Clara Elwell's face was the sunniest

ed upon me for advice one morning, in
reference to a somewhat delicate affair. =
as she modestly termed the object Of her
business, | became instantly int Q ted
in her.
Il think you know Mr. Miles Gras-
pail 7" she inquired, at first.
told her | did. had known this
person, boy and man, for nearly forty
years, and was his legal adviser.
Then | need only add" she continu-
ed, chat he is my guardian. An hon
est, but misery and penurious man,
crotchety and wilful in his way, and de-
termined in any plan he undertakes, to
carry his point, without regard to the
fancy or pleasure of others"
"Well," replied, che is rich; he
has no family; he has passed the average
of years of life considerably, and will
make you his heir, Miss, very likely. |
have heard him speak of you often"
knew you had served him in pro-
fessional way" replied the young lady,
''and this is why called upon you to-
day, in preference to consulting an
other"
Gin what manner may | be able to
serve you, then p | inquired.
My case is simply this" she said.
81 have known Mr. Calder five years
| am eighteen, and have been engaged
to him over year. He is in every way
worthy, industrious, fairly talented, hon
orable and good, but he is poor clerk
and is without present prospects My
old guardian never liked hm-never
countenanced him. He has always op-
posed our growing, and now matured
acquaintance, and has plan for my mar
riage with creature of his own--a dis
tant relative, | think, towards whom
entertain an unconqucrable aversion"
"Then you are not altogether on
friendly terms, should say, with your
guardian"
ooh yes, always. He works very
quietly, you see, sir He does not talk
