I am sure there is. no jaeed of your economizing !' exclaimed Laura.leading the way to the dining-room. 'Why don't you use your mcney, and have the good of it V So I tell him,' said Mrs. Djcklow, faintly. 'Why, Laury ! I didn't want you to be to so much trouble to gi: din ner jest for us ! A b'te would have an swered. Do see, father !' At evening Josiah came home ;.and If was not until then that Ducklow men ians t he subject that was foremoit in this thoughts. What do ye think of Gov'ment bonds, Josiah?' he incidentally inquired, after supper. Fin.-rate !' said Josiah. About as safe as anything.ain't they?' said Ducklow, encouraged. Safe?' cried Josiah. Just look at the resources of this country j Nobody has begun yet to appreciate the power undeveloped wealth of the United States. It's a big rebellion, I know ; but we're going to put it down. It will leave us a big debt, very sure ; but we handle it now easy as that child lifts thatstool It makes him grunt and stagger a little, not because he jsn't strong enough for it, but because he don't understand hi3 own strength, or how to use it ; he will have the strength, and know just how to apply it, in a little while. Ju?t so with this country. It makes me laugh to hear folks talk about reputation and bank ruptcy.' But s'pose we do put down the lebell ion, and the states come back; then what's to hinder the South, and secesh sympathizers m the North, from joining together and voting that the debt shan't be paid ?' 'Don't you worry about that ! Do you suppose we're going to be such fools as to give the rebels,, after we've whipped them, the same political p ower they LaJ before the war ? Not by a long chalk ! Sooner than that.we'll put the ballot into the hands of the freedmen. They're our friends. They've fought oa the right side, and they'll vole on the right side tell ye spite of all the prejudice there is against black kins, we ain't such a nation of minnies as to give up all we're fighting for, and leave our best friends and allies, not to speak for our own in terests, sn the hands of our enemies.' You consider. Gov.ments a good in vestment, then do ye?' said Ducklow, growing radiant. 'I do, decidedly, the very best. Be sides, you help the Government ; and that's no small consideration.' So I thought. Bu how ia it about the qowpon bonds ? Aim they rather ticklish property to have in the house ?' Well I dont know. Think how many years you'll keep old bills and document; and never dream of such a thing as los ing: them ! Thore's not a bit mo-e dan ger with the bonds. I shouldn't want to carry them around with rae, to any great amount, though I did once carry three thousand-dollar bonds in my pock et for a week. I didn't mind it.' Curious!' said Ducklow: Tve got threethousan'-djllar bonds in my pocke this minute !' 'Well, it's so much good property , said Josiah, appearing tot at all surpris ed at the circumstance. Seems to me, though, if I had a safe as you have, I should lock them up in it. 'I was traqeljing that week. 'I lock ed them up pretty soon after I got home, though.' Suppose,' said Ducklow, as if the thought had but just cccured to him; 'suppose you put my bonds-into your safe: I shalt feel easier.' 'Of course,' replied Josiah, Til keep them for you like.' It will.be an accommodation- They will be safe, will they ?' Safe as mine are ; safe as anybody's I'll insure them for twenty-five cents." Ducklow was happy. Mrs Dicklow was hapyy. She took her husband's peat and with a pair of scissors cut the threads ibat stitched the envelope to the pocket. Have yau torn off the May coupons ?' asked Josiah No.' 'Well, you'd better. They'll be pay able now soon ; and if pou take thea.you won't have to touch the bends again till the interest on tee November coupons is due.' A good idea !' said Ducklow. He took the envelope, untied the tape and removed the contents. Suddenly the glow of comfort, the gleam of satis faction, faded'frcm his countenance. Hello ! What ye got there ' cried Josiah. Why, father! massy sakes exclaimed Sirs. Ducklow. As for Ducklow himfelf, he could not utter a word ; but, dumb with consterna tion, he looked again into the envelope and opened and turned inside out, and shook, with trembling hands, its aston ishing contents. The bonds were not there: they had been stolen, and three copies of the Sunday Visitor had been inserted in their place. Very early on the following morning a dismal-faced middle-aged couple might have been seen riding away from Josi ah's house. It was the Ducklcws return ing heme, after thoir fruitless, their worse than fruitless, journey. No en treaties could prevail upon them to pro long their visit. It was with difficulty even that thty had been prevented from setting off immediately on the discovery cf their loss, and travelling all night, in their impatience to gel upon track of the missing bonds. 'There'll be not the least use in their going to-night,' Jos'ah had said. If they were stolen at the. bank, you can't do anything about ittill to-morrow. And even if they were taken from your .own house, I don't see what's to be gained now by hurrying back. 'It isn't probable you'l ever see them again, and you may just as well take it easy, go to bed and get a fresh start in the morning.' So, much against their inclination, the unfortunate owners of the abstracted bonds retired to the luxurious chamber Laura gave them, and lay awake all night, gruaning and sighing, wondering, and (I regret to add) blaming each oth er. So true it is, that 'modern conveni ences,' hot and cold water all over the house, a pier-glass, an I the most mag nificently canopied couch, avail nothing to give tranquility to the harassed mind. Hitherto the Ducklows had felt great satisfaction in the style their daughter, by her marriage, was enabled to sup port. To brag of her nice house and furniture and two servants was almost as good as possessing them. Remember ing her rich' dining-roomand silver ser vice and porcelain, they were enugh for the honor of the family ; and asking nothing for themselves, they slept well their humblest of bed-chambers, and sip ped their lea contentedly out of clumsy earthern. But that night the boasted style in which their darter- lived was less appreciated than formerly ; fashion and splendor were no longer a consola tion. If we had only given the three thous and dollars to Reuben !" said Duchlow, driving homewards with a countenance as long as his whiplash, 'Il would have jest set him up, and been some compen sation for his sufferings and losses goin' to the war.' 'WTal. I had no objections,' replied Mrs. Ducklow. I always thougtit he ought to have the money evenlooally. And as Miss Beswick said, no doubt it would a bsen ten times the comfort to him now it would be a number of yeas from now. But you didn't seem willing.' I don't know !' it was you that was not willing !' And they expatiated on Reuben's merits, and ther benevolent intentions towards him, and, in imagination, en dowed him with the price of the bonds over and over again ; so easy is it to be generous with lost money ! 'But it is no use talking !' said Duck low. 'I've not the least idee we shall ever se the color of them bonds again.- If they were stole to the bank, I can't prove anything.' It does seem strange to me,' Mrs. Ducklow replied, 'that you should have no more gumption than to trust the bonds with strangers, when ihey told you in so many woads they would not be re sponsible.' 'If you have flung that in my teeth once you have fifty times !' And Duck low lashed the eld mare, as if she, and not Mrs. Ducklow had exasperated him Wal,' said the lady, I don't see how we're going to work to find them, now ley are lost, without makicg inquiries without letting it be known wo had brought.' I have been thinking about tL&t, said her husband. 'Oh dear !' with a green ; I wish the peiky cowpon bends had nev er been invented !' They drove first to the tank, where they were of course told that the envel ope had not been untied there. 'Be sides, it was sealed, wasn't ?' said the cashier 'Indeed '.' He expressed great surprise, when he was informed that it was not. 'It should have teen: I sup posed any child would know enough to look out for that !' And this was all the ccnso'atioa Duck low could obtain. 'Just as I expected,' said Mrs. Duck low, as they resamed the journey. 'I just as much believe that maa stole your bonds as that you trusted them in his hands in an unsealed envelope ! Beats all, how you could be so careless !' Wal, wal ! I s'pose I never shall hear the last on it !' And again ihe poor old mare had to suffer for Mrs. Djcklow's offense. They had but one hope now lhat perhaps Taddy had tampered with the envelope, and that the bonds might be found somewhere about the. house. But this hope was quickly extinguished on iheir arrival. Taddy's being accused, protested his innocence with a vehe mence that convinced even Mr. Duck low lhat the cashier was prcbatly the guilty party. 'Unless, said he, brandishing the rat tan, 'somebody got into the house lhat morning when the little scamp run off to ride with the minster V Oh, don't lick me for that ! I've been licked for that once ; ha'nt I, Ma Duck-; low!' shrieked Taddy. The house was searched in vain. No No clue to .the purloined securities could be obtained, 'the copies of the Sunday Visitor,' which had been sub; stituie- for them, affording not the least tor that valuable little pnper was found in almost every household, except Duck low's. 'I don't see any way left to advertise, as Josiah said,' said the farmer, with a deep sigb of despondency. 'And lhat will bring it all !' exclaim ed Mrs. Ducklow. '11 you only had not been so imprudent.' ' Wa'l, wal !' said Ducklow cutting her short. " ' Before resortin to public measures for the recovery of ihe stolen property, il was deemed expedient lo accquaint their friends with their loss in a private way. The next day, accordingly, went to pay Reuben a visil. It was a very different meeting from that which took place a few mornings before. The returned soldier had gained in health, but cot iu spirits, The rapture of reaching home once more, the flush of hope and happi ness, had passed away with the visitors who had flocked to offer iheir congratu lations. He had had time to reflect ; he had reached home, indeed ; but now ev ery moment reminded how soon lhat home was to be taken from him. He looked at his wife and children, and clenched his teeth hard to stifle the emo tions that arose at tha thonght of their future. The sweet serenity, the faith and patience and carerfuluess, wihch never ceased to illumine Sophrone So- pronia's face as the moved about the house, pursuing her daily task3, and ten derly waiting upon him, deepened at his love and his solicitude. He was watching her thus when ihe Ducklow's entered with countenances mournful as the grave. How are you gittin' along, Reuben ?' said Ducklow, while hi3 wife murmur ed a solemn 'good morning to Sophro nia. . 'I am doing well enough. Don't be at all concerned about raa !. It ain't pleasant to lie here, and feel it may be months, months, befote I am able to be about my business ; but I would not mind it, -I could stand it first rate, I could stand anything, anything, but to see her working her life out for me and tha childred ! To no purpose, either ; the worst of it. We shal have to loose this place, spite of fate !' Oh, Reuben !' said Sophronia, haste ning to him, and laying her soothing hand upon his hot forehead ; 'why won't you stop thinking about that? Do try to have mooe faith ! We shall be taken care of. . If I had three thousand dallars yes, or even two then I would have faith !' To b continued. RAILUOAD Pl'.OSrECTs.
