For The Intelligeneer
UNCLE JERRY
Tho following touching verses are transcribed from
a volume of Poems written by Dr. WILLIAM H. HoL
COMBE, of Virginia, and lately published by Mason
lc Brothers, New York :
Why, Jerry ! what means all this sadness and fear?
Here's your bitters, why do you cry?
Who told you I'd sell you? the trader that's here?
By zounde, sir! he told you a lie!
When I sell the gold ring from my dead mother's
hand,.. ,
Or the sword which my grandfather bore,
When at Guilford his troopers made such a bold stand,
I will sell you—and not before!
Why don't you remember my face as a boy's,
When often I sat on your knee,
Whilst you sang, in your rugged, monotonous voice,
Your foolish old ballads to me?
I wept at- your sad ones, and laughed at your gay,
And made you repeat them all o'er:
Ah ! when I forget my life's happiest day,
I will sell you—and not before!
You made me the boat which I launched on the tide,
And my traps for the birds in the snow;
You led my bay pony, and taught me to ride,
And half the good things which I know.
You wept like a child when they sent me to school,
To be absent for six months or more;
When you are a villain or I am a fool,
I will sell you—and not before!
If poverty's cup I'm sentenced to drain,
I will part with you—last of them all ;
Your kindness, old Jerry ! would double my pain,
And your sorrows embitter my fall.
If fate or misfortune should cause us to part,
There's a God will unite us once more;
So drink my good health and console your old heart,
And love me and serve, as before.
WEST EARL. Lqt-
EARLY RISING
BY JOHN G. SAXE.
"God bless the man who first invented sleep!"
So Sancho Paoza said, and so say I;
And bless him, also, that he didn't keep
His great discovery to himself; or try
To make it—as the lucky fellow might—
A close monopoly by "patent right!"
Yes—bless the man who first invented sleep,
(i really can't avoid the iteration :)
But blast the inan with curses loud and deep,
Whate'er the rascal's name, or age, or station,
Who first invented, and went round advising,
That artificial cut-off—Early Rising!
" Rise with the lark, and with the lark to bed,"
Observes some solemn sentimental owl,
Maxims like these are very cheaply said;
But ere you make yourself a fool or fowl,
Pray, just-inquire about the rise—and fall,
And whether larks have any bed at all
The " time for honest folks to be abed,"
Is in the morning, if I reason right;
And he who cannot keep his precious head
Upon his pillow till 'tis fairly light,
And so enjoy his forty morning winks,
Is up to knavery; or else—he drinks !
Tompson, who sung about the "Seasons," said,
It was a glorious thing to rise in season,
But then he said it—lying—in his bed
At 10 o'clock, a. m.—the very reason
He wrote so charmingly. The simple fact is,
,His preaching wasn't sanctioned by his practice.
'Tis, doubtless, well to be sometimes awake—
Awake to duty, and awake to truth—
But when, alas! a nice review we take
Of our best deeds and days, we find, in sooth,
The hours that leave the slightest cause to weep
Are those we passed in childhood, or—asleep !
'Tie beautiful to leave the world awhile
For the soft visions of the gentle night;
And free at last from mortal care or guile,
To live, as only in the angels' sight,
In sleep's sweet realm so cosily shut in,
Where, at the worst, we only dream of sin!
So, let us sleep, and give the Maker praise;
like the lad who, when his father thought '
To clip his morning nap by hackneyed phrase
Of vagrant worm by early songster caught,
Cried, ' , served him right ! it's not at all surprising
The worm was punished, sir, for early rising!"
Perplexities of a Washerwoman!
Or a Cockney Sold.
At the close of a warm summer's day
in the month of. August last, a handsome
traveling carriage might have been seen
driving through the long and straggling
street of C—, in the interior of Penn
sylvania, and upon arriving at the Wash
ington Hotel, by-the-way the only one the
village possessed, a gentleman alighted
therefrom, and was immediately surround
ed by a crowd of the lackeys and loafers
who generally congregate at the village
inn after the labors of the day, to discuss
the latest piece of scandal, or to recount
the exploits they achieved in by-gone
years. Foremost in the crowd was mine
host, a Boniface of truly Falstaffian pro
portions. -
The stranger was a London cockney
who had lately arrived in this coutnry,
and was taking notes with a view of writ
ing a book upon his return to England, to
be called Notes of Travel, or a Tour
through the United States.' He was
ushered to the best chamber the inn
afforded, and was 'delighted with the air of
neatness and cleanliness that pervaded the
whole establishment. After partaking of
a hearty supper, he announced to the host
that he had traveled for a week or two
without losing any time, but was so well
pleased with his present quarters, that he
would spend a day or two with him, and
would like to embrace the opportunity of
having his soiled linen renovated.
He then inquired if the landlord knew
of any woman who would be capable of
performing the duty in a satisfactory man
ner, to which Boniface replied that the
widow Melaney, who lived at the foot of
the hill, was a most worthy and capable
person, and as she had been left in an
almost destitute condition by the decease
of her husband, he would recommend her
as a deserving object, and one who could
give entire satisfaction. A messenger
was accordingly dispatched, and in five
tainutes Mrs. Bridget Melaney was ushered
into the apartment. Our traveler then
made known his wants to Bridget, and the
following dialogue ensued :
Vel, my good voman, I 'ave a quantity
of soiled linen, vich I am desirous of
'aving done up in a very nice manner, and
I vould like to 'ave hall my clothes de
liverpd by to-morrow hevenin'.'
0, may it please your blessed self, I
niver undertakes a job but what I goes
through wid it, and ye may rely on Bridget
Melaney for being the woman who always
gives satisfaction. Is it a nate manner
you would have 'em done in ? Shure it's
mesel' that can do that same thing ; and
many's the dozen of 'linen fornenst this
that I've washed and ironed for the gintle
men who have stopped at this illegant
hotel, and niver a one had a word of fault
to find at all, at all.'
Can I 'ave 'em done by to-morrow
hevenin' ?'
Oh, may the sun niver shine on yciur
back; I could have 'em here by sunrise in
the mornin', if you wanted 'em, and when
I bring 'em to you, it's yoursel' that'll say
they were niver done nicer.'
Veil, Bridget, to-morrow hevenin - ' vill
do. 'Ere they are, a 'alf dozen linen
shirts, two linen vests, 'alf dozen pocket
'andkerchiefs, a linen duster, and last, but ,
not least, by hany means, 'ere are two
dozen shirt collars; on these I want you
to bestow particular hattention, and you
can veil see 'ow nicely they were hironed
before I purchased them in the city.
Bridget, I trust you with tho job, and if
you return them to me done up has nicely
has they were before, I viii pay you veil
for your labor.'
Bridget's eyes glistened at the sight of
the bundle of clothes, that would be the
means of bringing in a nice little sum, and
after a few moments she gave vent to her
feelings in the following expressions :
'O, may the blessed saint preserve ye,
for a kind and illegant gintleman, and my
eyes have niver seen linen shirts as fine as
these since the days I left ould Ireland
with. poor Barney Melaney. Shure the
stitches in the buzzoms are so small and so
nate, that they might have been made by
And the collars that ye want
the fairies
me to be so particular about ! Shure they
have a gloss on them now as if they'd just
bee❑ fresh starched. It does my eyes
good to see sich clothes as these, for niver
a lot like 'em have I laid my eyes on since I
came across the wather. I'll put 'em to
soak to-night, and early in the mornin' I'll
wash 'em, and I'll shurely have 'em here
by to-morrow evenin'.'
The clothes were accordingly tied up,
and Bridget departed for her little cottage,
where she had left the five little Melaneys
enjoying themselves by making dams
across the brook which ran through the
meadow at the back of her house. Upon.
her arrival home, she brought out her best
tub, and with the aid of Pat, her eldest
son, she hastily filled the tub with water,
and after making strong soap suds, by
mixing a quantity of soft-soap with the
water, she carefully counted the pieces as
she deposited them in the tub, and marked
on the chimney board with a piece of red
chalk, which she used for the purpose, the
number of articles. After this had been
satisfactorily accomplished, Bridget called
in her children, and after partaking of the
evening meal, they all retired for the
night, not, however, without first looking
at the tub and its contents. It was not
long before Bridget and her family were
sound asleep. Bridget however dreamed the
live-long night of the beautiful linen, and
was once more carried back,in imagination,
to her own native shores, where thn mysteri
ous fairies who flourish in the Emerald Isle
appeared before her, and she fancied
they were about carrying off her youngest
child Barney, at which point she suddenly
awoke and found that it was broad day-
light. She hastily rose and dressed her
self and commenced her task. She first
rubbed the shirts and put them in another
tub, and so with the handkerchiefs ; but
when she reached the bottom of the tub
and looked for the collars they were no
where to be found, and her feelings can
better be imagined than described, when
she found in lieu of them two dozen little'
rags. This was an awful state of affairs,
and the poor woman was well-nigh dis
tracted. The children were awakened by
her lamentations, and hastily dispatched
to her neighbors, Judy O'Flatherty, Biddy
M'Carty, and Peggy Maguire, who soon
arrived and made accquainted with the
lamentable fact of the disappearance of
the right beautifulest ' set of collars that
Mrs. Melaney ever seen. These counsel
lors were all washerwomen themselves, and
their feeling of surprise and astonishment
were not entirely unmixed with joy at the
misfortune which had befallen their rival.
Peggy Maguire wanted to know if iver
a grain of sody was mixed with the wather
diver a drop,' answered Mrs. Melaney.
Did you put any fluid in V said Judy
O'Flaherty.
Divil a hair,' said the unfortunate
Bridget.
Was the wather hotl' asked Mrs.
M'Carthy.
It was just from the brook,' said Mrs.
Melaney, and then she gave them a full
account of the manner in which she had
acted. The dream, too, was related ; and
after the rags had been carefully scrutin
ized, they all finally insisted on the opin
ion that the fairies had been there and
taken the .collars, and left the rags as a
substitute. They shortly after left the
cottage, and poor Bridget, hardly knowing
what she did, proceeded to wash the
remaining pieces. She then ironed them
until they fairly shone, and when her labors
were completed, with a sad heart, she
walked to the hotel, where she arrived at
five o'clock in the evening.
She was shown to the apartment of our
cockney friend, and proceeded to draw
forth from a huge basket the articles which
had been entrusted to her care.
Here are the shirts, may it plaze your
Lordship, and its work enough that I had
to git them cleaned and ironed, for shure
the dust was worn so deep in the linen,
that it took a dale of rubbing to git it out.'
my good Biddy, you 'ave vashed
and hironed them very nicely; and hif
the 'ole lot is done has yell has these, I
shall be perfectly satisfied.'
Biddy handed over the stockings, hand
kerchiefs, vests and remaining articles,
which, after undergoing the careful inspec
tion of the cockney, were declared him
maculate, and Biddy, with downcast eyes
and troubled look, stood before him, the
picture of despair.
Vere are the collars, Biddy 1' said the
cockney. Poor Biddy looked as if she
was ready to faint, and staggered toward
the wall and dropped in a chair, complete
ly overcome by the shock produced by
the above interrogatory.
Vere are the collars V was repeated.
Biddy rose, and scarcely knowing what
she did, drew forth from her bosom a
home-spun linen pillow-case, from which
she took two dozen little muslin rags,
and' silently deposited them on a chair in
front of the cockney, who said— , Vot are
these, good voman?'
Shure, your Lordship, it's all that's
left of the collars. I washed 'em and
ironed 'em just exactly the same as I ever
did before, and that's all that I could
make out of 'em. Shure, when 2 come to
wash 'em I concaited they felt slippery?
but I says to myself, shore there must
have been a dale of starch put in them
when they were done up the last time; so
1 hung 'em out to dry, and when I went
to bring them in there was nothing left at
all, but jist what I brought ye. It's
.worrying myself I have been all day, and
the neighbors were in lookin' at 'em, and
they all agreed that the fairies must have
come and stole the beautiful collars and
left the rags.
Vot, ham I to be made a fool of by a

LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 24, 1860.
himposed upon in this vay?- 1 thought
you were an 'onest voman, or I never
would 'ave trusted you with the job.—
Steal my two dozen collars for vich I paid
six dollars •in the city of Philadelphia,
and try to make me believe this hinfamous
falsehood ! 0, I might 'ave known better
than to 'ave given them to an Birish
voman. I'll prosecute you for a thief,
and let the Hamericans know that Hing-
liabmen are not to be himposed on by such
an hidle tale.'
At this accusation Biddy's choler rose,
and the Englishman having given vent to
his rage, was obliged to stop to gain
0, ye dirty spalpeen, ye ! What do
ye mane by calling me a thafe ! Ye'd
better be careful how ye talk about a poor
lone widdy like myself, or I'll have ye
before the Squire for slanderin'. Shure,
Father O'Laherty, from the town of Kil
kenny, and the landlord himself, can bear
me out when I say that divil a rogue like
yourself ever doubted the word of Misses
Melaney. Shure its a great pity that Bich
a rascal as yersel' ever stepped on the
blessed shores of Ameriky. 0, may the
divil fly away wid ye, for an ignorant con
caited puppy ! Shure, Queen Victory
made a good riddance when she started ye
over the wather. Shure, it's a pity ye
didn't go under before ye's got to New
York.'
Our English friend listened for some
time, and a contemptuous sneer overspread
his features, until Mrs. Melaney came to
the part of her oration in which she con
gratulated the Queen on having ridden
herself of such an ignorant puppy. The
cockney having always considered himself
a most loyal subject, rose from his chair,
and rushing towards Mrs. M., said—
, You tampions, houdacious, hunmiti
gated, 'orrible low voman! 'Ow dare you
use such language vhen speaking of a
Flenglish gentleman ! Get bout of my
sight, or I'll give you such a cow-'iding
has you never hexperienced before.'
Well, then, if yer sich a gentleman,
pay me for my work, and I'll leave ye
quicker than liglatniii'. It's myself that
don't admire the company of slob like ye.'
Pay you! after ruining or stealing two
dozen linen collars ! That vould' be a
pretty vay of settling the difficulties. No,
my.voman ; 'ave you sent to jail for
himposing and passing yourself off for a
honest voman.'
At this horrible picture poor Mrs.
Melaney was entirely crest-fallen, and
poured forth her grief in tones both deep
and loud, which had the effect of bringing
mine host to the apartment to see what
was the matter.
The cockney arose, the very picture of
indiaoatiou, and said he 'vould hexplain
the cause,' and gave the landlord a history
of the case ; told him of his beautiful
collars; where he had purchased them;
how much he had paid for .them ; and then
exhibited the miserable rags that had been
returned to him.
6 Well, that is a hard case,' said the
landlord, but I'm sure it was not the
fault of Mrs. Melaney, for I've long
known her to be an honest woman, and
have every reason to place the fullest
confidence in what she says and does.—
By-the-way, what kind of collars were
they ?'
'Linen, to be sure,' said the cockney,
and the dealer who sold them tome
called them henamelled collars. 'Ere is
one of them now,' and he drew the last
of the lot from hls trunk.
The landlord looked at him very quizzi
cally for a moment, and then said, Young
man, do you know what you have been
wearing V
Why, linen collars to be sure,' said
the cockney.
Not linen, but paper collars,' replied
Boniface. To convince you of the fact,
look here ' and with his pen knife he de
liberately scraped the preparation from
the collar, and after a short time exposed
to the astonished gaze of the infuriated
Englishman and bewildered Biddy, a strip
of muslin, about sixteen inches long and
three inches wide, with two little - button
holes at each end.
Well, well,' said the cockney, this
honly goes to convince me more and more
of the deceitfulness and dishonesty of the
Hamerican people.'
Poor Biddy clapped her hands for joy
at the denouement which restored her
character for honesty, and disabused her
mind of the impression that the fairies
had a home in America, and after asking
the gentleman's pardon, she received her
well-earned wages and departed to her
home, to minister to the wants of the
little Melaneys, and to communicate the
startling intelligence to her neighbors that
the beautiful collars had been coated with
paper. The cockney, who felt that he had
been most shockingly and emphatically
sold,' left early the next morning, and
has not since been heard from.
The last we saw of Boniface was one
very warm day last summer, when the
thermometer Was up among the nineties,
when, seated in the store of a friend of
ours, we were startled at seeing a huge
specimen of humanity, who was, withal, a
very .nice man, and quite competent to
keep a hotel, even in Indiana,' —almost
breathless, and worn out with fetigue,
gasping forth, can you tell me where I can
get some paper collars I I have been at
every retail store in town, and cannot get
any large enough.'
I guess we can accommodote you,' said
our obliging friend who proceeded to take
the measure of his neck, which, strange
to relate, was twenty-three and a half
inches in circumference. It is impossi
ble said our friend, for you to find any
large enough, the largest size made being
only seventeen and a half inches.'
Boniface was very sorry, and then
related the above story, which, like all
good stories founded on facts, loses half
its beauty in the narration. He returned
to his home in o—, and many of our
citizens and frequenters of his• capital
hotel have, time and again, been amused
at hisrecital of the perplexities of a
washerwoman ; or a cockney sold.'
NEAT RETORT.—An Israelite lady, sit
ting in the same box at an opera, with a
French physician, and was much troubled
with ennui, happened to gape.
Excuse me madam,' said the doctor,
I am glad you did not swallow me,'
Give yourself no uneasiness,' replied
the lady, ' I am a Jewess, and never eat
pork !'
THE WAY TO BE HAPPY.
A STORY OP EVERY DAY LIFE
Cut your coat according to your cloth,
is an old maxim, and a wise one ; and if
people will only square their ideas accord
ing to their circumstances, how much hap
pier might we all be ! If we only would
come down a peg or two in our notions, in
accordance with our waning fortunes, hap
piness would be always within our reach.
It is not what we have, or what we have
not, which adds to or subtracts from our
felicity. It is the longing for more 'than
we have—the envying of those possess
that more, and we wish to appear in the
world of more consequence than we really
are, which destroy our peace of mind and
eventually lead to ruin. I never witnessed
a man submitting to circumstances with
good humor and good sense so remarkably
as my friend Alexander Willemot. When
I first saw him since our school days, it
was at the close of the War; he had been
a large contractor with the Government
for army clothing and accoutrements, and
was said to have realized an immense for
tune, although his accounts were not yet
settled. Indeed, it was said that they
were so vast that it would employ the time
of six clerks, for two years, to examine
them, previous to the balance sheet being
struck.
As I observed, he had been at school
with me, and, on my return from the East
Indies, I called upon him to renew our old
acquaintance, and congratulate him upon
his recent success.
My Dear Reynolds, 1 am delighted to
see you; you must come down to Belem
Castle ; Mrs. Willemot will receive you
with pleasure, lam sure. You shall see
my two girls.' I consented. The chaise
stopped at a splendid mansion, and I was
ushered in by a crowd of liveried servants,
Everything was on the most sumptuous
and magnificent scale. Having paid my
respects to the lady of the house, I desired
to dress, as dinner was nearly ready, it be
ing then half-past seven o'clock. It was
eight before we sat down. To an observa
tion that I made, expressing a hope that I
had not occasioned the dinner to be put
off, Willemot replied : On the oontrary,
my dear Reynolds, we never sit down ma
til about this hour ; hoh , people can dine
at four or five I cannot conceive.
I could not touch a mouthful.'
The dinner was excellent, and I paid it
the enconiums which were its due.
Do not be afraid, my dear fellow—my
cook is an artist extraordinaire—a regular
Cordon Blen. You may eat anything
without fear of indigestion. How people
can live upon the English cookery of the
present day, I cannot conceive. I seldom
dine out for fear of being poisoned. De
pend upon it, a good cook lengthens your
days, and no price is too great to insure
one.'
When the ladies retired, being alone,
we entered into a friendly conversation.- -
I expressed my admiration of his daughters,
who certainly were very handsome and
elegant girls.
Very true; they are more than passa
ble,' replied he. We have had many
offers, but not ,such as come up to expec
tations. Baronets are cheap now-a-days,
and Irish lords are nothing. I hope to
settle them comfortably. We shall see.
Try this claret ; you will find it excellent,
not a headache in a hogshead of it. How
people can drink Port, I cannot imagine.'
The next morning he proposed that we
should rattle round the park ; and we set
off in a handsome open carriage with four
greys, ridden by postillions at a rapid
pace. As we were whitling along, he ob
served, in town we must of course drive
but a pair, but in the country I never go
out without four horses. There is a spring
in four horses which is delightful ; it makes
our spirits elastic, and you feel that the
poor animals are not at hard labor.—
Rather than not drive four, I would prefer
to stay at home.'
Our ride was very pleasant, and in such
amusements I passed one of the most
pleasant weeks that I ever remembered.—
W illemot was not the least altered—he
was as friendly, as sincere, as open-hearted,
as when a boy at school. I left him
pleased with his prosperity, and acknowl
edging that he was well deserving of it,
although his ideas had -assumed such a
scale of magnificence. I went to India
when my leave expired, and was absent
about four years.
On my return I inquired after my friend
Willemot, and was told that his circum
stances and expectations had been greatly
altered. From many causes, such as
change in the government, a demand for
economy, and the wording of his contracts
having been differently rendered from
what Willemot had supposed their mean
ing to be, large items had been struck out
of his balance sheet, and instead of being
a millionaire, he was now a gentleman
with a handsome property. Belem Castle
had been sold, and he now lived at Rich
mond ; as hospitable as ever, and was
considered a great addition to the neigh
borhood.
I took the earliest opportunity of going
to see him. 'O, my dear Reynolds, this
is so kind of you to come without invita
' tion. Your room is ready, and bed well
aired, for it was slept in three nights ago.
Come, Mrs. Willemot will, be delighted to
see you.'
I found the girls still unmarried, but
they were yet young. The whole family
appeared as contented and happy, and as
friendly as before. We sat down to din
ner at six o'clock • the footman and coach
man attended. The dinner was good, but
not by the cook extraordinaire. I praised
everything.
Yes,' replied he, ' she is a very good
cook ; she unites solidity of the English
with the delicacy of the French fare, and
altogether, I think it a decided improve
ment. Jane is quite a treasure.'
After dinner he observed, Of course
you know I have sold Belem Castle, and
reduced my establishment. Government
has not treated me fairly, but I am at the
mercy of commissioners, and a body of
men will do that, which as individuals,
they would be ashamed of. The fact is,
the odium is borne by . no one in particular,
and it is only the sense of shame which
keeps us honest, I am afraid.
However, here you see my friends, es
pecially my school-fellows. Will you take
Port or Claret? the Port is fine, so is the
Claret. By-the-bye, do you know—l'll
let.you into a family secret ; Louisa is to
be married to Col. Willer—an excellent
match ; it will make tie all happy.'
' The next day we drove out in an open
carriage as before, but in a chariot, and
with a pair of horses. These are hand
some horses,' observed I. g Yes; replied
he, lam fond of good horses; and as I
I only keep a pair, I have the best. There
is a certain degree of pretension in four
horses I do not• much like ; it appears as
if you wished to overtop your neighbbrs'
I spent a very few pleasant days, and
then quitted his hospitable roof. A severe
cold, caught that winter, induced me to
take the advice of the physician, and pro-
teed to the south of France, where I
remained two years. On my return I was
informed that Willemot had speettlated,
and had been unlucky on the stock ex
change ; that he had left Richmond, and
was now living at Clapham. The next
day I met him near the Exchange. Rey-
nolds, lam happy to see you. Thompson
told me that you had come back ; if not
engaged come down to see me ; I will
drive you down at four o'clock, if that
will suit.'
It suited me very well, and at 4 o'clock
I met him according to the appointment,
at a livery stable, over the iron bridge.
His vehicle was ordered out; it was a
phaeton, drawn by two long-tailedponies—
altogether a very neat concern. We set
off at a rapid pace. They step out well,
don't they 1 We shall be down in plenty
time to put on a pair of shoes by five
o'clock, which is our dinner time. Late
dinners don't agree with me—they produce
indigestion. Of course you know that
Louisa has a little boy.' I did not, but
congratulated him. Yes, and has now
gone out to India with her husband.
Mary is also engaged to be married—a
very good match—a Mr. Rivers, in the
law. He has been called to the bar this
year, and promises well. They may be a
little pinched at first, but we must see
what we can do for them.'
We stopped at a neat row of houses, I
forgot the name, and as we drove up, the
servant, the only man-servant, came out
and took the ponies around to the stable,
while the maid received my luggage, and
one or two paper bags, containing a few
extracts for the occasion. I was met with
the same warmth as ifsual by Mrs. Wille
mot. The house was small, but, very neat ;
the remnants of former grandeur, appeared
here and there, in one or two little articles,
favorites of the lady. We sat down at
five o'clock to a plain dinner, and were
attended by the footman, who had rubbed
down the ponies and pulled on his livery.
A good plain nook is the best thing
after all,' observed Willemot. Your fine
cooks won't condescend to roast and boil.
ill you take some of this sirloin ? the
under cut is excellent. My dear, give
Mr. Reynolds some Yorkshire pudding.'
When we were left alone after dinner,
Mr. Willemot told me, very unconcernedly
of his losses. It was not my fault,' said
he ; I wished to make up a little sum for
the girls, and risking what they would
have had, I left them almost penniless.
However, we can always command a bottle
of port and a beef-steak, and what more in
this world can you have I Will you take
port or white I have no claret to offer
you.'
We finished our port, but I could per
ceive no difference in Willemot. He was
just as happy and as cheerful as ever. He
drove me to town the next day. During
our drive he observed,' I like ponies, they
are so little trouble ; and I prefer them to
driving one horse in this vehicle, as I can
put my wife and daughter into it. It's
selfish to keep a carriage for yourself
alone ; and one horse in a four-wheeled
double chaise, appeals like an imposition
on the poor animal.'
I went to Scotland, and remained about
a year. On my return, I found that my
friend Willemot had again shifted his
quarters. He was at Brighton ; and
having nothing better to do, put myself in
the Times, and arrived at the Bedford
Hotel. It was not until after some
inquiry that I could find out his address.
At last I obtained it in a respectable but
not fashionable part of this overgrown
town. Willemot received me just a s
before. 'I have no spare bed to offer
you, but you must breakfast and dine with
us every day. Our house is small, but
it's very comfortable, and Brighton is a
very convenient place. You know Mary
is married. A good place in the court
was for sale, and my wife and I agreed to
purchase it for Rivers. It has reduced us
a little but they are very comfortable. I
have retired from business altogether ; in
fact, as my daughters are both married,
and we have enough to live upon what can
we wish for more Brighton is very gay,
and always healthy, and, as for carriage
and horse, they are of no use here—there
are flies at every corner of the streets.'
I accepted this invitation to dinner. A
parlor maid waited, but everything, al
though very plain, was clean and comfor
table. I have still a ‘ bottle of wine for a
friend, Reynolds,' said Willemot, after
dinner ; but for my part, I prefer whiskey
to day ;it agrees with me better. Here's
to the health of my two girls—God bless
them, and success to them in life.'
My dear Willemot,' said I, excuse
the liberty 'of an old friend, but I am so
astonished at your philosophy, that I
cannot help it. When I call to mind
Belem Castle, your large establishment,
your luxuries, your French cook, and
your stud of cattle, I wonder at your
contented state of mind under such a
change of circumstances'
I almost' wonder myself, my dear
fellow,' said he. I never could have
believed, at that time, that I could have
lived happily under such a change of
circumstances, but the fact is, although I
have been a contractor, I have a good
conscience ; then my wife she is an excel
lent woman, and provided she sees me
and her daughters happy, thinks nothing
about herself; and farther, we have made
it a rule, as we have been going down hill,
to find reasons why we should be thankful
and not discontented. Depend upon it,
Reynolds, it is not a loss of fortune which
will effect your haPpiness ; as long as you
have peace and love at home.
I took my leave of Willemot and his
wife, with respect as well as regard,
convinced that there was no pretended
indifference to wordly advantages, that it
was not that the grapes were sour, but he
had learned the whole art of happiness, by
being contented with what he had, and by
cutting his coat according to his cloth !'

What have you to remark, mad
am, about my singing I' Nothing, sir, it
