BY STLVANUfi COBB, JE, The following simple narrative, tran- icribeu from the letter of a friend, mnj affoni a lesson to those who are In clined to judge hastily from Buxpicioiis appearances. The circumstances trans pired in a city not very far from Boston and many of our readers will recognize the characters whom we choose to conceal under the cover of assumed mimes. Mr. Richards, of the firm of Richards, Randolph & Co., was returning horuewarJ late at ni rht from a meeting of directors. Upon approaching his tore, which he was obliged to puss, he waa nurpriaed by the gleaming of light through the chinks of the counting room shutter. Who could be in the ollice at He crept cauthat midnight hour? tiously up, and after a long search he found a crack through which he could obtain a partial view of the interior; and he raw a man sitting at one of the desks. Upon examination, he made out the man to be the head and confidential clerk of the firm, named book-keep- Georgo Clarkson. He wienied er to be engaged in balancing accounts in a ledger, and occasionally ho made minutes upon a piece of paper clone at band. Mr, Richards gazed a long time, and when he finally turned away ho hud made up his mind that his clerk was engaged in a plot of dishonesty. On the following morning Mr. Richard asked the porter if any ono besides himself was ever allowed in the store after the doors were closed at night. The man replied that nobody was ever there except Mr. Clarkaon. Ho very often worked in the ollico until after midnight. Mr, Richards' next move was to call his partners together; and to them he told his story. "Mr. Clarkson has ever appeared honest and faithful; but we know not what temptations may be in his way." "I fear," said Mr. Randolph, sadly shaking his head, "that I liavu light upon a painful subject." And then lie told how, a few days before, bo had been near when a man, whom ho knew to bo a notorious gambler and upon, topped Ciurkson in the street. There was a short conversation between the two, and in the end tho gambler tapped the bookkeeper on the shoulder, remarking, with a laugh, "Ah, Clarkson, I ought to have bled you more freely while I had you in rny clutehos!" "Ah !" groaned Richards, "how many have fallen into that lenililo pit! It is dreadful !" Mr. Saunders, the junior member, knew tlir.t Clarkson always finished his legitimate work before night. There was bo one in (heir employ who could turn off work more rapidly, and he seldom bad his books open after four o'clock. That there was somo deeply was evident. laid And they concluded that Ihey would send Clarkson away for a time; and, whilo he was gone examine tho books and papers. $a they made up ti errand for him to a Western city, where he was to etleet a settlement of an old matter of business, and also Id establish, if possible, business relations with one or two new Jiouwes. A.detec'ivn was instructed to proceed westward In the same tralu with' him, ' and to keep him in sight and nolo ali i Lis movements. As soon as the cleric was off, the three partners took hi book sad papers in Land, and commenced a thorough search. Firt, Ihey found among his papers a sight draft for five hundred dollars on a parly in a neighboring town. The cash account showed this draft to have been paid; and why hud it not been delivered to ilia proper owner ? There was something wrong about this. Second, t'ey found in Clavkson's private desk the cash book and the order and delivery book of tho shipping elerk. This latter clerk was Frank Richards, son of the senior partner, who was then away on a week's vacation; and upon examination, they found several important alterations, in entries and footing, mado by Clarksnn's hand. A more critical investigation revealed the fact that thee same alterationsor the results thereof had been transferred to the final business record in tho ledger kept by Ciurkson. This was nMound ing! lint while they were discussing this matter a gentleman came in with a bill for collection to the amount of twelve hundred dollars. Mr. Randolph was euro the bill had been paid. At all events, the bookkeeper had rendered such an item. A reference to Clark-son'- s cash account settled the matter. The item bad been entered as paid. But tho gentleman declared that ho had not received it. Of course the bookkeeper had drawn aud appropriated it. This was enough; and a telegram was sent to Mr. Keener, the detective, instructing him to take measures for Clarkson's arrest at onoo, aud to bring him back in custody. Meantime Georgo Clarkson had proceeded to the Western city, where lie went to work in earnest for his employers. Mr. Keener was as his shadow all tho while, but he suspected nothing of it. Tlie detective marked every movement, by day and by night, even to tho going to bed and the getting up. Tho telegram came, and Mr. Keener read it and put it into his pocket, saying, as he did so ; "Not yet. There is a mistake somewhere. I've had the watching of a good many rogues, and have studied 'cm pretty thoroughly. If this young man is a rogue he beats me. lint I don't believe it. If ho starts back honest he shall go back unfettered. I won't put a black stamp on. him if he don't deserve it. Iiut I'll keep him in sight." At the expiration of two weeks Mr. Keener appeared to report. "Mr. Clarkson is in the city, and will be here very soon," he said. "Is ho under arrest V asked Richards. "Not yet, sir," replied the officer. "I think you'd Wtcr give the young ' . ... man a chance before you put the prison-stam- m T!ie Amazon. p on him." Mr. Keener had not more than time ITS RISE AMD COI.'HSE THE GREAT RIVER ASO ITS MIODl'CTS. to get out of the way before Clarksou entered.

"Good!" answered Clarkson; and he stated the results of his trip in a style and tone that made Mr. Richards and Mr. Randolph exchango glances; and they seemed to say to each other, "Surely, this man is not dishonest !" At length, ufter several vain attempts, Mr. Richards put on a DoM front, nud told Mr. Clarkson that they had been overhauling his books and papers during his absence, and hail found several things which seemed to demand explanation. First, how came that eight draft for five hundred dollars to be retained" George Clarkson could not, even then. beliovo that he had been suspected of dishonesty. lie answered promptly: "Mr. Adams, the maker of the paper, left it with me as a model, or copy, for an engraver who was to get him up some blank forms for checks and recoipts. You observed, of course, that both the signature and tho acceptance had been cancelled." "There is another thing," pursued Richards, hurrying on with theunpleas nut business; "Mr. Ransom, of Ransom & Swell, was in during your absence to collect a bill of twelve hundred dollars. Your cash book shows that the amount had been drawn and appropriated." Clarkson shook his head, smiled, and asked : "Did you look over my file of receipts?" "Mr. "No," stamoiered Richards Ransom declared that the money had not been received; so I thought " The merchant hesitated; and Clarkson turned to his desk, and look therefrom a file of neatly folded papers. "Here is the receipt," ho said, drawing forth a paper and handing it over. "Mr. Swett, when ready to start for Washington, ciimo in with a minute of their account against us, and said if I could let him have the money it would I paid him, be a great accommodation. as that bit of paper shows." 1 here was only ono thing more: "How about the alterations in the books of the shipping clerk? They are made by your band, llarkson. George's face flushed, and he hesitated. "Concerning that, Mr. Richards," he at length said, with much reluctance, "you must ask your son lie is the keeper of tho books, and cau beat explain the matter." "Would you have him called at once ?" "Certainly, sir. Since things have come to this pass he cannot blame me." So Frank Richards was called, and tho books laid open before him and the business explained. "Mercy!" lie cried. "And have yon been suspecting Mr. Clarkson of wrong in this matter ?" Frank gave a great gulp, as though swallowing a bitter draught, and then said: ."I suppose tho truth must out. You know, father, that I have always told you I was not cut out for an accountant; but you have declared that only through that, channel could I ever hope to become a member of the firm. So I held on to the books, ami Mr. Clarkson has kept them straight for me, It has been a work of pufe fovc aod friendship for me," and dovotion to you, on his pari," "And to to this he has worked here iw york mm 1870!
