LYMAN ENGLISH, Barrist "| Novembera1, 1000 Ww " Sia v _ {read the paper; Mr. Bonsall's Matchmaking, My Uncle, Alexander McFarlane, was waiting breakfast, an event very uncom= mon' with him, for Aunt Nancy was the soul of punctuality, Nevertheless she was alittle late this morning. Eight o'clock fhe breakfast hour, and. it. was newafully n minutes past. _ Aon Nancy was not my Uncle Me- Farlane's wife. Ho was a widower of some fifteen years standing. Fifteanyears before his wife had left him a delicate little boy for a keepsake, and had gone away, whispering with her last breath that she was very happy. © Her mother and sister; who had come to the house to nugse ber, remained after her death, aceordiog to Uncle McFarlane's par:icular request. He would be so glad, be said, if it were not exacting too much of a sacrifice, to have Mrs, Howard and Nancy stay with him, keep up Lis house, and attend to his little boy. So Mrs, Howard, wha was a widow with very straitened income, rented ber little house'in the New Englard vil. lage where she had always lived, and came to preside over Mr. MeFarlone's spacious mansion and liberal housekeeping in Greenwich Street, New York--my Uncle McFarlane lived in Greenwick Street, a fact which marks the date of my story with sufficient exactness. Mr. [toward bad been dead three months, end still Aunt Nancy presided over. Uncle McFarlane's lousehold -- Neither of them bad ever thought of a change as either necessary or desirable. Nancy had been a fair, prim, and some- what quiet girl when she came to live in Greenwieh Sireet. She was still a fair, somewhat prim woman of thirty five, with pretty, soft brown hair, yidlet blue eyes, aod & pure, soft, and somewhat changeful pletion. She was not in the least like a modern young lady's heroine. She bad po particular aspirations beyoad the limited and old fashioned one ot doing her duty in that state of life to which it bad pleased God to call her. She did pot consider herself a martyr to uncongenial cireumstances, because she made Uncle McFarlane's shirts and mended his stock- ings, and even the fact of going down in'o the kitchen to do up his immaculate ruf- fles, when cld Mrs, Brown's hands were too lame, and. the chambermaid's too, up- skillful to be trusted with them, did not awaken in her mind any desire to rush out into the world in search of a career. No such fancy ever entered Nancy Howard's head. She was absolutely * contented with ber present condition," willing to go en making Uncle' McFarlane's shirts, keeping his louse, spoiling bis child, and " making it pleasant for him," os she sim- ply said. Her great pleasures consisted in doing muslin embroidery, visiting the poor, geing to church, snd reading the English classics, with now and then a novel. 1f she had eny trials she kept tiem to herself, confiding them to no spir- itual director, newspaper editor, or. female friend. Such was Nawcy Howard at five-and thirty. My Uncle McFarlane was a fine gen- tleman in the true sense of the phrase.-- He was unimpeachable in integrity, un- spotted in morals, in manners absolutely peifect--a little set in his way, and pos- sibly somewhat particular io eating and drinking. Te was also given to amusing himself in a quiet way*with the peculiari- ties of those about Lim. But he never willingly hurt or neglected nny one, and and he Lad a certain genial graciousness of manner, which made all his employees from Mr. Saunders, his confidentail clerk, down to Black Sam, the carman, and Davy, the errand boy, feel the betier when he spoke 10 them. ¢ Miss Nancy is a litle late this morn= ing !" observed Uncle McFarlane, as Brown, his man, brought him the papers. ¢ Yes, sir. She was out tit] after twelve last night, at Sam's, sir !" ¢ Indeed ! How was that 7' ¢ Well, you see, sir, Sam's girl took with a quick consumption last spring, and bis wife aint very rugged either. Miss Nancy, she's been there a good deal, and when. Susy was struck with death: last evening, she sends for her. So Miss Nancy, she went and stayed till it was all over. It a great comfort 'fo them, sir. You see, Sam's wife, she's got a little young baby, too, and altog:ther it comes hard : 2 ¢ I should say so, indeed. We must see that everything is done, Brown.-- Find out when the fuoeral is to be, and fet me know, and tell your wife to send ther something comfortable when she goes to market. But here comes Muss Nancy. Send up breakfast, Brown.' Breakfast was usually a somewhat si- lent meal, save for Alick's chatier with his aunt ; for Mr. McFarlane always invariably asking - Miss Nancy's 'permission, : ¢ Why do you look at me so closely, Alick ?' asked Miss Nancy, as she caught her nephew's gaze fixed upon her. ~ ¢ I waa thinking bow. protty you are !' answered Alick, with bis usval frankness. ¢ I think you are a hundred times prettier than Miss Regina Scuyler, that they make 80 much fuss about. And 1 don't want her for a stepmother. So there I an's Block, Brock st., Whitby.

Then be said Aunt Nanoy vas an old maid ; and I said if she was forty old maids she was a bundred times prettier than Miss Regina --and so she is I' PRE I" '¥ We 'fan't discudd that matte my uncle, annoyed but repressing his an- noyaoce, as usual. ' You need not mind Mr. Bonsall. 'We all know. his ways !' There was something in his father's tone which made Alick aware that he had better drop the subject. Uncle Mc~ Forline went on witk bis paper, but now and then glanced over with an expression of some interest. * Nancy is pretty I" he said" to himself: ¢ There is something in her face which reminds me of my moth~ or: lo Breakfast being over, my uncle put on his overcoat, asking, as he did so, his in variable question, ¢ Have you any com- mands for the city ?' * And, by the way, see that everything is done for Sam's family. The poor wo- man will perhaps be the better for some port wine, or ale, and let everything be nice abopt the funeral. I will take the expense on myself. Sam is a good faith- ful fellow. 'Really Ndvicy is very pretty!' said my uncle, as be walked out of the house. '1 never thought much abowt it before, but she is decidedly pretty. Miss Regina Schuyler, indeed, Really Bonsall is too bad to put such notions into the boy's head." And Mr. McFarlane pursued his way to the office, unconscious of the fate awaiting him there. ¢ Any letters, Saunders ?' he asked, as be passed the clerk's desk. ¢ I see the packet is in." 'Yes, sit. They are on your desk, and and Mr. Bomall is waiting to speak to you in your room. What ails Mr. Mac- Farlave ? said the clerk to himself, as bis principal passed on. ¢I don't believe he ever before forgot to ask for my wife, 1 hope nothing is wrong." Mr." Saunders bad an invalid wife, who was indebted to Mr. McFarlane for many little comforts. Mr. Bonsall was waiting in the office: He was a stout man with red hair and whi-kers, and a bluff, uncompromising manner. He bad a habit, on which he prided himself, of always "speaking bis mind" --that is, of saying everything and anything which came into bis head--a habit which did not cause him to be belov- ed by his acquaintance. He and Uncle McFarlane had once been partners, and they still kept up a kind of intimacy at which many people wondered. ¢ Well, Bonsall, how goes the world with you 2" nsked my uncle, leisurely tak ing off bis coat and overshoes. . ¢ Oh, well enough. If it don't go to suif 'me, | make it, that's all' answered Mr. Bonsall. ¢ But, see here, McFarlane, | didn't come here to bandy compliments. 1 want to talk to you about a serious mat. ter' ¢ Well, what is it?' asked my uncle, not without a longing glance at his foreign letters and papers. I'm going 1g speak my mind, as I al- ways do,' said Mr, Bonsall. ¢1 want to koow what you mean to do about Nancy?' ¢ About Nancy!' repeated my uncle, with a little start, ¢ What about Naney?' ¢ Aye, what about her 2--that's just it, Of course you can't go on as you. do now. Tt was well enough when the old lady was alive ; but her death changes all that, and folks will talk. Nancy's an old maid, to be sure-- forty, if she's an hour--' .¢ Thirty-five I" said my uncle, correcting bim. ¢ Well, five years don't matter much. She's an old maid, as I said. Still, folks will and do talk, and you ought to get rid of her. "The truth is, McFarlane, you ought to marry again; and of course you can't with Naney in the house.' ¢ You think so ¢ Why, of course, not.. ¢There's Miss | Regina Sebuyler, now. She'd jump at the chance of marrying you ; but you don't suppose she' would' set' up housekeeping with Nancy Howard, do you 1' = *T must beg, Bonsall, that you will not bring Miss Schuyler's name into question,' said my uncle. ¢ Such liberties are not 10 be taken with respectable young ladies." ¢ Liberty or not, she would have you in a minute. And there's another thing about it. Nancy Howard is dead in love with you, herself, and of course you can't marry her--that's out of the question." ¢ Nancy Howard I' repeated my uncle, in a tone of bewilderment. ¢ To be sure, man. Any one but you would bave seen it, though Nancy is not the woman to throw herself at any man's head, I'll say that for her. My wife has known this for a long time, and I can see it, too, Of course you can't marry her. She is old, and poor, and plain, and in delicate health besides. Seo, of course, all you can do is to get rid of her. Send Ber home to her native place with a pen~ sion, marry 'Regina Schuyler, and begin life anew.' 3 young lady--to say ¢ What is that about Miss Scuyler ?' asked my uncle, laying down the paper <9) I WHOLE 0. 802 ments ?' asked my uncle, as' Mr..

'1 think I did a good piece of work this morning I' said Mr. Bonsall to his wife, as ke was preparing to go' out. ¢ I spo to McFarlane 'about Nancy." An 0 repeated the substance of the conversa tion. = Mrs. Bonsall was a quiet, kipd- hearted woman ; but, like her husband, she sometimes spoke her mind. She did do on this occasion, ' Bonsall, you are an idiot! Most men are in such matters, and YOu are a perfect one.' oy (Concluded neztivoeek.) pmmunications, To the Editor of the Observer. Dear Sir,-- Your topographical knowledge of this County doubtless enables you to form a correct opinion as to the exact position of Grundy's Hollow, it would be a superero- gation for me to enter into des:riptive details concerning its locality, but as I am sure you can know little of the character of its inhabitants perbaps a few words on that head followed by a mild example of their general proceedings might not be amiss. The laws that regulate the actions of some people we ignore. In matters of dispute we prefer standing on our muscle and thus bring into exercise the strength and activity with which nature bas endow. ed us for the simple reasons that dispu'es are settled in such a manner more natur-- ally, quicker and cheaper than by an or= divary process at law. It has been a custom with us from the earliest times to' change our municipal officers 'aa often as possible, so that every man in bis time may occupy some public position, the better to qualify him for engaging in pub-~ lic aftairs with proper confidence. ( Not many years ago It became neces-- sary to elect a Trustee for our public school, and a meeting for the piirpose was held in the School (louse. - The business transacted, however, was declared illegal and the person whom the meeting declared Trustee was dethroned. In calling a séc- ond meeting more than ordinary precaution' was adopted to obviate the necessity of calling a third. It was punctually and numerously attended. A chairman being formally installed and a secretary named, the chairman ordered an old chandelier brought into use for the occasion, to be raised to tho ceiling and all other articles suitable for missiles to he collected and secured ; then baving advised the secre~ tary to ascend the attic out of danger, he' read the following rules, which, he said, were embodied in the new School Act : 1. That all unnecessary swearing must be avoided. 2. In case any {wo ratepayers should engage io a physical discussion, no third party must od aly consideration interfere, but let each acquit himself as becomes a man-- ¢ Mr. Chairman, I'll give you to duder stand that we will do jist as we darn please. No sich restrictions as them shall fetter us, so you kin close your Book at wonst and receive the nominatiofls." " Look here, Sam Beagle, as occupant of this hair I shall not be interrupted b; any sich a low Tived character as you, am supposed" (assuming the attitude of a scrimer) *" to be as good a manas® * *" The rest of tho sentence was not finish~ ed, for the floor being very dusty, bis at.' tention was directed to the dirty state of bis black coat that had been spread on the ground.
