TEN THOUSAND POUNDS,
BY ARTHUR q. cLEssoS.


One bright, June morning, Fred. Stanley
came to the insurance Office, where be was
engaged as clerk, promptly. as the clock was
striking nine, and found much to his sur
prise, foreign booking letter on his desk,
having small portarit Of her majesty,
Queen Victoria, in one corner, and the su
prescription being plainly enough his own
name and address.
"What in the name Of wonder can this
mean?' he muttered to himself, for his fel-
fow. clerks had not arrived, and proceeding
at once to inquire within, lie found cause
for astonishment.
The letter informed him that death had
removed from this earth distant relative,
and he was heir to ten thousand pounds
sterling, which, on proof Of identity, &c,
would be transmitted to him.
From poor clerk, to a small salary, TO o
man Of fortune, was a great change, and the
young gentleman 10 question, could hardly
realize that it was not dream but subse-
quert events proved to be substantial re
alty, and Mr. Fred Stanley resigned his
clerkship, aud assumed the character Of
gentleman seeking profitable investments,
From all quarters came congratulations.
Old friends, whose interest had not betrayed
itself, in any marked manner, for "a long
time, oil at once remembered how deeply
they felt for his welfare and new friends
came in great numbers with sunny smiles,
and smooth words Of hattering cousratu-
lation.
Fred Stanley, although not quite twenty
five, had been pretty well sehooIed in the
ways of the world, and possessed enough
sound sense to prevent bis being spoiled by
good fortune
Both parents died when he was a nero
child, their only one) and he had gained
by manly exertions, and steadfast integrity
responsible position 10 the Office where
we found him at the commencement of this
story.
There was one, VINO received the news oi
the sudden good fortune Of Fred Stanley
with chill OF sadness-almost sense oil
pain, aud that one was young girl, who
the night before, had walked by his side
and listened, as il under charmed in6u
ence, TO the music of his voice, aud after
wards dreamed of the beau ideal Of heI
thoughts, now having existence in reality.
Edith Wellman was the name of the
young lady referred to-; she was beautiful
as the most delicate flower, gentle as fawn
and the reason she felt thrill Of pain OF
learning of her lovers good fortune, wa'
the fear that it would separate him who helC
her neyerdying love- SO far from her.

Last Hours or Commodore
2H MsIury.

A correspondent Of the Albany Evening
Journal furnishes to that journal letter
from one who was with Commodore Maury
in his last hours, and who testifes in ten,
der and interesting manner TO the happy
death Of that great man. We quote
The last two days Of Matthew L. Maury I
life were grand--a complete triumph. In
perfect possession Of his faculties 10 the
last. | wish all the world could have seen
that death, il was such triumphant one.-
We aang hymns around his dying bed, and
after the last one, Friday evenlng--it was
4 Christ has Risen'-he put out both
hands and said slowly and distinctly, The
peace Of God, which passeth all understand.
ing, be with You all-all.' He blessed every
one separately, and prayed ever as feryently,
and in the most beautiful language lie
said he would be in moribund condition
for several days, Twice Friday we were all
summoned. lie would look around, and il
all We're not IN the range Of bis sight he
would call out the names Of those whom he
missed. Gazing earnestly irto the face Of
each he said something appropriate, always
winding up with You see how God has an
swered my prayer, and | know you every
one He said, - shall retain ny senses to
the end. God has granted me that as a
token Of my acceptance. | have set my
house in order. My prayers have. all been
answered. My children are gathered around
my bed, and now, Lord what wait for2'
He then repeated prayer Of eleven
petitions, which he wanted each Of hls
children and grandchildren to use every
day, He had composed it for himself al
mast forty years ago, the night after his leg
was broken, and he had repeated it every
night since, not missing one and then he
prayed 40 Lord touch my lips with
hallowed fire like Isaiahs Of old, that T
may testify to thy love and mercy to me,
who am but little child in all save wicked
ness" He then requested that when the
physicians pronounced him dying he should
be informed Of it. AS the supreme hour
drew near, be turned to his son and asked
him in the language Of the ruling passion,
" Do seem TO drag my anchor ~ The an.
swer, they are sure and steadfast,' give
him great comfort. Just before he expired
he said, distinctly" Lord, receive my soul,n
and lifting up both hands toward Heaven,
like child who wants to be taken up,
calling on the name Of bis father. So he
passed away at twenty minutes to one
o'clock Saturday morning. He left re.
quest that his funeral should not take place
until the spring, and then he wished his
poor body TO be taken through the Goshen
Pass, when the rhododendrons and the
laurel's are IN bloom, aud asked US 70 pluck
their blossoms as we passed, and shower
them over his bier as we bore him to his
ina resting place, in Fredericksburg or
Richmond. 5#

As Mr.. Stanley improved, and realized
the condition from which he had been
rescued, BY kind care and attention from
the v Gilman family, and particularly from
Edith, the thought came as TO how he could
recompense such kindness.
He saw the pale face Of her, who, when
he was clerk in humble circumstances
had been the object Of loves young dream
and the events Of the months just passed
were drowned in the remembrance Of that
night, when, leaving Edith Wellman at her
cottage gate, he returned homeward, with
the belief that he loved and was beloved

Fred Stanley had ample time for reflective
thought, and with the kind attention he
received, could but bless the hearts and
hands Of those who miuistered to his com
fort
All were not false, lie knew, now, and
although feeling unworthy Of the pure affec-
ton Of such an angel Of light, as she had
proved herself TO be, he determined TO ask
Edith Wellman if she would be his wife ;
and the determination once formed he was
in great anxiety Of mind as to the reply he
would receive iron Edith.
Once he had proposed in the enthusiasm
Of fascinated lover, with no doubt OF
success, and his enchantress laughed at his
folly, and he thanked God now that those
chains Of madness were loosened, as be saw
the beautiful face Of the only one he had
ever truly loved, and heard the sweet voice
Of Edith, his blessed comforter.
With such kind care, our hero's recovery
was quite rapid, and when able to walk +,
Edith accompanied him I; and while seated
in a rustic arbor, under the sweet perfumed
roses, he took her little white hand 10 his,
confessing that she was the only person he

her to be his wife.
Edith Nellman was no dissembler she
modestlg acknowledged her love fol FREQ

who. had been separated for year in con
sequence Of ten thousand pounds.
Three months after, they were married,
and Fred Stanley betowed all that his
wealth could purchase, or affection conceive,

stances peculiarly sudden and unexpected.
