Though not a.i>nrtiicr in the Ann, he had a pecuniary interest in its success; and as only one of the juirtners took an active part in its affairs, his position was one of great resiioiisibHity. But his motto was: *A» to the Ixinl;" and in laisincsa as well as' in his private life, he regarded himself as Ood’s si'rvnnt. Bartlett, who was aliout flfleeu years his junior, occupied a )>OHition in his establishment only second to that of the manager ; anil indeed in his absence took his phu-o. fie had been twenty years in the service of the Arm; lmd thoroughly obtained their contidemwi, and wm regankwl by them and by Mr. Matthews as a man of unimpeachable iutegrit}*; Perha|>s in the whole city you could uot have found two men whose repn tat ion was fairer and purer, or in whom more implicit confidence was placed than in James Matthews and Robert Bartlett. But while Mr. Matthews was known as a man of devout and sincere piety, insomuch that even the most godless of his fellow citi sens acknowledged that he was a a tme Christian, Robert Bartlett was known as a man of thoroughly sceptical, even infidel, principles. Ho utterly rejected the claims of diviue revelation; regarded Christ as only a Jewish teacher; and, as we have seen from his conversation, ntterly ignored the idea of sin, or of man’s need (at any rate, of his own necil) of mercy. The atone ment. of t'hrist as the means of the sinner’s reconciliation to God cx cited only contemptuouM sarciEini ; and the idea of a new heart he would have scoffoil at with hitter jest as an absurdity. Yet he was devout in his way; attended regularly once on the Sunday a small chapel where the preaching was in accordance with his own views; and having heard the preacher turn into ridicule or explain away all the “old world superstitions,” as he called them, about sin, and pardon, and atone meut, be would go to his lodgings with a feeling of great self satisfm* tiou, that he was not so foolish as to lielieve these childish fables and gloomy delusions. Thus the years rolled away. • • • • • • “1 say, Melville,” said a young clerk in the house one day to his companion, as they walked home ward, “do you know I iran’t quite make Bartlett out. It’s verv odd to * * to me if there isn’t a arrow loose there.” “What, Bartlett!” exclaimed the other, with unaffected surprise.— “Nonsense! He’s correct its the sun, and as rognlar as the tide*. Ismk at his books.” “Well, I know, but I confess I don’t think ita all square. There were some very queer things in that last alistract of account that I had to make out for our Month American agents. Couldn’t Imttotn it at all.” Then he entered Into jiarticulars, which, of course, need not be writ ten here, am! when he hail finished, the other littered a low, long whistle, and said, “Never! you don’t mean it.” “I do mean it, Melville, and 1 don’t **know what to do. It has bothered me a goral deal over since. I don’t like to say anything to Mr. Matthews aliout it, but !’m afraid there’s n good deal wrong.” Without detailing morn of Jlieir conversation, suffice it to say that the two young inen agreed to take an op{H>rtuuity of examining the accounts referred to, and to keep their eyes open for anything they inigbt see going wrong. It was with great reluctance they did so, but, besides the fact their duty to the firm demanded it, they reasonably feared that if fraud was discovered suspicion would lie cast on them or their fellow-clerks. No one would think that Bartlett was guilty. Hays and weeks passed away, and they found their worst suspicious con firmed. At last they resolved, after much hesitation, to mention the mat ter to Mr. Matthews. At first lie was utterly astounded, and seemed as if deprived of the power of speech. Then the thought came to Ids relief that these young men were mistaken, and in their well iiiteutioiied seal had laid a charge against an houorahle man, which would soon be refuted. Bo be told them lie had no doubt what seemed to them wrong wonld be easily set right, and coldly asked them to state what they wished to buve been led away by ungrounded suspicion iii this matter, 1 need not say it will lie my duty to place the matter in the hands of the firm, and to recoiiimeud them to supply your places. Tlie character of a man like Mr. Bartlett is not to lie lightly sits l*ected even.” With four and trembling, morally certain that they were right, yet fearing lest they should not he able to prove what they sUTirmcd, they luid the whole ('use liefore the man* ager. As fort after fact was stated, he felt he could no longer doubt that there was something seriously wrong, anil having farther questioned them, said, “Yon have done quite right, and 1 thank yon. I need not say to ydu, keep this poinfal mutter a stuet svivt till 1 see you again.” When they bait gone, he llowed his head on his desk, anil burst into tears. “Poor wretch,” he said to him self, “)mor, miserable, self deluded wretch.” Then tlie thought of their last conversation came to him, and of Bartlett's last sentence*. “I want justice, not merry.” Mr. Matthews found upon in vest i gation that there was a stroug case Jonah and Bible Work wliieli demanded signal and severe 1 dticed by extravagant dressing It 1 punishment on the ground of the nets as an incentive to envy, malice. ■ —— implicit confidence which ltis cm I crime, anil every evil.
