So I had pie illy of work to do, and
an abundant lack of indulgence* to
enjoy. It was coneequently a great
treat for me to gel the rnorntoun sum
of one ot two iriiiiU* into my pome*-
•ion by any soil good fortune -a dr*
ettmriance tis aticli rare occurrence,
that at the age of eleven I had learned
to regard money a* a bleaaing lie
stoned by a kind Providence only ou
a favored few.
Well, I had lived with Deacon Webb
three year* before I knew the oolor of
any coin except vile copper. By an i
accident I lent ued the color of gold, j
This ift the fttorv I am going to tell,
you.
Oatc Saturday night Mr. Webb sent'
me to the village atom on tome er
rand and on tetuming home, just
about dunk, my attention w.nt at
levied by a little brown |tarkag«! ly-.
log ou the roail aide.
I picked it up to ex milne its con
tent*, wlihcut the least suspicion of
lbetre»*urv within. Indeed,it waa ao
light, uad the volume of brown paper
appeared so that I undnubtedly
, fii«js-«ted t'nat I was the victim of ait
1 April fool, although it was in the
, itii-uUi of June. I tore upeu the folds
'of lha po|iei, however; ami discern-
I »njr wnOtirtg, I wrte jn*t on the point
i of throwing it into llin ditch, when
! vimething oh'Ji|h iJ out of it ami fell
i with n ringing sound upon a atone.
I looked nt it iu astonishment. It
waft yellow, round, glittering—too
t.right and too small for a pruuy. I

j » unit hin i wbiaperml lo me that it
| wae a gold coin of iiicakuhd.le value,
.ml tint if I dbl t < t wish ' i lost it,
I ha>l I” ”cr jmckcl it as toon aft pea
aU4c.
*2 < -milling with excitement, I put
the mio in my pocket. But it would
out atay their Every tw-. uiinutca I
had bntoke it out aud look at-it. But
wheuertr I tne* anybody t wa« careful
to put it out of sight. Somehow, I
felt • guilty diced of liujing an owner
to the coin. Provided I found none,
I thought it waa honestly mine by
right of discovery; aud I comforted
tayaelf '-ilk the nophiriry that it waa
not any Inuiucea to go almut the street
rrying, “Who’* font ?”
I went In,me with the gold in my
pocket- 1 would uot have haul the
Uescon's folks know what I had found
for the world. I waa aorcly troubled
with the fear of laming iny vast and
ieeelowlahle treasure This waa not
ail. It Seemed to me that my face
must betray my aecret. I could not
look at anybody with an houmt eya.
These troubles kept me awake half
the night, and projects for securing
my trees*iv by ft safe investment, the
other bftlf. On Ibe billowing morning
I was fercrifth and nervous, w hen l)ca-1
con Webb, »l the break fast-table, said,

I starU i nnd trembled, thinking
tbs neat wonlft would be—
“Wbere is that pices of gold you

But be only *aid,
“I want you logo to Mr. Baldwin's
this morning, ami ask him if lie ran {

I fait immensely relieved. I left (
ike house and got out of right a* soon
as jioarible. Then once more 1 took
the coin out of my poeket, and fcutal

Mr. Baldwin was not at lioma, atol
l returued to the deacon’s house. I
!«w kff.Wudley’. horse standing at
jyhemiw, to 11 was terribly frightenod.
j Mr. Wald hr was a cooatahle, and I
thought be had come to take me to
jail. So 1 hid iu the garden until he
want awsty By that time reafton be
gan lo Pre rail over cvivardjcc, and I
1 >sib» 14 V -arpwmHtwSr Uio house.
The doocon loukwl angrily at me.
\ow, thought I, folding faint, lie’s
j ::*'ing toaecir-.- maof finding the gold.
’ But he o»1y scolded me for lieing
so hmg about my errand. I never
S iarrived a repriinatid so willingly,
llis severe wools sounded sweet, 1
1 had»x|*ectcd something so much mono
I terrible.
I I worked til day with the gold iu
my podtifa I wonder Deaeon Webb
did not nuvpv-rt somcltiing, I stopped
1 so often to sftc if the gol I was really
I there; for morli tia the jHiR .essioa of
] it troubled isc, the fear of losing it
! troubled mu scarcely less. I was ml
' scrablu. 1 wished a hundred times 1
had i. l found the gold. I felt that
j it would be a relief to lay it down on
the road side. Again 1 wrapped it in
I brown pa|«r just us I hnd found it.
I I wondered if ill-gotten wealth made
everybody so miserable.
| At night I wa" sent again to Mr.
Baldwin’s; nnd having found him,
I obtained his premise to work at I)en
| con IVebb’s on the followlug day.
I It was dark wbeu I went home,and
1w as afraid of robber*. I never felt
so cowardly in my life, it seemed to
me that nuyhody could rob me with a
clear conscience, because my treasure
] was not mine. 1 got home and went
'trembling to tied.
Mr. Baldwin cam# early to break
fast with ua: 1 should tell yon som»-
1 thing about Idm. Hs waa an honest
' poor man, who supported a large fa
mily by hard work. Everybody liked
hiiu, he waa ao industrious niul faith
fid, aud luiaidi-a making good wage*
' by Ida labor, kc/iften got present* of
•meat and n>u from those who era
-1 ployed him.
Well, at the breakfast table, after
i Deacon Webb had asked a blessing,
1 and given Baldwin a piece of pork,
' so that he might eat nud go to work
'ns at mn as possible, something wus
{said about the “news.”
j “ I suppose you have lienrd aliout
my misfortune,'’ sab I Mr. Baldw in.
•* Your misfoitune?’’
“Yea.”
“Why, what liashapiwncil to yous”
asked tiic Deacon.
“ 1 thoughl everybody Imd heard
of it," replied Baldwin. “ You sec,
the other when Mr. Woolly
‘ ]iaid mu, he gave me a gold piece.”
i started, and felt the blood forsake
‘ iny cheeks. All eyes were Ux«d u|»on
1 Baldwin, however, so my trouble wus
[ not observed.
i “A sovereign,” asul Ikddwin ; “ the
first oue 1 ever had in inv life; and it
seemed to ma that if I should put it
in my poeket like a cent or a half
, dollar, 1 should loan it. So, like a
1 goose, 1 wrsp|Rd it up in a piece of
paper, and slowed it away in ray coat
pocket, where 1 thought it wus sure
ito In safe. 1 never did a more fool
ish tiling. 1 must have lost the coin
on taking out ray handkerchief, nnd
the papur would prevent ita making
any noise as it fell. 1 discoveiwd my
loss when 1 got home, and went back
to look for it; but somebody must
have oickod it uo.”
“ Who could ba ao dishonest as to
keep it?” naked the Deacon.
1 felt Ilka stoking through the floor,
“l don't know, replied the (>oor
man, shaking hi» head sadly; “lie’s]
welcome to it, whoever be is; and I |
hope his conscience won’t trouble
hiiu more than the money is worth ; 1
though he know* 1 want all my lion-1
esl earnings.'’
This waa too much for me. The 1
allusion to iny conscience brought the
gold out of ray pocket. I Instantly,
re-obed to make axlian breast of it,'
aud lo In honest in spite of poverty |
and shame. Bo I held the gold iu >
my trembling band and said:
1 Is this yours, Mr. Baldwin ?’
My voice waa so faint that he did
not hear me. Ko 1 repeated my ques
tion in a more courageous tone. All
eyes were turned upon mo in aston- 1
iahment, and the Deacon demanded
where and when 1 found the gold. |
1 burst into tear*, and confessed
everything. I expected the Deacon 1
would whip me to death. But he
patted my head, and said more kindly
limn waa his wont: j
• Don’t cry at toot it, William. You
are an honest boy, if you did come
uaar falling into temptation. A Iways
be honest, my aon; and if you do not
grow rich, you will be happy with a (
clear conscience.’
But 1 cried stiil—for joy. 1 laughed
too, the Deacon bad ao toadied my
heart. Os what a load waa 1 relieved I
I fait then that bouewty wa* the best
policy.
Baldwin declared that 1 should
have half the money for finding it;
bn! 1 wished to keep clear of the
troublesome slug for n time, and 1
did—l would not touch his otfcr.and
I never regretted it, hoy as 1 was.
Weil, I was the Deacon's favorite
after this, lie waa very kind to me,
and trusted me iu everything. 1 was
eaivfid not to deceive him: l pre
served the strictest candor and good
faith; and that hss mode mo what 1
am. When he died, he willed me five
bunilYed dollars, with which 1 came
hen- aud bought new lands, which arc
now worth a great many sovereigns.
But this has nothing to do witii my
story. That is told ; and all 1 have
to add io. I Immsm* >■»"i* ew l *' • * w ' vi -, -

/iditor Gonttiluiinn: Which is it
that’s the best (loveriniut the world
cvcr seed ? Georgy ought lo have
fouud out, by this time, having run
some fourteen or more, since Dixie
wcut up—lst. Territory; 2d. I’vrvi
siounl; Sid. No Govermint; (jWt slosh
iu’ ’round loose, like a stray dorg)
llh. Military; sth. Oivilaud Military,
mixed ; fitli. 1 n the United Slates onc
foutili; "lh. l’lum out, etc., etc.,down
to the l Uli, which started out trjiu’
ter run a sorter double harril Axin’;
that is, civil when it suits, military
when it don’t, and it suiis nud it
don’ts about every ueiv moon. John
Downing 1m dreamed that his daddy
wer’ dead, and his daddy lie dreamed
that John Downing wer’ dead; pcrli
tiknl quill drivers airn’tyet konciudcd
which one demised. So, in the year
of our degradation, 1870, Bullock he
dreamed that Terry wer’ dead, and
Terry ho lay awake and dreamed that
Bnllott, wer’ dead. Mr. Editor, is one
or tioCi dead? Fitly Kongress kan’l
take oue of >m to its bosom, and let
the other have full sweep over Georgy.
These here counter-checks and balan
ces are a terrible botherashion toa man
of hig exp"ct w skions and nccumulatto’
disposition. Don’t uitkc any differ
ence which rules, they ain’t nothin’
fur us, nohow. Seems to ine Georgy
has been playin’ “eluli fist” with B«l
--lock far some time, nud we have been
“takiii’ olf,” amt bean “nocked oif,"
I'lmn itown to tits nst, and now wo
want our “bread and cheese,” and
Bullock says the “knts have got it
and gone iu the woods, that the lat
ter hnd lieeu burnt, and water nquin
chcd nnd drunk nnd butchered nnd
hung;” that is tu snv, gone glimmerin’
worse'u n skool boy’s tail, or main,
uitlier, aud if yor o|ien ycr month,
Inir, cry, grin, a horribly gnstl., grin,
or any other sort, you’ll be “boxed”
with buyonitts ami hung out in sight
tr Dayman, cr any other feller.
These trying times have developed
