gentlemen, shall we take him without look

The vote was unanimous, of course, anc
Mr. Accidcncc was called in and engaged
we dare nos say on what terms, lest il
should cause shade Of doubt to rest on
our veracity MIR. Elitor, then IN th'
hope OF securing n correspondent TO TN
Advertiser, volunteered to show the school
master about town, and Mr.. iimcnto IN
vited the two men of let ers to call at hls
house in the evening.
Now if you please, reader, we will slip
back TO Mr.. Pimcnto's. The party had
Just begun to renew their attacks upon
their host, when to tho infinite relief of
that worthy, the door opened, and Mr..
Editor announced Mr. Dilworth Accidencc,
introducing him to each person in success
sion. Oh there is no describing the sen
satou that is created in a country village
by the arrival of young, tolcrably pretty,
unmarried pcdagogue. The village bellies
draw odious comparisons between the elc-
cant exotic and the rustics indigenous TO
the soil, and the village bca,lx silently
swear horrible jealous oaths at the new
conner.
The ceremony OF introduction beng
over, Mr.. Editor who otfciatcd as exhibi-
tor of the lion, seated him aud then him-
self took seat by his side, and the ladies
composed themselves in their chairs again.
One who had a pretty foot, managed to
protrude it little beyond her gown
Another with a swanllke neck, sat a mod
el for goose. The bacl; of another who
had a remarkable taper waist, seemed to
have cut all acquaintance with the back
of her chair. \ tremendous India carved
comb, which had strayed to Ccdaryille,
came near putting out Mr.. Dilworth's
eyes, by the anxiety Of the wcarcr to COM
pei him to look at il. Miss 4. beautiful
hand was exhibited in thousand WAYS
Miss b. 5 beautiful new rcticulc was con-
tInually in rcquisItion. Miss c. 5 cambric
scattered the odors of otto
Of roses ia@9ssaptly. Miss p.,q->},7.,s 'sze
have GOT far enough in the alphabet of pre-
preparations OF these " fishers Of
men, whose baits were prepared to cap
ture the heart Of Mr.. DilwOrth Accidsuce.
Tie b.auX whose arrival had occurred lust
previous TO t.at OF the scAoolmaster, eyed
the fire rs if tLoy were solving the qucs-
ton, how much ashes can b. produced
from given quantity Of wood. Mr. Pi-
mcnto proudly regarded the wonderful
as almost a being Of his own
creation and as they sat in silence all,
debated within himself how lar the pres
cnce of the man who kept a room lull Of
women silent, could have the same dcsira-
bic effect ON Mrs Pimcnto, if he engaged
him a. q boagdcr.
The ice was not broken til Just at the
moment the party prokc up, when Ncssrs
the EitOr and SchooIma ter showed SIGNS
Of vitality, and commenced a critical dis
cussion on the merits Of Perry's Spelling
book. Nothing remarkable occurred at
the cloaking or hooding except that Mr.
Accidence offered his services to see no
iamscl home, thereby offending Just one
more than he would have done by being
gallant. And they separated; the bcaux
relieved of portion of their jealous fears,
and assisting the bellies as they walked
home, to expatiate on the merits of the
stranger; and the married couples con-
sulting how long they could with dcccncy
proerastinatc 4 reeiprocation of Mr. and
Mira. Pimcnto's ciyility,

orcsidentass Of the Dorcas Society, propos-
, and carried a resolve that gentlemen be
admitted as honorary members, and Mr.
Incidence was accordingly voted in
Miss Nightingale, leader Of the female |
singers in the village choir, screamed her
elf hoarse in the Ode to Science on the
irst occasion that the schoolmaster was
present at q sing; and Miss Seraphinc
lugg, a young lady who at fifteen had
cad every novel within her reach, sudden
y discovered that her education was Ia
mentality deficient, and put herself under
hc direction Of Mr.. Accidoncc. The de-
out were unusually deyout, when it was
sccrtained that the pcdagogue was con-
tant attendant at church and conventi-
lie. y reading society was set on foot
because the master happened to drop hint
# the plan of one with which he had been
ormerly connected Albums were piled
Ipon his table by the dozen and deep were
he studies of the owners to torture his
acrings into something tender, or to dis
over some hidden meaning.
All this worked admirably well for the
omfort Of Mr.. Dilworth, who was no con
emncr Of the good things of this life, as
gave him an entrance into all houses
there there were manageable daughters
nd who lonCed 20 bc thought so. But
