THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
LOVE'S LABOR ,LOST.
It is now some two or three years
since a younggentlenaan entered
the office of a spacial agent of the
Post , Offiee Department in one of
our large dties, and annouaced that
he had a serious case of maii,.depre-•
dation to report, which .he would
like to have investigated immediate-
,
ly. Being- requested to give •the
pa.rticularee:)f the matter, he produc-
ed from his pocketa letter addressed
to himself, and postmarked with the
name of a small town in the Stateof
Pennsylvania., The envelope bore
most unmistakable evidence of hay-
ing
been, opened and resealed, and
the address was in `a lady's hand-
writing.
There sir," said he, carefully re-
moving the leAer, aid handing the
envelope to the agent for inspection,
that ere letter's been robbed by
some post-offiee thief of $26. t Now,
want you to catch him and. put the
• screws to him—give him ten years
- at least. I don't care for the loss of
the money, (it is singular, by the
way, how sublimely indifferent to:
pecuniary considerations most peo-
ple to e who prefer th,!sepornplaints,)
but I'cl like to see the rascal
caught." -
. Now the agent, having had con-
siderable previous experience -in the
investigation of cases of rifling, was
Cinite sensible that a very necessary
preliminary to such investigations
wad a thorough knowledge of all the
eircurnstances connected with the aft
fair, and after attentively examining
the envelope, which was liberally
bedaubed with mucilage,he �b
served:
"Well, sir, I will take a memo-
ra.ndurn of rori-r statement, and if it
-proves to be a post -office thief,' as
-you say--"
you know I haven." -t the pleasure of
the young lady's acquaintance.' By
the way, how long have you known
hera-aa long tiine, I presume ?"
The young gentreman's embarrass-
ment was visibly increased, as he re-
plied.- " about six months,"
"Met her inTennsylvaniasI sup-
pose 2"
"Yes, that is, no—I can't say I
did."
"Where did you meet her."
"Why, I oan't say where, exact-
ly—don't know as -C've met her at
all, to tell the truth."'
"Telling the truth seems to be a
work of time with you," remarked
the agent, drily. " Now if you'll
be good enough to give me a little
light about what you do know of
this young lady, whom you have
•never met but whom you pro-
pose to marry, and on whose honor
you are willing to stake your life,
perhaps there may be some prospect
of getting at the facts of this mys-
terious robbery --otherwise, you
need waste no more time in this
neighborhood."
"If it does, sir 2 Why, who else
can it be Isn.'t there the envelope
• to speak for itself—hasn't it evident-
• ly been torn open and gummed up
gain? Of Course it'sla Post Office
thief—any one can see that.",
Probably, sir; but 1 Llon't see
it, just yet. Be gobd enough to
• give me the name the writer of
• this letter." •
The young man hesitated, and at
once bis manner becaine confused and
nervous.
• "I'd rather not if it's all the same,
sir. It's a young lady, and there
are peculiar crratunstances about the
cade—and, in short, I don't- want her
name mixed. up in' it." •
" But it will be absolutely neces-
sary, irs order to make a proper in-
Yestigation, that I should know her
name: Without it, I cannot under-
• take to do anything in the matter."
• The gentleman still sought for
some time'to avoid giving ihe name_
of his 'fair friend, but at last an-
• nounbed it as Miss Emily Melville.
• Other questions followed, as to the
circumstances which led to the en-
elostrre of the money, &c., to which
• the's' complainant answered in an
• evasive, shuffling Way—evidently
striving to conceal something .of
• which be was secretly aShamed.
• Pereeivina that the investigation
was likely to make but slow pro-
gress -while conducted: in this fash-
• ion, the agent finally observed:
• " My friend, my time is too pre-
cious to waste in drawing informa-
• tion from you. with a corkscrew t
and you may as well make up your
mind either to give me a clear and
unreseryed account of this transac-
• tion, or to go elsewhere with your
.griT,rance. Now, please to tell me
why Miss Melville sent you (or
• tried to send you) this nioneyl"
" To pay for some broadcloth for a .
cloak."
"Which you were to purchase for
her 2"

(or any other man.)"
There was deep •silence during
the reading of this epistle in the of-
fice 'of the agent, 'who had consider-
ably turned his back while the un-
happy victim .was learning of his
wasted, Offection and cash. he si-
lence Continued so long that at
length the agent turned to offer what
little consolation was in his power.
But. he *as spared the task. The
ess young man had noiselessly
rted—possibly to take the first
to pennsylvauia, possibly to
itate in solitude over the coin -
• "Well, if you must have it, here •
it is :—You see, about six months
ago,. I (just for fun, you know) I ad-
vertised'for a wife, and this young -
lady happened to advertise for a hus-
band about the same time, and we
answered each- other's advertise-
ments. • But then she was in earn-
est --all on the square. 011, yes,"
continued ,he, observing, perhaps, an
incredulous smile Ou the counte-
nance ofthe agent, "she was all
right—wanted a husband in earnest
—wanted one bad.- She was situ-
• ated in this way: she hadn't got no
father- nor mother, and was under
the charge of a guardian—an old
fellow about fifty—iaid as she was
worth- about $20,000 ( here his
eyes glistened covetously) in her
(Awn right, this guardian he takes
and puts her into a boarding -school,
and intends to force her info marry-
ing him. She'd rathei• have some
younger fellow, of course—natural,
isn't it 2—and so she takes and ad-
vertises- for a husband. So, as I
was saying, I answered her adver-
tisement, and she replied to my let-
ter, so we got up a correspondence.
Now there ain't no . humbug about
her—I can tell wItam a gal's in earn-
est—and I know she all right by the
• way she write, So about two weeks
ago she sayain the postscript to one
of her letters, I wish you would go
to Stewart's and get Me fiveyards of
black broadeloth, and send it to me
by express. I tgant it for a cloak,
and I'll send you. the money just as
soon as. it comes,- and don't fail to
let me know just how much it is,
for I don't want you to be at any
expense for me. So I went to
Stewart's and got the Oloth and sent
it by express, and wrote to her and
told her it was twenty-six dollars,
• and then she put the money into this
letter, and some darned thief in a
post -Office has gone and stole it—
that's all thereis about it."
" Oh, that's all, is it 2" said the
agent, with difficulty restraining the
• laughter which this pitiful tale of
• 'true loye was calculated to provoke.
"Well., sir, there's no doubt that
yourte a very much abused individu-
al, . and if you will call again in
about a fortnight I think I ;Shall
then be able to give you somq defi-
nite information in regard to the
matter.", -
"Thank ..you, sir—only put that
Post Office - fellow in State prison,
and I'll be satisfied. I don't' care
about the money—that is I don't
care so much about it—but if you
could get it back." ,.
• ,c 1. shall do everything possible,
sir. ' Goof' morning."
. Punctually at the expiration of
the fortnight the victinaof this hetra.
less "poSt office robbery" made his
appearance to heat the result of the
investigation. The agent, by writ-
ing one or twoletters, and availing
himself of othet means at his com-
mand, had entirely sati.sfied himself
as to t 6 author of the outrage, and
was quite prepared for the visit.
'• " G od mOrning, sir. Have jou
found out yet who -stole my money 1"
"Yes, sir, I think' I have."
"I'm glad to hear it—did you
get any of it back 'I" -
Not a cent." .
"Well, I suppose he's in State

"Not. that I know of but it is

" Charge It."
I rode to town the other day with
Sam Stewer. He said he was in "a
deuce of a hurry." He had sold a
a tub of butter to be delivered- at
tYte station that day, and he had a
field ready to sow avith. wheat. 1 -le
didn't know how to spare the time,
but he f' needed the money," and so
harnessed his team to deliver the but-
ter l This be did, 'got his cash, and,
retnrning from the station stopped
at a store to get two pounds of tea,
a pound of coffee, a pound of allspice,
five pounds of sugar, and a gallon of
molasses1 The packages were put
upfor him. He hustled them into
th4 wagon,. and, as be wa untying
the tie -strap, he shouted to the mer-
chant, "Charge it." .
'After we had started home, I said:
--f' Why 'did you not pay that
bill? You had the money in your
•poeket."
" Yes ; but you see I had goo to
buy some clover seed of Peter Jtini-
_per who only deals for cash—don't
give credit. Then I have got a bill
to pay at the milliner's. My wife
waits a new bonnet, so does &aught
ter'Sally, and last year's bill is not
pid ; and the women folks said
,

to give thern fifteen or twenty dol-
lars to pay up last year's bill so. that
• they can get their head gear. The
fat is, Garrulous, I'm behind
time all the while. These middle-
men- do take the life -blood out of us
farmers."
; "Bah 1" said I. "That is all
nonsense. There are two Worth,
Stewer, that you should never speak
to ^a man or woman ot whom you
make a purchase; nor should you
'anew any one to say them for you.
Ilion will agree not to do so, I will
.warrant that within two years you
will be 'out of debt, a free, happy,
ca.nd' independent man; and that
what you buy will 'cost you from
7 to 15 per cent. less than it does
now." .
"What words 2".
"Never say ' charge it!' Never
allow any one to say 'charge it.'
The man wh-o does so has to pay a
good round per cella for the use of
the money he thus borrows—more
than any farther can afford to pay.
I've tried it, Stewer, and I know.
Von have often wondered how -I
maitage to always have ready money.
It is because I do not say 'charge
it.' lt is because I will not say
'charge it.' It is because I will not
buy what I cannot pay cash for,

" Oh, 1 see—the young lady was
. probably visiting here, and being
• temporarily out of .funds you gal-
lantly forced her -to accept a loan-
-eh t"
" Well, no, not exactly. The fact
is, I sent the goods to her by express,

"And of course, she being an.old

" No, not a friend, precisely,"

" No."

"Ah, I sew—something nearer

"Well, yes," said the youth, with
a sheepish simper, and nervously
•swiraging his hat by the rim, as he
gazed modestly on the floor, "•we're
lov—engaged, I mean."
"Perhaps she forgot to enclose
the money 2"
"No, sir, I've had a letter from
her since, and she Swears—I mean
she is certain—she snit the D2011-
ey in. It
"Perhaps, then," said the agent,
striving to express Ilis ,suggestion
in the least offensive language,
"perhaps she ommitted to enclose it?"
"Sir," exclaimed the fond lover,
roused by this insinuation, "what
do you mean? There is no doubt
whatever, sir, that the young lady
sent the money. I would stake my.
life, sir, on her honor."
"Ob, very well, sir—excuse me—

Donald, seeing the bear enter the
aperture that led to his poor corn-
paniOn, and -uttering a prayer for
mercy on poor Shon, turned back in
chase of the bear, followed it down
the passage and overtook it in the
narroweet part, when he seized hold
of the animal by the tail, coiled that
article round his wrist, planted a
foot on each side of the passage, and
held on like grim death. The bear,
finding that the tail would not fol-
low the carcass, attempted backing
to ascertain the cause of detentien,
but Donald, not approving of tbts
move on the part of bruin, Promptly
changed posture, and applied his
shoulders to her posteriors and
checkmated the retrograde move-
ment. While this Focess of push-
ing the bear downwards and holding
her balk by the tail was going on;
the light was completely shut Off
from John, who shouted once and
again, 'Tonal, man, Tonal, what pe
keepit away the light ir but such
was the strain on Donald's breathing
apparatus, tugging at, the tail or
pushing with his shoulders, that
three tirnes the query Tonal, man,
Tonal, what be keepit away de
.light 1' ere Donald replied, Gin the
tail brak' you'll feel dat.' But the
tail did not break, nor did Donald's"
energy slacken until the bear was
totally exhausted, and Donald used
the skean dhu so effectually, that he
tumbled the dead bear down upon
her dead cubs and the dumfounded
John."

1 At a literary conversazione at
Stornoway, Da Macrae illustrated
his retnalks by the following story:
Habits' and systems that clearly
obstruct or intercept the light, and
rove insuperable barriers to man's
trht progress, are not to be dallied
with, but, unless they depart by
gentle means, must- be victimised—
as a Highlander in North America
once disposed of a bear that inter-
fered with the ingress of light in
vety critical circumstances. It hap-
pened in this wise. Two Highland -
,ors, John and Donald aimed with
muskets and other weapon.s, return-
ing homewards at night after an un-
successful hunt, heard sounds issu-
ing from a cavern, which they knew
tproceeded from. the cubs of a bear,
and indicating the absence of the
. darn. John propounded their plans
• of procedure—' Tonald, you pe keep
watch at the mounth of the hole for
• the old one, and myself will go down
and pe kill the young ones,' and
with that he descended a somewhat
narrow passage—narrowest about
_ • '
the proceeds of their well -paying
farms. Either draws for the wants
of himself and family, as the occas-
ion requires, without any particular
consultation with or permission of
the other. There is a confidence in
and a reliance upon the integrity of'
each other that is as rare as it is
beautiful. If a member of one
household is sick. he or she is cared
for as tenderly by those frora the
neighboring hoose as by those be-
neath the same roof. There is no
finding of fault because some may
think they * are doing more. than
their share of the coMmon work.
As the wife of one of the brother s is
an invalid, the management of the
dairy has fallen to the lot of the
other; but this extra duty is dis-
charged as a matter of course, and is
• the source of no unpleasantness.
Each of the brothers has a son, and
it is probable that the grand old
farm will be transmitted to them
still undivided, and that the same
pleasant family relationship will be
continued fOr MOE her gen6-ation.

py copartnership can. be found in

When the General Manager of the

prise southward at the rate of three
miles a day, he came across a veter-
an Missouri farmer, who; for fifty
years had lived on his frontier plan-

pestilence or famine, so far from dis-
ease and telegraphs was he.

physicians know that medicines may be formed of

of this oil a chemical change takes place, forming
a, compound which could not by any possibility be
made from any other combination or proportions
of the same ingredients, or any other ingredients,
and entirely different from anything ever before
made, one which produces the most astonishing re-

are sure to bring on MiscinTiage, but at any other
time they are safe.
In all cases of Nervous and Spinal Affections,
pains in the back and limbs, fatigue on slight ex-
ertion, palpitation of the heart, hysterics, and
whites, these pills will effect a cure when all other
means have failed; and although a powerful
remedy, do not contain iron, cannel, antimony, or
anything hurtful to the constitution.
Full directions in the pamphlet around each
package, which should be carefully preserved..
