Timothy laughed, fixed his beaver Ia Dor
say, and smiled upon the pretty chambermaid
who opened the door to him on his return.
~ will give her some Of my currency said
Timothy Jenkins, as he gained his apartment, and
threw down upon his secretary some packages OF
blank n-pasters.
Flush with success, he, on the third day OF his
induction into the privileges Of a banker, entered
the store of J. Jones, who scowled upon his late
friend. Timothy quailed not beneath the glance
Of the indignant Jones, but drawing from his
pocket welllined wallet, he counted out his bills
to the amount of one hundred and thirty dol
lars, which he handed over to the astonished
Jones.
"Why, how is this Mr.. Jenkns?' said
Jo..-. ~I4Aasy = ssA how you came into posa>>
sion Of this money! Have you recovered your
stolen book?''
aMr. Jones,n gravely replied Mr.. Jenkins, there
was a time when l esteemed you my friend. That
time is past, and now We are strangers"
"Humph!" muttcrcd Jones, chow we apples"
"Mr Jones,'' continued Timothy, am now

sAnd so," snecrcd Jones, ssthe Loco-Foco Jcn-
kins has turned shin-plaster agent!-But how do
you expect to redeem thcm?''
Timothy scorned to reply. /
"When you sell your property at the mouth OF
the Oregon, l suppose, eh, queried J. Jones'"
"Mr. Jones" said our hero
"Mr. Jenkins broke in the other, "are you a
ware that your new currency is a swindling opc-
'ation?-an you arc Irresponsible, and cannot
redeem them!''
II take the responsibility, sir" replied limo
sYou arc a knave, Mr.. Jenkins" said John
Zones, as he handed q receipt for the money.
CHAPTER iii. ,
Miss Angelina Tompkins aeain-A reconciliation and
sclarason Of love.
Miss Angelina Tompkins was . singular COM
ound Of good feeling and carelessness. 1t is I
0t to be doubted that Timothy Jenkins had won
susceptible heart; he had written verses to her
ye-brows, eulogiscd her hair, and published some
lanzas in . magazine addressed to her. These
elicate attcntioos have . great effect, and not
she had treated him harshly, she
lill had p1aco fae him IN her heart, more o..
eeially aAss the success q his banking specu-
ltioo.
She therefore psnned him sofa note, writtea :

He was enraptured with the prospect, and
