THE FAISK IMPEESOffATIOK, OE MY FELLOW CLEEK. lodRJugs in Copenhagen^ are scarce and dear, are always unfurbisbed, and mustbe taken for long terma and from particular days. Part of this inconvenience ia due -.Vo oMtom, part to absurd police regula¬ tions ; but tbe result is to make tbe Dan¬ ish capital anytbing but an agreeable place of residence for young mon of mod- lerate means. And on that nccount I had tbougbt myself exceedingly lucky in be¬ ing permitted to be a member of tbo bousehold of my employer, M. Hansen, of tbe firm of Hansen &Hojer, merchants. Hansen & Hoyer did a gref t deal of ¦business in the export trada. Tbey dealt tfitb Russia, Sweden, and Fomerania, as ¦well as witb London and Kew York; and it is wonderful in bow many commercial pies the house bad contriTcd to insert a finger, never without profit, as their boolcs could prove. I, their only English clerk —all the rest being Danes, except a mid¬ dle-aged Frenchman, who lived at the Hotel des Empereura—was theonly clerk who resided under tbe roof of the senior partner. M. Hansen was married, of courae, and his wifo was an Englisb lady. His whole family consisted of a son, Karl, and a daugbter, Margaret—"an e.xtremely pretty girl. ' As for myself, I was tben about twenty-four years of age, and had been two years at Copenhagen, whither I bad been sentmore with a view to inquire into tbe Continental method of doing business than with any reference to sala ry. Indeed, I was regarded rather as a pupil than as a 'regular employee of the firm; though Hansen & Hoyer did keep me pretty bard at work, too, what with jnvoiops, manifests and letters. When I first beard that a new clerk, a countryman of my own, was ooming out from England to take his place at the desk and in the family circle, I was rath, er glad than otherwise. There are but few English residents at Copenhagen, and my opportunities for speaking my native tongue were scanty. The D-ines, itis true, are escellent linguists; and M. Hansen could speak very pure Englisb when he chose, but he seldom did choose; while Margaret talked Danish to please ber fa ther, of whom sbo was very fond. Karl was a thorough Scandinavian; and even Madame Hanren, though in the course of her twenty-throe years' residence in Den¬ mark she bad never been ablo to acquire the difficult pronunciation of tho north ern language, still tried bard to conform to every habit of her Imsbcnd's country. I was, tberefore, not sorry that a compa¬ triot of.my own, necessarily ignorant of Danish, was about to join us, and the ra' ther because I sbould probably find my task of the London correspondence con¬ siderably lightened thereby. There was ono misgiving, and one only, in my mind, when I learned tbat Mr. Cbarlea Simpkins—that was the nama of the new clerk—was to be a member of the Hansen bousehold. I was somewhat ap¬ prehensive of the efi'ect which this naw comer, freah from a city which tbe Danes naturally regard as Babylon the Great, migbt produca on Margaret's imagination; for I loved Margaret dearly, and bad loved her long, and hoped that I should, when my probation was over, bear away that frasb, sweet Danish rosebud to my home. The lettOT, however, whieh M. Hansen showed me, and whioh waa written by the new comtr's unole, Mr. Grantley, of Nunn & Grantley, the old and staunch corres¬ pondents of tbe Danish bouse, reassured me immensely. Mr. Grantley made it a epeoial request tbat his nephew, for wbom ke teemed to entertain a sort of kindly contempt, ehould be kept to hard work in a manner tbat should " take the non- senie out of him." It appeired that Mr Charles Simpkins was the son ofa clergy maninSafiTolk; tbatbe had been.some¬ what spoiled at home, as the Idol of half a dozen elder sisters and an affectionate mother; and that he bade fair to tu^n in¬ to an entirely useless member of society. His uncle adnaitted tbat be was a very good young man, amiable, gentle and well-oonduoted, though not tha genius he fancied himself; but it seemed tbat be played the flute, wrote mawkish poetry, and esteemed bimself a Byronio hero—all sins of the first magnitude in the eyes of his gruff relative, who was a bard-beaded man of business. So the ricb uncle, to whom the Suffolk vicar and his family were under great ob¬ ligations, and of wbom tbey evidently stood in awe, bad insisted tbat his ne¬ phew should do sometbing '* to earn hia own living in a creditable way;" and as there happened to ba no vacant stool just then in the counting-bouse of Nunn & Grantley, tbe young man had baen con¬ signed to tho tutelage of Hansen & Hoyer, who wore to receive a fair premium for teaching him all tbat related to tallow, timber, methylated spirits, Biga hemp, Seeland oats and Jutland hides. " I shall put the poor fellow under your oharge. Brooks, out of office hours ; for of course, old il. Adolphe musi; uo irn, mentor in tbe counting-house. I trust to you to see be gets into no scrapes, and to protect him against undue quizzing or practical jokes on tho part of our yoiing- sters. Tbis was true enough; the young, Danes, many of them country-bred you ths who were seated, during oflice bonrs, at the many desks in Hansen & Hoyer's counting-house, wero inclined to be a lit¬ tle boisterous and fond of horse-play like tbeir Viking ancestors, wben the staid elder clerks wereout of the room. However, I resolved to do my best to pro¬ tect and encourage the poor feiloiv. "The bouso frau and the demoiselle wait tea for you, sare," cried a shrill Dan¬ ish female voide, through the keyhole of my door, as I sat musing at theopen win¬ dow. " De ezer Inglis gentleman shall have come just now." In response to good old Sophie's sum¬ mons, I hastened down to the " parlor," so called, where a tall silver samovar, one of those things whicb the richer of Copen¬ hagen residents have borrowed from their Russian neighbors, and where steaming and fragrant tea, cranberry jelly,, fresh Norway strawberries, cream—sucb as only Denm-trk and Hollatjcl profliine—with an unwonted display of cakes, fish und fowl evinced that the quiet family meal had been hastily added to for the purpose of appeasing the hunger of the fasting hew comer. Tbat new comer wns tbere, of course, in ths bigh tide of coover.5ation with botb th« ladies, rattling, chattering and producing more peals of laughter from Margaret's sweet lips tban Tliad ever heard betoro in so brief a space of lime. "Mr. Brooks, let me introduce to you- the new member of our family circle, Mr. Cbarles Simpkins. Do, Mr. .Simplvins, try that cold fowl; we are famous for chick¬ ens in Seeland. You cannot have had anytbing to fat since you left Jutland ; and I am sure, tbougb yom are too polite to say so, tbat you must be hnlf starved," said worthy Madame H.tnsen, piling but¬ tered cake and sbort cake lavishly on ber quest's plate, while lier daughter poured out bis tea. For my part I stared at my fellow-clerk, forgetting my good manners in my curiosity, and utterly afc losa to no- count for the singular description which his uncle had been pleaeed to pen, of a nephew to whom most uncles, as it seems to me, might bavo been proud. Instead of the clumsy, conceited, bash¬ ful hobbledehoy whom I had pictured to myself, I beheld a strapping fellow of six or seven and twenty, as I guessed, witb a flashing eye, crisp,curling, dark hair, and a handsome, merry faco ; a tbougbt reck¬ less, perhaps, but very pleasing in feature and expression. Tlie new clerk was very well dressed, ratber over jewelled, as I thought, but attired in a way that served to set off his showy person remarkably well. He had a bold, soldierly air, an ease of manner tbat I was angry with my¬ self for envying, a flow of airy, joyous tallc, and the most irresistible Kiugh I ev¬ er heprd. Tbe Hansen ladies wero not, I dare say, tbo easiest people in the world for a sli-anger to get ou with. Margaret was rathor proud and reserved, and Ma¬ dame was apt to be a little absent, ber mind running mncb on household cares and duties; while her very elTorfs to play tbe part of a Danish matron, imparted a constraint lo ber bearing. And ye"t in len minutes Mr. Simpkins had contrived lo fascinate them both. M. Hansen was out,and Karl was spend¬ ing the evening with somo young friends of the boat club;''S0 we four were alone to¬ gether. But bad there been forly present instead of four, I do not thiik tbat the new recruit lo the counting house of Hun- sen it Hoyer would have been ab.isbed by the number of str-ingers who might be criticising his manners and address.— Througliout tbe repast he rattled gaily on, now telling us the last scrap of news social or p.litical, from London; now tell¬ ing humorous Uttle anecdotes of curious "two years, Hr. Broofa-^tbtit's a long time; time enongh to get a good kiitjwl- edge of Denmark and ils ways. I wonder how long my unole's-fancy will keep me here? Perhaps two years, perhaps twen¬ ty! Uncles—tbat is, rich uncles—are such despots." Ho then wont on to tell me that be had been considered, from the very cradle, as his Uncle Grantley'a adopted beir; that the first lesson impressed on his infant mind had reference to the propriety,of pleasing tho weaUhy merchant, but that by some ill-Inck he bad generally man¬ aged to give fresh offence to tbis rich and irritable relative at eaob of tho latfer's rare visits to the Suffolk parsonage. " Bat thon," remarked Mr. Simpkins, smiling philosophically, " I am such a thoughtless fellow—f never ahall learn prudence. Sister Gerty said so when I upset the currant jelley over my uncle's white pants, some fifteen Septembers since. I very narrowly escaped being scratched out of bis will that timo, as I have beard from tbe solicitor. Always the same- -careless, blundering " "Poets are privileged Jo be careless," interrupted I, half maliciously, and not quite suro whether I bad not touched a tender spot, or whether my new oom. .-donjio'-* -".nnf/^r fnel embarrassed by any allusion to bis rhyming tendenoto.. He did certainly give a little start, and a vory slight look of annoyance darkened bia handsome face; butit passed Iikea sbadow from a mirror, and be Was as good humored as ever wben ho laughingly con¬ fessed tbat he liad promised Mr. Grantley not to meddle with the Muse, nor to write poetry while engaged in mercantile pursuits—"Not a line," he said, empha't- ically; and tben heaved a little sigh. Very quickly, with his wonted tact, ho contrived to turn tbe conversation, and drew frdm me, wilh a rapidity that sur¬ prised myself, almost every detail of my ordinary life at Copenhagen, tho charac¬ ters and pursuits of the family nnd mem¬ bors of the firm, and so forth. On one sub¬ ject, and ono oniy, I was dumb. My sentiments towards Margaret, and my hope tbat tbose sentiments migbt to some degree be reciprocal, were too saored in my eyes to be made the' theme of dis¬ course with eyen the pleasantest of com¬ panions. But 1 doubt if the secret rS. mained a secret lo my fellow clerk, for there was a knowing twinkle in his bright hazel eyea as lie remarlted what a lucky fellow I ought to be esteemed in being lodged under the same roof wilh pretty I,£tt^omo;..oi]a Kansan. Howover, bis chief interest seemed to lie, strange to "say, in tbose very business details wbich 1 should have imagined would bave proved so dry and distasteful to bim. He seemed never to weary of lalking about Hansen & Hoyer, tbeir commercial connegtion, their wealth and the sources from wliich they drew it- He was quite interested in the informa¬ lion that Russian merchants commonly paid tbe balance over in hard dollars and roubles, while Germany setlled accounts with billa and notes, and Sweden prefer¬ red actual barter. He was evidently anx¬ ious to know every detail of our traffic, for whicb beacoountea thus: " You see, Mr. Brooks, it's a motto w-itb mo, when I do a thing, to do it thorough¬ ly. It bas been settled by tbe eUers th'at I sbould ' go in,' as tbe phrase is, for com¬ merce, ..,;d I may as well see my way, and know sometbing of my new vocation.— Perhaps Unele Grantley, may relent; but if not, I mean to try and become a model clerk. I really am ashamed of keeping you up so long. Twelve o'clocic already ! Good night, ray dear sir." And off went Mr. Charles Simpkins, leaving on mo an uncomfortable impres¬ sion to tbe effect that 1 had beon pumped dry of such information asl possessed, though for wbat reason I could by no means oonjecture. I do not desire to dwell upon tho events of tbe next few days, during whiob Mr. Simpkins gave fresb proofs of the versatile powers with which he was endowed. Tbat be was not bullied-by the clerks it is bard, ly needful to say. Simon Bugge certainly made one or two attempts to turn tbe new comer into ridicule; but, though tba freshman spoke no Danish, bo proved such a masier of repartee in Englisb and Frenoh, lhat tbo laugh was soon tuined ag.iinst bis plumsy tormentor. And as for manual ret.iliaiion, Herr Simon bad sense enough to perceive that a gentleman who could jump tho sunk fence that skirted the warehouse, and lift tho great tabla that only Bugge and myself had ever managed, and that with much dif¬ ficulty, to upbtavc, and bend tbe oflice poker across his knee, was Hkely to be moro than a match for himself. No won¬ der that Mr. Simpkins beoame a sort of hero in the clerk's ^oom, ai auy bold, mu.=euliir fellow is sure to do; but wbat really astonished me was the ardor witb whicb be addressed bimself to business^ M. Adolpbe, theold cashier, was not usu¬ ally very partial io strangers, bnt he was loud in praiso of tbe new comer's assidui¬ ty and ability. It was wonderful, it w-as astonishing, he said, that Jfr- Simpkins, who bad nover been in a counting-house before, mastered tho details of business as things he had observed, or odd adven¬ tures be had met-wilh on bis journey from the Suffolk parsonage to Copenha¬ gen. He made us listen, he made us laugb, whether we wished or no. And yet, such was his tact, ho never seemed unduly to monopolize the convenalion, and when most amused .ippeared least egotiBlical. No wonder tbat I looked at bim in half incredulous amazement, nnd asked myself mentally whethor thi^were really tho raw bumpkin whose protector and adviser I had been appointed by tbe head of the firm. Quite late lhat evening there came a tap at my door, jusl as I was kicking off he did, and displaj ed such a genius for aiitbmetic. I was by no means so satisfied with my countryman as M. Adolphe chose to be. It was not tbat I was jealous ofhis popu¬ larity among the clerks, or that I grudged bim tho cashicr'.s good word and the ap¬ proval of hisemyloyer; butl saw witb dismay tbat Margaret, my pretty Marga. ret, between .whom and mysalf a sort of tacit engagement, pledged moro by eyes than words, had hitherto existed, was fas¬ cinated by tbis new and attractive guest. There was no use in disguising the fact.— Brilliant .Simpkins had thrown plain "Wal¬ ter Brooks inlo tbe shade; and tbougb I j my boota, and the curly dark bair and j was jealous and mortified, I could nol but glittering eyes of my fellow-countryman were protruded inlo lbe room. "Beg your pardon, Mr. Brooks, mny I come in ? If youare not sleepy, and could sparo me balf an hour, I sbould enjoy a chat. Tbanks! Are tbope your cigars on tho chimney-pieec beyond tbo Prus¬ sian stove? "Will yoit try mino!" (pro¬ ducing a yellow leather oaae, full of Ha- vannas tbat a king migbt have smoked . " tbey are called Barclay's best, and Bar¬ clay vjould not deceive me." "We smoked for some momonts in si¬ lence, my own tbougbts being busy witb tbe strange incongruities between tbe portrait of the new com«r aa traced by his undo, Mr. Grantley, of Thames street, and tbe young man bimself. 'What Mr.. Simpkins may have been thinking of I can possibly guess now, but at that time I had no sort of clue to hia meditations.— At last impkina spoke, no longer fluent¬ ly, but in sbort, measured sentences, bro. ken by whiffs of bis cigar. His, words ware fewer and bis manner graver than before; and, had I been less certain of the birth, parentage and education of my in¬ terlocutor than I was, I sbould havo said be nas fishing for information, and trying in a guarded fashion to lesrn bow matters stood with those who wero to be be bis dmly companions. own that tho instrument was possessed of many acconipliahraents -unknbwn'to me. Tbo new olerk was a olever fellow, a sprighlly t-.dker, a good musician, singing well, playing at all games, conjuring as if be bad been apprenticed toa ju^gler,and and never being at a loss for topics of con¬ versalion. My wonder was bow such an Admirable Cricbton bad ever been reared jn a quiet country parsonage; but itis not surprising that Margaret and Madame Hansen agreed in regarding the new in- o;ate of tbeir bouso as a ph<Bnix,ttnd that tbo former should begin to draw unflatter¬ ing comparisons between myself and my gifted countryman. Under these circum¬ stances I becaibe morose and miserable, sat silent in a corner for hours, whilo Mr. Simpkins was at Margaret's side, gaily chatting^singing Italian bravura songs, or performing all manner of variations on the piano. I retired moodily lo my own room, while my suppianter, as I deemed bim, in tbo affections of my Danish beau¬ ty, had a clear field before him ; while he won the good opinions of Mr. and Mad¬ ame Hanson, I look long, long country walks, thinking, with a beavy heart, how soon my own favor bad been eclipsed by the brilliancy of tbis new favorite. In one of these walka it was tbat I sud- I denly encountered the junior p2Ttn»r,Mr. Hoyer, who was driving in froai « wnsll Tiiia whicii lie owned, a league from Co-, penhagen, and where he spent mOch ofj his leisure among his Dutch tulips and quaint, old-fashioned roses. Mr. Hoyer was an old bachelor—a quiet personage witha fondness foir hortioultiire; but "a keen man of businesa. He had been .fot some time absent in Germany and .the Baltio provinces ot Eusaia, and this was tbe first time ofour meetiiig since his re-| torn; He greeted me oordiaHyi fof'l had always stood well with him, and offered me a lifl as fu as Copenhagen. To refuse would bave been churlish, so I complied with the proffer, much as in my present temper I preferred solitude; and we jog¬ ged along tbe sandy road, amid the croak¬ ing of the buU-frogs, in silence for some time. "Brooks," said Mr. Hoyer, abruptly, "bow do you like that new Adonis from Eogland, tbe Herr Simpkins T I have on¬ ly seen him once, and that was last eve¬ ning, wben I dropped in for an hour at Hansons, and when, bye-tbe-bye, you had gone to bed, having a bad headache, eh?" And I tbougbt Mr. Hoyer's eyes, as they surveyed me over tbe tops of bis specta¬ cles, bad a knowing twinkle in tbem, and I dare say I reddened aj tbey met mine. "When I.was a lad," said the good-na¬ tured mercbant, "it wm noi ikouehi a. wise course to leave the field clear to a rival in a young lady's affeetions. How¬ ever," went on tbe worthy old gentleman, wbo was Hansen's senior in years, though not 'n standing, "I don't want to plague you unnecessarily, and so I may aa well lell you thatl don't think Mr. Simpkens bas any more intention of paying court to Mademoiselle Margaret than I have.— It's his way, evidently, to make himself agreeable to every one. Wby, be began to talk of flowers' and bulbs, and grafting to me; having got a hint, no doubt, of my mania for the garden. Bul I laughed in my sleeve, for I soon saw tbat the young¬ ster knew nothing of tbe subject. I'll tell you wbat it is. Brooks—I don't like that j compatriot of yours, and I don't believe he's sincere. He is playing a part, tbougb why I do not know and cannot guess; but auob is tbe case, or my name's not Fred¬ erick Hoyer." Much startled by tbia avowal—for it was the first time tbat I heard anything but praise of our new friend—I asked Mr. Hoyer on what grounds he based his un¬ favorable opinion of tbe Englishman, But the former's dislike to the lalter seemed raiher the result of insiinct than of rea¬ son, and he was obliged to own tbatbe kafl heard nolhing but good of tbe new oomer, of whom old AdolpUo, lu.^ cvnl,- ier, a trusty servant of tfie firm these for¬ ty years, spoke in high terms. One re¬ mark of Mr. Hoyer's certainly did strike me much, chiming as it did, with a pre¬ conceived impression of my own wh'cb I had hitherto sot down to mere prejudice. Mr: Hoyer observed tbat, in the midst of all his merry flow of talk, ffie English clerk was restless, thoughtful, and ever ready lo turn his bend and listen to any sudden sound, such as the slamming of a door, tbe peal of a bell, or tbe roll of wheels. I had noticed this, but never bad recalled the peculiarity to my memory as vividly as when Mr. Hoyer mentioned that he, loo, had been struck by it. It was StiU eariy wben we drove into Copenhagen, for I bad risen at sun¬ rise, and bad started for my walk while the mist yet hung over tbe canals, and while the guelder rosea nnd abrubs of the suburban gardens were still heavy witb tbe nigbt dews. The merchant set me down at tbe corner of lho slreet wbere Mr. Hansen lived, and drove on to his own town residenoe—a second floor in one of the huge old brick and timber palaces built by by-gone nobles, and now let out as lodgings. There was still an hour to spare before office hours. "By the way," said Mr. Hoyer, at part¬ ing, "if you get to tbe counting-house before me, Brooks, I wish you would speak to M. Adolphe about paring tbe money wbich I brought from Russia into into the bank. It makes me nervous lo think ofsucb an amount of specie lying in the office, though I was glad enough to consign it inlo our cashier's safe keep¬ ing when I got here yesterday evening." A minuto more, and I was at home. I touud tbe whole family wero assembled around the breakfast-table, but there was one member of our circle deficient; Mr- Charles Simpkins, hitherto the mosl punc¬ tual of mortals, was absent. Of tbis, how¬ ever, I Ibougbt little; and when, after waiting for ten minutes orso, Mr. Hansen sent one of the servants to tap at the sluggard's door, we all set down 'cheerily to tbe morning meal. Coffee and cream, cakes and fruit, the salmon from Norway, and tbe Jutland plovers' eggs began lo wane as the breakfast advanced, but my fellow clerk did not arrive to put in any claim to a share of these delica. oies. And Trudchen came back to say that sho bad knocked at the Englisb herr's door till her fingers acbc'd, but had received no reply. The door was locked, and there was no sound to indicale lhat the occupant of the chamber was stirring. Mr. Hansen pushed aside bis plate and cup. " The young Englander muat be ill," said he; "sucb sound rest cannot be nat¬ ural. I will go up stairs nt once, and— but what is this! Donner I wbat a noise!" - An awful- noise thero was, a noiso of trampling feet and shouting voices ; and in a moment more anumberof excited men came learing down the street, and began knocking at tbe merchant's door as if they would drive it in. Most ot these men, aa I could see wben I jumped from my cbair and lan to tbe window, were packers, porters, messengers, and olber persons in the employ of tbe firm; but at their head was a stout, elderly man.whoes frantic gestures gave him the air of a madman, and in whom I was amazed to recognize our staid cashier, M. Adolpbe- The ladies screamed ; and, indeed, this unexpected apparition forboded evil. Mr Hansen threw open the window, and asked what had occurred. Tbere was a hoarse shout of "Tbives ;" and then tho sturdy fellows doffed tbeir red caps, and began awkwardly to sidle and nudge one auother, evidently at a loss for words to explain wbat was amiss. But M. Adolphe, still breathless from the unwonted rapid¬ ity of his course, panted out— "Da par tous les diables. Monsieur, that tbese honeat men speak. Thieves. Yes, thieves; and of sucb infernal audacity, of | such artful cunning, that tbey have baf- i fled all my precautions, and—ab I mor- bleu 1 it is too true, M. Hansen—the cash box IS stolen." "Tbe cash bos?" asked tho merchant, half increduously; "was it not secured in tbe safe, as is the custom ? My good M- Adolphe, 1 can bardly credit " Bnt bein bia turn was interrupted by tbe ex¬ cited old clerk, who actually wept as he related how he had carefully looked the safe as usual, tbe rather because of tbe large sum of gold whioh Mr. Yovey had brought in, just as the office was about to be closed.

Adolphe had fonndwith horror dm the safe waa open, -gaping, as he expressed it, like an oyster, and; "the' mrmey; gone The porters de¬ clared that they had found tbScoiinting- honse, contrary to alf'.Itlle, unlocked.— That it had been looked the e'vaniiig be¬ fore was certain, and that the robber, whoever hewas, had let himselfln bythe aid of a skeleton tey, was manifest. It was only too evident that the large sum which Mr. Hoyer had brought bacik from Bussia, and the loss ot wbich would seri¬ ously damage the firm was gone, ai^d pro¬ bably bejond recovery. Mr. Hansen was a strong-minded, even tempered personage in general, but now he sank-down in a chair, hid his fact and groaned aloud. His wife and daughter clung fondly io him, and their whispered worda of womanly consolation lent him strength to shake off the bitterness of the pain. He rose, and managed to smile, as he hushed tbe veil-meant clamor of tbe subodirnates; and even calmed down M. Adolpbe's agitation in some degree. The latter worthy man was in a pitiable state of mind; he seemed to consider bis repu¬ tation as a Oasbier tarnished forever by tbe loss of a treasure in his keeping, tho' tbere could be no doubt that he had been as careful a custodian as any fallible mor¬ tal could be. At last a thonght struck tbe merchant. "You aay, Adolpbe, that you olosed tbe safe very late, after all the clerks bad gone home, and while the messengers were putting up the shutters and closing the doors ; was it not so ?" Yes, that bad been tbe case,M. Adolphe declared. No one waa left in bis own part of the offioe except Mr, Simpkins, who was there wben Mr. Hoyer entered wilb tbe casb, and stayed, most obligingly to copy a letter in the book. He and H. Adolphe had quitted tho ofiice together. " Ah, just so 1" aaid Mr. Hansen, thoughtfully. "And Mr, Simpkins does not take his plaoe among ua at the table, for the first time this morning. If but it is bardly possible." And the mercbant, with a darkening brow and a hasty step left tbe room and harried op stairs. Soon we heard him calling for help, for a hatchet, for a crow¬ bar, anything to burst open tbe door of tbe English clerk's room. I ran up at his summons, and our joint strength forced tbe door from its hinges. The merchant's .worst suspicions wero realized ; tbe room was empty;" The Bea liad Hot been slept in. The hird had flown, and by a natural inference, Mr. Charles Simpkins was tbe plundtrer of tbe counting-bouse, tbe rob ber of the onsh-boi. But we could hardly trust tbe evidences of our senses; tbat a young man ofsucb respectable parentage and education, the son of a vicar and neph->w of the eecond partner in tbe well- i known houso of Nunn &, Grantley, sbould have played a prank worthy of Jack Shep¬ pard, seemed scarcely credible. And we were still puzzled, too much surnrised even lo thinkof pursuit, when acarrisge rat¬ tled up to the bouse, and a young gen¬ lleman getting out of it, feebly enough, and leaning on the arm of a stout, shrewd- faced man of middle age, rang the door hell and asked for the merchant, sending in his card ; at which Mr. Hansen slared blankly, und no wonder, for th« namo inscribed on the card was "Mr. Cuaries Simpkins." Tbe wbolo trutb oame out at lust. Tbe tall, sandy-haired, awkward youngster be¬ fore us, very pale and hollow cheeked, poor lad, and with evident signs of illness in his face and gait, was the real owner of the name of Simpkins, and the real neph¬ ew ot Mr. Grantley, ot Thames street. He started weeks before, from Eogland, but on bis way to Copenhagan, bad unluckily been laken ill of a dangerous fever at Hamburg, and loo suddenly lo tiave time to write to his relatives or to Mr. Hansen. In this strait bo had been, as ho said, kindly cared for by a gentlemanly stran¬ ger, wboae acquaintance he had made two days before, on bis journey across Ger¬ many, and who had called in ft doctor and shown him considerable atlention at tho beginning of the malady. Then be had been delirious, and wben bo recov ered bis senses ho found a Sister of Char¬ ity by bis bedside, and the kind stranger was seen no more. It was not until his convalescence tbat be discovered that his desk nnd portmanteau bad been ran¬ sacked, and most of bis papers slolen, while he lay helpless and unconscious. It was easy lo gueis lhat these pnpers bad been imrloined by the stranger, whose description tallied witb tbat of tbo false Simpkins. " And to cut a long story short," broke iu tho stout man, "I'm Sergeant Bush, of the London police, and my business abroad is to apprehend tho individual that we're lalking of. A desperale ofi'end- er he is, and wanted on twenty warrants. His real name nobody knows. He was respectably bred, and more shame for him, but he usually goes by the namo of 'the Prince,'among bis pals. I don't won¬ der lhat he's gammoned you, for he's un¬ commonly well spoken ; and to aot the part of this young gent here was a clever game, after all! But let's try and catcb him, though I'm alraid it's no go." And BO it lurnad out. Two days elapsed before we could even ascertain the fact that the fictitious Mr. Simpkins bad ta¬ ken his passage to Hamburg in a small coasting sleamer, and ¦ tbat be had so timed bis flight as to embark on board the New York packet. All trace of him and bis booty was lost from tbat time forth. The loss of the large sum of mo¬ ney carried off by the imposfer was a heavy blow to Hanson & Hoycr, but tbey tided over tbe aeason of trouble, assisted, for my sake, by my own relative in Eng- lanc'. I have long been a partner in the house ot Hanson, Hoyer & Brooks, and Margaret has long been my wife. f er fon ine"."' ¦ ." . ?¦ Let's l;earl kt's hear 1"^ oried halfa dozen voices.. " We'll bear you out of it r-go on." - " I'U promise,'; said the Judge, "and treat in the bargain, if you have." " WeU, do you remember that wagon yon robbed moot?" "I never robbed you of any wagon I" exclamed the Judge; "I only got my own." "Well, Ihad made up my mind to havo it back, and——" " But you never did 1" oried the Judge. "Yes, I did, with interest, too." "How?" thundered the now enraged Judge, " Well, you aee. Judge, I sold you one day a very nice pine log, and bargained with you for a lot more. Well, that log I stole off your pile, down by your mill, the night before, and sold it to you. That night I drew it back home. and sold to you nezt day; any so I kept on until you bought your own log from me twenty? seven times I" " That's a lie 1" cried the mad judge, ruuning to a book, and examining bis leg acoounts; ". you never sold me twenty, seven logs of the same measurement." " I know it," said the vender of logs.— "For by drawing it back and forth, the .ehd-worn-off.; And as it .wore.

The exclamation of the judge was drowned in the shouts of the bystander, and tbe log-drawer found tbe door with¬ out tbe promised treat.

In the village of W lived a man who had once been tho jndge of the coun¬ ty, and wao known all over by the name of Judge L . He kept a store and saw mill, nnd was always sure to have the best of the bargain on hia side, by whicb meana he gained an ample competence, and some did not hesitate to eall him " the biggest rascal in the world." He was very conceited withal, and used to delight in bragging of his business capacity when any one was near to listen. Onerainy day, quite a number were seated around the stove in the store, and he began, as usual, to tell ot his great bargains, and wound up with— "Nobody_never cheated me, nor they can't neitber." *' Judge," aaid an old man in the com* pany, " I have cheated you more than you ever did mo." " How BO?" asked the Judgo. ADMINISTRATEIX NOTICB. Estats of loisph W. Uooro, lato of Eadibnry township, deo'd.

In this dim shadow, whero She roand tho quiot which >U tired hoarta cravo,
Now, without grief or cato, Tbe wild heca murmur, and tho hloEsoma wave.
And the forgetful air Blows heedlessly acrosa her grassy grave.
Yet, whoa aho lived on earth, Sho loved thia leafy dellj^acd know hy namo
Ail things of sylvan birth j '" Sfiairrol and bird chirped welcome, whoa sbo came:
Tet now, in careless mirth, Thoy frisk asd build and warble all the eame.
From the groat city noar. Wherein she toiled through life's inoasssnt quests
For weary year on year. Come the far voices of its deep unrest.
To touch her doad, deaf car, And surge unccboed o'er her pulseless breast.
The hjarta whieb clung to her Hare sought out other shrines, as all hearts musb
When Time, the comforter. Has worn tbeir grief out, and replaced thoir trust:
Kot eveu neglect enn stir This little handful of forgotten dust.
Grass waves, and insects hum, And then the snow blows bitterly across;
Strango footsteps go and come, Brealting tho dew-drops on tho starry moss :
, She lieth sHll ond dumb. And counts no longer aoy gain or loss.
Ah, well,—'t ia better so; Let the dnst doepen as the yeara iucreaGe;
Of her who Bleeps helow, Let tho namo porish and tbe memory cease,
Since sho has como to know That which throngh life sl.c yainly prayod for— Peace!
THE FAISK IMPEESOffATIOK, OE
MY FELLOW CLEEK.
lodRJugs in Copenhagen^ are scarce and dear, are always unfurbisbed, and mustbe taken for long terma and from particular days. Part of this inconvenience ia due -.Vo oMtom, part to absurd police regula¬ tions ; but tbe result is to make tbe Dan¬ ish capital anytbing but an agreeable place of residence for young mon of mod- lerate means. And on that nccount I had tbougbt myself exceedingly lucky in be¬ ing permitted to be a member of tbo bousehold of my employer, M. Hansen, of tbe firm of Hansen &Hojer, merchants. Hansen & Hoyer did a gref t deal of ¦business in the export trada. Tbey dealt tfitb Russia, Sweden, and Fomerania, as ¦well as witb London and Kew York; and it is wonderful in bow many commercial pies the house bad contriTcd to insert a finger, never without profit, as their boolcs could prove. I, their only English clerk —all the rest being Danes, except a mid¬ dle-aged Frenchman, who lived at the Hotel des Empereura—was theonly clerk who resided under tbe roof of the senior partner. M. Hansen was married, of courae, and his wifo was an Englisb lady. His whole family consisted of a son, Karl, and a daugbter, Margaret—"an e.xtremely pretty girl. ' As for myself, I was tben about twenty-four years of age, and had been two years at Copenhagen, whither I bad been sentmore with a view to inquire into tbe Continental method of doing business than with any reference to sala ry. Indeed, I was regarded rather as a pupil than as a 'regular employee of the firm; though Hansen & Hoyer did keep me pretty bard at work, too, what with jnvoiops, manifests and letters.
When I first beard that a new clerk, a countryman of my own, was ooming out from England to take his place at the desk and in the family circle, I was rath, er glad than otherwise. There are but few English residents at Copenhagen, and my opportunities for speaking my native tongue were scanty. The D-ines, itis true, are escellent linguists; and M. Hansen could speak very pure Englisb when he chose, but he seldom did choose; while Margaret talked Danish to please ber fa ther, of whom sbo was very fond. Karl was a thorough Scandinavian; and even Madame Hanren, though in the course of her twenty-throe years' residence in Den¬ mark she bad never been ablo to acquire the difficult pronunciation of tho north ern language, still tried bard to conform to every habit of her Imsbcnd's country. I was, tberefore, not sorry that a compa¬ triot of.my own, necessarily ignorant of Danish, was about to join us, and the ra' ther because I sbould probably find my task of the London correspondence con¬ siderably lightened thereby.
There was ono misgiving, and one only, in my mind, when I learned tbat Mr. Cbarlea Simpkins—that was the nama of the new clerk—was to be a member of the Hansen bousehold. I was somewhat ap¬ prehensive of the efi'ect which this naw comer, freah from a city which tbe Danes naturally regard as Babylon the Great, migbt produca on Margaret's imagination; for I loved Margaret dearly, and bad loved her long, and hoped that I should, when my probation was over, bear away that frasb, sweet Danish rosebud to my home. The lettOT, however, whieh M. Hansen showed me, and whioh waa written by the new comtr's unole, Mr. Grantley, of Nunn & Grantley, the old and staunch corres¬ pondents of tbe Danish bouse, reassured me immensely. Mr. Grantley made it a epeoial request tbat his nephew, for wbom ke teemed to entertain a sort of kindly contempt, ehould be kept to hard work in a manner tbat should " take the non- senie out of him." It appeired that Mr
Charles Simpkins was the son ofa clergy maninSafiTolk; tbatbe had been.some¬ what spoiled at home, as the Idol of half a dozen elder sisters and an affectionate mother; and that he bade fair to tu^n in¬ to an entirely useless member of society. His uncle adnaitted tbat be was a very good young man, amiable, gentle and well-oonduoted, though not tha genius he fancied himself; but it seemed tbat be played the flute, wrote mawkish poetry, and esteemed bimself a Byronio hero—all sins of the first magnitude in the eyes of his gruff relative, who was a bard-beaded man of business.
So the ricb uncle, to whom the Suffolk vicar and his family were under great ob¬ ligations, and of wbom tbey evidently stood in awe, bad insisted tbat his ne¬ phew should do sometbing '* to earn hia own living in a creditable way;" and as there happened to ba no vacant stool just then in the counting-bouse of Nunn & Grantley, tbe young man had baen con¬ signed to tho tutelage of Hansen & Hoyer, who wore to receive a fair premium for teaching him all tbat related to tallow, timber, methylated spirits, Biga hemp, Seeland oats and Jutland hides.
" I shall put the poor fellow under your oharge. Brooks, out of office hours ; for of course, old il. Adolphe musi; uo irn, mentor in tbe counting-house. I trust to you to see be gets into no scrapes, and to protect him against undue quizzing or practical jokes on tho part of our yoiing- sters.
Tbis was true enough; the young, Danes, many of them country-bred you ths who were seated, during oflice bonrs, at the many desks in Hansen & Hoyer's counting-house, wero inclined to be a lit¬ tle boisterous and fond of horse-play like tbeir Viking ancestors, wben the staid elder clerks wereout of the room. However, I resolved to do my best to pro¬ tect and encourage the poor feiloiv.
"The bouso frau and the demoiselle wait tea for you, sare," cried a shrill Dan¬ ish female voide, through the keyhole of my door, as I sat musing at theopen win¬ dow. " De ezer Inglis gentleman shall have come just now."
In response to good old Sophie's sum¬ mons, I hastened down to the " parlor," so called, where a tall silver samovar, one of those things whicb the richer of Copen¬ hagen residents have borrowed from their Russian neighbors, and where steaming and fragrant tea, cranberry jelly,, fresh Norway strawberries, cream—sucb as only Denm-trk and Hollatjcl profliine—with an unwonted display of cakes, fish und fowl evinced that the quiet family meal had been hastily added to for the purpose of appeasing the hunger of the fasting hew comer. Tbat new comer wns tbere, of course, in ths bigh tide of coover.5ation with botb th« ladies, rattling, chattering and producing more peals of laughter from Margaret's sweet lips tban Tliad ever heard betoro in so brief a space of lime.
"Mr. Brooks, let me introduce to you- the new member of our family circle, Mr. Cbarles Simpkins. Do, Mr. .Simplvins, try that cold fowl; we are famous for chick¬ ens in Seeland. You cannot have had anytbing to fat since you left Jutland ; and I am sure, tbougb yom are too polite to say so, tbat you must be hnlf starved," said worthy Madame H.tnsen, piling but¬ tered cake and sbort cake lavishly on ber quest's plate, while lier daughter poured out bis tea. For my part I stared at my fellow-clerk, forgetting my good manners in my curiosity, and utterly afc losa to no- count for the singular description which his uncle had been pleaeed to pen, of a nephew to whom most uncles, as it seems to me, might bavo been proud.
Instead of the clumsy, conceited, bash¬ ful hobbledehoy whom I had pictured to myself, I beheld a strapping fellow of six or seven and twenty, as I guessed, witb a flashing eye, crisp,curling, dark hair, and a handsome, merry faco ; a tbougbt reck¬ less, perhaps, but very pleasing in feature and expression. Tlie new clerk was very well dressed, ratber over jewelled, as I thought, but attired in a way that served to set off his showy person remarkably well. He had a bold, soldierly air, an ease of manner tbat I was angry with my¬ self for envying, a flow of airy, joyous tallc, and the most irresistible Kiugh I ev¬ er heprd. Tbe Hansen ladies wero not, I dare say, tbo easiest people in the world for a sli-anger to get ou with. Margaret was rathor proud and reserved, and Ma¬ dame was apt to be a little absent, ber mind running mncb on household cares and duties; while her very elTorfs to play tbe part of a Danish matron, imparted a constraint lo ber bearing. And ye"t in len minutes Mr. Simpkins had contrived lo fascinate them both.
M. Hansen was out,and Karl was spend¬ ing the evening with somo young friends of the boat club;''S0 we four were alone to¬ gether. But bad there been forly present instead of four, I do not thiik tbat the new recruit lo the counting house of Hun- sen it Hoyer would have been ab.isbed by the number of str-ingers who might be criticising his manners and address.— Througliout tbe repast he rattled gaily on, now telling us the last scrap of news social or p.litical, from London; now tell¬ ing humorous Uttle anecdotes of curious
"two years, Hr. Broofa-^tbtit's a long time; time enongh to get a good kiitjwl- edge of Denmark and ils ways. I wonder how long my unole's-fancy will keep me here? Perhaps two years, perhaps twen¬ ty! Uncles—tbat is, rich uncles—are such despots."
Ho then wont on to tell me that be had been considered, from the very cradle, as his Uncle Grantley'a adopted beir; that the first lesson impressed on his infant mind had reference to the propriety,of pleasing tho weaUhy merchant, but that by some ill-Inck he bad generally man¬ aged to give fresh offence to tbis rich and irritable relative at eaob of tho latfer's rare visits to the Suffolk parsonage.
" Bat thon," remarked Mr. Simpkins, smiling philosophically, " I am such a thoughtless fellow—f never ahall learn prudence. Sister Gerty said so when I upset the currant jelley over my uncle's white pants, some fifteen Septembers since. I very narrowly escaped being scratched out of bis will that timo, as I have beard from tbe solicitor. Always
the same- -careless, blundering "
"Poets are privileged Jo be careless," interrupted I, half maliciously, and not quite suro whether I bad not touched a tender spot, or whether my new oom. .-donjio'-* -".nnf/^r fnel embarrassed by any allusion to bis rhyming tendenoto.. He did certainly give a little start, and a vory slight look of annoyance darkened bia handsome face; butit passed Iikea sbadow from a mirror, and be Was as good humored as ever wben ho laughingly con¬ fessed tbat he liad promised Mr. Grantley not to meddle with the Muse, nor to write poetry while engaged in mercantile pursuits—"Not a line," he said, empha't- ically; and tben heaved a little sigh.
Very quickly, with his wonted tact, ho contrived to turn tbe conversation, and drew frdm me, wilh a rapidity that sur¬ prised myself, almost every detail of my ordinary life at Copenhagen, tho charac¬ ters and pursuits of the family nnd mem¬ bors of the firm, and so forth. On one sub¬ ject, and ono oniy, I was dumb. My sentiments towards Margaret, and my hope tbat tbose sentiments migbt to some degree be reciprocal, were too saored in my eyes to be made the' theme of dis¬ course with eyen the pleasantest of com¬ panions. But 1 doubt if the secret rS. mained a secret lo my fellow clerk, for there was a knowing twinkle in his bright hazel eyea as lie remarlted what a lucky fellow I ought to be esteemed in being lodged under the same roof wilh pretty I,£tt^omo;..oi]a Kansan. Howover, bis chief interest seemed to lie, strange to "say, in tbose very business details wbich 1 should have imagined would bave proved so dry and distasteful to bim. He seemed never to weary of lalking about Hansen & Hoyer, tbeir commercial connegtion, their wealth and the sources from wliich they drew it- He was quite interested in the informa¬ lion that Russian merchants commonly paid tbe balance over in hard dollars and roubles, while Germany setlled accounts with billa and notes, and Sweden prefer¬ red actual barter. He was evidently anx¬ ious to know every detail of our traffic, for whicb beacoountea thus:
" You see, Mr. Brooks, it's a motto w-itb mo, when I do a thing, to do it thorough¬ ly. It bas been settled by tbe eUers th'at I sbould ' go in,' as tbe phrase is, for com¬ merce, ..,;d I may as well see my way, and know sometbing of my new vocation.— Perhaps Unele Grantley, may relent; but if not, I mean to try and become a model clerk. I really am ashamed of keeping you up so long. Twelve o'clocic already ! Good night, ray dear sir."
And off went Mr. Charles Simpkins, leaving on mo an uncomfortable impres¬ sion to tbe effect that 1 had beon pumped dry of such information asl possessed, though for wbat reason I could by no means oonjecture.
I do not desire to dwell upon tho events of tbe next few days, during whiob Mr. Simpkins gave fresb proofs of the versatile powers with which he was endowed. Tbat be was not bullied-by the clerks it is bard, ly needful to say. Simon Bugge certainly made one or two attempts to turn tbe new comer into ridicule; but, though tba freshman spoke no Danish, bo proved such a masier of repartee in Englisb and Frenoh, lhat tbo laugh was soon tuined ag.iinst bis plumsy tormentor. And as for manual ret.iliaiion, Herr Simon bad sense enough to perceive that a gentleman who could jump tho sunk fence that skirted the warehouse, and lift tho great tabla that only Bugge and myself had ever managed, and that with much dif¬ ficulty, to upbtavc, and bend tbe oflice poker across his knee, was Hkely to be moro than a match for himself. No won¬ der that Mr. Simpkins beoame a sort of hero in the clerk's ^oom, ai auy bold, mu.=euliir fellow is sure to do; but wbat really astonished me was the ardor witb whicb be addressed bimself to business^ M. Adolpbe, theold cashier, was not usu¬ ally very partial io strangers, bnt he was loud in praiso of tbe new comer's assidui¬ ty and ability. It was wonderful, it w-as astonishing, he said, that Jfr- Simpkins, who bad nover been in a counting-house before, mastered tho details of business as
things he had observed, or odd adven¬ tures be had met-wilh on bis journey from the Suffolk parsonage to Copenha¬ gen. He made us listen, he made us laugb, whether we wished or no. And yet, such was his tact, ho never seemed unduly to monopolize the convenalion, and when most amused .ippeared least egotiBlical. No wonder tbat I looked at bim in half incredulous amazement, nnd asked myself mentally whethor thi^were really tho raw bumpkin whose protector and adviser I had been appointed by tbe head of the firm.
Quite late lhat evening there came a tap at my door, jusl as I was kicking off
he did, and displaj ed such a genius for aiitbmetic.
I was by no means so satisfied with my countryman as M. Adolphe chose to be. It was not tbat I was jealous ofhis popu¬ larity among the clerks, or that I grudged bim tho cashicr'.s good word and the ap¬ proval of hisemyloyer; butl saw witb dismay tbat Margaret, my pretty Marga. ret, between .whom and mysalf a sort of tacit engagement, pledged moro by eyes than words, had hitherto existed, was fas¬ cinated by tbis new and attractive guest. There was no use in disguising the fact.— Brilliant .Simpkins had thrown plain "Wal¬ ter Brooks inlo tbe shade; and tbougb I
j my boota, and the curly dark bair and j was jealous and mortified, I could nol but
glittering eyes of my fellow-countryman were protruded inlo lbe room.
"Beg your pardon, Mr. Brooks, mny I come in ? If youare not sleepy, and could sparo me balf an hour, I sbould enjoy a chat. Tbanks! Are tbope your cigars on tho chimney-pieec beyond tbo Prus¬ sian stove? "Will yoit try mino!" (pro¬ ducing a yellow leather oaae, full of Ha- vannas tbat a king migbt have smoked . " tbey are called Barclay's best, and Bar¬ clay vjould not deceive me."
"We smoked for some momonts in si¬ lence, my own tbougbts being busy witb tbe strange incongruities between tbe portrait of the new com«r aa traced by his undo, Mr. Grantley, of Thames street, and tbe young man bimself. 'What Mr.. Simpkins may have been thinking of I can possibly guess now, but at that time I had no sort of clue to hia meditations.— At last impkina spoke, no longer fluent¬ ly, but in sbort, measured sentences, bro. ken by whiffs of bis cigar. His, words ware fewer and bis manner graver than before; and, had I been less certain of the birth, parentage and education of my in¬ terlocutor than I was, I sbould havo said be nas fishing for information, and trying in a guarded fashion to lesrn bow matters stood with those who wero to be be bis dmly companions.
own that tho instrument was possessed of many acconipliahraents -unknbwn'to me. Tbo new olerk was a olever fellow, a sprighlly t-.dker, a good musician, singing well, playing at all games, conjuring as if be bad been apprenticed toa ju^gler,and and never being at a loss for topics of con¬ versalion. My wonder was bow such an Admirable Cricbton bad ever been reared jn a quiet country parsonage; but itis not surprising that Margaret and Madame Hansen agreed in regarding the new in- o;ate of tbeir bouso as a ph |
