And under this benevolent clause he gently pushed her out the room, and sat down in the chair she Ind occupied; after which, f asting a fiance at his dead un- - ie, he opened the bed curtain, ;md got up. Tie is dead at last! I shall be rich now.' No sooner had he pronounced these words than he withdrew a bunch of kevs from under the pillow: rati to the desk 'in which the will wa contained: opened it and hfgau reading, 'I constitute my nephew, Algernon Slopcr, sole executor!' 'It was time!' exclaimed the heir. 'I am entitled to what the law and society acknowledged fy rirrhi.' And Algernon, who. for more than two years had fear.-d that his uncle would forget him, continued thus: 'I will, (vc to rnargarct and Joseph the sum of i.2000 each, for the care bestowtd en rne by them during thirty years.' 'Two thousand pounds each to these pcopls. w ha are rich enough with whst they have stolen.' ha, folly! Come, ibis is hut an old man' madness.

I wish this sum to be added to the fortune of Mariana, his daughter, and my godd ojnhter.' Two thousand five hundred pounds to that fellaw Martin! an old notary, retired from business, whr hss srt a handsome house at Kensington! What can be the meaning of thi? It is a loss at cards, ptuhaps, to Martin, which my uncle has been ashamnl to name. Oh, uncle! the stery was true. This i will certainly not pay. I will pee Martin, and make him understand the disgrace that woidd infallibly befal him were he to accept such a legacy: and if lie persist, we will go to law. Mere still' exclaimed the heir, turning the leaf over. I bequeath '5000 to Miss Chesterfield, daughter of a brave officer, killed on the field of battle, whom I do not wish to know want.' 'To her! Why the cross-crained liirt has rejected me! She shall not touch a penny of it. Ah! here's another pro('.ger.' 'There is now living in London a young barrister, whom my nephew Algernon knows perfectly well. lie is poor, but virtuous and talented. I bequeath to the said Edward Ingestrie the sum of 15000.' 'Five thousand pounds!' exclaimed Algernon, throwing the will on the floor. 'Five thousand pounds to Ingestrie, my rival mv successful rival in the affections of Isabel Chesterfield. Never!" Algernon cnl up. approached the window, opened it notwithstanding the cold, and overlooked a landscape of beautiful meadows, on which innumerable flocks rvere resting. The Thames rolled his waters through the estate; and. further on were forests, forming patt of the succession he was entitled to. 'All this is mine now; the wool of these flocks; these forests; the produce of these fields: all belong to me by right. I am the nd almost the onlv relation, to the late possessor. Shall 1 defraud myself hv paying frivolous legacies' Suppose now,' said he, after he had shut the window, and resumed his seat near the lire, suppose my uncle had made no will ?t all, to whom would all these riches come7 To me .only; to tns they lawfully belong: and ail abstracted therefrom, is a theft at my expense!' And the evil spirits of avarice, cupidity and selfishness, look possession of this ungrateful nephew. lie forgot that ho never Lad been loving and dutiful to his uncle, but the reverse.

To return to the chamber of deaih. There was a knock. Algernon hastily shut up the desk, replaced the keys under his uncle's pillow, and opened the door. It was Mr. Martin, who came to look once more al his deceased friend, and give some instructions to the heir. T am very sorry to see you here alone, Mr. Algernon: but to he sure vou arc one of the parties most interested.' 'One of thd parlies?' said Algernon, eagerly. Yes! One of th parties.' answered the uotarv, with a piercing look- 'Vou will find a will.' 'Quite pos;h,'e, ' answered Algernon. 'Tis rcrtain, far Mr. Sioper told mi so last night, a few hours before his death.' 'Then it will be found,' added the heir. 'It is in that desk," sdd the notary, pointing, and your duty, Mr. Algernon, is to enforce its being, looked for directlv. All the servants must be present. Do what you think proper,' rejoined the nephew. The people in the house were called: the keys were withdrawn from under the pillow; the desk was opened, and the search of course, was of no avail whatever. The old r.oury, ordering every body out remained alone, with Algernon. 'It is impossible,' said he, 'that there should be no will, for your uncle engaged before me to make one, and he assured me. yt-shrrijy he had kept his word.' 'Do you suspect my lienor sir?' h is very strange that you should be found here alone; but I do not suspect any body's honor,' said the notary; 'nevertheless, listen to me. Your youth has heen dissipated; your uncle deemed it vicious. Many a time you have descrred the wrath of one, to whom, th ough you expected a fortune, your conduct wis such, two yea:s ago, that you were expelled from ids house! He would nave disinherited you, but I remonstrated that vou were the only son of a brother whom he loved, and of a sister-in-law to whom, he had promised to think of your future prospects. I was but teo happy to restore you to his esteem. Since that time you have behaved better, or, at least, you have appeared so to do. Cod knows whether your conversion has been sincere. Your uncle doubted it much.' 'Was my uncle s5 unjust!' exclaimed Algernon. T have had the greatest trouble to institute you his heir.' The old fox has not forgotten himself,' thought Algernon. The notary continued. 'Another per son was also mainly influential in promot ing your favor with your uncle your friend, Edward Ingestrie.' 'limpid' exclaimed the heir, surlily, T thank him n:.r 'Now let us suppose that this testament is not found, what will you do?' What shall I do!' answered the voung nan. 'I will enjoy my uncle's fortune.' Of course; but you cannot think that your uncle would forget such persons as his servants, for whom he always said he would provide.' 'If he had wished that,' said Algernon, he would have made the necessary provision.' T must now tell you a secret, which, most likely is news to you. Your uncle has a child!' 'Come, sir,' rejoined Algernon, jokingly, 'you calumniate my uncle, your friend; how's this?' I am in earnest, A:,' replied Mr. Mar tin, angrily. Uy a private and urfortunate mnrrirage he became the father of Edward Ingestrie, as he has been named, he is an excellent voting man, though, by his mother's fault, banished the parental roof until of late. Do you not menn to fulfil at Icact this portion of yoitr uncle's intentions?' 'Let that alone: my uncle would never have committed himself so far, I have ton much veneration for his memory t:i believe it!' 'It is a fact: and I can assure yon that many a time he has tnougni oi msmuimg th'i3son his absolute heir.' Nonrense! I will hear no mors, si!' The notary in?ifed en ho will rtfing preduTd.
The will!' said he, 'the will! where is the will? Perhaps ?it you are expecting a legacy.' The notary coolly replied, No.youaro we'd aware that I am satisfied with what I have, and do not covet more; but for the saka of your uncle's old servants, of Ed
ward, conduct yourself honorably; separate some fragments of your rich legacy. Be just, my friend, and' approaching the death-bed 'don't make me repent of what I promised your uncle. His intention was to leave to others a fortune which he was at liberty to dispose of 36 ha liked; I have calmed him; I have restored you to the favor which you had lost; now, if the will be not found, do fer others what they would have done for you, cr else I shall be obliged ts exact justice.' Affecting to obey the notary, Algernon opened all the drawers cf the desk, in which Mr. Martin suggested that the will ought to be found. You see, sir,' f-aid Algernon, you must have mistaken the meaning of rrsr uncle, or else he could nc have been conscious at the lime.' You are then certain, sir, that there ia no Will; So it seems: and you must v-oir be of the same opinion. We shall see, said Mr. Martin, open ing the door to all the persons in the ad joining room. 'Two years ago, Mr. Sioper mnde a will, which he deposited in my hands; therein"he disinherits his nephew, and acknowledges a young man of the name of Edward Ingestrie as hi? heir; I havo directions to enforce the execution of th:3 will, unless one of a latei date be found.' By a mere accident th nurse openctl the window through which Algernon had just viewed his flocks, and Mr. Martin perceived near it a small bit of paper, half burnt, on which he distinguished Mr. Sioper's hand-writing. 'Ah!' remarked the good notary, ' 'tu plain enough. Let some one instantly post to town, and apprise Edward Ingestrie of his good fortune. Are yju going, Jephson? 'Ti9 well, you sre an honett fellow, and to you 1 will confide also another charge.
