" We muBt have some now fuiniturc, and that soon," eaid a gentleman, taking a leisurely Hur^-ey of the parlors, one morniog. 'ooih pick in hand. "I have been looking at our cousin Madison's; very finethcirfi; really, ourshegiPQ to look shabby, arkish !*'
"How, father?" asked one of the three boySj who followed him in the survey.
" Arkish, my son, it looks as if it were from the ark ; quite out of date ; we must have new,
" Not for the preeent my dear," observed a lady, rising from ll'c breakfast table, and follow ingon " this will answer for some time to come it is hardly ten years old ; and you know how handsome it was considered then*?''
*• Yes, and do you remember how chicken- hearted you were,—afraid it waa beyond our means?'' said the genileman, chuckling ; " but it looks now, out of date, at least besides our cousin Madison's*'
" Why make any one our standard?" asked the wife : "Look at ihcse three boys to provide for," as she patted Philip's curly pnte.
'* Ah, we'll look out for them, time enough for that," he replied aa he complacently sur veyed them ; " but we must not be too close ¦ Bomething is due to our station;'' upon which he drew himself up a little pompously, perhaps. " Yes. to support it with sulncient economy; to lay up someihing for rainy days.'"
"Your rainy days, Jane! the weather wilj take care of itself," he said, good naiuredly, going out ot the room ; then thrusting his head into the door he added, " I will send the porter up with these things if he is^ not too busy«"
"Let the hoys po my dear," heaou.^ht the Jady ; Here qre Madison and Philip, who A'ouJd give the whole world f'jr something to do*"
"Yes, mother I yes, mother!   let  me go !'' shouted the two. "No, no;  tct the   porter do   these   things;
cousin ^ladison's boys " ^
" .Must he patterns for ours," playfully inter ropted the wife, placing her hand on his mouth. " Bui do you think it best (or the boys to go ? ihej- can't bring it."
" Yes, father, ^s I let us try ; there's noth¬ ing like trying, mother says," eagerly declared the two.
"I sec mother is for your working; well, perhaps it is best underall ctrcumstsnccs Come with me ; and irora his handsome parlors depar¬ ted Mr. Philip L., my father, a rich merchant, as the world reputed him, with his two eldest, Madison and Philip ; pale, slender hoys, of eight and ten years.
Some lime passed away; and although the Eubjeci of new furniture was frequently brought up, and cousin i^Iadison Jones' sufficiently com¬ mented upon, yet my mother never cordially assented to its being bought ; not needing it, to her, was synonymous, with not buying it.
At lensth,  a  few days iicfore Thanksgiving, a rocking chair, in the newest and easiest style of twenty tlve years ago, entered the door, the precursor of a liandeomu aei of furniture for the parlor.    Onr mother looked ai it ungraciously, and drowned our exclam.iiions by her silence.— At dinner when our father appeared, he threw himself into it, saying.   " Ah 1 Jane,  this isjust what   I want this   minute.   I am siiockingly tired.''   We looked at him, and  ihcre waa a strange paleness about his mouth.   " Is it not easy ?" he asked, resting his head back and looking into my mothers face as if her full coin¬ cidence of opinion were only needed to complete his enjoyment.—Site smiled   pleasonily,  then pressed her hand upon his iorehcad.   " I fear you are unwell," she said tenderly; "your head ia very, very hot."   Aly father was not well; he soon-entered his chamber, and liie next day, and next, grew more sick.    The three weeks whtrh succeeded I shall never tbrgct; dreary, dreary, dreary to mc, the invalid hoy, for I was deprived of my mothers care and presence, alw^ays bo ne¬ cessary ID me before,   flow keenly did I fee! that nobody was like my mother; never having been able to engage in the active pursuits of my brothers.   To sit by her side, with my little slate and picture book, was my chief delight.— Sometimes I threaded lier needle, or cut off" an end, or sewed on patchwork,  niankful for the little helps I might afford her.   Now I was in the nursery, almost alone; my brothers occa¬ sionally came to amuae me, but child  as I was I saw that their hearts were not_there; they were thinking of sleds and snow balls.   Nancy waa kind, but somehow Nancy had a world lo do, when I begged a story, or my squares wanted basting.—You  eee   I have  not forgotten   the technicalities of sewing despite the lore ol the' niusty law books whicli line my office.
Three weary weeks,—weeks of an-tiety and painiul solicitude, and faithful devotion on my mother's part, at the sick bed,—but—my father was sinking I iMadisou and Philip were suffered lo roam at large, a freedom which they enjoyed to the fullest extent. The servants went about on tiptoe, and whiapered one lo another. The doctor came oficner. Strange faces appeared now and then in the entry. I was left to take care of myself, until Nancy put me into (he parlor and bode me be a good boy. Soon a gentleman came and kindly taking mo from the carpet where I had sorrowfully lain do>/n, placed me upon his knee, calling mc " his poor little boy." Cousin Madison Jones entered, and he flo tall and big, who never spoke to his Uiile children, patted me on the arm, saying, ''Ah ! the poor little fellow; can't realize it—no—no 1 and then ho suffered me to take'in my own hand hJ3 cane, his Brazilian cane, with a dog's head carved upon the top; the cane which he had ever forbidden me to touch. The cane pleaded me but a moment; luen 1 looked up into their faces to learn wherefore this tenderness. I ieli it meafit sumtih'mg, a aud something, and instinc¬ tively called fur my mother.
" Poor liiiie ieltuw your mother can't come to you, said the gHnilcman, gently laying my head upon his bo&um.
¦•I wish ] could aeerny mother," 1 whispered with a choking in my throat.
¦' Your mother, child ! no ! don't ask for your mother; she don't want to see you," declared Mr. MadiEou Jones, stopping in his walk across iheroom.with u still and chiding look- Not- Withaianding the choking in the throat and a blur on the eyes, I resolutely rubbed my little thin hands across my eyes, and eaid rapidly to myself, " I mu.si try to ije a man, mother eaya: I must not cry;" it was a hard struggle, but Johnny did nut cry; ho lay paiienily and sor¬ rowfully in the gentleman's arm.
Tfcai night Nancy undresEed and put me in ray trundle li«d, scarcely .peaking, nor did she stop to hear my prayers, nor did my mother come in and give me her good night, aa ane ai- ways had. What tears filled my little bo.iom. I waa awed and frightened by the Birango sail', ness of everything and everybody. I toased restleEaJy about. 1 talked aloud to kfcep myctlf company. I aaid my prayra over and over again to comfort my heart and keep up my cour¬ age. When at last, it seemed as it ray mother even had forsaken mo, I kept up a atout heari by whispermg " Jesus loyes little children, he does, motdcr read it to me.''
What a world of authority in " mother saya so'.'' Oh! miiihers, say careful and judicious things, for your wurda never die.
Falling asleep, I dreamed of falling off my bed, then I was tied up in a leg of ro'y drawers, and somebody was going to daafr mo lo pieces. With my heart beating and ready to break, I awoke. Silcm, everything silent. " I will find ray mother," was the heroic, half visking reao- luiion.aai lumhled out of bed, with my poor iamo foot. My father's door was reached, be¬ yond the dark long entry, and 1 crept in at the' hall open door. By the pale lamp-iight." I could see no one but a sirapge man at the bed¬ side. My heart fell; then I pushed a litiie far¬ ther in; on' the other aide oi the bed aat the dear object of my night search. " Mymother! my mother!" I did not cry it out but my heart beat with delight. Soltly I moved towards her. She eat down with her face bent overthe pillow; there was white ail about and her face was very white too. She never heard or heedid me; but I had found her, reached her chair and was aciu- ally holding on the rounds, whea I heard a strange noise, a groan, a deep, hard breathing which frightened me.
^'It's all over, whispered the man.
My mother's head dropped upoD the, paiow and she sobbed in agony. It was tli» chamber of death, I clung to her knee: " Moifier^dear mothtr!'' I whiipered; somttthineb'etWeen joy, kA 9Qmw, ftod i%ttQi; '! do lit xa% stajr vitb
tears scalded my cheek. " My poor, fatherless boy! Oh God I thy will bo done! she exclaim ed, as she laid her cold wet cheek upon my fore¬ head. *' Dear, dear mother, I love you !" was all that I knew of the language of comfort.— Then, when exhausted and einkiog under the weight ol grief and weariness, they put her to bed and would lake me away from her, I prayed them 10 let me He by,her aide; I would be aiill^ I would not breathe." Let the child come," said ehe lo. those who would have thruat me back into the irundle bed. She opened h«r artuB, and Ineetled cJoso,,into herboaom, show¬ ing my Bympaihyby kissing her night-gown, when I could not approach her face without dis^ turbing her, and then grasping her arm and ejaculating "mother, dear mother!'' Amid tears and broken prayers I fell asleep. I have always thought, since that painful and dreadful night, a tie seemed to link mo to my mother un¬ like my brothers, nearer and dearer. My heart, little though it was, had beat close to hers in its darkest hour.
Sad days followed ; sad to my mother, sad to my brothers, as thoy began to .realize in the fu¬ neral pomp and procession, the affliction which had befallen them; not sadder tome than the days when I lived alone In the nursery. Now I could sit by her aide and look when I would, up into licr sad face.
" You have a great responsibility, certainly, the hringinij up of your three boys," said a friend who came to pay my mother a visit of sympathy ; '' but it is not as though you had not enough to do with,'' contraating the luxuries about us with her own narrow home.
" I do not know how that will bo," answered my mother with a sigh ; a prDphctic sigh it proved to be."
The next painful acene hastened on, an ex¬ amination of my father's affairs and settling his estate. No will was diicovered, nor waa hia reason granted long enough to eay anything re¬ garding a future provision for hia family. On the laat night, it waa said, he attempted to speak and looked with unutterable sorrow upon my mother; but what lay upon his mind, his lipa in vam tried to reveal. It waa not long before Mr. JVIadison Jones, who administered on the estate, began to utter short and aigniftcaat growla, "that things were no better than they should be; that it was just as he always said; Philip lived too fast; yes, lie knew troni the first how it would be ; hia family would be left poor, left to come upon their friends!" Cousin Madiso'h waa famous for seeing results when they appear-' ed ; it ia not every one who ia thus gifted.
At last it came out naked enough, that my father was n bankrupt. We wej-e poor, abso¬ lutely poor, but for a small sum belonging to my mother, and secured to her in a marriage contract. Its interest had never been touched, and BO it amounted to something, but little enottgh, upon which to bring up three boys. — Rich relations, we had but one, Mr. Madison Jones, and he, only a cousin of my father; a riCh eouain, who prided himself upon hia mon¬ ey, and valued other people by the same stand- ard.
And now what was my mother to do ? The moment she ascertained the actual aiato o*^ ihinga, she began to act. Would she open a boarding-hous-e, ihat genteel and uncertain al¬ ternative lor poor genile-women ? If possible, no ; her time must be given to her boys. . Must she move into the quarter of that small tenement in a back street, behind cousin Madi¬ son's and take in sewing, letting her eldest live half hia time at the namoaakcs, and sending the youngest to his grandfather's ; or could she not manage ao as to keep them all with her ?
" That neighborhood is ao bad for the boys ; and besides, there Is no yard for them to work in," argued my mother.
" A yard! what do you want a yard for?'' asked cousin Madison, testily.
" Then they can play a great deal with our buye. and often take their meals with us. Eve¬ ry little helps,'' added Mrs. Cousin Madison.
My mother thanked her, but inwardly begged to be excused, from too great an amalgamation of the boys. She said she would take time to think, and endeavor to p lace heraelf in a situa* lion for the beat good of her aons.
Behold us, than, in four months time, at homo
in a viliagr, five miles 'from' ; a village, of
whioh my mother knew very little, except its neat well ordered appearance, and its excellent clergyman. A " cottage" presents too many poetical associations to indicate truly our new dwelling. It was a simple one story houso that had been yellow ; somewhat unprepossessing without, perhaps, but within, it had two nice chambers in the attic, a pleasant sitting-room, bed room and kitchen. Its aliraction lo my mother >vas a small barn and a large yard, a part of which, behind the house, seemed to have been the remains of a garden by some early occupant; straggling currant buahea were dis¬ covered among the grass, and aome stinted gooseberries in the corners. A small farm on one aide; and Mr. Gile'a great hay field on the other; the sparks and coals of a blacksmith's shop opposite, the blue sky above us, with the sun-rising and the sun-setting all in eight, and pastures almost within a stone's throw.
^Wo were scarcely settled, when Mr. Madison Jones-and agentleman rode out to see us. My mother was absent but soon to return. Mean* while thoy surveyed the premiaea ; then coming in, they sat down. I woe in my httJe chair, surrounded with playthings. Regarding me aa a plaything loo, they talked freely.
*'This big yard! what ia it-for; said Mr- Madison. " I should like to know what June wanted it for!"
" Better take anug little rooms in town," re¬ joined hia companion.
"She says.it is for the boys. What do they want of a big yard 7 They lake care of it !— They work. I never found boys good for any- thing yet. There are my four great boys; of what use are they to me ! All they want is to be waited upon. She has missed it, or I am raisiaken; but women must have their own way !. Women have no judgment!" So com¬ mented our cousin, Mr. Madison Jones, unheed¬ ing the little lame boy, who devoured every word thoy said.
By-and by, mother appeared. Cousin ivladi- son's opinions were not long concealed.—That bi<;yard,-*Jane! .that's going to be a trouble to you. What in the name of common sense IS It for?'   .
" For the boys,'' ahe answered, aa undisturb¬ ed as possible. '* You see the part which runs behind the house was^i garden once. I hope to see it a garden again, as it will employ the boys."
" Employ the money Jane ! It will be noth¬ ing but an expense ; gardens cost, Jane. What can boys do? Depend upon it, you wont get much work out of them. Look at mine!" 1 dare say she did, aa I venture to say she had many timea before her which fortified her in her present position.
We had been at our new home quite a fort¬ night, when our oldest came to ua. He had been at Mr-Madiaon Jonea nearly ever since our faih er'a death, somewhat against my mothers better judgment, which unavoidable circumstances seemed to control. It was a chilly April twi¬ light when he arrived. My niother ran to wel¬ come him, and "oh Maddy! Maddy !»' shouted forth my lips; but Maddy walked unmovedly in, and planting himself with his back to the fire, and hia cap in his hand, look his firet im, pression.—Our little aitting-room certainly looked the picture of comfort; a neat book-case reflected a bright blaze from the {)pposite side of the room, a table with a green cloth occupied the centre, and a few valuables rescued from the aale, adorned the room. Madiaon did not seem to know whether to be pleased or not.
" Where is Philip ?" he at length asked. A stirrtng aiep waa hoard in the back entry, upon w.htch Phihp opened the door, with a log in hia hand. "Jrmished mother! fmiBhed the pile -^Oh Maddy!" he exclaimed, with unexpected' delight.    - ¦ .
"Finiabed what V" asked the eldeat, with some indications of interest.
•' Finished splitting and piling my wood," an¬ swered Phil. "Do yoiisplit and pile ?" "Yea I hope so/ answered Phil, as if he had always done it.    '
" I shan't," declared Madison with an ungra- cioQsness altogether uncalled for.
"Then you don't belong to oar hive," aaid Phil, Btouily, aa he laid on the log. '' Yo.u may go back to Mr, Jones." . My mother was prepa¬ ring tea. ' 1 shan't like it here, I Itnow I shan't said Madiaoaagain,after a pause'; 'It is not a bit like cousin Madison's; or our other house. .CouainMadison don»(tlike,it either." , 'tliika itsaid Philip.hocatiga it- haaa'bsm; and«ich«hig3^;aD(dpexiiBps.we shall have «eovr soiB» tu&9 or ot&«r.'^
Who'll lake csre of it?'' aaked Madison.
" You or I," said Phil,' onie of us.*'
"laban't,'' declared Madison. Mr. Jones's boys don't have to work. Mr. Jones saye it is high time to work when we are men ; that we must lake alt the pleasure we can, when we are young ; (rolic and have good times.*' My moth¬ er looked anxiously, but said nothing. Philip and I were conscious of being dampened, deci¬ dedly so. At supper, Madiaon wished he had a taate of bread and milk; he ihoughfpeople in the country always had bread and milk.
" When we have a cow, we can have a pJen ty,' said Phil.
"And when will thai be?" aaked Madiaon, petulantly.
"Just aa soon as my aons can earn one," an¬ swered my mother, " You know that whatev¬ er we get, we must get with our own hands now.—Whenahall youearn a cqw, boysf she asked in an inspiring tone, just as it we could if we tried.
" Ask iMr^Jones to give ua one," said Mad¬ ison.   .
. '¦ We don't want any one to help us, when we can help ourselvea, mother says," cried Philip,' and mother, we will try and earn a cowi get it our very selves;''upon which his black oyes sparkled with interest, in contemplation of the effort.
That evening for the first time since my fath¬ er's death, did she collect her family about her wjtiiout the absence of one member, or the in¬ trusion ofa visitor. She began to apeak of it. but her voice grew huaky, and I saw a glisten¬ ing in her eye. Instinctively my hand waa within hers. Then she turned over the leaves of the great Bible, and, arose to gu to another part of the room. She. came back calmed.— •' My sons,'' she said, cheerlully, 'we have a dear little home here, and it will be a very hap py home if you all airive to do your part to make it BO ; yes, and you must help support it too; you have all something to do ; little by little day by day. use your hands to work out some good and useful end, for your mother and for each other; are you ready to?" she aaked, inspiringly, and looking at each of us with her large earneai eyes.
"Yes mother," responded Philip, quickly, "yesmother and  we   have got   to do it, havn't
'* To do and never flinch," said our mother, with great emphasis, "never grumble, never regret, when your duly is plain before you boys '*
" But when it is hard ?>' said iWadison, look¬ ing down at his feet.
" Have more courage, then, must we no* mother ! I alivays remember you lold me ao a great while ago, when I w^nt to school in a anow-storm," said Philip, looking up, with fire in his eye; "youaaid, "courage, Philip ! brave it out! don't be afraid of a snow-storm !"
Although it does my heart good to recur to these teachings nTmy mother, yet I will not now linger longer upon this evening, when she first assembled ua around the family altar, and dedicated us all to the Father of Metcy. I re¬ member how she named each name, and com¬ mended iia :o the restrainJug providence and the gracious love of our Lord and Saviour. We seemed to feel that something new had happen¬ ed to us, and that we were standing upon high¬ er and more responsible ground than wo had done before. And then, with wliat patience did she carry out her principles I " Ah," eaid Mad¬ ison the other day, '* it was sawing wood that made me." Now Madison's duty, one time, ¦ conaisted.in sawing eleven sticks of wood every morning, which duty he thoroughly hated ; not that sawing was so vcty hard, but working wae- he would rather lounge upon the green: It waa very apt to be, in bis estimation, either too warm or loo cold, or lo'o unpleasant to work, too bad some way or other, unless a troop of boys were around to inspire him. Tlie presence of Philip, or James Giles, was quite indispensible to a steady sawing, to help him or admire him, or to urge him some way or other. It happened one morning, that Philip waa gono upon some
errand, and Madison went Forth tohuimomine^o
work alono, Ii wds not loug before he appear¬ ed before our mother, begging her to come and see how well he could work, but ahe could not leave just then. He soon appeared again, com¬ plaining that the wood was too knotty; she beg¬ ged him not to be daunted by a knot, A third time he came and it was too warm to work, "too warm by half;" a fourth, and hia foot was lame, dreadfully lame ; he must give his work up that morning, he" was certain.'' Upon this, he flung himself with an air ot satisfaction into a chair. Madison was fruitful in excuses. Our mother quietly arose, and lakiilg him by the hand, led him back to the wood-house. Point¬ ing to the wood, she said with that firmness, which meana something : "There is your duty, my son. do it ; one atick at a time, and it is done : it is only saw up and saw down, patient¬ ly and courageously. Now do it—conquer it,— or you are not fit to be a man." Madison well knew there was no gainsaying her, and that it must be done ; besides, " it was only s^w up and saw down," and what was there so formida¬ ble in all that ? He began to consider, after all, that it did not appear to be much, or iTvery dif- fi»u[t work ; and it is not formidable ; but if we patiently and courageously go at it, it ia only the "saw up and saw down'' which lessens, con¬ quers, and finishes, and w»; are surprised to find what a simple businsss it is, Madison took up his saw and went to work ; little by little, saw up and saw down, patiently and courageously, and it waa done. Madison declared it waa the hardest Btruggle he ever had ; the first thing he ever peraevered in, but it was done ! The pile disappeared before hia own resoluteness.
"Yes it was the firqt time lever felt myself worth anyihing," he says, laughing ; " then I knew 1 was greater ihan a woodpile."
My mother neither praised nor paid him when the work vvas done ; she left him to the first conscious enjoyment of his ability to do, and it, was plainly visible in the firm, independent step, with which he entered ihe kitchen.
But a cow, a cow would add greatly to' our stock of comforts, and a cow my mother waa anxious of possessing As for the boys, it formed a sum total to their wishea ; ihe consummation most devoutly to be wished for. It was ascer¬ tained that Mr- Giles would eel! one of hia heif ers, " But there is no other way, but for us to earn her," said Phil, lor the hundredth lime, aa wc were talking over the matter one at- Arnoon in the empty barn ; "and ejirn her we must.—W^herc there ia a will, there is a way, ranther eaya."
" Yes, I auppose so," added Madison, reluc¬ tantly ; " but if somebody would only give us one, "—he had ceased speaking of Mr- Madiaon Jones in that light, for Mr. Madison seldom came to aee us,
" But we must not depend upon people's giv¬ ing us, or any such chance-like sort of ways, mother saya. We must look to ourselves; that's the true way," said Phil.
" I suppose ills," slowly admitted poor Mad¬ ison.
Behold three boys in Mr. Giles' mowing, field ; the smallest, a pale child, sitting under an apple-tree, with a little tin pale beside him, and watching, with delight, the movements ol hia two brothers, as they toased about the new mown hay, and longed to be with them- Alaa! his leason waa patient waiting. They worked as the Ban rose higher and higher, and the last dew-drop dried on the grass.
"I am sick of it. that's a tact," at last said the tallest, as ho tumbled upon a new-mown swathe. " Up and be doing V' said his companion ; "let's not flinch. We mttsi go through wiih whai we undertake, mother says,'' as heput his last rakeful on the cock. . .
" Butldon't wan't to. I would ratiier never have a cow than work for it," ho decliirod, la¬ zily swinging his feet much higher than his head.
" But anything that is worth having is worth working for, mother says,*' answered Philip ; '' and you know what good ihinga a cow will bring us."
'Well.I don't care. Come let's eat our lunch," and he approached the.tin pale under the apple-tree, _" Come Phil,come !"
"No, not umil I have; done more ; it is not eleven yet, not unlit the sun gels over the upper branch of that elm," said Phil, as he kept stead¬ ily on with his work. Meanwhile; Madison peered into the pail, and not only devoured his own part, hut made ample encroaphroenla upon hia brother's. He then laid bimself.down upon the grass.
" Come, Madiscn, come ! don*t' give rip ibi first day; persevere; boy,** "oritjd :Pfiii; coto-; ageously j but no, it waa too Max ':¦ id work; he' could not wotk lub hot dayi U>t all th» o^a in
the world ; he was too tired to work and pres¬ ently he fell asleep.
Alas I that this should be a specimen for the rest of the week. On Saturday night, Giles paid off his workmen. Two men were sitting in the barn talking over the week's work ; two men were leaning, in their shirt'sleeves, over the fence, discussing ihe merits of Mr. Gilea' cabbages; Philip, Madison and myself, for my brothers ware always anxious snd willing to help me along with them,—with James Giles,- were standing with the cows, patting one, pvtll- ing the ears of another, and admiring them all, especially the heifer, which we wanted to buy. Meanwhile ^r. Giles came out with his wallet, settled with the men. and laid out their plans for the next week. " Where are the boys ?'* he aaked, not seeing us. Philip and -Madison issued forth from behind the cows, somewhat hesitatingly into the presence of iheJr master.— Ho was a tall slern looking man, end not of gentle speech. The boys all about were ofraid of him, especially of invading his peach and apple orchard, for he was always sure to find them out, Mr. Giles had wonderful ubiquity about the premises, and those who did well for him, ho was sure to befriend. He eyed the boys keenly. •* Do you mean to go through the world as you have worked for me?*' he asked, ab¬ ruptly, nodding to il/adison. Madison looked down abashed; "and you," he continued, "you Philip, I know your name, for I buried a little one by that name,"—upon which the atrong man's voice grew tremulous,—"if you go through the world as you have worked for me, you will be a man, a rich man, an influential man, and a good man, I hope ; and that ia becauao you are willing to work for it.*' I looked out from be hind acow to hear the conversation. "And de¬ pend upon it, boya, as is the hatf so is the man,*' contined Mr. Gilea; "-what you are a boy, you will be a man, Philip, I will give you two shil¬ lings a day, and your brother shall have just what he has earned, namely, four pence a day ;" upon which he began to make the change.— There was a solemn pause, broken at last by low sobs. Madison was crying through aheer mortification. I remember I wanted to come to to the rescue ; and getting up to poor Madiaon'a side, I looked stoutly up into Mr. Gile'a face and said, pulling Madison's sleeve, he can saw wood, air, he can saw.** How I got the cour¬ age, I am at a loss to imagine, " Can he !'* aaid Mr. Gilea.^leasantly turning over the money in his hand, " I am glad to hear that ho ia good for something." As he gave their wages into their hands, he said in a marked tone to Philip, " I uhall be glad of your work next week, Phil- ip ;" upon which he went back into the house, leaving us standing, and for a lime, apeechleas. Philip and I looked at each other. " " I won't have any of hia. money !'» at length said Madi son, flinging hia quarter upon the ground. Phil¬ ip quickly picked it up and we walked home.— Nothing was said. Mother waa waning for ua, with our frugal meal, " And now I auppose you come with your first Saturday's earnings,'' she said, smiling at ua, through iho open win¬ dow.—Philip soberly laid in her lap, when he entered, the money, his own and JV/adison'e^— She looked at it and aaked how it thus happened. " It is too bad ! I'll never work again !'* said Madison, after we had given her all the explana tion we could, hia handkerchief still in commu¬ nication with his eyes.
"And mother. I lold Mr. Giles he could saw," said I, as if an important extenuation had been added. There waa no mistaking our mother's look, though she aaid nothing. She was griev¬ ed and anxious ; neither pity, or condolence, or blame came from her lips.
On the next evening, Sabbath evening, as we all sat on a rude bench, Philip's handy work, at the back side of the housf, with the western sky for a picture, my mother recurred to the subject. Madison had been particularly meek and obliging ail day, and hia mind, now calm, was open to the reason and instruction. " My son," said she, taking his hand and looking in his face, "do yon not know that your industrious habits must be your main dependence in this world ; that any character that ia worth having must be eatTied iy effort ? Do you not know tho^ it is only by patient courafo. that any good is £Oiien 1 She paused. " Madison, what you undertake, you muat.go through with it manfully. Will you lag and dally by the way, a burden to yourself and lo ypur frienda ?"
" I can saw,'- murmured he, looking pitifully down, "I like ta saw."
" And do you know why ?" ahe asked earn¬ estly ; ' 'it is because you have mastered the saw; you have actually conquered the wood pile ; and so conquer all difficnliiea ; work at them until they disappear before you.; then you will know how great ia your power to do ; then you will love to do.*'
" I can't rake; 1 don't like to,'' muttered Madison.
"Can't!" said she with spirit; "will my flon be conquered by a rake? What the saw could not do, shall the rake do ?''
*' No, mother,'' he answered, with a decis¬ ion uncommon to him, as he caught her spirit, then he added, looking down, "but I don't want to rake with Mr* Gile's rake."
" Then we shall never get our heifer, lor no¬ body ivill have Madiaon now Mr, Gilea turns him away," aaid Philip doloroualy, aa his heifer seemed darkened.
" Not have the heifer!" echoed I, ready to cry ; thero was a long pause. Madiaon looked as if he felt good lor nothing, as if he would give all the world to gel out of this responsible corner, Heifer or no heifer, was ihe question, snd it seemed to depend upon "him, still more upon his. work. He looked around for relief, but in the faces of neither mother or brotherdid relief appear. Hia mother had not the money lo advance, and Philip was doing all he could. " Make up your mind to go back and ask Mr. Giles to let you try it again,'' said our mother. "and then, Madiaon, take hold, with a stout heart, of what ia before you, and do it: and never flinch; and then sho told us how every thing truly valuable waa to be earned by strug¬ gling and effort, and long striving, whicli alone could open heaven to ua.
In the morning, Aladison appeared with a sor. ry air. He wo-i undecided and tbareforo unhap¬ py. How many inefficient boys of eider growth can sympathize with him ! Coveting the fruit of industry. Yet incapable and unwilling to put shoulder to shoulder and hand to hand in the great battle of life.
At an early hour hej,vent to his saw. Little by little, one stick at a time, he finished the wood necessary for the day. "I have done this," aaid he to himself ; " I have done it,—it is only saw up and saw down ; what we want is to the point and then act, mother says." Ho stooped and surveyed his position, the heifer, Philip, his mother, and last, though not least, his reputation. " I must," he declared, stamping hia foot firmly on a slick, " I must make up make up my mind mother aays, and then do it." Upon this, he turned and walked into the house.
"Mother, I will go to Mr. Giles'," he said, entering the kitchen, and planting himself be- fore her at his full height; the atoop in hia back actually disappeared. She looked at him, and her countenance expteased all he could wish.— I do not know what passed between him and Mr. Giles, but Madison came home that even, ing in the highest spirits. " Mother!" he ex claimed, '* I should like lo bo a farmer. I like farming, firsirate." It was easy enough to see (hat hia habits went with his will, and thoy both went right, fle felt the genuine joy of conquering himself and achieving a work. Madiaon hsa since seen ihat when well nigh giving up, or when he began to lag by the way, he cried aloud to hia lagging energiea, " Do it !do it! astoul heart, mother says. Ii I can saw I can rake; and after ¦all it is only saw up and saw down. I must do it myself, or nobody will," and away flew the rake over the hay.
It was the third year of our residence in the one-Biory bouse, on a pleaaant September after¬ noon, that Bessy entered the yard. Philip be¬ hind her. Madieon by hoc side, now and then patting her affectionately; mother and I went lo the barn door to await her arrival.
" It is ours, our cow !'' I exclaimed in ecata- cy.
"isshe not a bhauiy, mother?" exclaimed Madison, driving her so as to display hor broad side to the beat advantage. " One of the best heifers that Mr. Giles bad,'' he says. " Qh. mother, wbere's lbs new pail ? I learned all about milking over to Mr. Giles*. See her bag'; is it not a beauty, mother 7" As Philip threw back his hat, showing his sun-burnt features, lighted up with interest, he looked the imper¬ sonation ofa bright, etaatic, healthy boyhood; I Needlsay, that iiieverwas mtlk sweeter, ni¬ cer* nchei:,-Bweeter than that.

ed the awceis ot schievemont, as well as the sweet milk. From that tiiiie,,MBdiiwh never grumbled; a change bad been gradually wrought in his character.' He understood what a power he pOfTBessed of doing; and he flang of bis loung¬ ing, indolent, coropjainiiig l-ibita- Ah, otir mother understood agreai servei, the importance of giving boys something todo,'aiid make them work it resolutely to the end ; Ihe activities of boyhood need to be disciplined, and directed.— Boys weary of continued play, and wish for something to accomplish. Give it to tnem, and then compel steady, persevering effort, till it is finished. In the end they are belter and happier hoys for it. It is the only preparatory training to fit them for success in business, and for stea¬ dy well directed effort in ratfiore life. And this is one reason, why the country possesses advan¬ tages over the city, in the (raining of boya. In the country, there is something for them to dot and space tor them to do it in ; in teaching children to become useful, parents need much forbearance, and great resolution. The awk¬ ward, bungling, or reluctant attempts are dis¬ couraging and vexatious, and a father will of¬ ten angrily send offhis boy, and do^tho thing himself, in far better style, rather than take trouble to teach, and to encourage the son to execute it. It was not so with our mother in the garden, the barn, and the woodhouae; her looks, and words of encouragement everywhere presi¬ ded. She gradually accustomed ua to active duty, assigned lo each some work to do, and following it up, until it was done, and well done. She inspired us with energy, and cheerfulness, and made us relish -the work, and bade us wit¬ ness the good results flowing from industrious habits. Ah, it is our mother, who has made us what we are.
And now we have just returned, returned from ihia dear home of our boyhood, no longer the dingy, yellow,o ne aiory house, but a com¬ modious dwelling of two stories, with ^ ample poriico in front, and tho^ shadows of honey¬ suckle ond accacia, inviting ua to linger there. It belongs to Philip, the indefatigable fruit grower. Look into his nurseries and gardens ; they are yojmg yet, but is it not enough to de¬ light one's eyes, to say nothing of the taste? They are the work of his own hands. His vi¬ cinity to the city affords him an eiiensiv^ mar¬ ket, and he has alreody exceeded his most san¬ guine expectations. Look at his houso and the young shrubbery growing so luxurianily in every direction. There is a little bedroom, in that house, which ia a more interesting object still. It is nearly on the site of the old bed-room It commands a beautiful view of the garden and of the western sky, and of the distant pasture, .where Bossy's descendants are quietly grazing, and there at the window is our beloved mother in the rocking chair. She is old and infirm now ; but though her eye is dim, her heart waxes not old. It ia full of love and gratitude and she blesses God for her .boys. " Such sons!*' she saya. And who under God, baa made us what we are ? Our brother Philip still seeks her direction, and advice, about every¬ thing concerning him; and iiia Mary regards her with reverential love, while in little Jane, —Jenny, we pet her—she seeraa to perpetuate her youth. Her lost davs, seem her best days. How do Madison and I rejoice to leave the dry, dusty city, for a Sabbath at Philip's, The Sab- bath is truly, a Sabbath there.su peace-making^ and lull ol love,
Madiaon holds an important post in the exten¬ sive firm of " Giles ^ Co," Ho is a younger brother of old Giles, the farmer, Madiaon'a first master, who now gives him as warm a welcome as any one in the village. Do you remember the morning that you came back lo work? Buj thank-your mother for that, said the old gentle¬ man chuckling and shaking. , Madiaon earned the character which Mr. Gilea give of him to his brother. Behold, what it has gained for him.. It is Monday morning, ond we have just re¬ turned to town. I never enter the city and my office, after leaving PhiHp'a without feeling myaell abetter man; a more tranquil, sober home loving, God-feeling man; and shall I not add it, a greoier shrinking from the toila and perplexities of city life. But "never flinch," sounds in my ear,—" take hold with a stout heart, my son, ol whatever Ues before ;" and the well remembered accent of my mother's voico, prompt me to duty. But sad news awaits me. Cousin Madiaon Jones is dead. He died poor, and a broken hearted desolate old man. His sons have ruined him. Ungoverened, idle aud dissolute, they have brought his grey nairs in sorrow io the grave,— The last time I saw him, it was my happiness to befriend him. "Thank ye! thank ye!" he exclaimed, kindly and gratefully. I could no' realize the proud rich man, who was the terror of my boy-hood. You ore a dear boy—a dear boy ! I see your mother had the right oi ii;— Jane waa right ; she taught you not to be afraid of work. That big yard and barn wasn't for nothing ;—if I could live my life over again !" upon which he drew a deep sigh, and arose to go.
Poor cousin iUadison! Ah, yes 1 I would say to all cousin Madisona, that we were early in¬ doctrinated, patiently and courageously, to sa'x up and saw down," that was the secret of moth¬ er's management, and of overcoming the thous and obstaclea to advancement and success, which yuung men without property and influential Irienda. must necessarily meet with, in the great world of business, and if necessary for the bu- aineaaof the outward, how much for the inward [He, is this patient courageous, pains-taktng course? Does it not constitute that striving which the Saviour speaks of, by which we can alone secure peace and purity, God's blessing' and heaven at last ?
Domestic Beoipes-
To Boil Ham.—Cut some slices of ham a quarter of an inch thick, soak them in hot wat¬ er for half an hour, or give them a scalding in a pan over the fire; then take them up and lay them on a gridiron, over bright coals ; when the outside is browned, turn the other; then take the slicea on a hot dish, butter them freely, aprinivle pepper over, and serve.— Or, after actildiug them, wipe them, dip each slice in beaten eggs, then into rolled crackcrsi and fry or broil.
Skippers in Bacon.—l cure my htrnia with aalt, sugar and saltpetre ; after remaining down tour weeks, as I take up the hama from the salt, I rub each piece on the fiesh aide with fine black pepper, aird then hang up and smoke, a dark brown color, with green hickory wood ond then let it hang until wanted for use. Some¬ times thby have hung two years. Before I com¬ menced uaing the pepper, I had to take my bams down and pack ihem in ashes in the spring of the year. The above plan will prevent akip- pers in bacoij.
Corn. iJr-earf.—Everybody who hasCeen at the Aliinsion House, at Buffalo, New York, has learned the luxury of the corii bread there pro¬ vided. The clerk is often taxed to write direc- tiona for home manufacture, and I thus procured a. receipe lor domestic use, which I copy for you, BO that those who may wish may try a piece of bread from the Mansion. It is aa follows *' One quart of sour milk, two tablespoon&ful of saleralus, four ounces of butter, three table spoonatul of flour, three, eggs, and corn mea) sufScient to make a stiff batter.
jffbia lo mend Broken China or Glasttoare.— Mrs. William Shelton, of Frankford, Pa., sends us the followingrocipaformendingbroken china or glassware ; wa do not know that the discov¬ ery is original with Mrs.'S., but she has long used it with invariable sucess. Take unslaked lime, madefin^by pounding or grinding, which mix with the white of an egg to the consistence of starch or paint; thoroughly cleanse and dry the edgea to be united, then apply the mixture to the parts to be cemented, place them together firmly, and let them become perfectly dry, Ar- ricles thus mended can be handled or washed without injury.
Chicken Pie.— Joint the ehickena, which should be young and tender—boil them in just suf¬ ficient water to cover them. When nearly ten¬ der, take them out of the liquor, and Jay them in a deep pudding dish, lined with pie crust.— To each layer of chicken, put three or four slices of pork—add a little of the liquor in which they were boiled, and a couple of ounces of butter, cut into amal.l pieces—sprinkle a liitle flotir over the whole, cover it with nice pie crust, and or¬ nament the top with some of y.ourpaatry. Bake ^t^n a quick oven one hour,
Jtfa/irt*:—Mix a quart of wheat flour smooth¬ ly with.a/pmt and a half of lake woLrra milk, have.a teacup of yeasl, a couple of beaten eggs, a heaping tea sgponful of salt, and a couple of.ta- bbspoonfalBof liikairt^iiieUedLbuiter. Set the battw in a wana pltw, to riw.  Whw Ughti
Lemon Pie.—For one pie, take a couple Of good.sized sweet lemons, squeeze out the juice, and mix it with half a pint of molasses, or snf- ficient sugar to make the juice sweet. Chop the peel, line deep pie plates with your pastry, then sprinkle on a layer of yotir chopped leinon peel,, turn in part of the mixed sugar or molasses and juice, then cover the whole with pie crust. roiled very thin—put in another layer of peel, sweetened juice, And crust, and so on till all the femon'is used. Cover the whole with a thick, crust, and bake the pie about half an hour. . Dyspepsia Bread.—Three quarts of unboiled wheat meal j 1 quart ol soft warm water ; a gill of fresh yeast, a gill of molasses; 1 tea spoonful ofaalaralus. This will make two loayea, and should remain -in the oven at least two hours. -It wilfneed from eight to twelve hours to rise.
Pound Cake.—One pound dried sifted flour, the same of loaf sugar, and the whites ql i\velve eggs and the yolks ol seven. Beat the butter to a cream, add the sugar by degrees, then the eggs and flour ; beat it sU well together for an hour, mixing a table spoonful ofroae water, a little nhtniegor cinnomon. two cups of cream, and a tea spoonful of safaratus. To be baked in a quick oven.
Breakfast Butter Cakes.—One quart of sour milk, one tea spoonful aalaratus, a little salt, one and a half cups of boiled rice, two table spoonfuls of molaeees or hall cup of eu.gar, a tit' tic ginger, and flour enough to make a stiff bat- ter.
Butter Cakes for tea.—Beat two egg's, put them in half pint of milk, and a tea cup ofcteam with half a tea spoonful of ealaratus dissolved in the cream, a little salt, cinnamon and a liiUe rose water if you like, stir in sifted flour till the batter is smooth and ihick. Bake them on a griddle or in a pan. Butter the pan well, drop the batter in small round cakes and quite thin. They must be turned and nicely browned. Lay them on a plate in a pile, with a Utile butter between each layer..
To Sweeten Handd Butter.—It is said that washing rancid butter in milk, and afterwards in water, will restore to former aweetness. The experiment is sasily tried, and the "consum¬ mation devoutly lo be wished," for surely noth¬ ing is more repulsive than rancid bntter-
To Secure Bacon from the Fly.—A writer iu the American Farmer recommends as an infal¬ lible remedy against the fly : When your bacon is smoked early in the spring before the fly has made its appearance, take quick lime slacked to a dry powder, and rub the meat thoroughly on every part with it leaving it adhere as much as posflible ; hang up your meat, and rest aecure from any trouble from inaecta.
Grease for Carriage Wieels.—Tins compo¬ sition prevents friction to a great extent. Its cost ia not comparatively greater than the ma?o- rials often employed for the' purpose; it is not changed by heat, and hence does not liquify and flow away from its proper plocoo i Black lead pulverised 50 parts by weight. Hogs lard 50   do do
White soap 50   do dn
Quicksilver 5   do do
Amalgamate well the lard and mercury by robbing them logeather lorn long time in a mortar ; then gradually add the black lead, and lastily the soap, mixing the whole as perfect ag possible.
The Unknown Trades of Paris.—" Tho Paris correspondent of the N. V. Times, write, under this head that:
This gucBser of reb-usaes and riddlea is making a rapid fortune. At the Gaffes, the reading rooms, the clubs where people cluster in num¬ bers to read the illustrated papers, there is a natural desire to know the solution to the picto¬ rial charades and enigmas, without waiting the issuo of the next week's number. A man with B natural tact at resolving mem, has made a trade of it. He gels the paper before any one else is up at 8 o'clock, and sets out in his rounds with the desired explanation. He sells the se¬ crets to the heads of the various establishments, charging each person five sous, and thus earns fitly francos a rebus. As thero are three a week' lie niakflii $1,500 a year. He spends but a third ol this and invents a thousand per annum. This has been going on for a Jong time, ond hia savings amfiunt to a very pretty sum. He wil have a house of his own before a great whiiel snd Will retire toa country life.
M'lle Rose, a raiser of ants, earns 30 francs a day. She has.'corresp on dents in all.the depart¬ ments, and never receives less ihan 20 bags o day. She makes them lay when ehe likes, and can get from them, as she says,, ten times what they would produce in a state of nature. She aetls the eggs to the Garden of Plants, aa good for certain species of birds; to the pheasant raisers of the environs, and to apothecaries for sundry medical purposes. M' He Rose lives and sleeps in tho midst of her insects, and the skin of her whole body has grown insensible to their biles. She is as callous all over as though she were a universal corn. The police lately made her remove from .Paris to an isolated house be¬ yond the harriers.
Mr. Latagotoa kills cats at night, and sells the fur to muff makers, who persuade grisetla that it is a cheap kind of Siberian sable.
Mr. Lecog, haa made artificial cocks' combs for ragouia, 39 years: A neighboring machinis' furnishes him with steam power, and he manu¬ factures the article froin ox and aheep tongues. Ho produces some ten thousand a day, and- sells them at tho rate of thee cenia per dozen M. Lecog could live upon his income but he con¬ tinues the'trade nevertheless.
M. Deahaies hunts a species ofharmksssnake in the hedges, which he sells for^eela. There are five hundred sellcra of eels in Paris, ond M. Deachais in somewhat a rival with his snakes. These furnish a good fry at the barrier eating bouses.and M. Deshasies lives a*happy,careleBs, and roaming existence in the woods, dressed like a leather Stocking, ana earning fifty dollars a month.
Ah Enl-arqement op the Head.—An ac¬ quaintance of ours who had a slight affection of the head several wecKs, became alarmed a few dayn since, and took the matter so much at heart that he fully persuaded himself that his head waa growing unusually large. It became a set¬ tled conviction in^is own mind, that it was afasolutely Bwelling..|^ few nights since, after takinghifl wife to church, he had occasion to leave and attend ameeting of an asaotiiation to which he belonged. He was very uneasy while there, occasionally feeling his head, and finally i bolted again to (he church, to get hia wife and go iminedidtely home. In the hurry ot leaving, he picked up another man'4 hat, vastly too small for him. snd in full run, clapped it on his head.^Vhat was his horror to find that it wouldn't begin (o fit! In vain he tried to press it over hia aching brow, but the beaver wouldn't yield a particle. This only strengthened his conviction in relation to hitf growing head, and with the utmos^ speed he gained the church just as it was breaking up and the people retiring- Tho con¬ gregation were amazed at his absent manner in calling for hia wife and then a doctor. " What is the matter I'' said one. " Oh, matter enough ! My head is getting aa large as the court hoitse dome ; a doctor, quiok!'? In a few minutes a physician who was present, came forward, but couldn't satisfy him ihat his head had no extra bulk. He finally prescribed free bleeding and cupping on the back of his neck. The patient and his wife started home and called on the way on a cupper and leecber to get hia aaaistance in the matter. Just as tho man of cups was about to commence operations, the lady observed that her huaband had a strange hat, and immediately informed him of the facta He looked at it carefully for a moment, and bis strange fancy ol a swelled head aeemed to give wayunderthediscIoHure, andat once he diapen- aed with the bloody preparations to reduce it.
The joke got out, and he has been not a little tormented by his companions, who run him a great deal about the enlargement of his head, although he is not altogether convinced yet but that it is getting bigger.—5(. Louis Republican-

Moral Suasio;s oy a Ram.—When a friend of ours, wham we call Agricoia, waa a boy, he lived on a form in Berkshire county, tho owner of which was troubled by hia dog Wolf. The cur killed hia sheep, knowing, perhaps, that his master waa conacicntuoualy opposed lo capital punishmont, and ho could devise no means to prevent it.
" T can break him of it," said Agricoia, " if you will give me leave,"
" Thou art pormiited,'' said the honest farm¬ er ; and we will let Agricoia tell the story in his words,
'•There waa a ram on tho farm,''said Agri- cola, " as notorious for hutting as Wolf was for sheep killing, and who stood in aa much need of moral suasion aa the dog. I shut Wolf up in tho barn with this old fellow, and the coiise quence was, that the dog never looked a sheep in the face again. Tho ram broke every bone in his body, literally. Wonderlully uplifted was the ram aforesaid, by his exploit ; his insolence became intolerable ; he was sure to pitch into whomsoever went nigh him. " I'il fiv him said.I, and sol did. I rigged an iron crow-bar out of a hole in the barn, point foremost, and hung an old hat on the end of it. You can't al¬ ways iell, when you see a hat, whether thero ia a head in it or not; how then should a ram 1 Ariss made at it full butt, and being a good marksman from long practice, the bar broke in between his horns, and came out uiider his tail* This little admonition efTeciually cured him of hutting."

" I have just retid in your paper what has often before been pubhahed, respecting the curious properties of the figure 9. One ol these propcr- tieB is oi importance to all book keepers and occoumania to know, and which I have never seen [TubliBhed. I accidentalEy found it it out^ and iba discovery to me, Ohougb it may i^'^vo bean'well known to others before,) has often been of essential service in settling complicated acconnis.   Itia this:
The difference between any transposed num¬ ber is always a multiple o(9; tor instance, suppose, on accountant or book keeper cannot prove or balance hia accounts--there is a differ¬ ence between his debiis and crodile, which he cannot account lor, after careful and repeated addinga. Let him then see i! this difference can bo divided by 9. without any remainder. Il it can, ho may be aesitred that hiserror most prob* ably lies in his having aomowhero transported figures ; that is to say, he has put down 92 for 29, 63 for 38,- &c., with any other tranaposttion. The difference of ony such iratiBpasition ia al¬ ways a maUiple of9. The knowledge of this wilt at once direct attention to the truesource ef ecrofi and uve.tfae labor ot adding up often loiig coltimnsof figures. The differvnca between 92 ¦md 29 is 63.
