HERBERT DEXTER'S ORDEAL.
A lady entered a large dry goods store In the
city, and enquired for thlbcts. She was di
rected lo the lower end of the slnre, where
a yotint! clerk awaited' hrr order. He was a
boy of fifteen, witli a frank, handsome face
lint inspired Instant confidence.
He at once displayed a variety ol coods
One particular piece appeared to plcisi the
customer.
".Ire the colors fast?" she inquiied.
Herbert Dexter looked at it carefully.
"I uin afraid not," he answered, "A lattv
came In a day or two since, and complained
Hut It hud failed."
Thank you," siid the lady. "T hen I must
look els where, as you have nothing else with
a sum. I tL'tire lo mv lasln."
The proprietor of the. establishment was near
enoiiKh lo hear litis conversation. The ladv
had scarcely left the store when he advanced
iwurtls Herbert and said harshly, "what made
you tell that lady the cloth would not wash ?"
"Because," said Herbert looking up in sur
prise, "she asked me."
'Well, you simpleton, why couldn't you tell
her it, did."
"Because It wouldn't have been the tinth,"
replied Herbert simply.
Then you could at least have to'.d her that
you didn't know."
But I did, sir."
'It seems you have a tender conscience,"
sneered his employer. "Since that Ii the cane
I can't afford to haye you here. It wont do to
p.ty for sending customer! away. When yowr
week is out you may lenvo my employ."
Herbert's heart sank within hi in. To him
the loss of a situation was a very serious mat ter.
His mother was a poor widow dependent
upon her own exertions for a liielihood, and
Ilia three dollars which Herbert brought to
her weekly was of great consequence, to her

Devter was not a man of that sort. Money
was dar. r !o hint than his nearest friend. He
seemed to feel that in obtaining a situation for
Ills nephew In the relail store of Messrs. Smith
,fc Co., he had placed til iu under a great loal
of obligation.
In the midst of II -rlierl's sorrow he did not
for sit instant doubt that he had done right,
nor would he hne acted dilleteully if the op
portunity had beeu given.
Yet It was with a heavy heart th.it he went
home to supper and Informed his mother that
he had been dismissed from his place.
"I hope you hove done nothing to deserve
dismissal," said his mother much dis
turbed. Herbert thereupon related his story.
"Yon did right, my son," said Mrs. Dexter,
emphatically. The situation was not worlh
keeping at the cipen.-e nf truth."
"I .nn glad you think I did right, mother,"
said llcibi rt, "nut what shall I do V he In
quired anxiously. "I ought 'o get another
situation Immediately."
"Perhaps you had better call on your uncle
John," suggested Mrs. Dexter. "Ue will no
doubt be able to procure you another situa
tion." "I'll go te-night, mother," said Herbeit,
"for there Is no lime to be lost."
7 wenty minutes lster Herbert rang the bell
of a hands one house in a fashionable street in
I lie city.
He was admitted by the. servant and ushered
into his uncle's presence.
Mr. John Dexter was a dignified looking
man, having apparently a high opiotiiou of
himself, and comparatively a low opinion i f
everybody else who chose lo come in conflict
with him.
"Well Herbert," said his uncle, patroni.ititfly.
"how are yon getting on al your place ?"
"Not very well, undo," answered Herbert
rather nervously, for he stood a II 1 1 last in awe of
Ilia uncle.
"Not very well !" repeated Mr. Dexltr, sur-
v-yinghim through hi tfnrt with dis
pleasure. "How does that happen!"
"Mr. Smith riecta me to do what I don't
think is right."
"I don't no lerstand volt."
H lYuji'ii II i licit diluted into the explana
tion Willi which we aie already fnnll ar.
At the eoiiclusian he looked into his uncle's
face, and saw that it was unfavorable.
"Would y u lika to know my opinion of
what vo.i have done ?' be deniauded, iu tone
of displeastlle.
"If you please, uncle," faltered Herbert.
"Then I think you have maje a fool of jour
self. What btsiuess huve you to frighten
away customers. I think your employer did
hut riirht. I should have done the same in
Ins pis e."
"Hut was it right to deceive the lady!'
asked Herbert perplexed.
"I have no disposition to enter into any dis
enssum on that, point," said his unci coldly
"The upslot of it all Is, that ya have losi
Itnttlon. How do vou expect to get
auothcr !"
"I thought perhaps you might Interest your
nit for me. uncle." said Herbert, his hesrt
sinking within him.
"It's of no use to help yeu," said Mr. wex
ter, taking up his paw.r, and beginning 1

"Then what shall 1 do !" exclaimed Herbert,
mnrb troubled at this refusal.
"You ought to have taken this luto consid

place at Smllh & Co's."
"For my mother's sake, uncle, I hope you
will lulerest yourself for me. I shall be
thrown us a burden upon her, and she has to
work hard enough as it U.
"Very w,ll, I am sorry. Whatever further
priialloiis she Is subject to will proceed en
tirely from your prrversencss."
Herbert was loo manly to plead flintier.
His uncle's evident Injustice made liliu Indig
nant. "Very well, sir," rsid he rising, "if you
choose in deal so harshly with me becsttse 1
have done what I still couilder lo be right,
I must bear it. I don't think God will let me

"None at all, mother. I am about dis

tenderly. "When earthly minds forsaku you,

the meantime don't be disheartened. 1 feci as

T he remainder of thu week wore away. On
Saturday night Herbert received his week's
wages and his dismissal.
On Monday he commenced seeking for a sit

In the dally papers which he got a chance to

plications in many quarters. But some one

"Yes; but what about his being arrested !
Never mind about the funeral !" said tho gro
ceyraun, as he took his knife and picked some
of the lead out of the weights on the scale.
"We went down on Ihe cars, and pa bad a

United States Senate, whore ho soon
allied himself with the Democrats, and
was rc-eleoted ill 18o). Marly in his
Senatorial career Mr. Henjainin distin
guished kiniselt as a great constitu

orators in a body composed largely in
those days of intellectual giants. On

of rare' eloquence Mr Benjamin
avowed his adhesion to the Southern
cause, and on the 4th of February,

the provisional government of the
Southern Confederacy, and in August
ho was appointed acling- Secretary of
War, but resigned in February, 1802,
on account of having been censured
by a Congressional Committee, lie,
however, retained the unlimited con
fidence of President Davis, and was ap
pointed Secretary of State, which po
sition lie held until the downfall of ihe
Confederacy. After the capture ot .Mr.
Davis, .Mr. Benjamin made his way to
a point near Key West, where he em
barked on a small sailboa', open and
without deck, for Nassau; and he used
