He asked every body whom he met, im a wild way, where the fire was; and some wag, who recognized him called out, “Stone Street.” This answer drove him nearly mad. His perturbation, when he reached the head of the street, and found it actually blockaded by firemed, was overwhelming. He knocked peo- le about, ee and left, and when he reached jis office, and found that the fire was round the corner, the reaction nearly produced an apopleetic fit. He sank into a chair, faint and exhausted with his exertions. The watch that night was a painful one. a on Muff made no reply, but dressed, break- fasted. and took his leave. As he opened the front door a well-known voice called after him from the top of the stairs “ Joseph!’ “ Yes, my dear.”’ ‘Draw that money out of the Blunderbuss Bank this very day, if you don’t want to find Yourself wifeless and childless within a week!”’ With this awful threat she disappeared, and Joseph hailed an omnibus. “Ab!

I think 1°ll take the money back to bank this morning.” I hope you will, sir.”’ “ I'll think over it, Sturp.”” Toxin entered the office about ten o'clock. Toxin was one of the first victims. The panic had left its impress on his face. and sole occu- pation now was to alarm other people. “Von Muff!’ he shouted. ‘Is that you, Toxin ’”” was the faint answer from the inner office. ** How d'ye feel, old feller?” “ Fairly done up.” _ “Well, 've come to tell you that you must immediately get a new safe. At the fire, last night, one of Chisselhem’s safes was burned to cinders, and poor Fripper lost ten thousand, in hard cash!” * You don’t say so!”" * Yes, ‘tis a fact. Good-by.”’ Poor Von Muff was now uiterly bewildered. His money weighed him down to the earth, and the fears for its loss that he felt in other days were light in comparison to the responsibilities and perplexities that tormented his soul now. He visited the banks, to see if any of them would accept his gold asa special deposit, but they all refused. He even implored the Wa- terspout Institution, upon which there had been such a run, to take pity on him, but with out avail. Finally, he resolyed to pocket pride, and re-deposit his money in the Blun- derbuss. His mind was relieved from an appallin, weight when this was done. A severe trial. however, remained. How should he inform Mrs. Von Muff of the course he had pursued ? He approached the subject, timidly, as soon as he reached home Felicia, my dear!” “Well?” “I have sent the money back to bank.” “What! to the Biunderbuss 7’ Fea” “Upon my word. if you aren't a fool, and worse, I don’t know who is |’? * But what ean I do?” “Do! Can you sit there and deliberate! tell me that you don’t know what to do wit! your money, when your wife and daughters are positively going about in rags? No won- der there's a panic, if all men are like you?’ History sayeth not what response, if any, Joseph Von Muff made to this particular attack of his spouse. It is probable, however, that he was too experienced a husband not to find safety in flight. _The next morning Mr. Von Muff learned, to his despair, that all the banks including the Blanderbuss. had suspended specie payments! te ~ Several devices have been brought for- during the last few years, as artificial tym- panums, for the benefit of those persons afflicted with deafness. The latest of these, so far as our knowledge extends, is one which, with a few al terations, may be made to answer a really usefal street, Crokur put his head out of the window, and called after the retreating capitalist : ** Attend to that at onee, Von Muff, or con- sider yourselfa ruined man.” Von Muff entered his office in Stone street terribly perplexed. He found Scrummage there—Scrommage, who knew the financial condition of every institution in the country ~ Well, Serummage. how are the banks?” “Bound to go before long. I've given a “What. do you think so, too, Serummage ? And the Blunderbuss?”’ “No better than the others. Got money there?” “Yes” * Then draw it out immediately; that’s my advice."’ And offhe went tocounsel some other bewildered mortal. Von Maff now began to realize the panie. To think was only to make matters worse He rushed into the street in frantic alarm; as he hurried along, he saw an immense crowd of people before the doors of the Waterspout. *: What is the matter here?’ he timidly in- quirek of a by-stander. “Kan on the bank.” * Good Heavens! you don’t say so?” _ And onward he hastened. Two mon, talking In an eager, excited way. dashed by him the next moment. He caught the word *Blunder- buss;"’ this was the climax of his agony. He directed his steps at once to the bank where his treasure was deposited The quiet and repose that surrounded that veteran institution somewhat reaseured him. His fears, however, were not to be dispelled. * This is the calm,” he said to himself, ~‘ that invariably precedes the storm. There is decep- tion init. [am justintime.”’ Sohe entered; drew his money in gold, and, with the aid of | porters and a cart. had it conveyed to in Stone street. An air of immense satisfaction pervaded Von Muff 's round, good-natured face, when he saw the last twenty-dollar piece deposited in his safe—one of Chisselhem’s iron, patent, ever- lasting safes. No fearof that bursting. He lighted a cigar, and | pps. forth the smoke in a long succession of wreaths, he turned to Feekes and Sturp, confidential clerks of many years’ standing in the house of Von Muff & Co., and whispered: ~* All right now, boys; let the banks break if they like. and be —— to them.” It was, of course, necessary that the large amount of treasure recently transfered toStone street should be watched at night, otherwise a burglary in the third degree might be as disas- troas asthe breaking of # bank. Von Muff him-elf, with the enthusiasm of a recruit. de- clared he was ready to mount guard for a fort- night, he could obtain sufficient sleep in the evening and morning before and after the ful- filment of his nocturnal duties; and those ae- commodating clerks, Feekes and Sturp. con- sented to assist him. on condition that they urpose.
