"And you swear" SAID Mr.. Webster's
solicitor, that you did not with your own
hands give the pretendedIy stolen notes
to Brown, and request him to take them
in Mr.. Curtis's name to young Mr.. Web
steri"
Hutton, greatly startled, glanced keenly
in the questioner's face, and did not imme-
distely answer. "No, did not" he at
last replied in low, shaking voice.
Let me refresh your memory. Did
you say to Brown, or rather Skinner,
your brother-n-l law"
A slight scream escaped the quivering
lips of the detected conspirator, and a
blaze of frenzied anguish and alarm swept
over his countenapce, leaving it as white
as marble. No further answer could be
obtained from him; and rs soon as possible
he left the Office, followed by the groans
and Kisses Of the excited auditory. Skin.
ner was then brought toward: he made
full and ample confession, and Edmund
Webster was at once discharged, amidst
the warm felicitation Of the magistrate
and the uproarious gratulations of his
friends. 1t was intended 10 indict Mr..
Hutton for perjury; but the unhappy man
chose TO appear before higher tribunal
than that ofthe Cll Bsie.'. he was found
dead in his bedroom early the next NOR
ming. His affairs were found to be in n
state Of insolvency, though the deficit was
not large; l5s in the pound having been,
| understood, ultimately paid to the cred
itors. Miss Ellen Bramston, must not
in conclusion omit to state, became Mrs.
Edmund Webster, shortly after the tri.
unphant vindication of her lovers charac-
ter; and, l believe, Miss Webster was
made wife on the same day.

The scomen,s Friends Society.

We regret that unavoidable and pressing business
has rendered it impossible for us to attend the inter-
esting meetings held for the furtherance of the OBJ
iects of this really philanhrOpc society We learn
that the addresses have been of a character we'll
calculated to awaken interest and to excite feeling
upon the subject as we'll as to reflect credit upon
the gentlemen by whom they were delivered.
The end in view, if we understand it Alright, is
the establishment and maintenance of - Sailors
Home" and Bethel" for the double purpose of
providing for this mertoriouS but neglected portion
Of our fellow-citizens home under proper regula-
tons, and of afordng them opportunities OF re-
ligious and moral instruction.
No class of men exceed the sailors in presence OF
mind and fertility of resources, when upon that ell
emcnt which custom has brought them to regard as
"natural"; while, on the other hand hardly any
beings can be more helpless or more liable to fall
into all manner of snares, devices and temptations
than the same class of men when ashore. This trait
renders them, in every port where they may CO. the
victims of deception, and the patrons OF dissipation
1t Is for the purpose of guarding against this, In
some measure, at least, that = Sailors Homes
boarding houses under proper regulations, and pro-
perly kept, have been established in almost every
important port in the United States, and that
Bcthels," or sailors Churches have been built and
supplied with preaching. If the results have not
in all cases. nor perhaps in any, kept pace with the
excited expectations of the sanguine, enough has
been done to cheer the judicious phanthropist and
reward him for his exertions, while still more i'm
portaut results are foreshadowed in the future
The proper spirit seems to be awakened upon this
subject and if people generally take hold of it,
we feel not the slightest doubt but that it will be
C rred through to a successful contamination, and
that the results will be such to g We an abundant
harvest of good fruit greatly to the honor of those
who have itiated it, and still more to the satiSfac-
ton of their own hearts in the enjoyment derived
from the contemplation of useful and benevolent
work successfully accomplished
