money is not always making friends. At
the en J of years Mr. Anbton was a richer

prised to find himself not so much respeo

there were somethings money would not

'But I'll see If it won't buy me a wife,'
said he. 'I believe it's living a bachelor

Now it never occurred to our friend
that a wife that could be bouglit, might
not be worb baring. But it did occur
naturally enough, that while be was about
it, be might as well try for a rich one.
So he went peeping round amongst the

lady who was beir to a fine fortune, would
inherit every other fine quality. It was

mong the poor ncighhor3 who shared
kind attentions, was one whose
peculiarly lonely and desolate condition
gave her a strong claim tosympathj' and
kindness. lhc widow Green, as sbe
was commonly called, had seen better
days; but sho had lost her husbaud, ber
children, and her property. Ouc after
another, she had laid ber little ones in
the grave, till only two remained, a son
and a daughter. All the generous sym
pathies of Frank's nature were moved,
when that only son was cut down just as
be had reached an age at which his poor
mother might begin to lean upon him.
He resolved in the fulness of bis heart, to
maice tuts widow uis especial care, aun

him, he gave it freely to provide for her
comfort. The widow Green had, as I
have said, an only daughter; this was all
that bad been saved from the wreck of
her earthly happiness. A rich treasure
was the daughter at least, ho thought
the widow and so thought anotlvcr.
Now I beg the reader not to call in

attentions to the widow; for I do assure

Years rolled on. Frank and Mary
were happy iu each other, and ever aa
tive promoting the happiness of all about
them. Thoy had two children, Willy and
Mary tho prettiest and most interesting
children in the world at least, in tho
eyes of their parents.
iut when tho sun of our prosperity
shines brightest, the storm may be gath
ering. Ono uight as the May family
were retiring to rest, there was a knock
heard at the door. On opening it they
found a poor beggar, who asked the favor
of a night's lodging in the barn. He
was rather a suspicious looking character,
but Mary said, 'Let him stay, poer fellowl'
and Mr. May consented. The family
thon retired to rest, little dreaming how
much their hospitality would cost them.
About midnight there was a cry of
'Fire!' They started from their beds
and rushed out of their house. What
were their feelings when they discovered
tbe barn in a blaze, and tbe names just
communicating with the house !
Run, Mary,' exclaimed Frank, 'tako
the children to the little grove, while I
see what can be done.'
But he soon fouud there was nothing to
bo done, for he could got no water; the
well was so near the burning buildings
that ho could not approach it. Poor
Frank stood still, and with his arms fold
ed aoross his breast, looked on in silent
agony; while the trembling family saw
all from the grove. The village was a
larmed, and in a few minutes almost ev
ery man was on the ground. But a fire
is a thing of such rare occurrence in the
country, that the people do not know
what to do with it.
Though these worthy neighbors could
do nothing but stand with Mr. May and
look on, yet could you seen their faces, as
the light flashed upon them from the bla
zing pilo.you would have read in each, the
strongest expression of sympathy.
When all was over when tbe last
rafter had fallen in, and the last blaze
had flickered out, Frank turned away with
a heavy heart, and went towards the
grove, were Mary and tho children were
waiting.
