inquired about the jewels. They were there, and I took down a description of the person who had left thertr I took the jewels with me, as was my right, and returned to the superintendant's office. A few moments explanation served to reveai to him the exact position of affairs. "It will not do," he said, "to expose this woman but her husband must be informed of her treachery he is too noble a nature to be made the victim of a guilty heartless wife. Get upon Clifford's track at once follow him during the day, and arrest him at the earliest pleasure. The jewels will be kept here until the trial to-morrow."

Such were the superintendent's orders but a hint of my own caused him to alter them. My duties until the hour of trial were tiihply to keep Clifford under surveillance. "Dropping into his store, halfan hour after, I found him within, and satisfied that he was safe, lett him there. At night I was introduced to him in the dress and appearance of a western merchant, and in company we visited the different places of amusement, gambling houses, etc., and I persuaded him to share my room at the Grand Central, over night. We parted on the following morning, with the agreement to meet at six in the evening. f,

At twelve o'clock I was in the asseth bled court, in my plain, professional capacity. The parties were all present as the previous day, »nd a glance from Clara told me that she was hopeful. I he witnesses were all called within the bar and among them, Mr.

Clifford, should jou see them again?" asked the counsel. "I might know some of them," said the witness, cautiously. "The bracelets were of a peculiar make, and the clasp inscribed with the initials 'M. W.' The ring*—two in number—were one plain, and the other a diamond set in a heart."

The attorney drew from his pocket the casket I had given him, and asked in a scathing tone, as he touched the spring:

uAre

these the jewels, Mr. Clifford?" Had a deadly serpent sprang from the casket, Frank Clifford could not have started with more amazement, or turned more deathly pale. He trembled from head to foot, and glared upon them with dilated eyes, as he. leaned upon the railing for support. The excitement among all present, however, consequent upon the unexpected appearance of the jewels, detracted much attention from him and mastering his emoticn, he said, in a faltering voice: 1 "Yes—I—think they are!"

Clifford staggered back against the bar with a groan but summoning resolution, loudly denied the accusation, and defied the proof. With this, the late defense—now the prosecution—was well prepared. Clara Wilmer was first put upon the stand, and testified that he was at Mrs. Wilson's house, and in her private room, until a late hour on the night of the 12th. The pawnbroker identified him fully as the person who had delivered them into his possession for the sum of $1,000, and to finish up the evidence, the ticket for the same was found upon his person.

The humiliation and confusion of the guilty Mrs. Wilson is easily conceived, while the pangs of the husband whose suspicions were now aroused, were only equalled by the 6haine and anger of the convicted Clifford. One only in that audience, felt an excess of joy, and that was the innocent girl who had been so basely accused—Clara Wilmer.

One more note from the book will complete the sketch. Clifford was sentenced to ten years' labor in the Stale's Prison, where he died ere his term had half expired. Wilson sued tor, and obtained a divorce, leaving his wife to go downward in the course of ruin and, himself broken-hearted, soon ended his career at the bottle. Clara Wilmer soon found friends, who gave her a home and the advantages of social advancement, which she employed with that modest discretion and noble bearing which wins all hearts. One especially she gained— that of a young and thriving merchant, who made her his wife, and she still lives to remember without a blush the incident which forms this sketch.

FARMING FOR FUN

Gough lectures five times a week, his fees being $200. He has a farm at Worcester, which at one time contained 175 acres. He has no children but his expenses are very heavy, and to bring matters in a snug shape he sold apart of his land and reduced his farm to 125 acres, which is as extensive as his income will admit. A few years ago his wife who was a Yankee girl, undertook to raise fancy fowls, which some 6ay are very profitable. She got up a" very nice variety, and at a very reasonable expense, for the Shanghais did not cost more than $75 a pair. The Cochin Chinas were a little cheaper, and bantams could be rated from $25 to $40. After stocking the place with these rare birds, Gough as it is said, found that if they were to be kept up he would "be obliged to lecture on Sundays as well as week days to make a living." When it costs $15 to winter a chicken a man needs a. good income. The system was thereby changed the fowls were abolished and regular crops tried with decided success. As long as Gough's rye does not cost more than $5 per bushel, and other crops are kept at equally reduced rates, his present income will enable him to live in a very decent manner. There is nothing like farming life for men who have plenty of money.

THE CHANNELS OF EXIT

From the human system bear the same relation to it as sewers do to a city. They carry off the waste, the refuse which it is essential to remove in order to prevent disea«e. One of the most salutary effects of Ho6tettcr's Stomach Bitters is to renew activity ot the bowels when these organs ar&'direlict in their duty. The billious and dyspepsia symptoms which accompany constipation are also rem edied by this Sterling alterative. Its gently cathartic action has the effect of removing impurities which would otherwise poison the system, and its tonic influence i* exhibited in an increase in vital power. It renews appetite, soothes and invigorates the nerves, prevents and remedies malarial fever, and is a first-rate remedy for despondency.
