To remembrance, before | leave, n curious
case, known to myself. May tell IT To
you Some twenty years ago poor
young couple, not hong mari d, had isl on
into poverty. Tue doctor hnd ceased TO

iortS there we're none. Even necessa,ies
were wanting. Tho husband was dis
trscted. lie would have Tonev, he must
get money. When his young vile aud
infant child were we'll nigh starving, what
was to be doneH Stay, stay, Mr.. BEN
don, wW complete my story. Tho
money was obtained, sir Mr.. Blendun,
you know how. need not tell you that.
But in what way was it repaid ere mis-
chief came, aud how wa, the husband
saved saved from ruin and disgrace
saved Ia hevone rich aud respected mer-
chant 2 Whose motley saved him ? All !
Mr.. Bendun, that you do not know. But
will tell you. The twenty pound note
which rescued the poor husband rested
ohly ten minutes before in the packet book
of this very Staining whom you were
about t. prosecute, strangely enough, for
precisely the same amount. Yes. st that
time Staining was itch, may bc as rich N
you ARE now, hut with his riches no was
