Inconsistencies Of MiserS.

Even amongst misers, however, there
are exceptions to the rule Of uniform penu-
riousness. ELVES, who added to his own
fortune another inherited from his uncle,
both amountieg to half million sterling,
would dine off hard boiled egg, or a piece
of pancake which he had kept for two
months in his pocket. But he would loose
thousands at play to men Of fashion, pay
his debts and never ask for his winnings,
which he thought was ungenlemanly. He
would not lay out penny on the education
of his two sons. He thought that "put-
ting things into their heads was taking
money out of their pockets" But when
Lord Abingdon had made match for sew
en- thousand pounds, ELVES, who knew he
had not the money, offered to lend it to him.
He would walk from one end Of London to
another in the rain 10 avoid paying shil-
ling for a coach /; would eat his meat putrd
rather than order fresh joint and sit in
wet clothes rather than light fire to dry
them, wore a cast off wig which he had
picked out of ditch 4; and having torn his
only coat, took one from the family chest
which had belonged to an ancestor, with
slash sleeves made of green velvet. But
present of wine, he lent seven hundred
pounds; trifing present, or work done
for him for nothing, was tolerably sure to
be followed by loan of money. He would
let poor man starve before he would aid
him; yet in bonds to peers and others, and
on some American property, he is said 10
have lost one hundred and fifty thousand
pounds. There were occasional touches of
humor in him. At a shooting party, bad
shot fired carelessly. wounded him in the
cheek. II give you joy" be said, of
your Improvement; | knew you would by
and-by hit something" At another time,
having cut both his legs deeply lie was with
difficulty persuaded to employ surgeon.
But he would only incur this expense in
favor of one leg. lie would manage the
other himself and offered to bet that it
would get well first and it did.
Thomas Guy was another exception.
His wealth was enor nous and at one time
he had promised TO marry his maid the
only servant he kept. He had ordered the
pavement before his door to be mended up
to a particular spot. The girl observing a
broken stone beyond this point, told the
| workmen to mend it also. "Tell Mr.. Guy"
she said, Il bade You do it, and he will not
be angry" The marriage was TO have
taken place in two days afterwards, and the
girl reasonably presumed she might exer-
else this little piece of authority. But she
soon discovered her istake. Guy was so
angry al the additional expense in which
she had involved him that he broke off the
match. Yet he built three wards on the
| north side of St. Thomas's Hospital; en-
dowed them with hundred pounds year
tor eleven years and afterwards built and
endowed the hospital which bears his name
at cost of f2l9,000.-Revieao ef kenaoi,
