CHAPTER V.

None so blind as those that CAN'T see!
A pleasant party was assembled IN the late
Mr.. Churlt on's parlor to hear the will read.
TO his faithful servants the deceased gentle
man left a shilling each; TO an illegidmate son
his old clothes, cut in the fashion of preceding
generation, and the family seal; to Litfth Lank
a lock of his hair, and TO Miss Phaeton all the
balance of his estate, real and personal.
Among others who came to congratulate Miss
Phaeton came Liffith, sorrOwful and seedy. She
looked at him moment, more in sorrow than
in anger Point Gdrgent, point de Suisse; no
money, no point lace and Swiss muslin, thought
she but her better nature prevailed. There was
enough for two, and her life was monotonous;
Heretofore her amusements had chiefly con-
sisted in working figures of saints on samplers,
and confessing to Father Francis. husband
would be pleasant variety, she thought.
And Neverill helped the thing along. He pro,
posed that she should give Lif1th all of his and
her property and marry him-Nevertll. Again
tine peculiarity of the grand and beautiful orbs
came in. Kate looked him dreamily in the eyes,
but she did not see him
Nor did she see IT

Unfortunately Liffith, on receiving the note,

observe two things: first, that they were grand
and beautiful orbs, thouoh the pupil was with
out a master; secondly, that they were over
looking him instead of looking at him. Some
persons would have thought her CrOss-eyed-
but it was only a way she had.
So contemplated by such curious eyes, a man
feels queer. He doesn't know whether he is
being looked at or not
She was rather chari able, and made no bones
Of giving all the cold victuas about the house TO
the poor. All she required IN return from those
around her was, that they should be Roman
Catholics, and do precisely as she wished them
to do in every thing Singularly enough, much
uglier and richer girls married on all sides OF
her, but this eccentric beauty remained Miss
Phaeton at two times twenty.
She hunted enCe month, and was at home
in the saddle-but did not give her receptions
there. So admirably balanced was her charac-
ter, that, Notwithstanding her love of the manly
sport, che had no ambition to be a jockey nor a
groom. But one day they drew Yewtree Bow,

CHAPTER VI.

Lifith made tolerably good husband, as
husbands went in those days. Generallyhe was
able to get upstairs after dinner without more
than two servants TO assist him, and he very
seldom got into bed without taking of his boots
When he did, he was especially caEeful to re-
move his spurs.
with both spurs and boots, Mrs. Lank remOn-
stTated with him; but he turned upon her, and
called her A PRURl ENT PRUDE, and threat.
ened TO drag her before the public; seeing her
error, she confessed it. On the whole, their
married life rippled on about as happily as ever
married life does.
The main trouble was about "help." Mrs.
Lank was prejudiced against good-looking
chambermaids, aud Liffith was opposed to
Roman Catholic serving-men, who eXcelled in
polish in everything, except in the matter of
polishing boots. This brings us to the opening
81 say, the hussy shall pack, }" Mrs. Lank had
remarked.
She had asked him, few seconds previously,
to bring out his UiOl dd gdnabd. Alas her
speech had the effect OF bringing out vial Of
wrath
"say /, then, that losel shall never blacken
my boots again."
''say !, then, they are my boots, and not
yours, and that faithful serylng-man shall
brighten them whenever he WILL"
Here Mrs. Lsnk was wrong. Because she paid
Ifor the boots, by no means did it follow that
Fthrow them she should every morning In her
husbands face. Nor, strictly speaking by the
iS'tSI Vi luS ldWJ WCAc IuSJ llSI DOOlSy WuEIucI
paid she for them or not. AS we'll have claimed
his breeches, might she, and these she could no
more have filed than his boots. AA aunqUdnl
tentes utpelJfce.
Besides, for the matter of that, they were not
boots at all; they were A PAIR OF H0B-NAILED
SHOES.
Sometimes Lifith thought that he had got an
elephant on his hands--that he might as well
have married Mademoiselle Djek-fOr at times
he did indeed feel much deected-and been a
Jack of all Trades at once
Mrs. Lank had in her employ lady named
Ryder-and ride her mistress she did with a ven
tiiu hair she tangled and pulled it viciously;
capillary attraction exerted its force to soften her
obdurate heart in vain. Ask you why RYDER
was so relentless and remOrseless She loved
Lifiith, and pulling his wife's halr was the only
way she had Of showing it. Odusd ldtet, uis est

well, Be virtuous join the Roman Catholic Church,
and you will be happy.
"P. ST. am afraid you will think me o coquette,
but do not think am one.
"P. p. ST. wish you would get me few skeine
of worsted of the inclosed pattern.
"P. p. Sill you shaved your head, perhaps you
would feel better"
"And what answer will you make?" said
Father Francis, who delivered the note.
"Answer I'll not waste postage-stamp,
fialth, growled George.
"But I'll carry the message" said the priest.
"Then here's my reply" said George, grinding
his teeth (perhaps because he couldn't have a
mill with his rivaD, "shes old enough to under
stand French, if she doesn't. Tell her.
"Le jeu ne vaut pas la chandelle."
"I'm not the first sold by damsel."
And with that he walked moodily away. He
looked at the sky, and the stars seemed to smile
at his anguish. Cold and pitiless, the pale moon
looked down upon his woe. Longingly he looked
for sign to assuage the grief which gnawed at
his heart. Suddenly his eye frightened.
Would you behold this great discovery, the
same in magnitude and appearance as it met
the eyes of the first discoverers, dragged with
a rake from the bottom of bay, opened with
knife, and swallowed by an adventurous mortal,
after successive generations had passed 1t by
without deeming it succulent?
Then turn your eyes hither, for here it is.
Sold, in the cellar he found compensation.

LIFFTTH IANK; OR, LUNACY.
A PARODY ON "GRIFFITH GAUNT;
OR, JEALOUSY

a PARODY ON "GRIFFlTH GAUNT;
OR, JEALOUSY"
The publication of Charles Reade's "Grif-
ath Gaunt" in the atlantic, and the attacks
TO which it was subjected on both sides OF the
water, have secured for it notoriety second
TO none OF the recent publications OF fiction.
The following is a skeleton Of the plot. Kate
Peyton, a country belle, is courted by Sir
George Neville aud Griffith Gaunt. She is a
fervid Romanist, and has a penchant for a
convent. Because, however, she inherts
property, which should have been Griffith's,
she feels inclined to marry him. This she
does, and, after living in peace for a few
years, excites his jealousy because Of her
conduct with her confessor. He (Grifith),
driven to distraction by the insinuatlons
of her maid Caroline Ryder, finding his wife
and Father Leonard together, knocks Leonard
down, mounts his horse, and flies to an adjoin-
ing county where. aftera severe illness, he mar
ries another woman,the "dove-eyed" angel,
Mercy Vint. Returning, however, for moneyto
Mrs. Guant, No. 1, he finds she has been faith
full, and lives at home for awhile. After oscilla-
ting between the two for some time, Kate
finds out his peccadilloes, and threatens to
have him arrested. He flies in the night.
Shrek is heard, and on the strength of the
shrek she is arrested for murder. She de-
fends herself, and at the last moment letter
is received from Griffith, saying that he is
alive. After short time she returns to live
with him; and his child by Mercy Visit having
died, the latteris married to Sir George
Neville.
The following admirable parody can be only
fully appreciated by those. who have read the
work, but this outline will enable all to see
the force and point OF many of the sarcasms
with which it abounds. The author deserves
great credit for the success of his little work.
