Down in that lane, in a dingy irk room in his shop. The entrance to it is 1 , rough a narrow entry, and the front window that entry he hires to placard such notices i the following: " Uncurrent money wanted." i Cash paid for old gold and silver jewelry, j, - " " V|A..A? l/vnn r\i\ irAAil iV'O ! i U. .VIVMIV) IV/'Hi */ ? " ? J o.," all of which attract many a wayward aveller's observation. Let usenter this simp, tt old man is sitting at the desk ^apparently | firing some interest which a clerk is about to j 13* hint. We know not the history of the af- ( ir, but the money broker says, "be careful and ' mid such scrapes in futnre, young man and j | ith a sudden jerk, as if afraid of encountering ( friend, he hies into the street. The old man , , ,'.\t takes an inventory of his douhloons, ? what , cuiiotis visage he has: His hair is gray and , | lort: his nose is sharp and thin ; his eyes arc | otected by a set of green goggles. He has a j larp voice, seems rather petulant, but nrode- j | ites his tones when ab?.ut to accommodate a j istoiner. He is always dressed in hodden re}-. I presume he is a bachelor; certainly j has not grown old before his time, and if 1 , le family record would not make him sixty- j re or six, I am no prophet. For years he has i , -.cupied this same shop; once it was a depot j >r lottery tickets, but the old man scouts such I | lings now. He has drawn and lost enough it to keep him even with the world. So h*? 1 ts now with his hour glass before him, and a | , >zeu or two old silver watches plc.lnrrl as i ?H-itrral. Like the sands in his hour-glass he J | ins down, and winds himself up again. He . ars the curses of inanv upon whom he has - *? 1 .1 I . .. rc^etf, bur what cares ncs mere is aiways a of new victims. All day lie is sullen and still; lie seldom! nglis, Imt now and then emits a cackle which scarcely human, Init goes for a laugh, and : tat is always with some brother in his craft, j ho understands secrets. Singularly enough, the old money broker he | line my neighbor. There was a dark gloomy | Id house, written npori it "To Let." which lunted my vision from an opposite window >r iveeks *ohruty ever came to look at it lit the same old llroker. and evidently there as a kink in his head about re-letting it at an j Ivanee. His trade brought him acquainted i ith these premises, the wholejippparance of I liich was so antique, so like himself, no won r he re ited if, reserving one low room in lire [??kt story t'? himself. I suppose it is hut fair i explain here how the llroker and I became qnainted. Upon my list of worthy heneh'cia es was a poor lone widow, for whom I proded a house ami food. It had long been mv . sire to place her near me, so yon may he ire I daily scrutinized mv neighbor's movecuts to ascertain the probabilities of my sue- , m-ding in securing a room for iny friend. I J died on liiin nn? rainy morning as I saw liini ( oiling his window-shutters. He was attired j a long flannel gown, which was once green, I it was now sadly faded, and apologizing for j t having made his toilet, he invited me in lus j ( mi. At a side table he was sipping a cup of j I flee from a cracked cup and a broken saucer; \ 1 herring lay upon n plate, and a baker's roll j ar by it. He prepared his own breakfast, ' id took a "chop" down in town for dinner. ! j e seemed gracious, and soon begged to know j I I had any p'ir!iciilur business. I made it ' ' town, and he seeined pleased at the idea of ? nting another room in this gloomy place. I \ ' cured it, and soon placd the widow within my ! ' >ion. She used to tell me queer stories about j ' e oli! lJroker. Mie said oik' day in passing 1 i stairs lie let a Mexican dollar fall, and she ' aided it to him. "That," said lie, "is some j : lit I have just been collecting for a friend. I : as going to my room to get the balance. 1 i >ver keep money about me, nor in mv room? .* is enticing to tl-icvpg- silver ami gold belong < banks; brokers only handle oilier people's ! | oney." That he was a lover of gold, howev- j , nobody could doubt. Tables of discounts | ( nig round bis room; bank note detectors were i i pictures, and Franklin's maxim liung over t s mantlepiecc?'be sure and never buya/liing \ cause it is ch'iap,' was scored and diligently idied. I The old man was brought homo one day in j carriage, and helped up stairs! Women ore t rious, I am ready to acknowledge, and I j t gued an excuse to cr.II upon the widow, and j j certain what had happened. It seems that i s had fell and dislocated his ankle ! He would j ve no physician, but somehow twitched it in j i ice nimseit, nuuuageu it, ana s:u in ms uas> i air. i V\ lion I tapped at his door, the 'come in* he i Mowed had a kind of welcome in its tone.? ! i was hoping," he said.' some one would call ! ! 10 would do me the favor to take this lev to | t landlord. I shall close the shop for some : cks, perhaps months, and it may he that I s ver shall want it again. I was thinking pre- t ?us to my accident, this room would do just i well for my customers?they will find me t v where, for want always seeks mnney, go j s icre yon will. May I beg the favor, Mrs. , j i yon to do this errand ?" 1 took the key and t ve it to William, who left it with the land. ? rd. I could not,however, fail to feel interest- t in the poor relic of humanity?a mere shred i he was?but shreds, yon know, are put in a ( bag, and by a transforming process, are s ned into clean paper ? Whoknows, thought 1 but the old Broker may bo transmuted!? s believer I paid bim a visit, T always carried tlu' newspaper. It was curious to see liiui tfin> to the Stock soles, and money interest" squares. Sometimes he would assume a pleasant expn s sion, as he read these tables?sometimes a saddened countenance. Once there was a heavy failure, and I spoke to him for the hrst time of money matters. ' Y?>u are low spirited, Mr. Plaenre," (for 1 had learned his name) "I trust no ill luck has befallen you." "None, personally," remarked he, "but distrust in a community is had?heavy failures make dangerous operations tor brokers. I nave ?anil no snipped. Pretty soon he murmured something about protested p'lfT? then he was silent. At length, he uttcrcil, "I hoped in this room to have es- ^ caped such thoughts! "Money," I remarked, "makes us very nnhappy." "Not monry, Madame, hut 'he irnnf of it. Sit down a moment?I never invite confidence ! much more in a woman, and lie drew down J his eyebrows, and gazed fully in my face. Sit down, and I will tell von a tale of your own sex." I did so, and here it is. Mr. Placare wont to his old desk, and drew forth a nn'e. It was signed hy a dashing fellow, whom I had seen in a splendid equipage. It was endorsed hy a lady. I never Item her, hut Placare said she woro diamonds! It was due to-morrow, and great was the Broker's anxiety lest it would not be paid. "That young man," said he, "lias a strange history. He is a large importer, luit he lias been htrd run, as wo say. He made his way into my shop one morning, and hy dint of coaxing and teasing, and security. I gave him two thousand doubloons; strange that I did so; but behind him stood a female, in rich attire, who seeing my hesitancy, drew forth a diamond bracelet; there, said she, is a pledge sullicient for the sum, and she tiinidlv marched up to the note and trem j hlinglv signed Funny titry. I took the brace- | let to the jeweller. Said he, it is worth twice j l)i<> mminv t'nti Iimvp It* itir?cI St>p lu?p?? if. i> "*v j .1 \ ; anil trul y rnv eyes never gazed on diamonds be- j fore. 1 have never seen the young man nor | worn n since, and to-morrow this trinket must | he redeemed." M v eves, yon may he sure, awaited the com ing of t!ie young man on the next morning. ? But lie hid not appear. Just before two o'clock, Placare hobbled out. It was the tirst time since the dislocation of Ids ankle, and 1 assure you he made but sorry work with walki:^r I did not see him return, but knew he must have done so, and with my newspaper in hand, ran over io the widow's. Scarcely hud I entered, when a tap n' the door ajioopncetl that ffsicarc wished another interview. I had now become his confidante, and was forced to hear. 'It proved worse than 1 feared,' said the Broker, 'that note was not taken up, and the young man lias sailed for Uurope. The fair endorser is here, however, and I ascertained her residence and called on her. She appeared to feign forgetluliiess of the transaction, and it was only when I drew forth t!:e I racelet. recollection came over her. I was ushered in !ior chamber, for the man in attendance said [he lady was ill, but if any business calls were i to bo attended to, she wonld see the people , there.' j V.'hat a woman met my gaze! I have read a ; loiCiiptioii wiiieli exactly corresponds with tho icrson,' and IMucuro took from his pocket this Jesoiption : 'She had thrown carelessly over her shoul- i lers a cashmere shall, the folds of which sire t fathered round her with that ravishing art, that i icr beautiful proportions were distinctly visi-1 de. A tasty morning dress was her only eov-1 'ring, and that was white as snow. Mer black resses escaped only here and there in rich coniision trotn underneath a choice Madras handkerchief, capriciously fastened round her head ii the fashion of a Creole.' 'Her bed was a scene of picturesque disorder; mil certainly her slumbers had heen uneasy i mil ngitatcd. 'J"lie draperies were cast with j liost voluptuous and bewitching negligence,; Hid l:cr pillow lay in the middle of an eider Iowij quilt of blue silk. A painter would have >aid a prize to have stood where I did.' 'On a large hocking, spread beneath the arved mahogany lion claws of her bedstead, 'littered two small white satin slippers, one hrown here and another there, as weary, feet vill do, on returning from an opera.' 'Over a chair lay a rumpl *d dress, the sleeves tanging to the floor. Spider and net stockings inch as a breath might carry avvav, were twised about the legs of an easy chair, as if flung here from the hand ? while a hoquet of flowers, 'loves, di unonds, a nosegay and belt, were icattered confusedly. There was a delicate mil scarcely perceptible ordor of aromantics n the air. A cosily fan, hall-open, lay on the nantle-piece, the drawers of the bureau were pen. This mingled luxury and carelessness? rvervthing rich an 1 elegant, yet all displaced, in pressed the mind with a sence of discom ort in tlio midst (if wealth. The lassitude herayed in the countenance of the lady, was d! in keeping with the east of attire. They teemed to tell of a heat t that was burning by ho blast of conscience; they showed us the niage of a life of show, expense and dissipaion; a tantloizing pursuit of unsubstantial plenum1.' There were some spots of unnatural r?illess upon the face of the woman that setoff he delicacy of her skin; her features looked swollen and her dark eyes heavy. Hut neverheless her folly did not lessen her beautv; such vas the energy of health and nature that glow;d in her whole frame. She was full ot life and itrcngth; nothing meagre in the contour, or coble or moan in the outline of her person, .canted the sense of admiration.' ( To be continued in our next.} Thr.
