only daughter who had then arrived at puberty and was just tnarried to a dear connexion of oiy own the sudden deaih of her husband occasioned by a fall from his horse only three days after hercooboe- roedt was abruptly communicated to mrs s by a thoughtless girl vho saw her master brought lifeless into the house aod with all that inexplicable anxiety to be the first to tell bad uews so common among the lower orders rushed at once into the sickroom with her intelligence the shock was too gevere aod though the young widow survived the fatal event se veral months yet she gradually sunk uo- ler the blow aod expired leaving a boy not a twelvemonth old to the care of his maternal grandfather my poor friend was sadly shaken by this melancholy ca taetrophe time however aod a strong religious fecliog succeeded at length in moderating the poigoaocy of his grief a consummation much advanced by bis in fant chargn who now succeeded as it were by inheritance to the place in his affections left vacant hj his daughters de cease frederick s- grew up to be a fine lad bis person aod features were de cidedly handsome still there was as i rt member an unpleasaot expression io his countenance and

society of his equals ia ape and intellect brougbt up entirely at home his progress in tbe common branches of education was witboul any great display of precocity rather in advance of the ge nerality of boys of bis own standing part ly owing perhaps to the turn which even his amusements took from the first his aole associate wastho eon of tbe village a- pothtcary a boy aboot two years older than himself whose father being really clover in his profession and a good oper ative chemist had constructed for himself a small laboratory tn which at he was fond of children the two boys spent a great portion of their leisure time witnes sing many of those little experiment so attractive to youth and io time aspirtog to imitate what they admired in auch society it is not surprising that frederick s should imbibe a strong taste for tbe science which formed his prin cipal amosement or that when iu pro cess of time it became necessary to choose his walk in life a profeasioo so intimately connected witb his favourite pursuit as that of medicine should be eagerly select ed no opposition was offered by my friend who knowing lhattbe greater part of bis own income would expire with his life and that tbe remainder would prove an insufficient resource to bis grandchild vasonly anxious that he should follow such a path as should secure him that mo derate aud respectable competency which is perhaps more conducive to real hap piness than a more elevated or wealthy station frederick was accordingly at the proper age matriculated at oxford with the view of studying tho higher branches of medicine a few months after his friend john w had proceeded to leyden for the purpose of making him3elf acquainted with the praciics of surgery io the hospitals aod lcclurorooms attached to that university the

something more than mere ordi- en to the nary excess some act of profligacy per haps of a deeper stain which had induced his superiors who at first had been loud in his praises to desire him to withdraw himself quietly but for ever aod such an intimation 1 found had in fact been con veyed to him from ao authority which it was impossible to resist seeiog that my informant was determined not
