BAENETT, THE MISER, In the town of N——, upa Jeadi to the Bridle Smith-Gate, there lired a man named Barnett. He was about sixty years of his hair somewhat age, but, though was sprinkled with gray, and his form was some- what bowed, he had the energy of a r man, and a frame that seemed of iron. His brow was lofty and gave an air of intellect, but the hard his face and compressed ies bespoke craft. iis dwelling was an old mansion which had seen better days; secluded on all sides from public gaze, its gloomy courts, and still gloo- mier chambers accorded well with the charac- ter of the occupant, whilst the iron-bourd shutters testified to the care he had taken to secure the treasure he was said to have amassed. Por Barnett was reputed to be rich despite his eloquence on “ hard times,” “dear food,” “losses im business.’ He seemed to be chanting « perpetual dirgo in bonor of pov- erty; but the world never believes a man while he pleads her, unless he wears her liy- ery unmistakably. Otherwise it shakes it= head and smiles skeptically; but then it treads him under, and passes on its way! Thus Barnett had got the reputation of being rich, and he certainly deserved it. There were many in that town who of bankruptcies he had hurried on, widows he had plundered, and orphans he had stripped of all—legally, of course, (for “respectabi! ity’” respects law,) but forgetful of a higher com- mand than any man-made statute, from the great Law Giver of all! Secure in this legality, and buoyant in the recollection of the riches it had gained him, Barnett sat, on the evening that my tale com- mences, taking his solitary supper of porridge (he had achieved a bargain and indu ged ac- cordingly ;) a dead silence reigned in the streets, for the populace had deserted them for a great meeting outside the town, to give expression to the discontent then prevalent among the working classes. A hasty step was heard upon the stairs The mieer clutched his pistols and listened ali his might. Soon a young man stoxd within the room; still handsome, but worn with de- bauchery and want, an unsettled gleam in his dark eyes, and a visible agitation in his irame. ‘“ Father!" * Son!?? After fifteen years of separation their whole greeting was comprised in this! The word fell coldly ou the young man’s heart, and he paused as if to nerve himself to proceed, but words came not, and he stood ir- resolute. “Well!” choked the parent, “‘ what brings you here ?”’ The son took courage. Affection would have brought him to bis knecs. Harshness hard- exed him the more. “I havo come,’’ said he, “to seek employ- ment. I was starving where I was, and now appeal to you. I ask no charity, and plead no tie that your heart owns not.’” “You art right,’’ was the hard res ~ Ingratitude wa: out innumerable debts.”’ “« Ingratitude faltered the son. “Yes, ingratitude; did I not educate and rear you? did I not love you once? and did you not betray my love, squender my sub- stance, and now you come to burthen me!” “No, not burthen; I sought pleasure too eagerly, and have wasted the means you gave. T have-been 2e'f-willed. but have been pare ished. Years bave passed over me, and Lave seen me grovelling in poverty, livii = criminals, and when I had most need of cofn- fort, my wife and child laid low, starved! Father, starved! I sat and saw them, as day by day their flesh wasted, and their voices grew weak, and I could not help them, I could Only share their want; my soul thirsteth but for ope word of kindness.’ “Which you shall never have,”’ thundered the old man; ‘heir of my name, but traitor to my hearth, end in the folly which you have begun. You have done without me for fifteen years; good! I will do without you for life; go, and muy my heaviest—go, ere I curse you—go!"’ with the bitter earnestness words cannot express, the miser hissed out these words, and drawing his wrapper more closely round his form, staiked steruly and haughtily out of the room. His son sat for some minutes with his face hidden in bis hands. Then heaving a deep sigh that sounded of despair, ho staggered forth into tie silent streets. Thus they parted, and the last words they were destined to ex- change were words of bitterness and strife Ob, evilhour! Qh, terrible truth! truth be could not evade. Of all its accusers, con- science was the worst. Brought up by his father, even then stern and inflexible, he be- came acquainted with a set of ‘ choice spir- its’’ that haunted the corner of the streets, scribbled profane ianguage upon the wails, and and shouted it to the passers by; epirits who lived ina perpetual atmosphere cf smoke, and did their little best to appear like spirits from beiow. Ali thiswas in seoret. Thus hy- pocrisy was added to guilt. At length his ex- ceases ran him into debt, and his creditors at- tac his father, who, furious at his son’s delinquencies, forbade him to see him more. He was then foreed to seek a precarious exist- ence ina neighboring town There he mur- ried, and brought upon himself inereased bur- dens. Buttoil and ponury did the work of time; premature age crept upon him. Bereft of home and family, he ihiee himeelf upon 2 mercy thet never existed, upon an affection thap never was, It bad ended in tiffs! And return we to the miser. What words can paint the struggle within his breast? A last faint spark of natura! feeling strove with the mist of selfishneas. The hope of having one to care for him amongst the thousands thatcursed his name tempted him to forgive. The hate he had cherished for so long strove as furiously. i“ Suddenly were heard along the passage steps and voices, “ Who lives in this dismal house?’ said one. “The mi ” replied another, and they passed away. A black scowl gathered over his face, his better feel- ings were blotted out forever in the storm of hate these words called up. He “had taken to himself seven other devils worse than the first.”” While thus he sat full of evil thoughts, the towxspeople, excited by want and #l-advice, were in open riot, and their hoarse cries went up to heaven, mingied with the smoke of the building they bad fired. In their midst a man of middle age was the most eager in urging them on. ics said he wes-a government Spy, some a starving weaver, and vthers some fiend in human shape, so impervious to dan- ger did he seem. Few could have recognised in his matted locks and smoke-stained linea- ments the miser’s son, who scemed to seek a refuge from his misery in extraordinary exer- tions. A-great flame, shooting high into the a'r, and irom its elevating position illuminating ponse. {| the country round about, told that the castle was attacked. The miser started at the glare, hastened out, and beheld amghegier ina, ele- ment as it swii darted up noble pile, and crowned tei a brief but dreadful glory. The fitful dashing of the fire gave a terror to the scene, which the uproar of the: mob in- creased. 5 Hark, high above the din! ‘To the mi- ser’s!
