44 All right; got ft new clerk."
41 Got ? new clerk, eh I Where
is Jones!"'
44 Discharged him. An idle,
extravagant, imprudent young
dog 1"
" Trnc enough, and the new one
won't be any better. Drinking,
gambling, late hourst and fast
horses --that's the wny with 'em
all."
And Smith groaned.?
Jenkins' eye twinkled. lie
well know the peculiarities of his
fjood hearted but eccentric bachc-<
or partner.
44 Well, the new clerk don't
drink nor gamble. I'm certain of
that, and has thus far been very
industrious and attentive."
"Thus far 1 O, yea. Wait a
month. Now brooms sweep
clean."
44 Oh, well, if the new^ clerk
don't suit }*on, yon can send the
new clerk adrift, that's nil. I only
took her?ah'in 1 the new clerk
on trial."
Mr. Smith stared at his partner.
141 supp' so the new clerk has n
name?" ho remarked, dryly.
44 Oh, yes. Ilor, that is to say,
the new e'erk's name is Gardner.
But. here we are.'-'
As was his usual custom. Mr.
Smith went through tho store,
pasting the array of clerks on either
side of the counter, without
glancing to the right or left. But
when ho roAched his private office,
at the further end, ho looked
through tho glass door, which wns
so situated that he could see all that
was going on in the store.
llis eye fell on tho occupant of
ft .tfslc t lift HiVII* lift Ofni>?oit ?
joo ere not shited, all yon re arot
to do it to toll her ?o.M
^ "Toured her.'1
: <"V
44 What's that!" he said, turning
sharply upon his partner, who had
/olh.wed him.
Jenkins gnzcd very composedly
upon tho slender form, whose
graceful head was bent intently
over a ledger that lay open ujwn
the desk.
"That! Why that's the new
clerk."
Smith rubbed his eyes and look
cd again.
"Why, it's a woman 1" he exclaimed,
with an air of incredulity
,nnd horror.
441 should say It was," said Jenkins,
coolly, 44 and a confounded
pretty one at that."
Smith gave his partner a look of
virtuous indignation.
44 Mr. Jenkins, this is no place
for a woman."
"Think not? Now it strikes
me that she suits tho place very
neatlv."
44 Tho proper place for a woman
is in the sanctuary of home."
This was a pet observation of
Mr. Smith's which he hal read
somewhere, and which he considered
as a clincher in such an argument.
44 But suppose she hasn't any ?*'
That was a poser, and, in his efforts
to surmount it, Mr. Smith
got cxcitod.
44 Hasn't any ! Why, sir, aho
mint?sho ought to have one."
it yCyy true. In fact so confi
dent am I on that point, that I
ha vo some thoughts of offering you
mine? or, at least, to share it with
her."
44 Mr. Jenkins, this is not a tit
subject for jest."
44 It's a aorions matter, I know ;
so, on the whole perhaps I'd bettor
think it over awhile longor.?
Besides, there's no knowing if alio
would accept my offer together
with the encumbrance that goes
with it."
44 Jonkins," returned Smith, severely,
14 will yon cease trifling ar.d
attend to the business in hand ?
This woman must go."
."Very well; youMold me you
wanted a clerk that would be faithful
and industrious: that didn't
spfend his salary, and all he could
steal, on fast horses and faster woman
; and 1 got yon one. It's an
easy matter to send ber off.'4
44 Of conree it is," rejoined
Smith, brightening at the suggestion.
44 Just tell her she don^ ex
actly snit, and that we shan't need
her after to-day."
flk. 46 Bat she does snit?me and if
?..,.v> !> < > iuij i vunuii jl
; won't discharge her without some
, good canse."
44 No matter." returned Smith,
with an air of lofty indiffercnco.?
' 441 can discharge her. I think I
am equal to that mnch."
i Jottkins, who had left the room,
put his head hack a moment'later.
I 44 Bot you a hundred dollars you
don't do it.
With this parting shot he disappeared.
Now Smith had a nervous lior-,
ror of women, as his partner >yell
knew?especially of young women
?and never spoke to one if he
could help it.
llad it been a man he would
know what to say, and experienced
no difficulty in saying it, hut a woman
was qnito another thing.
But his partner's last words had
touched his pride, and summoning
all his resolutions, he opened the
door and walk out.
But his courago failed him as ho
came opposite tFjo desk where she
6at, and he passed by, glancing
sideways at tho unconscious occupant,
who did not lift her head at
his approach.
Alter speaking to ft elcr]i at the
further end of tho room, he walked
slowly back to where the young
lady sat, and who as lie paused by
tho desk, raised a pair ot soft blue
eyes shooting a 6wift bewildering
glance in Smith's that he felt to the
toes of bis boots.
41 Miss?Miss"?bo stammered.
44 My name is Georgiana," said
tho young lady, smiling. " Some
call mo George, for short."
44 Well, Miss George?Georgiana,
I'm afraid that von will find
your situation unpleasant."
44 Not at all, sir. On the contrary,
I find it very pleasant and
comfortable."
44 AJ?ein, but I fear that yon will
be hardly equal to the discharge
of its duties." *
"I hope not. If yoif %ill rnn
^*our eyes over the balance sheot,
you will find everything correct."
With desperate hope that there
would be something amiss, Smith
did so. but was disappointed.
441 hopo you have no fault to
find ?" said the clerk, rather anxiously,
on perceiving that he hesitated.
44 You are a woman."
There, whether abashed by the
sudden display of dimples in the
pink checks, that grew still more
pink at his rather unnecessary as
eertion, Smith came to an abrupt
pause.
At this the smiling faco sottlod
into an expression of demure gravity.
441 must plead guilty to the
charge of being a woman. Hut
though it may bo misfortune, it can
scarcely be called a fault; at an}'
rate, it is o* e for which I am not
answerable 1"
44 You understand mc, ma'am.
What I meant to say was, that there
aro certain duties connected with
your olllce, such as opening tli?
store, going to the post office, etc.,
which you cannot vory well perform."
441 nssuro yon, sir, that I shall j
like nothimr liAttio* thn.ii mi nnfn. I
e?
siomit walk in tlio open air- And
as to opening the store, and sweeping
and dusting, I don't know
that it should bo harder to per
toriri that ofiice for a store than
for a house."
"I claim no consideration for
my f?ex," resumed the young lady,
casting a slightly reproachful
glance at the perplexed countenance
of her employer, " but I ask
in common justice, if I perform
tny duties satisfactorily, that you
will not Uisoharge mo simply because
I aw a woman."
Mnttering a disclaimer of some
kind, ho hardly know what, Smith
boat a sudden retreat to bis own
room, assuming a bold look as lie
met his partner's inquiring eye,
but with an inward consciousness
that he had been totally routed by
the enemy.
"Going?" said Jenkins, with
provoking noti chalanccr.
" WttH nA h* /!? ? \\7!.?t

the d?1 aro you grinning at ?"
44 O, nothing?nothing at all,"
responded Jonkins, throwing himself
back in his c air, and regard
ing intently a fly upon the ceiling.
41 What I was going to remark
was," resumed Smith with quite an'
unnecessary assumption of dignity
44that ] have concluded to let the
yonng lady remain until I can find
some situation for her more in accordance
with her sex."
44 Vor>*kind and considerate in
yon." said Jenkins, dryly, 44 especially
taking into view that she
does lier work better than any
clerk we over had, and for Jess
pay, too."
Smith was by no means tbo
ogre he seemed. Aside from his
prejudice, ho was a sensible, kindhearted
man. Gcorgiana was not
i
cauea upon to opon tbe store or
run errands, though she offered to
do both.
Curious to relate, as days and
weeks passed, Smith's repugnance
to her presence not only vanished
with them but he began to regard
it as a positive pleasure.
lie used often to look
through the glass door, watching
the graceful poise of the head and
the motions of the deft little fingers
as they glided over the paper,
, until at last curious fancies seonio
ed to creep through his brain, and
ho began to indulge in glowing
dreams of how wonderfully such a
little woman as that would brighten
upon his lonely and cheerless
home.
But ho determined to proceed
cautiously. lie had it. Ilis houses

Having funned this resolution,
lua next step was to request the
young lady's presence in his private
oflice, a summons that was promptly
obeyed.
" Miss Gardner, don't yon think
the situation of housekeeping in a
quiet home, like mine for instance,
! would be preferable to your situation
here ?"
" Perhaps, in some respects it
might," said Georgians, coloring
at this abrupt inquiry, and the look
that accompanied it.
Was the old gentleman about to
make her an offer ?
Hut his next word relieved her
of this apprehension.
M Aly housekeeper is soon to
leave me, and I should bo very
glad to hftvo you supply her
place."
Georgiana's cheeks grew rod,
and her month dimpled with
smiles that she strove vainly to
suppress.
* You are very kind, sir, but
the fact ig, Mr. Jenkins has spoken
to me first."
44 Mr. Jenkins ?"
M Yce, sir. lie asked me to bo \
liis housekeeper, and 1 told him
that I would." *
44 lint, my child, Mr. Jenkins is
a young man?it would not he
proper for you to keep house for
liiin. Now with me* it is different."
As Georgiana inwardly agreed
[ with liiin, in fact, there was all difference
in tho world to her.
' 44 lint he asked mo to he his wife
as well as housekeeper."
44 O o-o-h I"
Smith's first feeling was that of
instensc astonishment, his next, of
quite as strong chagrin, llut it all
ended in an emotion of thankfulness
that he had not committed
himself.
But his disappointment could
not have rankled very deeply, for
he attended tho wedding; viewing
with smiling tranquiltiy, the ceremony
that transformed his* new
clerk into tho happy wife of his
'fortunato partner, Jenkins.

An $800,000 Diamond?It InvolyeM
a Law-suit?History of the Dia l
mond.
. A dispatch ln*t night from our
correspondent " Morgan," in Jacksonville,
announces tfcat a suit, in volving
probably nearly a million
of dollars, was commenced yesterday
in the Morgan county Circuit
court, by Rebecca \V. Vail, Wil
liain II. Carson, Nancy Roe, Mary
Baker and eight others, against Kit
ty Flynn, Thomas M. Carson,
Thomas Roe and fourteon othres.
The bill alleges that on a day
too remote to be mentioned with
certainty, but about one hundred
years ago, ono William Roe, of
the State of Virginia, became pos
scsscd by discovery of a certain
gem or precious stone, remarkable
tor its hardness and brilliancy,
and so far as has been tested, its
characteristics are those of a diamond
of the first water; that this
precious stone is oval in shape,
and about, one and a half inc tea
in diameter the other way, and
that it is of great value, viz., ?300,000
; that said stone is now in the
hands of Thomas M. Carson, of
Jacksonville. The plantiffs in this
great suit pray that the defendants J
bo compelled to bring inp) court
the pne'rons stone, and that a receiver
be appointed by the court
to sell said diamond and distrib?
uto tho proceds among the heirs.
Mr. Thomas M. Carson, of this
city, a plastorer and bricklayar, is
heir to one-sixth part, of this diamond
of a-leged almost fabulous
val nc. *
The character and immense valuo
of this precious stono, as we
are informed, was but recently
known, although it has been in
possession of William Roe and
iieira for over a hundred years.?
If a decree of the court bo obtained
according to tho prayer of the
plantifl's in tho case, that a rcceiv
er be appointed to take char go of
the stone and and sell it, doubtless
lit) actual value will then l>e ascertained.
If it really be a diamond
of the first water, as all tests heretofore
applied indicate, it will
probably find .a purchaser among
tho crowned heads of Europo.?

A Beautiful Demon.
In going through the parish pris
on a lew days since, the attention
of the reporter was attracted to a
young girl, apparently not more
tlmn fifteen Jearsot age. She had
fair nut brown hair, and a complexion
fresh and white as milk.
The mild blue eyes were singular*
ly soft nnd intelligent, and her
whole appearance indicated the
free, joyous characteristics of youth
nnd happiness. Yet this ntninblo
looking creature, this fair, delicate
Minerva, of slender form and injetinous
face, is said to be a devil
incarnate. She was not a prisoner,
only a visitor to tho institution,
and when tho reporter saw her
she was conversing with a noted
burglar ; indeed she snvs she is a
cousin of Pete Monday's, and g<?03
tinder tho sobriquet of Lily. She
is almost as fair and delicate as one.
Her career is a remarkable sot
ies of adventures and hair-breadth
escapes. About a year ago she
lived in San Antonio, Texas, nnd
for some real or fancied misconduct
reooivod a severe castigation
at the hands of tho man with
whom she was living.
Burning with resentment, nnd
conscious of her inability to cope
with liitn in physical strength, 6he
waited until the next night, when
lie was aslccj\, and then locking the
doors of the roCtn and closing every
avcnuo of escape, she prepared
for a work of horror almost i in possible
to conceive. On one pretext
or another 6ho sent all the in
mates of the houso aw a}*, and procuring
paper and other inflammable
material, built a funeral pyre
around the bed of tho sleeping
man. This done, t?he set fire to it,
and locking the door behind her fled
from the house. The man woke up
when tho houso was full of flames,
and in escaping from tho room
was literally roastod. One side of
his body was burned almost to a
cinder. lie has never recovered
from I.is injuries, and is to day a
fltopeless invalid, suffering excruciating
torture and continual an
^Lish. His generosity?perhaps,
sense of atonement?prevented
his prosecuting tho girl, and
she made her escape to New Orleans.

Names of PaperPrinters
are sometimes asked
why various kinds ot paper obtained
the peculiar names they bear.
Ilcre is the reason: In ancient
times, when comparatively tew
people could read, pictures of every
kind were much in use where
writing would now be employed.
Every shop, lor instance, had its
sign, as well as every public house;
and those signs, were not then, as
they often are now, only painted
upon a board, but were invariably
actual models of the thing which
tho sign ox pressed?as ^'o still oc- ]
casionally sec some such sign as a
beehive, a tea canister, or a doll,
and tho hke. For the same reason,'printors
employ some device.
which they put upr.n the title page
and at tho ond of their bo.ks.?
Ami papormalcoru also introduced
marks by way of distinguishing
the paper of their manufacture
from that of others ; which marks
becoming common, naturally gave
their names to different sorts of
paper. A favorite paper mark
botweon 1540 and 15G0 was a jug
or pot, ami would appear to have
originated the term " pot paper."
Tho foolscap was a later device.
ai*J does not appear to havo been
nearly of such long continuance as
the former. It has given place to
the figure of Britannia, or that of
a lion rampant supporting iho cap
of liberty on a pole. The name,
however; has continued, and we
still denominate paper of a particular
size by the title of44 foolsqac,"

was a prominent litterateur when
