'1'o this Mrs.'l'hompsee made a response
as composed u she could ; she would have
retorted violently and bitterly, but her hus-
band had a connection with the TLompsoa
establishment and fur strong restons she
considered it prudent to refrain from quar-
relling with Mrs. 'Fhempmnn, •She there-
fore spoke but very little, and Mils. Thomp-
son was Icft at full liberty to give a length-
ened detail of Mr. Tbaruron of all the nor
things she had purchased in the last m,,ith
down to the latest base of pins. Next, her
babies occuuteicd bet for half an hour—the
quantity of chicken they consumed, and the
aumber of frock, they consumed per diem
were minutely ch: onicled. Then her house
came under her coca- J. rat.oa: she depicted
the bright ;Tory of the uew p iacC.ru ferui-
lure, as contrasted with shocking old faded
thing,'.—and she glanced significantly to-
wards \In. Lawso•i s sofas and chairs.—
Neat she male a discurcire detour to the
department, and gave a statement of 1Le
number of stones of luny sugar, she was
getting boiled in preserves, and of the d rays
of the week in which they had pudding ,
and the 'bye they had pies at Dinner.
' But Mrs. Lassa:i, dear, bate you seeu
old \Ir. Lawson since he came hoine T' she
said, when rising to depart: . but I suppose
you haven't for they say he won't have any-
thing to do with bis relatioas note—he won't
come - near you I have heard. They say he
brought such a lot of money with him from
South America.'
At this intelligence every feature of
Mrs. Lawson's face brightened with pow-
erful interest. She inquired where \Ir.
Lawson stopped, and was informed that he
bad arrived at the best hotel in the'Cown
about three dee' preciously, and that every
one talked of the large fortune he had male
abroad, as he seemed to make no secret of
_ the fact.
A huraieg eagerness to obtain possession
of that runner entered Mee. Lawsou's soul,
and ehe th iu;at every seven' of tient drawn
out ie. the peiniul duration of a bug Lour,
whie Mn. 1 nam?son slowly moved her
ample skirt, of satin aceroso the drawing -
room. and took her departure. Mie. Law-
- sca dispatched a messenger im'u_di ttcly for
her husband.
i terry Larson came in, and listened with
surprise to the •iateUigence of hie father's
return. Ile was taking up his hat to pro-
ceed to the hotel in quest of 11.+11, when a
carriage drove to the door. !Mrs.
Lawson's heart palpitated with eager-
ness, if it should be her husband's father
in his own carriage, ,how de:ieht-
rul !—that horrible Mrs, Thhm; son had
not a carriage of her own yet, though she
was always talking ol it.. ' They, Mt.. Law-
son and her husband, hail just been about
setting ua carriage when business failed
with them. She ran briskly down the stairs
—for long years she hail not flown with
such alertness --rapid visions of gold, of
cplcodar, aod triumph seemed to bear her
along, as if ale bad not been a being of
earth.
She was not disappointed, for there, at
the open door, stood John Lawson.• lie
was enveleecd in a cloak oLfur, the costli-
ness of which rola Mn. Lawson that it was
the purchase of wealth; a sercaut in plain
livery supported hint, for he seemed a cotn-
plete invalid.

THE
OLD MAN'S BEQUEST.
A STORY OF GOLD.
Carebided..
Ten years rolled over odri:world,sinking
millions beueatb the black wares of adverse
foreurte and fate, and raising the small uun-
ber who, of the innumerable aspirants for
earthly good, usually succeed. Henry
Lawson was one of those whom time had
lowered in fortune. His business specula-
tions had, for a lengthened period been
rather unsuccessful, while Mrs. Lawson's
expensive habits increased every day. At
length affairs came to such a crisis, that re-
trenchment or failure was inevitable. -Hen-
ry had enough wisdom and spirit to insist
on the first alternative, and \ir,. Lawson
was compelled by the pressure of circum-
stances to yield in a certain degree; the„
country -house,, therefore, was let, Mn.
Lawson assigning as a reason, that she bad
