Kit demonstrated but in vain. Bell
enden assured him that stern necessity
compelled him to the act, and begged
to inform him that his resolution was
so unalterably fixed that no power on
earth could shake it. That evening
the advertisement appeared in the Trans
cript. The next morning a modest tap
at Bellenden's office door produced an
invitation to enter, and highly re-
spectacle old gentleman avaiIed himself
Of the permission. He was dressed in
black, with white neckcloth, wore Il
heavy gold chain and square old-fash-
ioned watch key, had polished shoes
and white stockings, and carried butt
cane with an ivory head, the very beau
ideal of an old school Boston merchant.

"What family have you, sir ?" asked
Bellenden with the air Of a practical
landlord.

TO BE LET-FURNIsHED.
BY FRANCIS A. DURIvAGE.

"Anythinp over to-day?" asked, with
a significant and ironical emphasis, a
young and briefess lawyer, named Kit
Hammerton, of another equally young
and brieAess limb, " Bill Bellenden, as
he sauntered into the latter's room in
Court street, which room had a very
professional air-a rusty CRATE filled
with scraps of paper, and cigar ends,
a table Uttered with law books and
sheets of foolscap, floor ditto, leather
bottomed arm-chairs, very crazy and
truculent looking, window panes that
looked like cobwebs, all as it should be
minus a client. Anything over p be
repeated.
cover head and ears in love and
debt, . answered Bellenden, ''that's all.
o. | forgot two dimes and a smooth
quarter in the wafer-box."
"And the governor ?"
sHas departed for New York and
Philadelphia to be gone for three
months. He has left his town house,
You know, and was preparing to reside
at his country seat at B.-was look
ing round for servants in fact. The
grounds are taken care Of by his next
door neighbor gardner. He thinks
now he shan't be back till fall. "
"Of course he came down hand
somely before he left, J" remarked Kit,
whiting the table with his penknife.
"TIe gave me a cheque for my quar-
ter's allowance in advance" answered
Bellenden.
''Have you drawn the money ?"
MY dear fellow, l require it all to
consolidate my debts"
g What a stupid proceeding u
9 A necessary sacrifice. Ny creditors
were pressing. I had to compound
with them for the credit Of the bar. ;"
"And think you told me that, not
daring to confde the state Of your
affairs to your father, you had taken up
your lodgings on the sofa here, and
dined at cheap eating-hOuses. =
+" Exactly SO, Kit
" "Umph, pleasant way Of passing
the next three months, certainly"
{" l shall live like nabOb for the next
three months, and have little cash to
boot, 4 said Bellenden, triumphantly.
" As how ?'
i" You know just now everybody is
moving out Of town."
g Yes, and you're obliged, thanks to
your want of forethought and extrava-
gance, to swelter here during the hot
months. -
Listen, will you r. cried Bellen-
den. Hear what l have written. .
And taking up a sheet of foolscap, he
read as follows:

er must come through q thorough knowledge
of human nature and the exercise of good
common sense. Without an association of
these two things no person can become a
good, or. in other words, a popular writer.
We have in mind several men of our imme-
date acquaintance, who write smoothly and
beautifully; but who, lacking the second
requisite are not at all liked as writer's. On
the other hand, we can place our finger on
men whose judgment, SO far as it relates to
what would please the people, is almost en-
tirely perfect, but who, when they under
take to put their thoughts il words, put their
words in SO badly and round their periods SO
roughly that 40 one cares to read after them
for any great length OF time.

Good Writing.

IL you desire to write for the press, and be
what is termed . good writer, there are two
a%ll-important things that you must look af-
ter. One Of these is . plain and easy style,
clearly within the comprehension Of all dis
posed to read after you; and the other is a
theme calculated to interest everybody as
near as it IS possible for everybody to be in
terested. The first Of these requirements
may be most easily secured By the careful
study Of model writer's, such, for instance,
as Irving, Hawthorne ard Dickens; the 9th
