If you can't Pay me now"—and she looked auspiciously at them—"when will you pay me ?" "A.t the earliest opportunity," replied Henry Wyatt, sadly. "We will live upon a crust until your just claim is satisfied." • "It is right that you should," she said; "poor tradespeople Are too often robbed by gentlemen like you." She was glib with her tongue, and she did not spare them. She showed them no pity; but, indeed, it is hard, when we are overtaken by sorrow and misfortuue, to put ourselves in the place of others who are suffering like' wise. "Do ytiu mean to tell me," continued the widow, "that you are speaking tbe truth when you say you have nothing' let?" "It is the unhappy truth," replied Efenry Wyatt. enough, but could not be expected to impart to his loveless life any touell of tenderness. But now that Rachel was his eonstant companion, now that she sat opposite to him at his meals, now that hies evenings, When he spent them at home, were not of necessity lonely ones, sym- bols of love were not wanting.. Flow- ers, snusic, and the sweet contact of a sympathetic nature, were, bright ad- ornments of the hitherto cheerless rooms, and should have been suffi- ciently powerful to win over any mali whose heart was open to tender im- pressions ; but though at first Mr. Inglefield yielded to their enfluente, he grew careless of them before twelve months had passed. Perhaps it was that Rachel was of too timid and shrinking a nature to • at- tract him, and her quiet man- ners may have been against her, but to whatever cause it may be attribut- ed, it was a circumstance to be deep- ly deplored that he did not open his heart to her as a 'father should to his only child, He znade no effort, as she had done, to fit himself for this new condition of things. He made no serious endeavor to discover what was required from him to bring their na- tures into fitting harmony. And it iS a sad fact that, after a time he found the hours he spent with Rffehel full of awkwardness and constraint. The consequence was that they fell slowly and gradually a.part from each other. He in a ,grear measure, re- lapsed into his old ways of life, and. Raohel Was thrown upon her own re- sources for congenial occupation. Comes there now upon the scene one who was destined to play a prominent part in this drama of life, one who was unwittingly the creator of sacred Joys and deepest woes. He was a young mare in Mr. Inglefleld's employ- ment, and his name was Henry Wyatt. As there are men born in affluence who, at some period of their lives, are driven to live in garrets, so there are men born in garrets who live to build palaces for themselves, in the seesaw of life, up down, down up, this is oc- curring daily around us. Now in the clouds, now in the gutter; gentlemen to -day, without. a crust to -morrow; beggars in the first quarter. of the moon, money kings in the last; to -day water, to -morrow wine ; • to -day rags, to -mor- row broadcloth. Thus runs the world. Henry Wyatt was born to affluence, but he never came into his inheritance. He lived, however, with evidences of wealth and comfort around him long enough to become a fairly useless mem- ber of society—unless in so far as hav- ing no trade it his fingers' ends, and no special great gifts by which, in an hour of adversity, he could obtain his own livelihood and advance himself in the world. Up to a certain extent, yes, for he had conducted himself well at school and college, and, like hun- dreds of others, had passed through a course of education which unfitted rather than fitted him for the practical issues of life. • His father—an easy- going, sweet -tempered gentleman—had been born into wealth, as the son had been born, but, unfortunately, for him- self and for Henry, had " fallen among thieves." Theee thieves, between whom existed (as is usual with all classes of rogues) a certain unexpress- ed bond of brotherhood, -which woke into active life the moment they came together, may be generically described as land vultures, law vultures, and money vultures. It hap- pened, at a critical period in his career, that the elder Wyatt, having unwisely made an investment in free- hold, which, being bitten by a specula- tive mania, he purchased only to sell at a profit, needed a certain seine to cemplete the purchase money. His misfortunes and downfall dated from that day. Among their creditors was a trades- man named Randall, who, being at the tbne 'himself in difficulties, fell sick and died of werry of spirit, or, as his -wife insiated, of a. broken heart. She also was left penniless, and, naturally enough she appealed to the Wyatts for assistance. The harpies who had ruin- ed Mr. Wyatt had undertaken the set tlement of the claims of his creditors, and had paid them, in full satisfaction, only a moiety of what Was due to them. Mr. Wyatt had been indebted to Mr. Randall in the sum of two hundred and eighty boUnds, of which the credi- tor had recalved half, and had given full quittance of the whole before hie death. There thUS remained, accord- ing to the wIdoW'S view, which, it need hardly be stated, Was not the legal vieve, a sum of one hundred and forty naiads due to her from Mt: Wyatt, and she came to hire and his son in deep distress and demanded and im- plored them to pay her, They were too mueli overwhelmed, and, to their credit be it said, were too hotorable, to fall back upon the legal quibble,that they were not laWfully indebted to thiS poor woman. You, owed My husband the money," Seed Mrs, Randall, "and it isn't be "And your father so rich as he was!" said the widow, "and his father before him! What, not a stick left ?" "Rained, ruined, hopelessly ruined !" murmured old Mr. Wyatt, wringing his hands, "If you wil/ spare us your re- proaches," said Henry, "which perhaps it is natural you should use against us, you will be doing a charitable act. Heaven only knows by what means we have fallen into this abyss. I was ignorant of what was going on, and my dear father is utteraly unable to explain Matters to me. On my honor as a man, we are absolutely beggar- ed." "Then what security have I?" de- manded. the widow, "that you will keep your word and pay me?" "We can give you no security but our proihise," said Henry Wyatt. "You can give nth your note of hand," suggested the widow, with a trades - woman's instinct. "Yes, we can do that," said Henry Wyatt, "and we will." Thereupon he drew up a paper, which he and his father signed, acknowledg- ing, themselves to be indebted to the widow in the sum of one hundred pounds, to which interest was to be re- gularly added until the debt was can- celled. "This is all we can do," said Henry Wyatt. The widow took the paper, and held it tight, while she asked how they were going to live. "We shall have to live by the work of our hands," said Henry Wyatt, look- ing at his vineite fingers with a kind of helpless pity. "Will you stop here ?" said the widow. "No; we shall go to London." "And I shall never hear from you! That is the way _of gentlemen I" "It •is not our way," said Henry Wyatt, "and you are doing us an In- justice I promise you faithfully that you Shall hear from us wherever we are. You shall have our address, so that you may sue us, or summon us, or take whatever steps you may think proper to enforce your claim; but do not forget that you can't get blood out of a stone, and that if you harass us with the law it will be impossible for us to pay you what is due to you Will you not rely upon our honor? Have we not already done sufficient to prove to you how deeply we regret your misfortune ?" He saidemore than this, and spoke so sincerely that the widow went away convinced that, when it lay in Henry Wyatt's power, the hundred pounds would be paid. .A. word as to the interest on the bond which Henry Wyatt gave her. He had put it down at twenty per cent. He Was quite ignorant of busi- ness affairs, halting been brought up so, and although he had learned from his father sufficient to show that the money sharks had been charging sixty, eighty and a hundred per cent. for the sums they were supposed to have advanced, he knew that such a rate was an, ex- tortion. And therefore, when he put down upon the widow's bond, "and interest at twenty per cent." he thought It a fair return. Something passed between him and the widow with re- spect to this twenty per cent. "If yoti can't pay the principal," she said, "yon will at least pay the in- terest. EroW much a week is twenty per cent, upon one hundred pounds?" "Roughly," replied Henry Wyatt, at ter a hasty calculation, "it is eight shil- lings per week." "You will pay •me that" said the widow, "until you can pay me the Prillclpal ?" "Yet," eaid Henry Wyatt, readily, "I will Send you eight shilling a Week regularly, or staree, until the hundred pounde are paid." "/ have nothing else to depend upon," said the widow, "and X must rest satit- fled with yerur promise. As for your Starvirig, much good that will do me. It is a solenln prOtnise, mind, arid if you don't keep it, 1 hexed misfortune may ding to yoU all the dare of yoUr life."

Here, then, out of the Slough of De- spond grew a garden which angels would have been proud to tend ; here, then, out of the depths, arose a heaven brightened with brigtht hopes, sweeten- ed with sweet resolves, ennobled with enough to last me a year or two. Coats and trousers will cost us nothing; and so, father, I take off my hat to Mr. Irglefield, and say: 'I am deeply grate- ful to you, sir, for giving me an open- ing.'

There are bright days in store for us, and if we have to live on a little for a time, there is. no reason in the world why we should not be as happy as a pair of birds in spring." "I won't be melancholy, my boy:I Will be hopeful and grateful, as you wish me to be. God bless you, Harry!" But when his sonwas gone the old man's head sunk upon the table, and he wept long and. bitterly. Henry Wyatt entered upon his duties, and to all outward appearance gave noble aspirations. satisfaction to his employer. Mr. In- Henry Wyatt did not recognize the glefield was not a demonstrative man, value of it at first, for it was not a especially to those who served him. He was too shrewd a man of business to enhance, by words Of praise, the value of their services. That he did not tnd fault was, in his estimation, a sufficient token of approval. Thus things went on for twelve months or so, and Henry Wyatt was in precisely the same position as at first. Ile per- formed. his duties faithfully and zeal- ously; Via there was no question of a raise of salary, and having by this time gained an insight into Mr. Ingle - field's character, he was afraid to ask for it. ,But he did not lose heart. "Things will brighten presently," he thought. He found it no easy job to pay the rent of their room, and the eight shillings a week to Mrs. Randall, and to live upon what remained. But he managed somehow, and in this hard struggle developed qualities of thrift Which would have been a credit even to one who had been born and reared In poverty. And, poor ae he was himself, it did not prevent him from sypathlzing with the toilers and moilers among whom he lived, He learned what in other eircumstances would most assuredly have been hidden from him, that in the lives of the poor were to be found instances of heroism as noble and as beautiful as the annals of the great can supply, that in neVotion and self- sacrifice they were not only not to be excelled, but not to be equalled in the ranks of the rich and fashionable: that flowers of goodness bloom day and night in attic and garret; and that, in all that was SWeetest and mOst beauti- ful 111 humanity, the brightest in- StanaeS were furnished by those who Were lowest in the soCial scale, And it wail a gratification to him to discover tlaat, poor as he was, he could be a help te others, He went one evening, in company With his father—when he Was not en- gaged In Mr, ingleileld's office the two Were 861c1ort1 apart—to the reem of a Woman who obtained a living by char- ring and washing.

It was you who gave me the education. It was you who raised me to what I am." "Raised you !" echoed the old man. "Yes, father. Raised me.

"It is out of your goodness that you say this," murmured the old man. "It is out of nothing of the sort," retorted Henry.

But yet again no Englith newspapers tell us anything more of him than the details of his titles and racing oareer. In fact, the story of his wretched and useless life should be used to point a moral of the utmost importance. Ile seems to have had no comprehension of his duties or reeponsibilities. His reckless life once brought him to the verge of banzruptcy, which was averted only by the shrewdness of his business agent, and Ms tenantry were probably therefore the se- verest sufferers. He had for years almost abandoned English society, shunned Lon- don and was only seen occasionally at the Newmarket races or on his yacht at Cowes. He was a big, fat man, with the -German strain of his mother strongly in evidence both in his manner and dress. Among the many wild exploits of his youth, 1 am told he was concerned in a night broil in the London Haymarket, which resulted in the death ole policeinan. Sometime since he developed symptom of heart disease and placed himself under a noted specialist for the treatment of this corpulenoy, as he had been advised that the only -chance of prolonging his lite was to reduce hie weight. The specialist ordered him to stop all drink beyond a half pint of wine, ahereas the duke had been accustomed to take seven or eight bottles of the finest claret daily. He could not stand the specalist's regime and reverted after a few weeke of abstinenee to his former habits and had a renewed and acute attack of gout, which went to his heart and killed him. LIVED oN RIS Y&ONT. He lived of late years almost wholly on board his steam yacht, the Thistle. Hie chief claim_ for history, indeed, is that Marie Bashkirtseff fell in love witb him at Nice and frequently mentions her passion in her famous diary. He was married to the daughter of the present Duchess of Devonshire, but it is common knowledge that the union was an unhappy one. When the Duke of Manchester, his father-in-lavr, died the duchess arrived just as he had breathed his last, and her daughter, the Duchess of Hamilton, has now had the same unhappy experience, as she had only time to join her husband before his death. The Duke of Hamilton was a noted gour- mand,and the story goes in London society that he and Mr. Wilson, the husband of the sister of the Duke of Fife, who was divorced from her husband, Adrian Hope, were wont to sit down together to a roaet sucking pig and a large suet pudding, both of which they invariably finished. The Duke of Hamilton was a miserable man and he was given to lamenting that though he had six palaces he had no home. His sister was married in 1869 to the Prince of Monaco, but in 1880 the pope annulled the marriage on the ground that it was prOour- ed by duress hy the agency of the Empress Eugenie. The Duke of Hamilton had squandered as much of his fortune as he cold control, and some veare ago dispersed the 3aami1ton Palace collection, one of the most mag- nificent private collections inthe world, to meet his extravagant exp5riditures. The famous Beckford Library, indeed, went to Germany. Such is the career of this man of vast responsibilities. Basis of a Compromise.
