MISCELLANEOUS. 



Tknder IIeauted Landlord. — " James," .said 

 a wortliy merchant on Main Street, to his clerk, tlie 

 other morninu-, " go down to Water Street, to Mr 



's, and tell him his rent must be paid today, 



I can't wait any longer, as he 's already two quar- 

 ters in arrears." 



The clerk obeyed the dircrtion, and soon came 

 back with great appearances of milkiness about 

 the eyes. 



"Mrs M-ants to see yoii, sir, about that 



rent, very much, sir." 



The merchant happily was at leisure, and went 

 at once to visit the tenant. He found him extend- 

 ed on a coarse bed, in an insensible staije of a 

 dangerous malady. Ilis wife was busy over a 

 scanty fire, apparently preparing some simple ali- 

 ment for Ijer husband. — Three little cJiildren sat 

 shivering in the corner. His approach was unno- 

 ticed. 



" Ma," said one of the little urchins, " when be 

 you going to get breakfast?" 



" Breakfast, my dear child, that is more than I 

 can tell." 



The merchant advanced. 



" My good woman — my good woman — ahem — 



that is" and the woithy man felt very much 



like choking. He gra.sped his pocket bonk convul- 

 sively, and laid 8o;iie bills upon the table — he 

 opened the door, and disappeared. 



"James," said he again to his clerk, "take this 



order to Mr , and ttli hi.n to have the 



provisions delivered immediately." 



The merchant felt much better than he would 

 have done, if he had got his rent. There is some- 

 thing in a good action that makes one's heart feel 

 lighter — warmer — better. We would publish the 

 good man's name, but we know he wouV dislike 

 it, and we would not for all the world offftou him.

The Contrast. — B. was an active merchant, 

 distinguished alike for his accurate knowledge of 

 his profession and liis strict integrity. The best 

 appointed ships, however, are sometimes w,-ecked, 

 and plans laid ever so wisely, in seasons of .panic 

 and disaster often miscarry. B. failed, grew sick 

 from t^io close attention to the studies of the count- 

 ing room and died. His wife was left destitute ; 

 and of course frfendless, and she had four yourro- 

 chiTdren to support. How could she do it.' B. 

 had been familiar with a distinguislied merchant 

 down town, Mr A. T., who sometimes pre.sided at 

 meetings in the Tabernacle ; and to him the young 

 widow, wlio was an exemplary m-eniber of the same 

 church as himself, applied for a credit of about 

 .$500 worth of goods for six months. She had 

 caused the lower |iart of the house to bo fitted for 

 their reception, and determined to turn her knowl- 

 edge of trade to account in supplying her acquain- 

 tance with a particular kind of merchandise. The 

 merchant gave no answer at tlietime; he would 

 consider it; and put her off a dozen times, and then 

 told her he would not grant the request. 



There was an actor at Delmonico's a few morn- 

 ings after, and he overlseard a relation of the above 

 circumstances, in a conversation between two n-en- 

 tlemen with whom he was acquainted. 



" How is she now ?" said the actor. 



" In despair." 



" Cannot obtain the money ?" 



" Nor the credit." 



" Well, relying on the correctness cf your repre- 

 sentation, I offer a proposition. If you will each 

 lend her $fi^O. I will lend, her twice that sum." 



They had no money which was not invested. 



" \'i ell, then, here is a check for .$1000 — go and 

 get the money, carry it to her, and take the note 

 for it payable to yourself or bearer in one year. 

 Bring the note to me, and mind that you say noth- 

 ing of the source from whence the funds came." 



His directions were obeyed. \\'hen the note 

 fell due it was paid, with interest; and the widow 



is now doing a ftiir b'l.^iiness on her own account 



Tlie actor was Edwin I'drrest. — .V. Y. Eve. Post.
