forget that have found IT.
Having made this noble resolution she opened
the pocket-book and calmly counted the amount
it contained, which was three hundred and sew
enty-fve dollars in United States Bank notes, and
restored them to their place in it.-On the edge
OF the pocket book she then saw written, Fraacis

using it. If had taken any portion of it and az
forwards not made it up, my fair name and honor
would have been in his power. Protector of the
innocent, l thank thee for delivering me from
this great temptation
With the determination of sending her eldest
brother with it to Girard Place, when she should
return home at noon, she sat herself down to her
work with heart relieved (shc knew not why)
from great load, and with that consciousness of
rectItude which ever carries with it its own re-
ward. She felt, too, less anxiety than she had
hitherto done about the result Of the days events,
and seemed buoyed up with the assurance that
all would be well with herself and all dear to her
About ten o'clock in the forenoon, the new
boy threw into the door the morning paper, which
one of the young girls caught up and began to
read aloud to Mrs. Carvil, while she was bastng
dress FOR the apprentice to begin upon After
the Items of morning news had been run through
and Enthusiastically commented upon by Mrs
Carvil who took especial interest in the police
reports, she said,
Now look, Jane, for the new advertisements
| M,I, ,ha
thing new. These French women are taking the
bread out ofus honest folks mouths
Here an advertisement, Mrs. Carvil, cried
Jane, who had, meanwhile, been running hereye
over the morning advertising column, here's
advertisement that is a curious one won

"Read it, girl" said Mrs. Carvl, sharply, g and

It's all hoax said pretty blacll-eyed,
cherry-lip'd girl, at work on the with
Caroline.
How do you know, pert, that it's hoax =
tartly questioned her mistress. g once had a
dentist--a proper handsome man he was too--of-
fer me five dollar bill piece for two Of my front
teeth--he said they were so white and shapcly,
he wanted EN- as models See, girls, thcy are
sound and white YETI
Here Mrs. Caryil grinncd CHASTITY smile,
around upon her apprentices, for the purpose of
displaying two ill-shapen rows Of yellow teeth,
with an ntermiSture Of glarng, CHASTITY white
ones, for which, plainly, she was indebted TO the
skill of some proper handsome dentist. ..l
do you think il IN earnest then, marin ?? ask
ed the reader Of the paper.
To be sure do : -....
Then why don't you go, Mrs. CarHil, said
the black-eyed apprentice, gravely--'I dare say
the dentist would be glad to get such beautiful
teeth as yours =. .s-
Mrs. Carvil eyed her sharply, to sec if she was
quizzng her, for, in TRUTH she had little faith in
her own assertions Of the beauty ofherold teeth;
but seeing her seriously continue her SEWN 6
she said, complacently, ..-Hz.7
Il would, but can't bear the pain ofthc destruc-
ton Of so many teeth.
Caroline, suppose you CO. said the black-eyed
maiden with laugh; you certainly have the
prettiest teeth | ever saw If my teeth were
even" she said, smiling and displaying as she
did 50 exceedingly white but somewhat lrrcgn-
lar teeth | would lose four ofthem for-for -
For how much, now : asked Mrs. Carvil.
For fifty dollars she answered, after mo-
ment's thought.
i think | would for half that, said Jane.
What would you lose four ofyour teeth for,
Caroline' : asked she with the cherry lips,
Caroline did not reply. She had taken with
an unsteady grasp the paper from the hand Of
her fellow apprentice, and, with an effort ofcalm-
ness, through which those who knew her hsto-
ry could clearly see the anxious, eager earnest
ness beneath it, read the advertisement. All at
once her face assumed its natural expression, and,
laying down the paper, after taking single look
more at the advertisement, rs il to Xix the address
upon her mind, she replied with bright smile to
the question OF her fellow,
Il would take for my teeth only what would
purchase my mother's my three brothers and
my own happiness, give us all a roof to sleep be-
meath for this night, and feel no anxiety for the
morrow. ......
You value your teeth very highly, Miss Arch
err observed Mrs Carvil, with a toss of her
head-"It would take five hundred dollars to do
all that t.! -
Five thousand dollars for the mere moneys
sake, madam, would not induce me to part with
my teeth The happiness and comforts of which
I have spoken, | value far above wealth. The
