THU PARSON'S PREDICAMENT. I will relate the particulars of a ' painfully disagreeable predicament in which I was once placed-a cleri? cal one, to boot-and yet it ended so advantageously as to start me well in life. '...'.> , . Just after I was married, I took| tbs curacy of B--, in Warwick? shire. . I resided in the rectory, tho rector himself being obliged to Uve in the South of France. Callers of course carno, but, owing to one circumstance and another, we missed seeing most of them. Before we had started on our round of returning visits, I received a friendly note from Mr. Chilmark, a vicar in the neighborhood, stating that, in for? mer times, be bad known my father at college; that be bad the rural dean and a few friends coming to dine with bim on such a day, and that if my wife and I would waive ceremony, (we had not then returned bis call,) Mrs. Chilmark and be would be much pleased if we would Join their dinner-party. I should remark that my wife and I had never seen Mr. and Mrs. Chilmark; we were out in the parish when they called on ns. They lived about three miles on the other side of the town of W-, from which we were two miles distant. In those days, I did not keep a close carriage, but I drove my wife in an open wag? gonette. I did not know the coun? try at all; but having studied tho map, and got directions from an acquaintance, I bad little doubt but | that, with the help of a young moon, I should find my way. It so happened that the night of November 18, 1858, was very foggy; the moon was hardly of any use to us. We could find our way to the town of W-all right, because it was a turnpike road, and I was ac? quainted with it; but with regard to the other side of the town and the cross-roads, I hardly know what to do. I made up my mind to see if I could get on at all; and if I fonnd myself in the least degree puzzled, I determined to go back, and get an hostler from the town to act as a guide. As we were leaving W and about to drive through a turn? pike, a well-appointed carriage over? took us, and passed through the gate just before us. I asked the woman at the gate whose carriage it was. * 'Mr. Singleton's, " she replied. "How fortunate," exclaimed ny wife; "that is the rural dean. Wt know be is going to dine with the Chilmarks; so you have only to fol? low close upon him, and we shall be all right," Acting on my wife's bright suggestion, I did follow the carriage, and that closely. Luckily, my horse was a good ono. Occa? sionally, when near water, we seem? ed to be plunging through darkness, so thick was the fog. However, all went well; and at last I was glad to follow the carriage before me through an avenue up to a large house, whose hall was blazing with light, and resplendent with the liveries of the servants. Wo did not take muoh notice then of these things; but, as I divested myself of my wrap3, and my wife putting herself straight in some baok room, I oould not help envying Mr. Chilmark, and thinking that his living must bo au exceedingly good one, as he was able to have things in euch style. in a few minutes, wo wore ushered into the drawing-room, tho butler making, as usual, some blunder about our names when announcing ns. Mr. and Mrs. Chilmark came forward and kindly accosted us. My wife was installed on a sofa near the fire, and I formed one of a knot of gentlemen lounging in the back? ground. We were a large party, about twenty iu number ; and as the butler left the room, I thought I heard Mrs. Chilmark give the order "Dinner." A few dull moments, as usual, before that meal, when sud? denly an electrical shock of a curious nature was communicated to tho majority assembled in the drawing room. Tho door was opened, and instead of dinner being announced, the butler ushered in Mr. and Mrs. Templeton. There did not appear to me to be anything unnsual in this, but evidently a great commo? tion was created. Persons looked! i Ofwiously at Txyj ^yiff* tt?A -f^asv at ?asVMr. Cbilaaork tenoned-me on the shoulder, saying: ?'May I apeak a word with you in the library?" I followed, and. noticed my host, in orossing the .hail, say something to one of the servants. As soon as we were closeted toge? ther, Mr. Chilmark s manner changed at once, .''Now, sir," said he to me, "what is tb,o meaning of'all this? Who are you really?. Where do you come from?" Of oourse, I was sur? prised; and wishing my father's pep l pery friend, Mr. Chilmark, at the ! very opposite side of the globe, I calmly stated who I was, and re ! minded him of his invitation. "I invite you, sirl" he roared; ??you-you-you-" He bit II?B lips to check his angry words. "Yes, sir," I replied, "you did; and you asked also Mr. Singleton, thejrurnl dean, and I have come, not exactly with him, but just after him." "Stop sir; no more Hes." "Excuse me, sir," I replied; "one more word, and I have done. Either you are prematurely drunk, or you are mad. I do not care to dine with either drunkard or madman. I shall call my wife out of the drawing room, and beg to twish you good evening." I "Excuse me, sir," ho hissed through his teeth, while he "placed himsell between mo and the door; "you wi! not get off so easily, young man." Now this was a pleasant predica ment, thus to be closeted with a mad man. "Pray, may I ask you what ot earth you mean?" said I. "Pray, may I ask you what or earth yo ti mean?" he replied. "D< you know who I am?-where yoi are?" "Yes; you aro Mr. Chilmark, th< reoter of-, a very old friend o my father, the late Mr. Temple, o -; I am standing in your library at your rectory, having been aske< here to dino; and, upon my word, th sooner I get out of your hospilabl house, and cut yonr acquaintanc for good, the better I shall b pleased." He grinned horribly as I spoke and said: "I am Lord Claydon This is Claydon Castle. I neve asked yon to dine; and, in shorl yon are a scamp. I have airead sent for a policeman, and, till h arrives, you shall not leave thi room." "Well," thought I, "thank gooc ness, he has sent for a policeman; s ere long I shall get rid of this mar man's society. " What to do I kne not. I fixed my eye on him, an tried to master him by starin him out of countenance. We wei both silent for a few moment At last, my friend said to mt "Your tale is ingenious, youn man; but it breaks down. If yo were goiug to dine with Mr. Chi mark, at - Rectory, how cove yon to bo here, a distance of si miles from your pretended destini tion?" "I then explained that I knew tl rural dean, Mr. Singleton, was goiu to dino with Mr. Chilmark-that was a stranger in tho County, ar was not acquainted with the roads that the turnpike woman told me was Mr. Singleton's carngo whic passed us at tho gate, and that I he followed it, and consequently four myself where I was now." Light began to dawn somewh upon the obfuscated senses of bol of us. It struck mo that my sn; posed madman was in all probabili really Lord Claydon, and that somo way I had made a mess of tl matter-missed my leading carrie) in the fog, or done something that kind. I imagine it began strike tho gentleman opposite, th possibly, after all, I might not be i imposter. Lord Claydon-for so must call bim-then said: "You t< me that you nro Mr. Temple, t new curate of-. What proofs ci you give mo that you aro what yt represent yourself?" "Plenty,to-morrow, replied I; "b not many at present. Look at tr however-do I not appear a gent man and a clergyman?" With n kind of ghastly grin, Lo Claydon said: "That goes 1 nothing. You aro not a bit better g up than-in fact, not so well as - However, I want more proof." "Proof!" replied I. "Why, into your drawing-room, and see some of your neighbors do i possess moro information than yoi self, and usk them whether or i a Mr. Templo has not very recen come to be curate of -." "Oh, vory likely that is the eas sir; but I want proofs that you i that Mr. Temple." "Proofs, man!"I cried, gettingv< impatient-"proofs, man. WI what am I to do? I cannot refer y to my mother, for she 's not bore; do not carry my card case in : dress-coat; and ray wife's evidei is, I snpposo, not admissible. I 1 you, though, what I can do-11 to refer you to my pocket-handk ohief, my stockings and the tail my shirt. If you wish to insp them, you will find 'Edward Tem] written in marking-ink." So snyi I pulled out my pocket-handkerol and indignantly - threw it on table. Lord Claydon took it i carelessly glanced at it, and th smiling, showed me "E. H. 1 embroidered in tho corner. To intense annoyance, I saw that wiio had placed in my pooket a fine soon tod handkerchief of her own, that I might scorn grand, I suppose; and not only that, but the pocket handkerchief was ono of her marriage outfit; and marked-goodness knows for what reason, though I could suggest many-with tho initials of her maiden name-the said pocket handkerchief, mind yon, being never to be used till she became Mrs. Edward Temple. I explained mat? ters to Lord Claydon, and said: "It really looks awkward ; bot may I beg you to examine my stockings and tbo tail of my shirt. My wife's stockings would not fit me, and she cnn hardly have a shirt made Uko this." So saying, I began to kick off my dress Wellington boot. Lord Claydon interrupted mo: "My dear sir, I cannot allow that. Bo kind enough to forgive and ex? cuso mo for what has^taken place. I could not subjeot a gentleman. to tho test you propose; and if! I havo by any chance been taken in again" -and ho laughed-"all I oan say is, I havo been deceived by tho most perfect fac-simile of a gentleman," and, as he spoke, he held out his hand: "Forgive me, will you?" Our hands met in a mutual squeeze. He sat down for a moment at the table, wrote a hasty note, and then taking my arm within his, led me to the drawing-room. As he crossed the hall, he gave the noto to a servant, with a message, of which all I caught was-"Give that to-." CONCLUDED IS OUR NEXT.
