Christmas evening, as I stood in the Iront door, a servant girl came to me, and said I was wanted immediately at Finanz rath’s Menuinger's, and must bring my tools. I was terrified—“What! me? why should they send for me “Don’t stop to question—hurry aud come,” was her reply. 1 dared not go alone; so I requested her to wait until I could procure my tools, and I conld walk with her. I cannot tell you how I felt. I thought that at length my crime had not been un noticed. Crime! True, I had not been guilty in deed, but before Ood and my conscience I was as fully condemned as though I really had drawn the money. I endeavored to appear calm, and entered into conversation with the maiden, who was by no means unpleasant to look upon. hat makes you look at me so close ly 1 enquired. "My lather was a locksmith, and I have often heard him say that the locksmith be longs to the doctor and the minister. To the one, man intrusts his body; to the other, his soul; and to the locksmith, bis treasure. The heavenly Peter is our spirtual locksmith, though many think he is only keyholder for their individual treasure chests.” I was so pleased with her answer that I asked her name, and complimented her on her discreetness. "On account of your discreetness I might be called Liza and you Hans; but toy naiue is Catherine.” "The same as my blessed mother,” 1 muttered. By this time we had arrived at Ihe house ol the Fiuanzratb. We ascended the broad stairs, into rooms full of light ami warmth. A white tapestry covered tile floor ot the room into which 1 was led. In Ihe middle ot the room was a red velvet sola covered with flowers; beauti lul pictures in gilt frutues adorned Ihe walls. This is how the wealthy people live, thought, bitterly. I he t inanzi nth brought me a gold in laid casket, the lock of which was brok en. It was an English lock, and I had no small pick with me so bad to return home lor one. On again going into the room at the house ot the Finanzrath I was given the casket, the rath saying that he had oilier arrangements to perfect and would leave Catherine with me. "It must be fine to live in such style," said I, “but how will it go when you leave this grand house to occupy a bum 1 ble one “Oh, that is a long lime off yet. But let me tell you this. I have discovered this. It is all one, whether a man lives in splendor r poverty whether he eats from a golden or tin spoon if he lives on car peted or uncarpeted floors; it he has an easy conscience he can live in peace and comfort anywhere." On hearing this reply, I was so over come that the bundle of picks fell from my hand to the floor. I could not find the key-hole for some lime. Catherine laughed at me, which only added to my consternation. Finally I succeeded In picking the lock, and as the lid flew open, there lay on a velvet cushion a beautiful diamond ornament. It glittered like dew in the sunlight. nthenne failed her master. He came, but hardly more limn glnneing at the open casket, be laid bis hand heavily on mv shoulder and asked “What means this The diamond brooch is missing. I trembled as an aspen leaf. The bun dle of picks in my hand jingled—they seemed to say—Aha Man has tried thee falsely, and now you are caught! 1 was about to throw mysell on my knees, when the voiee of Catherine aroused me. She enquired it he believed me guilty, lie interrupted her by saying that she was equally guilty—that we must not speak or stir. Calling liis wife he told her of his inten tion of giving her the diamonds which had been his saluted mother's, but the most important piece was missing, which was worth many hundred thalers. Then turning to me lie said I could eith er have the case given to a Justice or al low myself to lie searched there—“as for Catherine, my wife will search her.” As for myself, 1 cared nothing, but tbat Catherine, w ho was so innocent, who had even undertaken to defend me—that she should lie supicioned, was almost more than 1 could bear. I bit my lips, but stood there, preferring the ignominy of being searched then. It is perfectly horrible even now as I think ol it—1 was a slave, as an animal— I was no longer a man. I had committed no sin, though 1 might have done a much greater one than stolen the brooch. I think I suffered the most anguish for Catherine. One of the maids suggested that the brooch might be hidden in C 'atherine’s hair. Oh, how she exulted over Catherine’s downfall. 1 cursed the entire world, great and small, for all stood there ready to condemn the innocent. I must hasten. We were discharged, still suspieioned, though nothing could be found. As 1 left the house, in tuy soul was darkness. On ev ery side were lights and rejoicing—in me utter darkness. I told my comrade of my misfortune. He improved the opportunity by calling to my attention the heartlessness of wealthy people to poor ones—jeered me on my tender conscience and the mental suffering I had undergone during the past year. The ignominy which 1 had put upon me did more to sileuce my conscience than anything else. Some days alter the occurrence at the Finanzrath’s, as I was sauntering along the streets listening to the clanging ol the church-bells, and cursing the men who were happier than I, I suddenly met Cath erine. “1 cannot go to church,’’ said she, “but do you go lor me, and pray lor roe; pray that ail bate and bitterness may be re moved from our hearts, and tbat God may fCONCU'DBD OK FOURTH PAOR.]
