Mr. Smith's Will.
Mr. Aug tutus Maw was such a smart
young gentleman that bis friends expec
ted great •bings af him. There are
some persons who possess the knack ol
inspiring confidence without doing any
thing to warrant it. Augustus bad
failed to distinguish himself daring bis
scholastic career, yet those who knew
bim believed in him almost as much as
he believed in himself, lie was a brisk
bustling little youth, with a high falset
to voice and a consequential manner.
Ho had worn an eyo glass and high
shirt oollars from an early age, and at
17 be would have argued theology with
an arohbishop or discussed polities with
a prime minister. When tho tiunar.
rived for choosing a profession Augustus
unhesitatingly decided in faror of the
bar. He bad no predilection lor the
law, hut the career of a barrister had
the great attraction of leadicg to tho
woolsack. Augustus aimed high, but
bis ambitiou was not out of prop rtiou to
his opinion of bis abilities. He waa
allured by the prospect of beooming
lord chancellor and keeper of the (juoeuc
conscience.
Augustus bad inherited from hit pa
rents a small fortune, wbieh he would
be entitled to receive upon attaining 25.
There waa no difficulty, therefore, aboat
raising the premium wbieh waa nenneas
sary to enable him to have the iwa of
the chambers of aome successful coun
sel. Accordingly the aspiring youth
waa eonfided to the care of Mr. Retain
er, the eelabrated equity draughtsman
aod oonveyancer, whose pupils, though
depressing ia a social sense, always
learned to draw particularly neat plead
ings and to tun eat legal instruments
oaloulatsd to mystify the most intelli
gent laiws.
After a brief experience Augustus
began In have a dim idea that the foal
of bis amb'tion was rather more difficult
to reach tha* he had anticipated. Me
realised that plti&dlnf, h.rd work, per-
Bereranco and ceaseless study were es
sential ingredients to the atooeee of his
scheme. Now, Augustus was one of
those enterprising youths—there are
many of them aboat—who are la too
great a hurry to mike a fortune to be
able to gin time to hoooat drudgery.
Ho did got ezaotly abandon the hope of
reaching the woolsack, bat he resolved
not to fritter away bis abilities in striv
ing too muoh for it. He would keep it
is view as somethiag worth MNtesding
for, bat be felt that, meanwhile, it
would he as well aot to lose aay oppor
tunity for advanoement in other direc
tion*. * , » Vj
Augustus had been very much street
by the fset that, in the oovraa of busi
nesa, the privato affairs of a good many
people of wealth and distiaetioa were
revealed to him. He waa naturally an
ioqaiattive disposition, and be reveled
in the surreptitious knowledge he ao
quired in this mannsr. Mr. Retainer
had a large oonneetioo among solicitors
of (Id standing, with rieh and aria tec rat
ie clients, and, aooording to out torn, hu
pupils were permitted to try their
•prentice hands la preparing the rough
drafts of wills, marriage settlements and
deeds of rarioas kinds. It was quite
tantalising to Augustas to be behind
the scenes, as it were, and to observo
tho secret disposition of so many thou
sands of pounds, without profiting
thereby. Ha did not see hi* ways
however, to tare bis experiences to
aaoennt, bat the idea took possession of
bim that in this direction he might one
b day make a discovery «Ucfc h* eauld
ntilise to nia idnalaji
Mesnwhile.be grew ltterly rick sad
' tired oi tbe law long before the *||ebed
for opporiamt/ arrived. Vat at length
bis drooping spirit* were revival by
what seemed to he » geoaiue prppill
of acquiring b fortane. Oae d«y ther*
was handed Into tbe pwpils' roam a
paper of written faiatraetioaa far tbe
will of a Mr. John Smith, af Btfidrop
Crescent, Camden Ta#n, wtc was rep
reeented by a well k*awn firm aI saliei
tors. Mr. Smith appeared K h a
gentkman ef cpesiderable wefl tV, Ibv
he owned wbofe terraces af bouses in
London, broad acres' in tbe country,
and stock exchange investments galore.
An-justus' attention wae attracted bv
two circumstances, one of whioh was
that this Mr. John Smith was a neighbor
of his uncle's, with wbom be resided, f
and the other that the testator had an
only daughter, to wbom he had
bequeathed nearly the whole of his
wealth. From tbe fact that Mjr. Jobn
Smith resided in the uuassuming locality |
of Camden Town, it seemed probable
he was a person of qaiet tastes and
habits, to whom it would be easy to
obtain an iotroduction. This done,
thought Augustus, nothing would be '
simpler than to ingratiate himself with
the old gentleman, te win tbe affeetious '
of his daughter, and to gain both her '
hand snd ber fortune. I
To tell the truth, this was not the 1
first time that Augustus bad obcrished 1
designs of marrying heiresses whose
prospects he bad learned in a similiar '
manner. Unfortunately, in previous 1
easos tbe ladies had been of exalted 1
rank and station, wbieh rendered them
ucapproacbable. Disparity of station
bad not prevented him, however, from
making discreet advances. Like all
tncttlsd-faoed, snob nosed little men,
Augustus considered himself above ev
erything a lady killet. Whew be dis
covered that tbe Lady Angelina lriti
poworpuff was the residuary legatee un
der tbe will cf ber decrepit eld
Lord Towxlepete, he had taken immenae
pains to have ber ladyship pointed oat
to htm, and bad ogled ber in tbe park
for a whole season. Various instances
of this kind might be recorded of bis
enterprising natnrs, but it would be
depressing to chronicle a striss of dismal
failures. Augusta bad borne his ill
luck with equanimity, convinced that it
was lack of opportunity alone whioh
had prevented bim foam making oon
queats.
Ia the oase of Mis* Smith, however,
no obstacles of an insurmountable kind
sceused to exist. Augustus, with his
native canguinenem, therefore regarded
her fortune w practically within bis
grasp. That very evening, ia foot, on
his return to bis uaele's hoaae in Cam
dam Town, he oommenoed to make dis
creet inquiries about tha Smith family.
Not a word did be breathe of Mr.
Baiith's fortune, and be was the more
cautious becana* it aaamed that the
extent of it was not generally known.
But be ! arned sufficient to feel oonvino
ed that the old gentleman was a wealthy
miser. Ha was described as a taciturn
and rather eccentric person, who had
resided many years in Htlldi op Crescent
with his daughter and a maiden sister.
He wu supposed to be eomforubly off,
for he paid bis war aud lived at bis ease,
bat be waa certainly not suspeoted of
bsing a millionaire.
Augustus wisely dotermined to look
well before he leaped in this instance,
and be therefore set to work to ascer
tain whether Mr. Retainer knew any
thing about Mr. Smith aod his' affairs
Accordingly, bs laboriously prepared
tbe draft cf Mr. Bn.ith's will himself,
and ventured to take it into Mr. Retain
er's sanotum. Tbe learned oonvsyaneer,
struok, perhaps, by tbe aa woo ted seal
of bis least promising pupil, good-natur
edly put aside the papers be was engaged
upon, and iayitod Augustus to stand by
while he reiveed the importaat dooumsnt.
This method of instruction waa particu
larly galling to Augustas, for Mr. Re
tainer was aeoustomed to make mince
meat af his pupils' yoatbfnl efforts, and
was pruelly freak ia his criticisms. On
this eweasoa, however, Augustus bore
the ordeal with edifying meekness, being
entirely preoccupied with the moment
ous inquiries be desired to msks. When
Mr. Retainer, iftcr t good deal of eon
temptous "pishing" and "pshawing,"
accompanied by vicious soratebings of
hia biosden-nibbed pen, threw the doc
ument asido, Augustus said, rather
awkwardly :
"Do you think the will is sll right,
sir
• "All right! No; ot course not. It
1 *«V*sa la be aatirely redrawn. Yea

Retaiaer, quite savsgely.
"1 meaa, do yea think it is a hoax
eoatmued Augustus, feeling very small
Meed.
"To* know beet, sir'" exclaimed
Ml. Retaiaer, glariagAt bim.
"I was referring to the Instructions,"
Augustas hastened to explain, pointing
to the dseamenL
"There is uniting the matter with the

Retaiaer indignantly "Whal on esrtb
(are you driving at?"
"Well, I me-in, do you think that the

thsthc speaki"Cf ssid Augustna in
desperation. "I have heard of esses of
a man making s shsm will."
"Not through a firm like Tape &
Parchment," oried Mr. Retainer, quite
soaadslixed. "What can have put suoh

"Nothing, excent that the testator

Mr. Retainer looked rather amused.
He leaned back in his chair a moment
and regarded Augustus through bis
spectacles as though impressed by bis
sbrewdnees. Augustus did aot bear
the aetatiay very well, for reasons that
■ay be iasagined.
M Wbaa you are older, Mr. Maw, yon
will lean that it ia not always safe to

smile.

A LETTER OF THE LATE
SIR JOHN BOWRINO
Amongst our correspondence with
Sir John Bowring which began when ws
were ia oar yeutk u the following in
teresting letter wfeieh we print in ear- ,
tento interpolated with some explanato. .
ry notee enclosed witbia brackets. Sir ,
John Bowring was a distinguished sobol- ,
ar, author and Statesman. He bad the ,
repatatioa of having mastered more laa- j
guages than any oao since Mexxofanti. ,
He was the first editor of the Wetlmtn- ,
u/er Revtew, secretary to the com- ,
mission for investigating public ao- {
counts during East Greys administration, |
member of parliament from 1835-'37, j
and again from 1841-'49, and was ap
pointed, in 1864, governor, commander ]
in vice admiral of Hong Kong.
He was tbe political pupil, executor, i
editor, and biographer of Jeremy Ben- |
Ibam. His vast linguistic attainments i
and facility for poeuoal expression qual- i
ified bim for producing metrical trans- ]
lations between 1831 snd 1824 of tbe
popular poetry ef Russia, Holland, and
Spain. He followed tbeso up, in later
years, by translations from the poets of
Poland, Servia, Hungary, Portugal,
loeland, and Bohomia. His Matin,
and Vesprrt. a volume of original poetry
chiefly devotional, wae republished in
this country. Among his numerous
hymns, which became standard, his I
"Watchman tall us of tbe night" is per

ily quarrel in Northern Europe a part
of the world with whieh I am not unfa

which nosr exists might have been

In than* t»JL partieularly it is by SN
****** ■» ren
der service. One of the results of age
and experieaoe is dissatisfaction with
the works of youth and imperfeot
acqaircnieut. It often happens that
the passion for action is stronger than
the severity of thought. I knew Wash
ington Irving—few men would have
found lees to blot out. [The foregoing
sentence was suggested by the remark
mads by Washington Irving daring the
latter years of bis life to the effect that
he was eo uiuoh dissatisfied with his
productions that be would like to tike
them from the shelves one by one and
rewrite tbem.]
T'cknor's life of Prescott has a great
charin. It doss not glow with eloguenee
or novelty but it is truthful and touching
and worthy of its subjeet. You mention
Entomology as one of your studies.
When you come to London you most
see the grand collection of ooleoptera
(moro than eighty-thousand) whieh sty
son [John Charles Bowning] has present
ed to the British Museum, have I not
seen Allibone's Dictionary of Authors
and of English Literature. I oould
myself scarcely give • tolerable list of
the many—too many books I have
written—quite independently of Maga
tme article*—but I "jotted down" the
other day more than fifty volumes—l am
almost ashamed of the confession.
We do not understand much nor
much busy oarselvss with the Fenian
Brotherhood, If they wait until Na
poleon in co-operates with tbem for the
invasion of Ireland tbey will havo to
I exercise no small degree of patienoe.
[The foregoing remark about (he Fe
nians was written in reply to a rumor
that this writer bad heard in Philadel
phia and eommunieated to htm. It was
to the effeot that in the event of the
British Government beooming an ally
in the Sohleswig-Holstein war it was
thought to a likely issue that Napoleon
HI would enter Ireland, as a war meas
ure, and declare that land independent
of the rale of Great Britain. It doea
not seem that tbo prominent publie men
of England anticipated that the restless
spirit of opposition to British rale, man
ifested by this Fenian element u> 1864,
with its later widespread, more moder
ate though inordinate demands for
reform wbieh as yet have not bnen ap
peered, would eteedily grow till it baa
become the uppermost issue in English
politics.]
