Fr< m r > Other hfttqrUj Mr. K chard Fogrum, or, a- hia old e quaintance would more familiarly than r<>apcctfully designale him, I>tck Fog rum, or, as he was sometimes styled on the superscription of a letter from a tradesman or poor relation Richard Fogrum, esq., had for some yenrs retired from business, (<al though he had not yet passed what is called the middle age ; and turning bis back on h s shop, where he had made, if not a considerable fortune, at least a hatul.Homi' competency, rented a small house at llackney,or, as he was pleased I to term it, in the country. Ill* i-atah lishmsnt united a due attention to com- fort with economy and -prudence. Beside a ktdien maid and an occa-ion il char-woman or errand-boy, Mr. Fogrum possessed, in the person of the trusty ■sally Sadlins, an excellent superinten dent of his little mtnage. Sally was not ••xactly 7*>uv<rna.fr, or housekeeper, at least she as .utued none of the dignity attache ! to such a post; she seemed in dec I hardly to have a will or opinion of her own. but had so insensibly accom modated herself to her employer's w\ x and humors, that by degrees the ap parent distance between master and servant dimini-bed, and as Sally, though Tar from talkative herself, was a good listener, Mr. Fogrum began to find a pleasure in relating to her all th • little newr and anecdotes he usually picked up in hi* daily walk. Let it not. however, be supposed that there was anything equivocal in the kind of unconscious courtesy which existed between there two personage* ; a single glance at Sally would have convinced the moat ingenious fabricator of scandal, and dealer in innuendoes, that here there was no foundation on which to build even the slightest turin e of the kind, for both Sally's perse n ar.d face were to her a shield that would have re butted any notion of the sort. Ala* ! that nature, so extolled by every fret fur her impartiality, should be at times -o capricious in her favor*, mid la-stow her gifts so grudgingly, even on this,- whose very sex entitles them to be on sidered fair ! "Kind goddess," a* Will of Avon styles thee, surely thou did-t in this instance behave most unfiirlr, bestowiog on Sally Niillins an elevation of figure that, had she been of the other sex. might have raised her to the rank of a corporal of 'grenadier*. Y> t, if thou givest her an a*piring stature,and thou gvvest her no aspiring thoughts; and if*.hou didst deny to her soltne.r of person, fortunately for her peace, thou ilidst not gift her with the lexst susceptibility of heart. If Sally was cot lovable, was no woman on earth who could |>o-*ibly have regretted it !e**. Indeed, I may aafelyaver, the idea of love never for an in*tanl entered her head, much less had a single twinge of it over touched her heart. She had heard people talk of love ; and she supposed -if indeed the ever bestowed a thought on the subject—that there must lie something in the world xocalled, other wise people woul'l not have invent*' l a name for it; but she enuld no more pretend or say what it was, than tod* scribe the ingredients of the sir * v e breathed. In short, Sally was the most | guileless, simple and disinterested of mortals that ever entered beneath the roof of a single gentleman, to lie the first ( ( servant where there was no mistress. Well, therefore, might Mr*. Thomas, who was aware that elderly gentleman in her "dear" uncle's situation, are not always gifted with that discretion that beseems their year*, but sometimes commit themselves to wedlock, in an unwary moment, to the no small pre judiee of their affectionate relative*;— well, I say, might the prudent Mr*. Thomas congratulate herself on having found suoh a treaauere, so invaluable a tewel, aa Sally Sadlins. She waa certain (hat from this quarter, at least, there was nothing to be apprehended—noth ing to intercept her "dea-r" uncle's three per cents from what she considered the legitimate object of tbeir destination, I Some alarm, Indeed, had been excited in her mind, by hearing that Mr. Fog rum bad been seen rather frequently of late knocking at the door of Mr*. Simp son ; but then again she thought that ho'could not possibly be led thither by i any otber motive than that of chatting away an boor with the widow of an old friend ; besides, this lady was not likely to lead, or to be led, into mntrimooy. p In her younger days Mr. Simpao* might have been |>rtty, but IMHiii of her nr(|ii ntiino oul<l tutollMt whfit. .Slip "till patched; hut the | ntch win ap plied not where coquetry Would huv< placed it, tmt whim nrreaaity dielated, namely, over the left eye. Mrs. Thomas therefore oonaohd hrnrlf with the re• flection that it wax better Iter uncle should knock at Mra. Simpson iti.nr than at that of a more attractive fair one. No I her uncle, ahe woe perfectly walla- Bed, would never marry. "What have you got there, .Sally?" avid Mr. Fogruin to hia housekeeper, otin •lay, aa ahe drew something Iroio her pocket, while -tar,ding before the aide board oppiwite to hitn. "Ao'l pleaae you, air," replied Sally, in a meek, but not very gentle voioe, "it'a a bit o' auintuwt I wan going to ahow you. You know, air, my uncle Tim took leave of me yesterday, before be goa to aea again, and wo he guve me tbia paper, which he aaya may turn up truinpa and make tne comfortable for life." "Well, let tne aee what it la, Sally, la it the old fellow's will? lluEn ' why, N.lly, th'w i* a lottery ticket!—a whole lottery ticket; yet I will venture to ay not worth more than the rag of paper 'tie printed on. I have myaelf tried the lottery, timea and often, ere no* . md never got anything but —doapi ..int. ment.—'A blank, >'• • Msnk'—that WHS the only an*w> , , \vr obtained from them. What could possibly induce your uuele to lay out hia caah in so j foolish a manner? 'Ti* never worth] either keeping or thinking about. No. 1 123, confound it! I know it well, I once purchased a share of it myself—the very first I ever bought, when ! wa< quite a lad ; and well do I recollect that I chose it out of a whole heap, and i thought mvseif very fortunate in obtain j ingone with such a sequence of figures— J one, two, three." Most composedly did Sdly take the I t ickct again, not at all disconcerted at this denunciation of ill luck, but, on j the eontrarv. with a calmness worthy of a stoic. 'Tis true, she did not. like ' ! patience on a monument, absolutely |-mile at grief; but then Sslly never j smiled; nor would a smile jierbapx, if . the rigidity of her face would have j pprmit'ed such a relaxation of its muscles, have tended greatly to heigh | teo the attraction of her counte \ nance. J Her master in the meanwhile con tinued eating, and wondering, and eating, until he could neither eat nor j wonder ro >re; but dismissing Sally with j the dinner things, turned himself I quietly to the fire, and took his pipe. Mrs. Toomas was sitting one morning eogi'uting on some miacbicf that she | "gain began to apprehend from the Widow Sinij -on, in c*>nequru*o of certain intelligence -ho had the dav before receives!, respecting that lady's •b-igns 111 on tin* person of her uncle, i when sh. wax -uddenty -taried Irom her reverie by t loud rapping at the door, and instantly afterwards who should i n're the parlvr. but tin very subject of her meditations—Mra.

"Why. Mrs. Tnorna-. ' ev- la md sin-, I almost t il ithless, as s<ton a- he enter* I.

Mrs. Thomas-- , not dying- but I thought voir might ; have heard"— Heard what ?—some accident I np | Ose?—jswrr lear man!" "No; no accident," returned the j widow who by this time hrd somewhat I recovered h*r breath: "but something very strange—most unaccountable. What you may think of it, I know not . but for my part I think that Mr. Fegrum has acted—l shall say how." And pray, ma'am," enid Mra. Thomas, who now began to think that it was some quarrel between them, of which the wibow came to inform her, "what has Mr. Fogrum done that you should come in this strange manner, and make so great a fusa about it? It is some nonsense, after all I dare say." "Nonsense, foraoothl—well, I declare! —however, it la no business of mine, ma'am," returned Mrs. Simpson, quite nettled at her reception; "and as I sup pose you know wbat has taken place, and approve of it, I have nothing fur ther to aay." Mra. Thomas now became unaftection ately alarmed, and apprehending vhe knew not what, requested to be infor med what had happened, without fur ther delay. "Why ma'am, then, Mr. Fogram is— married, that's all." To describe fhe effect those words had upon Mra. Thomas, would be ira possible, and to paint the expression of ber countenance, equally unavailing. "Married!" screamed ahe out, at tengibfgm noon aa she could draw ber breath, "Married! iiii|Muwlb|i- and (<i whom?" To whom? to M,illy Madliii*, uia.am."

What an old fool ho uiuwt be, to nutrry wo vulgar a frump." Nay, do not agitate yourself my dear ma'am," waid Mr*. ,Sirii|iwon, who now having disburthened herself of her secret, and her being perhaps carried off by that of Mm, Thomaa, which noted aw a conductor to it, had quite >-"gwiiied hor composure— "for my part I hope he may not repent of his match." "Oh. Thomas," ex< laimod| the other ladv, aa her husband entered the room, "here is neww for uw—my willy old uncle haw actually, thia very morning, mar ried hia maid servant." "That is inowt confoundedly unlucky, ' cried Thomaw, "though I much doubted whether all your management in rna nteuvring, for which you gave yourself wo much credit, would lie tw> any pur|iowe."
