O, Father, merciful and good, UG kind, Who feedest ue with daily food For Body, Sowi, ana Mind! Ww: rs ip Thee, we biess Thee, ae Thee evermor ly confess Thee jod whom we adure! How thick with corn between the hills The laughing valleys stan How peaseowny, thy Mercy garners of the land! And therefore will we raise Thee Oar humble anthem thas, Aod. sinful children, praise Thee For all thy love for us! As year by year in ceaseless love ¥ bounty never fails, But still the ings from above O’erfiows our hills and dale: Se truty we adore Thee, Thou giver of all good, Ad offer now hefore Thee Thy Peopie’s cratitude ! MEANING ME, SIR? It isnot only Scrub, in the comedy, who says, “I believe they talked of me, for they laughed consumedly.’’ Scrub in the elub says the same; and in the drawing-room; ay, and in the ebureh. There is nowhere where Scrub isn’t perpetually on the watch, for the faintest sound of laughter in order to show his logical sharp- ness and prove that he, Serub. is the smbject cf ation. Nor does it need laughter to at- notice. Hissing weuld do jast as well. Even silence has its stin. “They must be thinking of me,’ he thinks, “they say so lit- tle."’ + They must be trying to spite me,— they look so happy.”’ “She must be utterly Sorgutfal of me, id whiten se sweetly.”” Scrub, in short, is a disgusting fellow, whom all of us meet fifty times a day—apt to take offence at imaginary neglect, attributing false motives to e most reasonable actions; egotistical, exact- ing, self-tormenting—a prose Othello, whose lago is his own insufferable vanity, which makes him the victim of jealousy and suspicion, and who is only prevented from having a real Des- demona by never having had manty confidence enough in any of Eve's daughters to confer on her the inestimable honor of bearing his name. A happy escape for Eve's danghters, as you will find if you peruse the following lines, which I hope will be soriously iaid to heart by any of her numerous sisters who are about to marry Serubs. Delamour Wormwood, the chief of this dis- tinguished family, was engaged to Phillis Daisy field, with bis own entire approbation. She was the gentlest and simplest of her sex ; very beautiful and very young; never laughed un- necessarily, though she had the rediiest lips and whitest teeth in the world; . therefore, Delamour never suspected she was talking dis- respeetfully of him. And. indeed, she was so tender-hearted, and so modest, and believing, she never spoke disrespectfully of anybody. She thought Delamour very handsome, and in this she was nut altogether mistaken ; e be- lieved a great part of the vow#of he made to her, and in thisshe was wroag, for among the vows was one of comple confidence and unbounded tr As he said the words he watched the expr onof her face. *: You don’t believe me.” he said * Ob, yes, Edo.

A policeman, however, came out from the buok- ing-offiee and changed the current of his thoughts advise poo- What are ‘ou to be on your guard, gentle- men,”’ said the policeman, addressing the two young men who had excited Delamour s wrath; “one of the London swell-mob came by the last train, and is perhaps lurking about stil!.”’ The friends instinctively looked at the only other person on the platform ; but, seeing only @ very good-louking, well-dressed gentleman, they resumed their conversation, after thank- ing the policeman for his warning. The look Was not thrown away on the irritated Delamour. He vented his rage on the policeman. ~ Why didn’t you give the notice also to me?’ he inquired in a very bitter tone. “I believe, he added when the two companions had come within ear-shot, “ that the swell-mob frequently go in couples,”’ so saying he fixed his ferocious eyes on the countenances of the friends, * and generully pretend to be military me * You seem to be up to their dod; rett well,” said the guardian of the len eee wae offended at the tone and manner of Worm- wool'’s address. “ You can, thaps, be on your guard against them, without telling, as you're soup to their tricks.’’ Aud pullin oo his breast-pocket a half sheet of paper, he began to read it with great attention, casting angry lances from time to time on the indignant Jelamour. His patience could stand it no longer. He went up to the man and said, “You insvient caitiff! How dare you insult me by such conduct?

And now what have You got to say?”” Delamour was in such fierce wrath at the two young officers who had just step) into their fly, that he could say nothing to the triumphant constable. ~ “ Why are those vulgar fellows in the ear- riage’’” he cried, hoping to be overheard by the objects of his question. “If I knew the cox- Maal namos, they should onswer for thei: be- wavior.”* “ They're Captain Harleigh and another of- ficer of the Queen’s Blazers, you can find ’em at the barracks, easy,’’ said the policeman with a malicious grin. ‘ But I advise you to be quiet if you want to keep a whole bone in your + pia Delamour gulped the information and the in- sult. The name of the Queen’s Blazers had struck him dumb. Phillis’ brother was a lieu- tenant in that ferocious regiment, and if he was told of his absurd behavior, of his quickness in taking offence, bis ungovernable temper, what would he say? In perfect silence he took his seat in the fly when it drew up, and placed half a sovereign in the policeman’s hand. With a cautious look took to see that his inspector was not on the’ wateh, the policeman pocketed the and said, as the fly moved off. ‘Don't d. I won't tell the captam where you be gone, or you’d get as good a kicking as e’er you had in your life.’’ Ifa look would have strangled the good-na- tured policeman, B 30 would have been a dead man. As it was, it was a murderous glance thrown away, and Delamour pursued his way through country lanes and wreath-hedge rows, towards the residence of his charming Phillis. When he arrived at the Hall, he expected to find her on the lawn. When he was ushered into the house, he expected to find her in the abril | room. Mrs. Ogieton had gone out, he was told, and Miss Phillis also; but they had both left word they would soon be back. ** Was I expected at this hour, do you know?” said Delamour to the footman. That functionary was new to the establish- ment, and was not acquainted with Mr. Worm- wood's person. “* Didn’t a letter come this morning by post ?”’ he enquired; ‘from London—pink envelope— red seal—coat of arms?"’ “‘Yes,”’ replied the man; “from the hair- dresser, wasn’t it?” he inquired, a little donbt- fal, but not very, as to whether Mr. Truefit’s representative stood before him. ~* What do you mean’”’ exclaimed Delamour; “‘ you insulting scoundrel, I’m Mr. Wormwood, and wrote to announce my arrival.”’ ‘ “T bumbly we your pardon, sir; but Miss Phillis mentioned nobody but the barber; and of course, sir, you see—but I’m very sorry, I assure you, sir, and I hope you won’t allude to the mistake.” Delamour left the house and pursued his way through the park. At the side of an ornamental sheet of water, beyond a rising knoll, he saw his adored Phillis. She had a crook in her hand aud a rqund hat on her head, tastefully orna- mented with flowers of her own gathering. A close-fitting dress revealed the matchless sym- metry of her figure; her petticoats were very short, and her feet the smallest and prettiest in the world. The shepherdess smiled when she saw her lover, and blushed at being detected ia her festival attire. It isso pleasant to watch the sheep!’ she said. ‘ Ob, how I wish I haa lived in the days of rustic simplicity, when everybody was so kind and innocent. It must have been charm- ing to fold in the flock when the sun began to descend. and then to assemble for a dance upon the grass—no etiquette—no drawing-room false refinement.’ “ And Strephon?’’ ingeire Delamour, with a cloud beginning to darken his brow. “Oh. he would have been some gentle villager, some neighboring farmer's son, soft-voiced and musical; tor, of course, he would have sung and delightfully on his oaten reed.”’ u know, I suppose, Miss Daisyfield, that [ neither play nor sing; and, to tell the truth, I despise any one who does either.’’ ~ Bat I am only painting a fancy scene,”’ re- plied Phillis, alarmed at the sharpness of his tone. ‘You didn’t think I was serious, Dela- muur? I was a kind of actress for the time, and thought I would speak in character."’ So say- ing, she threw away the crook and took the wreath from her little straw hat. “And now,” she continued, taking his arm and turning homeward, * I will be as steady and sensible as you please. Let us go in and sce my aunt.’ Delamour brooded over the previous part of the conversation. He didn’t like the allusion Strephon, nor the rapture about the pipes nd singing. * The girl can’t be altogether devoted to me, she wouldn't talk sach nonsense about dan- with shepherds on the grass. I am no rd, and she knows that very well.” aunt received them at the door. “The post,’’ said she to Phillis, “has just brought me a letter from your brother. He has been unexpectedly ordered to join his head- quarters, at Neddithorpe, and arrived there last night.” * On' I'm so delighted!” exclaimed Phillis. “Dear Edward! when docs he come to see us? Oh! let us go and see him at once!” “He promises to be here to-morrow,”’ said Mrs. Ogieton, in a cold tone; “and I should like to see Mr. Wormwood for a few minutes alone.’* Mr. Wormwood had just resolved to ask Phil- lis why she was in such rapture about the re- turn of her brother. Wasn't he, her lover, by her side? and yet she wished to start away from him! But he followed Mrs. Ogleton into the drawing room, and Phillis saw there was something wrong, but could not tell what. * The letter from Edward Daisyfield,’’ began the lady, “is exceedingly unpleasant. He tells me that he has yf promised the hand of his sister to one of his brother officers, and he has received with great disapprobation my an- nouncement of your engagement.” “Indeed !’’ said Delamour, ‘‘and why? What has he or any popinjay in the Blazers to say against me?” ‘Oh, nothing against you,’’ replied the lady; “for he never heard of you before. All he says is, he prefers Captain Belford, and rgfuses his consent to your suit.”’ “And does Phillis agree with him ?’’ inquired Mr. Wormwood. “T have this moment got the letter,’’ replied the lady, “and she knows nothing about it. I have given my approval, you are aware, Mr. Wormwood ; but the decision, I suppose, will ith Phillis herself.”’ t is w little tuo late, I should think, to make it a matter of choice,”’ said Delamour bitterly. “I have announced my approaching marriage to all my friends, and | won't be made 8 fool ol, by either brother or sister. Why, the world would laugh at me, and I am not the man to be laughed at with impunity.” “{ never beard of Captain Be ford,”’ said Phillis, when she was informed of her brother's epistle. ‘I will have nothing to say to him, and I’m sure Edward only requires to know ‘ou aa well as I do to see that I can never be oe y with any one else.’’ “ Dearest girl! you make me happier than ever I was before.”’ “ You are always so kind and trusting,” eon- tinued Phillis, and Delamour looked searching- ly in her face— _ You are so generous, and open, and unsus- picious’’— A c'oud darkened on the lover's brow— * And ['m sure you'll be great friends with Elward, and, indeed, with the Blazers, for he says they are the most gentlemanly fellows rest torr + foot in the world.

But on reflection, (and he took three days at least to reflect.) he perceived that he must come to an understanding with his rival. . It was necessary for his self-respect that he should show Sal prpeaes how thoroughly he i accordingly he wrote an in- 9 Japa to the distinguished Blazer, and was about to sendit to the post. when his ser- vant entered with a card, and said, ‘‘ The gen- tleman is in the hall.”’ Delamour looked at the card, and saw printed thereon the name of * Captain Belford.”’ ‘Show him in,” he said, and prepared for battle. There was no battle in the face or man- ner of his visiter, however. Fair, honest, happy- looking, as becomes perfect health and three- and-twenty years of age, the captain smiled graciously as he entered. ‘You are surprised to see me here, Mr. Wormwood,”’ he said, * but the fact is, I think it right to come to an explanation.”’ “Exactly what I jena sir,’’ said Dela- mour, biting his lips. ‘My friend, Ned Daisyfield,”’ he continued, ‘is too flattering in his estimate of my merits. He wished mo, of course, you know, to offer ny hand to his er. He introduced me to her two days A charming girl, [ confess, very pure, very beautiful, and. as her aunt is very rich, I believe, an heiress, if she pleases the old lady in the choice of ahusband.

Good morning.”’ Before Delamour could recover from his sur- prise, the visitor was gone. “Before I had time to call him to order for his behavior at Neddi- thorpe, for he is Harleigh’s companion,” he muttered: “‘and yet ho isa fine hatte topen —noble—and very handsome. Why has he surrendered his chance of Phillis? He ad- mires her beauty, her character. and knows she is to have a fortune. How kind! But is it not rather strange’? Why is he so absurd! friendly? Ab!’ And here for an hour he san into a fit of musing. “Can he have heard anything about Phillis? Is there a vulgar Strephon after all, with his disgusting pipe? I don’t like this.” And he smiled as fe went out—perhaps he laughed when he reached the street. “He rejects her. There must be a reason.’? And here he mused again. At the end of three hours’ meditation, he packed up all bis traps, supplied himself with eircular notes, took out his passport, and went sulking, gloomy, and quarrelling, through France and Italy for three yeurs. At the end of that time he came home. On landing at Southampton he saw a face he knew. Curiosi- ty as to what became of Phillis, induced him to speak. He went up and held out his hand. ‘Captain Belford,’’ he said, -‘ I fear you have forgotten me.” “Ob, not at all,’ replied the gentleman; “you are Mr. Wormwood,—but I am not Cap- tain Belford; I am Ned Daisyfield, Phillis’ brother. I called on you, and pretended to be Belford; it was only to try you, for Phillis had written you were of a sour, suspicious disposi- tion; but she didn’t wish to offend her aunt, who supported your cause. The bait took. You thought something must be wrong,—some trick intended against yonrself,—and gave poor Phillis up, without condescending toassign any reason. Charley Bedford steptin.
