NYTIIING over to-day?" asked, with a significant and ironical em phasis, a young and briefless lawyer, named Kit Ilanimertoii, of another equally young and briefless "limb," Bill Bellendon, as lie sauntered into the hitter's rooms in Court Btrcet, which rooms had a very professional air a rusty grate filled with scraps of pa per, and cigar-ends, a tablo littered with law-books and sheets of foolscap, floor ditto, leather-bottomed arm-chairs, very crazy nnd truculent-looking, window panes that looked like thick cobwebs, nil as it should bo f!inua client. "Anything over?" he repeated. " Over head and ears in love and debt," answered Bollenden, that's nil. O, I forgot two dimes and a smooth quarter In the wafer box." 1 ' " ' ' : ' " And the governor?" ' " "Has departed for New York and Phil adelphia, to bo gone for three months. Ho has lot his town bouse, you know, and was preparing to reside at his country seat at B , was looking around for servants In fact. The grounds aro taken care of by his next door neighbor a gardener. : He thinks now he shan't be back till fall 1" "Of course lie came down handsomely before he left !" remarked Kit, whittling the tablo with his penknife. ' "Ho gavo mo a check for my quarter's allowanco in advance," answered Bollenden. "Have you drawn the money ?" " My dear fellow, I requiro it all to con solidate my debts." ' ' " What a stupid proceeding !''" "A necessary sacrifice. : My' creditors were pressing. I had to compound with them for the credit of the bar." ' "And I think you told me that not dar ing to confldo the state of your afl'airs to your father, you had taken up your lodgings on the sofa here and dine at a chcapeating house." " " 1 " " Exactly so, Kit." . " Umph, a pleasant way of passing the next three months, certainly." ' "I shall live liko a nabob for the next three months, and have a little cash to boot," said Bclleudun, triumphantly. "As how?" "You know just now everybody is mov ing out of town." " Yes, and you're obliged, thanks to your want of forethought and extravagance, to swelter hero during the hot months." "Listen. Will you?" cried Bollenden. " Hear what I have written." And taking up a sheet of foolscap, he read as follows "To he Let FuHNisnKD A genteel country residence four miles from State street, with fourteen rooms, furnished in modern stvle. stable, sranarr and large garden stocked with the choicest kinds of fruit near a railroad and omnibus station. Part of tho rent will be taken out in board bv the advertiser. Terms made known on application to W. B- , No., Build ings, Court street." " Zounds 1" cried Kit, his eyes starting out of his head. " You aren't going to let your own-father's house." That was my plan," replied Bollenden, coolly. "Why should the house remain empty for a whole quarter?" . "But the new furniture will be spoiled." " I shall only let it to ft respectable ton ant.", - . Kit remonstrated, but in vain. Bollenden assured him that stern necessity compelled him to act, and begged to inform him that his resolution was so unalterably fixed that so power on earth could shake it That evening the advertisement appeared in the Trantcript. The next morning a modest tap at Bellenden'a office door produoed an invitation to enter, and a highly respecta. hie old gentleman availed himself of the permission. He waa dressed in black, with a wbit neckcloth, wore a heavy gold chain and square, old-fashioned watch key, and polished shoe and white stockings, and carried a buff cane, with an ivory head,th very beau ideal of auold Boston merchant, " I called, sir,ln consequence of your ad vertisement in the Transcript last evening." Pray be seated. You have an idea of moving out of town ?" ' Yos, for three months only. I will drive out this afternoon and soe your house, and if I like it, and the terms are not too high, I think we can manage to make an agreement." "What family have you, sir?" asked Bollondon, with the air of a practiced land lord. ,i ' , '" . iv'ii i iJ " i. Only my wifo, daughter and self," re plied the old gentleman. " And you have no objection to taking me to board ? I'm not much troublo in a house," said Bollenden. " None whatever.' Tray what are your terms?" . . . . i, , . . i,, " One hundred and fifty dollars for the season that is three months. I will allow you five dollars a weok for my board that takes off sixty." , " Balance ninety," replied the old gentle man, rising. "Very well, sir, if I like the house I will call to-morrow, and pay you in advance.'' ... "Asyou please, sir." , . , ., " My name," said the old gontleman, as he took leave, " is Greyling, Godfrey Grey ling & Co., India wharf. Good morning, : " " Grayling 1 One daughter 1". cried Bol- lcndon, as he paced his room, " What if ho should be the father of tho glorious crea ture I met at Gloucester last summer. The idea of being under the samo roof with her almost drives me mad, and atones for much that I have suffered, and am still suffering. Grayling 1 Greyling I" His conjectures were correct. Greyling called next day, paid the rant, and receiv ed the key, and tho evening after when he went out to the villa, he discovered, to his delight, that Julia Greyling was no other than a very charming girl whom he had casually encountered at Cape Ann the pre vious season. , She was then visiting the place with hor aunt, and whether she was conscious of nascont penchant for our hero, or for some other reason, she bad forborne mentioning to her mother having mot a young gpntloman by the seaside, with such dear corsair expression, and such a sweet moustache 1 Of courso Bollenden did not como into town any more. Why should he ? He had no client there and a suit here which must not be suffered to go by default. What duets by the piano 1 what strolls in the gar den 1 what walks by moonlight 1 what rides at sunsot 1 It was a fairy existence. But in the sweetest cup of pleasure, are bitter dregs and coiling at the bottom of his beaker of bliss lay a serpent, the thought that all this fairy scene would soon vanish like a summer day dream. With the birds and flowers the Greyling would be gone he hnd three months of enjoyment before hiin. . Three months ! lie had not four and twenty hours. The next forenoon, Bollenden was stroll ing in the garden, waiting for Miss Greyling to join him, when the omnibus stopped at the door, and out of that omnibus a vis ion 1 of dread alighted Mr. Bollenden, senior. 1 ' - . 1 " You here, sir !" exclaimed the young man. . 1 "You here, sir !" exclaimed the father. ' How came you to think of opening the house? Did you get word that I was com- ing?" " No, sir, but I thought yon wouldn't dis like it." : ' 1 Not at all. ' You saved mo a 'deal of trouble. Servants here?" ' " "" "Yes, sir." "Well, v-elh let's get out of the sun," replied Mr. Bellenden, impatiently. "One moment, sir. I have some friends staying with me very respectable people, I assure you, sir the Graylings do you know them ?" he added, anxiously. " No, but I've heard the name." " I've kept you waiting," cried MIbs Grey ling, running down the steps of the piazza in a charming walking dress, "but I am quite ready now." She stopped suddenly and blushed on peroeiving a stranger. " My father, Miss Greyling." "Iam very happy to soe you, sir. Won't you walk in?" "Very hospitable." muttered Bollenden, " seeing that it's my house." Miss Greyling," said y6ung Bellendon, nervously, "I am very sorry that I must de ny myself the pleasure of walking with you, but my father I pray excuse mo." O, certainly, certainly 1 Don't make any apologies. I couldn't think of going now. Pray, walk in, sir. You'll dine with us, I hope, sir ?" . " I rather think I shall, young lady," an. wered Bellenden, senior, coolly. ' " You'ie dusty and tired, father," said young Bellenden, who dreaded a discovery, " Won't you walk up into my room?" "No, sir," replied Bollenden, senior, pe remptorily. " I want to see bow the drawing-room looks. With what taste your poor mother had she been alive, would have furnished it." And tossing bin hat on the table, he walked into the long drawing-room, follow. ed by bis son and Mis Greyling. , "My father and mother, Mr. Bellenden, said the young lady getting before him and performing the ceremony of introduction, Mr. Grayling had fallen asleep uncon sciously on the ottoman, and sank from sitting to a recumbent position. Ho started up, rubbing his eyes. ' , " Bless me I what a solecism I I'm afraid was vulgar enough to doze, Mr. Bellenden. 'm very happy to see you. My wife. Pray sit down, sir." " "Thank you, sir, I prefer walking about," replied Mr. Bollenden, senior. " Curse his impudence," he muttered to his son. Sleeping with his boots, on my cut velvet ottoman. Asking me tp bp seated in my own house 1" w. I ! ; ,i I . ; He's rather eccentrio," whisporod young Bellendon, "but most amiable of men." " My father," he said in a low tone, addressing Grayling, " is odd; very pecu liar but you mustn't mind him." ' "You will dine with us en familie," said Mrs. Greyling, a very amiable and polished old lady, by the way. i . "I intend to, madam, certainly," replied Bellenden, senior, who was strolling about the room, examining the furniture, and oc casionally changing the place of a chair, a oard table or a vase. . . i "Traveling makes one hungry, and as the country probably produces the same ef fect on you, I shall make no apology for ordering dinner." And he rang the boll. A smart man-servant answered it. Dinner directly Sara," said Bellenden, senior. James, sir,',' replied the man, with dig nity, and looking with an inquiring air to Mr. Greyling. ,. . ,. , , .. ' , " Servo the dinner, (f it is ready, James," said Mr. Greyling, smothering his indigna tion. , . , r "Confound his impudence 1" said he to himself. , ' Does he presume to givo orders to my servants 1" "Hang his insolence!" whispered Mr. Bellenden to his son. " Must ho toll my people what to do?" , Dinner was soon announced. Mr. Bel lenden, senior, offered his arm to Mrs. Greyling. Young Bellenden sailed in with Julia, and Greyling brought up in the rear. Mr. Bollenden senior handed the old lady to hor place with great gallantry, and seated himself opposite to her, to the astonishment, indignation and disgust of old Greyling, who would have brokon out in remonstran ces if his daughter had not restrained him Young Bollenden clutched his napkin in agony. ' Mr. Bollenden, senior, did the honors of the table with easy'nonchalancc, but all the other members of the family labored under a singular restraint, and the ladles sought the earliest opportunity of retiring. ' "Now, James," said Mr. Bellendon, sen ior, " the champagne 1" ' "Really, Mr. Bollenden," stammered Greyling, but the words fairly choked him; ho leaned back in his chair, and unloosed his cravat. The poor man looked quite ap oplectic. " James handed Mr. Bellenden a bottle the wire was cut the cork bounced out per versely,and smote Mr. Greyling on his rath. or prominent Roman nose. " A random shot. I beg a thousand par dons," said Mr. Bellendon, bowing. And he passed a foaming beaker to the irritated merchant. " I don't drink champagne," said Gray ling, testily.' " James give me some clar et." ' That's right, Mr. Greyling, call for what like," said Bellenden. " Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to see peoplo make themselves at home." " I should think so, sir," replied Greyling, drily, as he sipped his wine in angry gulps. " The collar is pretty well stocked, eh, William ?" pursued Bellendon, addressing his son. "And I beg, Mr. Greyling, you will name your favorites. What do you say to Bur gundy?" "If you desire Burgundy, Mr.Bollonden," replied Greyling, with dignity, "James will supply you." 'Of courso he will," replied Bellendon " Bottle of Burgundy, James." "You must exouse me, Mr. Bollenden,' said GreyHng, rising. " I would prefer to join the ladies." " Do not place any restraint on yourself. Consider yourself perfectly at home while you are here." " I do so consider myself, I assure you, answered Greyling, rising, "and shall do so while I remain, whioh will be till nex September." And he slammed the door behind him in a pet. Mr. James followed the example of his master. " What under the sun, William," cried Mr. Bollondon, when they wero alone, " could have induced you to invite such vulgar, ill-bred set here? Talk of staying till September, too 1" ' "My dear sir," stammered young Bel lenden, " he is a client, and promise me large business." "And makes up for paying heavy fees by quartering himself and family here for month I The old fellows impudence beats everything I ever heard of." " He Is certainly eccentric," said young Bellenden. "But if you knew him as I do, sir, you'd excuse hi peculiarities." : "Doubted," said Bellenden, senior. "But let u join the ladies. The daughter is pretty and attractive, though not, I am con trained to say it, over well-bred." The evening passed off pretty well, the tasteful performance of Mis Greyling on the piano soothed the trouble spirit of all her auditors. But when the hour for re tiring arrived, the unpleasant feelings of the two seniors wore revived. ' I trust you will pass the night with us," said Mr. Grayling, civilly. : "Why, where else should I pass it?" . "Very well, sir," replied '. Greyling. " When you are ready, I will light you to your room the blue chamber." I am very much obliged to you, sir," retorted Bellendon, " but if it's all the same to you,, I prefer to select, my own sleeping apartment" " Sir, I wish you a Very good night 1" said Greyling, taking up a lamp, and sweep ing out of the room, followed, by his wife and daughter. " Extraordinary 1", .growled Bellenden. Hang me, if I ever saw, road or beard of such immeasurable impudence?", . , .. The next morning, Mr. Bellenden, senior, was up betimes, and walking in hi gardon. He was soon joinod by Mr. Greyling, who appeared to have passed a feverish night. The two old gontlemen saluted each other Stiffly. ..,,!.,) " I hope you have passed a good night, sir," said Mr. Bellenden,. . ,r " I didn't sleep a wink," said Mr. Grey ling. "Indeed? I am distressed to learn it, "Mr. Bellendon, sir, it is very evident that, although, your son and I agree very well together, you and I cannot exist under the safe roof." , h .... . , , . , . " Indeed 1 Aud I presume," said Mr. Bollenden, Ironically, " that you are about to suggost the expediency of my taking up my quarters elsewhere. From what I saw of your conduct yesterday, I should judge you quite capable of suoh a proposition." " Mr. Bellendon, as a lawyer, you must be awaro that I have a right to make it." "A right to make it." "Yes, sir, but I scorn to do so, and I merely came to give you notice, that I shall vacate your premises to-day, leaving it to your sense of justice to record mo reasona ble damages." . , i . ' Reasonable damages 1" cried Bollondon, furiously. "Haven't you taken up your quarters here, bag and baggage ordered my servants , about appropriated what rooms you saw fit to your use cut boqucts out of my garden, sent presents of fruits and vegetables to your friends in town, acted, in a word, as if you were master hero, and now you talk of damages I" "Well, sir!" roared Mr. Greyling, Haven't I paid the rent in advance 1" " The rent in advance 1 You're crazy, old fellow But at this crisis appeared young Bol lenden, alarmed, abashed and penitent. He mado a full confession of tho trick e had perpetrated, and then stood, culprit like, trembling,nnd covered with confusion. The two old gentlemen eyed each other for a moment, then burst into a hearty fit of laughter, and shook hands cordially. The young scape-grace who had occasioned all the troublo was pardoned, and his father agreed to discharge his debts on his pledge of making a good husband to Julia Grey- ling. The young couple took up their abode in the Bellenden villa, and young Bel lenden Bays he at least made one good spec ulation. Wonders of the Universe What assertions will make one believe that in one second of time, one bcut of the pendulum of a clock, a ray of light travels over lua.UUU miles, ana would therefore perform the tour of the world in about the same time that it requires to wink with our eyelids, and in much less than a swift runner occupies in taking a single stride ! What mortal can be made to believe, with out demonstration, that the sun is almost a million times larger than the Earth ? and that, although so remote from us, a cannon ball shot directly toward it and maintain ing its full speed, would be twenty years in reaching it, yet it affects the Earth by its attraction in an appreciable instant of time ? Wo would not ask for demonstra tion, when told that a gnat's wing, in its ordinary flight, beats many hundred times in a second ? or that there exist animated and regularly organized beings, many thous ands of whoso bodies livid together would not extend an inch 1 But what are. these to the astonishing truths which modern optical inquiries have disclosed, which teach that every point of a medium through which a ray of light passes is affected with a succession of periodical movements; regu larly recurring at equal intervals, no loss than five hundred million of millions of times in a single second 1 That it is by such movements communicated to the nerve of the eye that we see; nay, more, that it i the difference in the frequency of their recurrence which affect us with the sense of the diversity of color? That, for instance, in acquiring the sensation of red ness, our eyes are affected four bundled and eighty-two million of millions of time of yellowness, five hundred and forty-oue million of millions times and of violet, even hundred and seven millions of times per second? Do not such things sound more like th ravings of madmen than the sober conclusions of people in their waking senses? They are, nevertheless, conclu sions to which any one may most certainly arrive, who will only be at the trouble of examining the chain of reasoning by which they have been obtained, .
