TrPILEN GREY'S LEGACY.
A man who makes a will generally
knows pretty well the person to whom
he leaves a legacy, but it does not fol-
low that other people are to have the
same enlightenment as to the identity
of the legatee. I make the remark in
reference to a common story connected
with the will of honest Andrew Gebbie,
who officiated once as a ruling elder in
the Church of• Trinity College, Edin-
burgh, and was supposed to have done
so much good to the people by his pr
ers, exhortations and psalm -sing
that it was utterly unnecessary for
getting to heaven_ where he had sent
many others, that he should bequeat
single plack or bawbee to the poor w
he died. Yet whether it was that
good man Andrew determined to m
sure work of hid salvation, or that
had any less ambition's object in vi
certain it is he made a will by his o
hand, and without the help of airman
the law, in spite of the Scotch adage
Who saves a fee and -writes his will
Is friendly to the lawyers still;
For these take all the will contains,
And give the heir all that remains."
And by this said will holiest Andr
bequeathed the sum of -three hund
pounds sterling money to "*Mistr
Helen G-rey, residing in that street of
old town called Leith Wynd," with
any further identification or particul
ization whatsoever, nor did hp say
single word about the cause of maki
this somewhat generous bequest, or an
thing about the merits or services of t
legatee. A strange circumstance; s
ing that the individual being a" Ne
Grey" had long been a favorite of t
• poets, (and, therefore, rather indefinit
as she indeed figs in more than
very popular song, wherein she is .ev
called bonny Nelly Grey.
Then, to keep all the matters in har-4
mony, he appointed three clergymen—
the minister of his own church, the
minister of the Tolbooth, and. the min-
ister of the Tron—as his executors for
carrying his said will into execution,
probably thinking Nelly Grey's three
hundred, and her soul to boot, could not
be in better hands than those of such
godly men. So, after living three weeks,
longer in a very bad. world, the worthy
testator was gathered to his fathers,ancli
it might perhaps tiave been as well that
his said will had been gathered along
with hian—as indeed happenedfin -a re-)
cent case, where a sensible man, prob-I
ably in fear of the lawyers, got his will
placed in the sante coffin with him,— I
though no doubt he forgot that worms,
if not moths, do corrupt there also, an4!
sometimes thieves, in the shape of body
snatchers, do break through and steal.
Passing all which we proceed to say
that the executors entered upon their
duties. As regards the other legatees
they found no difficulty whatever, most
probably because legatees are a kind of
persons who are seldom out of the way
when they are wanted. They accord-
ingly made their appearance, and with- i
out a smile, which would have been
unbecoming, got payment of their leg-
acies. But as for this Helen Grey,
with so large a sum standing to her
credit, she made no token of any kind,
nor did any of the relations know .
aught concerning her, though they won-
dered exceedingly who she could be,
and how she came to be in so strange a
place as their kinsman's testament.
Not that the three executors, the min-
isters, shared very deeply in this won- -f
dering, because they knew that their
elder, honest Andrew, was a good and
gbdly man, and had had good and godly
' reasons, (probably in the poverty and
piety of Helens) for doing what he had
done.
If indeed'these gentlemen wondered
at all. it'was simply that any poor per-
son living In such a place as Leith
Wynd should be so regardless of money, '
as to fail to make her appearance , c
among the grave and happy legatees. t
The question, who can she be, passed , a
from the one to the other like a bad
shilling. Not one of them could .
Father Tron, and Father:Tolbooth, and
Father Trinity, were at fault • the noses w
of their ingenuity could not smell out I
the object of their wish. But then they a
had been trusting so far as yet to the
relatives, and had not made personal
inquiry in Leith Wynd, which, if they It
had. been men of business, they would
have done at once. it

with a smile. "But I have good news

frightened legatee. "It canna be, and

grandeur. It would put out the sma'

Andrew Gebbie, our worthy elder, in
the habit of !visiting you ?"
Indeed, and,he did aiuce or twice

plied she. "Yet he was sae kind.as to
bring me the last time this book o'
psalms and paraphrases, and there's
some writing iu't which I couldna
read."
" Let me see it," he said.
And the woman handed him the
book—
" To Mrs. Janet Grey," said. the mi
ister, as he read the inscription.
"A mistake, for my name is Helen

" The right woman'!" ejaculated she,
with a bold laugh; " and how couldI

she, with something like offended priLe ;
" I never cut another man's corns in
my life." •
" We are nearly getting into that
lightness of speech which 'betokens
n- • vanity," said another of the brethren.
1 "It is a serious matter ; and we must
," require of you, Mrs. Grey—seeing that
in the marriage cannot, even by your own,
statement, be taken into account, for
p- want of evidence—to prove' that you
were on such good terms ef friendship
with Mr. Gebbie as to make it probable
that he would leave you this large sum
of money."
" Friendship !" cried the won, an
again. " Ay, for ten years, and w ha
can tell when theiflee may stang ? It
was nae mair than he should havedune.
I am Helen Grey, and I insist upon my
rights."
" But," said Father Trinity, "There
is another Helen Grey in Leith Wynd,
with whom Mr. Gebbie was acquainted,
and to whom he made a present of a
psalm book."
" Ind did. he no gie me a psalm book
too !" quoth the woman. " I have it at
hame, and you are welcome to see my
name on't Written in the elder's ain
ha,nd. But did this second Helen Grey
cut the good elder's corns for ten lang
years, I wonder? Tell me that, gentle-
men, and 1 will tell you something mair
that will make your ears ring as •thoy
never did at a psalm."
" Still this irreverent nonsense about
corns ; woman, are you mad?" sasd
Tron. " Give us the names of respect -
b13 people who knew of this asserted
friendship between you and the deceas-
ed elder."
" The deil o' ane kent o't but our-
selves !" was the sharp -answer of ti e
woman. - " And if it comes to that, I
can prove naething : but I tell you
there's mair in the corns than ye wot."
" Oh! she wants to prove the lova' g ,
•.
she was on with Mr. Gebbie," punned. We find ourselves overstocked
Mr. Crawford with a laugh, and tie
grave brethren could not help joining in some lines, and have determin-
what Tron called a fine example of the
figure called paronomosia. ed upon Clearing them out.
't That's just it," said the woman. " I
will prove that I know the length of h s .,
big toe and may be mair,"
" And what more ?" asked Father
Troia. •
"That Mr. Gebbie had six toes on
his left foot !" answered she.
• " And what of that?" inquired the
agent, as he pricked up his ears at what
might turn out a more special means of
knowledge than they were dreaming of.
"A great deal," continued the wo-
man. " Sae muckle that I need nee
mair, for be it kenned to ye that Mr.
Gebbie was aye ashamed o' what he
thought to be a deformity, and conceal-
ed it from a' living mortals except me.
If ye'll prove that there's anither per-
son in ar Edinburgh, in Scotland, or in
the hail world, wha kens that Elder An-
drew had six toes on his left foot, I'll

no !" said he. " It's only an
earthly inheritance, Helen, to keep you
in ease and comfort iu your declining
years, till you succeed to that inheri-
tance which knoweth no decay, and
fadeth not away."
" But is it really possible, good sir ?"
she continued, a little reconciled to that
whereunto there is a pretty natural pre-
disposition in human •nature.. " But I
havena blessed Elder Andrew yet. May
the Lord receive Andrew Gebbie's soul
into endless glory."
" Amen !" said, the reverend doctor.
" I will speak of this again to you,
Helen."
And witji these words he left the still
confused woman who would- very likely
still feel a difficulty in comprehending
the length and breadth of the goodness
of a man who had seen her only a few
times' and given her a psalm book, and
called. her Janet instead of Helen—a
mistake be must have rectified before
he made his will.
Next day the reverend doctor of Trin-
ity had another meeting in the office of
the law -agent to the trust, Mr. George
Crawford, whereat he recounted how he
had found out the legatee ; how strange
t was that the poor woman was entirely
igu.orant of her good fortune • how
grateful she was ; and, above all, how
strange that the saintly elder had only
seen her a few times, and knew so little
of her that he had made the aforesaid.
mistake in her name. All which did
seem strange to the brethren, not any
of- whom would even have thought of
giving more than perhaps a pound to
such a person. But as the motives of
men are hidden from the eyes of their
ellows, and are indeed like the skins of
onions, placed one above another, s
they considered that all they had to do
was to walk .by the will.
We have no alternative," said Path-
, er Tron ; nor should we wish any, see-
ing that the money could not be better
applied ; for has not the son of Sirach
said, Give unto a godly man, and not
I unto a sinner.' "
"And," added Tolbooth," we are als
onamanded to give of Our substance t
he poor, and do well unto those tha
re lowly.' "
" Yes," said Father Trinity. " Mr.
Gebbie's object was clear enough ; it
was sufficient for him that the woman

presume we have nothing to do but to
uthorize Mr. Crawford to pay the
money."
" Which I will do, gentlemen," said
he writer, " if you authorize me ; but I
rankly confess to you that I amniot al-
ogether satisfied, because 1 knew Mr.
ndrew Gebbie intimately, and, godly
s he was, I can hardly think he was

ompound interest to be got back in

ommon a name, that I believe I could
get several in Edinburgh : and if we
were to pay to the wrong woman, you
might be bound to refund out of your
own stipends, which would not be a
very pleasant thing."
A speech which, touching the word
stipend, brought a very grave look into
the faces of the brethren.
"A most serious, yea, a momentous
consideration," said Tron, followed by
the two others.
Nor had the groan got time to die
away when the door opened, and there
stood before them a woman of some-
where about forty, a little shabby in her
apparel, though with a decayed flush of
gaudy color in it here and there ; some -
.what blowsy too—the tendency to the
tint of the peony being more evident
about the region of the nose, where
there was a spot or two very clearly pre-
disposed. to the sending forth, under fa-
vorable circumstances, of a pimple ;
rather bold -looking in addition, even in
the presence of holy men who wielded
the Calvanistic thunders of the day,and
followed them up with the refreshing
showers of grace and love.
" I understand," said she, " that Elder
Andrew Gebbie has left me a legacy o'
three hundred pounds, and I will thank
you for the siller."
On hearing which the three fathers
looked at each other in amazement, and,
it was clear they did not like the ap-
pearance of the'new claimant.
" Who are you ?" said Trinity.
" Helen Grey !" replied she. "I live
in Leith Wynd. Mi. Andrew Gebbie
and me were man and wife."
" Where are your marriage lin is ?"
asked Tron.
" I hae na.n.e," replied she. "It was
a marriage by giving and taking between
ourselves a gude marriage by the
law."
" And no witnesses?" said Tron.
" The diel o' ane but the Lord."
" Wh-e-w!" whistled Father Tron,
not audibly, only as it were within the
Mouth.
" It is very true," said Father Trinity
as he looked askance at the claimant,
and contrasted her in his mind with the
" Oh," said Father Trinity at length,
"1 think I have it now when I recollect
there was an honest woman of that
name who was a member of my con-
gregation some years ago, and, if I am
not mistaken, she was in honest An-
drew Gebbie's visiting district, and he
took an interest in her soul."
" The thing is patent," rejoined Fath-
er Tron. Our lamented elder has
done this good thing out of the holy
charity that cometh of piety."
" And a most beautiful example of the
_fruits of godliness," added Father Tol-
booth.
" Beautiful indeed!" said Trinity
" For we have here to keep in view
that Elder Andrew had many poor
friends, but he has chosen to prefer the
• relationship of the spirit to that of mere
earthly connection. And his reward
will verily be reaped in heaven."
" We must verily give the goodman
paragraph in the Mercury," resumed
Father Tolbooth. " And now, brother
of Trinity, it will be for you to find
Helen Grey out, and carry to her the
glad tidings."
A pleasant commission," rejoined.
Father Trinity, as he rose to depart.
And taking his way to Leith Wynd,
ho soon reached that celebrated street,
nor was it long till he passed " The
Happy Land," that dreaded den of
burglars, thieves and profligate women,
which the Scotch, according to their
peculiar humor had so named. ' That
large building he behoved to pass with
a sigh as the great forlorn hope of the
city, and coming to some of the brokers
whose shops were farther down, he pro-
cured some inforffiation which sent him
up a dark close, to the end of which,
having got, he ascended to a garret lin a
back tenement, and knocking at the
door, was answered' by an aged wo-

"Does Helen Grey live here ?"
" Ay, sir 1" replied she. , "If ye ca'

sad thing when auld age and poverty
come thegither."
" An old. saying, Helen,"- replied. the
father. " Yet there is a third one which
sanctifieth the other two, and bringeth
all into harmony, peace and love, and
that is religion. But do you not know
your old minister ?"

Deceptive Distances on the
Plains.
A story is told of two Englishmen
who started from Denver, Col., for a
walk to the mountains before breakfast,
an apparently easy task, as the moun-
tains did not appear more than a mile
or two away. After walking for an
hour without seeming to have made any
progress toward the desired goal, one of
them became discouraged and conclud-
ed to return for his breakfast ; after-
ward he took a carriage and went in
search of his friend, whom he found on
the bank of a small ditch, engaged in
removing his boots. His friend inquir-
ed what he intended to do ? He re-
plied, to wade the ditch. His friend
said there -was no necessity for that, as
it was less than three feet across, and
he could easily jump it.
" You can't tell anything about it in
this country," responded the other : it
may be three hundred feet across for
aught I know"
His morning walk proved to extend
about fifteen miles before he reached
the foot -hills.
