servant) has done for me what aIL the reit of the

look of interest was sneeet;ded by one of mad and
mournful import.
The visitors relieved his pressing wants, spoke
kindly to his attached servant, - and left to meet
the other claims which were pressing them on
every side.
Months rolled away, and the old man removed ,
his residence far beyond the lady's walks. But j
he was not forgotten; and again and again he
was referred to with interest, and commented on I
as one of the saddest instances of the reverses of '
human fortune. A record ,of this visit Was pre 7

Paired, and he gave a continuous account of his
1 past life. To. our utter surprise, we found he
was but fiftyyears of age, though we had judged
him much older from his appearance.
We sketch his history as narrated by himself:
"I was the second son of Herman Blerinerhas
sett, bearing my father's name; and IFIN born on
the Island in the days of my father's greatest
prosperity. My infancy and childhood were
guarded by the love of a most devoted mother,
and my education during my youth was ippetly
superintended by my father at home. I
after
wards went to school in Canada, and fin ished.
Then having a predilection for the law, I enter
ed the Ace of David Codwise, in New York,
and studied three years. for that professimi. Not
.being particularly successful, I found my eatly
taste for painting revi!ing . in all its strength, and
resolved to yield to the vis ions which were forev
er floating through my brain, banishing all le
gal details, and unfitting eta for the prosecution
of that arduous profession. I placed myself un
der the instruction of Henry Inman, and soon
became a proficient in thskart, and supported my
self comfoitably by my labors. During this
time, my parents were in Canada and Europe.—
But in 1881, my father died, and my mother re
turned to this country. .We took a house in
Greenwich street (that colored woman accompa
nied her,) and, although straitened in our mesas,
did not suffer from actual poverty. My mother's
heilth and heart were broken, and she rapidly
declined. Watched by that faithful servant and
myself, she ea* peacefully,away, and was inter
red in Mr. Emmet's vomit, by a few faithful and
sympatizing friends. It is false," he exclaimed,
with the utmost indignation, "it is false, that
her last days were spent with an Irish nurse: It
is false, that slaters, of charity followed her to the
grave. She Was a member of thk Episcopal
Church, and was buried according to their form,
in Mr. Emmet's vault; and the man who wrote
that life, knows nothing of my father's history.
For all theauthentie docum eats are in that trunk,"
pointing with his finger- "and I only can supply
them. I aided Wallace to write his sketch. I
lent the papers to Matthew L. Davis, when he
wrote the life of Aaron Burr, and -I alone can
give the proper information for my father's bi
ography. Why did they not apply tome?
Aftaj my mother's death, I moved
street, where you first found me; and since then
I have lived here—an old friend paying rent,
and a kind Irish , woman assists me in my room,
etc., bet lam feeble and suffering. lam dread
ing paralysis, and, ladies, I need attention,„: and
sneb n. you. only can give."
And as he spoke, his frame shook with a
strong nervous agitation, and ho turned implor
ingly from one to the other, and was only sooth
ed by-the promise that they would do what they
could to make his declining years comfortable
and happy. May there be "light in the evening
time!"

it. How should you like every morning to hallo
your nose washed up instead of Amu? How -
should you like to have a pin put thireugh your
dress into your skin, and have to law it all day
till your clothes were taken off at eight? . Haw
should you like to be held so near the Ire that
your eyes were half soorehea out of your hied,
while your nurse was reading a_novel ?
should you like- to have a great fly light on your
nose, and. not know how to take arm at him with
your little fat, useless fingers? How should yes
like to be left alone in the room to take a asp,
and have a great pussy jump ipto your cradle, •
and sit-staring at you with her great green eyes ;
till - you were all of a tremble.? How should - you
like to reach out your hand for the prettit,ionght
candle, and find out Aar 4 was across the room,
instead of close by? tithe should you like te
tire yourself out crawling way accrues the carpet,
to pick up ti pretty button or pin, and bare it
snatched away as soon as you begin to enjoy it?

How should you like to have your mamtoa stay

ached? How would you like, wheti,your mam—
ma dressed you up all pretty, to take -the nice,
fresh air, to spend the afternoon with your nurse
in some smoky kitchen, while she spent a gossip
with one of her cronies ? Hui , should you. like
to submit to have year toes tickled by all the
little children who insisted upon "seal baby's
feet?" How shiald'yon like to have a draedlul
pain under your apron, and have eeerybody can
