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

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'

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.

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? Wouldn't
you give 'a premium fbr a skunk, hole to

PotcxEl wia.a member of . the Thirty

183... 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. And for the
fifty-four days which ho gave to the public
service, he drew' fuil pay for the session,
$3000; fifty- jive dollars and fifty -jive cents

—Au Irishman has defined nothing to
be "a rootless Mocking without a leg."
A description by another Emerland
Islander is better. "What is nothing?"
he asked. "Shut your eyes and you'll see
it," said Pat.
