He caught the first accents that fell from

And joined m thy innocent glee.
Be kind to thy father: for now he is old,
His locks intermingled wilh gray;

May traces of sorrow be seen;
Oh, well mayst thou cherish and comfort

With accents of kindness, then cheer her

Be kind to thy brother: his heart will

a shock to the delicate nertiks of his

But as soon as he found that disguise
helped him not a whit, he screwed up
his courage to venture a bold push that

convert to the sentiiifcnt so epigram-
matically expressed by poet;
“He either fears his fate too much
Or his deserts are small
Who dares not push it tq the touch.
To gain or lose it all.”
Accordingly he laid himself out to

‘Try me and see.
‘I married money you know.’
‘Everybody says so at any rate.’
‘And everybody thinks so but me.—
There is plenty of money in the case

MISCBlfL AHBOU
MARRYING A FORTUNE.
HY GKOKO* C4NNINU HALL.
Full half of mankind will never get
thro’ searching up money-matches, for
themseves, until the other halfis done
with holding the money ; that, is a fix
ed fact, which no one will attempt to
call in question.
Tom Turnabout was one of the pen
niless ones. Not that it was, by any
means, the fault of his own, but it mere
ly happened to be so it was in his star,’
to lie poor. And what made the mat
ter worse, being poor per sr he waa a
barrister,—a situation rendered by all
odds exquistely distresiug for a brie
fless barrister is always short of of eve
rything from soap to suit
This was, withal, an individual of
more than ordinary attractions—so far
the opinion of the other sex went—and
upon this opinion he early determined
to found pretty much all his fortune.—
With his affable and excessively social
manners, it would have been no won
der at all if he did not have to under
go many a pang in the measurement of
his living by his circumstances.
At last, by one of those most unfor
tunate of the dice of chance which we
read or hear but rarely, Tom Turna
bout was married, and to lady of fortune.
It seemed to him as the fortune was
expressly accumulated for his use and
and behoof alone, and on his wedding
dav no man was anywhere to be found
who could make show of a larger share
of enjoyment in prospect
IVnttters went on well enough for a
time—as well, perhaps, as ought to have
l>ecn expected for the briefless barris
ter was now possessed of a comfortable
home, and assured of an excellent liv
ing, together with a young and pretty
wife: for Mrs. Euphrasia Tumabhut as
every lady said, was a very pretty
young woman. Her hair curled her
eyes were of jet black, her hands were
delicate and of lilly-white, and she
knew how to dispense the most gra
cious and bewitching smiles; how
could she be otherwise than pretty ?—
And if pretty likewise amiable I
At least, so thought for a time Tom-
Turnabout Esq, w ho esteemed himself
her liege lord and master.
Bnt there was ono thing that seri
ously troubled Tom, and that was how
to broach of coming into due (tosses-
sion and nmnagement of his wife’s
property. For this he liad married ;
could it be that he was no better off
now? The thought alone made him
giddy.
He went round and round' the sub
ject in his mind for a long time, at each
revolution only becoming the more
perplexed. At no single time dared he
to nerve his courage up to the effort
necessary to be tnade in order to have
the matter completely understood be
tween them. Euphrasia had never at
tended to ths subject of money, simply
going ahead and managing the house
hold as if she had fully resolved to
count one in its maaagement and class
ification. Tom had repeated hinted to
her about ‘deposites,’ ‘bank stock,'
taxes,’ and all the other minute appur
tenances to the possession of a fortune
but hitherto to just no purpose at all;
she neeened not revelation nor explan
ation,—least of all did she betray her
native acuteness of readily taking a
hint
Such a state af affairs was fisat wor
rying Tom Into a fit of desperation if
not into his grave, and he finally made
up his mind to come to an aaderstan-
ing in some way or another just as soon
aa practicable.
So long as it waa DeciaigQI to keep
the embers of hope alive, he had se
dulously svoided all his former ae-
What would 1 do ?
‘Yes—what shall / do ?
‘Nothing is easier,’ replied Dick.
‘I hope not,’ said Tom, but how shall
I go to work ?’
‘Have you broached the subject to
your better half.
‘Havn’t dared to she wont let me in
fact?’
‘Then run up a hill or two.’
Then what ? asked Tom, earnestly.
‘Have it sent in at such a time to the
house and be sure and not be at home.
‘I never thought’
‘.She’ll either pay it or blow,’ contin
ued Dick.
‘But what if the latter!
‘Then you’ve got at the core of the
subject, and you can go ahead after
that as circumstances will l>est al
low.’
Til try it—I’ll act your happy sug
gestion !
‘Why not at once ?
‘True : what will you have ? Shall
go into Carter’s and get one of his
nicest teams and take a drive out to
Spikcvill ?
‘You couldn’t have hit the nail more
exactly on the head let’s go at once,'
said Dick.
‘That waf ‘fast’ afternoon and it be
gan a new era. To besure it was a
step taken in the dark hut Tom hoped
it would lead to happy results and plen
ty of ready money.
In due time the hills began to come
in.
One morning the door bell rang it
chanced to be about nine o’clock.—
The servant answered the summons and
carried a bill up stairs to her mistress.
The bell rang again, and there came a
second hill. A third time, and another
bill. Mrs. Euphrasia Turnabout be
gan to grow alarmed.
Presently came along the dinner
hour. It duly found Tom Turnabout,
Esq at, home and at the table.
All during the meal, he unxiosly
scanned the features of his wife, trying
his very best to imagine her as feeling
supremely happy in enjoying the privi
lege of paying her dear husband’s hills;
hut he succeeded in reading no such
expression on her face ; he looked for
the slightest trace of it in vain.
It was too perplexing. There sat
Euphrasia, worth her fortune, over a-
gaiust him at the table—a mountain of
gold as it were within his reach, he not
able to pick off even a shiny scale from
its surface. She was as calm as a de
licious, cool, summer’s morning he on
the other hand was burning up with
disappointment and chagrin.
He declared within himself that he
could stand it no longer. It was a
few steps beyond human endurance.—
Better die at once than live alone in
this suspense.
So he at last meekly remarked to his
wife:
‘Euphrasia was there anything
brought here this morning for me ?
‘Yes, dear, she replied ‘there were
three bills for horse-hire, and confec
tioners refreshment and one thing or
another; but bdid’nt read them partic
ularly,—you know that’s not a lady’s
busines.
Was there a hill for furniture too f
enquired the agitated Tom.
‘Yes, dear, 1 paid that and took a
receipt but die others-—your personal
matters, you know,—those I carefully
placed in your esdritoire,, where you
can readily find them when you wish
to. Ijtope you do not consider roe too
intgfeihre in just looking at dffitn to see
wMt fhey were.
Tom was not possesssed of sny too
much philosophy, and this last serious
sally of his wife quite upset what little
he had. Swallowing his
fast as be could with safety
pushed ss fast as he couidnM 1
“ ■ mend
How now, were the bills paid I’
Tom explained the whole.
His friend admited that it would be
exceedingly hard to get around a wo
man who umlersood herself aa well as
as did his wife more particularly when
she hold the purse strings.
Tom gave it up altogether. The af
ternoon was spent by him in reflecting
u|K>n the extreme worthlessness of his
dependence for an independent living
upon another, and in forming a strong
resolution to go ahead and do some
thing for himself.
'Hie lesson he learned chanced to be
a most valuable one, which many a
married wife may at her leisure give
her husband, to his decided advan-
tage
Tom Turnabout, Esq., afterwards
turned out quite a respectable member
of his profession enough so at any rate
to be able to earn sutficient to pay his
carriage and oysterhose cores. Atho^p
he never knew what trouble meant.—

dress sitting by a window, waiting the re
turn of her husband, whom she strongly
suspects to be out on a spree.
Oh, where is he? who fondly used to
swear,
That 1 alone to him was dear and fain
That all the hours of joy he ever knew,
Were passed with me! Ah, me, I thought
’t was true!
It cannot be, he loves me now no more—
My features are the same they were be
fore,—
When first he said—but stop, he’s at the
door!
Lady assumes the attitude and appear
ance of a deeply injured individual, tears
flowing, hair dishevelled, die. Gentleman
enters, evidently somewhat “snapt,” al
though endeavoring to look particularly
sober. Lady changes her strain:
And is it thus, your gentle wife forsaking,
Y'ou spend in revelry the livelong night!
My trusting heart, long, long you have
been breaking.
Another scene like this, will end it quite.
Gentleman.
Forgive me, dear—I did not think you’d
wait,
You know that business often keeps me
late:—
Come—-don’t be foolish—dearest—do not
weep—
Shut down the window,—let us go to
sleep.
Gentleman rolls over on the bed, and
in the briefest interval of time snores ve
hemently. Lady, much excited, (and
with some reason) dashes about the room,
preparing for bed. Speaking to herself:
Forgive you, beast!—I will do no such
thing—
Wait till to-morrow—then your ears shall
ring!
How do I know where you have been to
night !
Business indeed! you’re drunk—you’re
stupid, quite.
But never mind ! Fll pay you off some
day,
My husband shall not always have his
way.
Lady having now finished her noctur
nal preparations, also retires to bed—
keeping as far, however, from the uncon
scious offender, as possible. Gentleman
sleeps aloud, (viz. snores) totally uncon
scious of the matutinal vials of wrath to
be poured upon him.
