Deprived of his privileges and of the pleas

low-spirited, and Iongcd for freedom. lie
had now been four weeks in prison the
pedler had not been heard from; Mr..
Brightly had finished his business in Trot-
tinsham, and gone homo to a neighborng
town; and the wretched tailor sat down
crossIogGed on tho table, with his cold
goose by his side, not to work, but to
weep over his misfortunes.
But during the fifth week of Jobs incar
ccration,an accident happened which raised
his spirits.
The blacksmith's son, hunting rabbits in
the vicinity of the spot where the robbery
had taken place, found in the thicket a
leathern purse, to the strings of which was
attached by an accidental knot. small pen
knife, with Philandcr Springs name on the
handle.
II have it," cried Lawyer Briggs, whom
we must give credit for believing in the
innocence of his client; Spring is GER
tainly the robbcr. First, We must prove
the purse to be Mr., Brighty's property"
Mr., Brightly was sent for, with great Sc
cresy, and, strange to relate, the purse was
proved and Spring arrested, before the
affair becam known beyond the smiths

AS Mr. Brightly felt interested in the
tailor, he could not leave rockingham
without paying him a visit
This affair of the purse and knife -
said he, after some conversation with poor
job, affords sufficient confirmation of your
story, to warrant the arrest of Spring lie

" Is he?" cried job. THANK the Lord /!
They can't keep two men in prison for
the same crime, can they?"
"Why, if you took my pocket-book, af-

Xtv.-co conclusion.


On the conviction Of Phiandcr Spring of
the crime of which tho Tailor of Trotting.
ham had been accused-for sufficient eyi.
dcncc was obtained to convict that young
ccntlcmon--hc madea frank confession of
his attempt at highway robbery, explaining
how his peuknife and the travellers purse
were found together.
Asccrtaining Mt tho tavern who Mr..
Brightly was, and supposing lie must have
large sum OF monoy about his person,
Spring resolved to waylay him. Having
struck him with u club from behind. md
brought him to the ground, he threw the
weapon into the thiCkct and proceeded 20
rifle Mr.. Brightlys clothes. To his dii ap-
pointment, he found only the travellers
purse, with which ho escaped into the BUSH
cs, and which he knew could be of but lit
tie value; then, from his place of conceal
ment, seeing the actions of poor Job, and
witnessing the arrival on the spot of the
farmer and smith, tho thought struck him,
that he might fasten the crime on the tailor.
llo accordingly drew from his pocket tho
purse, to which it appears, had caught tho
blade Of his knife, and cast il away after
which, he ran down to the road, raised the
wounded man to his arms, and expressed
great Indignation at the vilainy which had
boon perpetrated.
We have only to add that on the same
day Spring entered the State Prison, for
two years, Jerry and Nancy entered the
state of Matrmony for life and long be-
fore the convict had wrought out the term
of his sentence, the happy couple had pro-
duced an heir to the Brightly estate, and
made grandfather of the Tailor of Trot-
tingham.

X.-ANOTHER VISITOR.

Scarcely had the tailor's wife and daugl-
ter taken their departure, when another
visitor was admitted.
He was large gentleman in a blue coat
with gilt buttons, with stern countenancc
and broken head. With sigh, Job recog-
nized the coat which had caused all his afllic-
tions, and the traveller whom he had the
credit of barbarously attempting to marder.
"Od rot II! you're in dismal place my
friend" cried Mr.Brightly, scowling. "NYhy,
fellow, you look as if you expected to
swing on a gallows tree in ten minutes!"
Job gave the traveller desolate look
which appeared to move him. He took
the tailor's hand, and passed his arm along
the poor fellow wrist and arm, towards
his shoulder.
"Od rot it. this lean rascal couldn't give
me such blow as laid my head open, do
believe. You are not very savage look
ing fellow, neither, Job Marks. And now
reflect, am inclined TO think it was not
you that knocked me OF my horse"
The tailor's face frightened, aud protest
ed his innocence.
But your story of the pocket-book don:
believe" pursued the stranger. "lf had
been 50 careless as to leave it in my coat
pocket, | should certainly have missed it,
before setting out from the tavern. think
some stout fellow knocked me down"
"Oh, can swear it WAS that young
Spring. cried Job, earnestly. Il Gaw him
plainly"
"Well, now, confess 'he truth. Cd rot it!
Say you frightened the rascal away, and
took advantage of his villainy, to rob me OF
my pocket-book. 1t will be better for you.'
81 can't say anything but the truth; and il
the pedlar was here
'Who is this pedlar that you say saw
the pocket-book fail ont OF my coat pocketg
His name is Barnard-Jerry Barnard
we call him."
Bernard" interrupted the stranger in
surprise; 81 thought they called him Barton.
Barnard! who is he? what is he?"
Job related all he knew concerning the
pedler, upon which the traveller exclaimed
"The very fellow, do Believe! Od rot itl
What coincidence"
When Job concluded with Jerrys deter
mination to SO to California, Mr. Brightly
was thrown into great excitement. lie de-
clared that Jerry could make his fortune
sooner in rockingham, and hurried away,

CHAP. IX.--FoUR STONE WALLS.
In the midst of a great crowd, which
pressed around him as if he had been q
wild Indian or tame ourang outang, the
poor, pale, shivering tailor, remained in tho
tavern, until warrant had been issued for
his legal arrest, and Constable Jones came
to take him into custody Considering the
enormity of the crime, and the savage
character Of poor Job, the officer appointed
two assistants although. Heaven knows,
the tailor had no more idea of attempting
to escape, than your meekest lamb has, of
standing battle with the butcher!
Job was taken to the house of the village
justice, and aguard set over him for the
night, with orders to keep the prisoner, and
repel any attempt at rescue, if at the sacr-
flee of hundred lives.
As soon as job was left to himself. he
began to collect his scattered senses, and
to realize his situation. His fears gradu.
ally subsided as he Tevolved in his mind
the improbability of his being finally con-
victed of tho crime with which he was
charged for it seemed to him now, that he
would only have to make his explanations
in the morning, in order to be permitted 10

two, and awoke in. the morning, while his

On the morning OF the fourth day, aban-
doning all hope OF n spccly dolivcrmco

to pursue his occupation in Jail. His wifo

and he knew very little what he was about
until he found himself once moro in tho
presence of the magistrate, giving in his
evidence against Spring, in return for u
similar favor that young gentleman had
douo him five months before.
To he brief, that very day tho shop va
Gated Ivy tho tailor, was taken possession

OF man OF leisure, notwithstanding jobs

legs on the table, and try his hand at tho

And now job, accompanied by several
of his friends, rode home in Squire Walkers

with the joyful news, and every body re-
