OSE PA „ THURSDAY, JULY' 13, 1848. ! Mary Merton was a tepder,pffectionate wife, I bbt her grief on this occasion did not wholly arise from the separation. The five years of her wedded life bad been five years of care not =accompanied with privation, and her trials I had been less easy to . endrive from the knowl edge that they were principally owing to her husband's dilatory, procrastinating habits. He [willow left her and his:children with no oth er means of support than her needle was tape ble .4tif supplying, for every shilling they pos sessed was in requisition to meet the expen ses ;of the journey ho was about to under takez' . , Out hero was One of that numerous class of young men who are. without. any settled occu liation, Not having as it is termed a him for bUsiness, and his father being without' ade- 1 quate means to enable him to study for one of the:learned professions, he bad been allowed to i follow the bent of his own inclinations. His Inel l e's interest had been exerted in getting him early introduced into a respectable banking es tablishment ; he was however, speedily dis charged for want of punctuality. lie next took a situation as a clerk in a lawyer's office, but the many hours he was now confined to a desk did • not agree with his love of ease and really impaired his health ; from this position he bad descended from necessity to the coun ter: His pride would not long brook the hu tihiliations to which he was here exposed. Ad verkity had not yet taught him that valuable truth, that no occupation is really derogatory ,which is'not dishonorable, and which bas been 'Undertaken from eleiated motives ; thus he be came the sport of fortune, and the amiable and gentle young creature who had unfortunately Ifor her, linked her destiny with his, was &suf ferer with him. I Mrs. Merton was still weeping over her past trofibles and future prospects, when she was I aroused hyla well known knock at the street door. Het husband's want of prudence. and perseverance bad weaned from him every rela tive and friend save one. This was an nld schdol mate, whose liberality was only equalled by his forbearance. Charles Leicester was a character rarely met with, and still more rarely lappreciated, for in him were combined that nice; sense jof justice which permits not the claims of an enemy to be overlooked, and the warm hearted generosity which is ever ready Ito make a iacrifice of self interest in the cause of. friends*. Such-was the early visitor who was now ad mitted to :the mansion. " Ho, ho, you have I theadvant4Te of me, I perceive," he exclaimed ias he entero the apartment where the break fast apparatus gave sure indications that they had . already taken their morning meal. -"I I came with 'the intention of taking a cup of cof fee With rhu, and talking over some affairs of business 'before I went to the city." "'lt is hrt often that my husband is out so early, Mr. Leicester," Mrs. Mertm returned, whilst a faint blush suffused her before pale cheek. " Last evening's post brought a let ter from a confidential servant of Mr. Gres ham's, with intelligence of the old gentleman's approaching dissoluticm, and further stating that it was his wish that Frank should visit him immediately. "And is he really gone by the first; train ; this nrumiug," Leicester inquired -with evident surprise. The cheek of the wife was ag ain flushed as ; she faltered forth that she hope so. Scarcely however had the words escaped her lips ere she caught his figure passing' the window. I "This is surely he, cried her guest, whose I eye had been roving in the same direction, for,,' to confess the truth, both wife and friend had, from past experience, expezted. the result. "Eta, Charles, my dear fellow, how are you. I'm glad to see you," Merton exclaimed, as he I re-entered his house. " Glad to see you," he I repeated, laughing to hide his chagrin, for he would just then rather have seen even a dun. "Butwas there ever such an unlucky wight as myself ? " he jocosely added. " You were just too late, I suppose,'" Lei-1 easter drily observed. "Yes, my evil genius caused my watch to I lose ten minutes during the night, and I got toj the•terminus just after the train had started," was his reply. -" But it's my usual luck," he pettishly added, throwing his hat and cloak so carelessly on the table that the former by the' irresistible laws of gravitation speedily found I its way to the floor. Mrs. Merton quietly took up the ill used hut and busied herself in! smoothing the few remaining vestiges of bea vgron its surfaCe. . !. "Mary has told you, I suppose, where I was going this morning," the young man pursued, "but Tve very 'little hopes from uncle Gresh ant's liberality.' lie has been a prosperous, resit all his life,' everything he has touched has tiirned to - gold,nd he makes no allowances for ;the mishaps of unfortunate fellow like me. ! pb. you - retnember, Charles, his disappointing' the'of s handsome pair of globes be had 'put , s, elm od - purposely for me, because I did not meet him to the minute he appointed on tie' !Morning °tiny twelfth birth-day."

There, don't be net tled my good fellow," he resumed, perceiving a' flush of anger on the cheek ;of his. friend.

She then gave peremptory orders that a constable might be gent for, that her nephew might be-given in charge, but I td her infinite chagrin;--after Jonathan had stated the truth, no one seemed disposed to-obey her.
