L)ouht, bewihlernietit and curiosity strug- ^ gled together ou his lair, open countenance, ? jrown witli healthy exposure to sun and air, tj a his country home, [lis chesnut hair fell in raves on his shoulders, from under his broud draw hat, and his dark, hazel eyes wore a frank md generous expression, notwithstanding the lewildered air which attracted the transient faze of the passers by. Just as he was about 0 step into an open cellar, he was arrested by j , m elderly, good humored gentleman, who urued hint lightly on to the sidewalk, exclaim- !" iig, "Well, my bov, are you asleep or dream- ' "Neither, sir, I thank you," replied the lad rith spirit, 1 can't tell among so many et tores and signs to find the one 1 want." "And whose may that be?" 1,1 "A. Ritchie & to." answeredJiytiiox ""VVeJI, tluui^my lad, itJ^he^G*r<^t,tore ? ^ Thank y()u,"sir,''ans\vered'*ihe boy, grateilly. "1 shall litid it easily now." The gentleman nodded his head with a good ^ umored smile, and passed on, while the lad j oon entered the store lie had sought. ^ With a free step, yet a modest air, lie passed lireclly into the counting-room. A gentleman ^ if middle age, or somewhat less, was seated in ^ 1 large arui-chair, turned away from a table on j. iliicu were jieus and papers, and journals.? ^ V. little girl had just climbed up into ids arms, 1 i :. i.is ......a ..lid L-iiiirliimr aierril v. IIIU (Id iiio vj vg g J ^ I'liis child of eight summers. with her laughing due eyes, and dimpled, rosy checks and chin, vas the merchant's only dailing, and the pride j11 if his heart. The boy paused and gazed on 1 hat happy child, and seemed lor a moment to orget where he was. He saw not the high lesit, nor the old clerk busily plying his pen, ^ lor the fresh young smiling servant, a little in he corner, hut he only saw the frolicsome lovey child. Tears swam in his eyes and shone ,. >u their long brown lashes. He dashed them lastily away, just as the merchant giving his laughter a light spring to the lloor, looked up; . saving in a business-like, but pleasant voice . 'Well, my lad!" k There was a tremulous tone in the boy's mice, though he answered promptly, for the Memory of his departed sister was busy at his :ieart. He replied simply removing his hat, and jo wing, "1 am Philip Warrendep, sir." "You are punctual to the hour, my boy that [like. Showing yourself as faithful in all other . matters, and 1 am sure you will do well." "That I shall endeavor to do," answered | Philip, readily and resjK'cthilly. Rlr. Kitchie tl1011 p.it Philip under the care of s) one of his clerks who was to show him what ^ was expected of him, and from that time seemlid to feel that he had but little to do with him, j personally, beyond occasional order, and the , payment of his moderate salary. Philip found ^ himself thrown upon his own resources. He , engaged board for himself at the cheapest place he could find, which was also respectable.-His duties fully occupied him through the day, but his evenings were at his diposal.-- t| This to him, unguided, unaided, was perhaps a ^ questionable privilege, llis employer never of coarse invited him to his house, and though evidently pleased with the lad's docility and | usefulness, seldom took any particular notice ofhtfli. Hut the little blue eyed Minnie never j: came to the store without having some pleasant words to say to the smiling hoy who showed so much interest in her. Hut her visits b -came 4 less and less frequent and finally she was sent awav to a celebrated school to remain seve1 . I II _ * ra! years, anil tiius nulip rareiy saw uer. uer j bl ight ami heautil'ui imago remained impressed t upon bis mind; for the affections of childhood are not transient. They nro sometimes more j deep and permanent than any other. Several years rolled around, and Philip War- i render had become a young man. Handsome ] prepossessing in manner, and of excellent bu- | siness talents, which .Mr, Ritchie, himself,a man thoroughly versed in business matters, app-eci- ; atod highly, and felt to he to his advantage. Still his young clerk received hut little notice from him except in his affairs, and his salary still continued very moderate, Mr. Ritchie thinking with many others, that a thorough knowl edge of mercantile affairs is in itsdf an ample rcmuncration for years of labor. ' * " ." I .have saiil Phibp was handsome, and be was so, but to u close examiner tluro wis ofcUte something painful in the expression nif bis eye ami mouth when both at test. It[was as if something lay concealed behind the /air braw, whose''.whisperings would be beard, and whose tones of sorrowful reproach could not ue drowned with tile gayest laughter. Mr. Ritchie was not generally an acute observer of such things but for Several days be watched the countenance of Philip narrowly, though cautiously.? One day as he wi^s leaving the store, he stopped afr he came up to Philip, and with a se< rious smile requested him to. come to bis house that evening at such an hour. Whether it was the suddenness of the invitation, fco novel and unexpected, or whether there were some occult reason, the color deep?ned to crimson 011 Philip's brow, and then ro-> treating left an unwonted paleness. Mr. Ritchk took no notice of it, but merely fecommen ling him to he punctual tb.JJho hour, quietly valked away. It was evening, ami .Mr. Ritchie sat in bis ib:ary before a good cost! /ire, for it was witier. lie had a paper in his hand but he v;as 'vidently uninterested in its contents, and hough he had on hu gold spectacles, his eyes vere not profiting by them. Gradually ;in expression of deep thought mingled with doubt nd sorrow stole overy his countenance!. As, e sat thus leaning back in his comfortable chair beautiful girl came gliding in so softly thrpugh iio open door that he did not perceive her, and he regarded him for a moment tic two with ficctiouate interest, then passing lightly to his ide, bent down and kissed his forehead, saying You look very serious, dear papa?has anyling occurred to vex you?" "What I was thinking of was not \-ery pleas-, nt darling," said the fond father, smiling, laid side his glasses, and his paper, and passing,his rm round his child drew her gently to bis side. ..It - . . .1 *! "ah, papa, you nuw noi LinriK 01 unpleasant lings, for here are some silver-threads in your lack hair, and that is because you think so inch," and she smilingly pulled tbern oat and Id them up before him. Lifting her own richly clustering curls, he lid he hoped he should five to see them touch1 also, but lightly by tlie'hand of 11m?.< " 'v*. "What a strange wish, papa," answered.Min* e gaily. To want me'Ho'be gray. _"'Vni f ffllif1 ' ' *' " " J 'momont the door bell rung, and some ie was ushered into the hall. ' Run down Minnie, dear, and if it is Mr. 'arrender, bring liini to me ?and you may ave lis awhile, as 1 have some basiness to ansact" Minnie bounded gracefully dowa the broad airway, and saw a young gentleman just enling the parlor. She stepped inimeiliat?*Iy rwjird, saying, 'VIr. Warrender, papa wishes i see you in the library." The young man started and turned towards ;r, as the light of the hail lamps fell an his ui.itaMoiinn etin an IV it SO deadly Dale Itttd 80 stressed, that she doubted his identity and utred enquiringly, ".Mr. Warrender?" "I am,?yes,' answered Philip with difficulty. "This way to the library," said Minnie in a )ft voice, for the asj>ect of Warrender's eounnance troubled her greatly. Warrender followed in silence. When they ached the door, Minnie stepped nfide to let im pass in. He bowed silently ,#nd entered. I in uie immediately retired; her thoughts were mg with Philip, however, and the next day. ir once her teachers reproved her imperfect ssons. Mr. Ritchie bade Ms clerk good erening? nd raising calmly closed the door. Phillip stood still, his eyes cast down, his ountenance pallid, his lips astiy white bis hole demeanor full of humility atid self-accuition. ' jgs".Sit down, .Mr. Warrendor," and Mr. Ritliie motioned him to a chair, which Philip jokin silence, for he felt to speak was utterly oyond his power. Mr. Ritchie regarded the young mail with a tern but not angry countenance. IXis terrfle emotion evidently moved him. "I need not ask you," said he at length slowif my suspicions are true. "How long haveou been in these habits J" "Uave pity ou me!" ejaculated Philip in a tilled voice. "I have sinned deeply." "How long havoyoogone wrong?" %. "Many months." \ ? "1 have missed lately a hundred dollars. la hat the whole amount taken?" "All, but tripling sums, and a few goods taken in lime past" livery word seemed to be torture to the oung man to utter. He buried his face in his lands and tears wrung troiu his soul by anguish aid repentance rolled rapidly down between his ingers. Mr. Ritchie permitted him to weep in ilenco those scalding tears. "Tell me,"said he at length?"how this came ihout." The mildness of his tone produced a cheering 'fleet on Philin's heart, lie withdrew his mods from his lace, hut did not dare raise uis yes from the Uoor. '1 came to you an innocent boy, Sir, knowng nothing of the vice or immorality of a city, brought nj> with pious care by affectionate parents, their youngest and only remaining son. I was obliged to leave them quite young, for life had not prospered with them,and I must I edoing for myself, that I might in time do for them. Oh Sir, think of the change from that happy homo to the life 1 was to lead lieie. 1 had no friends in the city. 1 did my store duties Well and cheerfully, but where were the evenings formerly made so happy and so useful ?
