lorced mm to earn the pittance for his pocket money- Peter was an apt scholar; at an early age he had actually put his savings out to interest; ami his father was so delighted at this trait that he doubled the amount to confirm him in the habit. The same night the miser died! Was it this solitary instance of liberality that did violence to his nature and destroj ed him. During a severe illness some years before,
old Benson had been advised to make his will;
and he had even consented to send for a lawyer, who having gone through the usual preamble, wailed for the client's instructions, but, after a long pause, ventured to ask the sick man to whom he wished to bequeath his property. The sufferer started up wildly in his bed, exclaim-
"Wish to bequeath! I wish to bequeath my property ? never, man. never! What! give my life's blood! my soul's recompence! and," added he (as if struck by the danger of having admitted to a stranger his possession of wealth) what have I, a hard-working man, to bequeath?" And so he died without a w ill, and Peter Benson found himself heir; and, as he thought, without any one to interfere with his administration of his wealth. But he was one morn
ing surprised by the receipt of a letter from his mother, whom he had been led suppose died
during his infancy; and of whom his father never made mention. Interest being the reigning
principle of this youth's heart, it was upon that he reflected ere he allowed himself to grieve
or rejoice at this unexpected news. His moth'
er's existence might be of incalculable value to him; for as a minor he could not take out let
ters of administration, and he dreaded having a guardian appointed by law. His mother be
ing alive, he understood, might render such a step unnecessary. But, is was said, she would
have a right to a share in his property. Of this fact he honed to keen her itmorant; but as he
could not deceive her as to the amount of wealth
would she not expect to be indulged in an expenditure suitable to it? And he groaned as he thought how this would diminish the profits of the concern. His father had vegetated (and
Ihatf sparingly;) he had never dared to
sa-
He had passed a restless night, half spent m
repenting of the bold measure which had plac
ed him in such a perilous position, when, on entering the breakfast room he found Marian
who could thus act, and thus argue never could deserve you;" and tenderly embracing her, the
fond father continued, "who ever will deserve you Marian?" In time to hear the close of this inquiry, Mr. Villiers entered the study; and had either father or daughter have looked at him, they would have seen one whose dearest hopes had been fixed on being at some future day considerd so, and whose altered looks and suppressed sighs showed how those hopes had been blighted by
hearing of her engagements to another.
even live.
Peter was puzzled how he should reply to his mother's letter without committing himself or his property. At length he thought it would te best to go to her; if she came to town, he might le expected to fetch her so the expense must be incurred; and by getting it over at once lie would be able to judge better of his disposition and capabilities to render an eligible guardian, as far as Ihe name went, of his interests during the minority the real control of them he intended should remain in his own hands
and he felt the coach-fare almost an excusable expense, as he reflected on the advantages to
which his journey might lead. His mother j was a poor sickly looking woman, whose spirit had been so crushed by oppression and tyranny that she hardly dared to speak to her own child. His personal resemblance to his father made her tremble; and it was not long before she perceived the resemblance was not only personal. He uttered no grief for his lost, nor j-y for his new found parent money, gain, saving, were all he could talk upon; and when on bidding her good night he said,
"Mother, I shall never die happy unless I be-

"I have been waiting for you, Mr. Benson, to; was unbounded, nor was his disappointment
lessened by hearing, within a few weeks that she had been unexpectedly left a legacy to a large amount, and had thus become one of the richest heiresses of the day. He hardly recovered from this shock, when the news was
brought him of a severe conflagration which had destroyed his extensive warehouses in
London. No one doubted that a man of his
caution, would not be amply ensured;they were
not aware of the extent of his parsimony.
Though frequently prompted to take this pre
caution, he could not persuade himself to pay money for that which by possibility might never make him any return.
Loss after loss closely followed on each other; and in every instance this hard-hearted unsympathising man could trace their origin to
some act of brutality or some niggardly con
duct of his own. His health became impaired; and he was nearly driven mad by the clerks in the counting-house sending for a doctor, whom
he refused to pay. He became unequal to the
daily calls of business; and having always been
the active superintendent of his own affairs things became worse and worse; all his under
lings hated him, and were but too prompt to take advantage of his imbecile state. The nervous fear that he was robbed aggravated the disease under which he labored, and he was hardly to be recognized, when he set out, for
the second time in search of his mother. His
appeal could not be rejected by that mother's
heart. His obdurate nature, his uncharitable
mind, were known to her; but he was her son,
and she allowed him to share the scanty pit
tancc he had in the pride of wealth and power,
almost grudged her.
The village doctor advised a warm climate;
and by the sale of her furniture and other ef
fects, his mother procured the means, and ac
companied him abroad. Every day increased his fretful discontented temper everv dav.
too, his bodily weakness augmented, and ere
they had been a month at Nice, where suffering
had obliged them to halt, it was evident his end
was fast approaching; and his mother became
anxious that he should see some clergyman,
who might even at that late hour,bring his mind to reflect on those truths of which he never
would permit her to speak.
Full of this thought, she one evening stole from his sick couch to make inquiries about the resident minister; but had the disappointment to find he was absent from Nice. Worn out
with the fatigue she had undergone, both of body and mind,she was retracing her feeble steps,
Iter tears flowing fast as she reflected how ter
ribly would be her son's last moments, depriv
ed of the only hope she had dared to look for to
render them peaceful by prayer and repent

Englishman, who had observed her dejected
assist my judgment as to the best and most ef
fective manner of relieving a poor family, whose distress is really heart-rending. My father's and my own donation of 5 each, may be of momentary use; and;" added she, "I have ventured to mark a similar sum against your name; but this is not all," "Not all?" gasped
Peter. "No;" said she (too much engrossed by her own benevolent thoughts to remark his
manner; it is but a small part of what I should wish to do. We must find employment for the two boys, who are old enough to exert themselves for the benefit of the others. Will you
not undertake this part of the business, Mr.
Benson? you must have many facilities for obtaining situations for the poor and destitute."
"None, I assure you, Marian; situations now-a-days are worth what they will fetch. No one
gives them away that is, no one who is not a
fool or a rogue to himself; besides I make it a rule never to pay attent ion to begging letters; and I have at last found the value of my resolution not to open any for now I am never pestered with them. Allow me to settle this matter for you." He took the papers from her, placed them in a blank cover, and on the bell being answered; desired that that letter might be given to the person waiting. "And now, Marian," said he, "permit me to request that on future occasions you will meet
such applications in a similar manner." Mari
an remained silent. She was too much hurt
and astonished to trust herself to speak; and fearing he had offended her, (the vision of her
50,000 stood before him) he endeavored to make some excuse by saying "all w ho listen to such idle stories arc sure to be deceived. For my part, I could not bear the feeling of being
made a dupe asthevulear call it, being outwitted." "But surely," interrupted Marian,
"because there may be some imposters in the
world, we are not to set all down as rouges; and if you return every appeal made to 'our charity, without examining into it, how often
may you not have sent away some deserving
subject, who, Had you known the truth, you would have delighted to befriend!" Delighted
to befriend! Peter Benson delighted to befriend the poor and needy! little did Marian
know the pang, the convulsive shiver, occasion
ed by the mere supposition of such weakness.
The arrival of visitors put an end to the dicsussion; but the thoughts of both parties dwelt upon this scene. She was sorry her father had
not been present, he who never turned away
from the poor till he had ascertained whether
their poverty arose from guilt or misfortune
he who had taught her that it would be far more conducive to her own peace of mind to
relieve two who might not be deserving than
to send one innocent victim away, perhaps to perish for want of that aid she could afford to give. Her father had told her -to search out the truth as well as circumstances might permit, but never to suspect (without examination,) guilt where virtue seemed possible. Habitual-

was he, who was travelling with his bride, his long-loved Marian, and her father) told her he

Benson's memory was rendered faithful by hatred and fancied wrong; and starting up in bed with the sudden strength of frenzy, he exclaimed, with a dreadful oath, "Out of my sight,

Their first operation is to loosen from tie
