uttou awoke one morning and found
himself* a ruined man.
Rut strength is often found in the
depths of adversity, courage in des
pair; and both our hero aud his wife
set themselves resolutely to work to
support themselves aud their children.
Happily they owed no debts, for Cant.
Dutton honorably paid every cent
owed in the worln. before intrustm-
the remainder of his capital to the un
principled Smith and now this upright
conduct met with its own reward.
Ho wroteja beautiful baud, aud oc
casionally earned a trifle by copying
manuscripts, while seeking some per
manent employment. His wife worked
diligently with her needle ; but the
care of her family hindered her from
adding to their resources. Notwith
standing their extreme poverty, they
managed to preserve a decent appear-
aucc, and their little cottage was ex
quisitely clean and neat.
It was Mrs. Dutton's pride to pre
serve the respectable appearance of
her husband’s wardrobe; and often
she would woik till midnight, at turn
ing his coat, or darning his linen, that
he might appear as usual, amoug his
equals. She often urged him to visit
li)s former friends, and solicit their aid
in obtaining employment; but the sol
dier who was os brave as a lion when
facing the enemy, shrank with the
timidity of a girl from exposing him
self to the humiliation of a refusal,
and could not bear to confess his ur-
;cnt need.

We owe our lliaiiks to Judge Kelly
for the last Patent office report. We
already have sixteen hundred of these
interesting volumes iu our little libra
ry, but they have been read and re
read so many times that we know ev
ery page ot them by heart. This new
volume came opportunely and grato-
fully on Christmas rooming, and that
night we gathered our little family
arouud the fire and read it through to
thdni. The atifccted tale entitled ‘Im
provement in Monkey Wrenches/
seemed to touch every heart, and when
we came to the climax of the little
story about the ‘Lievoreihle Pic-boards/
there was not a dry eye between the
front door and the stable. During tho
tied ‘Gum Washers for Carriage Ax
les,’ the whole fnmily gave expression
to boisterous emotion, and the hired
disconsolate mood, our hero saw with
surprise his former commander ap
proaching, and with a sudden feeling
of false shame, lie tried t6 avoid a
recognition. But the quick eye of
General Vernon was net to be eluded
and intercepting him with an out
stretched hand, he exclaimed :
“Why, Dutton ! is that you ? It
seems an age since-we met. Living

mentioned a» one of the arts which
had been wonderfully improved, the
host desired las valet to fetch a beau
tiful little watch which he had lately
purchased in Pans ; anti which was
lees valuable, ior its richly jewelled
pasp, than for the pxmafsito perfection
of tho mechanism it enshrined. The
trinket passed from hand to hand, and
was greatly admired; then the con
versation turned on other topics, until
“I cannot describe my feelings yes

two cakes from my plate to my pock-

witness of jay cruel poverty. Now,
General, you Know fUl; but for
tho foae of being suspected of crime,
my distress should never have been
known.
“A life of unblemished honor,”
plied his friend “has placed you aboya
the reach of suspicion ; besides, look
here 1” and he showed the missing
watch. “It is I/< said he, “who must
ask pardon of you all. In a fit of ab

pocket, where in Johnson's presence,
I discovered it while undressing.”
“If I had only known,” murmured
poor Dutton.
“Don’t regret wlmt has occurred,
said the General, pressing his hands
kindly. ‘It has been the means of ac
quainting.me with what you should
never have concealed from an old
friend, who, pleased God, will find

In a few days Captain Dutton re
