proper to the occasion had been performed, and
quickly retired is the mimes directions by which
they had approached the church. Le er in g th e
clerk to teturn by the village road, the bride,
bridegroom, and elderly gentleman to turn back
by the foot path over the fields, and the visionary
stranger of these pages to vanish out of them, a
prey to baffled curiosity, in any direction that be
pleases, l.•t us follow Doctor Chennery to the
vicarage breakfast table, sod bear what ho has
to say about his professional exertions of the
morning, in the familiar atmosphere of his own
family circle
The persons assembled at the breakfast were,
first, Mr Phippen, a guest ; secondly, Mies
Sturrh, a governess; third, fourthly, and fifthly.
Miss Louisa Chennery (aged ten rears.) Mi..s
Amelia Cheonery (aged nine year.,) and Master
Robert Chennery - (aged eight years.) There
was no mother's face present to make the house
hold ptrtnrn complete. Doctor Chennery had
hero a widower since the birth t,f his youngest
child
The guest wits an old college acquaintance of
the vicar's, and he was nupposed to be now stay

Most men of any character at all contrive to get
a reputation of some sort which individualizes
them in the social circle amidst which they move

much inclined to be embraceably plump ab eut

On the ebaracteristie peculiarities of Miss
Sturch'o pupils it is not necessary to dwell at
very great length. Miss Loutsx's habitual wealt•

Miss Amelia•s ,arineipal defect was a disposition

As snnn as the vicar- entered the breakfast
parlor, the children aasailed him with a chorus
of shouts He was a severe disciplinarian in the
observance of punctuality at meal times; and ho
now stood convicted by the clock of being too
late for breakfast by a quarter of an hour
" Sorry tn here kept you waiting, Miss Stfurch,"
said the vicar; "but I have a gond excuse for
being late this morning "
" Pray don't mention it, Sir," said Miss
Starch, blandly rubbing her plump little hand.

"Stomach still nut of order—eh, Phippen?"
asked the vicar, beginning to raree the ham.
Mr Phippen shook his large head dolefully,
placed hit yellow forefinger, ornamented with a
large turquoise ring, on the centre cheek of his
light green summer waistcoat—looked piteously
at Doctor Chennery, and sighed—remove,' the
finger, and produced from the breast pocket of
his wrapper a little mahogany ease—oink nut of
it a neat pair of apothecary's scales, with the ac
companying weights, a morsel of ginger, and a
highly-polished silver nutmeg grater Dear
Miss Stureh will pardon an invalid:" sail Mr
Phippen, beginning to grate the ginger feebly
into the nearest tea-cup,
" Guess what has made me a quarter of an

mysteriously all round the table
