The advent of Master Langdon TO pigwacket

than had attended that Of either Of his pre-
decessors- Io,ks 80 a good ways all tue
world over, and though there were several
good-1ookins people in the place, and Major

called "lla1lnsome n.an," that is, big, fat, and
red, yet the Sight Of really elegant young iel-
low, with the natural air which grows up with
carefully bred young pcrsons, was a novelty.
The Bral,rnin blood Which came from Ills grand
father as well as from bis n,otler, direct de-

thing, perhaps, oftho high spirit; but that We
shall have a chance Of finding out by-aud-lw.
But the locg sermons and the ffusal board
OF bis Brahmln ancestry, with Lis own habits
OF study, had told upon his color, which was
subdned to something more Of delicacr Than
one would care 70 see iu a young fellow with
rough work before him. This, llowerer, uaado
Ailn look more Interesting. or: as the young
Indies at Major Busl1's eaid, "iuterestin'.''
When Mr.. Bernard showed himself at meet
ing, on the first Sunday after his arrival, it may
be supposed that good many eyes were turn
ed upon tho young scloolmaster There was
something heroic in his coming forward so
readily to tske a place which called for a
strong land, aud prompt, steady will to guide
It. In fac. his position was That Of military
clcfta!n On tho e.e Of Il battle. Everybody
knew everything in Pigwacket Centre; and it
was an understood thing that the young rebels
meant to put down the new master, if they
could. II was natural that the tgo prcttiest
girls III Tic village, cali i in the local dialect,
Us ncarly as our limited alphabet will repre-

should feea and express al interest ia tie good
looking stranger, and that when their f;atser-

No: day came, and the new sclool-1naster
was in the clair at tic upper end Of the school

looked at his handsome face, thoughtful, peace
fu1, pleasant, cheerful, but sharply cut round
The lips aud proudly lighted about the eyes.
The rinsleader Of the mischiefmakcrs, the
young butcher. who has before figured in Ibis
narrative, looked ut him stcaltlfy when
ever 1c got chance to study him upob-
served; !o7 tile truth was, he felt uncomiorta-
l'le Whenever 1le found the large, dark eyes
liked on his own little. sharp, dcep.set, gray
oues. But llo found the means to study lin
l'retty well-tirss his face then lis necl: aad
