The story OF a DcfauIter.

We recently adverted to the defacation Of james
l.. Hawkins of the Franklin Bank of Baltimore, 10
the amount of sl3s, ,O00-neary one fourth of the
capital The Boston Atlas has long and interest
ing account of this individual. 1t is stated that he
resigned his office in the bank last summer before
it was known TO any, the dictatorship, that he
was largely indebted to the institution. He had
been its cashier for twenty years, during all which
time he was believed by the world to be a man of
incorruptibe integrity. When he first entered the
institution he poor, but his salary increased
gradually till il reached twenty five hundred dollars
and dwelling; yet it was certain that his expen>
sive style of living could leave but little to be laid
up from this source. He first received some ten
thousand dollars from his wifes estate and this he
is understood to have invested so fortunately that
the ten thousand grew TO twenty, then to Thirty,
and forty. and fifty; and going on in equally fortu-
nate investments and speculalions, it grew to one
hundred thousand. Then he drew prize of twen-
ty thousand dollars in lottery, and fortune smiled
on him, every thing prospered with him, and he be-
came a wealthy man. But he was prospecting by
fraud the while. Like Dabney and Lewis, ho had
ventured once to appropriate 10 his own use small
amount of the property of the bank; and the Rubi-
con passed, compunctous yistngs like those
of the angels He paused not, until, by chance, du-
ring his absence, for a brief time, last spring. his
long concealed frauds were discovered, and then
sunenderng privately his property TO the bank, he
precpately left Baltimore. His wife, on leaning
that he had became involved in pecuniary difficult
ties, sent for ono of the directors and handed him
a release Of dowry in the real estate She had then
no thought that crime could be laid to his charge,
and it was only two weeks ago tha, the fact was
made known TO her She was devoted and afiec.
tiOnate wife, noble hearted -and high spirted-one
who could have met poverty with smile, but, as
she said, could not survive dishonor. She sank
quickly under the accumulation of mental suif ring,
and on the evening of the 10th, died Of broken
heart She told those around her that she was dying
and besought them to send for her husband. lie
came from his concealment in time to receive the
last look of the partner of his young years, and the
solace of his old age--the victim of his crimes,
whose parting words were yet Of forgiveness and
allecton.-BicknelFS Reporter.
