(Mr. Ikajiffe - Protege.-- Cold inuel from first
page.)
One day Mr. Bonfig deemed the time
had arrived to complete .his plans for
the education of Luigi. - He would bike
him to Italy, where certain finishing
lessons from a celebrated maestro, and .a
necessary cours3 of dramatic and stage
instruction, would render hint fit to
open his professional campaign, and re
veal to the theatrical world a new tenor.
Mr: Bonfig understood that the maestro
in question had the talent of pushing
.proniiiiing pupils, and that his recom
meti4iition alone was Sufficient to indnee
managers to come forward with brillia"nt
offers. He spoke of his intentions to
his portege, and then it was that
_tie
learned for the first that Luigi hid
a sweetheart.
She was some little litimbre work
girl, whom the Italian, bad known and
"kept company" within the days when
he was poor and friendless. His change
of fortune had not altered his affections,
and the :two were now anxious to marry.
Luigi would do nothing without the
sanction and consent of hiis benefactor,
but be pointed out respeclntly that he
was very much in love, that they .had
been waiting hopefully for along while;
and that now, with this jOiirney to Italy
'before him, he felt emboldened to state
his case, and to ask permission to be al
lowed Wake her with him as his wife.
She would be no additional expense;
the sum that Mr. Bonfig paid over to
him was liberal enough to maintain
three wives, not to speak of one.
This was Mr. Bonfig's first touch of
grief, after a long; and uninterrupted
period of happiness. He had never
dreamed of Luigi being like other young
meu, subject to the affluence of blood
to the heart, which is called" love, and
1 bad formed pet_theories of his own on
,
the score of artists, and , one of 'them
4 was that celibacy was a desirable quali
fication. He looked •rather grave,
therefore, when his protege laid bare
this new phase of character.
'You desire to marry, my friend,' he
said. 'The feeling is natural, very,
natural at your age. I admit; but let
me ask yon, have yon given this matter
serious consideration ?
Luigi replied that his affection for
the young wcmln was the growth of
years, and that one of the ambitions of
his life was to - make her his wife.
'Well, well,'' said Mr. Bonfig, sup
, •
pose I ought not to be surpiised,
though I confess you have given me
something of a shock. You see, Luigi,
my friend, your position is consider
ably changed now; you are in a fair way
of becoming a somebody; your pros
pects in life are promising, exceedingly
prothising. . Through your industry,
good-will and natural capacities—
which have' surpassed my most sanguine
anticipation—you are about to take a
place in the world superior, far super
ior, I hope, to your past or present;
and, and—don't you think now, that a
tie of the kind you mention would—
would—deai'me ! how shall I put it ?
hem ! prejudice Yonr future.?'
Luigi, seeing ti•at his patron scarcely
approved ot the -contemplated union,
bowed his head sadly, and lookad the
picture of misery.
'Far be it for me,' continued Ebe
nezer, who detested the thought of
seeming unkind, 'to seek to influence
you in any way, or to appear to exert
an authority Ito which I distinctly wish
•to have no- claim. You are at liberty
to act as you please; and I--I am merely
offering you the counsel of a friend.
This—ahem !-- r this young person—a
most lovable girl in all other respects,
no doubt—is—is, I imagine, scarcely
fit to take her place in the world to
which you will have a right to belong;
don't you think that if you could—if
you-could now, say, go to Italy alone,
and see how you bear. absence from
tier fora little while, come to a better
end calmer experience of this affec
tion ?' -
Mr. ! Bout:1g was obviously getting a
little entangled, and paused, .relieved
by the idea that he had contrived to
convey his meaning.
Luigi stillhung his head very low.
4 1 fove her,' he said simply, 'and she
loves me; I shall always love her, and
she will always love me.'
'Yes, yes, no doubt,' said Ebenezer,
trying to smile; "thilt is how lovers talk
as a rale, I believe. Well, let us drop
the subject far the; present, and =eider
that I have said nothing. I—l don't
wish to influence you in the matter at
‘all; you are free to dispose of yourself
as you please. The news has come up
on me rather suddenly, that's all, and
that is why I have spfiken. We can re
sume the conversation another tithe—
another time, my friend.
In the evening Mr. Bontlg's laundress
entered his sitting-room, and intiinated,
with matronly indignation, that there
was a !young person', waiting in the 'hall
who desired to see him.
'Somebody wishing to see me ?' asked
Ebenezer.
'Yes, sir; a young person.' Ominous
emphasis on the word 'person.'
9De:ir me ! who can it be?' said Bon
fig puzzled, and positively blushing
under the severe glance of his attend-
aut. 'Are yon quite sure there is no
mistake, Mrs. Partington ?'
'No, it 'ain't 'no mistake,' said the
virtuous female; 'she' asked for you
right enough.'
'Dear Imo !' exclaimed Mr. Bontlg
. once more. :suppose you
had better4sk-her to eotiie in.'
The laundress sailed oilewith a stately
sweep, and in another moment led in a
Wahl, poorly, bat neatly' clad yowl
girl.
'Pray be seated,' said Mr. Bonfig
courteously, though a trifle nervous , ind
contused.
- The new•comer seemed evidently in
some sore distress of mind.
'Oh, sir eher ; eaid, half inclined to
buret into teara, "I hope I haven't done
wrong in coming, but I couldn't stay
at home toy Longer without easing my
heart.'
I
.Try and collect your my child,'
eacd Mr. Boring. pat9rnally.r
' 'You are the gentleman who has been
so good to Louis ?' she asked. 'Oh,
sir, I am his sweet-heart, _and ..II have
come to tell you whas a bad, wicked
girl I am; and tfi ask you to forgive me
and not to lie aim with Lords?' She
began to cry bifterly.
'Don't giro wity,lmy child,' said Bon
kmdly, 'tell me your sorrow, and if
there is anything Lean do-,'
'lt's all on my account that he'e die
pleased you,' continued the girl. 'lt's
aa my fault; it was I who pressed him
to marry me; You see, air, we've been
waiting a long while, and his going
away all those miles seemed, as if he
would forget mei and I should never
see him any more, and lam so fond of,
him I I worried him into it, but I can
see now that a poor ignorant girl like
Me isn't fit for him, :and I've coma to
tell that I give him back his promise,
and will never see him again ! I hadn't
the heart to tell him this afternoon, so
I've come to tell you.' A wild fit of
sobbing no longer 'to be restrained,-
seized her, and she broke down&
Mr. Bonfig had never despised him
self so much as he despised himself
now. He was a • villain! a scoundrel!
that's what he was; and, -what is more.
he had been trying to make villains of
others. What right had' ha to interfere
in the love affairs of these two young
people? What right had he to break
the heart of the pretty, decently-spoken
girl, crying her eyes out before him?
Did he think because he had beta help-,
ing a man on a bit in life—actuated
more by foolish vanity than any real
honest motive—that he had the right to
tie the arbiter of two existences,. to set
tle imperiously the fate of a strong and
honorable attachinent? Wasn't mar
triage a natural thing? Hadn't he, Bon
fig, been Married and happy? He
thanked Heaven, however, that the
girl had had the good sense V) come to
him in good time.. He would set mat
ters right at once.
'Don't cry any more, there's a good
child,' he said, tenderly patting the
girl's shoolder. Tam pot in the f . least
angry with Louis; I Over was, and you
shall marry him to-Moriew if you! like,
only don't cry any more, my. dear, I
can't bear to see you crying? E4reme
ly.,,affeeted'the old gentleman blew. his
nose vigorously. 'Dry yotir eyes :like
a Tensible girl.' -he continued; '1.,,,511, all
atik Louis to-morrow to forgive me„end
I ,
ylm'shall both marry and go _.tou r_ ly
together. I alone am'to blame i all
this; Pm an old fool, and I kno*- t it,
only don't cry arty more.' i
His persuasions by degrees had ?their
effect, and the young woman ,soon ;re.;
covered her spirit, and left with lier
heart full of gratitude and veneration
1 for her sweetheart's benefactor: Luigi,
*hose whole being had been racked by
the torments of love, and the conscious
oess of his obligations to Mr. &ring,
nearly broke down the next day, at
this further proof of his patron's good
ness, and swore loudly that there was
not a nobler man on the face of the
earth. 'The two married, and Ebenezer,
who had come down very handsomely,
and insisted , upon giving 1 the girl a
check representing four figures, as a
wedding gift, accompanied them. to
Italy, and exerted himslf actively oulis
protege's behalf. In six months Luigi
made his appearance in Milan, as EAlgar•
do;caused a real genuine furore, and
Mr. Bonfig's dreamt watirealiied. '
From that day fame and success
showered their sweetest smiles upon the
ex-waiter. He sang in the principal
Italian and Feenoti theatres, and Mr.
Bond& who had returned to F,ugland,,
read of these triumphs in the news l
papers with exulting eagerness--till,
disaster happened which absorbed his
whole thoughts and time.
The City of Glasgow Bank failed, and
Mr. Bond& who was one of the ,princi
pal shareholders, found himself la beg
gar. Not . a beggar in a comparative
sense, but a beggar in the fullst and
sternest acceptation of the term. lie
was one of - the , one thousand ruins'
brought about by that celebrated con
fern. He was the soul of honesty, and
surrendered every farthing; he was the
soul of pride, and morbidly shunned all
his friends, hiding himself, and endeav
oring to earn daily bread. But what
could this . poor old gentleman do,
amidst the cruel press and strife of the
coarser inilliOns, fighting for a bare ex
istence? He bail been accustomed to
the easy life of a MAU of means; he
knew not one of the thousand practical
forms of work by which money may be
earned; he was timid and keenly senst
tive,'aud he was getting very old. His
spirit was broken. He became like a
man in a dream.
Not even he himself could have told
you how he contrived, day by day, to
prolong an existence which had become
a burden to him. It was a bitter
dream to him, and halved in it; and it
must have been while. his thoughts were
in this Upas-saented dreamliind,that he
found himself one mutiny June day _in'
Regent-sts, slowly walking, one of a
chain of men, by the aide of the curb
stones, bearing strppeil to his shoulders
. a flaming poster -announcing a perform
ance at the Opera House, aud the. ap
pearance of a new singer.
Admit that Dame Fortune' can be
brutally cynical when she likes. She,
had so willed it. that byra strange fatality
the man who had been the declared
friend of a host of past celebrites, and
the constant and liberal supporter of the
opera, should be turned, in his declin
ing years, into its 'sandwich!' Yes, that
is to ... whit the Poor old gentleman had
coui. Reduced to the verge of starva
tion, there soon came the moment when
be did not know how to procure even
the- hardest of crests, without seeking
the cold charity of a work house. • One
day, whibit lingering—taking hood care.
however, 'to avoid observidiOn--ziear
the dobr of the Opera Souse, La noticed
a motely group of ill-dreled men
'Ambling in and out' of Ithe•l'dark and
narrow side entrance. They went in
free from turden and came ont again
loaded with • huge placarded iipards.
Bondi timidly ventured to question
one of these men, and, - mach as the
freemasonary of sorrow, got to be in, a
very brief time on tl4 confidential
terms of a fellow 'mate' with him.
'l'm a sandwich man, , that's wot I
am,' said his newly-formed acquaintance
in a hoarse, foggy voice.; 'And I gets
a shillin' a day for We cairying of this
yore board. Its' a 'ard life, mate,
.but
it's better nor theiworkus, and I s can
allus get my two penworth of rum, and
a blow out o' taters....
It was indeed, a hard ,life as Bonfig
Himself experienced, when, driven by
absolute despair, he pfacful biinself un•
der the the tutelar guidance of his not
unkindly companion in midortnne. and
just kept body and soul r miserably to
gither day after day,_ Bonfg with his
white hair streaming under,

attempt at tidieesa and ' cleanliness,:
was stilLyeillognizable; `and he tru = dged

with that stony expression on his fad*
which intense suffering and -misery
have that power
. of impartiilg to the
biavestand best resigned. -
As a 'contrast, there canna walking on

England could :boast of one day of
sunshine, at least; and pleased with the
world at large; and with himself in par

ton, every fold of whose coat seemed to
proclaim in large letters the Word 'enc l .
cess,' could have no possible reason for
starting at the sight of _a poor old ragged
sandwich man, and Yet he did.
- not only started, but he went
close up to the man, aniblooked straight
into his face.
'Cicle!' he e*claimed, 'can it be be ?
It is'!
Bonfig looked up in mute surprise.
'Luigi,: lie said, calmly and gently, as
though' a few hours instead of years had
separated them.
'Yes, 'Luigi,' answered the • other,
tearing, in's frantic State of excitement,
the poster from Mr.: Bonfig's back, and
kicking it into the .1 road—a doubly
meritorious not, since it—was his own
name he was hurling in the dust. 'This
is why my letters hava'-uever been an
swered ! This is how my inquiries
have all led to nothing I Maria Ma

He hailed a passing Cab, and lifted
\ •
Bonfig bodily into it.

unable to express his feelings in . any
thing save his native language, and all
but weeping over his - old patron.
'Have I, Luigi,' rota cosa du uiente f

state ? you bad man to do Wei'
He shook his fist at him in downright
good anger.
They drove to a substantial-looking
house in Bloomsbury, and Bonfig soon
found himself on a sofa, #1 a pleatant
room, surrounded by the loving glances
and affectionate caresses - of Luigi and
hist Wife. He listened to' ;their story,
his Old smile gradually finding! its way
back to his lips. His protege bad gone

now England was at last anxious to hear

In time, Mr.,,Bonfig rose mechanically
to go. •

BY MOS. JENNIE Lt.

We are commended by( , lotir divine
Master to follow after thol3l.,things 'that
make for us eternal welfare/ `, We are to
"depart froin evil and dO good, seek
peace and persue it." We are not only
commanded to seek that spiritual
peace that the
by
Spirit gives unto
all,those who by sincere repentence and
au humble faith in His¢ name, are
brought from nature's darkness into the
glorious light of . the gospel of truth,
and who sho w by their lives and by
their good works, that they seek a city,
an Heavenly city "whose foundation
and builder is God."
We are also commanded to follow
after charity, and peace with all men,
and holiness without which no man Can
see the Lord; lookingdiligcntly lest any
man fail of the grace o God lest a root
of bitterness springingmp, trouble, and
thereby many be defiled.
The apostle Paul iri r l his affectionate
epistle.to the Roman churches; gives
them this beautiful elthiftation. "i be
seech you therefore brethren by the
mercies of God, that`4e present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy receptable
unto God, which is , your reasonable
service. And be not confirmed to this
world, but be ye transformed, by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may
have what is that good nt] acceptable,
and - perkci, will . of God." For the
-kingdom of - Heaven ! is not in meat and
drink, but righteousness, antl'peace and
joy in the Holy Ghotit.
When the dear Musters was about to
leave his beloved diciples and they were
partaking with•him for the last time.
the Passover supper, .a new commai3d
meet, give He unto them. "That ye
love one anotiier, us I have lov . eil you,
that ye also love, oee another," and He
comforted them witUthe promise of the
Holy Spirit, which the 'Father would
send in His name, that it would teach
them all things, and , brhig to remem
brance all thlt He had taught them on
:former occasions when they enjoyed'
ed sweet intercourse with him; on the
beautiful shores of IJordan—in sweet
Galilee—on the Mount of Olives, in the
upper chamber, and a: the house of
1 Lazarus,' where Martha served the
dear Lord, and Marytsat in reverence at
his feet, .to learn the blessed trutbes
that His infinite• wisdom revealed.
And in tbe'last communion with them
before Eis Crucifiction, He pronOunced
this beautiful 'and touching benedic
tion. "Peace I leave with you, my
peace I give unto you; not as the . world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not
your hearts be troubled, neither let it
be afraid." .
Then if we folloW in the footsteps of
the blessed Rodeemer, we are to follow
in the rugged paths - that lead up
to the Getheemna and CAlvery of self
sacrifice if needs be, as well as in the
pleasant communions with the dear
friends assembled •on the shores of
Jordon, on the Lake of Galilee in the
upper chamber and on the Mount of
Beatitudes, where was given that im
mortal sernioi—ivhiph liveS and glows
and burns in the heart of every sincere
Christian since it was , firat promulgated
to the; world, which gives us rules
whereby to guide our lives,that - He whO
runs may profit thereby. What heaven

church, to hear such words from the
lips of the'Great Teacher, who spoke as
never man spoke.. Apples of gold, :in ;
pictures of silver. 'Did .he open his'
mouth—pearls of wistioM and truth fell
from his Divine lips—did he sit among
the publicans and sinners he taught
them "He was the way, the truth and
thelife" and' converted them. Did he
unite to his beloved diaciples-He con

" Teaching them all things ; ;that what , -;

you, do ye nnto them." How favored'
that company where he condescended
to sit, and thatchurch' that heard the ;
