THE LEGACY.

Lady Bridget, a sentimental beauty, well read
in romantic literature, and only twenty, thought
the adventure charming, and, when she had seen
Roderick, more than charming: but she did not
say 50 aloud. Mr.. Private Secretary-to be sure
he was only copyist in the chancery office
proceeded to the country-house of his benefactor
instead of his aunt's little shop, and before
the eweek was over found himself so much at
home there, so trusted, and almost loved that
grief, aunt, leg ofmutton and legacy were entire
y forgotten. He rode we'll danced gracefully,
played with skill on the harp and piano, drew
what wonder is it2 The ladies, among whom
was also the wife of the Councillor Won Landern,
could not sufficiently praise the taste which her
husband had exhibited or his knowledge ofhuman
nature; and the Councillor himself was delighted
with his choice, for he soon perceived that Rod
erick would surpass his expectations. Weighty
matters were committed TO his charge in diff
cult cases his advice often asked, aud finally
he was directed to draw up a Report on public
schools, from information laid before the Privy
councillor for his consideration. The Report was
completed IN short time, and so satisfactorily,
that Won Landern could not improve it. E'Your
fortune is made" cried he frankly to his Secreta
ry. Yon are made for better things than copy
ing. Remain one year under my instruction,
and then will recommend you to lhe Duke"
There was sorrowful time when Roderick
departed for few days to receive his legacy !;
but most fall, the susceptible Bridget lamented
his absence in silent solitude She wrote two
sonnets every day, in which there was no dearth
of 'fhearts and arts, tears and fears" Roderick
indeed, was not favored with sightof these "con-
fessions of noble lady ~ the fortunate one was
not suffered to dream how deeply he was beloved
nor, in turn did the young Countess dream with
what idolatry Roderick adored her in his secret
| heart. She sang and danced the long day
through, during his absence, just as if there vas
no--.Roderick in this excellent world
! He fonnd himself detained in the town longer
than he had expected. The will was opened !,
and behold, his aunt had left her shop with all
her matches, tlnder, flnts, and other stock in
trade to an aged female relative, while Roderick
received the sum Of twelve thousand Thalers.
which the frugal and almost miserable old lady
had placed at interest in at least thirty different
Investments.
| Roderck blessed the memory Of his good rea-
tive. who, by her own privatons, had secured an
Independence for him, and having, not without
difficulty, brought his scattered affairs into order,
he paid visit to Mr.. Bipestiel to see Gretchen,
for whom he still retained some feelings of attach
ment. But Gretchen, year after the great
earthquake, had married a tall, meager, linen
weaver. @'

THE ELECTUARY.

At the residence even the matter was consid-
cred settled Roderick was the betrothed of
Miss Won Landem. But Roderick himself was
not entirely at ease on that point; his thoughts
ran upon the pretty Wilhelmine. lie was IN
deed In constant correspondence with Lady
Bridget Gratitude, respect friendship were ties
that bound him to her and her family; and as she
wrote so prettily, and sometimes even wrought
couplet Of verses in her poetic prose- he could not
answer more tenderly and warmly than in his ac-
customed official style Sometimes, When not IN
the humor to write prosaic verse, or poetic prose,
he would, instead Of thinking of Bridget, let his
thoughts rest on Wilhelmine, in orderto ring his
feelings up to the proper tone. Then, good
Heaven! all was poetry his ideas gushed forth
miraculously in words, and she whom he ad
dressed became saint, before whom his spirit
melted and one dream of her was dearer TO him
than life of wealth and power, with the immor-
tality of undying name. Bridget was natural
ly delighted with this alteration, but at length
the play Of fancy with her ETHEREAL lover became
somewhat tiresome, for he had suffered two years

THE CONSEQUENCES.


The young Countess seemed only to desire a
proper opportunity to observe the angelic young
man closely for she likewise went into the room
although the daughter Of Privy Councillor cal
led after her dozen times
Roderick, at the sight of the strangers, re-
pressed his grief and was about to leave the room
then the young Countess bade him very politely
not to disturb himself-He looked at her and
forgot his purpose. The Councillor now entered
into a conversation with him, which commenced
with the weather and ended with full recital Of
Roderick's history-for he could not conceal his
swollen eyes, and there, too, lay the leg Of nut
ton still upon the plate, mute witness of his
sorrow.
