Blest br-wr^ehed, fettered or free.
Why should I care how your life mny be.
Or whether j-ou wander by land or sea ¦;

Oh 1 how ofteu at day's decline,.

To see from your lattice thc lamplight shlue ;
Type of a message that, half divine.
Flashed from your heart to mine.
Once more the starlight is silvering all— The roses sleep by the garden wall— ThB night-bird warbles his madrigal— And 1 hear again through the sweet air liill The evening bngle call.
Hut summers will vanish ond years will wane.
And bring no light to your window pane— Nor gracious sunshine, nor patient,rain- Can bring de.ld love buck to life again— I cnll up the past in vain.
My beartis licav.v, my heart is cold, Aod that proves dross which I counted gold; I watdi no longer your curtain's fold, ¦J'lie window Is dark aud thenlghtls eold, .\ud the story forever told!
THE HEEMIT'S YEAE.
•' There is your letter, Editli,—a very good letter; jiistsuch a letter .is ayouiig gentleman very mnch in love might be expected to write. Fine phrases cost very little to, young men of average intellect j^anU-I unisc say for our friena Charlie CourtUuid, that his liave thc ring of true metal about theni. It's something to be ablo to believe what a man sa.vs uow-a-days." Saying whieh, Mr. MaitlanU folded with great preci¬ sion the letter he had beeii reading, aud returned it to his.daughter.
"And what am I to .say to him in re¬ ply, papa?"
"Say tohim, mydear'/ why, what would J-ou say to anybody who proposed to share five aud tluee-pence a duy with 3'OU for life '."'
"Hut it's not ih-e and tliree-penee," .said Edith, blushing, but boldly.
" Then jt was until very lately; and it cin't be much moro now. .Say what you like to him; and as he's a gentle¬ man ill every seuse of the word, refu.se him like a iadj-. That's what you meant todo, I suppose?" But instead of a ready answer, Edith JIaitlaiiJ huug her head; and her father kuew, though he chose lo assume ignorauce, that that was hot at all Editli Jlaitlmiil's iuelina- tion, whatever her intention miglit have heeu.
Presently the old gentleman looked at her again, imd nothing certainly ever afl'ected Mr. Slaitland more.than a do¬ lorous expression on his dauglitor's countenance. He had very little sym¬ pathy, uot much feeiiug, not an atom of sentiment; but he had a great idea of the fitness of thiugs; uud Edith's face is the .very worst uackgrouud. to Ut gloomy picture that can well be con¬ ceived. A diamond looks well upon vel¬ vet grouud; and rude contrasts, where tho object to be exhibited reijuires to be strikingly set off, are all very well. But where it is not so, — and sorrow is sel¬ dom the hotter for being displayed,—the less violent the contrast the better.— Charming blue eyes, a fine red and white complexion, golden hair, glistening'lit- tle teeth between coral lips, and an aniaz-: ing amount of dimples, go badly with: teara or frowns, and find no roomamong •them for melancholy. He was sorry to see that her inclination did not, as usu¬ al, go with her duty.
" Charles Courtland is a person for whom I have the greatest regard, juy dear cliild; he's a very exoell'«it son, I believe, and soldier, but iiot equally well calculated for a soa-in-law. Be¬ sides, he's » bad memory, Edith." "How so, papoi'"
" He has forgotten a conversation we hiid on this subject." '   'That's hardly possible,   I should think," said Edith Maitland, hot cheer- Mly.' •¦  .      •
"Tljen he either thinks that I am given to change my opinion, or that I dp not clearly express my real oue. — Now that's Hot so, my dear child."
" I never knew yo'u do the one, nor fail tq do the pther." ' Aqd the absurd necessity.of tl}e confession gave alittle tlijge.df the Tidiculbus to so aii unusual ain as^eiit.. f'But I don't understand i'Otf.V..',: ¦   - '   '
".Vou do me upxuore than justice, aud I'll-explain. About a fortnight back conversation- tnrqed between Charles dourtlapil llnd myself Into a channel of thiskind. Mind, mydear, it was not literally persoiial as regards you and liimBelt; hut I had aij idea thatit might heijome so. ha you know ¦vvliat I told him?- I told him I valued your happi¬ ness (we put it hypotlietically, you know, fqr (JeeeAcy's sake) too highly to letyQu'njarry any oue witboufc a mod¬ erate income; and a certain sum of mo¬ ney at command,"
"Xlid you indeed say that, papa?" inr|uired Edith, reddening, half with shame and half with anger.
" Indeed I did, my dear: and what's more, I meant it." And here old Mr. Sfaitland refreshed himself with a good pinoh bf snuH'.
" Butwhat need to proclaim anything of the sort to^to—a young man, who—" "What need, indeed, seeing he is in- oapableiof¦understanding a hint so del¬ icately conveyed. AVhy, it was to save you" the inconvenience of having to au- HWer some such letter as this. Aud, Edith, in order to avoid mistakes, I put the figure at what I considered your.-l lowest value; and which, I'm sorry to say,—well! mydear, don't look so very reproachfully at me, for I ara sorry to say,^is far.beyoud our friend Charley's roostsaugulne expectations. I told Jiim that, indepentiy ofa profession, ayouug lady situated—well, 1 said situated—as ybu are ctjuld never many, wltli my consent, under ten thousand pouuds." "Ten thousand pounds!" repeated Edith, with her eyes opeji, aud iu which a tear, partly sorrowful, partly irascible, began tb appear. This ccrtai uiy waa au e.»tiinate of lierself which w.is beyoud the ability of her friend Charlie, at all events for^me years to como. Then thtj old«8e«rtchman coutiuuod.
'¦ -YesfXitold him teu thousand. Kow niy.dewijilou'.t he uureiisouablo, but lis¬ ten to me." Aud.aa she was by nature obeateul,' iiistead ot leaving the room for tfprlvate dry,—¦jvhlch is the correct thing tb dffbeforeif lieart-hearted father, —shesatdbBrti'ln the chair whieh she had lately fluitted; tVCertWii&i papa, if you wish it." " Well, J dp, just to make, things pleas¬ ant. ¦ I've just twenty imiuuttis before' I go into th^ city aud I'll tell you all ^bout it. I'm Bure'you'U see the mattier M'ith my eyes'before tfiat time." ' ' " Perhaps 1 may, papa." And Edith had .quite resolved that' it as little bc: came Mr. Maitland's daughter to change lier'mlhd, as Mr. Maitland himself • buf she did not siiy so iniich about"it.
'! You've been brought up,' ii)y dear, In the enjoyment of cpnsiilerable con^- fprt. You have a good hoijse; a car-' r nge, 4 inaid, good society, occasional oh^pgej and as n^any bohnets as are good for you, to say nothing of a fijir al- r lowance ofiUqerty and pocket money. You 4o4't go to -the Queen's balls, you've no't the private entree to the park, hor a dlatoond necklaco; and you've only aa obcaalonal opera-box: these htstare luxuries.'! w Edith wsented j "I know how happy ' I am at home, papa: mi how kind and gooii yoij arp to me.''  . ,

"He was (jvcr fifty, papa; besides, ¦after all, he never really proposed."

" Who abused all his acquaintances, and positively made one hate one's fel¬ low-creatures with a bitterness incom¬ patible witKlpve for anybody.- Surely, papa, yoit ¦wouldn't compare Charlie Courtland wftU'jthese men."
" Certainly uot, my dear; they could have given you wliat you eati't do with¬ out, and he canuot."  ¦
¦ "I did n't think your views were so raei'cenar.v."
" Mereenarv! Courtland bus his pay, and two hundred a year. He told me so.

Edith laugheil iu .sj)ilc of hei-sell'. -
"Now you see your existene3 niiist depentl upon soniobody's tieatli, at least what you havo been accustomed to consider cxi.'itenee; and us to luxuries, well, tliey can't lie in-oviilcd under a couple of funerals. Vou 'II have ftye thousaud pounds the day jou marry, tind all I Iiave in tho world tho day 1 go out ofit, whoever you nmny, as long' as he 's an honest man and a goutlo- nmn." The tears did lind their way iuto Edltli's eyes again, in spite of her¬ self., " Cliailie Courtland is a gentlii- man, and an honest man; but you sec he can't marry you, my dear, on five thousand pounds, though ho certainly shall, if you M-ish it, when ha eoiijes with another ten to add to it,—and then I think it ought lo be till settled upon yourself."        ¦ . ¦ ..
So spoke Mr. Maitland,—a very odd sort of person to look at and to talk to, but quite an average sort of father after all,—not luelodramtitic, perhaps, but good enough forgenteel comedi'. What he said he generally said- in broad Scotch, which must lie imagined. He was eminently practical,—diil say ivlnit he meant, and stuck toil.
Ill person he was just llie man wlio would talk aud ;ict as Itc iliil. He wtis shoitaiul wirv, with a thin siiarp-fea- tured face, liglit liair,now turninggitiy, sliort aud wirj-, too, anil brushed up, so iUi to represent llic ciiai-ncterislics of a terrier dog. He w;is .strictly neat ill dress, and-rigid in Ibc ]ierf()rinaucb and exaction of duty. -He whs fond of money for the nuke uf thtit respectabil¬ ity of position wliicli. it gave, but he cared nothing for it beyond that point, kuowingth-at tlie loftiest trues are the first to be struck- by-lightning, and that the higliest towers fall with the heavi¬ est crash. He was a merchant of the city of London,—an lioucst one, a rc- putiible mall oti 'Change, one who had saved something, tind. whose name mado paper valuable. He had no xiasi sious,—that was oue secret pf his suc¬ cess. Hfe had one inveterate abomina¬ tion,—a racecourse. •
Heavcil know.s why he coiiceiitrateil all his avbrsioiis upon tins uatioual.in4 stitutiou. Had he ever been forestalled with a Derby favorite, or had bn^ whicii broke a bloodvessel inimediately, before starting, hail he been legged by a Wclsher, yr jiaid a trainer's bill, or been made to ride iu a racing saddle, or spent an eveniug witli a fasliiouable light weight, he niight have been for- gi-vert'forhis'juljane cappicCi- Bnt4ion(» ofthese things had ever happened to him. i\o, itwas one of those obsolete fancies which do crop up among old- fashioned peoi)le still. He had heard so much that was bad of it, such de¬ moralization among the little, such loss of dignity among tlie groat, that he be¬ lieved the Devil to have boen the flrst bookmaker, and Jinsom to have' been the scene ofhis earliest exploits.
"Now, my dear Edith, I'm sure we undcfstand each other," said he, kiss¬ ing her affeotlonately; "if you '11 or¬ der the carriage at five o'clock, I '11 come home early, and go for a drive with you iuto the How "
Wliat I said about Edith Maitland, as regards her persouai appearance, is, I suppose, enough. One canuot be eter¬ nally describing pretty women, pleas¬ ant as is the amusement, and various as are their charms, there must be some limitation. I always have a heroine, and Iialways make them a goodlook- ing as I pan. Edith Maitland is no e.x- ception to therule,—in fact, she's the prettiest womain that I know. It will be gratifying to'tlie lovers of iiropriety in literature, br to tlio adtuirei's' of the French drtiniatisls, the only true Uni¬ tarians, (o know that I am not about to Infringe upon classic rules to any great extent. The action of thi^ ill tifrstory is comprised in a -vifeek. -The day on whicli the .-ibpYo^'oonYersatibn ..tpok place betweeu Edith Maithuid aujrJtCer tathor, was Monday, the twentieth' Of May last, the day immediately p'receiiT ing Ibe'Sipsom meeting of thu current
year. '-'libnilflu wjis quite full, just wlitit it?alw^-s i!i upou such occasions. Not bnly.>yBt,e the habitues of town to be met witll everywhere, but lodgings wer& ta^eiis, empty, house were brushed up, chandeliei>i were uncovered, apij valuablb bits of ornameptal clilhiv stow¬ ed awa^' while the stjangefs remained, Long's antl Limn4er's,'and'alUio3telries of good repute were filled with both arms ofthe service oji leave, and legs a discretion, and every sign of the great national fete wiis to ,be met with be¬ tweeu Charing Cross and the corner of Albert Gate, at one time or another of the day.
It w;is about half-past tlve o'clock in the afternoon when four or iivo respect¬ able types of the young England school stood lit; tho comer of the Kow talking on the all-absorbing topic of the day. For it must be adinitteil, that wild its is the career of Beales, and great is as his reputation; not only he but even the chairman of the Tailors' Union, sink into nothitig on the eve of a race meet¬ ing. Why docs tho leader of the House of Commons submit to tlie postpone¬ ment of some great; question, such as the language of tho lobby, or the claims of a rotten borough, for au Olympic re¬ vel?. Because he can't help himself. Ho has taken the sense of tho house, atid the nonsense ir.vi beaten him. " I'"iat Dcvhla, ruat coeliini."
"Sad business tliis tilioiit tlie Hake, bore for his owner," sttys Tom Hatchett of tlic heavies, a-sort of -Bond Street soldier whenever he could get away.
"I don't suppose his owner cares a hit about it; he's matlo himself safe on :Vaubau," says Captain SnafHes, an au¬ thority on all suuli matters with liis regiment, which isjust now at Canter-^ bury, with the exception of liimself and il rather fast cornet, who has got liis first leavo since joiniufe.
" I dou't believe he's broken down at iiU," joins iu Speerwell, a laucer. ¦   " Nohbdy said he;had," repUed Siiaf- lles, " only a blooil,vc3sel.   It won't in¬ terfere with, his-running.   P -'s had
il telegram to say. he walked roundliia paddock and ate a quartern of oats as fcoon as he got in, and theii rolled iu his box, as comfo'rtayy its if hothihg had happened.   HTdw •dp,'Charlie'?"
'! Who told you that ?" says' ^ho'ther; —a fresh arrival! "I believe they'vii shot liim."
'fc'^^'ne- 'hfflfd'rbd," "saitl' he fP ¦ himself several times. At that-moment a very neat, unpretending carriage passed into tlie Kow at a foot's pace. "CliaTlic, there's your friend. Miss Maitland." He looked round, and just caught'sight of that youtig Ititly as the earriago lie- c;ime lost ill the crowd.
He had a letter in his .pocket, whicii madu Ilim supremely melancholy,- luelaiiclioly just lo the verge of utter despair; for if tol I him a truth which lie knew woultl lie rcliglouuly kept by thelady.- It was -a very gnoti- letter, notwithstanding. It ditl uol attempt to disguise fromhim that, if all things hadbeen ePnvenient, he would have beeu received by both father and daugh¬ ter with open arms. Edith made no great pai'atie of afTeotion; did n't talk about suicide, or hint dt. mutual ehat^ coal, or go in for a broken heart. She laid great stress on the necessity of obe¬ dience to her father, and said that, un¬ til the conditions he had insisted ou were fulfilled, she hail no hope Pf his yielding; without his permission she would not marr.v. She said a word or two on patienoG aud on hope; she did not say that she never would marry anybodj- else, but she i-,eal|.v ijieantitat tha time, a))d Oharlie C'oiirtli)ndgi(essed it. . .     '       '
As ho walked away from the coterie of agreeable friends hebttd.boen talking to,-he turned over her noteln his breast pocket and its conteuts in his mind. ''This cursed ten tlioiisund pounds," tho'uglit he. " How In thu world am I ever to have ten thousantl pounds until the governor dies? and I don't want him to die; lie's a very good fellow, a capital gDvcniiir to mu; besides, ho's only fifty-two, and iis hard tts nails.

Anil Charlie Imd got tit us far in a brown study, when-" Htillo, old fel¬ low '. where the d—1 are you coming to?'' said Poter Mayfair, a guardsinaii, gentloiiian, y'nier, liuayy belter, nnd rol- Ilekihg bachelor, a gi'ctit ffi.onij of Cliar- lie Courtland's, and alw-iys l'c.",dy with advice, or anything but ready money, for his friends. Heady nionoy, I mean ; for as to paper thero was not a iiioic lib¬ eral young one out than Peter. "Ouo would think yon were in love, or liad been backing the Hake at three to one."
'' But I l.iaven't. I.wisli I litid backcil Homethiiig likely to )yiii."
"All! I didn't kiinv/ Kfat wtis ypur game, Charlie. Vou've kept it; very quiet. Vauban will will; btit if .you're only K<5ing for a. pimy nr two, you'll have to pay pfeciou.^ tlctir fur it. Yini won't get more than six to four." ¦'".Sha'n't I? Well, that's no use at all.. A hundred and lifty to ahundred."
"No use at all;" says the other.— " That's just whrtt I say. You can't make money without some risk, you kiiow. And what the deuce can a fel¬ low do with il hundred and fifty when lie's got it?"
This sort of reasoning v.-:is very pillftt- ablo to the perturbed state of Cliai'lic Courtland's mind. Wliatwasthcii.se of a huiulred and fifty to him?
" And liow do you go down to Epsom, Charlie?" said tho fashionablePeter.
"Epsom? I shan't gp to Epsom."— And CharUesaye fi sulky lurch. '¦ " Not go to Epsom? ' O, come, I say, old.fellow!" And, hfter a prolonged stare of grutit astonishment, not; defi¬ cient in iiilelligeucc, " You're in love!"
"That's gootl. 1 suppo.se you think .every fulliiw that don't go to Epsom- is' in Ip-v'c?"
" I'm sitie thuy are," ajiswercd Peter, readily enough ; " and lots that do go, too: so you'd better come. I'lltpll you , wKafT^TTorTn'Bi'IV-cyotfffSWnVK**^ drag, anil I'll put you ou a good thing when we get there. AVhat' will satisfy you?—a hundred to one? Because I know something that's not quite a dead 'un at that price,"
" I'll tell you what, Peter; if I could pull off ten thousand to a hundred, I should be the happiest fellow alive. I am in love, old fellow, with thc most beautiful, the most charming, the most—"
" Yes, of course; so I conclude. All of you fellows are. When a fellow onee becomes spooney, it's astonishing how hazy his vision is. But you come with me. I've a shocking bad one at that price myself to five hundred; and ifhe gets worse perhaps I may let you have a huudred of it. Only don't tell any one."
"I wouldn't have it known that I laid a hundred pounds about anything, for half the world. Her father 'd never forgive it."
"- Then if you dpu't know it you ca;u split before Wednesday, at all events. I'll tell you all aboiit it then. Good-by; bo ready by 1U.30 sliiirp." And Peter Mayfair and Charlie Courtland went different ways.
Mouday and Tuesday were very anxious days for gentlemen who -were making up their books and speculating on further chances for -Wednesday. ^>i;pithlrds of.Jjondpn s'parcely slept at all,-/oi!r-fifthS'go£.but a very ffeverlsh nap- toward morning; a-nd these dream¬ ed (Jf Vauban, Marksman, Van Am- burgh, and the possible Rake, whose bloodvessel seemed to be mended again. But there are a select few who care no nmre foj- the Derby tlm n they do for the Wolung Cemetery, or auy other recept¬ acle fpr the dead. They never go near it; they htite the name ofit; they con-, sider tho turf a national disgrace; they believe all the three-year olds to be four- year olds; the Jockey Club to be a South Sea stock company, and the owner ofa race-horse to be an incarnation of the enemy of mankind. Old Maitland was one of these eccentric gentlemen who d.educed   universal   conclusions from

particular premises, thougli I suppose tie hardly called his singular ide.is Iiy so philosophical a name, ••
He had never boen to a race-course since he was a boy. He never seut any¬ body from his house to one; ho never w:ui asked, by any of his clerks or sei'- vanls, permission to iudulge'iii such a monstrous temptation, aud certainly, had he beeu a member of Parliament, would htivo annually opposed the mo¬ tion for the annual adjournnient. The Olympic gtimes, he stiiil, was a religious fesLiviil. at which there was no " ten to one bar one;" and the analogy bulwceii Ihat and the Derby was ridiculous, it not sotnetbing wors'c. Thc first part of his statement was true; it was a reli¬ gious festival. The secoml wtis not, for there was tm equivalent to the bettiiii ring even at Athens anil Corinth.
But we may as well returu to our hero and heroine. The former was exceed¬ ingly miserable, at letisthc thought so. Perhaps it's not surprising that lie should have felt so. He had cherished, a boidly founded hoiie th.at old Maitliiud would have done anything' for Ills daugliter, even to parting with a haiid- soinesumof ready mouuy. His argii- inent (if gentlemen in his position ever coudescuiid to ai-gumenl, butilappciU'S tu mc to he quite incon'siste'nt :With love)'was .somethitig after. thisTiind,: " Old Miiitlaiid must love sitcli a dttugt- ter almost lis much as I do. I'd give her anything ill .the world I htive,, ifl could get the chalice; ,Ergo, he'll think' nothing of j ust oiiougli to keep us going, say-fifteen, oi" oven twenty thoustiud'; and Svitb myi income,'and the use ofhis carriage, we might gfet on deuced well. Of bourse I should sell, ahd invest the proceeds iri' wine. Capital biisiuiss a Wine merchant's—iiuite a ditterent thing from any othei'." Then he, by au easy and natural ti-aiisition, ran over iu l^is mind the gchtlemanly, well-receivi ed wine merchants of his acquaintance.
Mr. W (.as T W— it occurred

Poor fellow! he remembered so well the way iii whicii he had pumped, old Maitland about a third Viirty, iuid how frankly tho pld mati had made his viuws kuown to his young.friend over a boltle of escellent claret jHJd some •Spanish olives. "No ybungi;woman in my daughter's position," said he, " pught to marry a man with leSs-than ten thousand pounds available capital, and the profession or business of 8/gen-, tleman." ' Of course Charlie had hoWeilf his head and solemnly said he thpu'glit' so. He did not think sp in hiS' ewfi- 'case; nobody ever does. He argu^' like a lover then, not like a philosopher. " You see," and herethePld gentleniiwi was right as to practice, and wrong ds to theory, when a man cau afford to givo his daughter a decent sum of' mouey on her wedding day; and means to leave her everytlilnj' at his death, he expects-an equivalent," .   ^ ^

My old go-yernpr woulil give iVtP aiiy- thing, but then he has nptliing; in fact he's very like me, and whijt I'd do for Edith. However, it's dp ijse maunder¬ ing about it; all I want to know ia, how I'm to get ten tliousaml pounds out of an allowance of two hundred a year, besides my pay."
It was a difficulty, most mun will ad¬ mit. Falling back on tho governor was about as useful .is falling back upon a heap of stones. He had not even an old ai}i)t, iipr a godmother; and though poisou Fesijs -V',bl.'y well under the careful management nf Itijs 'Ijnfddon, there wosn 't anybody to poison, esoepf iijg his intended- rathor-in-law. The wine bus¬ iness hadbeen the result of two cigars, aud|a very good mail-phaeton wliioh rat¬ tled past his window with apairof high stepping cobs; and city liie generally liad assumed a better appeariiiioe upou the arrival of an East End millionaire aiii} his wife, iu a particularly, neat ba- fouclie, tVP dpors off his own hbuse. Speculation is spcculijliqn, -\yhether on Epsom Downs or iti Capol Gmirt, and it was not till his unlucky walk in the Eow, that the possibilityof such an out¬ rage on his previous resiiectiibilU.y a.-; a lucky wager suggestetl itself lo his mind.
No\y Chtirlie wtus not a gambler; nor vicious iq'auyway. He wasn't iti debt norgUittonpiis,iipr ij 'wiuc-bibber nor avaricious; but lu' sadly wiintcd ten thousand pounds at this insment; tmd he swore if ho got it tl.isit he'd make a ¦good use of it. He never had hati more than a five-pound note in his life tit a time; and live-pound notes were no iise tohim now unless he put twenty of them together. If he wanted to iire- scrve his good resolutions, too, which,iu a nation of gamblers, did him infinite credit, he y^a-H most qiifprtunate, not only iq nis day, but in tin; companions he met with. As lie sauut'ered along the (Iti.y before tlio Derbj-, and the one after tiie rejection of his suit; there was but one topic of conversation from ohe end of tlie How to the other.
" Plauilit's a dead 'un."
" He'll come to the post, for a litin- died even."
"Done with you, .Jenks," and the two gentlemen booked it.
" They sa.y Wroughton had a sore back, when Van Amburgh beat him at Bfttli." • -   '     ,
" I don't care what Wroughton had, he must be better than Vauban by that running."      ¦ ,     ,    •     ,
" WeTlr-tUen, I'H^ell-yoa-what-IHt do. I'll lay you a thousand to a Hun¬ dred about Van, and you shal} lay me five to two about the Duke's horse.
"Done" iind "done."
" Nobbier, old boy, what's the best outsider?"
" What? to lay against, or to back ?" says Nobbier.
" O, to baek, of course. I want to lay out a tenner.   I'veonly one bet."
" Why there's Eitz-Ivan, or the Moor, or Roquefort," says Nobbier, mentipn- ing two or thred more, with the prices.
" Why hot Hermit, Chaplin's horse."
"Ha, ha, ha," roars Nobbier, "he's as good as boiled. Here, I'll lay you five hundred to five." And the price so frightened Charlie, that he went farther on.
Beneath the wide-spreading beech, almost opposite William Street, watch¬ ing the equestrians and pedestrians in the Bow, not much thinned (for Tues¬ day a'tEpspm, after all, is only meant for the very high and the very low), sat four young men pf what we call iu oUr intensesnobbisni the'ujiper ten, like the decern sestertiq, short for ten thou¬ sand, and as' Charlie Courtland' ap¬ proached the chair, the ominous num¬ ber would come into his head. Two of the four he knew, ind one of the two was Peter Mayfair.
" Andiiow dp ypu'know he broke a bloodvessel?" said one.
" His owner had a telegram," replies asecbnd.
"How do you know ?" says a third.
" Because I saw it," rejpina Number Twp, " and seeing is belie-ving." • "How do you know.the owner did n't send it himself ?" says Peter, upon which there was a dead .silence for a minute or two, and theii one of- the three, who-manifestly had been study¬ ing thepenny-a-Uners, and-who, conse¬ quently, could uot know much about it, ventured to state his conviction that " he never broke a bloodvessel at aU, but was doing hard work up to tlie last moment, and -was at tbat time at Ep¬ som, ready to startahd wiu ifhe could, only it was woll knosvii he could n't stay. Why was n't he at forty to one instead of nine, if he was all wrong?" " Now, Courtland, now 's your time; take tenllioiisand tP one," cries Book- ham.
" Don't do anything of tho sort, Chtfr- ic," says Peter Mayfair;^ "I've.done your business for you ;,ypii 're goiiig to stand a long shot. I tpld you I'd some¬ thiug good, and I'm going to give you a slice."-....'' , ' ,  .      -       .  '

Hav-^ ing crossed thc coui'-sf, wilh a curions .sensation, akin totlie bugitiuing of ty¬ phus fever, a burning thirst, a.sort of vertigo, autl bloodshot eyes, he came iti due time to the drag; and the fiivst sight did more towards restoring liiii-i to him¬ self thau anything else. There was Peter eating with ntuch duliliui'ation from a largo pltitefiil of pigenn-pio, and throwing tho hones, with an exquisite seii.se of the ludlcroiis,'.into tho woolly wig of an Ethiopian serewidei'.

And it'sa i;uripns fact iu physiology, that tlio possibility Of not getting thc nioney restored Clitir- lio Courtland to his senses, aqd a tpiio to his stomach. '   ¦

The week passed as such weeks do pass; the headaches of Tliui'sda.v were cleared up in time fpr the Qaks of Fri¬ day, and as Saturday oame opportunely between that and Sunday, the follow¬ ing Monday found everybody, all right again. Everybody, that is, nothing tp do -with the settling; of that all I oiiu say is, that certain scribblers ima¬ gine that they pay a great compli¬ ment to the aristocracy of England, when they notify tho fact tliat a noble-: man, having lost a very huge sum of money, pays it. This is one of those left-handed compliments, which is scarcely comprehensihle to iiiiybody but Lord Dundreary. "That noble loi'd, and other noble lords aiu} gentlemen, paid their debts of hpnpr, as raight nat¬ urally be expected, and the consequence was that on Monda3' afternoon Ptter Mayfair was once more ( for he hati his ups and downs) a capitalist, and Char- lieCourtland was a ten tliousand pounds man.
I dare say many men think nothing of carrying ten thousand pouuds about in their pockets, .but that'has irevcr oc¬ curred to mo, nor Ijad it to Charlie ; and with all these masses of tii(vor paper, these perisljable flimsies, wliioh fell'as if tliey mean flying away, lie was rath¬ er uncomfortable. I suppose that dclir cate texture, characteristic of bank notes, is metaphorical of easy decay.—= Such a tiling never cPuld have been meant to keep; aud their value may he estimated by the length of time such things have existence. Wlieu Charlie Courtland got his he paid the greatest respect tb the first few huudreds, and then began cramming the rest into his breeches pockets, as others had done be¬ fore hira.
j Tlio first place he -went to, from Tat- tersall's, was to Mr. Maitland's house, in Chester iStreot, not far to,go. His lieart was as full as llis pockets, and he had had the greatest difliculty in keep¬ ing away from the stroet till he coultl .satisfy all demands.
It was about Uve in the afteruoou, tuid when he reached the house the car- riiige was at tho dour. " Is Mr. Maitl.anil at home?" "Miss Maitland i.s, sir; but I don't know whethor masliiv is come or not." " I'd rather see Mr. Maitland, if po.s- sible," which seeuied odd to Jcames, but no wtiys unreiuionabic considering the knowledge of iilfiiiis which   had reached the servant's btdl.
Mr. Maitland was at home, and thougli glad enougli tu see Charlie, coulil hot help expressing liis surprise; thc conversation opened upon the weather, then it got to tlie Heform Bill, and then to the weather agtiiii; at last JNIr. Jlaitland- mentioued the cng.igo- nicnt with his daughter.
"Ml! just so, Mr. Miiitlaud. You have been made .icquainted with my wishes. I fear I was presumptuous; but—"

One of the most touching incidents of the death-bed is the recognition by parents and relatives of ti youtli and freshness on thu face of tho departed, and of an expression associated with sschool-time, boyhood, and thespiing of life. Harsh and hard-featured meu and women when lyiug at rest, luive little of the ruggediiess oftho ungiaciousness which they carried with tliKin throitgh the world.

Tho luiseraOre' Mert'iU recounts, tliat during t.ho first ye'a'r ofhis mini-steritil life he .received only four dollars and his board;" tlitit at the end of the seconil year " he found that his income had been, a trifle less than one h'uhdred dollai's.;" that, two years after'wards; his salary wasincreas- ed to two hundred ilollars ; but that, in the meantime, thc "expen.ses of a horsuanil carri'ige" on various circtiits, and of getting mttn'ictl, had bi'ought him .six hundi'cd dollars in'd.ebt. This career wius continued from bad to woi-su., The Iioor pruiielier was regularly aa- signe(l,attlieaiinu'al churchconfcicnce, tf) dift'eront and distant posts ; and hav- iiig up money to jiay his own and fani; il3' expenses, was forcuil- to sell his pos- .scssioiLs, ticcept charitable donations oi' clothing, borrow means' wlielcwith to travel andsubsist;anil thus, he'declarcs, "increase his .financial umbarrassmeuLs until it seemcid' to him that he- must sink and go'distracted." Finally, being toriiienteil by his poverty and debts into " iiidifi'ei'unce of duty," he " sought thc more Joyous aud worldly pei'sons for conipany to drown his trouble of mind;" and became guilty of the " careless and imprudent step" which lost him his rep¬ utation and drove him from his home.
It is not atall wonderful that a man of X{errill'.s'evident calibre sliould have gone distracted and committed an "im¬ prudence", under, such circumstanoes. The wonder is tli'At taore preachers in Jtttssacliusetts', VeMuont, and elsewhere in the KarttiouKt, i£re not unfreqiiently dfivi-n to do likewise. The treatment of the provintial clergy in that region Is generally scandalous. A village minis¬ ter without a groat deal of theexecutivc ability and tho persuasive-power of a Spurgeon, can hai'dl.y'existwithoutget- ting into debt. If his conscience or de¬ sires impel liim to fulfill what he deems to be the law of God, by taking to him¬ self a wife and begetting chlldron, it is so niucii the worse ior him in a worldly sense that eveifthP all'ectioa ot his su'f- furing household cannot always pre- .servc him from self-reproach. His •" p.iy," suoli asit is, is as accidental .and siiasniodiii tis the rovoime of apeddlorof a worn out patent. The conferences I'iU'cly provide him witii auytliing; and th'e villsige cbui'ch Ii,%s no fund. He ap¬ plies to the trustees. 'Those impassive ileticons refer him to insolvent debtors for pew ren t. Froni the latter, periiaps, he raauagcs to obtain wherewitli to tem¬ porarily .stay tite impetus of grocers'and butchers' duns. But sometlnios sick¬ ness jirostrates him. 'I'hon a conclave of stijury dciiqons " resolves" that from one-httlrtu oiie-lhii'd ofhis meagre sti¬ pend sliall be " tleductcd" while he is lying heliilcss, with a lialf-starvod fam¬ ily about him, in his-bcd.

THE LITTLE ¦rOYMAKBR.     ¦    .
On a warm dny in June, a widow was seen drawing awooden cart over a com¬ mon. In tlie cart was a little boy, whpse head lay on a cldan white nillpw. There was in his faee tlie Ippfr 0t\Wy3 of pain and sorrow.
For more than an hour the little wooden cart rolled aloug the path, and the poor boy looked rouitd on all the pleasant things to beseen on tliat fine day. Tlie liowers and birds, the 'blue sky and green fields, were all objects of joy to him.      '
"I'ai'don me," .saitl a lady lo the wi¬ dow; "1 have been looking at iyonr ilcar boy. llis pale but happy face litis qnitu won my heart."

jams bur faces often seem worn aud weary, and eveu oonvulsive to those wlio look on us iu that state. We do uot cast away the false face at night. Wo bear it as onr thoughts havo form¬ ed it, and our working existences, but at tile finish we aro doue with it.

The other children grow up to manhood aud wo¬ manhood, and suffer all the changes of mortality: but this one alone is render¬ ed an immortal child; for deatli has arrested it with his kindly harshness, and blessed it into au eternal image of youth and innocence.
We should always record our thoughts in aflllction: set up waymarks, that we may recur them in health; for then we are In otber circamstanccs, and can never rebbveroiirBick-bcd.views.
fortunate-a speculation, I may call it —lias placed ten thousand pounds at my disposal, independently of my commis¬ sion, and I aui come to lay it tit Miss ^Iaitland's~ feet.
During this speech, the old gentle¬ man's gooseberry eyes had expressed as much as they could express of anything —wo may call it astonishment. And when he recovered his breath sufiicient- ly to speak, he said, or rather gasped, "And the security is good, mydear Charles—for let me tell you, in the mer¬ cantile worlli there are scoundrels as great to be met with as on the turf itself. Tho security, my dear boy, what is this speculation of yours ?"
Charlie was not a man of business, exactly, but he seems to have under¬ stood human nature; for he immediate¬ ly spread upon the table, before the as¬ tonished goze'of old Maitland, the pro¬ ceeds of Hermit's year. They didn't stay to coiint them; but in a-few sec¬ onds, having assured the old gentleman tbat that was the amonnt bf the notes on the table; he;was.^'iii3Ieced into tbe : drawing-room to niake his. own esplan-

A SwiSEr Temper.-No trait of uliai- tictev is more valuablo in a woman than a sweet temper. Home can. never be made happy without it. It is like tbu flowers that spring up in onr pathw.-iy, reviving tmd cheering us. Let a man go liotiie wear.v and worn by the toils Ofthe dti.v and how soothing is a word dictated by a good disposition? Itis sunshine falling ou his heart. He is happy, and the cures of life ure forgot teu. A sweet temper has usoothiiig in¬ fluence over the mind of a whole fumi¬ ly. Where it is'fouud in thc wife and mother, you observe kindness and love picdominating over the natural feeling pf a biid heart. Smiles and kind words characterize the ohildicu,aud peace and love have IheirdweUing there. Study, I then, to acquire and retain a sweet tem¬ per. It is more valuable thau gold ; it captivates more than beauty; and to the close of life it retains ull its fresh¬ ness and Jiower.
"My daughter," said a fond and af¬ fectionate mother, as she gave the part¬ ing kiss to lier child, who Avas leavlug the home of her childhood, to go amoug strangers as a teacher: " Let Virtue be thy priceless jewel; Truth, thy firm friend; Piety, thy daily counsellor; Modesty, thy bosom companion; Kind¬ ness, a_welcome visitor; and Neatness |-au every day associate. AVith such friends to advise and guide, thy path through life will be strewed with no re¬ grets." ,
