l*V PAULDING.
\Mien lluratfti was a boy at school lie
w.is always vvislii hinisel, ayoung man,
‘■tot then,” ttiought lie, “i ,>h ill not be
obliged to be forever at my book, and
nve in constant tear o! the schoolmaster.”
1 wonder, lie oiten said to himself,
“I wonder what n> the use of telling the
same story so often. I wish to heaven I
was out of my time, ~nd then I should lie
iny own master.”
At lust his tune vyas out. He passed
examination, opened mi office, and wrote
esquire to his name. Here he would sit
whole mornings, with Ins feet against
the ten 'er of jambs, waiting for elitaits—
but no clients came.
“I wisii to heaven,” yvouliJ lie sigh to
hi insult, *‘i tiad something to do.”
in process of years lie distinguished
hiniseit as a speaker, and business now
ed in upon Inni, till he hud hardly tune
to sleep or eat lus meals.
‘’Zounds!” cried lie,“one might as yyell
be a galley slave. 1 wish i yvere a Mile
hoy at school, they art so uuppv; no nusi
ness to trouble them und no cures on
their minds.”
llut, as it was impossible to become a
school hoy again, Horatio turned Ins
houghts toward the future, and began
to yy ish tie was rich enough to retire from
business and be a gentleman.
V. urs passed on, and at length be be
came n< h; so rich that lie thought he
niignt leave olf practice, und enjoy him
self. Accordingly he did leave oil prac
tice, and lor a little yvhile, it was denght
iul to have nothing to do, and 3o yyjierc
lie pleased, lint doing nothing tires a
mail at 1 lot. :t is the hardest work im
aginable.
“I wish, ’ said Horatio one day, as he
yvas perplexing himself to death in know
what he should do, “1 yyish i had some
thing to employ me.”
All at once tie was seized with a desire
to be a gieal man. As yve advance in
years the love ol wealth often changes to
the desire ot power. He entered on tho
arena ot politics, and Ins eloquence soon
elevated him to distinction. lie rose to
the highest office in the State, and at
length saw nobody aliene him
‘Uull ’ thought lie, ‘1 l ave it at last’
I am the greatest uinoi g the great, and
lioyv 1 shall be able to enjoy myself. In
the first place 1 shall do just as k please.’
At that moment his secretary can e to
announce a person on business.
1 am not inclined to see any body just
lioyv; tell him to call again ’
‘But, sir, it is a man oi great conse
quence, and one of your best friends; ho
may be offended ’
‘Very well, let him come hi.’
1 lie man ot consequence entered, tnlk
ed three whole hours about the politics
of his district, and ended by Soliciting an
insignificant appointment, either for him
self or somebody else
. ‘Well,’ said Horatio, ‘thank heaven,
he s gone. I’ll go and take a rule into
the country before dinner.’
Just as he had ordered lus horse the se
cretary came in to an notice m.otlui per
son of consequence, who had very partic
ular business, and whom-it would he a
bad policy to ofleud After a feyy yyry fa
ces from Horatio, he was let in.
Tin y isitcr being a knowing character
sat a long time, became very fncMioiis,
joked, told excellent stones, and when
lie had tired Horatio to death, thought he
bad brought loin into a humor to do any
thing lie desired. Accordingly he beg
ged his interest in lx h -It of the people! t p
resented, in favor of it great public im
provement. Horatio had hei-r specially
instructed bv divers old statesmen, to
give good words and lie could imthngelse.
So he flattered him with good words, and
the knowing gentleman went bis way
hackling at his happy ku utk of bringing
great men into the humor of granting fa
vors.
‘I never met such a tiresome block
head,’ quoth Horatio. ‘l’ll make at a
point to oppose Ins application.’
It yvas too late to ride out before din
ner, and he sat down to lus meal without
appetite, thinking lie would have the af
ternoon to himself, at all events. 15 y
the time he had dined, there yvere six
people waiting to see him on particular
business. It would not do to o!i< n<J
them, and besides lie was the servai t of
the people. The particular "business of
each was to beg some particular favour.
Horatio felt in an excellent humor for de
nying them all.
‘WI tat a tedious business!’ said he.
‘But I shall have a comfortable evening at
all events.’
In the evening, visiters dropvted in one
after another, until he had quite a levee.
Every one tried to ma-e liitusel. particu
larly agreeable, for each had a favor to
ask; they talked so much that Horatio
thought lie bail a swarm of bees in bis
ears. After lie bad yawned three tunes
in the luce of each of lus visiters and
promised all they asked, they went
uwny.
‘I wish to heaven somebody would
call one of these times, to give me smoo
thing, instead of I egging fnvms, as they
all do; there would he u I file variety in
thut.’
To be continual.
