TO work for Dean Swift. lie was recommend
ed by James Swing, the banker, and Mr.. Sic

for pair of boots, adding
" When shall have them 90
" On Saturday next,' said The shoemaker.
" have no appointments, said the Dean,
" nor would have you disappoint others set
your own time aud keep 10 it,"
" thank your reverence" said Bamerick
(for that was his name,) 81 desire no longer
thar Saturday e'en, when yon will be sure to
have them without iail,''
They parted. The boots were finished at
the time; but, through hurry Of business, Mr.
Bamerick forgot TO carry them home ill Mon
day evening. When the Dean drew the boots
on, and found them TO his mind, he said
:" Mr.. Bamerick you have answered to the
commands of your friends, but You have disap-
pointed me, for was 10 have been at Sir Ar

The Dean gave him one OF his stern looks !;
and, after pause, asked him whether he un-

Bameriek answered.
" No, sir but have seen some very fine
gardens in England"
" Come" :" said the Dean, in good humored
tone. - i will show you some improvements

They walked through the garden to the fur

MISCELLANY.
FATHER MORRIS :
A sKErCn FROM NATURE



ny MRS. II. BEEcuER STOWE
OF all the marvels that astonished my child
hood, there is none ! remember to this day with
so much interest as the old man whose name
forms my caption. When knew him he was
an aged clergyman, settled over an obscure vii
lage in New England. He had enjoyed the ad-
vantage of a liberal education, had strong,
original power of thought, All onni poieai ia-
agnaiiou, and much general information but
SO early and so deep had the habits and asso-
Citations of the plough, the farm, and country
life wrought themselves into his mind, that his
after requirements could only mingle with them,
forming an unexampled amalgam like unto moth
ing but itself.
lie was an ingram New Englander, and what
ever might have been the scource of his infor-
nation, il came out in Yankee form, with the
strong provncialty of Yankee dialect.
1t is in vain TO attempt to give full picture of
such a genuine unique; but some slight and i'm
perfect deshes may help the Imagination TO a faint
idea of what none can fully conceive but those
who have seen and heard old Father Morris.
Suppose yourself one of half dozen child
reu, and you near the cry, "Falher Morris is
comiug' You run to the widow or door,
and you see tall, bulky old man, with pair
of saddle bags on one arm, hitching his old
horse with lumbling carefulness, and then
deliberately siumping towards the house. You
notice his tranquil, 1orid, full-moon face, en-
ighiened by a pair great round blue eyes, that
roll with dreamy inattenliyeness on all the OBJ
tacfa arauuJ and bsa taEoe nHb HE b,t
see the white curling wig that sets off his tonnd
head. lie comes toward you, and as yon stand
staring, with all the children around, he de-
liberaIely puts his great hand on your head, and
with deep, rumblng voice, INQUIRIES
SLOW dye do. my darier is your daddy at
home 90
"My darter" usually makes of as fast as pos
sible, in an unconquerable giggle. Father
Morris goes into the house, and we watch him
at every turn as, with the most liberal simplc-
ity, he makes himself at home, takes of his
wig, wipes down his great face with checked
pocket handkerchief, helps himself hiher and
ihilher to whatever he wants, and asks for such
things as he cannot lay his hands on, with all
the comfortable easiness of childhood.
remember this day how we used to peep
through the crack of the door, or hold ii half
ajar and peep in to watch his motions; and how
nightly diverted we were with his deep, slow
manner ofspeaking, his heavy, cumbrous walk,
but, above all, with the wonderful faculty Of
'hemming" which he possessed.
His deep, laundering, proiracted "A-hem-
EN-" was like nothing else that ever heard /;
and when once, as he was in the midst of one
