better, as far as the eatables are concerned,
but at any rate you won't be worked into a
galloping consumption by pack Of flint
hearted oyerseers, as have heard say they
are who allow themselves to be taken care
OF by the corporation. But come--we
shall both perish here-it's as cold as ST.
IBERIA tonight, and you don't look as if you

As soon as the mechanic could make the
poor fellow understand, he aided him to re-
gain his feet, and they went together into
a neighboring cellar, where Richards or
dered supper for two, and while it was pre-
pairing, drew from his new acquaintance the
story Of his nights adventures, from which
it appeared, that after being thrust forth
from every door at which he had applied,
and unable to obtained even morsel Of
food, he had fallen in state of exhaustion
upon the steps of the mansion where the
rich merchant had found him.--That he
had taken the shilling given him by the
latter to neighboring eating house, W here
it was discovered to be worthless, and he
was beaten from the door in consequences
Further than this he had no distinct recol-

Could Mr.. Benedict have heard this sto-
ry as the narrator delivered it, he would
never have ceased to reproach himself fol
his want of consideration; for as have al.
ready limited, he was not of an illiberal dis
position, but only thoughtless. Contented
with his own situation, he rarely troubled
himself to look into the condition or cir

was entirely ignorant With regard to the
money he was, of course, as much deceived
as the person to whom he had given it; but
had he taken pains to redect-had he not
been wholly absorbed in the happiness Of
his family, he would not have contented
himself with this trihing exhibition Of his
bounty; he would have done more-he
would have interested himself in the object
would have endeayored to benefit him
permanently. But the opportunity had now
1 passed, and it was to others hands that the
wanderer was to be indebted for his rege-
neration.
