A Portrait of the AutOccGs OF
the Breakfast Table.

The atlantic Monthly for November,
has an account of "Visit to the Auto
Gratis Landlady.' Here is that worthy
old lady's description of the appearance
and habits of her quondam boardor;-
"This gentleman war'nt no great of a
gentleman to look at. Being of q mod
crate dimenson-fye feet five he said -
but five feet four more likely, and I've
hecrd him say that he didn't weigh over
a hundred and twenty pound. He was
light completed rather than darksome,
and was one of them smooth-faced peo-
pie that keep their baird and whiskers
cut closa, jest as if they'd be SO very
troublesome if they let 'em grown
stead of layin' out their face in grass. as
my poor husband that's dead and gone
used to say. He was well-behayed
gentleman at table, only talked good
deal, and pretty loud sometimes, and had
a way of turnin' up his nose whom he
didn't like what folks said, that one of
my boarders, who is a very smart young
man, said he couldn't stand, no how, and
used to make faces and poke fun at him
when ever he sees him do it.
He never said word against any Wit
ties that was set before him, but / mis-
trusted that he was more perticerlar in
his eatin' than ha wanted folks to know
of, for I've knowed him mako believe to
eat, and leave the vittles on the plate
when didn't seem to fancy 'em; but he
was careful never to hurt my feelin's, and
| don't believe he'd have spoke if he had
found a tad-pole in dish Of chowder.-
But nothing could hurry him when be
was about his vittles. Many's the time
Two seen that gentleman keepin' two or
three of'em yettin' round the breakfast
table after the rest had swallowed their
meal, and the thugs was cleared off, and
Bridget was awaiting to get the cloth
away-and there that little man would
set, with tumbler Of sugar and water
a-talkin' and a-talkin' - sometimes he
would laugh, and sometimes the tears
would come into his eyes-wh:ch was a
kind of grayish blue eyes-and there he'd
set and set, and my boy, Benjamin Frank
lin hangin' round and gettin' late for his
school and wantin an excuse, and an old
gentleman, that's one of my boarders,
a-listenin' as if he want no older than
my Benjamin Franklin, and that school
misti ess settin' jest as if she'd been be-
witched and you might stick pins into
her without her hollerin'. b

with an evil eye. But I bore it meekly,
with little Rose, in her mourning dress,
nestled against my breast, as if were the
last thing on earth she had to cling to.
The lawyer opened tho will and be-
gan:
'In the name of God, Amen. I,
George Markham, banker, Of Hartford,
bong of feeble body, but of sound and
disposing mind and memory, do hereby
constitute this my last will and tcsta-
ment:
II bequeath my soul to tho infinite
mercy of God, if it be possible. I be-
queath my name to the oblivion of all
trus man who shall know the truth.
That I bequeath to ny brother, John
Mark ham, not OF bounty. but Of immeas-
urable Indebtedness, in my confession
that | alone, and unaided, am the author
of that damnable sin which brought the
shadow of a prison, and the loss of all
things upon his innocent head. And f.
nally l give and bequeath to John
Markham all my estate, both real and
personal, to have and to hold, TO him,
bis hers and assigns forever, confident
that he will so have mercy on my guilt,
as to be in all things father to my
child"
Then, like the friends of Job, my &C.
quaintances came back to me beholding
how 1 had prospered. Again I stood
an upright man on the face of earth as
well as heaven, and mono uttered an i'll
whisper of me. Is
Now / live alone with Rose, who has
filled the place of tho daughter | might
have had but for the fifteen years. She
is my child, my companion, my confor-
ter, my pupil. And never on earth will
| bring any other love between us; for
at night when I look up into the stars, |
hear low voice saying: 81 am waiting
for John Mark hamr'
