sir, while he has strength to labor for us but
ne Is himself IN poverty day laborer on the
estate Of Earl Il
AT the mention Df this nobleman's name the
young gentleman coored a little but it was ev.
"ehI that his emotion was not Of an unpleasant
nature.
What is your fathers name p said he.
James Anderson, sir.
And his residence p
Bnkbanny.'
/ Well, l trust that desolale so far as this
world Is concerned, you know something of Him
who is the Father Of the fatherless, and the
Iadgo OF thc widoys. Il SO, yvur Makes +
your husband, end the Lord Of Hosts is his
name
Oh, yes / bless God, that through pious
parents cares, know something of Divine
grace, and the consultations of the Gospel. NV
husband, too, though tradesman, was man
who feared God above many
The remembrance of that must tend much to
alleviate your sorrow
1t does, indeed, sir, at times, but at other
times | am ready to sink. My fathers poverty
and advancing age, my baby helplessness, and
my own delicate health, are frequently too much
for my feeble health.
Trust in God, and he will provide for you
be assured he will
BY this time the coach was again in motion,
and though the conversation continued for some
time, the noise of the wheels prevented me from
hearing it distinctly. | could see the dandes,
however, exchanging looks with one another,
and at one time, the more forward Of the two,
whispered something to his companion, in which
the words Methodist parson,' was alone audi
Bile.
AT Airdrie nothing particular occurred when
we got about half way between that town and
Glasgow, where we arrived at a cross-road the
widow expressed wish TO be set down. The
young gentleman, therefore, desired the driver
to stop, and springing himself from the coach,
took the infant in his arms, and then along with
the guard assisted her to descend.
May God reward you, said she, as he re-
turned the baby to her, for your kindness to
the widow and fatherless this day.
And may He bless you,' replied he, with
all spiritual consolation in Christ Jesus
So saying he slipped something into her
hand the widow opened it instinctively. She
saw two sovereigns glitter in her palm; she
dropped tear upon the money, and turned a.
round to thank her benefactor, but he had alrea-
Idy resumed his seat upon the coach. She cast
upon him an eloquent grateful look--pressed
her infant convulsively TO her breast, and walked
hurredly away.
! No other passenger wishing to alight at the
same place, we were soon again in rapid motion
towards the great emporium of the west Of Scot
land. Not word was spoken. The young
gentleman sat with his arms crossed upon his
breast; and, if might judge by the expression
of his countenance, was evidently revolving
some scheme of benevoence in his mind. The
dandies regarded him with amazement. They
had also seen the gold in the widows hand and
seemed TO think that there was more under that
shabby surtout than their happy brains could
easily conjecture. That in this they were right,
was speedy made manifest.
/ When we had entered Glasgow and were APP
preaching the Bucks Head, the inn at which our
Conveyance was to stop, an open travelling car
riage, drawn by four beautiful horses, drove up
in the opposite direction. The elegance of this
equpage made the dandies spring to their feet.
What beautiful grays!' cried one; wonder
who they can belong top
He is a happy fellow, any how replied the
other 4 would give half of Yorkshire to cal
them mine
The stage coach am the travelling carriage
stopped at the Bucks Head at the same moment
and a footman in laced livery, springing behinC
the latter, looked first inside and then at the tor
of the former, when he lifted his hat with
smile of respectful recognition.
Are you all we'll at the castle, Robert?'
sAll well, my lord,' replied the footman.
At the sound Of that monosyllable, the face
of the exquisites became visibly elongated, bu
without taking the slightest notice of them o
their confusion, the nobleman politely wishes
me good morning, and descending from tn
coacig caused TIE footman to place his cloak an
despised portmanteau in the carriage. He the
stepped into it himself and the fOotman gettin
up behind, the coachman touched the leader yer,
slightly with his whip, and the equipage an
their noble owner were soon out Of sight.
Pray what nobleman is that?' said one Of tn
dandes to the landlord, as we entered the inr
The Earl of Il, sir replied the lan(
lord; one of the best men, as well as the riches
in Scotland
, The Earl of H. repeated the dand.
turning to his companion; what asses we hav
! been! There's an end of all chance of beiu
allowed to shoot on his estate.
20, yes! we may burn over letters OF intr'
duction when we please rejoined his compa'
ion; and silently and crest-fallen, both wake
up stairs to their apartment.
