little epfspdes in his profwisional career which,
for raciness ofl outline, ritknesti in 'the filling
up atur generril 'grouping*, would well rival In
comicality the' - most' side-splitting narration
of Lover and Lever. . • . s .
sPeter, as . hit last name indicates, is a nati Ve
of that "gem of the - say" which prrduced a
G,attan and W.Gurran; but at the time of
the blippening of thri incidents which 1 ant
about to, relate, bad resided in New York a
number of years, where he 'bad taken; as he
expressed ,it,.:" - howly °raters ) " , or, in,other
words had beeimulmitted to the practice of
the law. . -
Some years agp there lived in the vicinity
of the . : City lIL,II a highly respectable Ger

the, lessee for the term of him year from that

• The relation 1 of hurdle d and tenant was
mutually pietisfng to the contracting partiei
fOr the -first 4iree mon bs •of the demised

liquors and wines on his premises an the first
floor, WAS frequently Waited upon by " Pother"
and'itiend, and several j mntu.al "smiles"
weald pass between . them,),which would re
sult In a slight elevatihn of 'Petees..self
esteem, and wh i ch also tended to elevate his
-personal 'steam to a limitii•and - yet proper
extent._ The first of august—the meal day
di' a new quarter—which as to put an end
to 'this happy interchange of sentiment and ,
feeling at sength arrived; .' Old Limbergher,
i it the,expiratien of three .ir four - days after
the close C 4 the, first quarter, noticed that
Peter had neglected- to visit him as usual
'since the cerningin of the month. Ile also
remembered that Are first ; instalment of tiro
'rent, was then pus and paYable, and -deter

Counsellor. T9 l etiecithat object, he frequent

stationed himself where) ho could

and awaited Peter's in coming or o.at-going
as the case might be. So well-timed, how - -

of rooms, that 'several daYs elapsed before
Mr. Limberghei. succeeded, in _meeting his
Mina,. and that even happened when he was
'coming out, fort-to use thti Couusellofs ex
