No one nged starve in this country, which the Lord, praised be His name, has so bountifully blessed. I tiust Iam not wanting in chari+ ty --as a humble follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, 1 hope [ am not--but what with taxes for the government and the poor, donations to benevolent societies and heath- en missions, 1t is as much as 1 can do to live and give my family a respectable main- tenance. No, my friend, if you are poor and not able to work, (though {I don't see why you may not work as well as travel,) you had better throw yourself-on the parish where you belong." « But I am tired, wet and Lungry," said the old man, "and all the parishes in the world can't do me any good to-night." « But you shoukl have thougut of that before you started from home," now himed the good housewile, with a sancufied air. « Its sinful for any one to tempt Providence, as it is culled ; and whoever sins, must ex- pect punishment. I never go from home withgut proviling for my journey, and of course I don't pect anybody to feed and shelter me for nothing.

True, we hawlly expect he will come to- night ; but then he might, you knw, and wi wouldn't like to run any risks." « Well, then," said the old man, with a sigh, « I will take the food, if you please, and go on, even il T perish.' «Put your trust wn the Lord, my friend ! put your trust in the Lord!" said Stephen barrett, solemnly. « Yes," echoed his wife, ¢ put your trust in the Lord !--that is what we always do when in trouble.

One dark rainy night about three weeks after the reception of these letters by the cousins the family of Moses Barrett was thrown into a state of the wildest excitement by the appearance at the door of two mount selves as the avant couriers of fis excel- lency Joshua Barrett, of India, who would claim their hospitality for the night : saying which, the messengers pul spurs to ther horses and dashed away, without giving the astonished listeners time to ask a taizle qnesticn. Now Moses Barrett wasa hunks, his wile a shrew, and has three children ¢hips of the two blacks ; and all undertook to change their natures for the time--or, rather, to be oh to change them on the appearance of the neh uncle~for w bat wag the uee of uct- ing with the adrigin down ? Q «Now, Moses, you stingy old brute," said his wife, ¢ I you know on which side your bread's buttered, it'stobe hoped you'll have some chickens killed for his excel- lency's supper, which more'n you'd do fur Christmas; and some of that wine fetched up that you've had mn the cellar smee the year one ; and a fire made in the best room, that hasn't been there this ten years ; and all our nice clothes put on, that ain't much, for yo'd never allow us nothing decent." "Aad it's to be hoped, eld woman," re- torted the angry husband, "that you'll soften down that screeching voice of yours, and tw ist your wiincles into smiles--and that'll be 'something I've never seen done since the first week of our marriage !"? Creat activity was cisplayed by all the' parties concerned in gelling ready to give the rich uncle the belt reception possible ; and all rejoiced, as much as euch a hopeful family could rejoice, that they would be the first 10 receive a visit fiom him--hoping, of course, "that-threy might forestal the other relations of his good graces. Ti would have been a siranze time a a sthiange way for any one else 10 have made bis first visit ; but then they Lunew the uncle and looking up Ww ith a Trig ght twinkle of her eyes, ¢ I do believe you can get a good mght's lodging at Henry Bar- ret's, who lives only half a mile liom here, an the road sauth. iis sa great hand for taking in strangers.' She looked at smiled knowingly, for both were thinkir that, in case the rich uncle sh sould find the beggar there, 1t might increase Stephen Barréit's chances of being the fortunate heir. Sarah Jane now returned and handed the old man {wo tittle cold potatoes. He took them, tarned them slowly over, examined them on all sides, and mutiered : " They haye eyes--but can they see? 1 think not--Tfor if they could, they'd blush red, stead of keeping such a dark color. Lid Then glancing slow ly around the eat tidy, cheerful room, taking in three prim girls and their pious parents, he quietly tossed the potatoes into the lap of the astonished mistress, saying, as he did so: «I beg your was very eccentric, and his being so very wealthy made it all right it their eyes. He, might coms and stand on his head, provid-' ed he paid for hus antics.

Two gaily mounted messengers .atrived this evening, to say he would be here to- night, or to-morrow, probably the latter. But whenever he does come, he will find us as we are ; and if he don't like our looks, or the eoinpahy we keep, he can take himself off agai " Nuys my friend,' said the aged stranger rising 1 some trepidation, ¢ don't for the world, let my presence jeopardize your in- (rests with your rich kinsman!

No! let Joshua Barrettsettle his money as he chooses--I"ll arrange my con= cience to suit mysell!" «God bless you!" murmured the old man, in a trembling:voice ; and towing his head upon his hands, and wept in silence. He renfained at that hospitable house dur- ring the night, and was entertained like an honored guest. The next day being fair, he took his leave. "As he was about to de- part, Henety Barrett puta a crown into his hand, saying : FE « Take it my friend, Nl not a word! 1 don't know who you are, and ve not felt it my business to inquire ; but this I know-- from your appearance, manners end lang- uage--that you are nol a common beg- gar, and that you have seen better days, which 1 sincerely hope that you may see again.
