and rcdd,r and mo received several reprimands
for not minding his own business. At last, when
the usher was ex EXPLAINING 10 Sidney that he
should he obliged 10 send him down To lower
class, DIR. Wise happened to come down the room,
stood still while Sidney, now arrived at tho
bottom Of the form, translated the last sentence
Of the lesson, listened to a conversation between
him and the usher, in which they differed about
the derivation OF word and, to the surprise Of the
whole class, interrupted 1t by carry ing Sidney oil
to his own end Of the room, and declaring him to
be a member Of the first class.
The first class had already concluded their
reading, and were engaged In writing out DR..
Wises remarks on the mornings lesson so Sid
ney was obliged to pass away the rest Of tho
morning as he best could, by arranging his books
in his desk and looking about him.
