confusion on the 18th inst, when it was discov-
cred that John Oxnard well known note and
exchange broker, had absconded, carrying with
him quite large sum Of money. He obtained
large amount Of exchange and promissory
notes, under the assurance that be had parties
to purchase, giving his own checks, on satur-
day evening, knowing that their worthlessness
would not be discovered before Monday morn
ing, when they would be carried to the bank on
which they were drawn. In The meantime he
placed himself beyond the reach of arrest by
leaving On Sunday mornings steamer for Ha-
yana. He left behind linn aeonsolatorv letter
for the swindIed parties, assuring them of ulti-
mate payncnt-the matter being merely a
question Of timc--and that they could better

CHAPTER II.
WHERE MR.. ROLLINS SPENT HIS EVENINGS AND
HOW HE SPENT THEM.


WHERE Mr.. ROLLINS SPENT HIS EVENINGS AMI
HOW HE SPENT THEM.
In one of these families, that of Mr.. Petit
grew, there were two elderly young ladies
named Rachel and Amelia. These ladies
were of the respective ages of thirty-seven and
thirty nine, ana now soiaced themselves with
the society of a few old beaux who would oc-
casionally drop in of an evening, and have
quiet game of backgammon with them by the
side of an old fashioned Liverpool coal fire.
Among these visitors, none was more well
come than Mr.. Rollins. His stories were
generally long, and he had much to say oil
the sad degeneracy of the present fast age ;
but then besides being rich In the funds,
he was rich in the "reminiscences OF
the oiden time. He would every now and
then so afFectingly allude to the brillianteven-
yinrs of by-eone years, when he used to dance
with the Misses Rachel and Amelia at the
public assemblies, that the young ladies
would. in Imagination, revel again through
those eay and festive scenes; and, as MIR.
Rollins named one and another of the bellies
and their adorers who used to figure in the
Snanish dances and ladies' chains of that
simple era Terpsichore, the tears would
course one another down their innocent
ScA@AsSeSSASNAt
and a highly gifted critic in green and black
teas and was we'll posted in cough and rheu-
matte medicines generally. Since he had
got along in years he had likewise come to
take great interest in church matters; he
kept the run of the proceedings Of all the
annual conventions, and was supposed to be
familiar with the private opinions of several
Of the Bishops Now none of these subjects
were Indifferent ones to his fair companions,
and as such human weakness as love and
marriage seemed out of the question, the In
tercourse between them was as calm and as
cool as moonshine in Winter. The condi-
ton Of ancient beaux and ancient bellies who
have retired from the rooms of mirth
and fashion, and have taken to chess and nee
dlewoyk, and to sober "reminiscences OF the
heart conflicts they have undergone, is not Of
| the cherries character which some consider
