Omemee, Jan. 7th, 1873. A Slip in Mid-Air. It has been many a long day since, then, yet I remember it all, just as though it bad occurred but yesterday. Iwasa carpenter, the foreman of 'a large establiskment apd as well possessed the entire confidence of my employer, who, by the way, had been a schoolma'e of mine, One day he called me 'into his office to look at some rare coins be had just pur-- chased. ¢ Here,' said he, placing in my hand a heavy gold piece, ¢ is one which is wosth more than all the rest put togeiher. It is a great curiosity. 1 paid two hundred dollars for it and consider it cheap at that. I could easily double my money in selling it ; and 0 you see, Harvey it is really a good investment.' * No doubt of it,' said 1, ¢ though it seems a large sum to have lay idle.' I breathed an iavoluntary sigh as 1 laid the coin down on the desk, for two bun- dred dollars would have seemed a fortune to me just then. The severe illness of my wife and one of my children, and the death of another, had made serious inroads on my purse, and it had required me to exercise the utmost economy to keep myself free from debt ; nay, I had been obliged to with draw from the bank the small sum which, besides my salary, was all I possessed of worldly treasures. Thinking of this I laid the con down with a sigh, and turned away to attend to my duties. The next morning I was again summoned ioto the office, but this tine I met with no friendly greeting ,as usual ¢ Harvey,' said my employer, abruptly * that coin we were looking at las disap- peared. TI have made a thorough search but it is not to be found. It has been carried away by some oue.' * You mean therefore that 1 took it, I said. ¢ What else can 1 thivk ? The coin was here ; you alone saw it. I cannot recall having seen it since it was in your bands. You are in need of money you have told me that yourself. It was a great temptation, and 1 forgive you bes cause of our old friendship, but | cannot retain you in my employ. Here is the salary dua you. g + Very well,' said I, with' forced calm= ess. ' Sobeit. Since you have so poor an opinion of me after years of faith. ful service; I shall not stoop fo defend myself? © Then I took the meney he laid upon the desk and went out from his presence a well-nigh broken~hearted man.' But for the tender love of my wife, 1 doubt but I should have 'buried my sor rows in the grave of a suicide. Supported by that love however and the consciousness of my own isnocence, I took fresh courage, and set resolutely to work to find a dew employer, " But powerful is the breath of slander, turn which, way I wight, I ever found that the story of iy dismissal for tel bad preceeded me, and niy applications lor | Whithy $pril 10, 1872; a employuiedt uniformly wet with a reéfussl ¢ at last even this poor reso aud our children pried Mood, x Wp Yet I did not sit down in idle despair ; I could not afford to do so ; the life and death of all I loved on earth depended on my exertion--and so T turned away from them with a heavy heart, I once more set out on the weary search for work. All in vaio ! refusal 'after refusal, met my entreaties for employment, and turning homeward with a listless step, when pass. ing an.immense church I was attracted by a group of men at its base. Tmpelled by some strange impulse I ap~ proached aod mingled with them. : A workman was standing near by, look- ing up at the great steeple, which towered aloft some two hundred and fifty fee above them, while a gentleman evidently an architect, was addressing bim in ear- nest lacguage and at the same time point- ing towards the golden cross at the sum. mit of the spire. ¢ I tell you,' he exclaimed, as I drew near, ' it must and can be done. The cross must be taken down, or the first heavy gale will send _it down into the street and lives will be lost. Coward ! is this the way you back out of a job after | engaging to do it ? ¢ I didn't know the spire was so high. I ain't going to risk my life going up there. Do it yourself, if you want it done. > : "I would if I were able, said the architect, ¢ But go if you will, let it be ! My honor is pledged to have it dodie at any price--and | can find a braver man than you to doit. The carpenter walked away with a dogged, slouching step, and the gentleman was about to move away also when | stepped forward. ¢ What is it you want done, sir 1' 1 asked ; * I am a carpenter perhaps I can do it' . He turned eagerly toward me. ¢ I'll make it worth your while, Take down that cross and | will pay you a hun- dred dollars. You will have 10 ascend by those ornamental blocks ; and I tell you candidly, that they are not to be depended on ; they must be weak and rotten--for they have been there for years. I looked up at the spire ; it was square at the base, and tapered to a sharp point, white along each angle were, nailed small gilded blocks of wood. ¢Itis a dangerous place to work," I said, 'and there were even more peril in descending than ascendivg, Suppose I succeed in removing the sione and then ' ¢ If any accident happens to you, my dear fellow, the money shall be paid to your family. I promise you that. Give me your address.' * Here it is,' I said, * and as you value your soul keep your word with me. My wile and children are starving, or | would not attempt this work. If 1 die they can live on the hundred dollars for a while, until my sick wife recovers her strength.' 'I'll make it a hundred and fifty,' ex- claimed the architect, ' and may God pro tect you. If1 bad the skill necessary to ascend the steeple, I would ask no man to risk his life there. But come, and keep a steady hand and eye.' 1 followed him into. the chureb, then up into the spire, until we paused before a narrow. windows This was the point from whieh | must start on the perilous feat I bad undertaken. Casting «single glance at the people in the sireet--mere specks in the distance-- 1 reached out from the window, and grasp- ing one of the ornamental blocks, swung myself out upon the spire. For an insiant my courage faltered, but '| the remembrance of my starving family came to my-aid, and with a silent prayer for protection and success, 1 placed my .| band on the next block above my head and clambered up. From block to block I went, steadily and cautiously, trying each one ere 1 trust:d my weight upon it. 'I'wo-thirds of the space had been pass- ed when suddenly that supported me mov. ed--gave wayF O' Heavens! never, though T 'shovld' live to te€ a hundred years shal!

' Don't try again. Come down.' But no! more than ever now I was dex términéd to succeed. I was not oné to give up alter baving undertaken a cifficult task, Cooly, but cautiously I commenced the' ascent once more, first seeking in vain to reach across to the next fow of blocks, ¢ for I did not care to trust myself again on that which had proved so treacherous.-- This I was compelled to do however, until the space between the angles Bé~ came sufficiently small to allow me to swing across. Accomplishing my purpose at length, T went up more rapidly, care. fully testing each block as I proceeded. Ere long | reached thé cross, and there I paused to rest, looking down from the dizzy height with a ¢ooliless which even then astonished me. A few strokes with the light batchet that the architect had hung at my back, and piece by piece the rotten cross fell to the ground. : My work was doue, and as the last fragment disappeared, I found a sad plea-- sure in the thought that should I never reach the ground alive, my dear ones would have ample means to supply their wants until my wife could obtain employ- ment. Steadily and cautiously I lowered my- self from block to block, snd at length reached the spire window, amidst the cheers of those assembled in the street. Inside the steeple the architect placed a roll of notes in my hand. ¢ You have well earned the money,' he said, ¢ it does me good to see a man with so much nerve--but--bless me! what is the matter with your hair ? It was black before you made the ascent, now it is gray!' And 50 it was. That moment of in-- tense agony, while slipping belplessly downward, had blanched my hair until i appeared like that of an old man. work of years had béed done in an ine stant. The Entering the bare, cheerless room which was now all. I called my home, [ found a visitor awaiting me, my late em~ ployer. * Harvey,' said he, extending bis hand, ¢ I have done you a great wrong. It cost me a terrible pang to believe in your guilt, but circumstances were so strongly against you, that I was forced 10 believe it. I have found the_coin, Harvey ; it slippcd under the secret drawer in my desk. Can you forgive me, dear old friend ?' My heart was too full to 'speak; I si- lently pressed his hand. ¢ I will undo the wrong I have done.-- All the world shall know I accused you unjustly, not through my words only, but through my actions tco. You must be my pariner, Harvey. If you refuse, I shall feel that you have not forgiven me.' I did not refuse. Instead, I thankfully accepted the offer which my friend so generously made, knowing that no surer method could bave been devised to silence forever the tongue of slander and free my name from the uvnmerited reproach which had of late rested upon it, Uninterrupted prosperity has attended my steps ever since that eventful day, but neither prosperity nor wealth can eflace i's memory from my heart, nor restere my whitened locks to their once raven hue.
