In my own mind, I accounted for its coming into his possession somewhat in this Way: Mr. Blook must. have sold the ring, when ‘ I bought the ring, after beating the Jew down half-aâ€"crown, partly to prevent his suspecting its value, and partlyâ€" well knowing the disposition of the pe- culiar peopleâ€"to oblige him. "Three pounds twelve!’ I rréiaéhtgd, thinking he had made a mistake; for the ring was worth twenty times that amount! ‘ Well, if it wosh‘ too dear, he had some sheaper onesâ€"beautiful ringsh, he daresbayâ€"but he knew she little about ringsh, you she, exshept that he always advanshed too mosh monish on them. One couldn’t undershtand everything in his bishnish, you shoe, from flat- ironsh to diamonsh.’ ‘ There was no mistake about it. It was Mr. Block’s ring, and had his initials inside. But; how did the Jew get it? He would soon tell me. Referring to his book, he found it had been pawned two years ago in the name of Smithâ€" ‘ Thash all he knew. \Vould I buy? It wash dirt sheepâ€"three poundsh twelve; and eosht him all the monish !‘ was a fing of peculiar and old-fashioned make. Indeed, having once seer. the ring, no one would be likely to mistake it for anather. ' Well, Mr. Blook got into difficulties, and went so entirely to the bad, that I never saw or heard anything more of him. But about two years afterwards, whilst walking down a back street, my eye was taken by a ring ex- hibited in a pawnbroker’s window. “ Mr. Blook’s ring,’ I exclaimed directly; ‘ I’ll swear to it.’ It was in a tray with a number of very seedy-looking rings, and was as discoloured and dirty as they were. I went into the shop and asked to look at it. The pawnbroker, an old Jew, said: ‘Yesh; I might see his ringsh; but he didn’t know mosh about the ring himshelf. They wosh unredem- ed pledgesâ€"thash what they voshâ€"and they wash all marked at the monish ad- vanshed upon them, with a very small overplush for intereshâ€"thash all he knew. ‘ It; was about a diamond ring. I knew the fellow who had it for many years in the way of business. He was a commercial traveller, and used always to flash this ring about whenever he came round on his journeys. A jeweller friend of mine, who happened to be in my oflice once when Mr. Block called, asked, I re- member, to be allowed to examine it ; and had pronounced the stones to be of purest water, telling me afterwards the ring was worth about seventy pounds. Mr. Blook’s initials were engraved inside the hoop of the ring: “ R. B. ;" and besides that, it ‘ Only once, gentleman,’ said Mr. B., ‘have I been deceived. William Henry keeps his eyes open, in a general way; William Henry also takes the liberty of seeing out of them. He uses them, as a rule, for purposes of observation, gentle- men. I admit I was, once taken in by as dead a swindle as could be, I’m not ashamed to own it. I made money by it, after all; but I was swindled. Mr. Baker himself told us this story. He said it Was true; nor is it unlikely. I have known Mr. William Henry Baker personally for a number of years, and I am inclined to think he has hitherto never in all h1s life told the truth. Now, it is so mamf'estly improbable that the most consistent man should protract a long and useful career of story telling to such extraordinary limits, without at some period telling the truth by sheer misadventure, that it is quite likely Mr. Baker may haveeommitted himself in this instance. At least the time has ar- rived for human nature to assert itself, according to the doctrine of averages. 0 brothers and sister, growing old, Do you all remember yet, , That home, in the shade of the rustling trees Where once our household met 7 ‘Do you know how we used to come from school, Through the summer’s pleasant heat, With the yellow fennel’s goldEn dust On our tired little feet I And how sometimes in an idle mood, We loitered by the we , And stopped in the woo s to gather floWers, And in the fields to play ? Till warned by the deepening shadow’s fall, That told of the coming night, We climbed to the top of the last long hill, And saw our home in sight? And, brothers and sisters, older now, Than she whose life is o’er, Do you think of the mother's loving face, That looked from the open door. Alas, for the changing things of timel That home in the dust is low, And that loving smile was bid from us, In the darkness long ago. And we come to life’s last hill, From which our weary eyes Can almost look on that home that shines, Eternal in the skies. So, brothers and sisters, as we go, Still let us move as one, Always together keeping step, Till the march of life is done. For that mother, who waited for us here, Wearing a. smile so sweet, Now waits on the hills of Paradise, For her children’s coming feet. MR W H BAKER’S RING- gimmfinm. COMING HOME. aiming. ‘ I told them I didn’t think it was. ‘ Well, would I bet ?’ ‘ I would rather not. ‘ More booting. ‘At length, very reluctantly, I over- came my scruples; The name of Baker is a name too closely allied to the gentle bred (arms, four loaves, pprâ€"scjant, quarteredâ€"crest, the doe, levant) to al- low it to be wantonly sullied. I bet. ‘ Théy laughea~ and hooted nio still more at this admission. They said that settled the question, and that it was pastg. ‘So will I,’ said another. ‘And I.’ ‘ And I.’ ‘ So said eleven of them. ‘ Really, gentlemen,’ said I, ‘ I’m very sorry you should take the matter so much in earnest. All I can tell you is, I be- lieve my ring to be a diamond ring, and this, notwithstanding I will freely admit I only paid a very small sum for it.’ ‘v I’ll bet him five pounds it's paste,’ said one. ‘ Gentlemen,” said I, .“ for some weeks I have listened to casual obserVations in which the name of Baker has been un- worthil y associated with paste and pastry, but have refrained from making any re- mark. having been firmly persuaded they could only apply to industrious trades- men employed in the manufacture of home-baked bread.’ (Oh, oh I) ' It now occurs to me that such remarks were in» tended in allusion to the ring I wearâ€"a ring, I take this opportunity of informâ€" ing youâ€"â€"which, unlike the wits who have amused themselves at its expenseâ€"- is indebted for its brilliancy to nature.’ ‘ They,7 booted me ; theyfiheaped opfifo. brious epithets on the name of Baker; thgngugheglrand talked me down. ‘ Well, William Henry,’ said I to my- selfi, ‘the Jew has jewed you, and the club has chafi‘ed you, and you may con. sider yourself trod upon, after the man- ner of speaking.’ But the worm will turn. ‘ Did the jeweller let out diamonds on hire ?’ I asked. ‘ He did. ‘ Would he have a certain alteration, which I suggested, made in my ring in a fortnight’s time?’ ‘ He would. ‘ And keep it secret?’ ‘ Certainlyâ€"business was business.’ ‘ For the whole of that fortnight I never went near the club; that was pro- bably the reason why my appearance at the club dinner was greeted with such lively sallies about Baker’s Paste. One would-be wag recommended me, whilst helping a tart, ‘ to keep my fingers out of the pastry.’ Believing him to intend some obscure allusion to the gems on my little finger, I thought it time to open fire. ’ ‘Eh?’ said 1, as pale as a turnip. ‘ Why, didn’t you tell me It Was worth seve_n_ty pqunds ?’ ‘ Talking the matter over, the jeweller suggested that on Mr. Blook getting into difficulties, the first thing he did was to sell the diamonds out of his ring, and get their places supplied with paste; whilst, finally, he had pawned it himself with the Jew, as_a paste ring: ‘ Yes,’ he anSWered; ‘ when it had diamonds in litâ€"nob when it h_as paste.’ ‘ 0 yes,’ said my friend the jewéller ; ‘I recognise the ring again directly.â€"-â€" Want. to know what it’s worth? (He put it. in the scales.) ‘Well,-â€"h’mâ€" about seven-and-twenty shillings for old gold.’ ‘I hardly know what made me call on my friend the jeweller. It was not that I had any doubt of the genuineness of the diamonds, especially as he was the very man who had before valued Mr. Blook’s ring at seventy pounds. But it had been so dinned into my head they were false, that I wanted just a formal confirmation of the estimate he had pre- viously formed of their worth. ‘ Again, there are kinds of sham bril~ liants known as Irish Diamonds and Isle of Wight Diamonds. The club (not one or two members, but the whole body) refused to recognise such distinctions,and insisted on designating the whole class of shams as ‘ Baker’s Diamonds.’ ‘ Baker’s Paste,’ my gems were also denominated. They actually sent me by post a circular of somebody’s Baking Powder, adding to it at the end, where 1t says the public is respectfully cautioned against spurious imitations, “ but more particularly against a spurious preparation to deceive the unwary, known as Baker's ‘ Paste.’ ” Now, after two or three weeks, this be- came tiresome. Still, I took no notice, and affected not to think the remarks in- tended for me. ‘ There is a certain commercial club in our town, which I occasionally visit. The members are of an easy dc somewhat liVely disposition 5 generally given to in“ ‘dulge in that. playful style of banter pop- ularly known as ‘chaff.’ My diamond iring came in for a good share of it. I can stand chafl‘ as well as any man; but I put it to you. if, when you know very well your brilliants are real, it isn’t a little annoying for the chaff of a whole body of people to assume the character of persistent disbelief in the value of your jewellery ? For instance, the waiter an- swers the bell. ‘ ‘ Did any gentleman ring 7’ ‘ 0 yes,’ one of the members would re- tort; ‘it was the gentlemen with the paste diamonds.’ in difficulties, to some one else; It was quite certain Mr. Block had not pawned it at the Jew’e, or the Jew would have known its value. The ring must, then, have been lost by, or stolen from, a. sub- sequent possessor; and the finder or thief, [whichever it happened to be], being Ignorant of its value, had taken it to the Jew, who knew no better 0 VV_ (Ewami'ned) (Signed) JOHN M'GILL.

It just paid for the real diamonds; for I bought the ones I had previously hired of the jewel- ler, and had them set in a ring the fac- simihe of Mr. Block’s, except that the initials inside are W.

We compro- mised it at last at twenty-two ten, which he paid part in sixpences and coppers, and owes me fourpence-half penny to this day. ‘ He came to tile.
