The train ftora Paris TO Lyons stopped
tthe station Of Joiguy, town upon tbO
route, aud again went on after leaving a
! few passengers. The depot for mo-
Imsnt crowded with railroad agents aud
lookers.on, was soon deserted by all but
two individuals, One Of those, an old
man, dressed IN the garb of a well-to-do
farmerj the other, youth OF some Eve
and twenty who seemed 10 be waiting for
some one to come to meet him. To this
parsonage the old man finally addressed
himself. ."May presume, sir. said he.

seemed no way Of avoiding Il, he took his

. .lH But a few days before, Clement b.,
who now put on so many airs, was a
simple clerk ia n croolery store in Paris
and possessed the reputation Of being an
4 unpretepding little fellow. What, then
brought about this sudden transforma-
ton? He had become, since the previous
/ day rich man, and itmay well be un
desstood that the possessor OF an Income
T: OF 10000 francs year, finds it difficult
J TO retain the modest demeahor Of pool
clerk. On the previous day whilst dust
6 ing the pile of crockery under his charge
0 a letter arrived for him with the startling
intelligence that one Of his upcles, O
whom he had heard as an eccentric anC
r wealthy old man, but whom he had neve
) seen, had Just died at his chateau il
n Burgundy, leaving his nephew, Clement
!, sole legatee Of his estates, TO the exclusion
: OF many other heirs. The lotter was from
Il a notary of the Province, who desired hin
to leave Paris Immediately for Joigny
4 the town near which his uncle had resi-
d ded, where he would be met by Marti
: an old confidential servant of the defunct
e and conducted from the railroad TO th
i Hermitage, the name whichthe deceased
e had given his chateau and estate, whiol
constituted the main portion Of tho lega
cy. The young man almost driven on
! of his senses by such an unexpected
/ stroke of forune, fastened TO obey th'
i notary's directions: and upon his ar
rival at Joigny old Martin met him a
