Two men Bat in tho private office of one of our largest dry goods houses, holding a lor g and confidential conversa? tion. "There is no nae talking, "Will, my mind is made np," exclaimed the younger of the two. "I om not going to bo plodding along in this hum-drum style. Why, man, this is the way my grand? father lived and acted; always keeping that careful little piece of Poor Richard wisdom directly in his mind, 'Take caro of the pence, and the pounds will take oare of themselves.'" "Did not your grand-father livo to a good old age, and leave a handsome property behind him for his heirs?" "Yes. I must say the rulo worked very well with him; yet ho deuied him? self many pleasures, that I mean to enjoy, and toiled his life long, for tho few thousands, of which ho died pos? sessed. I tell yon, Will, that sort of here-a-little and thero-a-little doctrino, bas passed away for people who are up to snuff. And to think that I have been living thus for thirty-five years, puts mo out of patience with myself.". "Well, I have lived so for forty years, and expect to continuo the same habits to the end; never doubting but that I shall make a comfortable support." "Yon astonish me, Will; a man of your business capacity and facilities to talk as you do. I wish to God I could command your means; I'd uot talk of a 'comfortable support'-nothing short of absolute independence would satisfy me. If I had your facilities, in less than five years I wouldn't give a snap for any man'e favor." "lam onrious to know, Ralph," said the elder gentleman, "how you would go about achieving so Budden an 'independ? ence. Give me a few points, and if I can avail myself of them, perhaps I may tum out a John Jacob Astor my? self some doy. Who knows?" "I see you are disposed to 6nub my opinions, - but that don't alter their utility. You doubtless pity me, Will; and, from my heart, I am euro I pity you, throwing* away such opportunities as you have. Why, my friend, don't you see that everything is ohaDged? This is no more the same world we lived in ten years ago, than if God had re? moulded the entiro fabric. Then, a careful, laborious polioy was just as ne? cessary to success as a bolder lino of notion is now. Then, it was labor; now, it ia speculation. You know that thou? sand of fortunes are won and lost in a day." *|Then the aggregate of wealth re? mains the same, and why should not you and I be the losing ones?" "BeoauBO we would be sharp euough to take care of ourselves." "Wo might encounter those who would be equally sharp, or perhaps, sharper." "I don't fear it," replied Ralph, com? placently; "I don't think I flatter my- ' self, when I say I am abundantly able to take oare of No. 1, and I mean to do it. No half measures for me. Io these days, Fortune bestows her favors with a libo ral hand on thoso who have the courage to strive for them, and tho tact and per? severance not to heed her when sho says 'no.' For my own part, I shall forthwith pay conrt to her with suoh assured auda? city, that for very shume, she cannot. L-jt smile on me." Ralph aroso and took his hat, prepara? tory to leaving, but he could not forbear ono more essay to move bis cautious friend. "Think it over, Will; givo what I havo said your unbiased consideration, and I am almost certain you will join me. Tho risk is very little-nay, I think there is no risk at all; and*be gaina will be largo. In thia one transaction, c.whwh will not affect your legitimate bowpe6S,.you will seooro a dear profit of $10,000; more than you will obtain in a whole year; through tho old legalized, channels." ..Yes, or in two years either; for, as you know, in oar brnnoh of trade, pro? fits Wore never smaller than at present. The merchant who saves himself this year will do well." "And you cnn bo content to ineroly savo yourself, when you might have nny of tho golden prizes that speculation holds out to tho adventurous?" . 'I dare say, those golden prizes do not look half so bright to mo os they do to you; for I seo them only uuder tho sha? dow of that dork cloud, marked-'Fi nancial Ruin,' that ever overhangs tho haunts of speculation." "Good-bye, Will. Think it over nuy how, old fellow; maybe you'll chango your mind, after all." "Success to you, Ralph. You have taken, as ouo may say, tho express train to the land of nQlue?ce; let mo beg of you, if your velocity permits, to glauco at tho milo stones on your route, and read tho inscriptions thereon, such as .Ho that hnsteth to bo rich, shall not bo iuuoceut.' 'He that lovcth silver, shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase. ' " "Thank you," said Ralph, smiling good-humoredly; "let mo apply your ((notation by li tushing tho verse: %Tllia is also vanity.' " With a pleasant smilo for Ralph's bright, sanguine disposition always chal? lenged that, William Arnold saw his friend depart; but his heart was uot at ease. Speculation! That treacherous sen which had engulfed BO many! Would Ralph tempt it? Yea, verily. Secure iu his strength and skill, ho was cugci to try its stormy waters, utterly forget? ting how many noblo wrecks slept fathoms below. Ralph Somers was the son of a well to-do merchant, who, by close attention to business, and careful, frugal habits, had brought up and educated a largt family. As each of his children mar? ried, ho gavo a portion, sufiicieut foi present competence, and a means ol futuro independence. Ho carried hit business intact through the civil war, and dying soon after, left it to Ralph, his youngest child, who stands before you, reader, an ex-Confederato officer, nud a prosperous, but discontented mer? chant, thirty-five years old, and hand somo withal. Just beforo tho com mencement of tho war, he had married t young lady of great beauty and amiabili ty, whoso supreme aim had eveu beon tc make his homo pleasant, and himscl: happy. She had succeeded so far, tba1 he was as happy os a woman could muk? him; but business men have a life out side of the homo circle, and in that life he had grown restless and discontented at the slow sales and small profite. H? fretted himself into a state of minc which is ready to grasp at any hazard that promises speedy and abundan riches. He told himself his reason fo; desiring wealth, was to placo his fain i b above tho reach of possiblo mischance but tho true causo was, speculation wai theu rampant, ns it is during, and fo: some time after, all wars, and he sav men rising from obscurity to places o seemingly greater prosperity than tba occupied by himself. This his ainbi tious naturo could not brook. There was about town a mau of appa rently large means, though whero hil meiiMH were, no ono had any defiuih kuowledge. Ho dressed haudsomely lived profusoly, was always full-handed talked contemptuously of tho pnltr sum of a million, and was universal!; considered a rich man. Ho was presi dcut or director of some half dozei stock companies, mutual or otherwise and his friendly uotice was an honor no conferred on every one; therefore, tin moro felt by those whom he, in his con desconsion, singled ont to bo the resci pients of it. Latterly ho had distin guished Ralph Somers, by many token of his favor. His handsome earring was often seen before Ralph's door, am Ralph was often seen in it, as it proudl; swept around the public drive. This mau, Weldon was his name, wa coucoctiug a grand project for makin money. The names of the old ring wei somewhat worn, and ho wanted som uew ones to grace and strengthen hi new and darling scheme. Ralph Somer was known to be a solid man, sober, ul tent ive to business, and not burdeue with debt. His uame carried consider* bio weight in the commuuity, aud hi eager, ambitious disposition, made bil a ready tool of deeper and more desigi ing men. Weldon's great plan was for tho d< velopment of some homo enterprise, ant consequently, becamo immensely popt Inr. Tho company was organized, stoc issued, and the achene became a verity Ralph had been fascinated from tho firs Weldon had talked him into thesmootl est groove of ready made fortunes; an he felt that his independence was a aured. Ho took and paid for sever thousand dollars worth of stock, aud fe himself fortunato to get it, as Weldoi who had been elected President of tl concern, declared there would bo but limited amount issued. Tho withdraw of so much money from his bnsincs would havo crippled him seriously, hu ho not boon enabled to borrow for pr sent deficiencies. He had been comm'ssioned by tl President to endeaver to draw hisfriem William Arnold, into tho scheme, but 1 failed in tho attempt. Meantime, no withstanding, the company was orga ized, tho shares taken and paid up, house rentod and prepared. The Gradit and Fertilizing Company did not opt for business; and when people began talk, a little above their breath, abouti vestigation, they suddenly awoke to tl truth, that the President and Ooshi had not boen seen, tho former for tv days, and the latter, for the last twont four hours. They had mysteriously d: appeared, evaporated but of tho com mu oily, and with them went two hundred thousand dollars of the people's money; besides some fruitful gleanings from other fields, ?wherein the worthy PreaK dent had had the range. Of all the victims, Ralph Somers was the heaviest loser, pecuniarily and other wise, for his faith in human integrity was gone forever. After tho audacious piece of villainy had transpired, and its disastrous results become known, Ralph called ou his friend Arnold, from whom ho had borrowed money to keep his pa? per nfloat, while Weldon's grand project was making such heavy drains ou his purse. Very gloomy was tho face that looked into Arnold's counting room, that October morning, two days after the ele? gant sign of tho unfortunate Grading aud Fertilizing Compuuy was takeu down aud cousigucd to obscurity. "Good morning, Ralph. Walk in. I am glad to seo you," was th?} cheerful greeting of Arnold. "I eau hardly say tho same," replied tho other, bitterly; "for I eau moko no provision for the live thousand dollars that I was to repay to you to-day 1" "Well, I will have to get on without it," was tho philosophical answer. "For? tunately, I am not pressed for money, at present. But, tell me about that unfor? tunate speculation. Things aro uot so bad, I hope, as rumor has them." "They couldn't well bo worse. I seo nothing but ruin before me, unless I eau avert it by some moro fortuuato transac? tion." "What do you mean, Ralph?" asked his friend, iu alarm. "Havo you uot had enough of speculation?" "No," answered Ralph, sharply. "That cursed affair has taught mo how those things aro done, aud I would bo worse thau a fool, not to profit by tho lessou. Just bo patient with me, Will, aud you shall have every cent of your money back." "1 am not uneasy about my motley, but I am about my friend. For God's sake, Ralph, givo over speculation. Pa? tient industry will retrieve your losses and lead to final success. Let these sud? den fortunes alone; they aro almost in? variably sham ones, with 110 stability, and Hubie at any timo to a destructivo crash. Write on your banucr-'Festina lente,' and throw it to the breeze, from tho loftiest point of your establishment. Work up to it, and my word for your success." "No musty Latin, or slow advances for me," replied Ralph, impatiently; "hav? ing seen how money may bo lost, I am now determined to try how it may be won." And so tho friends parted. Ralph en? tered recklessly into his new career, aud by successful outside operations was soon enabled to right his disordered finances. But old established houses began to grow somewhat shy of him, and demand? ed cash, where they had formerly given one, three or six months' timo, ns best suited their customer. This incensed him, and his business relations became unpleasant. Moreover, his uniform suc? cess iu his smaller speculations led him to neglect his legitimate affairs, nod look to these outside transactions for a more generous income. As he had said, ho had learned how those things were done, and with all his acquirements, he had learned something of the finesse&n? dis? honesty of the modus operandi, which ho did not hesitate to practice. The con? sequence was, ho made himself obnox? ious, not only to his friends, but to tho better class of citizens generally; there? fore, he determined to wind up his com? mercial relations aud remove to a distant city. Here, ho made quito a name by his successful oporatious. He grew rich, us if by magic, bought a magnificent house, and lived in great style. If this had sa? tisfied him, all might havo been well; but ho pushed his good fortune to the extre? mity, aud she went over to the other side. Ho took up tho desperate hazard of resurrecting a defunct organization, aud putting a little galvanized lifo into its broken dowu stocks. But hero ho had to deal with meu fully os sharp as him? self; and in the course of putting thc conceru on its legs again, ho was de? tected in some nefarious proceedings that led to his arrest for swindling. He was tried, convicted and seutenced to two years hard labor in tho peniten? tiary. This calamity fell with crushing force on his loving and high-minded wifo. She never held up her head again, but gradually faded out of tho lifo that had once been so bright and full of promise to her. The warder at tho prison used to bow instinctively with a deeper reve? rence to tho white faced woman, who crept ia every day, aud asked permission to speak to No. 322. It was long before she could ask it, without that choking sensation iu her throat aud that blind? ing mist before her eyes; but as thc world and its mortal associations faded from her memory, her coming was more like an angel visitant to that dark nod moody captivo. And when, ero tho first year had expired, abo was translated tc that land where trouble never enters she doubtless carno daily and nightly, in spite of warder nut! keys, to minister tc him, who, in bitter shame, was working out tho hurd sentence of tho law. Ono day, about a year after Ralph's incarc?ration, ho heard two officials neat him talkiug of an old offender, who wai to bo brought in the next day, ami assigned to tho coll adjoining his own, Tho man's case touched Ralph's sympa thy, for it was similar to his-aman whe had preyed upon the world, uutil th? world, to be rid of him, had shaken bia into that dreary hole, there to end bi? miserable days. Ralph looked forward with the deopes interest to the coming of his fellow captive; bnt when he met him face tc face ho staggered like a drunken man for. notwithstanding his shaven beac ami prison garb, ho instantly recognizec his old acquaintance, Mr. Weldon.
