Certain it is, that when his old friend Sir John Mansell came purposely to London to make the final arrangements, he was deeply struck by the increased irritability and misanthropy of his friend's mind. He, therefore, after many hours of earnest and interesting conversation, in which he strenuously argued against his resolution, and endeavoured to give a more gentle bias to his mind, with great delicacy hinted the claims of the son, as if by way of question in what names the funds were to be invested-but this natural inquiry was met by such an air of offended dignity and wounded pride, that the worthy banker and trustee almost repented of his interference.

"Did Sir John Mansell suppose he should defraud his son of his rights?" he inquired, "or was it necessary for his friend to be acquainted with the precise terms on which his son had consented to dock the entail?" at length he expressed his desire that the funds should be purchased in his assumed name of George Silverthong, and that he should take an early opportunity to attend at the bank and accept the stock.

"I regret to see," said Sir John, "that you are displeased with my suggestions, but I will not on that account neglect my duty. I presume you are aware that the stock ouce purchased and accepted in your assumed name, it can never after be removed but by yourself. In the event of your death it will be lost to your family for ever."

"I am aware of everything connected with the business, my excellent friend, but I must have my way," was the reply.

The honourable banker said no more, but as he proceeded on his errand was more than once tempted in order "to do a great right to do a little wrong." In short he felt much inclined, as by a mistake, to purchase the stock in the joint names of George Silverthong the elder, and George Silverthong the younger, but his cooler judgment told him this would be a violation of his trust, and he proceeded by his first directions-returned with the bank receipts-took a melancholy farewell of his old and young friends, and having afterwards dispatched his remaining business in London, returned to Devonshire.

Note. In reference to the last number of "WAYSIDE PICTURES THROUGH FRANCE, BELGIUM, AND GERMANY," we are glad to be enabled to state that the broils in Avranches, about the nomination of an English Clergyman, took place before the appointment of the Rev. Mr. Hickey, under whose zealous and able ministry the congregation appear to have laid aside their dissensions, and become perfectly united.
