Rich Mems Dishonesty.

From the Boston Daily Advertiser.
1t is not true that embezzlements,
larcenies, defalcations, and financial
irregularities are the work of OBJ
scure subordination. Onthe contrary,
it is the wealthy, or fairly well offcash-
iers, directors, and presidents who rob
the banks; trust funds are stolen by
men whose position in society has put
them far abovesuspicion ofsnch weak
ness, and railroad and other great
corporations are despoiled by million
aires.
A poor ran has very little tempta-
ton TO steal ten millions or one mill
lion. His needs anddesires are so linn
tied that such a sum has few attrac-
tions for him. He knows the possess
sion Off would be a burden and
would probably lead to his detection
and punishment. Iais reputation for
honesty and trustworthiness is his
capital, and he would risk everything
by one false step. Say his principles
are no better nor his conscience more
active than those of other men who
are tempted and do fall, yet the con-
siderations herein named would hold
him back from crime into which they
madly rush.
The wealthy, fast living, speculative
financier who goes wrong s1borrows'
the funds intrustedto his care and uses
them in kite fyingexperiments. Wealth
begets the desirefor more, andhe never
gets enough. If he wins he returns the
loan as a means OF quieting his on
science, and a little latter finds he has
sufficient nerve to make a larger draw
upon his neighbors' accounts. In his
case the possession and use of money
creates no suspicion against him. He
therefore regards his chances of detec-
ton as small and decides to take
them. Furthermore, he relies on his
wide acquaintance and influence to
give him, 1.-THE worst should happen, a
safe deliverance in thecourts or across
the Canadian border.

The clergyman resumed, proceeding

pushed further up, and a woman-a

The black eyes of Earnest Riviere

the hand at his side was clenched so
fiercely that the glove upon it was

woman has to say" she said.
II am his wife," the woman said,
simply, the fire in her eyes suddenly
quenched in tears; and drawing from
her bosom a folded paper, she handed
it to the minister.
"This is correct, the clergyman said,
turning toward the bridal party.
"Sir, what have you to say?"
But Earnest REVERE was not there;
he had opened a passage through the
silent, shrinking guests, and gone from
reproach or explanation out into the
night, and those who watched him
depart, followed by the slender figure
of his young wife, never looked upon
either face again.
There was instant confusion, In
which Charlie Vincent drew his former
employer aside and spoke a few words
to him in low, eagertones; then the old
man, after grasping Charlie warmly
by the hand, turned to his daughter.

pay my debt to that scoundrel by mar

girls hand in his. "Yos were going to
marry to please me, and Ihaveproven
myself unfit to select a husband for
you; now you may choose for your
self, and III say no word against your
happiness"
Constance looked up, a glad light In
her eyes; and Charlie who had also
approached her, held out his hand.
She laid hers within it with a vivid
blush and a sunny smile, and her
father turned to the wondering guests.
