I’ve wandered far from thee, mother, Far from our happy home ; I ve left the land that gave me birth, * In other climes to’ roam; And T hue, since then, has rolled his years, Aud marked them on my brow, Yet still I’ve often thought of thee— I’m thinking of thee now.

When with such earnest pri-Jo, ou watched the dawnings of my youth, Ami pressed me to your side; _ Theu love had tilled my trusting heart, % With hopes of future joy,. And thy blight fancy honots wove To deck thy “darling boy." “I entreat Monsieur not to speak of nionev; it will come soon enough,” added the tailor, who had already taken out his scissors, And passed the-measure around my waist. I was in truth in great want of clothes, and permitted him to continue. No sooner was he gone than another individual entered, who im mediately began, “My-dear monsier, you must do me a great service. Buy my house. You are rich, very rich—you want real estate.- 5 - Fifly thousand francs are nothing for you; on- florins, making altogether nearly sixty thou sand francs.” “Although as yet 1 have paid nothing?” “Without a doubt,” was the answer. “ That is singular ; but since you say so, 1 submit. I should like to make a safe invest ment of the whole; will you besokin,d as tQ specify one ?” “Oar fiVc per cents, monsieur—'Our five per cents, T know of nothing safer.

I in fir away from thee, mother. No friend is near me now, To soothe me with a tender word, Nor cool tny burning brow; The dearest ties affection wove Are all now torn from me; They left me when the trouble came — T&ey did not love like thee. I would not have thee know, mother, flow brightest hopes decay — The tempter, with hia baneful cup. Has dashed th^m all awav; A**d shame has left its venomed sting, To rack with anguish wild ! T would grieve thy tender heart to know Tho sorrow of thy child. I’m lonely and forsaken now. Unpitied and unblest; Yet still, I would not haye thee know How sorely I’m distressed ; I know thou wou.d'st not chide, mother, Thou would’st not give me pain. But cheer ine with thy softest words, And bid me hope again. I know thy tender licait. mother, Still beats as warm for ine. As when I left thee long ago, To cross the hroad blue sea; And I love thee just the same, mother, Arul I long to hear thee speak, And feel again thy balmy breath Upon my care-worn cheek.

So well did he propagate a report of my purchase that in two* hours afterwards monsieur Felix came , to me in a great hutry, apparently out of hu- j mor. “You have cut the grass from under my | feet, monsieur,” said ho ou entering. *•! can- j not do without that house, and thought it was already mine, as I had made an offer of forty- nine thousand francs, believing that the owner would sur«?ly come to my terms. But there is no hope of starving you into an agreement; so, without further preamble, I came to offer you an advance of fifteen thousand francs upon your bargain.” Fifteen thousand francs, coming I knew not how, to me, who had so much trouble in earn- ing my eight hundred francs of salary as clerk to the registry of the courts of law. Although but little acquainted with business, I saw the advantage to be derived from my position, and replied, •* it is impossible, monsieur, for mo to give you an answer at this moment, return nt five o’clock : meantime I will consider the mat ter.” At a quarter before tlm appointed hour, Monsieur Felix was again at my door. ‘-Mon sieur,” said 1, “I had no wish for that house, and did not even think about it, when the pro prietor came to beg me to purchase it; and it appears tho house is now mine.

SEYMOUR. 0 if “Nothing can be done without money,” said George, pettisb.'y; “I had a splendid project in my head, but nobody will listen to such a poor fellow as I.” AVe were three friends met together, bewail ing the rigors of fortune: our lamentations, however, took the turn tiiey usually take among companions whoso ago does not exceed twenty years. “And 1,” said Albert, “have finished a work which would create my reputation, could a publisher only be met with willing to under take the expenses of printing.” “I have asked our principal,” added I, “to increase nty salary, after four years of assidu ous service; and ho answered, that of such clerks ho could find as muny as he wished for six hundred francs a year.” “ ftly dear fellows,” interrupted George, “although we have, neither the oue nor tlie other, any hope of snaking a fortune, could we not get the credit of being rich.” “To what good ?” asked I. “It gives one a position in the world; a large inheritance augments the consideration in which wc aro held, everything becomes easy.” * “I remember,” was my answer, “ having benrd in my childhood of a cousin who went to Jamaica or Martinique, uttd never returned.” “That is just what we want: we will bring this cousin to life, or rather we will kill him.— Yes, Jaques Meran died at Martinique, leaving a sugar-plantation, fifty slaves, in short, a for tune valued at two hundred thousand francs, all to his dear cousiu Louis Meran, from attach ment to the napie.” We laughed heartily at the joke, of which I thought no more; butiny two reckless friends, George and Albert, spread abroad the tale when we broke up, with all the seriousucss im aginable. Tho next day people came to compliment me. It will of course be understood that I d s- avowed all cause; but no one would believe me; my two friends had affirmed the truth of- t' e report. 'In vain did I assert that it was all a joke ; many remembered my cousin Jaques; some hud actually seen him embark at Nantes in 1789. Among tbo number of these visits was one of not the most agreeable. AVith the whit*) of a young man, I had some time previ ously ordered a frock coat in the new fashion, without having tlie means of payment; the gar ment was worn out, and I yet owed for hall of it. There bad been for some time a coolnesS between my creditor and mysolf, whose impor tunities I wished to avoid. The rumor of the .legacy made him hasten to find me j such was the penally I paid for the foolish pleasantry of my friends. “Good day, Monsieur Matthieu,” said I, with some embarrassment as he enter ed ; “You arc come for the fifty francs?” “D-’es M msieur imagine that 1 am thinki-ig of such trifle ? No; it was for the mourning.” “What mourning ?” “The mourning for your cousin, Monsieur —the mourning for an heir-at-ruw! AYithout doubt you waul a complete suit ?” “At this time, Monsieur Matthieu, it would be impossible.” “I liopo Monsieur does noljtlmik of with drawing his favors from ine? Coat, vest, nnd pantaloons black; frock of dark bronze lor the mourning.” “I tell you again .I have not yet received ment, and therefore wrote to a commercial 1 quainted with Paris; you have perhaps but house, the only one whose address I knew, as few relatives here; come and take a family from that I received regularly an annuity of , dinner widi us fo-day: my wife will bd cle— five hundred francs left mo by one of my un- j lighted to make vour acquaintance.” cles; and which formed a welcome portion of “AVith the greatest pleasure,” my income. “We dine at six : if you have no engage- AVith what impatience I waited the expire- "tent for the evening, we shall have a few tig Iris ’anct *'Serge re'C'that, having certain j There arc but few moments which I remem- ■ * ' ber wiih more satisfaction than those of my leaving M.

I began Io be lieve in the realiiy of my fortune, and had a thousand francs in my pocket—a pleasure " ,r ?s VnU "i5ergefet t that, having certain funds to invest, I begged their advice ns the safest mode. It appeared that the words cer tain funds have very different acceptations in commerce, according to the name atjd position of him who urei them. The news of iny in heritance must have reached Paris. Certain funds, situated as 1 was, was a modest manner which had never before happened to me. The fifty golden Napoleons gave an extraordinaiy impulse; in fact I stood in great need of them, of specifying a considerable sum; at least I j Possessor of twenty thousand francs of ipco/ne, supposed so, on receiving an answer from the firm that my letter had been received ju»t be fore the close of the Cortes io&n, in which they had‘purchased to tlie amount of twenty thousand dollars ; that if l thought it too much, a large profit might be realized, as the stock had gouo up. A postscrip!, in the hand of the principal, congratulated me on my accession of fortune. Twenty thousand dollars! The leiter fell from my bends—the amount frightened nte. 1 wrote install ly to tny correspondents, inform ing them that so large a sutu went beyond my means; adding that no remittances having been received from Mat tinique, as they suppo sed, I was unable to satisfy tiieir claims. The answei cauio in a day or two, stating that, as 1 did not appear to have confidence in the Cortes loan, they had sold out my stock at a profit of eighty thousand francs; and begged me not to feel uneasy, ns remittances-were always slow in coming from the d.slant planta tions ; in the interim, my signature would fur nish me with a'l the money I could want. Tho prospectus of a German bank was in, in which fifty shares had been secured for me • Eighty thousand francs! Either I under stand nothing of commercial mailers, or tlie clerk has written ono or two noughts foo many. My situation became embarrass ng. i was overwhelmed with congratulations, especially when I put on my new suit of black. The ed itor of the newspaper thought himself obliged to give a biography of my cousin Jacques, and asked me for uddiiioual particulars. I was be sieged with annoying questions. In what-way would I furnish my house? what would Ido for public establishments? Some benevolent ladies wrote to recommend to my notice the in stitutions under their guard unship. I was ru ined in postages; for in the midst < f all my riches, whether real or imaginary, 1 had no mo ney. _Fortunately from tho moment 1 was held to be rich, tto one would take a sou from me, uud tradesmen courted the honor of giving me credit. At last J decided on going to Paris. Im mediately on my arrival, 1 went to my bankers; who received me as tbo inheritor of great wealth. “I regret,” said M. Jdcrgeret, “that you mist rusted the Spanish l an, for the stock has gone up. No matter, however, you have some left.” “ Will you have tho goodness, monsieur,” said I, “to tell me precisely how much all these funds are worth which you have bought for me ? * “The calculation is easy. Twenty thousand dolla s, at so much the dullar: and the sum nl. ready paid. If you sell to-day you will put about two hundred aud twenty thousand francs into your pocket.” I opened both ray oars. “You say mon- ( sieur two huudtbd and twenty thousand ? Are you quite certain ?” “As certain as any ono can be within a few hundred francs.” I did not wish to appear too much tlie novice, and replied, “That is well; you spoke also of a bank?” “Yes; tho ostuhlUhment of this bank lias met with some difficulties; but tlie affair is not less good'; wo are on tho eve of terminating it, and the scrip is well up.” “Could that scrip be sold ?? I inquired- “You hold fifty shares,” replied tlie banker, “which have advanced four bundled and fifty I was obliged, on my arrival in Paris, to leave my trunk at tiie office of the diligence, not hav ing the means of paying for a lodging. 1 now hastened to redeem it, and afterwards took a coach to the first hotel pointed out to mo, whero I established myself in a handsome apartment and put'on my suit of mourning. I arrived with so much punctuality at Mr. Ber- gere'-’s that he had scarcely time to finish tell ing my history to his wife. She had heard enough to cause me to be received as a friend of the bouse. Every one did the amiable to me; I met beautiful women; and overheard whispered remarks made upon me—modest i bearing ; great skill; splendid business talent. Taus, wiien Mr. Bergeret entreated me to re gard his house as that of my own, I promised willingly, alihough I could profit but little by the invitation. Madame Hugues would have me to dine, when I met with other introduc tions aad invitations. 1 was taken to the thea tre and to parties. Now, that l was rich, I could almost confine my expenses to some few presents and foes. Meantime my two friends, George and Al bert, had heard with alarm of the success of their report the (ruth of which they dare no longer deny. They had been frightened by my departure for Paris', which all the world attributed to difficulties in the liquidation"o)' my debts ; and feared that 1 Imd suffered my self to be deceived by wjiat was concerted be tween us merely asajoko. Three days after my return from Paris, my servant announced their names. “Let them oome in7 was my reply; for 1 did not receiyo all the world. On seeing my handsome timo piece and gilt candelabra, and the new furni ture wiih which I had decorated my apartmei J they opened tlieii eyes in consternation. “ Tt ere is much difficulty in gaining admis sion here,” said Albert. “Yes; I am beseiged by"persons with all sorts of solicitations,and projects; but you, my dear friends—you will be afwajs welcome. You are come just in timo to accompany me'to an estate which I have thoughts ol purchasing. It is not a large affair—one hundred thousand francs.” “ I take it to be some distance off,”_ said George, with a significant jerk of his head. “ Two leagues only, but 1 will take you in my carriage.” . • “ Your carriage ?” “ Yes, my carriage L” “You have a carriage?” “ Yes-; and two dapple-gray horses which I brought from Paris ; as yet, I have no saddle- horsi-S ; they being more difficult to find.?’ My two friends retired to oue of the win dows, where they whispered to one another, looking all the time very lugubrious. “ Dear Louis,” they said, “you know that your cousin is not -lead ?” “ I don’t know that he bo dead, for I am not very certain that he ever lived!” “You know that this story about your in heritance is all a joko ?” “I am persuaded’ that only ycu and I be lieve 89,’h, was my answer. “ We have done great wrong,” rejoined my friend, “great wrong, in what was intended on ly as fun. It causes us much sorrow,” “ On the contrary, I thank you for it.” “ It is our duty to disavow it; we aie going io public to declare ourselves guilty.’** * ;
