The library was richly garnished with books ot glttering elegance. I believed that Sir Thomas was a man of letters, and I ventured to give my opinion on several ‘ editions of the Greek classies, on which the Baronet‘s opinion agreed on all ‘poinis with mine. I was led to that subject by seeing ’an ed‘tion of Xenophon in sixteet yolumes: which as I had never heard speak of them before, excited in me & lively curiosity. I got up to examine what they were; Sir Thomas comprehended my design and, wishing, L suppose, to rparo‘ me that trouble, he alse stood np to take the book, this reâ€"doubled my eagcruess to prevent him; so that Lhastily pat my hand on the first ‘volume and pulled strongly ; bat, heaveys | instead of * book; a board coverâ€" ed with leather, with gilding made to reâ€" sewmble the "sixteen "FÂ¥olumes," fell; "folling on, and nnfortnately overtirning & "writâ€" ing desk on the table placed ‘benesth the library: :Inâ€"vain Sir Thoimas assured e that there was no harm dose;â€"I saw the At my entrance I sammoned up all my courage, and I made my bow tolady Goodâ€" win ; but unfortunately, in bringing back my left foot to the third position, I stepped on the gonty toe of poor Sir Thomas, who was following me closely ‘to introduce me to his £iumily. The embarrassment which I experienced on that occasion is difficult to conceive sinte bashful persons alome are able to judge of my disgrace, and their number is, T belisve, very few, The politaness of the Baronet dissipated, little by little, my confusion, and I was surprisâ€" od to see how a good education mads him concesl his torture, and to appear perfectly at case after so painfal an accident. ‘ Maving then acquired the art of walking without making filse steps, and learned to salute, I set myself boldly to the task of auswering the invitation of the Baronet to dine with the family, not doubting that my new talents would permit me to present myself before the ladies with passable im trepidity. But alss! how vain are all the hopes of theory, when they are not buslain-: ed by habitual practico., A;I approached the mansion the sound otf a bell alarmed | me, and T feared that the dinnor would be ‘ spciled by my want of exactness ; torment: ed by this thought I became red as scarlet, while my name was succesively announced by several livere1 footmen who in(.rndut:et]l me int> the library hardly kuowing where | I was or what I saw. | _ Convineed of my awkward air, I took lthw for some time prrticular lessons from fiiMI professor who tanght‘Gentlemen to Danee‘ and, although at first I met with astonishâ€" !ed ing difficulties in the art that he taught, | ui my knowledge of mathematics has Leen of | by marvellous help to iastruct me to keep my |hbu equillibrinm, and to adjust my centre of thi gravity with the fine positions. _P‘hnc € ‘ Since then I have bought property in the | country where I am surounded by those ; whom they call fashionable people ; @and if | you think of my parentage and of my *| starched air, you will be troubled to conâ€" sceive how imuch my.company is sought for lI in the neighborhood, especially those in. which there are marriageable daughters. l 1 have received fanmliar visits, and most pressing invitations from gentlemen of my . neighborhood ; but although I might deâ€" ’ aire to accept their offers of friendship, I am | constantly excused under the pretext of not being yet quite established. For the truth of it is, that, when Iâ€"mount my horse, or when I go on foot, with the express purâ€" | pose of returning their numerous visits, my , heart fails me when I approach their doors | and that more than once I have returned home more decided to make a new attempt ! on the following day. | ~ However I have at last resolved to conâ€" I quer my bashfulness and three days ago I ' accepted an invitation to dine toâ€"day with a man whose simple manners and openâ€" heartedness left me no doubt as to a cordidl ; welcome. _ Sir Thomas Goodwin, who lives | alwost two miles distant, is a Baronet, and ’ proprietor of property that produced an | annual income of about two thousand |i pounds, near that which I have bought. He has two sons and five young daughters, | 1 all of fine fignre, who live on tho estate of | Goodwin, with their mother and an old | f aunt, sister to Six Thomas. 1 | over thirty years, and in that interval he _| acquired a fortune capable, as he was usuâ€" ally boasting, of making a nabob happy ; in a word he brought back with him the :enounoul sum of tl.xirty thousand poum!{. ; and on this foundation he was raising hopes * ; of happiness without Lbounds. Whilst he f } was forming plans of enjoyment and granâ€" ; 'deur, whether the change of climate did > l not agreo with him, or whetner from any ether cavso I know not, he was carried | away from all his dreams of happiness by a short illness of which he died, leaving me heir to all his fortune. Now, see me at the ageo of twontyâ€"five | years, well grounded in Latin, Greck and ; mathematics, possessor of an ample fortune : but so awkward and such a novice in all | | usages of good society, that those who know | me do not call me otherwise than "‘the L rich and learned clown." 1 on to Dance‘ i But alas! how ehall I relate what Sollowâ€" ith astonishâ€" !ed ? whoether the butler was accidentally t hectaught, i mistaken, or whether he formed the project has Leen of | by malice to make a fool of me, I know not to keep my but certain if is that he gave me a glass of y centre of the strongest brandy of which I filled my ‘ *‘ fmouth, already flayed and blistered.

Lee, who was foreman of the mil!, was engaged in fixing the guides of une of the circular saws,and by some nieans he fell against it. The maching was ranning at full speed and his neek on: touching the saw, was gradually drawn along and, beâ€" fore, the saw could be stopped, the poor fellow‘s head was sawn off. : It fell on one side of the bench, fflling those presenkwith horror. .

The Baronet himself could not re« sist that trial, and shared with his wife" in tle general hilarity, although I sprang from the table in a transport of despair. I rushed out ‘of the house and ran homne with as much trouble and agitation as if I had been ‘pursited by the: remorse of some crime. In order‘to deliver mysolf from the inâ€" supportable state of perspiration into which that accident had put me, without thinking what I was dotng, T wiped my face with my illâ€"fated handkerchief, which was still all ing what I did I carried to my mouth the 'panflné as hot‘as a burning coal ; it was imporsible for me to eoncerl my agony‘; ’und my eyes started out of their sockets. At last, in spite of my shanae and my resoâ€" Antions, 1 was constrained to let the instruâ€" ment of my torture fall on my plate. Sir Thomas and the Indies had compassion on my misfortune. Each counselled a differâ€" ent specifie; one recommended oil, and another water, but all concluded that wine was the best to settle the inflamation. So they brought from the sideboard a glass of | Madeira. | ‘| _ Singe the fall of the wooden Xenophen, my face had been continually burning like ‘|a coal; I was just cotamencing to regain | my spirits, and to foel a consoling coolness, ) when an unlookod for accident reâ€"kindled {all the firo and" the redness of my face. *Having put my plate too near the edge of Iflu table, id bowing to Miss Diuah, who politely compliumouted me on the pattern ' of my waisteoat, L let all the: boiling soup fall on my knees.

The evidence of the plaintiff was supportâ€" ed by that of another map, who testified that he bad heard the plaintiff‘s brother say before the assignment was made that if he got the note he would collect and keep the proceeis; and he did not think it would be any sin for him to do so, because if the plaintiff got the money he would â€" fool it From the Globe. it Owex Soukp, Aoril 15.â€"Patterson v. is Patterson, a case with which the Assize it Court now in session here before Judge _ | Armour was yesterday occupied up to a ; late hour in the evening, was an action 6 brought by one brother against another ; | brother and the latter‘s wife for the amount l' cfa note assigned by the plaintiff to his ): sisterâ€"inâ€"law for the purpose, as he alleges, p of thus securing to him the proceeds of it, ¢ together with the interest on the sameâ€"the _ | whole amounting to $825. According to ? the story told by the plaintiff, the note in i- question was one of a number which he had | received in payment for a farm that he had § sold in 1875. ‘The amount of it was someâ€" r thing over $700, on which interest was | payable at 6 per cent.
