THE TUTOE'S TRIAL.
There are Sre; trials in these days as in the days of old. Onr trembling, shrinking sonls pass throngh them^-and whether trinmphant or conqnered, are no more scatheless than were the feet of the victims of bj-gone snper^ stition.
When a yoang man of twenty-tbree, in myj first tntorship, I paased throngh mine.
I was edacated for the chnrob, bnt before my studies were complete, my health ntterly failed, and several yeara were spent in endea¬ voring to regain it, by rest and travel. It wae partially restored, bnt I fonnd that every at¬ tempt at severe stndy, bronght back tbe same frightful headaches. I then sought an easy tutorship to maintain my' independeuce.
I was staying at the house of a frieud when iu answer to my advertisement the first appli¬ cation came. I was seated in the library, ad¬ joining the parlor, and overheard the conver¬ sation between the gentlemau, who wished for my services, and my friend.
" I require," said tbe former, " a gentleman aud a scholar, but above all thiugs, a high minded peracn, who will have a jnst seuse of his res(OusibUlty, aud be able to inspire r«8peot. He must be qualified to teach the modem langnages, drawing and music. I should decidedly objeot to his being either youug 01 handsome.'*
"My friend Kennedy," waa the reply, "an¬ swers yonr description exactly, except that he ia young, but an uglier fellow never lived.— He wonld suit you perfectly iu that respect— aud iu having a gentle, uuasaoming diguity, lux, lus.,—I will riug aud aak if he is at home."
I was summoned. I suited the gentlemau, Mr. De Ville, exacilj—humph!
The next month saw me iuatalled in office in hia sonthern home—not exactly in office either, for my pupil had uot retnmed ftom a viait to her aunt. I sat, however, in the Bohool room, a most Iniurions apartment, opening on a verandah, aud looking down across the lawu to tbe live oak woods, with their long swinging moss, whence engaged the hard, well kept road to the honse. Throngh a vista nature left open ou pnrpose. I could Bee the lazy oceau basking iu ita autnmn haze. Directly uuder the window was the front door of the mansion. I was aitting at this window, awaiting with some curiosity the arrival of Miaa Clara De Ville, aud her escort of broth¬ ers, who were to approach by the forest road before mentioned.
I heard them long before I saw them, and I could distinguish a girl's merry laugh above the trampling and snorting of the horses, aud the deep, hearty voices of her jovial escort.— All this was like a romance to me. I felt as if I were iu one of Walter Scott's novel's. I thonght of Sasbleigh Osbaldiatone and tbe captivating Di Vemon.
As the party neared tbe honse, I saw that no Di Vemon waa approaching, though the lady was a graceful rider. Her flgure waa petite, bnt fully developed, but her face was the faoe of a ohild. Th'e'soft, rich, rosy oom- flexiori, large dark eyea, olnatering hair, and the simplicity of expression, made it look to me like one of Grouse's sweetest baby faces, animated into quick, healthful life. Every feature was fine, bnt rounded, and dimpled like a ohertfb's.
As her stalwart brotber approaobed to lift her from her horse, she clasped- her arms arouud hia neck, and almost blinded him witb kiBSes while he carried ber in.
I fell in love at flrst sight! Had I oome here for this? Mr. DeVille had naturally guarded his daugbter from the dangers of a handsome tutor. Why had I not inquired wbether the beauty of my pupil was likely to emperil my peaco of mind ?
Clara was only fifteen, and intensely igno¬ rant, especially of all oouventionalitiea, from being motherless and sisterless. At flrst abe treated me as if I were a thouaand yeara old¬ er and wiser than hersrlf—mnoh as other Bohool-girls treat their teachers, with a mixture of fear aud respect. I oonld not bear tbis; 1 bad a right to encourage her to feel a certain degree of aflectiou for me—a scanty meaaure indeed—and soon won.
Then sbe freely gave me more, mada me her coufldeuti that iB, told me her quarrels with ber brothers, when ehe got into any, grumbled becauae her father would not let her go hunting with them, and fonnd fault with her aunt. If ehe waa uot snfflciently indulgent . to ber little ladyship in the matter of dresses and sweetmeats.
And this baby beld my beart in her haud ? Bveu so.
A year paased by.   I taught her with my wliole heart, and she acquired surprisingly Yet Bhe remained, in manner, as child-
fait.
11^ tB betore, and abnoBt every day her art¬ less worda brought terma' of endearment to my lip« that I dared not utter. I tried to re¬ main only the tesoher and friend.

Mammy tfall^, had enljr. InibnudlMtof her batrothal one time when ahe mu fo a paaaion, io amnae and paoUy her. She had promiaed with hsr haod on ths Bible, that she would never bstiay hsrknswisdgs of it. Then ahe looked ap aSrighted, and'Bald, "And I hare jost broken mypromlBs! Oh, Bir. Kennedy, what doea make me tell yoa everthing 1"
" It was wrong in old Nelly to exact anch a promise, and worse BtiU. to betray the confi¬ dence reposed In her."
" Bnt yon wouldn't tell on her, would yoa t She woald be panished, yon know."
She smoothed my oheek imploringly as I eat beside her deak.
•'Old HeUy deaervas npthing belter," I re¬ pUed, only to be more peranaded.
Bbe stole her arm around my neck, and looked into my face with such bewitching Bweetneas, tbat I said, hnrredly, with a falter¬ ing tongne and butnlug brow,
" No, no, my darling, Nelly is safe. Her disgrace wonld be yonr suffering, and yonrs a bundred fold mine," aud there waa more in my tone than my words. • -
I felt like a guilty wretch the next moment, for witb an awakened, puzzled look aud a quick motion, the little carressing band was withdrawn, aud a vivid blush Buffosed her downcast faoe.
iniat miBohidf might I uotliava occasioned? Clara's aunt Olivia, the duenna of the sohool room. Usually alept prpfoimdly in her bamboo easy-chair thronghont the lessons—as oomfor- Uble a dnenna as oan be imagined. Bnt after tbat I bad rather ehe bad been as fierce and wakeful a dragon ss ever guarded damsel, so mnch did I fear myself, and tbat I might not have auffioient atrength of mind to hold that young heart at a diatance; that beart that I longed to iuapire witb the warmth of mine, inatead of repelling it.
Ofcourae, my manner became cold and re¬ strained. Clara felt it instantly, and shrank from me. She no langer oame with childish coufidence, but kept a humble and reserved sUence. She waa grieved too, fori often caught her brimming eyea reating sadly on my face. Deer-bunting was a favorite sport with faer brothers. Clara had often petitioned ber father to let her go once with them. Mr. De Ville at last gave his consent, provided I would go, not as a participant; bnt simply as her protec¬ tor, lest intereat in the chase should lead me to forget her, or consent to some rash riding. A party of yotmg gentlemen from the neigh¬ boring, plantations, among them WilUam Merkely, were to go with us. It was a gay, light-hearted cavalcade that set forth that morning. Bven I felt a4 if I swept the sky in elation, when we daahed forward on onr eager steeds. Clara was fuU of exuberant joy, and I could not keep my eyes from dwelling on her beauteous face, as ws subsided iuto sn easy gait, and rode side by side.
My coantenance, ugly as it' was, knew how t'otsUita'Uleeloqnently, andthe tale it told gave pleasure, thongh both the giving aud re¬ ceiving were nnoonsoiotia.
We uniutentially lagged behind the reat of the party, and where the sweeping moss hung like a inisty veil - around ua, Clara turned blnahing to m. and riding cloaer said:
" Mr. Keunedy, you have not lost all reapect for ma ?"
. I was extremely aurprised, aud stammered, "What do you mean Miss Clara I" " I abould bave told you bafore how very aorry I have been, and how wiUing to do bet¬ ter, but yon were 86 displeased I did not dare." 1 felt myself growing more and more cou- foaed, nlore and more crimaon.   I veutured no reply, and she continued.
Of cotfrae, it waa a wicked tbing to break eo solemn a promiae, even if it waa made only to Blammy NeUy."
I gave a aigh of relief. I thonght or feared at first that she alluded to herobUdlBh caresses. "I thank yon for letting me kuow by yonr displeasure how serions my f^ult waa, bnt I am glad you ars going to smile upon me ilgain."
" Heaven itself smiles upon you I" I could Hot help replying.
"Ah, 1 will never break a promise again after this lesson, truat me, "she said solemnly; and theo with her peculiar appealing look, added, boiding out ber hand, " 1 am entirely forgiven ?"
" Snrely," I anawered, not daring to bold her hand a moment, leat the impulse to press it to my Upa Bhould maater me. Having my fbrgiveneas aeemed to make her sapremely happy, fer ahe laughed alond, and giving the I'ein to her ambitioua horse, we were Boon Eipeeding forward like the wiud to overtake the party.
The wooda had been encircled by huntamen. We found ourselves near WUliam Merkely, *bo dofled hia cap, when we rode np ; his (lonntenanoe brightening witb the hope of dis- tisgniablng himaelf before Clara. He waa a handsome feUow, witb a fine manly form, and resolute gallant bearing. His blue eyes and bright hair canaed me a pang of jealousy. I *atched Clara. She waa baahful aud silent perbaps becanae ahe snapeoted he knew nf their early allotment to each other; bnt ahe looked very like a girl iu the presence of Iiim Ahe iover, and I trembled with doubt.
The citcle of huntera drew cloaer, and aud¬ denly a deer sprang throngh ibe'underbrush, it pretty head turued back to look at its pur- Bueis.
"Savett! Oh, don't kiU it!" cried Clara, as she saw WilUam taking aim, his face fierce With a htinter'a eagemeas.
Tho excitement, the instinct of the sports¬ man overcame hia momeutaiy hesitation, he fired, bis ball paaaed juat behind its eara, it aprang ferward and fell dead iflmoat at our hoisea' feet.
WiUiani gave a ahout of deiigbt; Clara Boieamedandhid her eyes, theu burat iuto teara. I led her horae away, but ahe took her haud fiobi her face and looked back, juat as M«rkeley stood over the deer, and sounded a qnick caU on hia hnnting-hom.
I observed with indignation, tbat Clara Waa utterly forgotten in tbe excitement of victory, and felt that should she marry Uetkeley, she would one day be a neglected wife. I observed alao, that be looked romanUc aud handsome enongh to be Bobin Hood iiimaelf, and again I glanced uneaaUy at Clara. Her eyes flaahed with contempt, and ahe exclaiined.
'' Horrid aavage!" again burating into teare, and adding, " How oonld be kiU that pretty creature that was running to him, aa if for protection I   I Late him aa I do a butcher."
I felt ashamed of a aecret joy, and, there¬ fore, defended WiUiam Merkeley, and aaked her what she expected to see at a deer-bunt.
She begged me to take ber home. I said we could not leave party withont mentioning onr intention of runniug. So we turned our horaes' beads and rode back,'juat in time to see Merke - ley .with tbe deer's taU in his oap, take hia place, proudly, at the front of the party. This distbicUDn, witnessed by Clara, made his oolor mount high, and he threw disdainfol glances at me, probably feeUng that I was only a would be rival, and one to be scorned.
The hnuters were glad to excuse as doubt¬ less, for after poUte expresaionfl of regret, they immediately proposed jriding to a more distant and better hnnting ground. They wiahed ns a pleasant ride home,'and several advanced to payafewparting compUments to Clara, amoug them'WUUam Merkeley. He pushed eagerly forward, canyhiighiB gun very carelessly. The trigger oaught ou some part of the harneas, and the gun going o^ the oharge entered ny arm.
No one wbo haa not reoeived a ahot, knows the stonning shook it gives one. I waa lean¬ ing over^ adjusting Clara's onrb-rein, -and the fint I khew ot my mishap was that I waa nn¬ der her horse's feet. He reared, but there were stroug hands hear to control him-and (ave heif.

apon monqtlngand accompanying Clara home. Her yonnger brother, and WiUiam Merkeley, who apologized moodUy for hia clamBiness, oSeied to go with ns, the party to await their return; and we setout. Clara tacitly refnaed to leave my side, BO the two yoang men rode in fnnt, talking over their sport, and we fol¬ lowed in sUence. I, pale from loss of blood, Clara fnm terror she lisd sufi'ered. She often asked me gently it I felt mucb pain. Qrada aUy she began tp talk more as nsnal, aud at lengtfa leaned forward to wfalsper almost In my ear.
" My fatfaer's plana are thwarted, for I wiU never, never marry William Merkeley;"
Arrived at the maoBion, William stood ready to assist Clara to dismount. I saw her frown and pretend to be engaged in hanging her whip on the pommel, I alighted qnickly, although I felt the bloood, wblch bad oeaaed flowing, gnah from my wound, and approach¬ ed to give her my band. Bhe tonched the nin, met me half way, and placing her hand on my shonider, sprang lightly down. With a cold good morning to Mr. Merkeley, ahe en¬ tered the houBe.       - ¦     '
Young De VlUe recommended me to faia aunt's care, aud the two genllemeu rode off. Misa OUvia made me Ue down o'u tbe draw¬ ing nom Bofa, and sent for lint and bandsgee. Remeinberiug after taking off some of tbe handkerctiiefs, that alie had written directiouB for the trealment of gnn-ahot wonndB Jnsome forgotten drawer, she left me to Bearch for them. The lessened pressure let .the blood fiow freely. I grew very faiut. I tried tb call for aid but could not raiae my head or make a sound. Tfae frighteued blaoka who surround¬ ed me ran for Miaa De Ville. They met Clara jnat outaide tfae door, and I heard tbem ex¬ claim that I was dying.
Sfae came in, trying to faasten, but almoat fainting at every atep. Sfae sank down be¬ side tfae sofa speechleBS, ber head on my Bhoolder, and her cheek to mine.
Again tbe blood sprang from my wound with tfae bonnd of my heart, but I dared not give way to feeling or lose my presence of mind.
"Miss Clara," 1 made an effort to say, "do not be abumed, I am only a Uttle faint. Be 80 kind as to bring me some water."
Clara raised ber head with a sigh, and aent a servant for it. Then oor eyea rested on eqnally pale countenanceB. 1 oonld uot bear to Bee faer suffering ao aeverely witb aympa- thy for me, and said, " Go, dear pupil* You muat uot stay here. " I wiU stay," she answered paasionately, " Who BhaU make me go 7 Not father - nor aant. I oare a thouaand times more for you than either. I wiU die if you die. IwUlnot Uve without you, I caunot."
" For heaven's Bake, hush," I cried, in alarm glancing uneaaily at the sable faces around
UB. y
She aent them away witb a quick, imperious geature.
' " Wow," She murmured, " now let me alay, let me teU yon before you die. Oh it I wera dying I would beg to bave yon near me! I wonld not seud you away."
I cculd say no more, but fainted outright, thongh the ory Clara uttered penetrated my insensible eara. It recalled her aunt, aud tbey were endeavoring to reousaitate me wben the snrgeou arrived.
In a weak I was able to resume my duties agaiu, tfaougfa stiU rather weak—bull had lime for refleotion, and I knew I was in honor bonnd to resign my situation, and leave Clara lo forgel her cbildish affection, which now threatened to ripen into a deeper feeling.
My bitter trial was beginning. I had aeen notbing of her during my sUgfat lllneaa, .be¬ cauae tbey aaid her nerves had received a aevere ahock, and it was best not to let her see my pale face, leal it shonid recall her alarm.
The surgeon having giveu me permisBion to ride ou horseback, I reaolved lo leave tfae next day; aud ou tfae evening before my departure, I lay upon the schoal-room lounge, looking towards the west, where the vivid red met tbe star-Bpangled black of the npper sky with a strange tropical effect, no medinm, no half tints, nor IwUigbt.
I thought bitterly of the aaciifice honor re¬ quired of me. My heart yearning for Clara's love, I'mnat leave .behind me every chance of ever obtaining it. And wheu I thought of her aweet loveliness, and of tbe child-Uke, but moat ardent and unexpected affection for me Bbe had manifested so lately, I groaned in apirit to think that I muat baniah myaelf, re- midn forever a discontented, restless, sad man. I was absorbed in grief, and did not hear a footstep, or suspect a presence nutil I felt a soft, young cheek preaaed to tbe baud tfaat afaaded my eyea, and tben many kiaaes, gently,
rapidly falling on my brow ^Tfaen I beard
the throbbing panting heart they came from. I arose dizzily and sealing Clara, stood before her for a moment in silence, pasaionate words thronging to my lips, bnt vehemently re- preaaed by a aense of right.
While thus combatting my thonghta Clara was weeping. At last ahe spoke worda that petrified me.
".Father is very angry with me. He says he wUl no longer oall me danghter. I have come to you for comfort. You are good and kind and dear to me."
"¦Why ia he displeased?" I aaked, with effort.
" Mr. Merkeley proposed for my band to¬ day.   Father gave his consent and,8eut him lo me.   I refnsed Bim."     • " Aud yonr reaaon ?"
"IdisUkehlm. Oh, why wiU they force me from my school-room ? Why cau't 1 be a child a liltle while yet ? Aa long as you will teach me I never want lo grow into a young woman. Why mnst they take me from this dear old school room ?"
I reaolved to speak now of my departure, Ihough not to give tbe true reasou for it.
" But my dear pupU, you are a young wo¬ man, and the scfaool-room is yonr place no longer. Do yoii not know Ifaat my stay here as your teacher is to be very short now ?"
" Oh, no, no, no," she oried, in an eager, frightened tone, holding up ber clasped bauds; but almost instantly she buried ber ^e in tbem and remained silent.
'.'Yea,"l Baid, "very aoon—and Clara, aa tbis qniet room lias been witness to onr bappy stndiea and hours of conversation, I wish it to be tbe scene of onr fareweU. And tlus dusky summer eve wiU conceal any unmanly emo¬ tions, so I wiU say fareweU now—and, Clara, it is loo painful to be bome longer, and ao— fareweU forever."
I placod my band for one moment upou her bowed head, and afraid to stay longer lest either she or I might be hurried into fond, indiscreet words, I left the room and went straight to Mr. DeVille.
He was pacing the drawing-room impatient¬ ly. I kuow be was chafing at bis daughter's opposition to his long-cherished plana. Before I could speak, he said,
"Mr. Kennedy, I wish ttf consult you. Yoa bave muoh influence wilb my danghter, and can prevaU upon her, I hope, to listen to reason."   He tben staled tbe case.
I repUsd tbat I could not help hiin in this matter, Bince I had oome to request au im¬ mediate discharge. I was sorry I conid not give Ibnger notice, bul I thought I waa nnfit for the resumption of my dnties, and.that I was only trespasBlng on his hospitality iu ataylng.
He supposed I aUnded to the state of my health, and strove earnestly to induce me to stay; bnt the next momiug saw me riding sadly along the forest road wbich had bronght me such a viBion of delight on my way to
 , there to embark for. the North.
I knew too woU Mr. DeViUe'a prejudices, and I relied too Ultle npon the flrat love of eo yonng a girl, and so nnpreposaeaaing a person as myself to aay one word of my love lot her to har father.
; r;««at no larther that day than tha.iwyt pliBtMioD.   I norind' • kisd iavitttlsa. to
spend the night'at-the'mansion, and took thatoeoaslon to send baek Mr. DeVUle'a horse andifsrvant, Baying'that I felt too' weak to travel in that manner, and ahould take the ateantboat the next day.
I was too ill howerer to do so. A fever which threatened to make me deUriouB, at¬ tacked me, bat I stniTe bo vehemantly to re¬ tain my eonaeioaanesa and not betray Clara or myself, that after a few boura stupor I be¬ gan to conquer the diseaae.
The family was at firat mnoh alarmed and went over lo acqnaint the DeVUIes with my stale. I waited with impatience the arrival of some one of them to see me, fbr I felt as if I bad been parted months from Clara, and longed to hear that ehe was well. Bnt I wait¬ ed in vain'. They sent every day lo inqnire after my health, bnt no one came lo see me. II waa Clara's own servant who was the messen¬ ger. In my honrs of qnlet reflection I began to have a truer esthnalion of. her love for me, and lo tear that she had brought the dis¬ pleasure of her famUy by confessb^ it. I de¬ aired my boat to inquire particnlarly about tfae health of tbe .DeViUea the next time tfae meBsenger came, and thereby obtained the consoUng newa that " all were well but Miss Clara, who was crying her eyes ont, because her father wauted her to marry Massa Merke¬ ley."
On the fourth day I proceeded on my jour¬ ney. I looked from the steamboat deck witb swimming eyea.toward the home that shelter¬ ed Clan, ud thonght with pain thatl was, perhapa, leaving a broken heart behind me. I had ebOBen a plaoe on the lonely npper deck, where I could indnlgemy thougbls ondisturh- ed, but my privacy was soon intruded upon. A veUed lady approaobed me,-and with a glad, fervent preaaure placed her handa witliin my own.   It was the darling, aelf-willed child.
" Why are you here ? How oame you here ?" I asked, half in alanuj half in joy.
" They peraeonte me at home,".BhB replied. "I know you love me betler than any one on
earth does, and Mr. Kennedy—I "
Ber imploring eyes wera tamed to mine, and her beautiful, bluahiug &ce spoke lore on e'very awift change..
I knew it all before, or the rapture wonld have overcome me. I only turned Biok at heart. It was my trial by fire. Sha watched my face. Its paleness seemed to alarm her. A pang of terror and shame at the thonght that perhaps I did not love her, seemed to atrike her dead, and she fell at my feet fainUng.
' 'Wfaen sfae rerlred to perfect consc!ouBuesa> which was not for a long time, we were in a oanlage, faer nurae Nelly, Clara, and I, and almoat at faer father's door.
Bhe did not speak one word to me, but tried to bury her face in her nurae's lap. I knew she mnat be prepared for onr arriral, and whis¬ pered,
" Clara, honor, honor only keepa me sUent. To yonr father flrat I mnat declare. In an honr, I hope, aU will be well. Cbeer np, dear Clara, and call erery hearenly peranasion to onr aid yon know so well bow to use. Yonr father caunot harden hla heart lo lhem. We are here."
Clara, when aaslsted from the oarriage, hur rIed np atalrs to hide heraelf in her own apart¬ ment, while I explained lo Mr.DeViUe. Ciara bad left home the day before, and bad remain¬ ed all uight in the negro quartera to elude purauit. Her father had been takeu ao iU npon bearing of bis danghter's elopement, that he was BtiU confined to his bed. His sons were making erery effort to trace ber.
Mr. De ViUe's firat impulse was to upbraid ine; but-justice prevailed, aud be moodUy thanked me for restoring her lo him. Then I plead my Bull, but he would not listen to me until after tbe relnm of his aons, aud tben lhey aU nsed their influence in my favor.
MeanwhUe I had nol remained at Mr. De Ville'a, but had gone lo the same plantation 1 was ao kiudly reoeived at before. Clara's brothera called ou me there, and on leaving me, Hubert, the eldest, eaid.

" No," cried Henry, faeryoungeat and favor¬ ite brotfaer," not more fortunate or happy than she deaerves, for Clara ia an angel; and as happy as any wife ia ever likely lo be, if. a good, kind, bonorable huabaud makes her hap¬ pineaa."
I waa summoned lo Mr. De Ville on tbe same day, and found, when I entered the room, Clara sUnding by his bedside. He held her liand firmly, for she liad tried to eacape aaying iu a lone meant lo be pieasaut, but very sar¬ castic in reality,
" No, no. No rnnning from your pnniBh- ment. Hear from Mr. Kennedy's own Ups tbat you hare presenied. him witb yonr lore, aud that he refuses such a grsceleas danghter for a wife, or takea you unwiUingly."
" Come, come. Come,-my Clara," I said, holding outmy arms, and passionately longing lo shield her from her father's mocking re- proaobeB. " He knows, and yon know, and Sod knowa tbat I hare long, long lored you from the bottom of my soul." She threw herselt upon my heart. Oh, tbat all triala .bome might bring «a great a reward.

Dbig-dongI the old beU at the voUce station was ringing ont twelre, and Bs:;is last ihoke swung npon the air, a crowditf Mys ponred ont into the playground ot the big pnblio school on the arenne below. It was the din¬ ner recess, and a great nnmber of Uttle baakets and tin paUs oame to' Ugbt suddenly, as their ownera scattered rouud in rarious directions, Bome'ingronps lo enjoy thebr Innobeontogeth- er, otfaera off in a comer to dispose of it in BoUtude.
." Come, Clere," said one of a group of boys, who had aeated themselres in a shady place nnder the fence, "trot out lhat basket.of yours, and let's see-what kind ofa epread yon've got to-day. Your mother's a trump, I say; she always gets you np such joUy good limohes."
"Well, ao she does," answered Cleve, laugh¬ ing, " I'm her only chick, yon know, and she naturaUy doesn't want me to starve."
•'That's what makes her so Uberal outhe ehicken, I B'pose," said another boy, helping himself wilhont ceremony to a large slice of breast whioh lay uppermost in the basket.— " There's plenty more, I know, old feUow, and it wiU make my dry bread go down batter."
f'Take another," responded Clere good na- tnredly. " There's some cmllera down below then, and some j«Uy-cake, and some Utile cocoa-nut things, too, I.gness; help youraelf I"' and bis basket was handed in turn lo eaofa of his companiona, nntil the daintiea prepared by Mis. Morris, for her only darling, were in a fair way of being mora generaUy diatributed than Bhe had anticipated.
"You're a lucky fellow," said EusaeU Hulmea, taking poaaeaaion of a cranberry tart, and biting into it with great satisfaction. " I think I'm weU off if I get a doughnut, or a piece of apple-pie for goodies; bat your b>e- ket is as good as a baker's shop."
" Ofa, I don't oare maoh about it," answered Clere, witha sort of careleaaly superior sir. "I'd jnst as aoon not bare all this «ta£ And asto being lucky, that's a great mistake.— Pm juat the unluckieat fellow in the world— always losing aomething or other. Last week it was my four-bladed jcnUe, and now I're lost two ahilUngs oat of my pocket, juat because that old peg-top had to poke a hole in it. It was all the money 1 had, too, and I oan't get any more tiU next month."
"Why not ?" asked EusaeU.
"Oh, beoanae I have an aUowance, ycu know,, and my father nerer wUl let me go orer it. It's no nse aaking, so I'm dead broke tlU May. By tfae wa](, EusseU, I was at your faousea yeaterday^ You didn't aee anytfaing of a atray quarter lying around aftar I went awsy, did you ? I miaaed it last night, so I must hare lost it in the aftemoon some¬ where."
"I guess yen didn't loae it at our house," said Euss.eU confidently. "I ahoald have aeen it somewhere if you had. Yon were only in the yard, and np in my garret, yon know—and I did'nt aee a sign of il."
" WeU, it's juat my luck I" said Clere gaily. " It'a no uae crying, Ihough, ao oome on, boye, and let'a play hookey. Dick Foater, I owe you one. Look ont for your shins now, old fellow!" and with a flourish o( hia facokey- Btiok he made the baU spin balf acroaa tbe play-ground, aud Dick Foster aud Ruaaell, and the reat, aorambling to their feet, were aoon after it in hot pnranit.   ,
There waa nothing more aaid abont tho loat money. The otfaer boya forgot it, and Cleve Morris, a careleas, good-natnred, generoua fellow, was too much accustomed to' such loasea to think long about this. He laughed over hia poverty when his alata pen.-Ua and lop strings gave out, and be became bankrapt in marbles; but he managed to get on till the end of the month without borrowing a penny, though he had'many offera of small loana, be¬ ing generaUy popular'amongat hia compan¬ ions. To reward him for such virtue, hia mother added a generoua gift on her own ac¬ count In addition to hia father's allowance May came; and Cleve in his unexpected riches, declared lhat his losing the quarter waa "a stroke of good luck," after aU.
Enasell Holmes Uatened enviously as bis scfaool-fellow boasted of his good fortune, aud Bfaowed.hiB handful of jingling sUver pieces to the boys in tfae play-ground. "Just like Aim," fae muttered to himself, as he w^nt home after school, stiU dwelling upon tbe thought tbat had been iu his mmd all the afternoon: " I wonder when my moiher would haye given me a dollar for such a thing? But he gets everything he wants, and is eren p^id for losing his money! I don't think it's fair."
Eossell oonld not have giren a rery good reason for not thinking it" fair," considering that Mra. Morria had certainly a right to nae her own money as ahe pleased. But in hia grumbling mood he did nof atop to thinkof that.
"There's that paint box," he began again, " that I've been wanting so long, and my father won't give me. It'a only two ahillings^ and Fricke would let me faave it for Iwenty canta. But no 1 my father can't'afford it, he saya. He nerer cau afford ¦anythmg I want^ and I tfaink it'a real meau."
Again EusaeU did not conaider bow nnreaa- onable he was. There waa a great many Uttle ChUdren at Mr. tlolmea'; Eusaell waa the oldeat of eight brothera and aiaters, and he knew vety weU that his parents had hard work, with their moderate meana, to provide comfortably for tbem-aU. He knew, too, that his father indulged him in everytliing lhat he oorfja. posaibly afford, aud tbat none of the other cHldren had aa mnoh pooket money, or as many play-things as himaelf. It waa eapec- iaUy Belfiah aud ungrateful in Aim to think such tfainga,- bnl he was just in the faumor not to care how wioked he was; and he fairly grombled himself, aa he atood by the toy-ahop window wfaere the coveied paint-box lay, iuto tha beUef that he was a very unhappy and rosy nnjnatly treated boy.
Of coarse by the time he reached home he was nol a rery pleasant companion' for auy¬ body. HIb motber looked up from ber aew- ing witb a amUe and a kind word as he came into the nuraery, and little JuUa ran eagerly to kiaa faer " big buzzer." But he did not take notioe of eilher one, oulyalammed his books down upon'the oloaet-sbelfj audmarobed sulk¬ ily ont of tbe room witfaont apeaking. He went firat up into tfae garret, jrhioh wasa gen¬ eral play-room for- all the ohildren, Ihough EuaaeU, aa the oldeat claimed lOhiefpoaseaBiou of it. There he found Frank and WUaon busy making a kite out of some tiaaue paper wtUoh he recognized aa belonging to him. At any other lime he would have given it to them wSlingly, and thought nothing abont it. Bnt an evU apirit had the mastery of him lo-day, and made him do mean and unkind things, wbich he blushed to remember afterwards.
"'Wliat are yon doing witb my paper, I'd like to kuow ? 'Who gave yon leave to touch it, sir?" wen tfae angiy questions witfa which the poor little fellows wen greeted. "I'U teach you how to meddle with roy thinga another time. Now see I" And tfae poor little pink kile whicbFrank and Wilaonhadlabored at BO patiently for half an bonr, was tore into bits and scattered on the floor by their broth¬ er's hands.
He .went down into the- yard after thia, leaving t^ children sobbing orer thair disap¬ pointment and his nnklndneas- He felt rery, miserable, and did not Idiow at aU what to do. with bimBelf; so for want of occupation he be¬ gan to poke holes in the gronnd with an old walking-Blick of Ills father's that theliltle ones used for a hobby-hone.
"Yonahonldn't do tbat, EuaaeU," said the nurae, who waa sitting ontbe terrace abora him with tlie baby in her arms. "There's seeds ooming np fo them beds, an' yon'U UU 'am aU if yoa do 10.".

His flnt Im- polaa was to hide it from the nnrae; so eloafog his hand orer it carefally, he got np again, stmck tbe cane into the gronnd once or twice, and then tfarowfog it down fo the walk, saun¬ tered out into the street.
Some fowatd instinct made him aroid ob- aerraUou, so he walked on down the street uutu he was qnite ont of sight of hLi own -house, and then crossed over to a vacant lot and Bat down on a atone behiud the fence be¬ fore herenlnied lo esamfoe his treasure'fuUy. It was oorered with dirt, but he easUy scraped tbat off with his pen-knife, and then it showed fairly wliat it waa, a good, gennfoe, BUrercofo.
"Yes, it cert^ily .ia good money," said EusaeU' to liimself. "Wliat a stroke of luck 1 Now I shall bny that pafot-boz."
But he did not aeem fo a hurry to go and do il.
He sat upon the stone and fingered the quarter foa nerrons .sort of way, looking ronnd liim auBpioIously every now and then to aee if .anybody was comfog near' him, and mntlerfog excuses to liimself that proved his conscience was not altogether eaay. The trath ia, he knew perfectly weU that he had no right to spend the money; that it was tfae very piece Cleve Morris had lost a week ago, and that il was hia bonnden duty, Iherefore, to restore it immediately. He knew whal he ought to do, but he was extremely unwiUfog to do it; and on the other hand ha coold not quite make np his mtod to do what he knew wonld be a diahouest thfog, fa spite of his desire for tjie paint-box. If there had only been auy doubt fo bis mind about the owner- ahip of the quarter, he could have contented himaelf easUy. But Clere had a trick of drawfog anohora on everything that belonged to him: "bis mark,".he caUod it, aud here it was plafo enough—a tfoy anchor traced with a aliarp knife on a smooth spot of the oofo.-^ There was no gellfog over soch evidence as that, and Eiisaell could only think of the old acbool-boy aophiatry, that if a tbing was lost it belonged to the finder. Poor as the argu¬ ment waa, the louger he.dwell upon it, the more plausible it seemed to him. Other thoughts oame to help it oul, loo. Cleve had forgotten aUabont the quarter—behad plenty of money now, more than he knew what to do with—he had given this np for loat—and what was tfae nse of sayfog anylhfog ahout it afler all this time ? 'What good did it do anybody lying fo the grouud ? It might be there stiU, if it was'nt for him, and after he hsd taken the trouble to find it, why he had tfae beat right to nae it, of courae I
Poor BusseU I he did not see, in his eager¬ ness to yield lo templalian, how siUy he was, aa weU as wicked. It waa small tronble he had taken lo find the quarter, but it helped to Boothe his conscience lo imagfoe that the find¬ ing of it was au aot of merit for which he de¬ served reward.
He gol up at lasl aud walked down tbe street, uot towarda home, but towards the arenne where Mr. Pricke's toy-ahop etood.- He had uot made up hia mind to buy the patat-boi yet, but he tfaougfat he would Uke to aee it again, and he wanted a new slate- penoU beaides. Mr. Fricke tfaougfat he waa a rery long time decidiug npon tbat latter arti¬ cle. He turned orer erery penoii fo tbe box, meaanring one by another, and tbenexamfoed the painted onea, snd then wanted to see those that wore enclosed in wood, like lead- pencils, and finally took a yellow aoapstone after aU. Thia matter aettled, and his penny paid, he atlU faung around tfae sfaop, aa if somethfog elae nas on his mfod.
" Want anylhfog more ?" aaked Mr. Fricke, who was gettfag a little lired of wailing on him.
"No," said RusseU, heaitatfogly. " I gueaa uot. I dou't know, though, let me aee that paint-box agafo, won't you ? tfae one you said I oould hare for twenty centa."
" For t-w6nty-.^i)e cents, you moan," said Mr. Fricke. " That'a tfae lowest prioe, and ite cheap at that.   It's a prime article, sir."
Aud the pafol-box was produoed, tbe sUding corer drawn onl, and aU the little squares of color, and tbe tmy brnshea lay temptfogly be fore EuBsell'a eyea. Can you wouder tbat his last Bcmples raniahed beforo tbe aight ? That temptation prored too strong for couacience, and lhat tbe quarter—Clere'a quarter— jfogled down amongat otber coin to Mr. Frioke's tiU, while EusaeU, with a beatmg heart, bore away the pafot-^box, wrapped fo paper, aud lucked away out of eight to the deepest packet of his jacket.
He did not feel like atopping lo play with the boya on his way home, yon may be sure. He hnrried on aa fast as be could, and ran np to the garret aa soon as he reached the honse The shreds pf pink tiaaue paper still lay on the fioor, bnt bis two brotfaers faad gone, and no one waa tfaere to aee bim, ao fae ventured lo lake off the wrapping paper, and look at bia box—the precioua box for which he had paid snoh a large .price.
Poor boy I he began to feel already how large the price was indeed. Nothfog less than hit honetty and hip peace qf mind—Mo treas¬ ures lhat, if he had only been wiae enough to know it, were worth more lo bim than aU tfae color boxea the world ever aaw. Bome.dim consciousness of this truth came lo him as he looked down at the bo^, with a suspicion that the oakes of paint looked dingier, and the bruBlies smaller lhan when they were in the shop. Bnt it was loo late now to be aorry, so he straggled agafost the better feeling and tried to make himself believe that fae faad done qnite rigbt, aud would do ao again if the aame Ifafog happened. But he did not do any painting that aftemoon, althougb fae slaid np in tfae garret tiU the bell rang for tea. He did not bring the box down ataiiB, either, bnt faid it away carefully, amongat fais own pecnliar poa- seaaionB, that nobody ;faad a right to meddle with. He bad no desire to show it, aud teU the alary of how be came by it.
So there it Uy, day after day, and for all the pleasure EuaaeU had iu it, it might bave been fo the shop-window aiU. He hardly ever dared to take it out, for there were ao many chUdren always running np and down, and if they knew EuaaeU waa fo the ganet, they were aure .to be there, too. pnce or twice he did ^t a ofaanoe lo pamt a picture or two fa his old geography, witbout interroption bnt il was ratber dnll fun, after all, with uo¬ body lo-iook on and make snggeationa aa to whether the aalor boya abould bave bine pan¬ taloous or white, and the ligera abould be painted in chrome yellow, or ochre. Before the week was out, he wiahed fo his aecret heart, though lie would not own it to himself, tfaat the pafot-boz was back in Mr. Fricke'a shop, and the quaiter to Cleve Morris's pocket, or in the ground when he fonnd it.
He had more reaaona lo wiah it than he waa aware of, eveu, for the pnnlsment of bis diahoueaty waa oloae at hand. It bad never occured to bim lhat anybody elae could dis¬ cover it, unlesB he choose to tell, and. it was only bis own accusing conscience whicfa trou¬ bled him, not any fear of ontalde disgrace. But that came, too, iu a way whicfa he bad never anticipated.
One day Diok Poster puUed a piece of money out of his pooket. "Look here Clere," said he.    "Ian't this your'mark?'".
"That it isl" exch^med Cleve," after he bad looked at it amfonle. My mark, and my money, loo. It's the very quaiter I lost fo AprU, and I'd jnst like to know how you oame by it?
"Pair and square," aaid Dick, "I got it at Frioke's to change for a doUar bill, last night, and I knew it mnstliare come through yonr hands Boi;[ie time or other, jriien I saw the anchor. It's mfoe'now, tfaougfa, so pass it orer, old feUow."
" Oh, bf oonrae 1" and Clare toaaed th« oofo teek foto roMu*! hndi. •• I'd lllCa to knoir how VHdl«(6t It, ihoiifh; I ootddfwwrjt

"Some feUow found It I sappose," said Diok, "and waa mean enongh to apend It."
" I'U atop at Frioke's after school," said Clere. " I'd just Uke to know If any of our fellows would do snch a shabby triok."
And the two boys mored away, and EuaaeU, who had been 'atandfog out of aight, bnt in fuU hearing, heard no more. I need nol tell yon how he felt. Yon cau imagiiie. fcr your: aelf Ills shame and mortificalion, and the ter¬ ror that filled his mtod aa he thougfat how Clere would be snre to trace tfae quarter lo Iiim,and expose him before aU bia acboolmalea.

As for Clere, fo his careless way he forgot aU about the thfog, untU, fo gofog bome, he had to pass by. the toy-ahop. Then it came back to Um. and " jnst for curiosity," as he said, Ue went fo lo make his foqnlriea. Mr. Fricke remembered the cofa. He had noticed tfae anchor on it when it was paid in. Bna- seU Homea paid it fo exchange for a paint box about a week ago.
"AU rigfat," said Cleve, " it waa nothing but curioaity," and he walked out of the ahop. Bot once oul it was not so eaay lo restrain his honest fodignation aud contempt- He uever could have done such a thfog himself, and it was hard lo have patience witb such meanness in one whom he iiad supposed bis friend, and with whom he bad alwaya abared freely his own luxuries. If he had obeyed his first im¬ pulse, called out by theae thonghta, he would have told tfae story to the whole scfaool, and justified himself by declaring that " it served himrigbt, Buofaa meau triok oagfat be known.'' ¦ Bnt a aecond tfaougfat came, and aometfaing —he could not teUwhat—made him think of the prayer which hia motfaer faad taogfat him when he was a Utile child, and wbioh he atUl aald every day of hia life:—
" Forgiveut our debit, at ve forgive—"
"Well," thought Cleve, "I guess I won't tell on him after aU. Maybe be didn't know it waa mine, and he never baa mnch money of bia own, I know. I wisfa I hadn't fonnd it out, that's all."

EuaaeU oame to aofaool next day with fear and tremblfog. He knew directly, from Clove's manner, thongh not a word was said, that the truth was'disclosed, and he expected nothing JesB than to hear it told pubUoly, to DickFoster, and all tbe rest, aa aoon aa recess came. But lo his sui prise aa mnoh aa relief, the play houra pasaed over without the dread¬ ed diacloanre. Cleve waa a Uttle diatant, to be Bare, bnt aUtbe rest were jnat the a&me to him, aud be began at last to comprehend the generosity with which his companion was treatfoghim. It was almost harder to bear tban pubUo ebame wonld have been, bis own meanneas looked ao black by contrast; and lhat night when he went to bed he fairly cried himaelf to sleep with sorrow and mortification.
Thenext day he wrapped up the paint-box, and wrote a little note, begging Cleve to take it, because he had no money to pay him witfa, aud telltog faim wfaen and faow he had found tfae quarter. He carried these to Mra. Morris' faouBe and left lhem, and when Cleve came home and found them, you may be sure he was glad that be had kept hia good reaolntion. He didn't rest nntil be had seen Bussell, and told him that " he didn't mind it, not tbe least in the world, and there was no more to be said abont it." -And when Chriatmas came he sent him the identical paint-box, as good as ever,for a preaent! As for Rnssel, he took the lesson to faeart, and from that time never thought that anything in the world waa wonh having, if it had not baen pnrohaaed at the expense of hcneatv.

BBAITDY AS A MBPICIKE nPHE following article was voluntarily
_L sent to Mr. H. E. SLAYMAKEE, Agent for Reigsrt's Old Wine Store, tn this rity, by a promi¬ nent practising Phyahlaa of this coanty, who has ex¬ tensively used the Brandy referred to In hla regular pracUce. It is commended to the atteatioa of thoae afflicted witb-IndigesUau or Dyapepsla:
BRANDY AS A UEDICINE:—This now much abased alcobellc stlmalant wae asTer inteoded aa a beTsrage, batwasnsed asa medicine ot great potency and reila- biUty ia the onre of some of tbe most destrnctlva and virulent diseases, wbich awept before them their annual thousands of victims. Aside trom tbe Indispensable use of alcoholln the arte and maaufactnras, we, with a purely philantbropie motive, Intend to present to the favorable notice of inno/ufr—especially those afflicted with that protean and miserable disease. Dyspepsia— a speciflc remedy is notbing more oor less tban BRANDY. The aged, with feeble appetUes, and mora or lees debllliy, will find this simple medicine^ when naed pioperly. a sovereign remedy for all their Ills aad aches. Bnt since we bave recomineuded tbis as a remedy, ba It, however, atricUy understood that we pre¬ scribe and nso batons arUcle, aud that la*'REIGARJ'S OLD BRANDY,"—sold by our enterprising yonng friend, H. E. Slatmaiuk. This braady bas stood tbe test for years, and has never failed, as far as our expe¬ rience extends, aud we therefore give It the prefereuce over all other brandies—no matter with bow manyjaw- breaklng French tlUea tbey are branded. One-fonrth of the money that la yearly throwa away oo Tariona Impotentdyapepslaspeclflca,would snfflce to bny all tha brandy to core any such case or cases. We have often besn advised by piomtaent citizens In onr neighbor¬ hood—who aro strictly lemperate^to publish the vir¬ tnes of thUbraady. la tbia aU pervading malady, aa it would la & manner abolish tho host of woald-ba qnack remedies, wUb which InvaUds are B*i .ootrageonaly hnmbugged, and bring cheer and comfort to many a desolate flreside. Ia proof of wbat ReigarVs Old Brandy haa accompliahed as a remedy, in the diseases to which we have alluded, we can sammoa quite a respectable number of persons, who will freely testify as to tbe great and laatlng benefits they huve derived from Its uaa aa a medicine. Several caaas of the moat inveterate from of Dyapepaia—where It proved Bnccessfnl—ahoald alone sufflce to convlnca any liberal mind that Old Brandy is infalUblo. Ono caae ia parUcnlar we wlU cite:—A bard working.farmer had beea afllicted with asazhanBtlng dyspepala for a namber of yeara; ble stomach would reject almost every kind of food; he had soar eructations coaatanUy—no appatUe—la fact, be waa obliged to reatrict bis diet to crackers and atale bread, and as a beverage he uaed McGrann's Boot Beer. He ia a Methodiat, and then, aa now, preached-at times, and In his discourse oftea decUlmed earnasUy against all klnda of strong drinlc^ When adviaed to try Rei¬ garVs Old Brandy In hie cade, be looked ap with aaton¬ lahment; bat after rolaUng Its wonderful effecta in the caaea of aome of his n»>sr acqnatnuncaa, he at last con¬ sented to follow oar advice. He uaed tbe brandy falth- folly and steadily; tbe first bottle giving him an appetite, and before the^cond was all taken he was a aound man, wilh a atomach capable of dtgesUng any thing whicb be choae to eat. He atill keepa it and asea a litUe ocoBSionii.lly ; and, raoreoTer. since he has tbls medlclae, he has been of very Uttle pecanlary benefit to the doctor. If any are skeptical, or believe this !s written to benefit any Itqaor dealer wecan, tf required, glvea certificate endorsed by quite a respectable nnmber of peraona, who btve been cured by It. and who ¦will at anytime cheerfally teatify as to Its superior bealthy virtues in dyspepsia, and all dUeaata of adeblUatlag character. Thoee dealriag lo ose this brandy will obtala fall direcUons of Mr. Rlaymaker ; but sncb ae deaire to uae it for intoxicaUn; purposes, we advise to rather snffer wltti dyapepaia, nnd let ReigarVs old brandy get older, or nntil tbey can form a resolutloa to nae it as a medlclae.
