In fic¬ tion we thread with itrained and anxious sense the maxas of artful plots, start nnd wonder ai strange coincidoncea, revel in aympathy in ar¬ dent passions, luxuriate inthe sweet richness of Elysian happiness ; but ihrough all is difiused a cooling sense of airy Qoreah'ty, such aa accom- paniea our own day-dreams. And alwaya tho warmer glows car sympathy the nearer tbe tale approaches to known truth; the more it assumes tbe character of developement of one of Nature's great laws, or tbe more.the pans begin to form themaelves into a faint image of some scene in our life's history. But when in fact itself the hands of Providence ailenily work oat, with all thoprecisenosa and unity ofa well-thought nov¬ el, one ofthose wonderful seqoences that seem¬ ed 10 us possible only in romance, wo are star¬ tled as if wu meet embodied in solid, palpable matter the varied phantasms of our sleep. The following story ban example ol^the exe¬ cution ofone of those heavy dooms ihat haag over sin, wroDghi out toa completeness on thi* aide "the veil," which noveiiata hare someiimes made the plan of their most powerful romances, apeaking the voice of Nature with more than Nature's furciblenesa. Here Nature, haa for once, at least, loudly nnd clearly declared herself and her own great voice strikes us with greater awe than thosmaHer tones of her half-guessing interpreters. The chief personages of the siory are, so far as known, men living in tho lower western cor¬ ner of Maine, and the naar portion of New Hampshire, and would wonder lo see detailed by ou unknown hand a paaeage in their lifo over which memory broods in sadness, ',. Some fifty yesrs ago, there lived in a town in the Bouth-enat corner ot New Hanipshiro a young mecbanic, juat beginning lo earn hie own subsis. lence, and promising, ihrough wise frugality and strict fidoliiy, to accompliwh that eaisily and lay in store enough for his old age and; be- queais tu his children. He was nf instinctive good manners. Irank in his community with so¬ ciety, kind and sympathizing ia his feelings.— In form he waa tail and symmetrical; his feature* finely cut, ofa soft, dark hue; his eyes black and sparkling, deep set undera high forehead, upon the arch of which strayed curia of rich chestnut hair. His was juat ihai appearance that suits tha word man. He had been but a a abort limo in the village before he began to aiiraci the attention of the gentler sex. The more they grew to know him the stronger be¬ come their liking to him. With the old women he was the sum ofall virtues^ and with the mai¬ dens the object of many a soft dream and warm desire. There was many a bright eye peeping round the inside window frame as he passed to and trom his labor, and many a glance at church, ibat ought to havo been turned to ihe preacher^ shot aslant to the young mechanic. In the cool ofoBummer^a eve the voices whose hum came Ihrough the open doors and windows, were not unfrequently the old women's, chanting the prai- Bsa of James Aiwood ; and to these the hearts if not the tongues of the listening maidens chim. od in luneful accord. One morning Mr. Gilder, one of a firm ofjew- •lers ofthe town, found oa opening his store that the door had been forced and a quaniiiy o| jewelry, in value from four to five hundred dol¬ lara, bad been carried off. Siricl inquiries were made", but no trace of the thief could be found. Certain fimalliocidenta led Mr, Gilder to fix hia iuspicions on Jomea Atwood. He, wiih oihers, had always held James in good esteem, and he had notof course escaped ihe favorable infiuence that ifae atrong aiding of the gentler half of the villago upon the sterner sex; bui from causes ihai to others might seem worthless, and even to himself, on etrici reflection, of uncerhtin weight, and from a feeling of assurance, at if fie waa on the righi track, Mr. Gilder beiran lo en- teruin gloomy doubts of the integrity and hono¬ rable dealing of ibe young mechanic. The ex- preasion ot these doubiaonone or two occasions set ibe houses of ihe village buxiing like rapped bte-hives. So Mi. Gilder waa ftin to keep silent though none the less there brooded in his minj ihote dark suepicions ihai scowled heavily at James Aiwood* Thus things stood for some month- One morn¬ ing there was & Biir in the vilfage, and a running irom house lo house. A horse bad been aioJen from Ihe houee whare James Aiwood boarded- and James himaeli was misaing. Thia time ihere was email room for doubt. Indignant house wifes now opened realless batteiies of in¬ vective Bgaiiihi thu doublt-laced hypocrite; and (ho reluctsm heart of the maiden was forced to bunisti irom ihe pure Bhririe of its affection the imsgo ot a tugiiive horBe-ihief. On hearing ofihiB occurrence, Mr. Gild«r determined lo pursue some course by which fae might briug ilie thief to ju^tlLC. On talking with ihe owner of the horse, and considering ihe loog start the ihier had, even il he were certain ol his track he thought il best to wail and decide hia pian'oc- cordujg to circumstances thai uughi iranapue. The man wliom Jam«s lived with told him iIjbi Ihe young man bad Jeii all liiS clothes m hia room and u seemed itui unlike that Jamea would steal back aome nigbi lo neover them. 'If he does,' said Mr- Giider, 'whether it is candle-tighi at miaujghi, or in the morning, l wont you to call me, aud I will loliow liim.' CHArriiK II. One Spring niuriimg, long before day light, passed between them,.bm they lay glarinf into each otbe^^a eyes* ¦. . . At the noise of the ecufilo, the old woman of tho house camd running in, with both her hands clasped'tight before her, and bar eyea bigger than nature ever made tham. ** What oh Birth's the matiert What on airibi'B the matter I" exclaimed she. " What are you doing there, airf* growled ihe old man from ihe other door. *' Don't be alarmed, my good people,'* an¬ awered Ihe jeweler;.*' it is only a horse thief I have caught.*' *'*0h ! a horse ihief!'' said the old woman letting down her hands, and letitng in bar eyes with a sigh. " WeU, I'm glad you got him> then.'* " If it's a horso thief," said the old man, " I won't have anything to do with him." Means wore taken lo secure the captive for the night. In the morning ihe jowelur waa at a loss how lo carry the criminal eafely home. Af¬ ter a liulo mediiation he cut tbe lacing that tightened the watui-band of tbe young man's trowscr's above his hips, and in those days sup¬ plied ibe place of suspenders. Thus letting down the pantaloons below his feel, he seated him on bis horse, sure that if James got 00'lhe horse and tried lo run he would find himself like a 6y in molasses or litte "puss in boots." No trouble occurred on tho joarnoy. Jamea resign¬ ed himtotf with oil the psBsivencsa of a'.n in de¬ spair. At the next session of the Criminal Court James Atwood was found guilty on two indict¬ ments—for _horae-8iealing and burglary. In those days ihe penal codo of New England gen¬ erally retained that harshness and inequality of punietimeni which it had derived from England, and which lill very lately was a part of the ju¬ dical system of the latter couniry. James Ai¬ wood, aa a horse-thief, might be branded on the forehead or sold lo service as a marine. There was no chance for the prasecuiora to avail them- eekesof the latter alternative,,and when thcy bought ot tbe youth of the accused, and looked at his manly features, they could not bring ibem- seives to scorch in bis brow the sligma of crime, wbich like a cancerous spot must alwaya be eat¬ ing iu and consuming the high ambitious and strong hopes of vigorous manhood, aud mar lo all observers the pleasing handiwork of'naiure. The two. accDsers agreed to release the young man on condition that ho would give ihem eacb a bond lo pay ihem suma of money as h^lwas able, until a certain amount was completed. To this the condemned aaaented, eager at any risk lo escape the hard fates of servitude or brand¬ ing, whicb ibe law threatened him with; and only too joyfal to evade the necessity of seek¬ ing the better of two such hopeless prospects, on lorma BO easy and eo fiatiering to his self- pride* Alaa! for James Atwood the day that he bound himself to pay in silver thc Iosscb and penalty of his sin I He thought his whole crime lay between man and man ; and when mutual agreements had quieted the difference between him and his prosecutors, then all thinga, were reinstated. He forgot the offended majesty of Naturo, who offers but one way of pacification. Tbe Neracaii, in her inexorable justice waa to be FOtiefied by complete sclf-abasemeni alone.— Well for him ifhe had ullerly subjcclftd himsel* in Bclf-Luntcmpi and lowliresa, tilt ho felt a warm glow of saddened conientmeni growing up in htB hosrt. Nature's pledge that she was eatisfiad. and not to think that by the aacrifice of the mere good of this world he could hold to the dignity ol a manhuvd he had dishonored tha; he could salve a wounded sovereignty with doHara, and ward off thc tron blow of tho eiern Guardian of the moral laws by the bending arr.iw of human adjUBtmenie. Hear the rost of his history, and see how the Nemesis repaid on him ot lost tho pena\ty."of his ain a double por¬ tion in her aggrieved vengeance. .wamMU*-'8i('ldA-h*()a*yvffi<rtatflohg~ihe^^ Veil =mal^iiiid='t^^ 'a^^gjor^'U^^^ Tabl«iof jib«;;KhtCk-8tbo6torJbr OctoBfer occur;;\k shd'rphlack'^Vei.undiera^'Jb^^^^ jhfttqltpsymg wrai^tfltTiijSm-ffU-s-'c'^-;'-¦¦¦¦¦;¦ I'-H^nipfleTd' ¦rjl*K6T^!_V«hBt*)^*,ex5|wig(^^^ '^ "^ ' •--*---- I^TBAY-'COWif ?*.Soma idafcflfnhfljhai&lpW of>?i genuine ! 6 milea trom Jtancaater. a WHITJSrr-COf-*-p the Jeweicr Utatd u loud rap ai his door.

Soon after agreeing lo the terms of his re leas:: James went to Boston and began his busioes thero. His affairs tjoon prospered, ^and his old hopes and imaginings stole back inio him. Thc sin of an impulsive and thoughiless yonth buried in the dast, he would begin thereon to build the structure of his life in strength and beauiy. He did not think the dead might turn in us grave witb super-humaa strength and shake to ruins the fair building over it. For two or three years things went on quiet¬ ly, aud with hia increasing ability to appear in neal habit, and in respectable relations in socie¬ ty grew bis hopefulness and self-aEsurancc At hie employment he stood among his fellow- workmen as an equal, and his faithfulnssB and zeal made thom look upon him with more than mere indifferent tolerance. He came by degrees to assume the superiority that lay implied in all their demesnor toward him. In the world out- fiide, when each threaded among the mae^ to¬ ward his own peculiar ends, he went wiih the olherB, a sitgle self among tha thousands, treat¬ ed with the Jorbearance and careless courtesy that the unknown, self-wrapped passers yield lo a similar alienate mystery that stalks in living body by them. Thua grew up a dignity of thought and feeling of sslf-sofiicient power with¬ in him which belongs to heBlihtul manhood, and is the stimulating principle of forcible action, tbe loundaiion that supports all hope and con- teatddnaaa. One day aa he was passing ihruugh the alreels, a form werii by unnoticed like many othere, and Jamea waa going on hia way m his own thought, when a voice sounded in hia ears that aet hie knees trembliag under bim, and drew a curiain like night across his ey^s. It aeemed to him like a voice calling away oui ofhis former years, lull of boding to him: •* Jomes Atwood! James Aiwood ! where aro you going ao last f He needed but to turn to see what he felt, ih« presenceof ihe jeweler beside him. '* Well, my boy, you ere finely dressed up, ain't yonf Where did you gel ihis smooth dandy coat, this dainty umbrella, and tbe watch thai 1 suppose hanging from this chain ?— Haven't forgot some jewelry of minff you made acquaintance with once, have you t Come, I'll tako ihcae things, and any money, loo, if you have the article. I don't know but, according to agreement, the cloihes ought to be thrown in also.'' According to agreement he bad no right to claim a single thing in this way. But James was amazed and bewildered, and felt himeelf in the jeweler's power. He gave him his pocket- book and umbrella, bul ho held the wateh close in his hand. "Come, come, give us tho watch. A horee- thief has no business to carry a watch. Honest men can hardly do that.'' " It ismybrother's. Sir, andl cannot gj^o i away.'' "Give it away J ha ! ha ! You owe it to me man. Let me haro it, I say. If you want it again, why juat leave iwenty dollara at my hotel, and I willleave tbe watch for you.'* Thua they BBparated. What black, crushing incubus iay on James Atwood'a heart none bm the doomed can tell. The young dawning bright- nesB that was just cheerfully lighting up his -in¬ ner being was awallowed up in a black night.- Two heavy hands Beamed pressed io the walla ot hiBbram.andhe cared not if they fell inward- The next day the jeweler tound iwenty dol- lars at the office of tbo hotel left in Hen of thf watch. The jeweler reiarned bome congratulating himBelfwiibhissbrewdneBBand bis succosa— Ho had made a journey to Boston aud back and made money by it. The parse he had expected to empiy had grown folter. a thing thai did not happen ofteo abort of fairy land. thar cold nor raining. Ho lookedover the rail¬ ing into thejeweler'a coop, and seeing the. jewr eler there over a watch. '_''''.. "Holloa! jieighbor Gilder," he bawled, "how are you to-day T'* UHolloa! holloa! neighbor Smith, when did you come from down East J" And so they went on asking and re-aaking/ till the whole liat of acquaintances on each side and the remarkable eventa in eacb (own were run throueb. '• One ihlng,"though, I forgot to tell you," aaid Mr. Smith, laughing, after, they were through with all there was toiefl^ aod he could think of nothing mora, **our neighbor had an iucrcaao ihe night before I came away ; Deacon Stone's daughter presented her husband with a little music-box in a flannel wrapper." " Deacon Stone's daughter ? Whom did she marry I" eaid Mr. Gilder. "Oh! 1 forgot. You had a liiilo iotereet there, in your younger dayB.didn'tyou I Why, ahe married a young fellow that came down our way. Fine fellow he waa, too. Deacon Stono took a liking to him and ael him up ir. business. Mary didn't think" that waa reward enough for hia merits and good looks, and ao she gave himiwraelf. Hia name is Atwood—James At¬ wood." Jamea Aiwood !" said the jeweler, as if mu¬ sing ; "James Atwood ! When do you go back a gain, Mr- Smith. Perhaps I'lPgo witb you." "In two or three days. Whai'a started you So quick /'' " Oh ; nothing. It seems to me as ifl ahould like to aee the old place." Would thai he had wanted' to eee nothing more ! : ' The first thing the jeweler did on arriving Mown east' was to ask the tavern-keeper where James Atwood lived. It was quite late in the evening, and tho landlord told bim that the vciy man had jusl gone out of the bar-room, and i^ Mr. Gilder would wait till morning, be would bo Bure to find him at ihe house. Mr. Gilder concluded to. wait, and soon after went lo resi for the night. In the morning, as he waa atanding on ihe platform in front of tho laveru, the Jandford came out, and pointing him to a man that stood a little distance off, told him thnt was Mr. At¬ wood. Tbe man was standing with his back to Mr. Gilder, and the lalter was dose upon him before ho spoke, and bade him 'Good Morning.' The man turned and politely.* answered the greeting, but wuh a look of wonder and inquiry. " Don't you know me, James ? I am Mr. Gil¬ der. You remember me at P h." An ashy paleness shot over the whole of the man's foce, and he fell to (he ground as if a heavy blow struck him. Mr, Gilder was alarmed^ " Don't be afraid, James, I won't hurt you.— Be a man and gel up." "For God's sake, Mr. Gilder, what do y^u come hunting me up for ? If you have any mer¬ cy for me, any Bymp.aiby witha husband and father, keep this miserable aecret quiet. X will give all you can ask.; my store with its goods ie free to you; nil that you can take without ex¬ posing me is yours if you will only go off and leave me alono.*' Mr. Gilder waa av^icious, but, flomebow or otber, he didn't feel like taking all James offered him. If James would make him up about a hundred dollara in money and goods he would be aati&ficd. Ina day ur two alt was arranged, and Mr^ Gitdor departed for home. The sioga he rode in wss heavy with hia luggage- He could hear parcels jumping on tbe siage-iop, feel iiawayirg lho Kiago from behind, ond his finger ends in hif pocket could feel the Bweil/ng in hie pocket- book. But hia feeling and hearing made him Borl of uneasy ; he had rather beat with hia fing" •rs on tbe.clbow-reat, and look out of the win dow at the landscape. He did'nt eee but he had a right lo the properly ; there waa lho agree¬ ment between him and Jamea Atwood in his breaai-pockot, where was written in ae plain terma as a lawyer could write it, the promise of Jomes Aiwood to pay him certain sums of money with Jamea Atwood'eown name underneath in hisown hand-writing. And had he not lei it run on for a long lime without being so strict aa the law allowed him to be ? And then, when he applied to James Atwood liadn'i he let him pay in goods what the law aaid waa to be wholly paid in money, and that, too, without taking al' ihe low allowed him 1 He didn't know why he should feel bo uneasy, when "there was so iittie to blame himself about. For all his reasoning the thought, and more still, the feeling of hia baggage made him fidgety. Ho was experien cmg, what loo many experience without profit, that 'the law,' and the conawencc are not al¬ ways tbe same; that a principle of generosity and broad-heartedneas enters into the justice of the natural conBittution; that tho gross material system of human judicatory coutd never hold in its artificial syntheseB; that the human soul with its laws was framed long before man legislated, and its object of obedience-was rather iis own moral senee; and that, transfer its fealty aa much as you can to lho worded principles of legal righ^ aud honesty, the divine coDsciouBness of the sou' makea a sigh in the heart when the standard of obedience fall short ot its first implanted idea^ of duty. Alas! that Mr. Gilder waa not ihe only man that has felt this incomplete aatisfac tion of duly ; and alaa \ that he was not tbe only man that hae been blind to tbe cause of it. Alasi that the packages on top that at limes went to pounding the roof like fifty frantic base-drum¬ mers, were beating to him a far off and indis- U net tune! When Mr. Gilder arrived at home and had gotten all tho things nicely set in a row in his store room, and had hung up a smooth Sunday suit of clothes in hia chamber closet, be began to feel a little plea^uter. Soon tbe sight of them would difiuss a soft, warm glow round his ¦etomach thai would make his palms itch M'S''9Uiiyop"«!» ^t(9rp.>iya«ft,chap;«l nirnb8iijjiSamb.o!8,.^«^^may ^SrCT*SWd5i»mAM»e .Wr bf years ago,.atolo:abbhafromn?y. father- He ; nexed,,p.ai;agra]pb,^mclb':.T^e^^ Daily, svBB.riit&er'i'iikely^yoong follow, and the old !

' ¦¦ . In all the village where James Atwood lived, on the next morning after this.man's arrival) men were gathering iri knots and talking close togeiher at the corners, young children were stealing to school half ina tremor, staring at itie pasacrB-by with deep, awe airuck facea; otd wivea and maids were heaving long, unfathoma¬ ble sighs, and lifting earnest eyes to heaven in the cottages. James Atwood's store was shut up and people looked at it as ifit were a haunt¬ ed dwelling. The doors were all closed down at Atwood's white college, and inthe sunlight that lay warm about the door no children were play¬ ing. The woodbine hung heavy and solemn about the entrance. That same night, in the ahadows, a form might have been soon gliding oul of ibe lown and in the morning, a widow's weeping and lam- eniatiouB amid her orphans was heard in Jamea Atwood's collage. Tbe father had fled, like Cain, from the pres¬ ence ot his siii. Tho old jeweler, who told this atory thro' the trembling tips of old age, said : "My heart is heavy lo thia day, when I think how much I had to do with making ihai fathor- tess family !"

His mind wae away in the midst of ihe scenes ofhis tales, and forgetting all pr-'seni scrupIeB or determinations, he came upon tfae eventa ofhis paat life wiih James Aiwood; and the more interest the bear, er showed at the narrative, ihe moro minutely did ihe old man picture the deiaile. Mr. Gilder never once thought, nor did anyibig but the rem- iniacencesof Ihe evcola dwell in his mind (or after-ihoughla; so he never recalled that ihe man who was hia listner .waa the. aon of the neighbor from whom Jamea Aiwood stole, the horse, ahd who received a bond equally with bim. This son had found among his father's papera auch a bond, but did ntit.then uudereland it. He said nothing lo tbe jeweler, but soon raifling'up, left the chop. It waa a few evenings after, tbat, in the bar¬ room of a tavern of the village^ there eat before the £fo that biaked high in the chimney a group of men, apparently travelers.

" Loved! aye, child, madly !"'continued Hor- tense. " The liay we parted, I remember, we had apple-fritters for dinner. He himself pre¬ pared the dainty for me. As he peeled and sliced croBsways. a quarter of an inch thick, the rosy fruit before him, he breathed in my car the first avowal ofthe lovo he teli for me. He then placed in a basin about two ounces of flour, a Utile sail, lwo teaspoon tula of oil, and the yolk of an ege, moistened by degress with water, and all the lime he kepi atirrine up the compound with a spoon. I thought I should have fainted, for my heart Was breaking," "Dear Hortenae,'* exclaimed Eloiae, "Ah; how you must have sufTered!" " It is past now," sighed the brave girl. Then, resuming her slory, ahe said, " When the whole formed a smooth consialency tothe thickness Of cream, he beat up the while of an egg lill firm, mixing it with the batter. I could endure my agony no longer. 'Alexia !> I cried beware how you irifie wiih me !" ''Proceed, youinterestme greatly," remarked Eloise. " What was his answer?". Horierse, with an eifort: " When ihe mix¬ ture was hot, he put the applea in one ot a lime turning them over with a slice as ihey were doing. Suddenly he turned towards rae, his face glowing wiih pasaion"— '*Nay, Bay not so!'» interrupted the kind Eloise: "perhapB the heat of the fire, and not paaaion, had tinged his choekB."

" And the fritlere 7" inquired the gentle Eloise " They were excelleni;" coniinued Horlenea in a calmer lone. " Tbal evening he presented me wiih ft receipt for making them, togeiher with a lock ofhis hair, whicb, however, -formed no part of the receipt.

He was informed that the man waa deal and dumb, " I don't care," said the judge paaatonaiely," whether he is or not—here IS ihe conatituiion of the United Stales before rae. It euaraniees lo every man tho right ot speech : and bo long as I have iho honor ofa aeai on this bench it shall not be violated.— Whai thia conaiitmioa guaranieca to a man he shall have I reckon." ft5" A Minister waa once apeaking to a broihe^ clergyman ol his gratiiude for a merciful deliv¬ erance hc had jusl experienced. " Asl was riding here to-day," said ho, *' my horae stumbled, and came very near throwing me from a bridge, whero the fall would havo killed rae, but I escaped unhuri.'' "lean tell you somolhing more ifaan that,'' said the oiher. " As I rode here lo-day,' my horea did not stumble al all."

It might be qaeitioned whether fiction, wiih >II itaextensive command of means to atir ibe soul aod to fix it in breathless abitractiou opon iu TertBtmih'tadci that are "liker'' than ehe truth and with alt ica large rang* of ¦ction, so much larger tban tbe iruth'e insomuch as the ideal out- Blretchtis the real—whether, with all thia ilHmi- tabiliiy ofpoworand domain, itia superior to ibe tratb in iifl impressions and efficiency. In fic¬ tion we thread with itrained and anxious sense the maxas of artful plots, start nnd wonder ai strange coincidoncea, revel in aympathy in ar¬ dent passions, luxuriate inthe sweet richness of Elysian happiness ; but ihrough all is difiused a cooling sense of airy Qoreah'ty, such aa accom- paniea our own day-dreams. And alwaya tho warmer glows car sympathy the nearer tbe tale approaches to known truth; the more it assumes tbe character of developement of one of Nature's great laws, or tbe more.the pans begin to form themaelves into a faint image of some scene in our life's history. But when in fact itself the hands of Providence ailenily work oat, with all thoprecisenosa and unity ofa well-thought nov¬ el, one ofthose wonderful seqoences that seem¬ ed 10 us possible only in romance, wo are star¬ tled as if wu meet embodied in solid, palpable matter the varied phantasms of our sleep.
The following story ban example ol^the exe¬ cution ofone of those heavy dooms ihat haag over sin, wroDghi out toa completeness on thi* aide "the veil," which noveiiata hare someiimes made the plan of their most powerful romances, apeaking the voice of Nature with more than Nature's furciblenesa. Here Nature, haa for once, at least, loudly nnd clearly declared herself and her own great voice strikes us with greater awe than thosmaHer tones of her half-guessing interpreters.
The chief personages of the siory are, so far as known, men living in tho lower western cor¬ ner of Maine, and the naar portion of New Hampshire, and would wonder lo see detailed by ou unknown hand a paaeage in their lifo over which memory broods in sadness, ',. Some fifty yesrs ago, there lived in a town in the Bouth-enat corner ot New Hanipshiro a young mecbanic, juat beginning lo earn hie own subsis. lence, and promising, ihrough wise frugality and strict fidoliiy, to accompliwh that eaisily and lay in store enough for his old age and; be- queais tu his children. He was nf instinctive good manners. Irank in his community with so¬ ciety, kind and sympathizing ia his feelings.— In form he waa tail and symmetrical; his feature* finely cut, ofa soft, dark hue; his eyes black and sparkling, deep set undera high forehead, upon the arch of which strayed curia of rich chestnut hair. His was juat ihai appearance that suits tha word man. He had been but a a abort limo in the village before he began to aiiraci the attention of the gentler sex. The more they grew to know him the stronger be¬ come their liking to him. With the old women he was the sum ofall virtues^ and with the mai¬ dens the object of many a soft dream and warm desire. There was many a bright eye peeping round the inside window frame as he passed to and trom his labor, and many a glance at church, ibat ought to havo been turned to ihe preacher^ shot aslant to the young mechanic. In the cool ofoBummer^a eve the voices whose hum came Ihrough the open doors and windows, were not unfrequently the old women's, chanting the prai- Bsa of James Aiwood ; and to these the hearts if not the tongues of the listening maidens chim. od in luneful accord.
One morning Mr. Gilder, one of a firm ofjew- •lers ofthe town, found oa opening his store that the door had been forced and a quaniiiy o| jewelry, in value from four to five hundred dol¬ lara, bad been carried off. Siricl inquiries were made", but no trace of the thief could be found. Certain fimalliocidenta led Mr, Gilder to fix hia iuspicions on Jomea Atwood. He, wiih oihers, had always held James in good esteem, and he had notof course escaped ihe favorable infiuence that ifae atrong aiding of the gentler half of the villago upon the sterner sex; bui from causes ihai to others might seem worthless, and even to himself, on etrici reflection, of uncerhtin weight, and from a feeling of assurance, at if fie waa on the righi track, Mr. Gilder beiran lo en- teruin gloomy doubts of the integrity and hono¬ rable dealing of ibe young mechanic. The ex- preasion ot these doubiaonone or two occasions set ibe houses of ihe village buxiing like rapped bte-hives. So Mi. Gilder waa ftin to keep silent though none the less there brooded in his minj ihote dark suepicions ihai scowled heavily at James Aiwood*
Thus things stood for some month- One morn¬ ing there was & Biir in the vilfage, and a running irom house lo house. A horse bad been aioJen from Ihe houee whare James Aiwood boarded- and James himaeli was misaing. Thia time ihere was email room for doubt. Indignant house wifes now opened realless batteiies of in¬ vective Bgaiiihi thu doublt-laced hypocrite; and (ho reluctsm heart of the maiden was forced to bunisti irom ihe pure Bhririe of its affection the imsgo ot a tugiiive horBe-ihief. On hearing ofihiB occurrence, Mr. Gild«r determined lo pursue some course by which fae might briug ilie thief to ju^tlLC. On talking with ihe owner of the horse, and considering ihe loog start the ihier had, even il he were certain ol his track he thought il best to wail and decide hia pian'oc- cordujg to circumstances thai uughi iranapue. The man wliom Jam«s lived with told him iIjbi Ihe young man bad Jeii all liiS clothes m hia room and u seemed itui unlike that Jamea would steal back aome nigbi lo neover them. 'If he does,' said Mr- Giider, 'whether it is candle-tighi at miaujghi, or in the morning, l wont you to call me, aud I will loliow liim.'
CHArriiK II. One Spring niuriimg, long before day light,
passed between them,.bm they lay glarinf into each otbe^^a eyes* ¦. . .
At the noise of the ecufilo, the old woman of tho house camd running in, with both her hands clasped'tight before her, and bar eyea bigger than nature ever made tham.
** What oh Birth's the matiert What on airibi'B the matter I" exclaimed she.
" What are you doing there, airf* growled ihe old man from ihe other door.
*' Don't be alarmed, my good people,'* an¬ awered Ihe jeweler;.*' it is only a horse thief I have caught.*'
*'*0h ! a horse ihief!'' said the old woman letting down her hands, and letitng in bar eyes with a sigh. " WeU, I'm glad you got him> then.'*
" If it's a horso thief," said the old man, " I won't have anything to do with him."
Means wore taken lo secure the captive for the night. In the morning ihe jowelur waa at a loss how lo carry the criminal eafely home. Af¬ ter a liulo mediiation he cut tbe lacing that tightened the watui-band of tbe young man's trowscr's above his hips, and in those days sup¬ plied ibe place of suspenders. Thus letting down the pantaloons below his feel, he seated him on bis horse, sure that if James got 00'lhe horse and tried lo run he would find himself like a 6y in molasses or litte "puss in boots." No trouble occurred on tho joarnoy. Jamea resign¬ ed himtotf with oil the psBsivencsa of a'.n in de¬ spair.
At the next session of the Criminal Court James Atwood was found guilty on two indict¬ ments—for _horae-8iealing and burglary. In those days ihe penal codo of New England gen¬ erally retained that harshness and inequality of punietimeni which it had derived from England, and which lill very lately was a part of the ju¬ dical system of the latter couniry. James Ai¬ wood, aa a horse-thief, might be branded on the forehead or sold lo service as a marine. There was no chance for the prasecuiora to avail them- eekesof the latter alternative,,and when thcy bought ot tbe youth of the accused, and looked at his manly features, they could not bring ibem- seives to scorch in bis brow the sligma of crime, wbich like a cancerous spot must alwaya be eat¬ ing iu and consuming the high ambitious and strong hopes of vigorous manhood, aud mar lo all observers the pleasing handiwork of'naiure. The two. accDsers agreed to release the young man on condition that ho would give ihem eacb a bond lo pay ihem suma of money as h^lwas able, until a certain amount was completed. To this the condemned aaaented, eager at any risk lo escape the hard fates of servitude or brand¬ ing, whicb ibe law threatened him with; and only too joyfal to evade the necessity of seek¬ ing the better of two such hopeless prospects, on lorma BO easy and eo fiatiering to his self- pride*
Alaa! for James Atwood the day that he bound himself to pay in silver thc Iosscb and penalty of his sin I He thought his whole crime lay between man and man ; and when mutual agreements had quieted the difference between him and his prosecutors, then all thinga, were reinstated. He forgot the offended majesty of Naturo, who offers but one way of pacification. Tbe Neracaii, in her inexorable justice waa to be FOtiefied by complete sclf-abasemeni alone.— Well for him ifhe had ullerly subjcclftd himsel* in Bclf-Luntcmpi and lowliresa, tilt ho felt a warm glow of saddened conientmeni growing up in htB hosrt. Nature's pledge that she was eatisfiad. and not to think that by the aacrifice of the mere good of this world he could hold to the dignity ol a manhuvd he had dishonored tha; he could salve a wounded sovereignty with doHara, and ward off thc tron blow of tho eiern Guardian of the moral laws by the bending arr.iw of human adjUBtmenie. Hear the rost of his history, and see how the Nemesis repaid on him ot lost tho pena\ty."of his ain a double por¬ tion in her aggrieved vengeance.
