. a
man of my word." I So spoke Mr. Ingot
Beardmore, drysalter land common coun
cilman of the city of London,to Dorothea
Elizabeth, his widowed sister•inlaw, who
had applied to him fir peuniary succor
about three months after the death of his
younger brother Isaae;her hut•baOd. There
were,harsimess and stuborn detei;wination
enough in his reply,bJt there was uci nig
gard cruelty. Mrs. Isaac wanted money,
it is true, but only inlthe sense lin which
we all want it. She was only poor in com
parison with the great, wealth of ilia rel
ative by marriage. Her income gas large
enough for, any ordinary-3lr. *got said

for sending her boy!e to Eton,andficishing
him off at. the universities, as it was the
maternal wish id do. Mr. Ingot hated
such genteel inteiltiOns ; Christ's llosiiital
had been a fasl i thinable enough school{ for
him, and he had ''finished off' as a clerk

for Uncle Ingot slippers and book-mark
for his birthday, and sent to him their
best wishes at Christmas in Rimmel's
highly-'scented envelopes ; in vain Jack
sent hilts a pound of the most excellent
snuff that Bacon's emporium could fur
nish, at - the begiuning of every term. He
always wrote back a civil letter of thanks
in a clear and clerkly letter, but thete,
was never ,any 'enclosure. When Mrs.
Isaac asked him td, dinner, be declined in
a caustic roanner,+avowing that he did
not feel himself comfortable at the aristo
cratic tables of the West End,—and sent
her a pine-apple for the desert,of his own
growing. He had really no ill-feeling
towards his relatives, although he kept
himself so estranged from them; but I
think this sort. of conduct tickled the old
gentleman's grini sense of humor if he
could have found some legitimate excuse
for "making up" with his sister-in-law,
within the first year or two of their fall
out, perhaps he would have been glad to
do so; but tima had now so widened the
breach, that it was not to be easily re-,
paired. What be had satirically written,
when he declined her invitation had grown ;
to be true; he rarely went into society, I
and almost never into the company of
dies, the eider portion of whom be con-
sidered frivolous and vexatious, and the;
younger positively dangerous. He bad al

whom he kept up a cordial intercurse,and
spent with them various festivals of the

On theist of December, fur instance,'

ings in these school days that had passed ,
away more than half a century ago Tom
and Isaac had been even greater cronies
as boys than Tom ana Ingot—the latter
did not like Tom the less upon that ac
count; secretly, I thiuk he esteemed him
the more highly as a link between him
self and that, luckless family whose very
, existence be yct chose to ignore', Mr.
Whafiles bad intimate relations with them
still ; they came down to stay wi4l him
whe h: 'st - -id him a visit, and
cheek. Mr. Beardmore's breath was BO
utterly taken away by this assault, that
he remained speechless, but his; couute•
speccuiees,
nance was probably more full of expression
than it had ever been in his life.l "0 no,
I am not mad," laughed she in reply to it;
"although I have taken a fancy to such a
wonderful old creature. NOW, come, if I
kiss you again, what will , You give me ?"
"I shall give you in charge to the police
madani,the instant that I arrive at Read
ing:,
"(jive me in charge l What for you
curious piece of antiquity 1"
"For an assault, madam; yes, for an
assault. Don't you know that you have
no right to kiss people without their con
sent in this manner?"
Here the. young lady laughed so vio
lently that the tears came into her eyes.
"Do you suppose; you poor old doting
creature, that any body will ever believe
such a story as that ? Do you ever use
such a thing as a looking-glass, you poor
dear? Are you aware how very unpre
possessing your appearance is even when
you don't frown, as you are doing now in
a manner that is enough to frighten one ?
You have, of course, a pet right to
your own opinion, but if yOu suppose the
!police will agree with you l you will find
!yourself much mistaken. The !idea of
anybody wanting to kiss jou will reason•
ably enough appear to them preposterous."
"What is it you require of me, you,
wicked creature?" cried the old bachelor
lin an agony of shame and rage.
"I want payment for my kiss. To a gen
tleman at your time of life, who could
scarcely expect to be so favored, surely it
is wort it,—w hat shall I say?—five pounds.
What! not so much ?—Well, tben.here's
an l other for your other cheek." Like a
fish of lightntng,she suited the action to
her words. "There,then, five paunds for
the two, and I won't take a shilling less.
You will have to give it to the poor's box
atlthe police station, if not to me. For
I intend,in case you are obstinate,to come
plitiu of your disgraceful condUct to the
guard, at the first
,opportunity. I shall
give you into custody, sir, as sure as you
are alive. You will be put upon your

"Yes, uncle," said the young lady de
murely, "Here is your five-pound note t
please give me that five thousand which
you promised mamma Weyer she or hers
got five pounds out bf you; for you are a
man of your word, I know. But what
would be better still would be, to let me
kiss you once move, in the character of
your dutiful neieq; and let us all love
you as we want tordo. It was an auda
cious stratagem, I admit, but I think you
will forgive me,—come."
-There go, the church-bells I" cried'l

dresses in neat taste and demeans him

five a Senator. •
