Mr:?. Foresight was the daughter of Frank Flint’s sister. He had also a nephews (the son of his older brother,) a married man, with six children, who.hcld .11 situation and lived comfortably on his limited in-, come, not heiiu f ambitious; like his, cousin and her husband, of keeping up appearances aboyejus In many respects ho resembled the old humorist. When Frank Flint called upon him,-lie welcomed him heartily; hut when, in the course of conversa tion, the. Anglo'lmlian expressed his opinion thathc. “must he put to it” to.rapport so numerous a family, and thought that, before entering into matrimonial engagements, it was prudent for a man to calculate his means of maintaining the “heirs of his loins,” Mr. Stepheli Flint .replied shortly; " “I did calculate nnc!e; v aml os a jiroof that I was not out of my reckoning, I have; thank Heaven! been aide to .support myself and family decently. I have give.ll them all n good, plain education, that will enablii them to provide for themselves; as their father has done before them. I owe no man a penny, and I ask no patronage from the rich; and, so long as I possess tho blessing rtf health, they will never want. I’m yet in the primo k of Life, and hope in the course of nature to see them all respectably settled.” “Hi dine with you to-morrow,” said Flint. “.Sunday is the only day that 1 can receive a vis itor,” replied Stephen; “end it is not every hodyljiat I allow to sit at my table, humble as it is;,dmt, as you arc a relation, I shall be glad to receive you.— 5 If we agree, well and good; if wo don’t ‘hitch our horses, the shorter the acquaintance tluc better.

Ho hesitated for a moment, muttered a few unintelligible words, and finally, clapping his broad brimmed white hat, turned up with green, upon his head, lie said, “I’ll be witli you nephew, punctually,” and took his leavc-without.further ceremony. “Jane,” remarked Stephen to’bis spouse, “I real ly tlunk thc old boy wishes to turn the house bat of the windows—but lie shan’t. This house is my cas tle, old girl, and no man, rich or poor; phall rule the roast here. Remember,- I’ll have no display—beef, pudding, and ale. I’ll not sloop to the whims of any man. Wliat! because ho happens to be rich, shall 1 be ridiculous?” .The “old boy,” howoVor,d}d come,and made him self so very agreeable, and related so many anecdotes of elephant and tiger hunts, and other Indian sports and making thy limb steal away eo rapidly, that it was rather a late hour before lie lighted his last cheroot, and took his departure. “Wliat a nice gentleman lie is!—how amusing!” observed Jane. “That’s just Hko you women,” replied Stephen: “it takes time to know a man. . The old fox is, after all perhaps, only playing a-game.. But he shan’t govern me or itiinc.
