Poor George was very III et case when
his friend Cheunccy returned, and az
first was disposed 70 be angry ~ what he
felt TO be his inconside-iite raiilery.
81 am serious. Old boy, quite serious"

and all by killing old Silas Cheeseman!
Poor George was hard 10 satisfy that
these large gains were honorably come
by, and when he went to sleep he dreamt
that he had robbed the bank and had set
Prospect House on fire. The following
morning brought a letter from Uncle
Silas.
The poor old dotard expressed himself
so pleased at his nephew forgiveness OF
an act which he had thought would have
provoked only Tevilinss and wicked
wishes, that he enclosed check for Gl,-
Coo ard his avllncl2r blessing.
Was ever another fortune made by
such means?
George had all the money; Mr.. GoldinC
begging his retention Of the shares. as his
commercial acuteness might be dam
aged by disclosure of the trick which
had been practised upon his cupidity,
and Capt Ranger was subnniSsively salts
fed, having told bis cara sposa that be
had bought Prospect House a decided
bargain.
Mrs. Green would have had 70 endure
many morifying reflections had it not
been Christmas time when Lefty and
George. and all other estranced friends,
are willing 10 forget their old grievances,
and. In thanlf illness that such a season
