In him they find a friend, if he knows, as he usually does, that they have passed through life with a character of worth and hereditary integrity.

If they want a portion of their outfit, and possess not means to procure it, in kind-hearted James Trimble they are certain to find a friend, who will supply their necessities upon the strength of their bare promise to repay him.

In all parochial and public meetings--in every position where his influence can be used--he is uniformly the friend of the poor, whilst his high but unassuming sense of honor, his successful industry, and his firm, unshrinking independence, make him equally appreciated and respected by the rich and poor.

In fact, it is such men as this who are the most unostentatious but practical benefactors to the lower and middle classes." He had proceeded thus far, when a carriage-and-four came dashing up the street, and stopped at the very shop which belonged to the subject of Fenton's eulogium.

Both went to the window at the same moment, and looked out.
"Pray, whose carriage is that." asked the stranger, fastening his eyes, with a look of intense scrutiny, upon Fenton's face.
"That, sir," he replied, "is the carriage of Sir Thomas Gourlay." As he spoke, the door of it was opened, and a lady of surpassing elegance and beauty stepped out of it, and entered the shop of the benevolent James Trimble.
"Pray, who is that charming girl ?" asked the stranger again.
To this interrogatory, however, he received no reply.
