CHAPTER I.

DR.. Primrose, the Vicar of Wake
field, was a clergyman whose we'll
ordered life seemed secured against
the storms of fate and the vicissi-
tudes of fortune. His parish lay in
a pleasant part of England; his af-
fluent circumstances enabled him to
live on terms of equality with the
gentry of the surrounding country,
and, as he had chosen his wife as
she chose her wedding gown
not for a fine, glossy surface, but
for such qualities as would wear
well-lived very happily together
with their six children, dispensed a
pleasing and open hospitality, and
spent their time in visiting their
rich neighbors or in relieving the
wants of the poor
The children, the offspring of tenn
perance, as they were educated
without softness, were at once well
formed and healthy; the sons hardy
and active, the daughters dutiful
and blooming.
Not that they have no cares 20 vex
the-squire would sometimes fall
asleep in the most pathetic part of
the doctors sermon or his lady re-
turn Mrs. Primrose's civilities with
mutilated courtesy. Boys some
times robbed the doctors orchard
or Migrants cats plundered his wife's
custards which had been set outside
to cool.
The eldest son, George, had been
educated at Oxford, and was en-
gagged to marry Miss Arabella VIII
mot, the charming daughter of an
opulent squire of the neighbOrhood
The two girls, Olivia and Sophia,
who came next in the order of birth,
were young ladies whom the man
aging Mrs. Primrose looked upon,
because of their beauty and good
qualities of heart and mind, a4
| destined for still more brilliant
alliances. Moses, the second son,
because he haggled over the price
of everything he bought, was
looked upon by the family as a
prodigious financial genius, was
educated at home and destined
| for a mercantile career. The two
youngest boys. twelve years junior e
| Moses. were too small as yet 70 have
| careers picked out for them. and they
devoted their undoubted talents to learn
| ing TO read
Suddenly all this bucolic felicity and
prosperity was destroyed and swept
away. The London merchant who had
charge of DR.. Primrose's funds FLED
abroad to escape his creditors, and the
worthy parson was left penniless. But
the distress of the family at this news

THE OICAR OF WAKEFIELD
No. =
BY OLIVER GOLDSMITH

1.-THE Vicar of Wakefield' is an Eng
lish classic which has given delight 20
generations o. readers for nearly cen
fury and a half Time has wrought no
diminution OF its popularity or ro7oed
IL Of its interest, and IL is probable tnat
il Will continue to be read and admired,
not only as long as English is spoken,
but into that far time when, as the
classic of a dead language, II is trans
lated into some as yet uniformed tongue
The simplicity and purity of its literary
style make o fitting vehicle for the pure
and simple thought which II conveys.
Goldsmiths pubh=ner Is said TO have
kept the manuscript in his desk for two
years before he ventured to give II 10
the world, being doubtful Of It's recep-
ton. But when finally published, the
book was received by the DISCRIMINATING
portion OF the public with consldera-
ton and praise which has endured 10
this day-not only undated, but rather
Increasing with the years.
II Is said that Goldsmith wrote the
book while lying in debtor prison.
and II is easily hellevable; for the au-
Chors loose life, coupled with the great
est generosity, kept him constantly N
poverty and brought him 20 an early
grave. In many things he was the very
antithesis of his writings, and while he
won the love Of all with whom he was
brought in contact. he also excited a
desire TO place him under a guardian.
"Nr Goldsmith vas wild" said john
son TO Boswell after the authors death.
wild, sir-but he is so no more.
