It was an elderly woman, upon whose brow care had furrowed many * wrinkle. She was dressed in home? ly garments, and the straggle between pennry and neatness whioh they evinced would have been an interest? ing stndy for a philosopher. Her eyes were red, as thongh she had been weeping; and when she seated herself by my desk, the pont up our? lent of grief bnrst afresh. "What is the matter, my good wo? man? Yon seem to be in deep dis? tress," I remarked, in the most en? couraging tone I could command. "I ?rn, sir. They say the Lord ia near to them that arc suffering, and I am sure he ought to be near me." "I tiaro say ho ie, ma'am. But yon know that afflictions are sent to us for our good, and we ought never re? pine at the discipline of life, how? ever severe it may sometimes soom to ns. I had heard an excellent sermon the day before, for it was Monday, on tribulation, and I was just in tho frame of mind for giving others moro excellent advice, which, perhaps, I should have been very unwilling to follow, if the dark waves of trouble had rolled over me. "I try to bear it as well as I eau," she replied, wiping away her tears with tbe corner of her apron. "I don't know as I am acquainted with yon, ma'am," I suggested, for the purpose of changing the topic and bringing her to business. "I don't know as yon are," she re? plied; and she proceeded to give me a very long and very succinct account of her prerions history, beginning back some forty years, wheu she was born among the White Mountains in New Hampshire. I tried to check her, but it was no nae. I was as patient as the case would admit, and mindful of the duty we owe to the weak, the infirm and the ignorant; but my patience was sorely tried. I will not punish the reader with the long, fine-spun story she told me, for a few lines will suffice to inform him of the material facts. She was a widow, her name was Marche. She had an only son, Philip, who was employed in an in? surance office, and received three dol? lars a week for his services. He was a good boy and loved his mother, as he should. Upon their united earn? ings thoy lived very comfortably in an obscure street, where they hired two rooms. MM. Marcile's catalogue of her son's virtues was certainly very edifying. He never spent a cent upon himself, nover went out nights, nne. attended church forenoon and afternoon. An evil day had come. On the Saturday three weeks preceding, Mr. Carman, the President of the in? surance company, as he declared, had sent Philip with a valuable diamond ring to the jeweler's, to have the stone reset. On inquiry the ring was found not to Lave reached its destination. The jeweler had never seen it. To make the case moro complicated, the boy denied having received the ring. Mr. Carman had never sent him on any such errand. The boy had boen arrested on charge o? stealing the ring, and was now confined in jail. Mr. Carman was ready to swear he delivered the valuable artiolo into the hands of the boy, with explicit directions as to where he should carry it and what should be done with it. It looked like a bad case. The poor woman was in the saddest dis? tress. Sho waa sure that her darling boy would not steal. I pitied her and promised to do what I could for her son. When ?he had gone, I called upon Mr. Carman. I found that he was ono of those dogmatic old fellows, who are never in a wrong, who find it impossible to err, even by design, or to moko a mistake. I tried to argue the point with him, but he wonld not Bay much. Ho told me tho story; was miro he sent the boy and nobody else. I ventured to snggost that he might havo been mistaken; that ho had sent the ring by some other per \ : "Ho you take mo for a simpleton, sir? Do you think I don't .know what I am about?" he exclaimed, be? stowing Upon mo a look of withering contempt. "I Bent the ring with the boy, sir. Tho boy has stolen it. Nothing more need be said/ sir." And he turned to the newspaper he had been reading. 1 I was not mnoh pleased with the interview. I was highly vexed at the haughty boariug of the fellow; and I confess that my pique rendered mo ten-fold moro zealous in my endea? vors to clear roy youthful client I visited Philip at the jail. He was very sad on his mother's account; on his own he seemed not to tare. A moro frank, open-hearted boy I never saw. He told his story; though I questioned him him pretty severely, ho was consistent to the last. I made the case my own, and work? ed unceasingly, as it seemed to me then, for tho overthrow of thc haughty President of the insurance compa? ny, as much as for the salvation of tho widow and her interesting son. I visited more than a dozen jewelry shops- that afternoon and the next morning; with what result the reader shall learn in the details of the trinl, which came on the next day. Philip was duly arraigned, and his poor mother sat by his side, weeping and sobbing like a child as tho caoo proceeded. Mr. Carman, with majestic dignity, stepped upon the stand. He told the story I have before detailed, and wao turned over to me for cross-examina? tion. I could see that he was nettled, for he certainly could seo no mercy in my face. "Mr. Carman, are yon willing to swear that you gave tho ring to this boy?" i. "Certainly I am," he replied, vexed and angry, for he had answered the same question a dozen times in the course of the cross-examination. '.'I beg your honor to notice par? ticularly the words of this witness," I remarked to tho Court. His Honor testified readily that he had noticed thom, as a matter of course; ho had them in his minutes; and ho rather snubbed me for press? ing so respectable a witness in so se? vere a manner. "Now, Mr. Carman, may I beg you to examine this ring?" and I banded him the one he bad lost. "It is mine," he replied, with ovi dent astonishment. "You-identify the ring, do von, sir?" "I do." "That is all, sir. May it please your Honor, I shall bring but ono witness for the defence. Will Mr. Graham take the stand?" Mr. Qrabam took the stand. I showed him tho ring. "Have you over seen this ring bo fore?" "I have." "State to the Court what you know about it." Mr. Qrabam proceeded to state that he was a jeweler; that the ring was left at his shop three weeks before, by an elderly gentleman, to have the stone reset. "Is the gentleman in the court room?" I asked. "He is; there ho sits;" and he point? ed to Mr. Carman. The Court was astonished; the of? ficers wore astonished; and Mr. Car? man was overwhelmed with confusion. He acknowledged his error when there was no possibility of concealing it. He asked to correct his testimny, and did so. Mr. Carman was a very absent? minded man; and the .solution of the whole matter is, that he forgot all the cir3urnstuuees conuected with the ring. He intended to have sent Philip to tho jeweler's with it, and actually called him for that purpose, but his attention was attracted to something else, and he thought no more about it. On his way home to dinner, whilo his mind was absorbed by an important business operation, ho had left the ring at Mr. Graham's. The impression that he had given tho ring to Philip was fastened upon his mind. He remembered the fact of calling him, and his intention be? came a reality. When thus cornered he amused tho judges with severa, other instances of absent-mindedness of which he had been guilty, in this manner explain? ing the mistake he had made. I must do him the justice to say that he made Phillip ampio amends in the shape of r* hundred doiior bill for the trouble he bad caused him; but I believe that Mr. Carman hated me to tho day of his death. I can only say I should not have puuished him so sovorely if he had treated me like a gentleman. FISHER & LOWRANCE. COLUMBIA. ?. C.
