THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
who vastly reminded me of a, ferret, rose
from 1i5 o1i4ir Pal asked to look at the
date of the will.
"It was made 18 years ago, sir," ob:
served Mr. Smart. The witnesses
are both alive, however, and, as it bap-
. pens, resident at Barton at the present
time."
"There is no objection to their resid-
ing there 18 years longer," rema
the ferrety individual, with great
ness; -"but I have a will here, mad
the late Mr. Foracre, and dated
years later, bequeathing
his whole pro-
perty to my own ,son,John Adolphus
Ca.nnie. I, too, I am glad to say, have
had the opportunity of beiug of s me
service to the lamented deceased, Lnd
in consideration of it he executed his
deed, which you will find perfectly at-
tested—"
"As to your will, Mr. Cannie," inter-
rupted a second stranger, with a lofty
and legal air, "I am sorry to say, for
your sake, that it is mere waste paper.
Only two years ago I had the good for-
tune to make our deceased friend's ac-
quaintance, under circumstances that I
think I may say it is a comfort to me,
onntri occasion like the present, to look
back upon, and he was so good as to
mark his sense of my course of conduct
by leaving to my only daughter, Sarah'
Lawson, as will be seen in this docu-
ked
ol-
by
ine
rnent—',
"My good sirs," broke in another
grave and powerful voice, "unless you
have an instrument of a later date than
July 19 (which I think is hardly pro-
bable), you need not trouble yourselves
to contest the matter."
"And who the deuce are you, sir r
inquired Mr. Lawson.
"Sir, I am, as yon may read for
yeurself, Mr. Foracre'e residuary lega-
tee."
At this great and terrible word, a
ghastly silence fell upon tbe whole group
of expectants. At last Mr: Cannie ven-
tured to remark that the very handsome
carpet on which our feet were placed
had been his own gift to thedeceased,
made to hirn on the understanding that
his son was to be his heir, arid to keep
the remembrance of the boy -in the
testator's mind, and that he did. ho e,
under the circumstances, that the
residuary legatee would return the car-
pet. .
"I beg to observe," said Mr. Lawson,
'that there is a piano chosen by my
daughter, and purchased by myself un-
der precisely similar circumstances,
now in this house, and. I think, in come
mon justice, that it, at least, should be
. returned to me."
"It appears to me, gentlemen," ob-
served the residuary legatee; with a
grim smile, "that we are all lawyers,
and that any appeal to the feelings—
especially upou such ground as cora-
mon justice—is ridiculous and absurd.
What the law will do with the late Mr.
Foracre's property I shall be happy to
tell you, on the authority of Lis la t
will and testament."
And, thereupon, he read the wilil
It bequeathed most of his property in
rather touching terms to his dear friend
Alexander John Furnival, "in -token of
much kindness," and appointed the
same bis residuary legatee. It was
about £4,000 in all, £500 of which weut
to the housekeeper who had. filched his
butter.
Notwithstanding this proof of the ex-
cellent disposition of the deceased, there
were some very severe things said to
his discredit, and especially that he had
obtained the gifts and good offices of
many of those present on promises which
were in fact false pretences.
"My dear sirs," said the residuary
legatee blandly, "we all went in for the
prize, and unhappily only one could
win it. It is possible, if it had been
permitted our departed friend to live
another month or two, he might have
made a new disposition of his property;
but, as it is, I am the fortunate heir.
An excellent luncheon has, it seems,
been provided for you, and though there
is a question as to my liability for any
such. expense, I will cheerfully defray
it. Let us part good friends."
"And do yeu mean to say, sir," ex-
claimed Mr. Smart, in his thinnest and
sharpest -tones, "that this fellow never
mentioned to you the fact that he had
led me to inaagine for the last eighteen
years that my son was to inherit his
property"
"He never mentioned your name, sir,
to my knowledge'but there was a
memorandum folded up in the will,
which. I did not read, and which hes
reference to you. Your family burying
place. I believe, is in this parish ?"
"What the deuce has that to do with
you, eir ?" inquired Mr. Smart, with
irritation.
"Nothing whatever to do with me,
but something to do, it seems, with
Robert Foracre. 'It is my wish,' he
says, 'to be buried as far frOm Bartholo-
mew Smart as the limits of the church-
yard will permit, lest by any chance,

as he most assuredly will, he should.

A Bxace of Mistakes.
A capital story is told in parisian
circles, somewhat to the discomfiture
of a celebrated physician. of that city.
'He had attended the only child of rich
parents, and had, with the -aid of Provi-
dence, saved the infant's life. A day
or two after her darling was pronounced
out of danger, the grateful mother visit-
ed the Dean of scieece at his office.
"Doctor," said she, "there are certain
services which mere money canuot re-
munerate. Scarcely •knowing how to
discharge my debt to you, I have
thought you might be willing to accept
this pocket -book, which I have myself
embroidered, as a trifling token of my
eratitude."
"Madame," retorted. the disciple of
Esculapius, somewhat rudely, "the
practice of medicine is not a matter of
sentiment. Time is money, and we ex-
pect our time to be paid fez. in cash.
Pretty presents may serve to perpetu-
ate friendship, but they do not contri-
bute to the cost of housekeeping."
"Well, then, doctor," replied the lady, r

voice and glance, put to him this be-
wilderiug query:
"Papa, wheu I grow up to be a man,
will my nose be red like yours, and my
face all swelled?"
Ah! why should that swollen face
grow redder than 'twos wont to be?
Why should his arms so quickly draw
. that boy to his breast? And why
should tears flow and voice tremble as
as he replied iu words and tone that
made mother's heart glad:
"No, Freddie! please God, you won't
be like me when you get to be a man;
and neither will your father, nay boy,
for from this hour he will lead a sober
life."
Be like him! He had notthbught of
that before, and the -bare . poSsibility
staggered him. All the love in his
father's heart cried out against such a
fate. That boy! His pride! going
about with a bloated face and poisoned
breath! No, no! he was not prepared
for that! Never before had he Seen hie

flected the boy's—the boy grows to

One of .Alsop's Fables Modern-
ized to Suit the. Times.
"Are' you, in a- hurry?" an oyster
dealer inquired of a man for whom lie
was opening his third oyster. The man
had ordered a dozen, and was plainly
in haste, but seeing that a lady had en-
tered the saloon he said that he had
plenty of time, and began to munch
broken -crackers until the oysterman
was again ready to wait upon him.
"What can I do for you, ma'am ?"
the dealer inquired, turning to the
lady.
"Are your codfish fresh ?" the new
customer deina,nded, looking suspicious-
ly at some large one on the board.
"Only ten hours* out of the water,"
the dealer answered. - "Hardly dead
yet. Only six cents a pound."
"Weigh that one for me," the lady
said. The fish weighed five pounds;
that was too large; another- weighed
two; but that was too small. A third
weighed. three and - a hall'; that was
just right; but the lady had changed
her mind and preferred haddock. This,
also, was six cents, and a fish of suit-
able weight was Soon found, but four
cents a pound was all that the custom-
er was willing to give. Moreover, she
had now set her heart upon smelts, and
as there was none in the saloon, she
turned her attention to oysters.
"I want them for frying," she said.
"How much are they a hundred ?"
"A dollar and a quarter," was the
eply, "and cheaper at that than you
an get -them anywhere in the city."
"Then open. fifty for me, if you
please," the lady said.
"Will you a.11ow me to attend to this
gentleman first ?" the dealer asked,
pointing to the man -who had been
obliged to take a recess after eating
three oysters.
"Certainly not," the lady said seep-
pishly. "I'm in a hurry," and as the
man had by this time finished nearly
all the crackers, and in a great measure
lost his appetite -for oysters, he said, po-
litely, that he was willing to wait. ,
The fifty . oysters were opened, and
after closely examining them, the lady
said:
"Now, I don't mind giving you fifty
cents for those, if ydu will paste them
over with flour and egg, and fix them
up for frying just as they do' on the
market." .
The dealer breathed very hard as he
looked at his unprornisieg customer.
"Perhaps," he said, "you would like
me to go to your house and cook them
for you."
Without another word the lady gath-
ered. up her gloves, haudkercnief and
reticule, restored her purse to its place
in the latter receptacle, and, bestowing
upon the dealer a look of combined
scorn and indignation, swept out of the
saloon.
"Well, women is queer creatures,"
the dealer 'Muttered, as he looked at
the recedipg form. "Skinflints, all of
'em. I wduldn't , trust my own wife
where a bargain was to be had."' Aud
he turned around. to find the man who
had.eaten the three oysters. But that
person had forgotten to pay for the
oysters, emptied the bowl of broken
crackers, and gone out,
ner, "be so good as to nanae the sum at
which you value your professional ser-
vices." .
"Certainly, maclarne. My chargeein
your instance, is two thousand francs."
' Without further remark, the lady
opened the rejected pocket book, which
she still held in her hand, took two of
the five thousand :franc notes stowed
inside, placed them on the great man's
table, and quiet!y bid him goodmorn-
ing. The doct e has not yet entirely
recovered his d:sturbed equanimity.
The story soon in circulation,
and oC cours:'. WU not long before it
was turned account in a new shape
—this time far more ludicrously to the
disadvantage of an eminent advocate,
than to that of the first sufferer. A
lady had just succeeded in gaining an
important suit at law; and Was indebt-
enfor her victory to the eloquent plea
of her counsel. The medical anecdote
had just become a general topic of
conversation in the drawing rooms and
clubs of the capital, and when his fair
client, in token of her "gratitude," of-
fered him a cushion, embroidered. by
her rosy fingers, the gallant and cun-
ning attorney accepted the gift with
many protestations and compliments.
The lovely donor had no sooner depart-
ed* than the cushion was ripped open,
and found to be stuffed—uot with bank
bills—but with horse -hair of the best

and children in his ' usual condition.

His character was simple, and guile-

who knew him. best. Of the low games,
of intrigue and double-dealing he knew
