fonna,in domestic quiet and retirement, that
that true happiness for which Mrs Erskine
sought in vain and ,Stentatinus parade;
It was about three years after Erskine's
marriage that he found his busiatas, upon
a thort.tegh" investigation, inextricably invol
ved. 1 Cameron hats failed, and'left him to
pay some twelve thousand dollars- of aeon,.
()lodation papet, - which had been kept run
ning for his (Cameron's) benefit. And worse
than all, in this crisis, tire name of old Mr.
Allison was on Erskine's paper to at least
the sum of twenty (thousand dollars. For;
more than it year, the young man had toiled I
eight and day to keeptyis head above water. I
gut his legitimate business was almost en -1
‘irely neglected. and nearly the whole of
his time spent in 'financiering.' =But it a.
veiled nothing that he borrowed thensands
of dollars every tveleik, to returrtinibtainds
of dollars borrowed in the week previous.
It availed nothing that be kept tweor three
bank accounts, to prevent the larne'amount
of his 'asking? from twin/known to the
lirectors of any one institution. The cri
sis would and did come. -
Mr.. Allison was standing behind his
counter, one day about this time, with his
apron i ou, and his sleeves rolled up, musing
in no atery quiet rnind.over the very heavy
responsibility under which he was placed
for his son-in-law, when that individual en
tered. ,
'Good mrrning, Charles!' he said, endea
voring to smile. 'You look troubled about
something,' he added; marking the expres
sion of the young man ' s `countenance more
closely.
'And I feel troubled,' was the gloomy
response.
[ 1
'Why ' what is the Matter, Charles?' Mr.
Allison asked, his heart bounding with a
sudden pulsation, and then continuing to
beat strongly, and to him audibly.
'I am afraid my business is involved be
yond hope;' and the young man leaned a•
gainst the counter in much agitation.
'Why do you think so?' asked Mr. Alli
son, in a. voice as calm as he could assume.
'Because I have met with several heavy
tosses lately. Cameron's failure has invol
ved a loss of at least twelve thousand (101-
lara, and I have stirilc• more than that sum
by my country custom.'
'What are you going to qo?' , ,„..
'I cannot tell, One ad a s certain; - I
thing , i s
shall not be able to meet my payments an
to-morrow. They are five thousand dnl.
lars, and I have not one hundred. Every
resource is exhausted. Failure, inevitable
and tetally ruinous, stares me in the face..'
'And I shall be invoiced in that ruin,
said Mr. Allison, pacing the narrow space
behind his counter backwards and forwards,
in manifest agitation of mind.
'I trust not, sir,' Erskine ventured to
say,
'Young man,' said the father-in-law,
pausing and looking Erskine steadily and
sternly in the face, 'when you fail, 1 shall
be stripped of every thing,. The hard
earnings of forty industrious years will be
scattered to the winds, and I turned upon
the world, in my old age, n ithout a dollar.
Fool fool that I was, to suffer my better
convictions to he overruled!'
'you are only on my paper to the a
mnunt of about twenty thousand dollars,'
Ertikine said, after the old man had ceas
ed , speaking.
'Only twenty thousand! And pray sir,
how much do you suppose I am worth?'
'At least three times that sum,' was the
confident reply.
'You were never more mistaken in your
life, sir! I am, or rather was worth about
twenty thousand dollars, and no more.
Of course lam now a beggar!' He said
this with a bitterness of tone that touched
the heart of the imprudent and reckless
young man, and made him feel a keen
compunction for what he had done.
Bdt no affliction of mind could stay the
onward course of everts.- The morrow
came and Erskine's store was closed. He
had failed. Then came meetings of cred
itors, assignments, etc. Everything was
given up, splendid furniture and all; and
Mt s. Erskine was compelled to seek ref
uge in her father's house, foriher husband,
now a broken 'merchant,' had no place in
which to give here a s+elter. But worse
than all,lhe - hard earnings of her father

A wealthy gentleman, who lived leisure
ly. and .drank pralusely, was assisted out
of his cartage one morning in front of the
office of a celebrated physician s ,' and en
quired of the servant in atten4ance Witte
doctor was at home; being answered in
affirmative the wealthy gentleman hobbled
in, supported on one side by a crutch, and
on the oilier by a coachman, and took a
seat. Direc.tly the doctor -made his ap
pearance. and enquired the symptoms of
the patient. The
. gentleman related his
feelings as well as he could—Stated that he
could not'sleep--rould not walk—was con•
tinually oppressed with pains in the head
--swellings in his eyes and legs, and finally
every thing - "that flesh is heir to"' he was
afflicted with.
'.What have you done for yourselfl" en•
quired they physician.
"Nothing—Lonly dieted. I 'eat,nothing
hut the coarsest food, and very sparingly
of that; in fact, my wife says that I do not
eat enouo.to keep a rat alive," replied
the gentleman.
"But: you drink enough to kill an ox,
which is' a great deal worse."
"Oh, ne;;-=-you are. mistaken, sir, there.
I do not drink more than I have for the last
twenty years. That is not my clisease t rer.
tainly. But where In the world or how I
got these beautifullogs, I cannot. divine."
"I will tell you, (said the doctor,) for I
deal piainly.with all men. You got theth
Pot of a brandy bottle. Now, take_ my ad
vice. Go home; eat more and drink less,
and youyvill - soon be well."
"Doctor,' I.thonght. you were. Ei
physician, bat Lain satisfied of my Mistake
now. You live in an age 'of humbug.—
You have :fallei into the ehannel, and by
aping (I. cannot'call it real,) the practices
of its most eccentric proselytes, you have
gained an enviable name; but, sir.. it Will
avail nothing with me—l' ark 'not. to be du
ped. What is your chat ge:for this advice?
• "Five dollars
"There is the-money--good morning."
And the—wealthy gentleman crawled
back into his carriage, and was whirled-out
of sight in-a moment. The sequel: The
physician has since retired upon an ample
fortune, and is now Jiving in a green old '
age, iu the bosom of his famlly,surrounded
by every comfort, acid enjoying,,a iquiet re
pose which makes age a blessing. The
wealthy gentleman has tumbled from his
high estate, and is now a poor, degraded,
houseless,-penniless bloated drunkard, des
pised and pitied—alike a but den and a dis
grace to his friends. The grave will soon
open to . receive him, and his name will be
corne.ablank in the memory of man.
