Except that ho indulged too freely
in the uso of the intoxicating cup,
John Wallace was an honest, high-
minded and extraordinary man. His
one great fault hung like a shadow
over his many virtues. He meant
well, and when ho was sober he did
well.
lie was a hatter by trade, and by in
dustry and thrift ho had secured
money enough to buy tho house in
which ho lived. I To had purchased it
before, for £3,000, paying $l,000Uown,
and secured tho balance by mortgage
to tho seller.
Tho mortgage was almost duo at
the time circumstances made mo ac
quainted with tho affairs of tho fami
ly. Hut Wallace was ready for the
lay; he had saved up the money; there
seemed to be no possibility of an acci
dent. I was well acquainted with
Wallace, having done some little col
lecting and drawn up legal documents
for him. One day his daughter Annie
came to my office in groat distress, de-
claring that her father was ruined,
and that they should bo turned out of
the houso in which they lived.
“Perhaps not, Miss Wallace.” said I
trying to console her and gi vo tho af
fair, whatever it was, a bright aspect.
"What has happened?"
“Aly father,” she replied, “had the
money to pay tho mortgage on the
house iu which wo live, but it is all
gone now."
“Has ho lost it?”
“1 don’t know. I suppose so. Last
week ho drew two thousand dollars
from tlie bank, and lent it to Mr. Hryco
for ten days.”
“Who is Mr. Bryce?”
"lie is a broker. My father got ac
quainted with him through George
Chandler, who boards with us, and
who is Mr. Bryce’s clerk.”
“Does Mr. Bryce refuse fo pay it?”
“He says he has paid it.”
"Well, what is the trouble then?”
"Father says he has not paid it.”
"Indeed! But the note will prove
^hat he 1ms not paid it. Of course,
you have tho note?”
"No, Mr. Hryco has it.”
“Then, of course, lie has paid it?"
“I suppose he has, or he could not
have the note.”
"What does your father say?”
“lie is positive that he never received
the money. The mortgage, ho says,
must he paid to-morrow.”
“Very singular. Was your father—”
I hesitated to use the unpleasant
word which must have grated harshly
on the ear of the devoted girl.
“Mr. Hryce says father was not
quite right when he paid him, but not
very bad.”
“I will seo your father.”
"He is coming up here in a few mo
ments; I thought 1 would see you
first, and tell you the facts before lie
came.”
"I do not see how Bryce could have
obtained the note unless ho paid the
money. Where did your father keep
it?’
"Ho gave it to inc, and 1 put it in
the secretary.”
“Who was in the room when you
put it in the secretary?”
“Air. Bryce, George Chandler, my
lather and myself.”
The conversation was here inter
rupted by the entrance of Wallace. He
looked pale and haggard, as much from
the effects of anxiety as from the de
bauch from which he was recovering.
“She has told you about it, 1 sup
pose?” said he in a very low tone.
“She has.”
1 pitied him, poor fellow, for two
thousand dollars was a large sum for
him to accumulate in his little busi
ness. The loss of it would make the
future look like a desert to him. It
would be a misfortune which one must
undergo to appreciate it.
“What passed between you on that
day?”
"Well, I merely stopped into his of
fice—it was only the day before yes
terday— to tell him not to forget to
have tho money for me by to-morrow.
He took me into liis back office, nnd
as l sat there he said he would get the
money ready the next day. lie then
left me and went Into the trout office,
where I heard him send George out to
the bank to draw a cheek for two thou
sand dollars; so I supposed he was go
ing to pay me then.”
••What does tho clerk say about It ?'
"He says Mr. Hryco remarked when
he sent him, that ho was going to pay
me the money.”
"Had you tho note with you?”
"No, now I remember; ho said ho
supposed I had not the note with me,
or ho would pay it. 1 told him to
come in the next day and 1 would have
it ready—that was yesterday. When
1 came to look for tho noto It could
not bo found. Annio and I have
hunted the houso all over.”
“You told Bryce so?"
“1 did. Ho laughed, and showed mo
his note, with his signature crossed
over with ink, and a hole punched
through it.”
"It is plain, Mr. Wallace, that ho
paid you tho money, as alleged, or has
obtained fraudulent possession of tho
note, and lm Intends to cheat you out
of tho amount.”
"Ho never paid me,” he replied,
promptly.
“Then ho has fraudulently obtained
possession of the note. What sort of
a person is that Chandler, who boards
with you?”
“A tine young man. Bless you, ho
would not do anything of that kind."
"I am suro ho would not,” repeated
Annio, earnestly.
"How could Hryco obtain tho note
but through him? Wluit time does he
come homo al night?"
“Always at tea time. IIo never
goes out in tho evening.”
"But. father, lie did not come home
till ton o’clock the night belorc you
weul to Bryce’s, lie h^d fo stay in
the office to post Kooks, or something
of tho kind.”
“How did ho get in ?”
"Ho has a night key.”
"I must see Chandler,” said I.
"No harm in seeing him,” added Mr.
Wallace; “I will go for him."
In a few moments ho returned with
the young man Chandler, who, in tho
conversation 1 had with him, mani
fested a very lively interest in the so
lution of the mystery, and professed
himself ready to do anything to for
ward my views.
“When did you return to the house
on Tuesday night?”
“About twelve.”
“Twelve!” said Annie; it was not
more than ton when I heard you.”
“Tho clock struck twelve as 1 turned
the corner of the street,” replied Chand
ler, positively.
“I certainly heard some one in the
front room at ten,” said Annie, looking
with astonishment at those around her.
“We’re getting at something,” said I.
“How did you get in?”
The young man smiled as he looked
at Annie, and said:
"On arriving at the door, I found I
had lost my night key. At that mo
ment a watchman happened along and
I told him my situation. He knew me,
and taking a ladder from an unfinish
ed house opposite, placed it against one
j of the second-story windows, and I en
tered in that way.”
“Good. Now, who was it that was
| heard in the parlor, unless it was
i Hryce or one of his accomplices? He
j must have taken the key from your
j pocket, Chandler, and stolen the note
from the secretary. At any rale J will
I charge him with the crime, let what
| may happen. Perhaps ho will confess
when hard pushed.”
Acting upon this thought, I wrote a
j lawyer’s letter—“demanded against
j you,” etc.—which was immediately
! sent to Mr Hryce. Cautioning the
I parties not to speak of the affair, I dis-
j missed them.
Hryce came.
“Well, sir, what have you to say a-
gainst me?” he asked, stilliy.
“A claim on the part of John Wal-
i lace for $2000,” I replied, poking over
! my papers, and appearing perfectly in-
i different.
“Paid it,” he said, short as pie crust.
“Have you?” said I, looking him
| sharply in the eye.
The rascal quailed. 1 saw that he
was a villain.
“Nevertheless, if within an hour you
do not pay me $2000 and $i00 for the
: trouble and anxiety you have caused
my client, at tho end of tho n,\xt hunt
you will be lodged in jail to answer a
criminal charge.”
"What do you Wan, sir?"
“I mean what 1 say. Pay, or take
tho consequences.”
II was a bold charge, and if he had
looked like an honest man, 1 should
not have dared to make it.
"1 have paid tho money, 1 tell you,”
said he; “1 have tho note in my posses
sion.”
"1 got it when I paid the ”
"When you feloniously entered the
house of John Wallace, on Tuesday
night, at ten o’clock, and took the said
noto from the secretary."
"You have no proof," said he grasp
ing a chair for support.
"That is my lookout. 1 have no time
to waste. Will you pay, or go to jail?"
He say the evidence 1 had was too
strong for Ids denial, and he drew his
check on the spot for $2100, and after
begging 1 mo not to mention the affair,
he sneaked oIT.
1 cashed the cheek and hastened to
Wallace’s house. The reader may judgo
with what satisfaction he received it,
and how rejoiced was Annie and her
lover. Wallace insisted that I should
take $100 for my trouble, hull mag
nanimously kept only $20. Wallace
signod tho pledge, and was ever after
a temperance man. lie died a few
years ago, leaving a handsome proper
ty to Chandler and his wile, the mar
riage between him and Annie having
taken place shortly after tho above
narrati d circumstance occured.

Indian Slavery in Early Mexico.
The old Spaniards were not at all
afraid of the savages, and enslaved as
many as they wished and made them
work well in the mines. History tells
us this, and tells ns besides that they
treated tho Indians with great cruelty.
Even tho pious fathers made the In
dians cultivate the soil and lead clean
lives, and, abovo all, caused them to
give i p their ways of idleness. Every
jjvepjWg tlm Indians ( {true In from la
bor, and, after singing some religious
songs, were locked up for the night in
about the same way that the negro
slaves of tho Southern States woro for
merly locked up. There was no non
sense about it, and near every mission
there was kept a small parly of Span
ish soldiers who disciplined tho In
dians whenever they needed it, which
was quite often. Whenever any ot
them made their escape to tho moun
tains the soldiers went after them and
brought them home, or rather hack to
the missions, and again set them to
work Some of these Indians eventu
ally become respectable members of
society and good men, though others
returned to their vagabond life after
tho priests had lost their hold upon
them and tho church property had
been secularized, which occured as far
back as 1833. When the church prop
erty was abandoned, as was virtually
done in consequence of a decree of the
supreme government in tho City of
Mexico, dated August 17, 183-1, tho
semi-civilized Indians found them
selves free, as they considered it, and
returned to their wild ways.—Chicago
Times.
A King’s Workshop.
In a letter loecntly received from
Burmah a characteristic sketch is giv
en in illustration of tho state of tho
country under its present ruler, in
which it is stated that at Sagino there
is what is called the king’s workshop,
which was erected at the instance of
the last ruler at an enormous expense,
his idea being to build steamers for his
own and the country’s use. The ship
building yard is at Mandalay, and tho
place at Sagino was designed as a
foundry, in which cast and wrought
iron was to be treated. Two largo
furnaces, fifteen boilers, three furna
ces for cast iron, seven large engines,
five rolling mills for bar iron, and
a quantity of other machinery (includ-
I ing a large steam hammer, lathes,
punching and shearing machines, and
' ore crushers) have been put down.
| All that is required is to start the fires
and raise steam; yet this valuable prop
erty is meantime overgrown with the
products of the soil. The large steam
hammer is twined round with beauti
ful crimson creepers; from out of one
of the lurnaces grows a large prickly
cactus; tho rolling mills are sha led
with large tree ferns. The machinery,
however, is not rusted, though nearly
ten years have elaspe 1 since the king
died. The works were suspended at
his death, and the present king will
neither spend more money on tho un
dertaking nor sell it to other-, —h on.

A beautiful fact on this subject is
related of a distinguished clergyman.
On one occasion a humble, worthy mar*
who had befriended the clergyman in
early life called to seo him, and was
invited to the family table. He began
to eat with his knife, as he had been
accustomed, and the younger people
smiled. 'Die clergyman looked round
upon them, as if to say: “Stop that!”
and at once himself began to eat with
his knife, and did so to the end of tho
meal. After dinner one of the children
asked him why he did so. The clergy
man replied: "It is well enough for us
to observe the etiquette of the day; but
it is far more important to avoid in
sulting people. I wanted my old
friend to enjoy his dinner, which he
could not have done if be had seen you
laughing at him. lie is accustomed to
use his knife, and it would bo quite
difficult (or him to uso the fork in
stead.” That was genuine politeness.
The world would be happier and bet
ter if there were more of it.
