Whereupon a Consultation was convened at,

to say.
While, therefore, Richard Millet proceeded
to inform. the neighbors that his uncle had
been found detid in his bed, and nothing more.
Mere - woe -- eionet4ing like-- disappointment

very coolly.; ..,14ot so, however, with his wife

iting any of the hoardings _of_ old._ Peck,,t he,
owner of nearly all the houses in the court,
and the reputed possessor of an account at a
bank in the city, was too much for her. The
wildest hopes were ezeited in her mind; she
geoid think and talk of nothing else.
t• Well Richard," was her concluding re, ,
mark that, night, ••we've been happy all these
years, and yet we've never seen the color of
his money:. and, After AV, 'lie can do without
it. • If lie should leave us anything. it won't
ho that we've been seeking for it.:
,nobody can

When the morrow came. and the miser had
been laid in, a grave hallowthl by no tears nor
fender memories, the will was opened in the
presence of Richard Mallet .and his wife, in
otte'of the deserted rooms of the miser's house.
Through the half-open shutters, a scant sun
beam streamed on , he wig of - the old lawyer
-reading the will, and made a track of dancing
motes across the dusky air. Mrs. Mallet sat
on a worm-eaten tihest (there like only'mie
chair in the room that occupiedby the lawyer)
and Richard• holding his hat in his hand,
stood by the side of his wife.
The old lawyer read the preliminary clauses
of the will, to which both his bearers listened
attentively; the one with respect for the big
words, the other with a patient endeavor to
grasp their meaning.

cried as though her heart would break, till
the milk-man came around with the morning's

It was a long day at home. Jessie wondered
what made her mother so sad and absent, and
why she sat and looked at her so strangely at
times
•- " Are you angry, mother ?" asked the child
once, as she caught one of these fixed looks
upon her.
"Angry; bairn? talk—don't talk.—

the dazzling visions those words raised before

“Call Jessie here,'..' said Richard,. sitting

.
And Jessie came to her father's chair and
looked up Wistfully into his face. it. was some
thing new to feel afraid of father; but Jessie,
did feel so, as she beheld tho way in which no
looked at her.

"Jes,ie, my girl, I want to talk to you,"

SMITH IN TOE. JONES FAMILY .— WeII- _
after dark I put up with a first-rate, good na..
tured fellow that I met at the' billiard table. ,
I went.in was introduced to his wife, a 'ffne,
fat woman. looking as tho Ugh she lived on
latfin', her face WAS so full of fun. Atter a -
a while, after we'd talked about my girl, and
about the garden and the weather, in come •
three or four children lutfin' and skipping as
merry as crickets. There was no candle lit,
but I could see .that 'they were fine looking
follows,ouid I started for my saddlebags, in -
which I had put a lot of sugar eandy• as I
went along.
." Comohere," said I, "you little rogue;
come here andlell me what your name is:
The oldest, came to me and says; "My name
is Peter Jones."
" And what's your name, sir 1"
"Bob Jones."
—,The-next said-his namOvas,--Bill-Jenes,—
and the fourth said his name was Tommy
Jones.. I gave 'em s'o'ur candy, and old Mrs.
Jones was so tickled that she laughed all the
time. Mr. Jones looked on, but didn't say
much.
:'Why," says I, "Mrs. Jones, I would not
take a pod deal for them four boys, if I had'
'ern, they are so beautiful and vprightly."
" No; says she, laffin, '• I sot a good deal
on 'em, but we spoil 'em too mech.'.
" No, no," says I, "they're well behaved
children, and by gracious," says I, pretend
ing-to be startled-by-a-striking resemblance
between the boys and father, and I looked at
Mr. Jones, " I never did see anything to e.'
goal it," says. I, "your own eyes, mouth,-fore.
head, and perfect picture of link, sir," tap._
ping the eldest on the pate.
I thought that Mrs: Jimes would have died
laughin', at that, her arms fell down by her
,
side and she shook the whole house.
4 .D0 you think so, Mr. Smith ? said - she
looking towards Mr. Jones, and I thought
she'd go off in a fit.
" Yes," says I, " I do really."
" llaw, haw, haw," says Mr. Jones, kind
o' lain," you are too hard on me, now, with
your jokes."
"I ain't a jokin'-at all,"mays I; they 'are ,
handsome children, and do look wonderfully
like . you."
Just then a gal brought a light in, and
be darned if the little brats didn't turn onkto
be niggers, every one of 'ern, and their heads
curly all over. Mr, : and Mrs. Jones never
had any children, and they pettedthem nig.
Ors Be playthings. I never felt so streaked
as I did when I found out how -things stood. '
