" Well Arthur, what next I" said a grave look¬ ing young man of tweniy-five, to nis frienti- " What next ; upon my word I cannoi ans¬ wer, released from my last iiiidcriakii.g- One must he ofT with the old love before they are on with ihc new, you know." *' It appears to mc," said-^Uram Snow, "that you had heiter remain where you are till limea improve a little. I do not make enough lo pay my board, yei ii is hciicr lo remain than lo do worse." "I suppose you are right," said Arthur; "but 1 see no difibrenee between your career and mine .is ii respects money aflaira, excepting thai ¦yon have a ihousand dollara at inicrcsl, and I have a iliousand dollara tn odds and ends. Yes, there is a difference, Snow, for when business is bn:?k again you will get a good salnry, for the world considers you as a prudent, aleady fellow, and an excellent book-keeper, while I shall think myeclf fortunale in being sent lo thc Wesi Indies aa supercargo. Arthur Hazarellc was left an orplian when quite young, and his little patrimony was jusi sufficieni lo et3ucate nnd support him till he «a5 fourteen yeara of age. From that lime until his twenty-fifth year he had clianaed from one oc¬ cupation to anoiher, sometimes twice in a year and it could not be said lhat he had a particular talent for any branch of Iiusiucss. lie ceriairiiy was ambitious, add he escncd liinisclf lo the utmost for every employer, he was with ; but though useful and exemplary in his conduct,yei some unforsccn event sent him adrift. It was impoasible altnost to count up ihc number ol places he filled during the ten years before our liulo story commences, tlie last one was about as promising as any in wliich he had been en gaged, bui in one week from ihc time he had this convcrjaiiou with Abram Snow, the auction¬ eer witli whom he was engaged took it into his head to die, and even the ihousand do'Iars worth of odds and ends died with him. Poor Arthur ! after paying his week's board and his washerwoman lie had not more than a dol¬ lar in his pocket, and he was honest enough to tell this to hia landladj. Women are tender hearted, and Mrs. May was as weak OS ihe rest ofherse.\; so she pitied Arthur, and talked over her feelinga before one of lier boardera, a surly, ugly old man, who never opened his lips withoui finding fault, and who waa always watching Arthur from the cor¬ ner of his eye. " Good enough for htm—belter than he de- aerves, Mrs. May," said Mr. Crosbie, " a rol¬ ling stone gathers no moas ; why, the wealth of the Indies would not stick losuch asquib—here, there and everywhere To my knowledge he has changed places twice or tlince a year ever since he was fourteen years old." "That may nil be iriie, Mr. Crosbie; hut Irom wliut I know of him it %vas none of his lauii. I am quite unhappy about him, for I know very well limt he will not stay one mo¬ ment ill niy house unless he can gel money enough 10 pay his board" 4Mr. Crosbie made no answer but—" humph " —and left the room. He was a man apparently well advanced iu years, ugly in lace, and all over out of joint, he meddled with no man's business, and in return, prevented others from inierlering wiih hia. But of all the cye->, thai were ever net in mortal head, his were the ino.sl keen and piercing—he seemed to read the bot¬ tom of your soul at a glance. Ashe left the rootn he met Arthur Ilazerelle with a small traveling trunk in hia hand, and on Mrs. May cominii out, he shook hands with her chtfcrfully. and wished her a good morning.— Ilo had ofien felt uneasy before the searching expression of .Mr. Croebie's eye, and it made him actually shudder at this momeni- He seemed to have lust the power of wi:l. " Which way are you bound ?" said the old gcniicinan, li.xing his eye still more firmly on Arthur's face. " If you are going to Berrydale, back of ihe granite hills, here is a letter for you." Arthur stared at him not only with astonish¬ ment but dismay, for he had but the moment before decided on going there, and had not com- municaicd his intention to any one. "If you are going, say so," growled out the man, "for the cars start at rune, and you have no lime to lose." Arthur mechanically took the letter, put ti in hie pocket, and raising his hat, walked oui of the house, feeling certain that Mr. Crosbie was starini,'at him from thc street door, Mrs. ^lay from thc green blinds in the parlor, and ihc scr vaiits from the basement window. On his way he stopped to say good-bye lo Abram Snow, who was hard at work ai his desk. He was not at all surprised at the flitiing, but there was one excellent trait in his character, he never intruded his advice upon any one. He wrote down Iiis friend's address—Berrydale— and thrusting a cigar in Arthur's hand, they parted. "The cur.*," thought Arthur, "no cars for me, I must walk ihe whole distance, for a dol¬ lar will not pay the fare even." So he stepped lightly along, no way discouraged, for he never yet had left a place—or rather, a place never left him wilhout his having the prospect of an¬ other. He had not gone more ihan two miles before he was overtaken by a singular looking man, dressed in a brown linen frock coat and pantaloons, wilh a brown cap, a brown umbrella and a brown carpet-bag. He wore spectacles, and a remarkably long nose and chin, and when he came up with Arthur begged him not walk flo fast. Arihur turned hastily to see who had accosted him BO unceremoniously, and the man smiled. It was a pleasant .'smile certainly, but did not ac¬ cord with the peculiar style of hia face, at any rate Arthur tuok no notice of him, and walked on. " Why did you not put your irunk in the cars," said the man, " yuu would walk much more to your satisfaction if you were not ao weighed dow,i—here, give me one end of it,andletus irudge on together ; iny carpei-bag is not heavy enough to incommode me." ^0 faying, ho caught up one end of Arthur's trunk and on tlicy went together: llie stranger wliisilitig carelessly, and the young man very much surprised, and somewhat amused at the t'ddnesaofthesiranger'smannerand appearance. " It i^ very kind in you," said Arihur, laugh- iiig out loud, " but my little trunk ia not heavy, ua you perceive ; 1 dare .-^ay yonr carpet-bag is ol twice the woi<.!,|."' "Four times," taid ihc man, "but I am more used to Larry heavy-|iareei.-^ ihan you are. How lar are y-m going?" Arthur luld liini, and then thoy fell into the common chat of sirrm(fr.r- .,11 t_ J J -11 s'rniigcr.-,, and thus they pro- ceeded till two o'clock, when bolh. weary enough, emered a M.iall laveru to real and take a luncheon^ 1 hey had exchanged names on the road, and Arthur found tha, his new acquaint¬ ance was called Gallon Springlo, and that he was a schoolmaster on hia way to a small school now vacant near DnVilctowu. As this place lay in Arthur's route, and ihe man was not of. reckoning paid, they proceeded on their journey lill evening, when they rested again, but this time it was on a bench near the tavern door. "If we rest awhile," b&A Springle, "wc flhall he fresh enough to reach Drizzlelgwn by ten o'clock, and you can then share my room or have one to yourself if you like. There is a very decent tavern there and ihe charges are very moderate, .so lei us remain together for ihe night, at !east." Jn half an hour ihey took up their baggage and went on, ihough poor Arthur began 10 fag, for he waa unaccustomed to such severe exercise, wherr.is Springle seemed aa light ot foot as when they firal met- By ten, however, they reached Drizzleiown, and as the moon waa at the full, Arihur saw a few scattered houses, without any atiempt at regularity as it respect¬ ed their position, and no appearance of a street at alt. Arthur saw thai Springle waa as much a atran- ger to the host of the Utile inn aa he waa him¬ self, .CO he presumed that this was his firsi viali tothe place, and yet the man knew the road so well, and spoke of the people residing tliere in so particular a manner, that he could not sup pose this vraa his first visit. A bowl of bread and milk con^tiiured iheir supper, and as Ar¬ thur preferred a room to himself, they were shown to scjiarate chambers and retired for the nigh I. The young man slept soundly lill eight o'clock, and when called to breakfast saw lhat he was alone He waa t.ild that his companion had left the house at daylight, leaving his car¬ pet-bog and a letter. The tavern keeper said that in lounging about the door bo liad seen an acqii:iintance and had.gone ofi'with him. After breakfast ihe letter was brought, and to his sur¬ prise it was directed to himself, it ran thus— ".'\n unforseen circumstance haa occurred which obliges mc to return to the cily whence I cauic, and as I have plenty of clothing there, 1 njakc you a present of the carpet-bag and itn coniciiis. 00 not pari with the bag, however, let your necessities be ever so great, as I value it very highly, ihough I pari with it lo you.— When you arcaeitled to your liking, leave your address in thia house, and thc man, Mr. Somers will forward it to mc. Yours, Galton Sfkungle." "Do you know this man, thia Gallon Sprin¬ gle .'" said Arthurtothe landlord, "He is a airang^jr to me, and yet he makes me a present of thia bag and all that it contains." The landlord did not know him, had never seen him before, and thought him the ugliest hound lhat tver lived—evidently envious of Arthur's good luck, and tormenting himself with the probability of his poascseing the bag himself had he known that the owner wae not lo return. There wag still ten miles to walk before -Ar¬ thur could reach Berrydale, and what waa worse, the road wound round a mountain, so ihat there waa an accent of three miles before he could reach the railroad that ran through the village to which he was going. Being now encumber¬ ed with more baggage, and having money enough to indulge himself, he hired a wagon to take him to Berrydale, where he arrived just as the dinner was smoking on the table of a small inn. Mr. Green, the landlord, knew Arihur, and of course gave him a landlord's welcome. In a few minutes, after washing the dust from his face and hands, he was seated at the table wilh his host and family, and two strangers. " And whal brought you here Mr. Ha^er- elle r' aaid the landlord, good humoredly, "I hope whatever it ia, you are to stay some lime with us—I presume you are on a shooting frol¬ ic." " My stay depends upon yourself and your neighbors, Mr. Green, I see by the papers that you are in waul of a teacher, and feeling my¬ self compeieni, I intend 10 offer myaelf as a can¬ didate." Thc landlord looked ai him with aatonieh- meni. " What! you, you a counlry schoolmas¬ ter I wliy limes have fallen heavily upon you I fear !—But really, if you are di.'jposed lo leach ; 1 will answer for it yoif shall have the prefer¬ ence." As liL- aaid rius, libs eye iieiitoa on uiic ol his guests, and there was auch an expreasion of malifiuiiy in thc man's face, that he started.— This man had only arrived a few minutea before Arthur, He came, with two heavy uncouth looking trunks, and two ugly looking dogs ; or¬ dered a bedroom for himself, a kennel for his doga, and then took his seat at the table. " I intend to offer myself aa a candidate too," said ihis man to Arthur, "so we start fair youns man ; I will .set my acquirements and recommendations against yours, and then wail the issue." "If it depends upon letters of recommenda¬ tion." said Arthur, "you will surely succeed, for I did not bring one, aiU lam but slightly known to my good friend here." 'J'Jic landlord turned and winked slyly at his wife, for the idea of such a gnarled, old hickory knot, as this man, with hta spiteful eye and face, pretending 10 compete with Arihur was too ri- diculona. Mr. Green waa a landholder, aud a jtistirc of thc peace, he was in high request as a poliiician,had money nt inlerest, and had four children to educate When dinner was over, ihe stranger whose name was Godfricd Darg. drew near lo Arihur, and in a sort of snufiling voice, breaihing hard through thc nose beiween his sentence?, he " begged 10 bo.x the compass with him." Ar thur smiled, and said " he had no objection ; he might be questioned on any subject Which came within ihc reach of ihe adverlisement, and per¬ haps something further." So the rough man began to spout Latin. Arthur acquitted himself very well, and to thc satisfaction of the other stranger, who had taken dinner with ihem, and who now drew near also, to listen. There are very few peraona who would have indulged thia queer looking old fellow in this whim, but as we observed, Arthur was good- naiured, and being indifierent aboul the issue, he let the man draw out the liltle teaming he poasesGcd. Mr. Conway, the other stranger, had been in Franee, and understood thc lan¬ guage well, and in aahort lime he found ihat Arthur left his antagonist far behind in that lan¬ guage. Darg said nothing at the end ofthe French trial, bnt proceeded at once to the Ger¬ man : he waa foiled here 100, and so they went on from one branch to another, Mr. Conway deciding in hia own mind that tho young man waa an excellent scholar, and would suit his pur¬ pose exactly. Gndfried Darg having "boxed the compass" without tripping up his rival, now descended to th''minor points.—" Can you mend pens af quickly aa I can," said he, cutting up and njak- ing Iialf-a dozen pens in a shorter time than ev¬ er pena were made before. '• There you beat me over md over," said Arthur, " for I never made a decern pen in my life. I use ateel pens, or rather a gold pen alto- gethcr." " (an you teach ihe children to dance ?" said Darg :—" Here," aaid ho, geiu'ng up, and cut¬ ting two or three of the old fashioned pigeon wingi,—" can you do thia?" Arihur and all present laughed heartily, and thc young man acknowledged that he had the advantage there too, " for he did not icarh dan¬ cing." " Let him take the situation," said Conway, aa the old man left the room to feed his dogs, "Iain looking out fora teacher, and you are just the one to suit me. Here you will only get one hundred and fifty dollars a year, and very fenalve in his manners, our young friend waa plain board ; whereas, with me you shall have quite willing lhat they should proceed together, i^'rce hundred, and live upon the fut of the land." Ham and cgg3 and an apple pic made up Iheir j tJ* courEc, this offer was belter than the one dhner, and as this was soon provided and soonj Ariliur came lo eeck ; and he lold Mr. Conway he should talk the matter over with Mr. dispatched, they still lingered on the sofa, or ''^"^ Wooden settee rather, when Gallon Sprittgle pro¬ posed smoking. He had about a dozen cigars, in a box at the bottom of his bag, and ofiered one to Arthur, who refused, recollecting tliat his friend, Abram Snow, had given him one a\, parting—he took it from his pocket, but what was his surprise on opening tho little roll of Kiillbrown paper, to find inalead of a cigar, a rolcau often cent pieces I Gallon Springle looked at the opening of thia Utile paiier from the corner of liia eye andamil- cd to himeclf, for he saw that the contents wero unknown to the young man. He made no ob- aervation, however, but calling for a candle, lighted his^.-.gar and bcf-au 10 smoke. Ashe made no furiher offer of one to Arihur, the lat- icr pocke.ed 1,,., rolc.u .„d b.„cd back ajain.t ¦he wall .l>mIu„B over ,1,^ pa« and hoping bnghtly for .he future. There eould m, be more than three dollars, he thought, in the roll, but even this sum was a great deal for Snow :i/give,and it was oo delicately given that Ar¬ thur felt truly grateful, und promised thousands in return. When the cigar wos finished andthc ^recn, and then give him an answer. But IVIr. Green shook his liead ; he had no great opinion ol Conway, who was the principal of the gram¬ mar-school in Drizzleiown, and had about forty boys under his care. They knew little of him, and for h,s part, he said, he did not eare to kuow more. lie aJv.sed Arthur to tough it with them until something better ofrerod,and prom„ed to g.ve l„m board for a very moderate sum. This decided Arihur-for he longed for rest and case of mmd ; and if ho remained here, he flhould be with a man who fell a friendly inter¬ est in his welfare. The next morning at ten o'clock the iruslees ot the school were to meet' —and ihere were already nine candidates for so humble asituation. The good hearted landlord told Arthur not (o be cast down, for, according to bis judgment, the trustees would decide in hie favor unanimously. Hia only wonder was, that such an ill-lookiog fellow as Darg, though he might havo a pocket full of letters, should presume to expect an acceptance. One by one Ihe candidates were examined and one by one ihey departed. Godfried Datfq requested 10 be questioned lasi-and Arthur's torn now came. He could not help smiling as he saw ihe solemn pomposity ofthe committee, "Ot one of whom wero judges of the real merita of a candidate—and he felt lhat before them he had no chance. All at once he recollected the letter given to him by Mr. Crosbie; and step¬ ping up 10 ihe gentleman at the head of the ta¬ ble, whose name he learned was Barnes, asked if the letter waa for him. Mr. Barnes took the letter, nodded his head gravely, and opened il—he read it—passed it to his neiijhbor, wlio in his lurn read it—and so it went round the tal)le- When ihey had all fin¬ ished it, Mr. Barnes said, " I believe, gentle¬ men, I can anticipate your sentiments—and so, with your leave, I shall beg Mr. Ilazerelle to re- tire," " WHiai is there in thai leiier," said Arthur to Mr. Barnes, "which refuses me a hearing. J came here by the invitation of your advertisement; and as to thc letter which has given yon, as I perceive, an unfavorable opinion of mc, the writer has no more knowledga of me than I have of any gentleman here present —not so much in fact." " We are not bound to answer quslions, young gentleman," said Mr. Barnes ; "we nre sorry if you are disappointed, but you must leave us just now, as there is another person to examine, and our time is short." Arthur could not help laughing, in spite of his chagrin; nnd yet hia fingers tingled with a desire lobo-xtlie speaker's cars. He made his bow, however, and told hia kind friend,-Mr. Green, how cavalierly he had been used. Mr. Green was too much surprised to make a remark; and his wife observed, and with much anger, lhat old Crosbie ought to be tarred and feathered, for taking away thc character of an innocent mail. Arthur told them that he must get sight of the letter, for until he knew what had been alledged against him, he could not defend himself. And while they were yet speak¬ ing, Gudfrifd Darg entered whh his dogs, to say that he had been found worthy, and should enter on his duties the beginning of the week. He nodded impudently lo Arthur, and observed as he went to the kennels, that it was a pity the young gentleman had not been accepted, as he had too rauch learning lo starve for the want of employment. Martha Green, the landlord's daughter, whis¬ pered something in Iter father's ear, and he shook his head. She spoke lo her motV.er, who listened with moro complacency, for she beck¬ oned her husband out of the room. " I shall just say a few words to you, Mr Ilazerelle," said the landlord, aa he returned, "and they are this: there ia your room, and here ia your table ; and in my house you re¬ main unlil you can gel some employment. I did hope that what I said to those ninnies yon¬ der would have been sufficient lo satisfy them ; ua it is. however, they can employ this rough old fellow if they choose, but they shall have no child of mine—and that will worry them a liiile. After dinner, I shall propose something to you which I hope will suit you belter than to torment yourself with young children." At dinner, Godfried Darg conductad himself quietly and respectfully—the very reverse of his conduct before he was chosen schoolmaster, at which the little parly were surprised—for ihey expected he would be a perfect nuisance. Ele ate in silence, and as he finished, got up, look the bones from his own, and, in fact, from all the plates at the table, and went to the ken¬ nel to feed his doga—Howler and Barker, as he called them. " Few, come here, Mr. Hazerelle," said the landlord; "let us sit on this bench, and enjoy our cigars, while I tell of apian suggested by my daughter, Martha. Over yonder," poimingtoa forest aboul a mile disiani, " hidden from our sight though, is a fine old stone building—a per¬ fect castle it is—lives a fine old woman, proud as Lucifer though, who has a fine young girl un¬ der her care. This lady has a son, as proud as herself, who has continued single to this day— being well nigh to fifty yearsof age—because he could not find any one good and liigh enough for him. There the family iias lived for ihirty yeara. XV- „«nnnr mnkR Mr. Herm,^n -o»» exBctly, for he never comes frankly and cheerily amongst us; so wc have to guess a great deal—ond perhaps we sometimes guess wrong. At any rate, some people say that he wants to marry his mo:her's beautiful ward ; and some say ahe is his daughter —and so we go on and know nothing certain, but there they are, and there they will remain lill they die. Sometimes we sec Mr. Herman" —Arthur started—" every day for weeks togeth¬ er, and then he is absent for one, two and three monlhs at a time. Madam Herman, as the folks call her, has never been on this side of that for¬ est ; but that preity creature, Grace Gordon comes to our village church, and sometimes rides about the country on horseback, with Mr. Herman, or an old groom." " What sort ot a looking man is this Mr. Her¬ man ?" said Ariliur. " I once knew a gentle¬ man of tiiat name, and he interested mo exceed¬ ingly." " Oil! he could not have been our Mr. Her¬ man, for he is not an interesting man at all. His personal appearance is well enough, but the expression of his face ia unpleasing; and he ia so wrapt up in his own conceit, lhat he acorns to talk. I don't think he ever asked mo a qucs lion in his life, not even sucli questions as peo pie ask out of pure good fellowship—as what do you think of the weather, or how will the crops turn out T" " It cannot be the one I know," said Ailhur, " for he was quite a talker, and interested him¬ self in everything that was going on—but let me not interrupt you." " Well, this young lady. Miss Grace, wants to learn the German language and they have ad¬ vertised far ai.d near Ibr a teacher, one who would give two lessons a day, an hour each time, for six months. Now my daughter hinted ihat, as you were disappointed about the school, you might be more fortunate if you applied to Mad¬ am Herman." '•' I certainly ahould have no objection," said Arthur; " but I fear that they would require better references than I could give. You see lhat even my superiority over, Mr. Darg, was of no use." " Oh, you forget the letter; it was that which decided your fate—we must get hold of it some¬ how. But what I was going to observe is this ; you can write a note to Mr. Herman, and offer yourself aa a teacher of the German. You can but try—faint heart, the proverb says, never won fair lady ; and Grace Gordon ia worth the winning. You see, my young friend, that we have sprung over the fence to gel sight of a wedding before you have seen the bride." So Ihe kind hearted innkeeper and hia family talked the Utile plot over, and dropped a lew words of assurance now and then to Arthur, and when bed time came he had made up his mind thai he would make the atiempt, giving such references as were in hia power. He had been twice to Bcarydale on shooting excursions, and quile won the hearts of Mr. Green's family, the boya in particular, two of whom accompanied him each time—ihey were sworn friends, and were loud in their praises of his good nature in breaking ofThis sport to teach them some of the mysteries of the art. Mrs. Green knew Mrs. May, the lady with whom Arthur had boarded for several years, and of course she was well ac. quainted with every particular oi the young man's life. " If lie Jias changed and chopped about in out-door business," said Mra. May, " he has been constant to me, and when he is not lo be found at my house it ia because there is not mo¬ ney enough in his purse to pay hia board. How he lives till I see him again I cannot tell, but I ask no questions, and he asks no favors." Arthur looked around his peaceful, quiet little room, and at the gentle, harmonious prospect spread before his window, and thought how pleasant ii would be to live there forever. He was weary of change—no fault of his, poor fel¬ low—and thought that no ofiico would be bo- neath him, if there was a poastbiliiy of securing an humble retreat liko this. And yet Arihur was ambitious in the true sense of tho word. When iliey sat down to breakfast Mr. Darg waa not there. The hostler said he wliislled to his doga at break of day, and walked ofT with them towards the brook. * The horn was sound¬ ed and search made, but he cume not, and they [ ilnished their breakfast wilhout him. Mrs. Green told the girl to keep the coffee hot, as he would no doubt soon come in from his ramble, and she went up ataira to attend to her duties.— In a few minutes she returned, with a letter di¬ rected to Arihur. It had been found under the old man's pilbw, and ahe stood by while Ar- Sip.:—lam heartily tired of keeping school! ful of amilee and blushes, and her head bending,; A\7'IIiLIAlVI SHULER will be already, though I have not yet began, and so over a piece of embroidery. !

" i,,ig i, aa lingular an ad- venture as the one at Dri..letown," and he read out as follows: I consulted my doga this morning at break of day, and 1 am preiiy sure they thought the con. finement oflhe kennel quiet as unwholoBome aa I ahould leaching thick-headed boya in a forlorn, coiiifbrtleaa auhoolhouae.

Meantime, I ask your acceptance of iny shaving apparatus. It is rather too good for you, but as I heard you ask the inn keeper for a razor. I con¬ cluded tlie present would be acceptable If you ever get a chance I wish you would spit in the face of that solemn ass. Barnea, and call Mr. Herman a fool, for me, will you ? Yours till death, " Godfried Darg-" They laughed very heartily at this strange epis¬ tle, and one ofthe boys rushed up stairs tbr thc shaving box. Ir was indeed a beautiful affair, aud all the articles were of the finest quality; but what created great surprise was the contents of a note found on the top of a little steel box which fitted nicely in one oflhe divisions. The note ran thus : " Within the little steel box is the miniature of tbe lady you are to marry. This box you are not to open till you see my two doga, Howler and Barker, and then by consulting them you will find out the way to open tiie box, for it has a curious faaiening, and cannot be opened* but by their connivance unleaa it is broken, and if bro¬ ken, thc miniature will be deatroyed. I think you can tiepend on youraclf in this particular, but be sure to spit in Barnes' face, and if you could add a tweak of the nose and a kick, you would greatly oblige me. G. D." Of course ii was agreed on all sides lhat the lillle box should remain quietly untouched just where it now lay, but they made themselves very merry over ihe letter and note. Aa to np plying again for the achool not one ofthe family would listen to it, not even if Mr. Barnes came in person to make the offer *' No !" said Davip, the youngest boy ; " not if he were to fall down on his knees and beg you to go." Thia created a laugh again, and thia good- Iieartedneaa was very soothing to poor Arthur. Not one of the children would take the letter to Herman Hall, and the ostler was too shabby a looking fellow to be sent on such an errand lo so grand a place, so Martha's lover, Garry Lovel a young man who worked on Mr. Green's farm on shares, undertook to deliver it himself. There need not have been such confabulations on the subject, for Garry did not get farther than the porter's lodge, an awful gloomy look ing place, Garry said, and the porter was as awful looking and gloomy as the lodge. He was told that an anawer would be sent in the course of the day. and he therefore need not wait. "If I were you. Mister Arihur," said Garry, " I never would set fool in yon hall, for there is something wrong there. I can't believe that honest people would shut ihemselves up in that dull, musty sort of way. unless they had some¬ thing to conceal. You had better turn farmer. Here is a fine chance, fir neighbor Fielding wants to go Weat, and would rent hia farm t"or a trifle." " Do take it," said Mra. Green. "No," aaid Martha, blushing; "let liim take faiher'a farm on sharea, that wilt be eaajer, for I want Garry to take ihe next farm." Then there iras a merry ahoul of laughter, and the boys declared she was right, and that Arthur should atay with them, and they would plough and reap for him while he tinkered about, shot birds, and caught fish. Towards evening tlie anawer lo hi.q letter came ; he was requested to call at Herman Hall at ten o'clock the next day, and he might decide wliether the terms would suit him. .At ten o'clock lie was ni the porter's lodge, where tlte solemn looking personage who had ao awed Garry stood ready to receive him. A low, gardcp-chaifie^ wiih ujjair of hanilo-"»>- - - nies, was waiting lor liim. ;...,> which he sealed himself. Tbe ride was enchantment. No fairy dream could have conjured up the beauiiful scenery which opened to his view at every lurn ofthe ground. Arthur was lost in rapture, he forgot his humble circumstances and his slender fortunes, for his whole soul was filled with lofty thoughts; he seemed elevated lo the companion¬ ship of angels, and he gloried that he was a man after God's own image. "Angels," thought he, as the carriage moved slowly along, " could not feel happier, nor have purer emotions tlian I enjoy this moment. I have had the fear of God before me and have reverenced Him always, but here I love him—these are his glorious works.— Cities aro made by men." Arthur iiad lived in cities always, and his lit¬ tle excursions, hastily made, and very limited in duration, were for the. purpose of fishi-ig or shooting, and always with a dull companion, like Snow, who fished and shot in the same way lhat he kept books—pursuing the one act, the one thought which he proposed doing. Herman Hall had been in the poadcssion of tho family for more than a century ; it was orig¬ inally selected on account of/its beauty and fine prospects, and art had assisted nature In embel¬ lishing it. Arthur entered the mansion-house a far diflerent man than he wae an hour before.— A new sense—a new feeling had been given to him. His name was announced by the footman, and the man who received it passed it to another, who opened a parlor door, and then came for¬ ward to request him to walk in. With his mind filled wiih such a blaze of glory as that through which he had passed, the petty formali¬ ties of a common man, better in external gifts than liimself, seemed as nothing, so that when Mr. Herman waved his hand lo a chair, Arthur seated himaelf with as much ease as if he had been worth a million. "This is your letter, I preaume," said Mr. Herman. Arthur bowed. " You are competent lo teach the German language,"—anoiher bow, —'¦ and what are your terma-" Arthur smiled, for the truth is he never thought of terms, he concluded there was a set price, and lhat there would be no difficulty on that score. " You shall name your own terras, air," said he. "I have never taught, but I understand the meihod of teaching, and therefore leave the mi¬ nor consideration to you." " Wo shall say a dollar an hour, if thai sum suits you," said Mr. Herman, and Arthur was quite satisfied. He was to begin in the course of an hour, and until the young lady was ready, hi was requested to walk in the library A library ! A private library I Arihur had seen several of thom, and had been in the city, and in circulating libraries, but he never, even in works of history and fiction had read of any to equal the extent and magnificence of thia one This library occupied tho whole ground floor of a wing of what might be called a custle, and no book was beyond ihe reach of the hand. Tho roof or ceiling was supported by forty columns, the base of each being ten feel square, five feet high and filled with books. There was just space enough between each column for a person to pass with ease, and there were lounges and chairs scattered about in every direction. This curious library contained all lhat was valuable and rare, and not an author of note was omitted. One column was devoted to Shakspcare alono, «ilh every commentator from the earlier to the present time, and here, as if by instinct, Arthur seated himself. He waa soon hurled in the charms of the author's fancy, and when the ser¬ vant announced that tho ladies requeated lo see him, he had some difficulty to bring his thoughts down to a level with a dollar an hour. Alter walking through an inierminuhlo suite of apartments—all to impress him with the wealth and consequence of the owners, he was ushered into a small room, audi as ladies are fond ol caUing a. boudoir ; here sal two ladies, the younger of whom rose as he entered. " Pray bo sealed," said Madam Herman, wav¬ ing her hand in the same gracious manner as her son. " Sit here, and let me lequest you to ' listen to certain preliminaries before your duties. If you dia)ike them, we can part at once ?" " Oh, let the preliminaries suit yourself!" aaid Arthur, " and I shall make no objection, provided I may spend one hour a day, or even less, in that glorious library; why, madam, I shall never dream of remuneration, there is food and raiment, and every thing that can de¬ light the soul at the foot of one column alone— the one devoted to Shakspeare !" Mrs. Herman started al hira with perfect amazement. He heard a clear ringing laugh as if in the next room, and on glancing his eye to¬ ward tbe window,.there aat the young lady, brim- ble teacher of »he German language, for one dollar an hour. The preliminaries, young man," said the old lady, etifi^y, not regarding his rhapsody, or subsequent embarrassment—" aro lew, but must be complied with' strictly. Hearthemout with¬ out interruption, and then decide for yourself." At ten o'clock precisely you are to he in thi3 room 1 there ia your seat, and ihete is the lady whoisio recive instruction." Arihur rose, and bowed to this lady, who half rose aud blush¬ ed exceedingly. '* I shall remain in the room, and give notice when the hour expires. There is lo l>e no conversation excepting what relates to the language you are teaching, and when the hour is expired you can go to the library, or ride out, or amuse yourself on the grounds, till the servant announces to you that it is lime to dresa for dinner. You are to dine with us." Artliur did not like this part ot the arrangement, and sal uneasily in his cliair. ^' Go to your room as soon as the deseri is removed, and be your own master till five o'clock, when another liour of your lime will be required; I shall be in the room as before, and give you notice when the hour is up, and the family then sees you no more till ten ihe next day, excepting that this lady will preside at the breakfast and tea table You are to remain with us until tJie lady is sufliciemly grounded in the language to proceed in it iier- self, and you aro neither lo leave the place nor see any one till ihat time nrrives." The siinc clear laugh was heard in the next room, and with a glance of hia eye, he saw that the young lady held a handkerchief to her face. Arthur rose;— " I had no idea, madam, lhat I was to be the happy inmate of this paradise, but as it ia your pleasure, I agree to ihe terms, excepting that once a week I must have the privilege of seeing one or two of my liumblo Berrydale friends.— The porter's lodge can be our place of rendez¬ vous, and all that they shall ever hear from my lips is, that I am happy beyond my hopea. I think it is the desire to remain unknown to the people in the neighborhood, which gives rise to your request that I hold no communication wiih them,^' Mrs. Herman made no reply—ahe pointed to the lable where books, paper and pens lay, and began to "knit with dignified solemnity. He look his seat opposite lo the young lady, (wlioee name had not been mentioned by Mrs. Herman,) but driw his chair ao that his face was partly hidden, for he wanted to catch glimpses of his pupil's face, unseen by Mrs. Herman.— Ble look up the books, examined them, and ae- lecting one, began to read. The language must appear liaralt to you," said he, " but as soon as yon have acquired the pronunciation, you will like il exceetlingly. I was acquainted with a geniJeman who had a greai desire "— No, anecdotes,if you please, .Mr- Hazerelle," aaid .Mra. Herman. "Please to recollect."— Arthur really was ' struck all in a heap,' partic¬ ularly as lie again heard the laugh in the next room. The young lady pitied his conluai'Mi, but the laugh was irresistible, and shejoined in it.— What could Arihur do belter than to laugh alsot Instead of ordering Iiim to leave the houae as he expected, the old lady begged ihem to pro ceed, aa minutes made up hours." He got Ihrough the first lesson without fur iner remark, though the young lady could acarce¬ ly keep her countenance, and when the hour had e.xpired, Mrs. Herman rang a little table be ahd the servant who came in was requested to show Mr. Hazerelle his chamber. As soon as Arthur had Fhiit his room door, he threw himself on ihc eofa and laughed heartily, but what waa his amazemfnt when he heard the aame clear ringing laugh aa before " I'pon my word," thought he, "thia is a queer place. All solemn nonsense on one side —all puerile formality on the other—and harlc- quinism in the centre. Truly, I am curiously I .1 :.. -"-1 o.,., ojiircHy lumQ-ln,,""-"- ' among auch an odd sol. vvno can that merry laugher be? I certainly havo heard that clear bell voice Leiorc ! \Vhere can I have heard it .'"— "But the more he ihoughi," as the children say, "the more lie could nut tell;" so he htok- ed round his chamlicr, and there, to his surprise, waa hig trunk, his carpel bag, and hia drcs.qing case. Really this *s taking things for granied,; thought he ; why these ariiclcs must have been sent for tlie moment I entered the house ; tbcy thought I should be a fool to refuse compliance irli their terms, which, in fact, ihey might safely infer had I hesitated. Now our readers liiUiU not suppose that Ar¬ thur wus a sorry fellow, and willing to put up with insult. On the contrary, lie was high mind¬ ed and brave, and from an equal would receive no provocation. But he was forbearing to the weak and nervous; and in the present case, it would be absurd to resent eitlier the folly of Mrs. Herman, or the impertinence of the daugh¬ ter, even could he find him out. Besides, there was an air of mystery and cnclianinient around thc people and place, which was very captiva¬ ting to a young man- [CONCLODED NEXT WEEK.] Turnpike Roail. havo thla day ilorlarrd a Dividend of one dollar per Bhare.for tho last .nix monthii pnjHble oa (IttinanduL the office of - ROLAND DILLKU, Treasurer.

A KICH MAN'S WHIMS.
EY THE AUTHOE OF "FAN.VY AND FnAN'CtS."
" Well Arthur, what next I" said a grave look¬ ing young man of tweniy-five, to nis frienti-
" What next ; upon my word I cannoi ans¬ wer, released from my last iiiidcriakii.g- One must he ofT with the old love before they are on with ihc new, you know."
*' It appears to mc," said-^Uram Snow, "that you had heiter remain where you are till limea improve a little. I do not make enough lo pay my board, yei ii is hciicr lo remain than lo do worse."
"I suppose you are right," said Arthur; "but 1 see no difibrenee between your career and mine .is ii respects money aflaira, excepting thai ¦yon have a ihousand dollara at inicrcsl, and I have a iliousand dollara tn odds and ends. Yes, there is a difference, Snow, for when business is bn:?k again you will get a good salnry, for the world considers you as a prudent, aleady fellow, and an excellent book-keeper, while I shall think myeclf fortunale in being sent lo thc Wesi Indies aa supercargo.
Arthur Hazarellc was left an orplian when quite young, and his little patrimony was jusi sufficieni lo et3ucate nnd support him till he «a5 fourteen yeara of age. From that lime until his twenty-fifth year he had clianaed from one oc¬ cupation to anoiher, sometimes twice in a year and it could not be said lhat he had a particular talent for any branch of Iiusiucss. lie ceriairiiy was ambitious, add he escncd liinisclf lo the utmost for every employer, he was with ; but though useful and exemplary in his conduct,yei some unforsccn event sent him adrift. It was impoasible altnost to count up ihc number ol places he filled during the ten years before our liulo story commences, tlie last one was about as promising as any in wliich he had been en gaged, bui in one week from ihc time he had this convcrjaiiou with Abram Snow, the auction¬ eer witli whom he was engaged took it into his head to die, and even the ihousand do'Iars worth of odds and ends died with him.
Poor Arthur ! after paying his week's board and his washerwoman lie had not more than a dol¬ lar in his pocket, and he was honest enough to tell this to hia landladj.
Women are tender hearted, and Mrs. May was as weak OS ihe rest ofherse.\; so she pitied Arthur, and talked over her feelinga before one of lier boardera, a surly, ugly old man, who never opened his lips withoui finding fault, and who waa always watching Arthur from the cor¬ ner of his eye.
" Good enough for htm—belter than he de- aerves, Mrs. May," said Mr. Crosbie, " a rol¬ ling stone gathers no moas ; why, the wealth of the Indies would not stick losuch asquib—here, there and everywhere To my knowledge he has changed places twice or tlince a year ever since he was fourteen years old."
"That may nil be iriie, Mr. Crosbie; hut Irom wliut I know of him it %vas none of his lauii. I am quite unhappy about him, for I know very well limt he will not stay one mo¬ ment ill niy house unless he can gel money enough 10 pay his board"
4Mr. Crosbie made no answer but—" humph " —and left the room. He was a man apparently well advanced iu years, ugly in lace, and all over out of joint, he meddled with no man's business, and in return, prevented others from inierlering wiih hia. But of all the cye->, thai were ever net in mortal head, his were the ino.sl keen and piercing—he seemed to read the bot¬ tom of your soul at a glance.
Ashe left the rootn he met Arthur Ilazerelle with a small traveling trunk in hia hand, and on Mrs. May cominii out, he shook hands with her chtfcrfully. and wished her a good morning.— Ilo had ofien felt uneasy before the searching expression of .Mr. Croebie's eye, and it made him actually shudder at this momeni- He seemed to have lust the power of wi:l.
" Which way are you bound ?" said the old gcniicinan, li.xing his eye still more firmly on Arthur's face. " If you are going to Berrydale, back of ihe granite hills, here is a letter for you."
Arthur stared at him not only with astonish¬ ment but dismay, for he had but the moment before decided on going there, and had not com- municaicd his intention to any one.
"If you are going, say so," growled out the man, "for the cars start at rune, and you have no lime to lose."
Arthur mechanically took the letter, put ti in hie pocket, and raising his hat, walked oui of the house, feeling certain that Mr. Crosbie was starini,'at him from thc street door, Mrs. ^lay from thc green blinds in the parlor, and ihc scr vaiits from the basement window.
On his way he stopped to say good-bye lo Abram Snow, who was hard at work ai his desk. He was not at all surprised at the flitiing, but there was one excellent trait in his character, he never intruded his advice upon any one. He wrote down Iiis friend's address—Berrydale— and thrusting a cigar in Arthur's hand, they parted.
"The cur.*," thought Arthur, "no cars for me, I must walk ihe whole distance, for a dol¬ lar will not pay the fare even." So he stepped lightly along, no way discouraged, for he never yet had left a place—or rather, a place never left him wilhout his having the prospect of an¬ other. He had not gone more ihan two miles before he was overtaken by a singular looking man, dressed in a brown linen frock coat and pantaloons, wilh a brown cap, a brown umbrella and a brown carpet-bag. He wore spectacles, and a remarkably long nose and chin, and when he came up with Arthur begged him not walk flo fast.
Arihur turned hastily to see who had accosted him BO unceremoniously, and the man smiled. It was a pleasant .'smile certainly, but did not ac¬ cord with the peculiar style of hia face, at any rate Arthur tuok no notice of him, and walked on.
" Why did you not put your irunk in the cars," said the man, " yuu would walk much more to your satisfaction if you were not ao weighed dow,i—here, give me one end of it,andletus irudge on together ; iny carpei-bag is not heavy enough to incommode me."
^0 faying, ho caught up one end of Arthur's trunk and on tlicy went together: llie stranger wliisilitig carelessly, and the young man very much surprised, and somewhat amused at the t'ddnesaofthesiranger'smannerand appearance. " It i^ very kind in you," said Arihur, laugh-
iiig out loud, " but my little trunk ia not heavy,
ua you perceive ; 1 dare .-^ay yonr carpet-bag is ol
twice the woi<.!,|."'
"Four times," taid ihc man, "but I am
more used to Larry heavy-|iareei.-^ ihan you are.
How lar are y-m going?"
Arthur luld liini, and then thoy fell into the
common chat of sirrm(fr.r- .,11 t_
J J -11 s'rniigcr.-,, and thus they pro-
ceeded till two o'clock, when bolh. weary
enough, emered a M.iall laveru to real and take
a luncheon^ 1 hey had exchanged names on the
road, and Arthur found tha, his new acquaint¬ ance was called Gallon Springlo, and that he
was a schoolmaster on hia
way to a small school
now vacant near DnVilctowu. As this place lay in Arthur's route, and ihe man was not of.
reckoning paid, they proceeded on their journey lill evening, when they rested again, but this time it was on a bench near the tavern door. "If we rest awhile," b&A Springle, "wc flhall he fresh enough to reach Drizzlelgwn by ten o'clock, and you can then share my room or have one to yourself if you like. There is a very decent tavern there and ihe charges are very moderate, .so lei us remain together for ihe night, at !east."
Jn half an hour ihey took up their baggage and went on, ihough poor Arthur began 10 fag, for he waa unaccustomed to such severe exercise, wherr.is Springle seemed aa light ot foot as when they firal met- By ten, however, they reached Drizzleiown, and as the moon waa at the full, Arihur saw a few scattered houses, without any atiempt at regularity as it respect¬ ed their position, and no appearance of a street at alt.
Arthur saw thai Springle waa as much a atran- ger to the host of the Utile inn aa he waa him¬ self, .CO he presumed that this was his firsi viali tothe place, and yet the man knew the road so well, and spoke of the people residing tliere in so particular a manner, that he could not sup pose this vraa his first visit. A bowl of bread and milk con^tiiured iheir supper, and as Ar¬ thur preferred a room to himself, they were shown to scjiarate chambers and retired for the nigh I.
The young man slept soundly lill eight o'clock, and when called to breakfast saw lhat he was alone He waa t.ild that his companion had left the house at daylight, leaving his car¬ pet-bog and a letter. The tavern keeper said that in lounging about the door bo liad seen an acqii:iintance and had.gone ofi'with him. After breakfast ihe letter was brought, and to his sur¬ prise it was directed to himself, it ran thus—
".'\n unforseen circumstance haa occurred which obliges mc to return to the cily whence I cauic, and as I have plenty of clothing there, 1 njakc you a present of the carpet-bag and itn coniciiis. 00 not pari with the bag, however, let your necessities be ever so great, as I value it very highly, ihough I pari with it lo you.— When you arcaeitled to your liking, leave your address in thia house, and thc man, Mr. Somers will forward it to mc. Yours, Galton Sfkungle."
"Do you know this man, thia Gallon Sprin¬ gle .'" said Arthurtothe landlord, "He is a airang^jr to me, and yet he makes me a present of thia bag and all that it contains."
The landlord did not know him, had never seen him before, and thought him the ugliest hound lhat tver lived—evidently envious of Arthur's good luck, and tormenting himself with the probability of his poascseing the bag himself had he known that the owner wae not lo return. There wag still ten miles to walk before -Ar¬ thur could reach Berrydale, and what waa worse, the road wound round a mountain, so ihat there waa an accent of three miles before he could reach the railroad that ran through the village to which he was going. Being now encumber¬ ed with more baggage, and having money enough to indulge himself, he hired a wagon to take him to Berrydale, where he arrived just as the dinner was smoking on the table of a small inn.
Mr. Green, the landlord, knew Arihur, and of course gave him a landlord's welcome. In a few minutes, after washing the dust from his face and hands, he was seated at the table wilh his host and family, and two strangers.
" And whal brought you here Mr. Ha^er- elle r' aaid the landlord, good humoredly, "I hope whatever it ia, you are to stay some lime with us—I presume you are on a shooting frol¬ ic."
" My stay depends upon yourself and your neighbors, Mr. Green, I see by the papers that you are in waul of a teacher, and feeling my¬ self compeieni, I intend 10 offer myaelf as a can¬ didate."
Thc landlord looked ai him with aatonieh- meni. " What! you, you a counlry schoolmas¬ ter I wliy limes have fallen heavily upon you I fear !—But really, if you are di.'jposed lo leach ; 1 will answer for it yoif shall have the prefer¬ ence."
As liL- aaid rius, libs eye iieiitoa on uiic ol his guests, and there was auch an expreasion of malifiuiiy in thc man's face, that he started.— This man had only arrived a few minutea before Arthur, He came, with two heavy uncouth looking trunks, and two ugly looking dogs ; or¬ dered a bedroom for himself, a kennel for his doga, and then took his seat at the table.
" I intend to offer myself aa a candidate too," said ihis man to Arthur, "so we start fair youns man ; I will .set my acquirements and recommendations against yours, and then wail the issue."
"If it depends upon letters of recommenda¬ tion." said Arthur, "you will surely succeed, for I did not bring one, aiU lam but slightly known to my good friend here."
'J'Jic landlord turned and winked slyly at his wife, for the idea of such a gnarled, old hickory knot, as this man, with hta spiteful eye and face, pretending 10 compete with Arihur was too ri- diculona. Mr. Green waa a landholder, aud a jtistirc of thc peace, he was in high request as a poliiician,had money nt inlerest, and had four children to educate
When dinner was over, ihe stranger whose name was Godfricd Darg. drew near lo Arihur, and in a sort of snufiling voice, breaihing hard through thc nose beiween his sentence?, he " begged 10 bo.x the compass with him." Ar thur smiled, and said " he had no objection ; he might be questioned on any subject Which came within ihc reach of ihe adverlisement, and per¬ haps something further." So the rough man began to spout Latin. Arthur acquitted himself very well, and to thc satisfaction of the other stranger, who had taken dinner with ihem, and who now drew near also, to listen.
There are very few peraona who would have indulged thia queer looking old fellow in this whim, but as we observed, Arthur was good- naiured, and being indifierent aboul the issue, he let the man draw out the liltle teaming he poasesGcd. Mr. Conway, the other stranger, had been in Franee, and understood thc lan¬ guage well, and in aahort lime he found ihat Arthur left his antagonist far behind in that lan¬ guage. Darg said nothing at the end ofthe French trial, bnt proceeded at once to the Ger¬ man : he waa foiled here 100, and so they went on from one branch to another, Mr. Conway deciding in hia own mind that tho young man waa an excellent scholar, and would suit his pur¬ pose exactly.
Gndfried Darg having "boxed the compass" without tripping up his rival, now descended to th''minor points.—" Can you mend pens af quickly aa I can," said he, cutting up and njak- ing Iialf-a dozen pens in a shorter time than ev¬ er pena were made before.
'• There you beat me over md over," said Arthur, " for I never made a decern pen in my life. I use ateel pens, or rather a gold pen alto- gethcr."
" (an you teach ihe children to dance ?" said Darg :—" Here," aaid ho, geiu'ng up, and cut¬ ting two or three of the old fashioned pigeon wingi,—" can you do thia?"
Arihur and all present laughed heartily, and thc young man acknowledged that he had the advantage there too, " for he did not icarh dan¬ cing."
" Let him take the situation," said Conway, aa the old man left the room to feed his dogs, "Iain looking out fora teacher, and you are just the one to suit me. Here you will only get one hundred and fifty dollars a year, and very
fenalve in his manners, our young friend waa plain board ; whereas, with me you shall have quite willing lhat they should proceed together, i^'rce hundred, and live upon the fut of the land." Ham and cgg3 and an apple pic made up Iheir j tJ* courEc, this offer was belter than the one dhner, and as this was soon provided and soonj Ariliur came lo eeck ; and he lold Mr. Conway
he should talk the matter over with Mr.
dispatched, they still lingered on the sofa, or ''^"^
Wooden settee rather, when Gallon Sprittgle pro¬ posed smoking. He had about a dozen cigars, in a box at the bottom of his bag, and ofiered one to Arthur, who refused, recollecting tliat his friend, Abram Snow, had given him one a\, parting—he took it from his pocket, but what was his surprise on opening tho little roll of Kiillbrown paper, to find inalead of a cigar, a rolcau often cent pieces I
Gallon Springle looked at the opening of thia Utile paiier from the corner of liia eye andamil- cd to himeclf, for he saw that the contents wero unknown to the young man. He made no ob- aervation, however, but calling for a candle, lighted his^.-.gar and bcf-au 10 smoke. Ashe
made no furiher offer of
one to Arihur, the lat-
icr pocke.ed 1,,., rolc.u .„d b.„cd back ajain.t ¦he wall .l>mIu„B over ,1,^ pa« and hoping bnghtly for .he future. There eould m, be more than three dollars, he thought, in the roll, but even this sum was a great deal for Snow :i/give,and it was oo delicately given that Ar¬ thur felt truly grateful, und promised thousands in return. When the cigar wos finished andthc
^recn, and then give him an answer. But IVIr. Green shook his liead ; he had no great opinion ol Conway, who was the principal of the gram¬ mar-school in Drizzleiown, and had about forty boys under his care. They knew little of him, and for h,s part, he said, he did not eare to kuow more. lie aJv.sed Arthur to tough it with them until something better ofrerod,and prom„ed to g.ve l„m board for a very moderate sum.
This decided Arihur-for he longed for rest and case of mmd ; and if ho remained here, he flhould be with a man who fell a friendly inter¬ est in his welfare. The next morning at ten o'clock the iruslees ot the school were to meet' —and ihere were already nine candidates for so humble asituation. The good hearted landlord told Arthur not (o be cast down, for, according to bis judgment, the trustees would decide in hie favor unanimously. Hia only wonder was, that such an ill-lookiog fellow as Darg, though he might havo a pocket full of letters, should presume to expect an acceptance.
One by one Ihe candidates were examined
and one by one ihey departed. Godfried Datfq requested 10 be questioned lasi-and Arthur's torn now came. He could not help smiling as he saw ihe solemn pomposity ofthe committee, "Ot one of whom wero judges of the real merita of a candidate—and he felt lhat before them he had no chance. All at once he recollected the letter given to him by Mr. Crosbie; and step¬ ping up 10 ihe gentleman at the head of the ta¬ ble, whose name he learned was Barnes, asked if the letter waa for him.
Mr. Barnes took the letter, nodded his head gravely, and opened il—he read it—passed it to his neiijhbor, wlio in his lurn read it—and so it went round the tal)le- When ihey had all fin¬ ished it, Mr. Barnes said, " I believe, gentle¬ men, I can anticipate your sentiments—and so, with your leave, I shall beg Mr. Ilazerelle to re- tire," " WHiai is there in thai leiier," said Arthur to Mr. Barnes, "which refuses me a hearing. J came here by the invitation of your advertisement; and as to thc letter which has given yon, as I perceive, an unfavorable opinion of mc, the writer has no more knowledga of me than I have of any gentleman here present —not so much in fact."
" We are not bound to answer quslions, young gentleman," said Mr. Barnes ; "we nre sorry if you are disappointed, but you must leave us just now, as there is another person to examine, and our time is short."
Arthur could not help laughing, in spite of his chagrin; nnd yet hia fingers tingled with a desire lobo-xtlie speaker's cars. He made his bow, however, and told hia kind friend,-Mr. Green, how cavalierly he had been used. Mr. Green was too much surprised to make a remark; and his wife observed, and with much anger, lhat old Crosbie ought to be tarred and feathered, for taking away thc character of an innocent mail. Arthur told them that he must get sight of the letter, for until he knew what had been alledged against him, he could not defend himself. And while they were yet speak¬ ing, Gudfrifd Darg entered whh his dogs, to say that he had been found worthy, and should enter on his duties the beginning of the week. He nodded impudently lo Arthur, and observed as he went to the kennels, that it was a pity the young gentleman had not been accepted, as he had too rauch learning lo starve for the want of employment.
Martha Green, the landlord's daughter, whis¬ pered something in Iter father's ear, and he shook his head. She spoke lo her motV.er, who listened with moro complacency, for she beck¬ oned her husband out of the room.
" I shall just say a few words to you, Mr Ilazerelle," said the landlord, aa he returned, "and they are this: there ia your room, and here ia your table ; and in my house you re¬ main unlil you can gel some employment. I did hope that what I said to those ninnies yon¬ der would have been sufficient lo satisfy them ; ua it is. however, they can employ this rough old fellow if they choose, but they shall have no child of mine—and that will worry them a liiile. After dinner, I shall propose something to you which I hope will suit you belter than to torment yourself with young children."
At dinner, Godfried Darg conductad himself quietly and respectfully—the very reverse of his conduct before he was chosen schoolmaster, at which the little parly were surprised—for ihey expected he would be a perfect nuisance. Ele ate in silence, and as he finished, got up, look the bones from his own, and, in fact, from all the plates at the table, and went to the ken¬ nel to feed his doga—Howler and Barker, as he called them.
" Few, come here, Mr. Hazerelle," said the landlord; "let us sit on this bench, and enjoy our cigars, while I tell of apian suggested by my daughter, Martha. Over yonder," poimingtoa forest aboul a mile disiani, " hidden from our sight though, is a fine old stone building—a per¬ fect castle it is—lives a fine old woman, proud as Lucifer though, who has a fine young girl un¬ der her care. This lady has a son, as proud as herself, who has continued single to this day— being well nigh to fifty yearsof age—because he could not find any one good and liigh enough for him. There the family iias lived for ihirty yeara. XV- „«nnnr mnkR Mr. Herm,^n -o»» exBctly, for he never comes frankly and cheerily amongst us; so wc have to guess a great deal—ond perhaps we sometimes guess wrong. At any rate, some people say that he wants to marry his mo:her's beautiful ward ; and some say ahe is his daughter —and so we go on and know nothing certain, but there they are, and there they will remain lill they die. Sometimes we sec Mr. Herman" —Arthur started—" every day for weeks togeth¬ er, and then he is absent for one, two and three monlhs at a time. Madam Herman, as the folks call her, has never been on this side of that for¬ est ; but that preity creature, Grace Gordon comes to our village church, and sometimes rides about the country on horseback, with Mr. Herman, or an old groom."
" What sort ot a looking man is this Mr. Her¬ man ?" said Ariliur. " I once knew a gentle¬ man of tiiat name, and he interested mo exceed¬ ingly."
" Oil! he could not have been our Mr. Her¬ man, for he is not an interesting man at all. His personal appearance is well enough, but the expression of his face ia unpleasing; and he ia so wrapt up in his own conceit, lhat he acorns to talk. I don't think he ever asked mo a qucs lion in his life, not even sucli questions as peo pie ask out of pure good fellowship—as what do you think of the weather, or how will the crops turn out T"
" It cannot be the one I know," said Ailhur, " for he was quite a talker, and interested him¬ self in everything that was going on—but let me not interrupt you."
" Well, this young lady. Miss Grace, wants to learn the German language and they have ad¬ vertised far ai.d near Ibr a teacher, one who would give two lessons a day, an hour each time, for six months. Now my daughter hinted ihat, as you were disappointed about the school, you might be more fortunate if you applied to Mad¬ am Herman."
'•' I certainly ahould have no objection," said Arthur; " but I fear that they would require better references than I could give. You see lhat even my superiority over, Mr. Darg, was of no use."
" Oh, you forget the letter; it was that which decided your fate—we must get hold of it some¬ how. But what I was going to observe is this ; you can write a note to Mr. Herman, and offer yourself aa a teacher of the German. You can but try—faint heart, the proverb says, never won fair lady ; and Grace Gordon ia worth the winning. You see, my young friend, that we have sprung over the fence to gel sight of a wedding before you have seen the bride."
So Ihe kind hearted innkeeper and hia family talked the Utile plot over, and dropped a lew words of assurance now and then to Arthur, and when bed time came he had made up his mind thai he would make the atiempt, giving such references as were in hia power. He had been twice to Bcarydale on shooting excursions, and quile won the hearts of Mr. Green's family, the boya in particular, two of whom accompanied him each time—ihey were sworn friends, and were loud in their praises of his good nature in breaking ofThis sport to teach them some of the mysteries of the art. Mrs. Green knew Mrs. May, the lady with whom Arthur had boarded for several years, and of course she was well ac. quainted with every particular oi the young man's life.
" If lie Jias changed and chopped about in out-door business," said Mra. May, " he has been constant to me, and when he is not lo be found at my house it ia because there is not mo¬ ney enough in his purse to pay hia board. How he lives till I see him again I cannot tell, but I ask no questions, and he asks no favors."
Arthur looked around his peaceful, quiet little room, and at the gentle, harmonious prospect spread before his window, and thought how pleasant ii would be to live there forever. He was weary of change—no fault of his, poor fel¬ low—and thought that no ofiico would be bo- neath him, if there was a poastbiliiy of securing an humble retreat liko this. And yet Arihur was ambitious in the true sense of tho word.
When iliey sat down to breakfast Mr. Darg waa not there. The hostler said he wliislled to his doga at break of day, and walked ofT with them towards the brook. * The horn was sound¬ ed and search made, but he cume not, and they [ ilnished their breakfast wilhout him. Mrs. Green told the girl to keep the coffee hot, as he would no doubt soon come in from his ramble, and she went up ataira to attend to her duties.— In a few minutes she returned, with a letter di¬ rected to Arihur. It had been found under the old man's pilbw, and ahe stood by while Ar-

thur read it,
"Well." said ho. " i,,ig i, aa lingular an ad- venture as the one at Dri..letown," and he read out as follows:
I consulted my doga this morning at break of day, and 1 am preiiy sure they thought the con. finement oflhe kennel quiet as unwholoBome aa I ahould leaching thick-headed boya in a forlorn, coiiifbrtleaa auhoolhouae. When you go to the city during vacation, you can hear of my where- abouia of Mrs. May, tor an old fellow living there, by the name of Crosbie, knows all my concerns. Meantime, I ask your acceptance of iny shaving apparatus. It is rather too good for you, but as I heard you ask the inn keeper for a razor. I con¬ cluded tlie present would be acceptable If you ever get a chance I wish you would spit in the face of that solemn ass. Barnea, and call Mr. Herman a fool, for me, will you ?
Yours till death, " Godfried Darg-"
They laughed very heartily at this strange epis¬ tle, and one ofthe boys rushed up stairs tbr thc shaving box. Ir was indeed a beautiful affair, aud all the articles were of the finest quality; but what created great surprise was the contents of a note found on the top of a little steel box which fitted nicely in one oflhe divisions. The note ran thus :
" Within the little steel box is the miniature of tbe lady you are to marry. This box you are not to open till you see my two doga, Howler and Barker, and then by consulting them you will find out the way to open tiie box, for it has a curious faaiening, and cannot be opened* but by their connivance unleaa it is broken, and if bro¬ ken, thc miniature will be deatroyed. I think you can tiepend on youraclf in this particular, but be sure to spit in Barnes' face, and if you could add a tweak of the nose and a kick, you would greatly oblige me. G. D."
Of course ii was agreed on all sides lhat the lillle box should remain quietly untouched just where it now lay, but they made themselves very merry over ihe letter and note. Aa to np plying again for the achool not one ofthe family would listen to it, not even if Mr. Barnes came in person to make the offer
*' No !" said Davip, the youngest boy ; " not if he were to fall down on his knees and beg you to go."
Thia created a laugh again, and thia good- Iieartedneaa was very soothing to poor Arthur. Not one of the children would take the letter to Herman Hall, and the ostler was too shabby a looking fellow to be sent on such an errand lo so grand a place, so Martha's lover, Garry Lovel a young man who worked on Mr. Green's farm on shares, undertook to deliver it himself. There need not have been such confabulations on the subject, for Garry did not get farther than the porter's lodge, an awful gloomy look ing place, Garry said, and the porter was as awful looking and gloomy as the lodge. He was told that an anawer would be sent in the course of the day. and he therefore need not wait.
"If I were you. Mister Arihur," said Garry, " I never would set fool in yon hall, for there is something wrong there. I can't believe that honest people would shut ihemselves up in that dull, musty sort of way. unless they had some¬ thing to conceal. You had better turn farmer. Here is a fine chance, fir neighbor Fielding wants to go Weat, and would rent hia farm t"or a trifle." " Do take it," said Mra. Green. "No," aaid Martha, blushing; "let liim take faiher'a farm on sharea, that wilt be eaajer, for I want Garry to take ihe next farm."
Then there iras a merry ahoul of laughter, and the boys declared she was right, and that Arthur should atay with them, and they would plough and reap for him while he tinkered about, shot birds, and caught fish.
Towards evening tlie anawer lo hi.q letter came ; he was requested to call at Herman Hall at ten o'clock the next day, and he might decide wliether the terms would suit him.
.At ten o'clock lie was ni the porter's lodge, where tlte solemn looking personage who had ao awed Garry stood ready to receive him. A low, gardcp-chaifie^ wiih ujjair of hanilo-"»>- - - nies, was waiting lor liim. ;...,> which he sealed himself. Tbe ride was enchantment. No fairy dream could have conjured up the beauiiful scenery which opened to his view at every lurn ofthe ground. Arthur was lost in rapture, he forgot his humble circumstances and his slender fortunes, for his whole soul was filled with lofty thoughts; he seemed elevated lo the companion¬ ship of angels, and he gloried that he was a man after God's own image. "Angels," thought he, as the carriage moved slowly along, " could not feel happier, nor have purer emotions tlian I enjoy this moment. I have had the fear of God before me and have reverenced Him always, but here I love him—these are his glorious works.— Cities aro made by men."
Arthur iiad lived in cities always, and his lit¬ tle excursions, hastily made, and very limited in duration, were for the. purpose of fishi-ig or shooting, and always with a dull companion, like Snow, who fished and shot in the same way lhat he kept books—pursuing the one act, the one thought which he proposed doing.
Herman Hall had been in the poadcssion of tho family for more than a century ; it was orig¬ inally selected on account of/its beauty and fine prospects, and art had assisted nature In embel¬ lishing it. Arthur entered the mansion-house a far diflerent man than he wae an hour before.— A new sense—a new feeling had been given to him.
His name was announced by the footman, and the man who received it passed it to another, who opened a parlor door, and then came for¬ ward to request him to walk in. With his mind filled wiih such a blaze of glory as that through which he had passed, the petty formali¬ ties of a common man, better in external gifts than liimself, seemed as nothing, so that when Mr. Herman waved his hand lo a chair, Arthur seated himaelf with as much ease as if he had been worth a million.
"This is your letter, I preaume," said Mr. Herman. Arthur bowed. " You are competent lo teach the German language,"—anoiher bow, —'¦ and what are your terma-"
Arthur smiled, for the truth is he never thought of terms, he concluded there was a set price, and lhat there would be no difficulty on that score.
" You shall name your own terras, air," said he. "I have never taught, but I understand the meihod of teaching, and therefore leave the mi¬ nor consideration to you."
" Wo shall say a dollar an hour, if thai sum suits you," said Mr. Herman, and Arthur was quite satisfied. He was to begin in the course of an hour, and until the young lady was ready, hi was requested to walk in the library
A library ! A private library I Arihur had seen several of thom, and had been in the city, and in circulating libraries, but he never, even in works of history and fiction had read of any to equal the extent and magnificence of thia one This library occupied tho whole ground floor of a wing of what might be called a custle, and no book was beyond ihe reach of the hand. Tho roof or ceiling was supported by forty columns, the base of each being ten feel square, five feet high and filled with books. There was just space enough between each column for a person to pass with ease, and there were lounges and chairs scattered about in every direction. This curious library contained all lhat was valuable and rare, and not an author of note was omitted. One column was devoted to Shakspcare alono, «ilh every commentator from the earlier to the present time, and here, as if by instinct, Arthur seated himself. He waa soon hurled in the charms of the author's fancy, and when the ser¬ vant announced that tho ladies requeated lo see him, he had some difficulty to bring his thoughts down to a level with a dollar an hour.
Alter walking through an inierminuhlo suite of apartments—all to impress him with the wealth and consequence of the owners, he was ushered into a small room, audi as ladies are fond ol caUing a. boudoir ; here sal two ladies, the younger of whom rose as he entered.
" Pray bo sealed," said Madam Herman, wav¬ ing her hand in the same gracious manner as her son. " Sit here, and let me lequest you to ' listen to certain preliminaries before your duties. If you dia)ike them, we can part at once ?"
" Oh, let the preliminaries suit yourself!" aaid Arthur, " and I shall make no objection, provided I may spend one hour a day, or even less, in that glorious library; why, madam, I shall never dream of remuneration, there is food and raiment, and every thing that can de¬ light the soul at the foot of one column alone— the one devoted to Shakspeare !"
Mrs. Herman started al hira with perfect amazement. He heard a clear ringing laugh as if in the next room, and on glancing his eye to¬ ward tbe window,.there aat the young lady, brim-
ble teacher of »he German language, for one dollar an hour.
The preliminaries, young man," said the old lady, etifi^y, not regarding his rhapsody, or subsequent embarrassment—" aro lew, but must be complied with' strictly. Hearthemout with¬ out interruption, and then decide for yourself." At ten o'clock precisely you are to he in thi3 room 1 there ia your seat, and ihete is the lady whoisio recive instruction." Arihur rose, and bowed to this lady, who half rose aud blush¬ ed exceedingly. '* I shall remain in the room, and give notice when the hour expires. There is lo l>e no conversation excepting what relates to the language you are teaching, and when the hour is expired you can go to the library, or ride out, or amuse yourself on the grounds, till the servant announces to you that it is lime to dresa for dinner. You are to dine with us." Artliur did not like this part ot the arrangement, and sal uneasily in his cliair. ^' Go to your room as soon as the deseri is removed, and be your own master till five o'clock, when another liour of your lime will be required; I shall be in the room as before, and give you notice when the hour is up, and the family then sees you no more till ten ihe next day, excepting that this lady will preside at the breakfast and tea table You are to remain with us until tJie lady is sufliciemly grounded in the language to proceed in it iier- self, and you aro neither lo leave the place nor see any one till ihat time nrrives."
The siinc clear laugh was heard in the next room, and with a glance of hia eye, he saw that the young lady held a handkerchief to her face. Arthur rose;—
" I had no idea, madam, lhat I was to be the happy inmate of this paradise, but as it ia your pleasure, I agree to ihe terms, excepting that once a week I must have the privilege of seeing one or two of my liumblo Berrydale friends.— The porter's lodge can be our place of rendez¬ vous, and all that they shall ever hear from my lips is, that I am happy beyond my hopea. I think it is the desire to remain unknown to the people in the neighborhood, which gives rise to your request that I hold no communication wiih them,^'
Mrs. Herman made no reply—ahe pointed to the lable where books, paper and pens lay, and began to "knit with dignified solemnity.
He look his seat opposite lo the young lady, (wlioee name had not been mentioned by Mrs. Herman,) but driw his chair ao that his face was partly hidden, for he wanted to catch glimpses of his pupil's face, unseen by Mrs. Herman.— Ble look up the books, examined them, and ae- lecting one, began to read.
The language must appear liaralt to you," said he, " but as soon as yon have acquired the pronunciation, you will like il exceetlingly. I was acquainted with a geniJeman who had a greai desire "—
No, anecdotes,if you please, .Mr- Hazerelle," aaid .Mra. Herman. "Please to recollect."— Arthur really was ' struck all in a heap,' partic¬ ularly as lie again heard the laugh in the next room. The young lady pitied his conluai'Mi, but the laugh was irresistible, and shejoined in it.— What could Arihur do belter than to laugh alsot Instead of ordering Iiim to leave the houae as he expected, the old lady begged ihem to pro ceed, aa minutes made up hours."
He got Ihrough the first lesson without fur iner remark, though the young lady could acarce¬ ly keep her countenance, and when the hour had e.xpired, Mrs. Herman rang a little table be ahd the servant who came in was requested to show Mr. Hazerelle his chamber.
As soon as Arthur had Fhiit his room door, he threw himself on ihc eofa and laughed heartily, but what waa his amazemfnt when he heard the aame clear ringing laugh aa before
" I'pon my word," thought he, "thia is a queer place. All solemn nonsense on one side —all puerile formality on the other—and harlc- quinism in the centre. Truly, I am curiously
