a Fortune TO the wrong Lady,

Years ago two ladies of hish position
were joint tenants of an opera box in
London. The occupant Of the box
opposite was an elderly gentleman,
who used to bore them exceedingly by
staring at them through his glass, until
at last his attentions became q joke be-
tween them. Time rolled on, and they
had long since forgotten all about their
old admirer, when one day gentleman
called at Lord A, s house in London and
asked to see his sister. When she entered
the room he said, Am | addressing
Lady - Bruce2' She said that he
was. Then | have very agreeable,
and, imagine, unexpected piece of in
telligence. Under the will of Mr.. Wilson,
former client Of ours, you are entitled
to fine estate of several thousands a
year" The lady said it must be a mis-
take. She knew no one of the name.
" But, said the solicitor, noidentifca-
ton could be clearer" Then thought
struck him. Mr.. Wilson" he said,
" lies near by in his coffin at Mr.. Bent.
ings, the great undertaken, in James
street. Perhaps you would not mind
going with me and looking at his face. "
She went There was her old enemy
with the lorgnette. Not the least re.
markable part of the story was that he
had intended to leave the fortune to the
other lady, who was the special object of
his admiration, and who he had been
told was Lady - Bruce. London

Memoirs OF Cnnnt MrIitn.

An interview with Robespierre. His
toilet we'll arranged, his hair carefully
dressed and powdered, composed in his
manner, he formed the strsngest con-
trast to the disorder and affectatiou of
gross vulgarity displayed in the dress
and manner Of his colleagues Grave
in his manner, he took a very slight
share in the conversation, throwing in
only few sentertious phrases. But de-
spite the immobility of his pale sinister
visage, he might every now and then be
seen to be i'll at ease; and | learned
later that he felt indignant with De-
forgues for having brought together men
whom he already feigned to look upon as
uncertain patriots, or, what was still
more culpabie in his eyes, moderate.
So, during this dinner, conversation
grew generally constrained And l
could see, besides, by the very few words
Robespierre used, that he was desirous
of distinguishing himself as statesman
of mark He spoke Of the foreign rela-
tions of France, of the necessity for ex-
tending them and Of renewing the alli-
ance with Switzerland. He had already
inquired into the subject of the ministry.
Aud remember that it was not without
some terror that M. Colchen, who was at
the head OF the Swiss section, found him
self summoned by the minister to a con-
ference at which Robespierre was pres.
ent. / relate this just to show that, even
at that early time, the man was aspiring
to be the head Of the government; and
that, wishing to seize the reins Of power,
he was ambitious to acquire beforehand
the reputation Of statesman and politi-
clan OF large views.
