A QUALIFY SCHOLAR AND 011.1T011.

I cr.l4 upon my friend, the prang Member, one
morning, for a frank. I tinind him en robe de
elumbre, surrounded with charts, globes, papers,
and books, amongst whiA were proceedings of both
houses of parliament, law books, history, and clas-
sics. Something mitten in short-hunk lay befi're
him, and a runner to one of the Editors of a news-
paper was receiving his orders and a parcel. Many
franks were arona7l him, nod he seemed exhausted
with study. All this struck me as rather new. At
Oxford he was thought am. diAipatell young, man;
yet on one occasion he wrote a splendid thesis, and
was second best at the prize Latin oration.

" You are over hurried, Charles," said I, " and
'an have no franks to spare ; so I will call another
time " Not at all, may deur friend,' said Ile ;
I'll date the frank for to-morrow ; and if you will
sit down, I will be with you immediately. lam

stituents pour in like hail-stones ; and I have
been planning something very beneficial to the
state. fly the by, come down to the house to-day,
and you will hear what will please you.'
Ile now left inc far a•whole hour to my medita-
tions, during which time a servant fetched a number
of books of reference, and I overheard my beardless
senatorial friend declaiming in the next mn. My
first reflection was, that, elate with his green parlia-
wentaty honours, he heal given more than his num-
b.si of franks tir a week to come, and that mine
Nvoaid not go free. It fell out exactly so; mine.

pressure of !witness, lodkill title-A-taut, cast a
tterin:4. glance at his looking-glass as we left the
and we proceeded to the house together. As

in parliamentary language, such e.s, Disposing of

The hououra Member spoke at some ledgth,
but thul tint excite genei al interest. A few friends,
I,,wever, shouted a supporting " Hear, hear," not

!oohed anxious ; he drew near nun;—" He makes a

" Muc/t general reading," added he agnin. And
a very laboured siceeli.' replied 1. " Humph !"
quoth the clergyman; for I now found him such.
" A young man who has read a great deal," observed
he. My friend now made a quotation whielt I re-
Liembercil in his 'I hesis. I mentioned it to. the
clergyman, who scid in answer, '• He was a man of

exultingly said the friend, his face all beaming with

hope.

! thought that I had seen the counter ance some-
where, and I asked if he was a relation ; to which
I.e answered in the negative, adding, " but I am
none, I um a very early and sincere friend of his.'
The speaker now made a geographical blunder.
" Pish !" cried his friend. But none of the house
aserved ic. The attention of the majotity was not
engaged,-1 teem the 'majority, not in poiitic,,, but
in nianbers; the other learned'tnembers did not per-

a blunder in a quotation ; his friend blushed, and
bit his lip. However, the speech now came W a
close ; and our black coat withdrew.
