The Sunday Times says merchant interested

at the post office, arrived at the wharf jus, in tmo
to SOC The floating palace halfway up the rivor.--
About to return home, he mot bevy of friends
who pressed him to 20 down with them to Dol
monico's and ca, a woodcock supper, which he con-
sened 10 do. Calling cab about eleven. hedrove
home-bu, after ringing some time and no ono
camein, he drove down to the Asior and obtained
lodgings. Rising very early, he returned home
and rang up the servants pretty briskIy, and going
up to his wife's room rather hastily, he found tho
window open, and on looking out, saw nice young
man on the pare, with musaches, heavy auburn
heard, coat and waislcoat on, but no pants. The
ineXpressibles, it seems, were thrown out hastily
by the young and beautiful wife, which unfortu
naely got hitched TO the gas lamp in front, of tho
door, while the gallant gay Lothario, who had es-
capped down stairs when the husband rang the bell,
and had gone through the basement into the street,
was making sundry leaps to reach the legs oil tho
pants from which stray pieces of silver were fall
ling and rolling copiously over: the pavement
Having contemplated the interesting scene below,
he turned to the lady, who b. this timo had nearly
dressed and begged her to be under no alarm for
the fate of her lover, who was waiting for her
when he had completed his toilet So, packing up
her clothes and dividing the contents Of his wallet
with her. he escorted the la ly 10 the from. door and
dismissed her. She has gone up the river until the
affair blows over, when her friend will endeaver 10

ly and left the store
Poor Jacobs was terribly disappointed at this
unexpected issue. He had watched all of Wood
falls operations with anxious eye, counting
every dollar that he made, and seeing in his evil
dent prosperity the surety for his money. But
now the fond hope. so long cherished, of recover
ing his own, faded away. and left his mind in
gloom and dependency.
On the next day he met Woodfall in the street,
and was about passing him, when that individual
paused, reached ont his hand and said, with the
most perfect self possession, and as if nothing had
happened 10 interfere with their friendly rela.

Woodfall
Badly enough was briefly returned.
Il am really sorry to hear it. But don't be
discouraged; there is nothing like perseverance,.
1t IS one OF the main. springs of success
This made Jacobs angry, and he said with a
good deal of warmth
There is little good in perseverance, it, at last,

did but that was in the presence of wit
ness. Do you understand? am not quite ready
to pay you, and don't intend acknowledging the
debt until am. But make yourself easy about
it; your money is safe enough
Thus answered, Jacobs felt relieved in mind
His business was bad, not really yielding him
comfortable support for his family but the promise
of Woodfall buoyed him up, and inspired him
with new energy. He counted on his five hun
dred dollars as certain, for his debtor was making
money fast, and would, without doubt feel per-
fectly able in little while to make all straight
with him.
