tatu—"no, Mary; stop, I will go myself.
These are exigencies I must Meet," he
added to himself, pressing his lips firmly
together lest an impatient or repining
thought might seek an utterance.
"Here's Mr. Cook's bill, and he says
he wants the pay now," was the familiar
greeting that Mr: Scott met at the door—
alas, too familiar'had the poor Man become
with messages . of . a similar character.
"Yes, Mr. Cook's bill," taking the bill
in one band, and thrusting the other in his
pocket, More from habit than the expecta
tion that it would come •in contact with
any thing else than the two keys which
constantly resided them ana which he
sometimes jingled together 10 the pleasing
illusion that they sounded like change.
"1 believe I am quite out of money now,
but tell Mr. Cook I will try and send it
over talon."
"How soon ?" asked the boy, impa
tiently. "that's,what you said before."
A deep flush passed over the minister,
as he mildly answered, "just as soon as I
can:" but his experience told him too plain-
ly that his "soon" had no very definite
boundaries. The boy departed.
"Come, my little girl, I want you to go
on an errand I ask your mother to put on
your clothds," said Mr. Scott, trying to be
cheerful.
"Mother's laid down a while, I can
dress me," and away she skipped.
M r. Scott, returning to his study wrote an
urgent request to the treasurer of his soci
ety, soliciting some payment of the long
and unpaid arrears of his last year's salary.
"I am ready, father," said Mary, at his
elbow, just as he had finished.
"M}* dear, you will be ao,cold ; have you ,,
nothing to wear on you neck but this 2"
said he, taking the corner of a thin ker
chief in his hand, "why it's November,
and 'tis very cold out I"
"Mother's got the shawl ; been

"He says he's very sOrry," added Mary
again, as if fearing her father needed Con

TIIE POLITE LAIRD.—Of one of his old
ancestors, James, Earl of Balearres, who
was a great agriculturist, and died in
1768, Lord Lindsay. in his "Lives of the
Lindsay's," just published, relates some
pleasing anecdotes
"Walking one day in a field of turnips,
on which ho particularly prided himself,
he surprised an old woman, a pensioner of
the family, busily employed in filling a
sack with his favorites. After heartily
scolding her —to which she replied only
I in silent eloquence of repeated curtsies, he
I was walking away, when the poor woman I
called after him, .Eli, my Lord it's unco
heavy ! wad yo no be so kind as help me
on wi't r—which he did, and, with many
thanks she decamped."—"There hail
been many robberies in Fifeshire—every
house in the neighborhood had been visit
ed except Balcarres. The robbers were
at last captured and brought before the
County Court. 'Why did you never
come to me asked Lord 13alearres.—
'My Lord,' they replied, 'we often did—
everywhere else we found closed doors,
but et, Oalcsrres they stood always open,
end where such is the case, it is a rule -
monist us not to enter.' "—“Earl James's
great delight was to ride across the country
unbroken horsed, and if on an. er
iinitltrorrithe:fait new, this "delight war ten.
OM. Oe never met iv carriage without
'topping to inquire whether he cueld.be of
service to the ladies."
