The old couple, who guarded the wei
fare of their child, We're appraised that
Gustaye Heimath, although of rich
parents, was n heartless scamp. He had
been well received by the old couple, but
not so with Emma. The reason was,
that she had bestowed her affections on
youth by the name of Adrian Hum
bert, who was mt the time IN the new
country, as the United States was then
termed. Her affections were fully re-
appreciated by him, and he had promised
her, before he left, to claim her as his
own at no distant day. Adrian was an
orphan, and yet, when mere lad, had
been adopted by wealthy banker,
who had given him good education,
and now, when he had attained his ma
jority, offered him position i'll his bank,
where, after gaining a knowledge of the
business, he would be promoted but
saw that the young man had heard so
much about the United States, and was
determined if he could obtain the bank
er's permission to go where he could
rise in the world. Having obtained his
permission, with his blessing, he de-
parted. Now he has been gone year,
and from time to time they received
news from him. We will now proceed
to relate his first years experience.
When he had reached the shores of
the United States and landed in New
York, he began Immediately to search
for employment. He called at many
places where he thought his services
might be required, and now the day
was near drawing to a close, and yet the
only answer he would receive would be,
"No, do not need anybody" until, be-
coming anxious to find something to do,
and nearly disheartened at his i'll sue
cess, he at last came to large freight
depot at one of the many railroads which
terminate at that great city, New York,
and inquired for the principal or agent
Upon making known his object, he was
answered, Eyes / have employment to
give you to handle freight, If that will
suit you" Nothing daunted, he ac-
cepted, and next morning appeared
bright and early, ready to toll at manual
labor. AS the weeks passed by, he was
promoted from the rolling of boxes and
barrels to that of receiving clerk.
After remaining a few months at this,
in which he showed himself to be quiet
young man that could be trusted-be-
sides, he being master of two languages,
namely, that of the German and En-
glish, which latter he had acquired be-
fore he left his native country-he was
then placed in the vacancy of a book
keeper, which he filed acceptably. Hav-
ing now been in the country year, he
had formed Il few acquaintances, yet felt
alone with a wide ocean between him
and those he loved, and, above all, his
Emma, who, before he left, had promised
never to forget him, and whenever he
had accumulated enough of tins world S
goods he would claim her as his wife,
which he now thought was not far dis
tant. Now, having described how
Adrian Humbert was getting along, let
us return to Berlin and see how matters
are since he left. Everything is the same,
only that the student had saved Emma
from being killed, which was about six
months after the departure of Adrain for
the United States in which, as we have
said before, this student had not found
any favor i'll the eyes of Emma, so the
months flew by, bringing the success Of
Adrian, the old banker sharing the same
interest in his success that Emma did.
This student, seeing that his advances
were of no avail, and being forbidden
the house, determined to wreak revenge
on him whom she loved. SO accordingly
he packed his trunk and made the plausi-
BILE excuse to his parents that he needed
fresh air, and thought trip to the United
States would benefit him, which was
granted, together with sufficient cash.
he then took leave of his parents. Little
did they think that this would be the
last time they would see him. The day
after his arrival he commenced his
search for Adrian, in which he was soon
successful, and began Immediately to
plot to effect his ruin, by teaching him
to imbibe of that poison commonly called
rum. Before Adrian WAS aware he had
taken several drinks with his new found
friend, and also promised to call at
Gustave Heimaths rooms, where they
could speak Mt leisure of Berlin. SO
fascinating was this student to Adrian
that he was almost nightly in his COM
pany, with always the tempting wine-cup
before them, and even placed to his lips.
One night, returning from one of these
convivial gatherings where he had been
introduced to a number of new friends,
all of whom wanted to seal their friend
ship in wine, arriving ut his room he felt
his blood throbbing to his temples, and
looking in his glass saw his face was
flushed, he muttered aloud, "That must
never be. l see where this will lead to
if do not want to become drunkard.
/ must decline further friendship from
Mr.. Gustave Heimath, the student. y
Next morning taking his accustomed
place, some of the clerks IN the office re-
marked how pale he appeared. ooh i
had an Indigestion from last nights sup

the truth, for there were edibles as well
as turntables there.
Several days elapsed, and now he had
taken the pledge that henceforth he
wouldnot taste drop" and leave all his
fast friends to further his good inten-
tons he did extra duty mt the Office,
which kept him late at night. The
student seeing his plans fail, tried various
ways to decoy him from the path he had
taken. Months flew by, Adrian kept his
place the student, on the contrary,
went from bad to worse, until having
formed the acquaintance of two murder
