When some persons have done that which their consciencm decide to be wrong, they not unfrcqucntly have recourse to a. fit of “The change will be for your benefit, Martha,” Mr. Bradshaw interposed, - “you will have the useof three orfour additional mgms, and large ones, instead of these lit- 1°eon holes, so I don’t see that you gfglgave any tease}: t6 comglain.’_’_ _ . “I am not complaining, Peter,” _she re- turned; “I am only fearful that you will find. it dificult to meet the expenses from our profits; bwdes which, we must, you Know, have this house on om- hands three ye§r§19ng°r-” _ _ _ - “I shail easily find a. tenant,” he ecu-e- lessly replied ; adding, “and I have taken Mather for Wentyms yew” _ :_ “I am going to try it at all events,” the husband rejoined a little tartly, for he was not pleased with her vague allusion to the imprudenceof which his conscience accused him of having been guilty. “ There is no- ' to be done now-a-days without a. great show; and I think I have stayedin this dull streetjong enongb. ” “This shop has 31:0:de us a comfort» able mghztenance for seven years, my dear,” thgl'ife quietly obgegvfi. “270, Peter ; you once said that'you had Iboked at it, and asked the rent, but it ap- pegggd mucI} too high for our means.” “\Vhy ,the new shop opposite the mar- ket-place.

The interest of the money i waste be appropriated to the young 1.1: :11’ s l board and education till she became of age 1 when it was to be put at her own dispos 11 f Miss Caroline Bradshaw had been brought. i up at a boarding-school in the suburbs of 1 London, and renmined there zuter hei edu- i cationnas deemed finished, till111thinafe11r 1 months of the expiration of her minority, ‘ at which time it was proposed by her uncle What she should take up her residence in his house As his fair ward had, in addition to a. pretty face, the attraction of hfteen hundred pounds, Mr Bradshaw had, dur- ing these few months, several overtures for her hand; but, to the dismay of the rival candidates, it was at length discovered that George Smithson, who0 was amon'vst the number, wasthe favouredindividual. This circumstance caused Mrs. Bradshaw consid- erable uneasiness. Unhappily for her own prospects, she had no reason to alter the ‘ opinionshehadfomedconcemingthe young 1 man. She saw that p01: erty and misery 1 must be the termination of the mreer he ' was pursuing, and she trembled lest her niece shonldo be involved' in the ruin he was mece should be Involved In the rum he was bringing upon himself, and she feared on them also. She made several appeals to her husband, begging him, as he loved the happiness of his brother's child, to w. n her of the precipice On which she stood; but he was (leaf to her pleadings. » “ Caroline is old enough to choose a husband for her- self, and I shan’t interfere in the matter,” he on one occasion angrily returned.. “I would not certainly have any hand in mak- ingu the match, bewuse people might say that wanted to keep her moneyin my own hands for the use of the firm; but she shall certainxy does she pleases. " The wife had next recourse to arguments with the young woman herself; but Miss Caroline thought her own judgment; in such matters superi- ortothat oflhergood aunt. Mrs. Bradshaw then tried to delay; a. union she could not prevent. ' She represented to her husband that if he withheld his consent for twelve months, he would By that time see how the young man conducted himself in the con- nection he‘ had already formed with the family, and thus have :5 banter opportunity of judginswhether than!” mflmpectv of ‘ ' vforhisnimlgi’oor . - aha. a prejudices ooncemfitg the superior plateâ€"glass, the p iflin" nor the partner, had the desired efi'ect of enticinu fresh peol pie to inspect the wares; and many of those who had been regidzir customers at the late shop in Church Street discontin ued de11.1i:1'r, thilih'ng that in order to make so much show, the articles must be really inferior Toadd to Mr. Bradshaw" s distress, the house he had before occupied did not let. 1101 did it seem likely to (lop so till the lease he 11 ex- pired, owing to its bein'r in want of a. tho- rough repair. » A : Another month found the family Settled w in their new abode ; and the usual methods i of advertisino informed “Mr. Bradshaw’s friends and the public that he had removed ‘ from N0. 7 Church Street, to 50 Min-lief. Street, where he hoped, by offering the best j articles at a. very moderate price, to merit ; their continued patronage and support ;” .f but notwithstanding this announcement; 5 the expected influx of customers did not ~ .5 follok,at’1eas€ in proportion to the addition- f 3.1 expenditxu'e of the shopkeeper, and his { spiri‘tg consequently fell. Mr. Peter Bradshaw’s once small and comparatively unpretending concern now assumed the more substantial appdlution of aflrm, though it had really less ground for so doing; and fresh placards and advertise- ments announced “that Messrs. Bradshaw and Smithson would now be able to offer the public goods of superior quality at a before unheard-of price. " But neithcrrthe 1‘ “Itisquite natural the fitfihcr shoxfld hop em: but not that you, my deu- Peter .should depend on such slender founda- g tions in a matter which may be so i very serious. My own observation, ” she added, “has led me to remark th: mt a diso- bedient, extravagant Youth, seldomnmkesa steady pezseverinv man: “Oh, you alwavs look on the dark side of the picture, Martha; you are alwa35 prognostimting evil. For my part I like to hope the best.” This speech was msaccom- panigd by one ortwo or those nervous move- ments which often attend unsound argu- ments; but Mrs. Bradshaw, who wasreai. ly much concerned .t the new step of impru- dence her husband was about to take, thouwht it riuht to be more than usually ten- aciom in maintaining hér ground. All how ever, was vain. “ Pshawa e-stxxll. "’ mut- tered Mr. Bradshaw. It was all he could say, for he had not even a lame leg to stand upon. “And why not, pray 1” her husbazzdsharp- I“ asked. “I have known the I -.ther these Itwenty years, and his character has always Istood hivh for intevrity." I “That maybe; but it does not follow I that the son will not bring vou into trouble.

Pray who may it be that you have made this arrangement with I” “With the son of my father’s old h'icml, Smithson. The old man is zuxxions to associate his son with some steady :m of business, and is willing to put a. thousand pounds into the concern, which will be an excellent thing to stuck my new shop, and will enable me to extend my con- nection.” “011,1 hav 9 taken care to be on the rinht side,” her husband answered. “I have made a.

' passion. as the only means of silencing the remonstmnces of those who hate the most muse to complain; and to this refuge Mr Bradshaw fletpl, knowing that he hado no ar- guments to trust to his wife being too gentleto resist, and too wise for strife, suf- feted it toh ave its vent w ithoué a word of retort. Thus it shortly subsided into a ; axczmomcage it, he was really much pleased f with the part she had taken in the whole [ mutter. Mrs. Bradshaw, too unoatenta- } tious to feel any desire *for commendation, : was satisfied with accomplishing what she ‘ felt to Le right,,though she would certainly § have been pleased with an expression of 5 approbation, and she immediately set about f the necessary preparations for removal.

The inhabi- tants had gone on for so many years in the same routine of events, that they looked _ upon anything which prognosticated ad- vancement as an absolute evil. This state of things, however, had its day, and also its termination ; for a. railway was. just at this period brought so near to the place, that it was deemed requisite to have 3. ate.- tion there; and such a. circumstance ‘ of ycoursegume'd the heads‘offhalf the inhabiâ€"j ‘tants, y excitin a desireA ' or speculation. i EA; inallothermgohztions, t'heretmldtvsWe'rel § various to some it wrought evil, to othersl V 9 __-J 7 19- . . good.

Hadthis advice come from any ' other quarter, it is probable that Mr. Brad- shaw would have seen and acknowledged its ‘ wisdom. Indeed. as it was, he had his mis- ; givings; but the fact of his wife having urg- ; ed it was a sufficient reason why he should pursue a. contrarycourse The result was, . that at the expiration of a few months the ' names of Bradshaw and Smithson appeared a in the Gazette amongst the list of‘ bank- f rupts : and a. very inconsiderahle dividend » h‘ul they to offer, for Smithson had given . hills upon the credit of the firm to a very large amount, having in the mean time : launched out into expenses which a. capital 1 of five thousand, instead of fifteen hundred 3 pounds \muhl scarcely justify. Nor was this all.

The fact may, that Smith- : son was not at all pleased with. the subordi- l nate position he held in the firm. q He went- ed to have the entire management; and above all, that the money shmmld pass thro’ his hands, which Mr. Bradshigw had hither- .to arise-i?prevcntédf “A iaroposzil to spend the honeymoon in town did not awaken sun prise or suspicion ; but this was the proper- atory step for thetplan being put into exe- cution. ‘ Three weeks after his niece's mur- riage. Mr. Bradshaw received a. letter from his young partner, stating: that he had the offer of a dashing shop on Regent Street on very advantageous terms; that they wished, therefore, to take up their residence in London, instead of returning to B ; and that, in the event of Mr. Bradshaw uppmving of the anungement, he and his helowd Caroline were quite willing that the profits of the concern should be shared equally with their dear uncle. All he desired was, he said, to have the superin- : tendence of the London business left entire- l 1y to himself. Mrs. Bradshaw, with her ! customary penetration, perceived that this was likely to involve them in still greater trouble; She foresaw that it would enable Smithson to me? . what use he pleased of his partner’s name: and now that he was remuj'ed from under their eve. it was lilcelv mndnn‘ formed bonnections witthevqml issulute young men, who, b-emg, hke hzgn- alf, in want of suflicient means to gratxfy :eir extravagant desires, occasionqllxhad NDSAY, ONTARIO: THURSDAY, OCTOBEii full play. He was angry at what he‘tisrm- ed his wife’s pertinacity ingroundless appre- hensions, and persisted in saying he wimld let the youngpeople follow theirown éotlrse. The result was that Miss Caroline Bradshaw became Mrs. Smithsqn on the very day’she attained her majofity.’ juggmlent of. his own sex "MEASURES, NOT MEN." came again into “ Ah, I had no such inducement,” Raw- lim interposed. “J selected a. partneriwith good sense and good principles; that was of far more value than a thousand pounds; and the secret of my success, my friend, is - “I books; young man into my business because he brought a thousand pounds, but he turned out a sad rogue.” Rawlins lau ghed heartily at his mm blun- der. “I beg sMrs. Bradihaw’ s pardon a. thousand times,” he said; “but, my good fellow, I was alluding to my wife when I spoke of my partner.

The absence of the lady gave the gentlemen an excellent opportuni- ty for unrestrained confidence. Rawlins would not have hesitated to tell his tale if Mrs. Bradshaw had been present, but poor Mr. Bmdshaw could never allude to the circumstmces of his late failure in the hearing of his wife. The shrewd reader may possibly give a broad guess for what reasombut it was unackowledged even to himself. Rawlins at the request of his host related his story first; but as it ww void of interest except to those who had a. personal regard for’him, we will not tire the reader with the recital.

I LA.BOR.â€"-â€"Much has been said and sung l about the “dignity of labour,” and yet it , is true that there is. a general disposition Zinrhmnzm nature to avoid it. There are 5 of course many exceptions familiar to us 4 all. Henry Ward Beecher well expresses :this sentiment as follows: “Men seem i ashamed of Labour, and often, you [shall find men who have made them- } selveai respected in labor, have built up a. business, and amassed a. fortune, who tum to their sons and say: ‘Yon ‘ shall never do as I did; you shall lead a. ‘ diffenent life ; you shall be spared all this." Oh ! these rich men’s sons! They aim to 1 lead zriife of elegant leisure ; and that is a. 1‘ life of emasculated idleness and laziness. l Like the polyp that floats uselessand nasty upon the sea, all jelly, all flabby, no mus, cle, no boneâ€"It shuts and opens, and' opens and shuts, and sucksin-and squirts out again, of no earthly account, influence or use; Such are these poor fools. Their parents toiled and grew strong, built up theirlframes of inon and of bone: but denyingall this to their sons, they tum:~ them upon the world, boneless, musclslesg' sim ggristle, and soft at that.” _ Amaze mind must govern the hands, so in ‘ ary 'etythe 1mm of intelligence. mutt. llirect the man of Inbounâ€"Johmu. l It. was nearly three years ere the txvo friends a.g:'.in met, and then it was by the same fireside. though the room theyoccu- pied contained many useful and ornamental :u‘ticles which it had not done at the form- 1 er meeting. Mrs. Bradshaw being present ‘ the greater part of the evening, Rawlins could not allude to the subject of their last conversation : but he thought, from the fact of her being present, that there was some improvement in the quarter Where he most desired it. At length he found an opportunity of whispering a word in Brad- shaw’s ear: but as it was a whisper, and only heard by the person to whom it was f spoken, we cannot be expected to make; the reader acquainted with it. The answer of the little dmper will, however, possibly elucidate the mystery. It was this : “I’ve I not forgotten it, my good“ fellow ; I’ve not forgotten your prophecy,» and I can’t help fulfilling it. Thank ye~thank ye 1” l I l l 9 1 C(0- Y.le . “up.w ‘ the ladies credit for affection, gentleness, kindness, and all that sort of thing, but we fancy that all the intelligence, good sense, ' and sagacity, are thrown into our scaleâ€" ] that is, our pates. I had an early opportu- ' nit}; of observing this. My fathcrand a twin ‘lbrother were partners in business, and oc- -Ecupied adjoining houses.

They were upright, well-meanmg men, and were in consequence, much esteemed; but they both held the lordly views of which ‘1 Spoke. My father, happily for his family, :uiade a wise choice in his partner fer life; but there his wisdom ended: he scorned to makc use of her good sense and judgment, ruupposing, like you, that women ought not to be consulted in any matters beyond the household economy. My uncle was less happy in his selection. He married a gidâ€" dy, thoughtless woman. Stillflmd he treat- ed her with confidence, and showed her that l) 6 considered she had an equal interest with . himself in his commercial success, he might possibly have corrected her thoughtlessness ; but as this was not the case, she was con- , stanfiy practising some petty deception, which whollydcstroyed their original peace. I learned :1. valuable lesson, however, from ! their experience. Thinks. Ito myself, when I marry, I’ll have a wife I cm trust, and ' then I will trust her. She shall see that I i expect her to take an interest in my well- 3 . being in everything. She shall be my con- l fltlant in every affair relating to my interâ€" l cats or my feelings; and she shall have no : temptation to deceive me, because she shall i ,‘ not have 'any cause to complain that ; I am ungcnerous. W ll, I put these rc- ’ solves into practice, and it has fully answer- i | ed my expectations. Depend upon, it my ; 1' riend,” he concluded, seeing that his friend I i was lost in a fit of musingâ€"“ depend upon ; ‘ it thereis nohnppiness in the nru'riage state E i without mutual Confidence, The more a i woman is t nsted, the more she will feel ! hut the interests of her husband are her I own ; and I believe that extravagant, mis- i managing wives are more frequently made ’ so by the want of this confidence than b ' ; an): other circumstance.” ' l The entrance of Mrs. Briulshaw, followâ€" { ed by a little hand-maid with a well-cmked ' savoury supper, put a stop to the convcr- ’ sation, also to poor Bradshaw’s reverie; A 1 and. in pcrfonuing the rites of hospitality ! 3 to his friend, he forgot, or at least pardoned, ! his telling him a truth which no one ever ; had the moral coumge to tell him before.
