The Left Handed Thief.

" How many young men have been in

remarked my mercantile friend, as we were
conversing upon the subject of the panic, "
few evenings since. Suspicion is IKE an
assassin in the dark. 1t stabs its victim,
and lie knows not whence the blow comes.
Or it may. he more like the keen frost which
seizes upon the ears, cheeks or nose. freez-
ing the flesh, and driving back the life-blood
and yet the poor man is totally ignorant Of
his situation till he comes in contact with
the heat and begins TO feel the singing
pain. But | believe never told you of
the only time that suspicion of evil was ev-
er fastened upon me. 1t has nothing to do
