BY Jorm MORTIMER Ify fatties was a farmer of small pro perty, with no other learning than what he had acquired at a charity school; but my mother being dead, and 1 the only child, he determined to give me that ad vantage which he fancied would have made him happy—a learned education. I was therefore sent to the grammar school of C—, and the tee to Cambridge, with a view, of qualifying me for holy orders. Here, having but a small allowance from my *her, and being naturally of a timid or bkhful disposition, I had no opportu nityW rubbing off that naked awkward ness Which was destined to cause me so much misery. lap ay person I am tall and thin, with a ntircoraplexion and light flaxen hair, but tifsuch extreme susceptibillty of shame that in the smallest subject ofeonfusion my Wood all rushes into my cheeks, and I war a perfect "lull-blown rose." The lege4fe . . maim of this failing made me avoid , and I became enamored of a col .. I had determined on living at tlykaMversity and taking pupils, when two unexpected events greatly altered. th posture of my affairs; namely, my father's death and, the airival of an uncle from the East Indies. This uncle I had seldom heard my father mention; and it was generally be lieved that he was long Once dead, when he arrived in England only a week too late to close his brother's eyes. I confess (what I believe has often been experienced by those whose education has been better than that of their parents) that my father's ignorance and 'vulgar manners had Often made me blush .to think 'that I was his son; and at his death liwas not inconsola ble for the loss of that whic.h. I was not unfrequently ashamed to own. My uncle, too, was but little affected, for he had been separated from his brethers more than thirty years, and in that time he had ac quired a fortune of thirty thousand pounds; and upon this he built his hopes of never ending happiness. tint while he' *fts Iplaning schemes of greatness - and delight, whether the change of climate afftetdd hien, or what other cause,, I know not s .he was A snatched from all his, dreams ofjoy by "a short Illness of which he died; leatng me heir to all his property.

MOM* Would enable me to see the ladies With tolerable intrepidity. As I approached the house, the dinner- ZR 24, 1869. dinner, by . it of punctui pressed with this idea, I blushed the deep: est crimson as my name was repeatedly announced by the servants, who ushered me into the library, scarcely knowing whom I saw. At my entrance I sum moned all my fbrtitude, and made my new-learned bow to Lady Barton; but un fortunately bringing back my left foot to the third position, I trod on the gouty toe of poor Sir Thomas, who had followed close at my heels to be the nomenclator of the family. The confusion this occasioned in me is hardly to be conceived, since none but bashful men can judge of my distress; and of that description the number, I be lieve, is very small indeed. The barc net's politeness by degrees dissipated my concern; and the cheerfulness of her lady ship, joined to the familiar chat of the young ladies and their brothers, insensi bly led me to throw off my reserve and sheepishness, till at length I ventured to join in conversation, and even to start fresh subjects. ' The library in which we were seated, being richly furnished with books in ele gant binding, I conceived that Sir Thomas was a man devoted to literature, and ven tured to give my opinion respecting the several editions of the Greek classics, in which Sir Thomas's ideas entirely coin cided with mine. While talking on this subject my attention was directed to an edition of Xenophon in sixteen volumes, which, as I had never heard of such a thing, greatly excited my curiosity and I rose to examine what it could be. Zhebar onet saw what I was about, and, as I sup posed willingly to save me the trouble, rose to take down the volumes, which made me more eager to prevent him, and hastily laying my hand on the first volume I pull ed it forcibly; but lo! instead of books, a board, which by the book binder's art had been made to look like sixteen volumes, came tumbling down and unluckily pitch ed upon an inkstand on the table under it. In vain did Sir Thomas assure me there was no harm; I saw the ink streaming from a beautiful inlaid table on the splendid Tur key carpet, and scarce knowing what I did, attempted to stop its progress with my white pocket handkerchief. In the height of my confusion we were informed that dinner was served up, and with joy I then understood that the bell which at first had so alarmed my fear was only the half-hour dinner bell. Id walking through the hall and suite of apartnit= to 'fhb dining room I had time partially to collect my scattered sen ses, and was desired to take my seat be tween Lady Barton and hoar eldest daugh ter at the table. Since the fall of the wooden Xenophon my face had been con tinually burning like a fire-brand; and I was just beginning to recover myself, and to feel comfortably cool, Mum as unlocked for accident rekindled all my heat and blushes. Having set my plate of soup too near the edge of the table, in bowing to Miss Dinah, who politely cotnplimented me on the pattern of my waistcoat, discharged the whole scalding contents into my lap. In spite of an immediate supply of nap kins to wipe the surface of my clothes, my trowsers were not stouttinouth to save me from the paintlitt Eyfrootts'or this stiklden fomentation and for scone minutes my legs sad thighs seemed stewettin a. boiling caldron.. At last, when the. pain began to abate I managed 'to bear it in silence, and sat with my lower extremities parboiled, amidst the stilled giggling of the servants. I will not inflict upon ray readers a re lation of all the blunders which I made during the first course ; of my spilling a sauce-boat, upsetting a salt-cellar, etc.; rather let me hasten to the second course, when fresh disasters quite overwhelmed me. I had a piece of rich sweet pudding on Lmy fork when Miss Louisa Barton begged to trouble me for a pigeon that stood near me. In my haste, scarce knowing what I did, I whipped the hot pudding into my ' mouth. It was impossible to conceal my agony, my eyes were starting from their sockets. At Wet, in spite of shame and ' resolution; I was compelled to drop the cause of torment on my plate. Sir Thomas, his sons, and the ladies all coißassionat ed my misfortune each advised a dif ferent application., One 'recommended' oil, another water, bat all agreed that wine was best for drawing out the heat ; and a glass of sherry vtas ordered me. The glass was eagerly seized by me • oh ! low shall I tell the seqnel ! 'Whether the butler by accident mistiziolt'or purposely designed to drive me mad lie gave me pale brandy, with which I filled my mouth already !lay . ed and blistered- ,Wcitally unwed to any kind of ardent spirits, with my tongue, throat and palate. as raw as beef, what could Ido ? I eimild' not swallow, and, clapping hands: upon my mouth, the liquor squirted through my nose and mouth like a fountain over all the dishes —and I Was crushed by bun/hi of laughter from all quallers. In yain'tlid Sir Thomas reprimand his servants ; in vain did Lady Barton chide her daughters.; for the measure of my shame and their diversion was not yet , completed. To relieve me front the this accident state of perspiration which this accident had caused, without considera tion I wiped my. face with that ill-fated handkerchief, which was still wet from the consequences of the Xenophcin, and covered all my features with inky streaks •in all directions. The baronet himself could not suppert this shock, but Joined his lady in the general laugh ; while I, 'springing from the table in despair, rush ' ed out of the house, and ran home in an agony of confusion and disgrace which the most poignant sense of guilt could not have excited.

Fon Supreme Judge of Pennsylvania we want two things—a lawyer and aloyal man. IT is estimated by intelligent partiei, that the Republican majority in Ohio will reach 40,000. AFTER the election the Democratic es which they are now so anxiously praying for, will be Pity Pity Poor Packer. GREAT excitement exists in Uincinuat over the attempt of the Democracy to abolish the Bible from the public schools. TILE Democrats have nominated for Treasurer of Luzern county a man who can neither read nor write.—Philo.delphie, Press. ASA PACKER says he never read the letter of General Rosecrans. Has he ever read the Ten Commandments or the Rev enue laws? NONE of the Democratic papers appear to have heard from Omaha since the elec tion. Reason—lncreased Republican ma jorities. IVnEN vice wants a license to desolate, it only has to ask the Democratic party for a passport. When treason would dis rupt a nation, it found in Democracy an abettor. Two MILLION DoLLAns per year is the rate at which Republicanism has been paying off the State debt of Pennsylvania. Governor Geary and the Republican party stand pledged to continue it at this rate. MTh . jOIIN BELL, formerly a candi date for th• Presidency on what was known as the "Bell-Everett" or American ticket, died at his residen6e in Nashville, Tenn., on Friday last. TILE Ohio Democrats went from Rose crane, the War Democrat, to Pendleton, the Anti-War Democrat, at one step. The stride, says an exchange, was long enough to split it up to its chin. DeSIOtRACY is a hard thing to under stand. It means negro suffrage in the South, and opposition to it in the North. If this doctrine is right in one place, it certainly ought to be in another, but then Democracy never means consistency. Am PACKER'S residence is in Mauch Chunk, except when the assessor or col lector is about, then it is in Philadelphia. How small it looks to see this "bloated" ionaire dodging about to escape the payment of his public taxes. What difference does it make to the taxpayers? They are sure to be robbed anyhow, if the Democracy retain power. An ignorant "cuss" can plunder just as fast as a man who can read and write.— Miners Jo urnal. EIGHT more years of Republican rule ht the same rate' as the past eight, will completely wipe out the State debt left HA by Democratic rulers. Everybody who wants it done will accordingly vote for Geary. ASA PACKER has made his thousands out of the sweat of other men's brows— by speculation—by taking advantage of the rise and fall in the price of coal. It Is said the late suspension at the coal mines put another million dollars, i his pocket. PACKER is worth 1;.%:20,000,000, yet tiario , record shows that he managed to evade the payment of more than eight - or nine dollars of taxes last year. Is the man who cheats the government out Of its just dues a good citizen? Does such a man deserve to be given control of the State government? THE principal campaigner of ye Demo cracy is advancing in price. Whisky iA going up. It calculates the difference between 22 cents per gallon in olden times. and $1.30 now, and sees in it a precursor of forthcoming defeat. ChCa,p whisky iw absolutely necessary to Democratie success at the polls. NOT long ago we undertook to inter pret the P's for which the Democracy clamor so loudly thus: Packer, PCrbing and Plunder. We have another version, which, in the light of recent develop ments, seems to us more appropriate: Parsimonious Packer's Purse. Tun new Democratic ticket in Phila • delphia, just before the election, does not give much encouragement to the faithfal. It is a confession of weakness. The New York Sun says it looks as if things are going bad with the Pennsylvania Demo cracy, and "fears" they will be beaten out of sight. GEORGE H. PENDLETON has boasted on the floor of Congress that ha never voted a man or a dollar against the rebel lion, or a mouthful of food to the soldiers who were fighting to maintaiathegoven mentl Mr. Democrat, don't you feel that you belong tb a preciottsparty?

The session extended through nine months, and during' all Mai :Ulna Asa Packer was at his desk in the liense . but filty-jbur days! although it was one. of the most if not the most important session that had ever been held.
