CHF HISTORY oF 4
BELLOWSMENDER,
Written by himself.
The history of my life is made un
whimsical incidents, Condemned to ob-
scurity by my birth, I owe my elevation
merely to the perverse caprice ef others,
I was born in a little hamlet in the
neighborhood of Montelimar. My father
became very poor in his old age, and was
at last obliged to betake himself to the
business of bellows mending, which he
bad learned in his youth, this profession
then, humble enough truly, was intended
to be mine. Content at first to work under
my father, I lived with bim until | acquired
more skill than he had, and then | become
eager to exhibit my talehts upon a larger
theatre: . 1 made one excursion scarcely
beyond the gates of Montelimar: | suc-
ceeded beyond my hopes, and that deter-
mined me to try my fortune in the world.
I had saved some money by my work. A
part of it I gave to my father, and then set
cut with the remainder for Lyons, I ar-
rived in that beautiful city ‘accoutred
with all the apparatus of my trade, and
announced myself and my business thro’
every street and every crowd. I was
young, handsome, and active, and my
success was complete. I was the favorite
of every chambermaid of the neighbor-
hood, and my ambition carried me no far-
ther.
1 was returning Lome very late one
night to my room—that is to a garret
which served the purpose of a bad-cham-
ber and granary ; when I was accosted by
four well dressed young men who were on
a nocturnal ramble, It was a retired
street in that part of Lyons called St.
Clair. One of them flung a jest at my
profession; I answered him with some
vailery wiuch [imagine was pretty sharp,
for they looked at me a moment with sur-
prise; then speaking together in a low
tone, I heard one say, «his is our man’
My blood did not circulate very well just
then, I confess, and it was very evident
that I was looking for the best way of
making an escape. One of them, to re-
move my uncasiness, spoke to me in a
very friendly and affable manner ¢ Perou-
rou,” the name they give to a bellows:
mender in Lyons, ¢ I suppose’ said he,
¢ you have rot supped to night? neither
have we ; will you sup with us? We have
an intention of doing you a favor that you
little dream of. We will speak with you
about it after supper; in the mean time
be not afraid, we are honest men. If
you wish to énter into our designs we will
only require of you that you keep a secret
which will expose you to no danger.
There was something very agreeable in
the tone of his voice andithere was sgme-
(hing very agreeable in Ins proposal. 1
accepted it.
Teach me above such thoughts to soar;
No such mean act to do; :
May I, when this ¢ poor play’ is o'ery’ =
A life well spent review. :
But avarice, all thy labor’s vaing
Thy treasure thou must leave ;
“And giory’s wealth, though tree from stain,
Will not avert the grave.
The hanghtiest monarch on a throne,
His pride to earth'must bow ;
The brightest crown that ever shone
Will not avail him now. -
And all those charms of which we’re proud
So transitory seem,
They're evencscent as a cloud,
And baseless as a dream,
¥
*Tis then alone, Religion’s power
Unfailingly will save ;
That soothes the last, the dying hour;
And looks beyond the grave.
THE TEAR OF CHARITY.
There’s nought in bature can compare,
With woman’s melting eye,
When raptur’d mercy sparkles there,
Envob’d in pity’s sigh.
The tear that trembles in its urn
At migery’s request,
Outshines the burning star of worn
On nmight’s expiring breast.
He sees in that sweet herald there,
A message fram above ;
And as she gives forgets his care;
And softens into love.
A Frenchman's understanding: of what is
meant by a good stand for business.
Monsieur being about to remove from
his shop, his landlord enguired the reason,
stating at the same time, that it was con-
sidered a very good stand for blsiness.—
The Frenchman replied, witha shrug of
the shoulders, Oh,’ yes, he’s very good
stand for de business ; by gar me stand all
day, no body come to make me ove for
de business.

The next day they went to work upon
me, and with the assisance of a train, ol
tailers, barbers, xc. I was fitted out
gallant trim. I was engaged at lessons
upon the manners of high life—1I bad also
to goback a little and learn reading, writ
ing, drawing, music, &c. I spent three
months in this way, and found the life of a
gentleman yery much to my taste. The
love of study became my ruling passion,
and as I possessed an extraordinary me-
mory, I astonished the engravers with my
literary progress.
It was necessary, however, that our
plan should be put in execution. I quit-
ed my desk and took a superb room in the
principal hotel of the city. The bellows.
mender had disappeared, and who ap
peared in his place, but the rich Marquis
of Rouperou, one of the principal proprie-
tors of the mines of Dauphiny. Under
this title I presented myself to the print.

chase a few elegant picces—caring noth-

good imitator of my masters, and had learn -
ed to handle my seals; to ring the hour
on my watch; to shew with an air of ab-
sence, the brilliant ring upon my finger,
of to open a splendid snuff box that had
the picture of phantasy uponit; that was
the likeness of a beloved sister. In short
I wished to recommend myself to my man,
and I succeeded completely. But there
was something more to be dome ; I must
not only deceive the father, but I must
dupe the daughter. While thinking of
the best method of accomplishing that
purpose, the printseller informed me that
he expected an elegant collection to ar-
rive from Rome, and begged that I would
call upon bim the next morning. 1 did so,
and found not the printseller, byt the in-
comparable beauty 1 was in pursuit of.
