Each antagonist at once charged the oth- or with the murderous abuse o’rhct' '- Johunie. Both the husbands seem- ing to fail in a speedy comprehen- slot] 0’ the row. Mr. M’Farlnne, who has a real jeering tongue said, "I‘chae!

What they ca’d him it waer be decent for me to repeat. Ye may guess, that the circum~ stance 0 his no being fash’d wi ony Iiittlings ava, was a fact exhibited in a variety 0 lights. I’m sure Mr“. M’Farlane Wishes by this time that he had keepit a bridle on his ton- tthe stair, but they were :i’ to the gue, for he may live to be a very auld man an no hear the last 0 the cat an the kittlins. At onyrate, the gracious neighbors doors are shut, and I think we’ll get peace to gang up an doon the stair for some time to come without so many spyin fair-. lies on us. Such was Mrs. Mun« roe’s story, word for word as she gicd it to me, so I’ll leave it to you to say if the decent woman is no worth a place among the most em- inent of 001‘ wood painters of fa- mous battles. I’ll tell you a thoclit that has often struck me concerning Mrs. M. If auld Homer were to revisit this world, and tak. as ofold, to singing and spouting for his liveli- hood, Mrs. Munro would be a very fit and proper person to accompany him ; she could not only be useful in goin roon wi the hat, but when the auld man was takin his breath, after some glorious burst al-oot the doings 0 his ancient heroes. Mrs- Homer (as she wouldltheir be) could give the company a bit tench nboot .might have been a pair of cars less , to George. ‘ You are not a match in your family. so that even in thislfor your father, let me take your“ you might have enough to per- ‘ place while you get time to recover snade you that there is some good‘your brcath,’ was on the instant in education.’ by the side of Robert. and uniting and the silence his patron seem-l ed to him a proof that he too knew it to be the duty of a son to make any sacrifice for his father. ‘ \Vil- liam,’ said he at lengthâ€"and the the pupils of the elementary schools took six huirdrcd francs was awarded to William. The gratification afforded bv this triumph to his kind god-fu- ther, M. de la I’c-rrierc, was but little inferior to the delight felt by his parents in a success which seemed tojustify the brilliant hopes they had formed for him. 'Ihe firsi use that William mode of the money which his kind friend, who had opened to him the means of in- class In which he was born.

You must take this portmanteau at night-fall to my friend Constantt the Barristerâ€"you know where hc‘ livesâ€"no answer is required.’ And now \Villiam was to be seen with his portcr’s badge and his dray, plying his calling with the same persevering industry which had marked his student’s career; and which is, in every till the heavy load was at the top. of the bill. ‘Give me your hand]; said the father, ‘I should never. huv: believed it of you. Is it pos-1 ‘sible you are still in College ?’ l ‘ Yes, indeed !’ said \Villiom. smiling. ‘birt every Thursday isi my holiday. and then I am once more a porter.

For :1 few lievcd it wasâ€"but he held the Ici- tcr in his hand, and as he caught the kindly look of sympathy and encouragement from his future IIItIsth‘, be pressed the precious document to his lips, and gave himself up to the joyful conviction of its being indeed it reality. But asuddcn thought arose to chock his delighted :rcr-cptance of such a l)1‘0ptisal,â€"\Vlttti was to become of his sick father and his infirm mother? and that question sent him to his home in doubt and anxi- otrs deliberation how to reconcile his availing himself of such an opening, with the duty to his pa- rents of providing for their present him in the next tavern.

THE Levu'rnriw.â€"At a meeting of the great Eastern Steam Navigation Company on Saturday, it stated that £172,000 is required to complete the Leviathan, making the liabilities £911,- 000. Debentures and preference shares are to be issued. Total cost ofthe ship will be £801,000. The directors reâ€" gret their inability to complete the equip- ment before the autumn, when it is inten- ded to make several preliminary voyages to America to test the ship‘s capabilities, and in the spring to commence voyage: to India or Australia.
