"Yes," replied the other, "and hadR't a
cent to her back neither when she
there. 8oeh people always do hold their
heads higher^ anybody else, if they happen
to get litte money. For mj part, I
wouldn't take no notiee of her if she should
eome near me. I'd let her know that tome
folks was as good as others and Miss
Tompkins gave her head a most signAoant
toes.
"Hadn't a cent!" repeated Miss Pitkins,
with surprise why, what was that gtory
about her rich legacy P"
"Oh, la! 1 know all about that," Miss
Tompkins replied, with a consequential air
"twas just nothing at all."
"Do tell about it," cricd several ladies,
who had gathered around the speaker* to
hear the news.
"Why, you see, I got Dolly Martin her
place there with the old house-keeper a
purpose so I could know something that's
eoing on. So when Mr. 'Thornton brought
nig wife home 1 nays to her, Dolly, keep
your eyes and ears open,' and she did.—
Well, the very first day, after Misa Thorn
ton had been round and seen all the fine
things he bought for her, I s'pose she felt
kind of shamed, so she brings a nice little
bundle and gives it to him, telling him
that's her legacy. Dolly says he looked
real pleased when he first opened it, and she
could see through the keyhole something
shining just like gold but pretty soon he
said something to Miss Thornton that made
her cry, and then he got up and put it on
the mantel shelf. Dollv didn't dare to stay
any longer, for fear tWy would come out
and catch her, but she went in afterwards
to see what it was."
"Well, what wast it?—what was it?"
cried the eager listeners, as Miss Tompkins
suddenly stopped.
"1 would call this meeting to order," said
the president, whose reproving glance had
silcnced the loquacious spinster "we have
several items oi business to be disposed of,
which may as well be done now. 1 should
like to hear the opinion of tho ladies as to
the appropriation of our present funds, and
also the object to which we will devote our
labors during the coming year. We have
in the treasury about seventy-five dollars,
which, rightly used, may do much to ad
vanoe the cause we profeas to lov«. The
meeting is open for discussion on *l»»a
point."
"1 hear," said Mrs. Robinson, the dea
con's wife, that we have many families in
town who, from sickness, hard times, and
other causes, are suffering in some cases at
least, for the necessaries of life. 1 think
that
each of you."
"It's my decided opinion," said Mrs.
Wormwood, "that in a thriving place like
this, where work is plenty there is no excuse
for poverty like what Mrs. Robinson speaks
of. For my part, 1 go against encouraging
idleness."
"I thought we were at work for the poor
heathen," suggested
Miss Pitkins
much effort
to attend these meetings if I hadn't sup
posed so."
"A box of clothing for the missionaries
I should like best," added Miss Tompkins
"There seems to be such a division of
opinion among you," said the chair, "that 1
will venture to make a suggestion. 1 see
our estimable pastor coming why not refet
the whole matter to him'/ Ilia judgment
must surely be better than ours, for his po
sition gives him a comprehensive view of
both home and foreign wants."
This happy expedient was well received,
and Rev. Mr. Flint, as he appeared, was at
once chosen their arbiter. Gray hairs and
wrinkled brow, so oft the type of wisdom,
did but#render more conspicuous and re
volting the hard, restless eye, sinister mouth
and the whole contour of selfishness which
bespoke tho inner nature of this professed
man of God. Dollars and cents were the
gauge of men's souls in his estimation—
money the only evidence of worth!—Alas!
that among the holy brotherhood of God's
ministering servants, even one such should
be found—one whose sheep's clothing could
not conceal the wolf beneath. All honor
would we render to that noble class of self
denving men who shrink not from the eall
of tneir Master, though earthly reward per
tain not to his service. But when some min
isterial Judas turns the house of God into
a temple of money changers sharp indeed
should be the scourge Mich should drive
him thence.

Naturally enough, the peoplo under Rev.
Mr. Flint's charge, with here and there a
noble exception, had partaken somewhat of
his nature. External religious forms were
most scrupuously observed, but the gentle,
peaceful fruits of

But while we are thus digressing, eager
faces are looking to their pastor for his de
cision. llis worthy coadjutor, the very de
voted president, is "sure his extensive
knowledge and sound judgement will render
it easy for him to point out at once the fit
test for their benevolence."
Rolling his tongue in the peculiar manner
ho was wont to do when pleased, he, "thank
ed the president for her compliment, and
would onlvsay that he considered the ladies
present fully competent to decide their own
case."
"Do you not think," asked Mrs. Robin
son, "that we should take care of the poor
among us before we send our chanties
abroad?"
"Not always," replied Mr. Flint "there
is much danger in helping our poor neigh*

Dob Henderson had two rooms—one on
Main and the otler on Eagle—a door open
ing between than. Visiters after refresh
ments would eater either streets, and a
stranger might suppose after passing by tbe
Main street entruice, and turning round the
corner of Eagle,and dropping in from that
direction, that nt had found another eating
house, and theieby hangs the story of the
gentleman who nortally hated gambling.
One dark wet night in November, when
aolitics run higi, as you may well suppose,
tor the returns were coming in from all over
the country, our Glee Club were, as usual
at their nightly resort. The dominoes and
chess were bein discussed, with now and
then a beautiful strain or two from "Still
falls tbe rain," »r "Then as each to his fa
vorite sultana," which an admiring crowd
drank in with bmgim ears, when we were
favored by a new visitor.
It needed no words to tell that this gen
tleman was front the country, direct indeed,
pretty well back too, was the plaoc he start
ed from. He was a toll, lank-jawed indi
vidual, with a wide-brimmed black hat, set
on the back of his head a countenance
which would be called open—m his mouth
was a terrible one starting each side of his
face only about three inches from his ears.
