What » fool L was, to-be-sure! It happened that hee father was a clergyman, backed by high convecti ant lovking forward to be a bishop before long. He bailed her out ia no time— came down upon me with acharge of conspira- cy, and threats of transportation for life—bwig- ered wy serving-weack out of her wits first hiaeself, aod then set a hatchet-faced fellow to cross-examine her, whe drove her clean be- wildered—more tool I tor letting him do it; butI kuew co better then. I saw it would never do to take the case tu trial with such a witness, and, by Jove, she saved me the tron- bie by bolting away befure the day of trial came. I was obliged to withdraw the charge, aud pretend that it was all a mistake. The clergyman talked of prosecuting me for eon- spiracy; but he had some conscience, and only talked; the girl, I had nv doubt, confessed the theft tohim. As it was, I got the reputation of a monster, and only recovered my charac- ter by acknowledging that I must have been praak atthe time apd did not know what I was about—I, who was never drunk in my life! That affair cost me fifty pounds in cash, and damaged my connection to the extent of at least two hundreds pounds more. I should have been ruined, but the parson got his bish- oprick, and left my neighborhood; I put a new name on my sigu-board, and in time the event was forgotten. ; I had learned valuable lesson. The next lady-thief who favored me with a visit, did me the honorto rob me to the amount of two- pounds-ten. She did it so clumsily that I } could not avoid seeing her. I affected not to notice it; smilingly took her order to the amount of a few shillings, and, when [ sent home the sepals the stolen article down ia led next day, and with the | utunost affubility informed me of the mistake I had made in charging an article whi h Lhad not sent, and which she had not order- ed. She brought her ‘‘companion’’ with her to prove that the article eharged was not in the packet of goods sent—which of course I knew well enough. I admitted ‘the mistake” with perfect good humor, and she went away. It will be acknowledged that I had learnd my lesson well—but though I congratulated myself on that score, I thought the teaching too expensive, and resolved to try a different plan neat time. I bad not long to wait for an opportunity. Lady S——, the wife of a Baro- net, took a fancy to some property of a rather rare description, and concealed it in the foids of her sleeve. When she made her purehases, J requested her, under the pretence that I had something remarkable to show her, to step into the parlor.
