Arthur was away at school, hav- ing been placed out in spring: strictly. speak- ing, it could not, however, be called a school : a clergyman received half-a-dozen select pn- pils, and Arthur made one. Mr. Danesbury was one of those wise~judging fathers, who deem no money wasted that is spent upon ed- ucation. ‘ With the coming winter, a boy was born to i the ‘sccond‘Mrs Dancsbury. .It Was named' effected, Glisson and her mistress nearly came to a battle royal. In the first place, Glisson though ready and willing enough to take to an infant of Mr. Danesbury, had an insuperable objection to be charged with any child of Mrs. Danesbury; and, sec- ondly, she vowed and protested that she would not give up William. But Glisson,like her betters, found herself obliged to yield to circumstances. She was at liberty toremain in the house and attend to William, if she pleased, but not as head nurse, for whoever took charge of the infant must fill the st..â€" 0f cnurse',’for Glisson to remainin the Binn- bury nursery, and not be its head, was out of the question ; therefore, with much 'outwsr ‘ crustrness and mward heart-burning, she did Isabel and her new mamma did not cer- tainly get on well together, and yet Isabel was a sweet-tempered child, remarxaby lady- like and graceful. Glisson spoke out openly, and in the hearing of her master: “ It was Mrs. Danesbury’s fractiousness.” Mr. Danesbury knew that his wife was in delicate health, and he believed that must be the rea- Ion of her being no cross and irritable ; but, so far as Isabel was conserned, he speedily set about a remedy. A gentlewoman of en- perior mind and manners was taken into the house as her governess, and he gave the little girl into her companionship and charge. “ I. will kn ‘15-- O-nngL‘- 1'-.. on .

She at length struck Glisson, in her passion, and ordered her to quit the house, then and drink strong ale-at supper, and she did, in general, take a glass of spirits and water af- terwards. It was the custom to drink spirit: at night at Mr Serle’s, and she had recom- menced it after she became Mrs Danesbnry.
