stranger so long as the iIl-gotssn gains re-

mained in his possession.
As some curiosity may be felt to know
where he has been since his departure. il
NAV be well enough to give his own story,
| which is this: Immediately after leaving
this place, he proceeded to New York,
whence he sailed by the first steamer for
California, which he contemplated making
his future home. Arriving at the Golden
State, he proceeded 10 convert his govern
ment securities, into gold. which he was en-
abled to do at discount of twenty-four
cents ON the dollar. During his whole stay
there, a. he says himself he was constantly
suffering from the pangs of a guilty c9n-
science, and was allowed no peace Of mind
whatever. The sense Of guilt proved upon
him like canker, and after enduring un-
told agony from the goadings Of the silent
monitor within, he at length resolved to
come back and make a full and complets
restitution to those he had so deeply in
iured. He accordingly returned 70 New
York, where he disposed Of his geld at the
regular premium, whereby he realized
enough in the way of profit to liefray the
expenses of his trip TO California and back.
Having done this, he at once came to
Wheeling, where he at once sought and OBJ
taiEed the interview with Mr. Harding.
which resulted as above described. rsf-r
Looking at this thing from beginning to
end, it certainly presents oEe Of the most
remarkable cases we have ever heard or
read of This young mau had been in the
habit Of robbing his employer, almost daily,
for a period Of not less than three or four
years, In the course of which time he must
have taken money and goods together
amounting to over $4,000. Notwithstand-
ing this long Indulgence in crime, and the
constant practice Of the craft and cunning
necessary TO carry on hs systematic rohbers,
he seems never to have become hardened in
guilt, but on the other hand, when charged
with the ohense, promptly confessed his
crime, and proceeds at once to restore, as
was supposed, the whole amount taken.
Leaving his employers under the impress
sion that he had made them whole, or very
nearly 80, he takes his departure for the
Pacific coast, intending never to return but
the restitution he had made being only par
tial, he is still troubled by the sense Of guilt
He still has $500 in his possession, which
for aught that was known to any save his
Maker and himself honestly belonged to
him, bat the consciousness that it had been
fraudulently taken from others gave him no
rest and at length he comes back and re-
stores it all to the rightful owners

VIRGINIA. BATTLE FIELDs.-Virginia is
fast recovering from the terrible effects left
upon her by the war. But few traces are
now seen upon the renowned battle fields Of
Bull Run. At Manassas junction the forth
ficaiiOns have nearly disappeared-a scarcely
distinguished line alone marks their exis-
tence. At Bristow the graves Of the fallen
are leveled with the ground, and the ties Of
the long line of stockades, from Burke's Sta
ton to the Rapidan, have been made into
railroad ties. From Alexandria to Culpep-

almost desert, but at Orange Court House,

Ingrntitude 70 Parents.

There is proverb; a father can more
easily maintain sir children than sir chill
dren can one father" Luther relates this
story:
There was once a father who gave up
everything to his children-his house, his
fields, his goo,is-and expected for this the
children would support him; but after he
had been some time with the son, the latter
grew tired of him, and said 10 him, Father,
have had a son born to me this night, and
and there, where your arm chair stands, the
cradle must come; viii you not, perhaps, go
to my brother, who hasSllarge roomf' Affer
he had been some time with the second son,
he also grew tired of him, and said, Father,
you like a warm room, and that hurts my
head. Won't YOU go TO my brother, the ba-
ker?
The father went, and after he had been
some time with the third son, he also found
him troublesome, and said to him: "Father,
the people run in and out here all day, as il
il were a pigeon house, and you cannot have
your MONDAY sleep; would you not be better
off at my sister Kate's, near the town wallY"

Of peace the old man assented, and vent to
the other daughter; but, after some time, she,
too, became tired Of him, and told him, by
third person, that her house near the water
was too damp for a man who suffered with
the gout, and her sister, the grave digger's
wife, at St. Johns, had m1ch drier lodgings.
The old man himself thought she was right,
and went outside the gate to his youngest
daughter, Helen; but after he had been three
days with her, her little son said to his
grandfather, "Mother said yesterday to cousin
Elizabeth-that there was no better chamber
for you than such a one as father digs"
These words broke the old mans heart, 50
that he sunk back in his chair and died.
