lilisrellnmj. PETER CHANCERY, ESQ., AND IS FIVE DOLLARS. Showing the Blessings that may follow the Settlement of the Smallest ac counts. BY PROFESSOR INGRAHAM. 14 Sir, if you please, boss would like you to pay this little bill to day,” said for the tenth time, a hall grown boy in a dirty jacket, to a lawyer in his office. The attorney at length turned round and stared at the boy full in the face, as if he had been some newly discovered specimen of zoo logy, gave a long whistle, thrust his inky fingers first into one pocket and then into the other of his black cloth vest, and then gave another long whistle, and completed his stare at the boy’s face. ‘‘Ho, ha, hum ! that bill, eh?”— said the legal young gentleman ex tending the tips of his fingers to wards the well-worn bit of paper, and daintily opening it, looked at its contents. “Hum! —for capping and heel capping, six shillings—tor foxing, ten and sixpence,and other sundries eh ? So your master wants me to settle this bill, eh ?” repeated the man of briefs. “Yes, sir; this is the nineteenth time I have come for it, and I intend to knock off at twenty, and call it half a day.” “You’re an impudent boy.” “ l’s always impudent *o lawyers coz I can't help it—it’s catchin.” “You’ve got your eye teeth cut I see.” “That’s what boss sent me for, instead of the ’prentices as was get tin’ their teeth cut ; I cut mine at nine months old with the hand-saw. Boss says if you don’t pay the bill he’ll sue you.” “Sue me? I’m a lawyer !” “It makes no odds. Lawyer or no lawyer, boss declares he’ll do it, so fork over.” “Declares he’ll sue me?” “As true as there is another law yer in all Filadelphy.” “ That would be bad.” “ Wouldn’t it ?” “ Silence, you vagabond! I sup pose I must pay this,” muttered the attorney to himself. “It is not my plan to pay these bills. What is a lawyer’s profes sion good for, if he can’t get clear of paying his own bills ? He’ll sue me! ’Tis just five dollars. It comes hard, and he don’t want the money. What is five dollars to him? His boy could have earned it in the lime he has been sending him to dun me for it. So your mas ter will sue me for it if I don’t pay ?” “ He says he will do it and charge you anew pair of shoes for me.” “Harkee ; I can’t pay to-day ; and so if your boss will sue me, just be so kind as to ask him to em ploy me as his attorney.” “ You ?” “Yes; I’ll issue the writ, have it served, and then you see I shall put the cost into my own pocket, in stead of seeing it go into another lawyer’s. So you see if 1 have to pay the bill I’ll make the cost, capi tal idea.” The boy scratched his head a while as if striving to comprehend th is capital idea, and shook it doubt inglv. “1 don’t know about this; it looks tricky. I’ll ask boss though if as how you won’t pay it no how without being sued.” “I had rather he sued, if he’ll employ me, boy.” “ But who is to pay them costs —the boss?” The lawyer looked all at once very serious, and gave another of those long whistles peculiar to him. “Well, I’m a sen>ible man. truly 1 My anxiety to get the costs of suit blinded me lo the fact that they were to come out of my own pocket before they could be safely put in. Ah, well, my boy, i 1 must pay. Here’s a five dollar gold piece ; is he bill receipted? it is so ditty ind greasy, 1 can t see.” “ It was nice and clean when boss .tin it to me, and the writin’ shined like Knapp’s blackin’ —it is torn so i dunnin’ so much.” “ Well, here’s your money,” said the man-of-law, taking a soli*ary five dollar piece from his watch-fob, now’ tell your master, Mr. Last, if he has any other accounts he wants sued, I’ll attend to them with the greatest pleasure.” “Thank’ee, sir,” answered the boy, pocketing the five, “ but you is the only reg’lar dunnin’customer boss has ; and now you’ve paid up, he haint none but cash folks. Good day to you.” “ Now there goes five dollars that will do that fellow Last no good. 1 am in want of it, but he is not. It is a five thrown away. It wouldn't have left m v pocket but that I was sure that his patience was wore out, and costs would come of it. 1 like to take costs, b it l don’t think a lawyer has anything to do with paying them.” As Peter Chancery did not be lieve, in his own mind, that paying his debt to Mr. Last was to be of any benefit to him, and was of opin ion that it was money thrown away, let us follow the fate of those five dollars through the day. “He has paid!” said the boy, placing the money in his master’s hand. “ Well, I’m glad of it,” answered Mr. Last, surveying the money through his glasses—and it’s a half eagle too. Now run with it and pay Mr. Furnace the five dollars 1 borrowed from him yesteiday, and said l would return it to-morrow. But I'll pay it now.” “ Ah, my lad come just in time,” said Mr. Furnace, as the boy de livered his errand and the money. “ I was just wondering where 1 could get five dollars to pay a bill which is due to-day. Here John,” he eafied, to one of his apprentices, “ put on your hat and take this money to Captain O’Brien, and tell him l came wilhin one of disap pointing him, when some money came in 1 didn’t expect.” Captain O’Brien was on board his schooner at the next wharf, and with him was a seaman with his hat in his hand, looking very gloomy as he spoke with him. “ I’m sorry, my man, I can’t pay you —but I’ve just raised and scraped the last dollar I can get above water, to pay my insurance money to-day, and have not a cop per left in my pocket to jingle, but keys and old nails.” “ But I’m very much in need, sir; my wife is failing, and my fam ily are in want of a good many things just now, and I got several articles at the store, expecting to get money of you to take them up as I went along home. We haint in the house no flour, nor tea, nor ” “ Well, ni}’ lad, I’m sorry. You must come to-morrow. 1 can’t help you unless I sell my coat of! my lack, or pawn my schooner’s kedge. Nobody pays me.” The sailor who had come to get an advance of wages turned away sorrowfully, when the npprentice loy came up and said in his hear ing— “ Here, sir is five dollars Mr. Furnace owes you. He says when he told you he couldn’t pay your bill to-day, he didn’t expect some money that came in after you left the shop.” “Ah, that’s my fine bov! Here Jack, take this five dollars, and come on Saturday and gel the bal ance of your wages.” The seaman, with a joyful hound, took the piece and touching his hat sprung with a light heart on shore, anti hastened to the store where he had alrea.l\ selected the com Torts and necessities his family stood so much in need of. As he entered, a poor woman was trying to prevail upon the store keeper to settle a demand for making his shirts. 1 “You had best take it out of the store, Mrs. Conway,” he said to her; “ really 1 have not taken in half the amount of your bill to-day, and I don’t expect to. 1 have to charge every thing, and no money comes in.” “ I can’t do without it,” answered the woman earnestly, “my daugh ter is very ill and in want of every comfort; I am out of firewood, and indeed I want many things which I have depended upon this money r to get. I worked night and day to get your shirts done.” “ I’m very sorry, Mrs. Conway,” said the store-keeper, looking into bis money drawer; “ I’ve not five shillings here—and your bill is five dollars and ninepence.” The poor worn in thought of her invalid child, and wrung her hands. 4 A s ilor was here a while ago, and selected full five dollars worth of articles here ori the counter, and went away to get his wages to pay for them, but I question if he comes back. If he does and pays for them you shall have your money madam.’ At this instant Jack made his ap pearance in the door. ‘Well, ship-mate,’ be said in a tone much more elevated than when he was discovered speaking with the captain, “well, my hearty, hand over my freight. I’ve got ihe docu ment, so give us possession !’ and displaying his five dollar piece, he laid hold of the purchases. The store-keeper examining and seeing that the money was good, hade him take them with him, and ihen sighing as he took another and last look at the piece he handed it to the poor widow, who with a joy ful smile, received it from him and hastened from ihe store. “ In a low and wry humble tene ment, near the water, was a family of poor children, whose appear ance exhibited the utmost destitution On a cot bed, lay a poor woman, ill and emaciated. The door opened, and a man in patched garments en tered with a wood saw and horse, and laid them down bv the door side and approached the bed. “Are you any better dear?” he asked in a rough voice, but in the kindest tones. “No —have you found work? If vou could get me a little nourishing food, I could regain my lost st rength.” The man gazed upon her pale face a moment, and again taking up his saw and horse went out. Fie had not gone far before a woman met him, and she wished him to fol low and saw some wood for her. His heart bounded with hope, and he went after her to her dwelling an abode little better than his own for poverty ; yet wearing an air of com fort. He sawed the wood, split,and piled it, and received six shillings, with which he hastened to a store for necessaries for his sick wife, and then hurried home to gladden her heart with the delicacies he had pro vided. Till now, he had no work for four days, and his family had been starving, and from this day his wife got b tter, and was at length restored to her family and to health from a state of weakness which another day’s continuation would probably have proved fatal. Those six shillings, which did so much good, were paid him by the poor woman from the five dollars she had received from I he store keep er, and which the sailor had paid him. The poor woman’s daugh ter was also revived ai.d ultimate ly restored to health, and was lately married to a young man who had been three years absent anti returned true to bis troth. But for the five dollars which had been so instru mental in her recovery, be miht have returned to be told that she, whose memory had been so long the polar star of his heart had per ished. feo much did 1 Vic fi v r c dollar piece do, which Peter Chancery, Esq., so reluctantly paid to Mr. Last’s ap prentice bov, though little credit is due to this.legal gentleman for the results that followed. It is thus Providence often makes bad men instruments of good toothers. Let this little story lead those who think a 44 small bill” can stand because it is a small bill,Remember how much good a five dollar bill has done in one single day, and that in paying one bill they may be paying a scries of twenty bills, and dispensing good to hundreds around them.
