"True," replied Strosser, "but the

" TO come to the rescue"
At this singular turn in the tide Of
fortune, Mr.. Barton fairly wept for
joy.
His paper was taken up just as
fast as IL was sent in, and in less than
a month he had passed the crisis, and
stood perfectly safe und secure; his
credit increased, and his business i'm
proved, while several other firms had
sunk under the blow, and could not
rally; among whom was Mr.. Hawley,
alluded to at the commencement OF
this article.
"How did you manage to keep a
bove the tideg', inquired Mr.. Hawley
Of Mr.. Barton, one morning several
months after tho events last record
ed, as he met the latter on the street,
on his way down TO his place Of bu-
siness.
"very easily indeed, assure you, :"
replied Mr.. Barton.
"WelI, do tell me how?" continued
Mr. Hawley. ~ lay claim to q good
degree Of shrewdncss, but tho strong
est exercise of my wits did not save
me; and you, whose liabilities were
twice as heavy rs my own, have out
lived the shock, and have como off,

II suppose so, said Mr.. Hawley,
regarding Mr.. b. with look Of sur
prise, ''but how did you obtain the

refused TO take my paper, and even
my friends deserted me-"

"Why, do you not remember how
| established young Strosser in bust
ness, some ten years ago?"
"Ohl yes, yes" replied Mr.. Haw-
ley as q ray Of suspicion Lie up his
countenance, "but what Of that"
"He is one Of the heaviest dry
goods dealers in tho city; and when
this calamity came on, he camc for
ward, and very generously advanced
me seventy-fve thousand dollars
You know | teld you, on the morn
ing l called to offer you an equal

better than an investment in the
bank"
During this announcement, Mr..
Hawley's eyes wero bent in entity
upon the ground, and drawing q deep
sigh, he moved on, detected and sad,
while Mr.. Barton returned to his bu-
siness, with his mind clated and ami
mated, by thoughts of the singular
investment.
