| Cry PoLIcE,--An Easy Situation.--M
Thomas Roney, young man out OF EN-
ployment, was greeted while looking over
the column Of .wan,s" in the Ledger, with
the sight Of an advertisement which stated
that gentleman Of good address would
find an easy and pleasant situation, by ap-
Iplyinr at room No. 26 - Hotel; wages
$50 per month. N. B--.I'he person who
shall obtain this desirable situation, (said
the adyertiscmcnt.) is expected to deposit
Ten dollars with bis employer, as a pledge
for his honesty and fidelity" Roney found
the advertiser at the designated place
! This advertiser was middle aged gentle
man who was all smiles and affabillty; he
remarked that twenty or thirty persons had
applied for the situation, but he did not like
/ The looks Of any OF them. "But your coun-
tenance recommends you." be remarked
eracious!y to Mr.. r. "The situation is
yours, if you can comply with the terms.
Have YOU the Ttn?" Roney handed over
| a bank note, and the gentleman, without
being asked, wrote receipt, signed Fred
erick Beverley Hoops, and presented it TO
Mr.. Roney, showing that the affair was to
be conducted ab initio, in an honorable
and busiaess-like manner. Mr.. Roncy,
being NOW regularly engaged, wished to
be set 10 work at once, but Mr.. Hoops
made answer, sAll that you will be requl-
red 10 do, for the FIRST three or four days,

tered on this daty with much aiacrity,
blessing the chance that brought him such
an agreeable job, and before three days
had elapsed, be had made himself well ac-
quanted with the localities Of Philadelphia.
Then he thought it prudent TO call on Mr..
Hoops and inquire what was to be done
next. He did call, and found his employ
er's apartment in the hotel closely shut up.
Half dozen were seen waiting in the an
te-chaHbcr, and. on putting some questions
TO them, Mr. Roney discovered thet they
had all been employed like himself; each
having deposited his ten dollars in the
hands Of Mr.. r. Beverley Hoops, as secu-
rity for diligent and faithful conduct IN
that gentleman's service. On enquiry at
the bar. it was ascertained that MIR. Hoops
himseIf had been gone for more than two
days, and the only reason the landlord had
to expect his return was the non-pnyment
of his bill for boarding and lodging. to the
settlement OF which be will doubtless at.
teud, when he happens to think eft. As
Mr. Reney is of suspicious temper, ne
thought it possible that sieindle might
have been intended by the absent Mr..
Hoops, and he communicated his thoughts
on the subject 10 the Mayor; but It is not
likely that Mr. Hoops will condescend to
appear and answer to charge go derogato-
