As for the iiivesimenis, ilic least said about them perhaps, the better. In most of lhe cases, lo have made them would have been sowing to tfae wind, with a fair prospect of reaping the whirlwind. I am a preity decided sort ofa man, and did not find it vury hard to meet the outside pres¬ sure occasioned bv this unmannerly blazoning ^f my wealth to the world. Amari'd woral otiemrea arc sometimes those of his own household. 1 grieve to say that, so far as I am.concerned, this was my ease; or, I should have said, has been my CISC since thc story ol my ereat wealth went abroad and was believed. As you cannot pos¬ sibly make out my ideniiiy, no one need be grieved, or wii! be harmed by what I am about to reveal. I havciwiisons and twodnughtcra, the young est eighteen and the oldest twenty-three. I start¬ ed in lile with an uld Spanish pistarcen in my pocket, wliich I carried unbroken for months.— 1 received my hoard and clothes, such as they were, lor my labor, and so had no cause to spend my pisiareen, the gift of a poor widowed mnihcr. wlien she parted with her only son at the i:arly age ot'iwelv.; years. I never saw her afierw^trii?-. In two monihs from the day on which I p:irted irom iier. and was taken away to a large city, she died, and I was alone in tho world- Never since then havo I been without money in my pocket ; ;tnd this because I saw from the hrdt itti v.i!ao, uud resisted all temptations to spend u:iete^tIy. I remember even while a boy, being cilied mean anj stingy, becauae I would nol Wdsie the Imic sum I possessed in buying what 1 did not need. But such allegations never disturbed me very deeply. To the iiabii then formed, united with industry, perseverance, and paiiencn, d> I owe my pri^sesit position. How. earnestly liuve I striven '.o impress upon my children tht: value of ihe^c social and mercantile virtues! but, alas I how vainly, lei ihia record tell. My oldest son, at the lime to which I have referred in the beginning of ihis sketoh, was a clerk, of one year's experience, in a jobbing house in Market Street. His ideas of business were, 10 my notions, very crude; veil hoped that a lew years familiarity with the acttialiiieB of merchandising would correct false notiona and mako him clear-sighted. I was observing with eerefulne.ss and concern, the slow progress he was making iu his education tor trade, and had frequently pointed oui to him lhe necessity of a mure rigid devotion of himself to the duties pertaining to his situation. But he talked loose¬ ly and vaguely ahout merchandizing, and, loo evidently, felt that in mutters of business he was a host iu himself. IJis drafts for pocket- money were large ; so large, thai I often remon¬ strated, at which he seemed lo regard me as unaympaihizing and oppressive. I naturally fell hun at this, the more particularly when I look¬ ed back upon my own early life, and ihe hard¬ ships and privations I had endured to gain for my children the liberal supply of good things they enjoyed. Well, il was somewhere about twelve o'clock on that memorable day when it became known 10 the good citizens ot Philadelphia that I pos^ sesBcd a fortune of uvo hundred and fifty thous¬ and dollars, and afier I had declined aome half doaen generous offers lo help mc lake care of it, when George, my oldest son, entered my store and with a peculiar expression and manner, which Batisficd me thai " someihing waa com¬ ing,*'asked to speak a word or two with mc alone. So we rclired lo my private corner. " Father/' eaid he, " I am now, you know, twenty-two years ot age .?" " Twenty-iwo last week," i responded, a lit¬ tle coldly ; for I had a quick inuiition of what was in his mind. " And it is quite lime thai I was beginning 10 do somolhing for myaelf." 1 expected ihis, and yet I waa, for a moment or two afier its uiterancc, too much confounded 10 reply. This gave him the opportunity lo speak on, and he said— " I've had an ofier liiis morning to go into bu¬ siness." " You have ?" I am very Bure that neither in lone nor manner did I show any pleaaure at ihis announcement; but quite the reverse. " Yes, sir ; and a very advaniageous offer," baid my son. " From whom ?" I inquired. •• From Kronk & Liston. Mr. Kronk eent me a note about an hour ago, and I have been in close conference wiiU him and his partner ever since.'* " You have ?" " Yes, sir." " And ihey oiler you an inicrcei in lheir bu¬ ainess?" "Yes, sir.'' " Of course, they expect you to bring in copi- taU" " Ol course, they do." " How much ?•' I inquired. "Only abounwenty-live thousand dollars," answered George, very confidently, and with an emphasis ou ihc word " only," that made twen¬ ty-five thousand dollars appear almo8i anuncon- Eidercd trifle. " Whero do you expect to obtain ibis sum ot iwenty-five thousand dollars I" I coldly inquir¬ ed. The countenance of my boy tell. " I cannoi Iurnish it, even if I felt inclined, which I certainly do not." "Butthink, father, what an opportunity it is. Another such may not offer in a lifeiiroe,'' said George. '* Capital is rarely in want of good opportuni¬ ties," I answered. "But, aa it is a fixed fact that I cannot furnish the aum you now require, the mailer ia aellled so far aa Kronk & Lision are concerned." •' It Won't be necessary lor me to produce the cash," said the ioolish boy. Your notes will command the money." " They'll never command tho money for you to go into business wiih JCronk &- Liaton, if they would lake you with a onflrihird intereat fora thousand dollars,'' I replied, ina tonp meant to foreclose all argument on ihia enbject. George was offended. He turned away ab¬ ruptly, a eenience of diercBpect on his tongue, which wounded so deeply that I feel even yet t'he pain. I did not recall him, aod he left the store. "So much,''sighed I, "forthis lying and im¬ pertinent publication. Here are aome of the first bitter fruita. Kronk and Liston have seen it, and at once floughi to get my silly boy into thoir iniolvent concern, in hopes ol ©avipg tbem- oppose ance. I learned ajierwarda. that he dined that day wilb Mr. Kronk at Jonea* Hotel. I did not need lo be told that, already the gratifyingintclligence of mjr Uberal fortune had reached the eara of wife and children. My see-, ond boy, Edward, in hia twentieth year, juet from college, and ja8teotered,.(or a mercantile education, with a paftic^Iar,'valued, and judi- eiou'afriend, a merchant of [he old school, had como homo a couple of hours before wiih "Tho Wealthy Cittzene ol Philadelphia" in his pock¬ ei. Wife, daughters, and 8O09 believed the re¬ cord as fully as they, beheved. the .Bible—more entirely, ifaction is ony lest of faith. Such a furbiahing up as there had been ! Such a quick asgpmption of new imponanco ! My wifu bad on her best cap, and—must I aay it f—ht-r^now brocade ! The gold watch, ihai sho had found il too much trouble to wind up daily, noiv pro¬ truded from htr pocket, while its heavy gold chain and seals were displayed to the most im¬ posing advantage. 'Like mother, like daugh- lers." is all I need say m regard to the girls. There vvas a cloud ou my brow when leat down to lhe dinuer-iable. No wonder, you will say. None in the world ; for ihe insulting words of my son were atill ringing in my eara and smarting on ray heart. My wife and daogh- iL-r tried tobe very agreeable ; but I was eruaty, and ihrew sufficient eold water on iheir fine en¬ thusiasm. Aa wo were about riaing from lhe table, Edward said lome, with a cool aesurance that, under the circumBtancea, fretted meibeyond measure— . , " I told Mr- G —, this morniug, that he could supply my place." "What ?" I exclaimed. ¦' ru ncvcrmake a merchant," said the fel¬ low, with nil imaginable composure; and I see no use in wiisiing ray time over dull account* books of soiling my hands with dirty cofFee hags and molasses hogsheads.'' Tm afraid I usod rather unaeeming words for the head ofa family, in ihe presence of his fam¬ ily, and applied to one of hfs Iamily. My mem- raury isn't very clear about the matter, and I don't care lo increase its lucidity. I was angry, without doubt, and spoke under strong exciie- mcni; tur my mind had been quite easy aboui Edward since his entrance into the counting- room oi G , where I knew his mercantile education would he thorough. " Never make a merchant !" "Diny cofTee- bag9 and molaeses hogsheads !" "Dull account- books 1" Thia was hondsoma talk fora young man whose father was a merchant, and who had been among account-books and dirty molasses hogsheads since he waa a boy. "And what do you e-xpect to make ?'• Tasked, afterl bad cooled down a liiile. '' what do you imagine yoursell fit for ?" I'm going to study law.*' How aell-podses- sed thc young rascal was 1 Wiih what an otr of superiority tg common flesh—such as his lath¬ er was made ol, for inaiance—did he erect his effeminate person ! "Law!" There wasa biuer aneor in my voice, "I don'i tbink ihisisjuatin you, Mr. F ,'* now spoke up my wife. "You should be proud ol Edward*aambiiion to aliuin a more elevated position, and encourage raiher Ihi him.'' This from my wife, and in lhe presence of our young upetart I How did I contain myself ? A more elevated position ! What a bitter insult to me ! Conscious that I waa getting blind wiih passion, I arose abruptly from ihQ table and left the house, Viewing in my heart that, until Ed¬ ward %vould return to the store ofMr. G , I would cut off" his supplies. Vain purpose '. lie did nol return and hia sup¬ plies were not cut off. His mother was on his side! In due time he entered the office ofa legal gentleman of some standing, and pretend- Ld 10 study law. ¦'What's ihat on your upper lip ?" said I to himonc mornine not long after he became a law-student, ae we seated ourselves at the break- fasi-tuble. I spoke in all innocence, for 1 really iboughi hii? iip had become accidentally soiled. He colored slightly, smirked a liule, glanced towards his molher and aislers, and ihen weni on wiih his breakfast. I looked closer, and iho truth flushed on me. Ii was an incipient, downy moustache. I felt a Ecnsaiion as if cold water were trickhngfrommy head to my feet. Was it conceivable that any one with my blood in his veins could be auch a fool ! "Don't let me gee you with thai dirty hair on your lip agoin !" said I to him sternly. " To think thai aeon of George F would hang out a sign to lell the world ofhis lack of brains ! Faugh !" But the downy lip darkened daily, in spite uf alll could eay, giving a sickly hue and expres¬ sion ot silliness lo his girlish face, that could on¬ ly inspire, in the minds of all sensible persona who looked upon him, a feeling uf contempt. Oh, how mortified—how disgraced I did (eel i The next step of ray young gentleman, whose eense of personal dignity was hurt at the idea of becoming a merchant, was to purchase a dog ; not afine, generous Newfoundland, or a little springing greyhound^ or a beautiful King Charles for a house pet. No, none of these, but a con" temptihle rat-terrier ! Rat-killing wos now, for a while, his pasaion. Juat imagine my feetiags, if you can, on reading;, one morning, omong ihe local iteji;e in a daily paper, ihe description of a rat-killing match, in which Edward F——'s dog, Dick, won a silver collar for killing lho largest immber ol rale in agiven period. I laid aside tho paper, and caught my breath several times before respiration went on easily again. And had it come to this, tho aon of George F a rat-dog fancier 1 Dick never aaw the aun-shino of another day. That night, after Edward was aaleep—ihe dog always slept in hia room—I enticed the Utile wretch from his snug quarters, knocked him on tbe head, and threw him, silver collar and all, ¦ down thc sink. My agency in his disappearance | was, I could see, suspected; but I did not auf- | fer myself to be qaeslioncdon the subject. It he had lost a human friend, Edward could nol Hava mourned him with a deeper regroi. This angered me not a Ifttle. Another dog waa aoon procured, but I had made up my mind to have" no raore rat-terriers about my house', so he had to depart. But he was boarded out, and, al- moBt any doy, could be seen taking an airing with his master on Chesnut Street. The downy blemish on Edward's face grew, n apile ofall I could say, and is there still. Ho haa been studying law ever amce, but he has not yei ventured lo apply for admission to the bar; it would bo of iiiile use. He doesn't know half aa much of law as I do. In fact, to tell tho plain truih, he has become a "nothing.'' As I am worth, in his honeat belief, iwo or throe hundred thousand dollars, and, as I cannot live always, he must, sooner or later, come into the posaes¬ aion of fifty or aixty thousand dollars in his own right; why, ibea, should he loil his hands wiih labor ? I try lo bring him to his senses by with holding money, but his mother eupplies bim liberally. 1 talk of the disgrace ol idleness, the mcanneaa of spirit that would consent to be a drone in the hive ; I compare bis hairy, ainmal face with the unclothed coutonances of Wash¬ ington, Latyeite, Bonaparte, Waher Scott, Wellington, Webaier, Clay and hosts of others whose grcal achivements are a part of the world's hiatory. He curls hia dJrly lip in dainty comempi. Heaven help me ; I fear hia caae is hopelesa. "What more ui George i" you ask. Well, his siory is >oon told. Kronk & Liston invei¬ gled him inic- lheir concern, in spite ofall 1 could say. In doing ,o. however, they mistook George F-—, Sen.

Then there was Mrs. A *a"8et," and Mrs. B 'b •'receptions," and such thinga ad nau¬ seam. Oh, dear! How Isickenai tho coniem- plaiion ! The upshot ot all thia was tho marriage of Julia, my oldest daughter—too old to have been caught by such a worihtesa fellow—to the idle fashionable ependthrift son ot a bankrupt father! Ahl what « raiaiako was thai. They net up in grand aiyle, flourished six monihs, and now I have them both in my house, and both to sup¬ port. This ia bad enough, but it is worse lo eeo dn unprincipled yimng man breaking my child's heart by neglect and unkindnes?- Ii has not been so bad with Anna, my youn- gCBl daughter ; and yet I saved her from a worse fate, by intercepting her flight with a whiakcrcd and muuNtachcd lelluw, who had the entree oi Mrs- A 'a aplendid m-nnsion, and waa a fa¬ vorite in her ¦'aee." It was afierwarda proved that he was a barber in London, nnd had left a wile and rhildrun there. Ah ! How pleasantly, and uiih a good hope for (he future, was every thing progreeaing, when I had the misforune to be numbered among our "wealthy citiHene." How ail is changed and biaared now ! The reputation aiill clinss lo me like the Old Man of the Mountain lo the weary shoulders of Sinbad; and, ifl do not succeed in getting rid of tho false impression, I t-hall be ruined. Fifiy per cent., and more, havo my ex- pensea been increased, and atill 1 am scarcely treated with common civility at home, because i will not buy a large and eosily house, and fur¬ nish it ina style of princely eloi,'aiic:. I am the bird ihai can sing and won't sing, and that must be mnde to sing. I am a "Mcelthy citizen," depriving my family, through meanness, of lho poaition they have a right to occupy.

Court, (he following case waa tried, upon which i thejury was addreased bythe defendant, who I had concluded to appear in hia own defence:— The People vs. James Allerlon.—This waa a very inioresimg caae, rendered so from the faci that lhe defendant acted as •' hia own lawyer"' onthe trial, without having the advantage of being one ol the legal fraiernity- His "summing up,'' ot which we are able to give nearly a.ver¬ batim report, wiih the exception of lhe "acting'' was decidedly rich, and afibrded much amuse, ment for the legal gentleman preeeni. The deft who is a small, red-haired, thin specimen oi a Yankee, waa indicted for.an ossauli and battery on one Mr. Dodder. The facia, as divulged upon trial, are briefly ub follows: The defendant is in the employ of the IVIongaup Valley, Forrest" burg and Fori Jervis Plunk. Road Company as a loll gatherer, and reaidea upon the road, eumc miles above Port Jcrvis. Hc and thc complain¬ ant, Mr. Dodder, aro near neighbors. On a Sunday in February Iaat, ihc deft, sow the complainant, in the act of beating his tdefi'e) cows along the highway, and as an inducement for him lo quit, hurled a few etonea at him, one of which, as the complainant icslified, siruck him on the back ofthe neck. The testimony being concluded, the defond- ant addressed the jury as follows :— i Gextleme.n of the Jury !—I don't know'' much about law, and since the trial has boen going on I havo concluded that I ought lo knowa Jii lie more. I ought to upolugiio per-i haps for appearing.in my own deience, and will' do so by tolling you, that I feed one lawyer, und hired another, in this case, but they both come up missing whon I need them moat. I suppose I might have secured the services of eome of theae other 'limbs ofthe law,' that I see around mo, but having been cheated by two of 'em, I concluded to go it 'on my own hook.' and here I am ! I want to tell you gentlemen, before Igo farther, that it is not my fault that this caee is here taking up the time of thia honorable court. Ithink you will give me credit for telling the truih, when I aay that il ought tohave been tried before a Justice oftho Peacp, it being bet¬ ter adapted to the capacities ofsuch a court, than of ihia one. After ihia difiiculty Dodder did get a warrant for me from Squire Cuddebaek over in Deerpark. He then charged ihat I had insulted him, bui five or aix monihs has freshen¬ ed his recollection, and hc now saya that I as- aaulicd and battered bim* I believe there is some difference between the lwo charges- Dodder says he swore to the compJ^inl beiore Squire Cuddebaek, aud I leave it for you to say whether he lells tho truth In saying that I bat- lored him. I was taken by a constable before the Squire, and either because the Justice waa ashamed of what he bod already done, or hndn^t time 10 attend to it, I don't know which, it went down. Two or three weeka after that I waa ar¬ rested again, and my wifo having been confined, I thought it besi, as a dutiful husband, to be around home, so I got rid of it by giving cecuri- ty for my appearance to Court. You know gentlemen that I am in the em¬ ploy ol the Mongaup Valley, Forrestbnre and Port Jervis Plank Road Company, oa a gate keeper. This company it aeema had eufficient confidence in my integrity and honesty as to place me in that imporiani station, and even if I should receive 33,000 and steal 31,500 of it, ihat'd between mc and the company, and ite none ot Dodder's buaincsa. Now when the company sent rac up along this road to collect tolls, thia Dodder was one ofthe inhabitanis I found there in the woods, and I will say for him that hc ia a very fair specimen ofthe real ofthe population. But thero ian't any of them that seem to appre¬ ciate oil the bencfita of this Plank Road, , It let out to civilisation a class of people who never before realized the idea that thero was auch a thing aa civilized life, and ihia Dodder is one of them- It ia a fact that soon after I mov¬ ed Ihere, a young woman, 17 yeara old, cum down out of the mountains on thfl PlanK road, one day, and said she bad never been out before. She fairly seemed surprised to see a white man, and after aaking a fow questions went back into the woods. This Dodder wbb my nearest neigh¬ bor, and a good deal nearer than I wonted him, and I hadn't been there long, before I heard he had been lying about me to one of the Directors, and I soon found ont that he wanted to get hia son who was sworn here againat me, in my placo Bui he hadn't done it yei, and il you don't con¬ vict mo, I reckon ha won't very soon. It won't lake long to diepoae of Dodder No. 3. He tesiifies that he saw me throw three atones at hifl father, and saw the "old, man- dodge." On his cross-examination he says that ho was in his own house in the woods, and had to look over a hill twenty feet high, and also over three slab fences and two sione walla.— Well, ifhe tells the truth,all I wiah ia that I had young Dodder's eyea. He is certainly a remark¬ able boy and can't consiaieiitly deny hia "father.'' 1 am villing to admit that I done wrong to throw Slonea at Dodder, and I apologise to all the world and ihia couniy particularly, for iu— The doctors tell us that there are two causes for i all diseases, predisposiiion and eieiiabihty; I think il was the latter cause-that moved mo lo sione Dodder. I therefore confess myselfeuiity ofthe aflsaolt, bul the battery, I deny; and if you find im guilty ofthe battery I will appeal from the decision to the Court of High Heaven itaelf before I will rnibmit to it. KoTT, gentliraw, yon *«w Itfr. Dodder and ihat h^ struck at one of 'em, but soya it' was vuh a small swiieh.'r have proved thai this switch was a pole about 10 (oot long and abo ut' 3 inches across the butt end, andl have also proved that when he struck the cow fell. 'It is true my wiineaa couldn't swear ihat the stick hit her, ho waa so far off. but lake the blo\T^"a'hd the fall together, and we con gueas the'.rcai.— If you. gentlemen, ahould see me point a gun at a man and pull the trigger, see the fipsh and hear the report, and at tho aamo time see the man drop, I Lhink you would aay thai I shot him although you might not see the ball atrike him. Now, (tie fact ia, gentlemen, ihat -on Sunday I waa laying un my lounge in my housi?,-when my wifo aaid to me that Dodder waa chasing my' cow;>. I jumped upand pulled on my booiaand: went out of doora, aud aaw Dodiler nnd thc cows coining up lhe road. It ia iruo hoanys he waa not driving thom bul says ho and the cows wae both going along the road inone direction, and this wya as near as I could gel him to ihe cows or the iruih ; bul it is proved thai the cows were going ahead of him, and he waa following after them, Blriking at Ihem, with this little awiicb, 10 feet long and 3 inchea acroas the bull, and I reckon you'll think he was "driving" ihcm— I aung out to him, "Dodder, stop !" but'he didn't obey my order, and Ijust threw a stoho in that direction, which went abont 10 foet over his head ai the same time going toward him, while he was Coming toward and I sung uut agai ! didn't mind me, and then I just threw tinoiher stone ; hut on he came, and onl went, andl threw lhe ihird stone, which he says hit him in the back ol the neck, but which I think is rather strange, as we were going toward each other aa fast as we could go. Bul he never stacked up' and hy this time we were wjihin about eight fcet of eaeh other. I halted and hollered at the lop of my voice, "Dodder, why in —— don't you Slop!" about then he did slop, and raiEed this Iq foot Bwiich, as if to slriko mo,—I sang out— "Mr. Dodder, look OUI! You may woHup my cows, but ifyou wollup mo with ihni awitcli, you'll wollup on animal that'll hook!*' [Here lho orator made on appropriate geaiuro of the head, as in the act of hookinji, which waa fol¬ lowed with tumuliuous shouts and laughter, thai continued several minutes.] Now,gentlemen, ifyou convict me, this Cour' can fine me $350 and jug me for six months, and ifyou really think I ought to be convicted of ihis assault, say so, lor I am in favor of living up lu lhe laws, aa long as they oro laws, whether it ia the Fugitive Slave Law, ihe Nebraska Bill- or lho Excise Laws. I will read you a liitle law however, which I hove just aeen ina book I found h'-'re—(the speaker il ere picked up a law book and read as follows:) "Every man has a right to protect himself from personal violence.'' Now I don't know whciher liiia ia law or not, hut I find it in a law book, fn veteran member of lhe bar who was sitting near the speaker, re¬ marked to him that il waa good law.] \\ell, gentlemen, here is an old man, who looka aa i' he might know something, and he soya this is good law. Now it you lurn to Barbour eome thing, page 399, you'll find that the aame doc¬ trine is applied to cattle—(grcal laughter.)- Therefore I lake it, I had a rightto delend my my e.Mva against Dodder's 10 fool switeh. Why genilt-men, nearly all my wealth is invested in ihem threo cows, and you cam wonder ihot I became a little excited wiien I saw D.idder switching them with his 10 foot pole. I am a poor man, and have a largfl family, conaiating Of a wife and six children, which I reckon is doing pretty well for as small a man asl am, and I could not afiord lo let Dodder kill my cowa ! Now, gentlemen, I don't beleive you'll con¬ vict me, after what I havo said. But if youdo, and thia Court fines me S250, "I shall repudi. ate," because "can't pay." And if I'm jugged for six monihs, why these Dodders, will have V- all their own way up there- Bui noiwii^iiand- d ing all thia, I am willing to risk myself iii your hands, and if you think I ought to have stood by ond not done anything, when I saw Dodder hammering my cows, why then I v.m "gone in,' toll gate ond all. It is true, I am a poor man, but not a mean one. The name of Allerion can be traced to the j May Flower ; when aha landed the pilgrims on j Plymouth Rock, among ihe paaaengera waa a widow, Mary Allerion, with four fatherless children, and I am descended from that Puritan Etock ; and from that day lo thia. there haa nev¬ er Hved an Allerion who hadn't Yankee spirit enough to aiop a Dodder for poling hia cows.— /'m done. (Htre the laughing and ahouiing were exceedingl} boisterous, in which all par¬ ticipated, and il waa aeveral minutea, dcapiie the repeated cries of "order, "order,'' by the court, before order could he restored. Our eloquent and usually unvanquishable Disirict Attorney, fearipg to cope with so formidable an antagonist- merely remarked : "It ia plain caae," &c., nnd lett ii iQ the jury, who promptly bronght ina vordici ot"Not Guilty.*' Mr. Allerion certainly deserves judicial promotion,and we move thai he be appointed crier of the Court.)

But. you know ihc old adage, " You can never measure a snake until he is dead;'' and I rather think my executor-^' wil! more clearly comprehend its meaning when they are called (o a. post-mortem c.taininaiion ot my affaira. If I really am worih seventy thousand dollars, very well- It is a comfortable sum, and I hope I am Bufficienily liiaukfut. But I only wi?h that 1 could put my bauds on the money, and feel tliai I had il, as the negro said, " Sariin sure.'' Hu quickly doea tho mention, in round numbers, ol a man's wealth suggest ihfi idea nf a great heap uf yellow Californiae- I uonder how large a pile sevpiity thousand dollars would make T 13ui I am getting prosy already.
How well do I reifiembcr thc day on wliich that "book" was announced, and in which I was recorded as being the happy i»osBCssor o iwo hundred and fifiy thousand dollars I Yes. these were the very figures, " S250,000." How I did atare I All at once I became a nmn of im- purtai.co ; ilnot in my own eyes.ceriainly in the eyes of many who heretofore manifested no particular uitcrest in, ur defence lur, rae-— Before the day dosed, I had sundry opportunities for investing portions of this flmplc foriune, which people sL-emcd to think was lying idle in bank, or piled up in ustilcsy ingots iil my cellar. As for the iiivesimenis, ilic least said about them perhaps, the better. In most of lhe cases, lo have made them would have been sowing to tfae wind, with a fair prospect of reaping the whirlwind.
I am a preity decided sort ofa man, and did not find it vury hard to meet the outside pres¬ sure occasioned bv this unmannerly blazoning ^f my wealth to the world. Amari'd woral otiemrea arc sometimes those of his own household. 1 grieve to say that, so far as I am.concerned, this was my ease; or, I should have said, has been my CISC since thc story ol my ereat wealth went abroad and was believed. As you cannot pos¬ sibly make out my ideniiiy, no one need be grieved, or wii! be harmed by what I am about to reveal.
I havciwiisons and twodnughtcra, the young est eighteen and the oldest twenty-three. I start¬ ed in lile with an uld Spanish pistarcen in my pocket, wliich I carried unbroken for months.— 1 received my hoard and clothes, such as they were, lor my labor, and so had no cause to spend my pisiareen, the gift of a poor widowed mnihcr. wlien she parted with her only son at the i:arly age ot'iwelv.; years. I never saw her afierw^trii?-. In two monihs from the day on which I p:irted irom iier. and was taken away to a large city, she died, and I was alone in tho world-
Never since then havo I been without money in my pocket ; ;tnd this because I saw from the hrdt itti v.i!ao, uud resisted all temptations to spend u:iete^tIy. I remember even while a boy, being cilied mean anj stingy, becauae I would nol Wdsie the Imic sum I possessed in buying what 1 did not need. But such allegations never disturbed me very deeply. To the iiabii then formed, united with industry, perseverance, and paiiencn, d> I owe my pri^sesit position. How. earnestly liuve I striven '.o impress upon my children tht: value of ihe^c social and mercantile virtues! but, alas I how vainly, lei ihia record tell.
My oldest son, at the lime to which I have referred in the beginning of ihis sketoh, was a clerk, of one year's experience, in a jobbing house in Market Street. His ideas of business were, 10 my notions, very crude; veil hoped that a lew years familiarity with the acttialiiieB of merchandising would correct false notiona and mako him clear-sighted. I was observing with eerefulne.ss and concern, the slow progress he was making iu his education tor trade, and had frequently pointed oui to him lhe necessity of a mure rigid devotion of himself to the duties pertaining to his situation. But he talked loose¬ ly and vaguely ahout merchandizing, and, loo evidently, felt that in mutters of business he was a host iu himself. IJis drafts for pocket- money were large ; so large, thai I often remon¬ strated, at which he seemed lo regard me as unaympaihizing and oppressive. I naturally fell hun at this, the more particularly when I look¬ ed back upon my own early life, and ihe hard¬ ships and privations I had endured to gain for my children the liberal supply of good things they enjoyed.
Well, il was somewhere about twelve o'clock on that memorable day when it became known 10 the good citizens ot Philadelphia that I pos^ sesBcd a fortune of uvo hundred and fifty thous¬ and dollars, and afier I had declined aome half doaen generous offers lo help mc lake care of it, when George, my oldest son, entered my store and with a peculiar expression and manner, which Batisficd me thai " someihing waa com¬ ing,*'asked to speak a word or two with mc alone. So we rclired lo my private corner.
" Father/' eaid he, " I am now, you know, twenty-two years ot age .?"
" Twenty-iwo last week," i responded, a lit¬ tle coldly ; for I had a quick inuiition of what was in his mind.
" And it is quite lime thai I was beginning 10 do somolhing for myaelf."
1 expected ihis, and yet I waa, for a moment or two afier its uiterancc, too much confounded 10 reply. This gave him the opportunity lo speak on, and he said—
" I've had an ofier liiis morning to go into bu¬ siness."
" You have ?" I am very Bure that neither in lone nor manner did I show any pleaaure at ihis announcement; but quite the reverse.
" Yes, sir ; and a very advaniageous offer," baid my son. " From whom ?" I inquired. •• From Kronk & Liston. Mr. Kronk eent me a note about an hour ago, and I have been in close conference wiiU him and his partner ever since.'* " You have ?" " Yes, sir."
" And ihey oiler you an inicrcei in lheir bu¬ ainess?" "Yes, sir.''
" Of course, they expect you to bring in copi- taU" " Ol course, they do." " How much ?•' I inquired. "Only abounwenty-live thousand dollars," answered George, very confidently, and with an emphasis ou ihc word " only," that made twen¬ ty-five thousand dollars appear almo8i anuncon- Eidercd trifle.
" Whero do you expect to obtain ibis sum ot iwenty-five thousand dollars I" I coldly inquir¬ ed. The countenance of my boy tell. " I cannoi Iurnish it, even if I felt inclined, which I certainly do not."
"Butthink, father, what an opportunity it is. Another such may not offer in a lifeiiroe,'' said George.
'* Capital is rarely in want of good opportuni¬ ties," I answered. "But, aa it is a fixed fact that I cannot furnish the aum you now require, the mailer ia aellled so far aa Kronk & Lision are concerned."
•' It Won't be necessary lor me to produce the cash," said the ioolish boy. Your notes will command the money."
" They'll never command tho money for you to go into business wiih JCronk &- Liaton, if they would lake you with a onflrihird intereat fora thousand dollars,'' I replied, ina tonp meant to foreclose all argument on ihia enbject. George was offended. He turned away ab¬ ruptly, a eenience of diercBpect on his tongue, which wounded so deeply that I feel even yet t'he pain. I did not recall him, aod he left the store.
"So much,''sighed I, "forthis lying and im¬ pertinent publication. Here are aome of the first bitter fruita. Kronk and Liston have seen it, and at once floughi to get my silly boy into thoir iniolvent concern, in hopes ol ©avipg tbem-
oppose
ance. I learned ajierwarda. that he dined that day wilb Mr. Kronk at Jonea* Hotel.
I did not need lo be told that, already the gratifyingintclligence of mjr Uberal fortune had reached the eara of wife and children. My see-, ond boy, Edward, in hia twentieth year, juet from college, and ja8teotered,.(or a mercantile education, with a paftic^Iar,'valued, and judi- eiou'afriend, a merchant of [he old school, had como homo a couple of hours before wiih "Tho Wealthy Cittzene ol Philadelphia" in his pock¬ ei. Wife, daughters, and 8O09 believed the re¬ cord as fully as they, beheved. the .Bible—more entirely, ifaction is ony lest of faith. Such a furbiahing up as there had been ! Such a quick asgpmption of new imponanco ! My wifu bad on her best cap, and—must I aay it f—ht-r^now brocade ! The gold watch, ihai sho had found il too much trouble to wind up daily, noiv pro¬ truded from htr pocket, while its heavy gold chain and seals were displayed to the most im¬ posing advantage. 'Like mother, like daugh- lers." is all I need say m regard to the girls.
There vvas a cloud ou my brow when leat down to lhe dinuer-iable. No wonder, you will say. None in the world ; for ihe insulting words of my son were atill ringing in my eara and smarting on ray heart. My wife and daogh- iL-r tried tobe very agreeable ; but I was eruaty, and ihrew sufficient eold water on iheir fine en¬ thusiasm. Aa wo were about riaing from lhe table, Edward said lome, with a cool aesurance that, under the circumBtancea, fretted meibeyond measure— . ,
" I told Mr- G —, this morniug, that he
could supply my place." "What ?" I exclaimed.
¦' ru ncvcrmake a merchant," said the fel¬ low, with nil imaginable composure; and I see no use in wiisiing ray time over dull account* books of soiling my hands with dirty cofFee hags and molasses hogsheads.''
Tm afraid I usod rather unaeeming words for the head ofa family, in ihe presence of his fam¬ ily, and applied to one of hfs Iamily. My mem- raury isn't very clear about the matter, and I don't care lo increase its lucidity. I was angry, without doubt, and spoke under strong exciie- mcni; tur my mind had been quite easy aboui Edward since his entrance into the counting- room oi G , where I knew his mercantile
education would he thorough.
" Never make a merchant !" "Diny cofTee- bag9 and molaeses hogsheads !" "Dull account- books 1" Thia was hondsoma talk fora young man whose father was a merchant, and who had been among account-books and dirty molasses hogsheads since he waa a boy.
"And what do you e-xpect to make ?'• Tasked, afterl bad cooled down a liiile. '' what do you imagine yoursell fit for ?"
I'm going to study law.*' How aell-podses- sed thc young rascal was 1 Wiih what an otr of superiority tg common flesh—such as his lath¬ er was made ol, for inaiance—did he erect his effeminate person !
"Law!" There wasa biuer aneor in my voice,
"I don'i tbink ihisisjuatin you, Mr. F ,'*
now spoke up my wife. "You should be proud ol Edward*aambiiion to aliuin a more elevated position, and encourage raiher Ihi him.''
This from my wife, and in lhe presence of our young upetart I How did I contain myself ? A more elevated position ! What a bitter insult to me ! Conscious that I waa getting blind wiih passion, I arose abruptly from ihQ table and left the house, Viewing in my heart that, until Ed¬ ward %vould return to the store ofMr. G ,
I would cut off" his supplies.
Vain purpose '. lie did nol return and hia sup¬ plies were not cut off. His mother was on his side! In due time he entered the office ofa legal gentleman of some standing, and pretend- Ld 10 study law.
¦'What's ihat on your upper lip ?" said I to himonc mornine not long after he became a law-student, ae we seated ourselves at the break- fasi-tuble. I spoke in all innocence, for 1 really iboughi hii? iip had become accidentally soiled. He colored slightly, smirked a liule, glanced towards his molher and aislers, and ihen weni on wiih his breakfast. I looked closer, and iho truth flushed on me. Ii was an incipient, downy moustache. I felt a Ecnsaiion as if cold water were trickhngfrommy head to my feet. Was it conceivable that any one with my blood in his veins could be auch a fool !
"Don't let me gee you with thai dirty hair on your lip agoin !" said I to him sternly. " To
think thai aeon of George F would hang
out a sign to lell the world ofhis lack of brains ! Faugh !"
But the downy lip darkened daily, in spite uf alll could eay, giving a sickly hue and expres¬ sion ot silliness lo his girlish face, that could on¬ ly inspire, in the minds of all sensible persona who looked upon him, a feeling uf contempt.
Oh, how mortified—how disgraced I did (eel i The next step of ray young gentleman, whose eense of personal dignity was hurt at the idea of becoming a merchant, was to purchase a dog ; not afine, generous Newfoundland, or a little springing greyhound^ or a beautiful King Charles for a house pet. No, none of these, but a con" temptihle rat-terrier ! Rat-killing wos now, for a while, his pasaion. Juat imagine my feetiags, if you can, on reading;, one morning, omong ihe local iteji;e in a daily paper, ihe description of a rat-killing match, in which Edward F——'s dog, Dick, won a silver collar for killing lho largest immber ol rale in agiven period. I laid aside tho paper, and caught my breath several times before respiration went on easily again. And had it come to this, tho aon of George F a rat-dog fancier 1
Dick never aaw the aun-shino of another day. That night, after Edward was aaleep—ihe dog always slept in hia room—I enticed the Utile wretch from his snug quarters, knocked him on tbe head, and threw him, silver collar and all, ¦ down thc sink. My agency in his disappearance | was, I could see, suspected; but I did not auf- | fer myself to be qaeslioncdon the subject. It he had lost a human friend, Edward could nol Hava mourned him with a deeper regroi. This angered me not a Ifttle. Another dog waa aoon procured, but I had made up my mind to have" no raore rat-terriers about my house', so he had to depart. But he was boarded out, and, al- moBt any doy, could be seen taking an airing with his master on Chesnut Street.
The downy blemish on Edward's face grew, n apile ofall I could say, and is there still. Ho haa been studying law ever amce, but he has not yei ventured lo apply for admission to the bar; it would bo of iiiile use. He doesn't know half aa much of law as I do. In fact, to tell tho plain truih, he has become a "nothing.'' As I am worth, in his honeat belief, iwo or throe hundred thousand dollars, and, as I cannot live always, he must, sooner or later, come into the posaes¬ aion of fifty or aixty thousand dollars in his own right; why, ibea, should he loil his hands wiih labor ? I try lo bring him to his senses by with holding money, but his mother eupplies bim liberally. 1 talk of the disgrace ol idleness, the mcanneaa of spirit that would consent to be a drone in the hive ; I compare bis hairy, ainmal face with the unclothed coutonances of Wash¬ ington, Latyeite, Bonaparte, Waher Scott, Wellington, Webaier, Clay and hosts of others whose grcal achivements are a part of the world's hiatory. He curls hia dJrly lip in dainty comempi. Heaven help me ; I fear hia caae is hopelesa.
"What more ui George i" you ask. Well, his siory is >oon told. Kronk & Liston invei¬ gled him inic- lheir concern, in spite ofall 1 could say. In doing ,o. however, they mistook George F-—, Sen. Thcy fully counted on my aid, but ihey were in error. 1 never loaned them a dollar, nor mdoraed a slip of ihuir paper ¦Tiie fact of having introduced my aon imo theii firm gave their credit a temporary mflotion, bui they were hopeleagly involved, and six montha ago, failed for lwo hundred thousand dollars, ahd did:hot pay flfty per cam. George is a clerk again, with some experience, but deeply morti¬ fied, oppressed and disheartened by tho consci- uusnesa of commercial obligationa he never can hope to pay. He gives me httle trouble now.— Edwar4l'e foppery and.idleness he deapiaes, aud is not, therelora, in aay danger of becoming a miserable drone like hiffl, held by all, whose regard is worth enjoying., in uitor contempi>
Ah 1 If. my troubles went no. further, it the reputation of being a "wealihy ciiixen" had en¬ tailed iio deeper curse upon me 1 X bava yot Baid DOlhing of my daughiers, an(i J have the heart lo eay but liule. The mumem it became Jinowa tbftt J[. WOI powsMd of eo Iarg* on tataief

It was soon B'gay round of party going, and atiendanco-at plae'eB of fashionable amusem'ehr; I heard more of operas, fashioni- equipage, and dreas in a week, than in my whole lite before.
Then there was Mrs. A *a"8et," and Mrs.
B 'b •'receptions," and such thinga ad nau¬ seam. Oh, dear! How Isickenai tho coniem- plaiion !
The upshot ot all thia was tho marriage of Julia, my oldest daughter—too old to have been caught by such a worihtesa fellow—to the idle fashionable ependthrift son ot a bankrupt father!
Ahl what « raiaiako was thai. They net up in grand aiyle, flourished six monihs, and now I have them both in my house, and both to sup¬ port. This ia bad enough, but it is worse lo eeo dn unprincipled yimng man breaking my child's heart by neglect and unkindnes?-
Ii has not been so bad with Anna, my youn- gCBl daughter ; and yet I saved her from a worse fate, by intercepting her flight with a whiakcrcd and muuNtachcd lelluw, who had the entree oi Mrs- A 'a aplendid m-nnsion, and waa a fa¬ vorite in her ¦'aee." It was afierwarda proved that he was a barber in London, nnd had left a wile and rhildrun there.
Ah ! How pleasantly, and uiih a good hope for (he future, was every thing progreeaing, when I had the misforune to be numbered among our "wealthy citiHene." How ail is changed and biaared now ! The reputation aiill clinss lo me like the Old Man of the Mountain lo the weary shoulders of Sinbad; and, ifl do not succeed in getting rid of tho false impression, I t-hall be ruined. Fifiy per cent., and more, havo my ex- pensea been increased, and atill 1 am scarcely treated with common civility at home, because i will not buy a large and eosily house, and fur¬ nish it ina style of princely eloi,'aiic:. I am the bird ihai can sing and won't sing, and that must be mnde to sing. I am a "Mcelthy citizen," depriving my family, through meanness, of lho poaition they have a right to occupy. George, lhe idle puppy, hia silly face made more ailly by the frizzled tow on his upper lip, who dlsgUBis me daily with hia presence, hasactually fouled hia tongue with the word ' governor" aa applied to me. 1 overheared him uae the term while in conversaiion wiih the huaband ol Julia. iVei- iher waa aware of my proximity.
