A LOST IITEr
" I iloii't know what to .-iay," ciiiolli JIUi Jlartha Toda, givinK her (;o\vii :i liilch nt the sliouUler, ami .it the liolloin of the waist, acconling lo a liablt slie liail when excited in any way.
Notv, if Miss Martha Tods did not Jciiou- wliat to say, doubtle.s.s the.siihjeet w:is grave and dilliuult; for she should Itnow if anybody, jis—tiiljing lier at her own esliiuate—there wa.s no one in the county, or State either (outside Uoston : slie liad a proper respect for cverylhinj; relating to Boston,) with sharjicr eye's, or ears, ortongue. IJutatthistiuiesIio sat with an uncertain, puzzled expres¬ sion on Iier poliiteil r«ituien.
Of course, Mi-ss Ann, her dwarfed, one-sided sister, who sat by tlie west window picking over a pan of dried heana, wtis ill dotilit also; forshe never presuineit to miiUo up her iniud until Miss Martha liad told her how. The family ciualities, as well aa the silver and linen, were divided betweeu theso two sisters; the energy, decision and sliarjiness going to tlie older, and the easy,ijood-natuic,self-denial and work, falling to tho younger.
So, naturally, to tho world at large, the crooked, dumpy ligurc, and ready smile, of iliss Ann, was were comely than the stately form and strong-mind¬ ed .iddre-ss of M iss Jlartha.
Tlie sisters were not alone in thegreat yellow-washed kitchen, with itsfreshly scoured lloor and queer cupboards stuck in tlieeoruers like hornets' iicsla. There waa besides, a young woman with a niuiul fair face which lookeil as jilea- saiit IUS Miss Ann's, and as firm as Jliss Martha's.
" I have raade up my mind, and ifyou don't think best to help me, I must do without your help," said the thinl wo¬ man, shutting her lijis, iiml poising her head with au air whicii showed argu¬ ment or remoustranco would fall upon her like rain upon a rock.
Mias Martha gaver her gown tinother hitch. " Do you think you eould man¬ age it not to get found out? I haven't much nuestion in my own miiiil but what /could go from "Dan to ijo-shcba in inen'a-clotliea, without a soul's mis- I trusting me; but it isn't every woman who could act a part as well as myself," .said she.
"What Inm afraid of is lh.it you won't stand it to do a man's work, as to strength, even ifyou manage it to pass yourself off for one,'.' interposed the tender-hearted Misa Ann.
" I am naturally strong and healthy, .ind since Harmon went iuto the army I have done his work as well as miue. That was what first put tlie thought into my head, after he was takeu pris¬ oner, and not only couldn't send me any more money, but needed all I could send him. jS'obody will hire me to do tho work ofa man in a woman's dress, and even if I did the same work, they wouUl not think of paying me more than a third aa much for it. I must live, and I must take care of the child¬ ren, and earn money to send H.irmon niitll he is releaaed, and able to get his pay; and there is uo way I can do it while I am wearing a gown," returued the round-faced, blue-iTyod woman, res¬ olutely.
.She liad a cheerful lieart ius well as a bravo one, and sho said notliing of the wearinesa and hardahipa she had strug¬ gled through, before coming to this (leaperate decision.
" Have you told your folks anything about you planf?" ciueried Miss Martha, with auother hitch.
"My/oto.' orcoursenot. Nobodi', birtyou. Mother and tlie giria do not even know Harmon hns heen taken prisoner, or thatheissick, and I would not have them, csiiifcially mother. She worried herself half to death when he eiiliHled ; and she haa enough to bear np iiiiiler without taking me on her ahouldeia."
" She always was a nervous piece. I remember her bofore you were horn ; but I'll tell you what, Ijanra, ynu aro having a hard row to hoe, ami I am willing to do wliat I can to help you if your are sure you can manage it so aa not to get found out. I don't tako much to children, my.self, but yolll•.^ seem to he well brought np, and pretty-beli.ived, and I will ennacnt to your leaviug thcni hero fora spell any way; but the course you have got marked out for younself seems like aomutliiug of :> venture," aaid Misa Martha at last.
"You wont need to worry a .single .sjieck about the children. Wo will do tlio very bcBlwecanforthem.ui'liryou lind you are over-taxing your strengtii you muat leavo right straight off, and try something-else," added Miss Ann, rattling a handful of beaus into tlie jian. Alas! In tlieir doubting and fearing, uo tliovght of the will of the Lord, wlKise lilcaaiiig makelh rich, and He addeth no sorrow witli it, came inlo the mind of eitlier of the women. El.se they might have Vemcnibercd how he said— "He that walkelh upiiglilly walketh surely ; but he that pervertcth his ways shall ho known." So they wenton set¬ ting np liuninn cunning and strength against the decrees of the Infinite.
Yet evil was uever done that good plight eome, with a purer heart and n-.oro tinsellish motive, tli.iu when DuuraSeavereool went forth, clothed in falsehood, to \y.qrk for those who were dearer to her than her lifo.
Ill the gray twilightof thn day, ivhen Misa .\nn Toda—who could turn her hand to the niaking of anytliliig from a shoe to a bonnet—luul llnislied a suit of luiy'a clothes, Mrs. I'ini, tlio nearest neisjhbor towaril the nortli, saw from herpantry window, hy whioli shcstood, mixing biscuit in a wooden bowl, a boy drawing a wheelbarrow into her door- y.ird. Slie know the old, blue wheel¬ barrow well cnougli, for it w.is Mr. Pirn's, and hers, too, for that matter, wliich had been lent to Misa Ann Toda to lako home herbagof mealthatcame with Mr. rim's grist from mill; but sho didn't kuow the boy. And thia was a town so small, and so out of llio way among the hills, with so littli;/ happen¬ ing in it, that a strange cat, or a dead sheep, was a nine week's talk.
" Ho is a stranger to rae. Kobody be¬ long! nghereawaya; and I can't think for the life of rae, what relation or ac- quaiiitan'ce he can be of tho Tods," said she, raising the window, and putting out her head for a better sight. She held out her hand also, adding, quite loudly—"No, it dou't rain." Mrs. Pim waa full of such small double-dealing, ¦which uever deceived anybody but lier-
BOlf.
" What for-a-looking fellow is lie ?" asked Mrs. Pirn's mother-in-law, who was afflicted like Mephlhosheth, and eould not easily get to the window to reconnoitre for heraelf.
Short, and rather thick-set, with longi.ah hair; and there ia somot iing wonderful queer about hia gait. I don t know but what I will take over a basket of russets to the Toda to-morrow—likely tlieir apples .ire .ill gone—and find out, by tho way, who he is," said Mrs. Pim. | Accordingly sho weut on her neigh¬ borly erraud, and came back as wise as she went. "You cau't ever get any¬ thing out of tho old-m.iid Tods when they ain't a mind to have yon, not if yon take a hammer and a ]>air of niji- poi-s," said sho ou her return. "AU I could find out was, that ho is a boy, by tlio name of .George Snyder, from down below; and lhat MarthaTods kuow his family, him too, far's I know, when ahe stopjied thoro such a while witli her brother's folks. He is golug to try to get into work round here somewhere. That is all I made out, for thoy didn't incline to talk much about the whys and wherefores ofbis coming; and what is tho curiousest part of all, they've got two little children, a littlo boy and a little girl, to board ; but who they be¬ long to, and how thoy happened to get hold of them, I couldn't ascerlain. Martha always likes lo make a seven- days' woiuler of nothing at all, and Ann hadn't iJarst .say her .soul is her own any time. I tried to find out something by (lie children themselves, but they aeemed to be scart, littlo things, and they appeared rather backward, too. It is a doubt in my mind if they can talk auy great."
While iMrs. Pim was telling the shiry of her uuaatiafactory researches, iSIr. I'.urliugame, un extenaive lumber-deal- er, in ii large town, a ilozen iniles away upon the river, in driving <lown the road lending from the village, overtook a lilue-eyed buv with delicate hands and innocent face. Tlieboy turned, ami, came np to the wagon ; so Mr. Durliii- game stonped his iior.se."
"Doyou wish to hire a hand, sir?" said he.
"Areyou the hand?" lelnrned Mr. Burliugame, who hail a lixed aversion to !in3werihgastraight-forward question iu a straight-forward way. " Yes, sir," replied the boy. "Yon don't look like a vt.y stout one," said Jfr. Uurliugamc.
" Ifyou will try me you \yill liuil I am. 1 have been at sidiiml for awhile, aud am a little out of practice just now, but sliall soon get tonghoned," answer¬ ed the boj', glancing at his soft, whitt: li.inda.
"How are your hahils? fiood? Ever smoke, orcliew,ordrink,oriilay cards'.
" Nover.   J have no bad liabils," the boy replied modestly, but decidedly. " How old ?" " .Sixteen."
" Y-ou look  old  for that,"  returned Mr. Kurlingame, gazing sharply at the hcardlesacheek.s. "Wlialisyourname;" " Cieorge Snyder."
Then Afr. Ihirlingame made a pau.se. He was alwaya moderate, and he wait¬ ed long enough for one of your quick, Ihuahy men to iudile his will beforo ho said—"Well. Cieori'e. 1 ani ilrivimr out to ray rail! ac Seroolcy ; if you want to try anil see what you can do at such kind of work, yr.n may come ont."
"Y'e.s, sir. Tliauk you," replied Cieorge.
When Mr. I3urling.ime arrived at Scrooley, he fodud the boy, who had como out on the train, there liL-riiie him, and already at work, having set liim- .aelflo piling boanU. And ho soou found Cieorge had lold the tnil li in say¬ ing ho had none oftho bad habits com¬ mon in hoys of that age, and thathe was ready and faithful in every soft of work.
" George ia a.s reliable and onergelic a boy .IS I could ;L>.-k fur, only he has not tho strength, lie lakes hold ol the log with the beal will in the world, ami lifts awiiy at it; but the log ihicsn't come up. I don't know what to do," said Mr.Jhirlingamo to bis partner, as they were looking over a wocid-lol to¬ gether. "He can't earn hia wages, though I am persuaded he docs juat g well :is he can, ami never llinelies for blisters or bruises. I hate to turn him oil" when he tries so bard, and seems so anxious to ple.ise. He tells mo he was left au orphan sit twelve years old ; lisis had himself to take csiro of ever since, and is trying to earn money to go througii college. He really does seem to have a good mind. I lent Iiim .sonic hooks from my library, smd ho selected Prtley's "Natural Theology," and Miss Wliitiiig'a Jlemoirs-harilly what ymi would expect of a boy of his age. He I looks liealthy and sippeais capable; I quick to nudcrstaud and easy to learn. When Mrs. Young, who boards the meu, was sick, one d/iy, he tooli hold aud helped her handy sbsa woman ; but wo don't want to pay a msiii for doing house work, and he'secm.a to lack mus¬ cle for anything heavier."
" Wliy wouldn't he enli.st, and he off our lianda aud on onr quota?" suggest¬ ed the partner.
This was in the la.st year of the war, when calls for .soldiers ciinie often and loud, aud one more on the town's quota was gladly counted in. Thus, for two reasons, the idea pleiused Mr. Uuilin- gamo, so lie fsilked with CJeoige iihoiit It, and found liim appsirciUly very will¬ ing to enlist; but there was a dillicul¬ ty. No voluuteei-s were received under eighteen.
" Tliey would be fools not to lako mo," ssiid Cieorge; "but they wont."
"They would never think of disput¬ ing it if 3'on give your age sua eighteen," said Mr. ISurlingamo, witli another sharp glance at the smooth face, which somehow hehl marks of maturity ou it, and whioh, at thu bottom of his heart, he really believed had seen as many years as that.
Then his wife, who sat by hor sew¬ ing machine in tlie room wliere tliey were talking, spoko uji, shocked smd vehement—" You certainly wouldn't daro tell a lie for the sake of enlisting! Y'ou couldn't expect a blessing ou you in it if you did, for nobody gains any¬ thing by falaehood in the end, if thoy do in the beginning."
I have woudered if the conscienco of tho boy W.IS moved by Ihis uncouscioua commentary on his cvorydsiy lifo, or if he had gone on so long in ILs fal.seuoiss that the reproof and jiroiihosy did not touch him. However it was, ho g.ive no sign, and presently wont awaj' with¬ out replying.
Something after nine of the cloelc, upon the same evening, Jlias Martha Tods aud her sister sat in their long low kitchen, witlia small round table betweeu them, on which was iftallow caudle in ii painted eatiillestick, a pair of tin aiinllers, and a ]iorringer of water. Mias Martha was braiding the crown of a palm-leaf hat, and Miss Anu was do¬ ing the more dillicult and disagreeable imrt of " setting np a top," aecording to theirusual division ii) sill kindsof labor. A great earthen jar stood ou the wido window-sill, lilled with clover bliK- sonia, asparagus braneliea,speckled Held lilies, and scsirlet peonies; and from the maple tree onLsido the window cstnio in the shrill cry of a persistent katydid, harmonizing with mingled chiijiiugs and lilingsanddrouings fiomiiundreils of summer creatures, who wero thus telling, each in ils waj', it,s ghulucss in tho univei'sal wsirmth and sweetness, unknowing and heedlcas of tho awifi. to-morrow, which shall prove so biting, and bitter, aud unkindly,-to ua aiiil them, lliit the llowers and the insects niiulo up all the poetry of tho time and jilsiee. The rest was idaiii prose of the lioniellest sort.
"ftwasadownrightrelieftomowlion rolliua came after Mrs. Pim this after¬ noon. She is of .sncli an inqniriiig niiikelhatl have had to tell her more lllipi lifiy lies.Vreiidy,Idi)believe; smd It goes ag(»iiist mv feelings lo tell so muny U>r tmihiiig," said Miss Ann, .-is though she thought thero luid hccn cases since tlio tim of Ssippiiira, wheu a lio had turned outof prolit to the own¬ er. " JSosides," she added, " I am so afriudsdl the limeI.siiall leak outsome- Ihing I shouldn't; I feel as though I waa walking on eggs or china teaetips, or some such."
Jliss Marlha wet her straws in the porringer with a snort of eonlcmpt.
" I never could mueh abide Mi's. Pim's .society, any wsiy ; but I don't know but what she is full more .igree- .il)lo when .she is trying to smell out something or 'iiother. She ean't gen¬ erally talk about niueli only her palm- leaf peddler, her biaidingand her straw, ami whether I ' thumb it' oriiot. Such conveiBatioii isn't edifying to mc."
Here Jtiss Martha wils interrupted by a sudden knock at the outer door. The sisters started in their chairs, and look¬ ed at each other as though they half expected il might be Jlrs. Pim's aven¬ ging spirit; but directly Miss Mtirtlia, who was supposed to be the keeper of the castle, alwaya saying "I" and "mine," ventured to the window, and carefully putting away a corner of the white half-curtain, iieered out iuto tho starlight.
It is too dark for me to make out any thing for a positive," said she.
Then as lhe knock came sigain, loud¬ er and more imperative, she went to tho door aud naked through the key¬ hole, in a tone as gruff as though it be¬ longed to two men—" Who is it?'.'
" Mo. Let me in, won't you ?" re- jilied the peraon out-side,  imjialionllj'.
" Doesn't that sonnd like/jtr voice V" inquired Miss Ann.
" You mean his 9" rolurnod Jfiss Jfartha, who w.is nover cauglit'olf lior. guard even in'lhosilence Of -her own IboUKliLs. . ,..

" 11 ia mc—Georgo Snyder. Do open the door," said the vo^fce/oiiLside.
So the fastenings weiio removed ; lirsl a great japanned salver,; which wa.s ex¬ pected lo clatter over and act as alarm in case a burglar should attempt to en¬ ter by the door ; then a bolt, a hook, and two buttons.

"Yes, it is mo, smd I have walked all the wsiy from LaiiMin&' sinccsuppcr. How are the children'?"
" Poor thing! It must be clear beat out!" murmured Jliss .\nn. ' t)li! the cliildren aro brisk as butlerlhes.

" Y'ou mustn't get overdone. And rememher, you wont need to have a speck of worry bul what w(! will lake good care of the children," relumed Mias Anu, cUeerfully. :

For, b) tell the truth, what with the children being, sus she ssdd, " Wear¬ ing" lo her, and this oilier smxietj-,.she lisiil nol, from the beginning, fiiuiid the p.'ilh of deceit pleasant to her feet..

A writer in the September numlier of the Galaxy furiiialiea an amusing pa¬ per entitled " A Literal Turn of Mind," whicii supplies us with tho following: " Jly son," said an anslonB fatlier onee, " what makes j-ou nse that nasty tobacco ?" Now the son was si very lit¬ eral sort ofa person, and,; declining to consider tlie question Jn the spirit In wiiicll it-wassisked,'^*eplled,'" To get the juico, old codger."
A lady wasonco conversing with asail- orwlio liadsiill'erod shipwreck; and, sis she took great ploa.surc in the analyza- tioii of feel ings and omolioii.s, tusked him ijoliipsvssionately, "Hosv did you feel, nij" dear man, when the cold waves broke over you ?" liut tho seani.in know jiolhiii'g of mclaphysies, aud aii- swofcil simplj-, " Wet, ma'am; very wot.
A amsill child beinga.sked by a Sun- ilsiy-sehool tosielier, " Whsit did tlie Is- nielitea ilo sifter thej' had cro.sscd the Kcil Sea?" "I don't kuow, ma'am, but Iguusstliey dried themselves."
tjueer answei's are verj'often receiv¬ ed bj' grown peoplo who talk to child¬ ren, for the reason that the latter have not yet liucome accustomed to the sub- lleties and ligurative meanings ami rouud-.ibout way ot words, and there¬ fore, look at things very practically." " Siun," said a youug mother lo her darling boj', "do you kuow what the diU'erence is between the body and the soul ? The soul, my child, is what you lovo with ; the body carriea you about. Thia ia you body, (totiebing the boy's shoulder and arms,) but tliore is some¬ thiug deeper in. Y'ou can fcel it now. What is it?" " Oh, I know," said he, with a ihish of intelligence in his eyes, " that is my llaniiel sliirt. So au in¬ dulgent father urged an indolent son to rise. " Jtomeiubcr," aaid lie, " that the csirly bird csitehes the worm." " What do I ciire for worms?" growled the youtli ; " mother won't let mo go Il.sbin'."
"A pas-sivo vcrli," said a teacher, " ia exiiressive of the nature of receiving au action, a.s, 'Peter is beaten.' Now what did Peter ilo'?" "Well, I don't know," said the scholar, deliberating, " unless he hollered."
A youth, who was being roprimsind- ed for playing marbles on Sunday, waa asked, " Do you know where thoso lit¬ tle hoys go who play marbles on Suii- dsvy?" Ho had licit beeu suHlciently (luight iu regard to a future state, ami replied, quite inuocentlj', "Oh, yea. Some on 'em go to tho common, and some on 'em goes down lo the river." An unexpected bit of information is sometimes elicited by tbis literal nnder- slaiiding of questions, as when a Sab¬ bath school teacher waa attempting to teacha very small boy the meauing of witges in the p.i.ssage, " Tbo wages of sin is death," aud asked him, " What docs your fathergeton Saturday night?" ".Drunk, niii'iim," aiiswcrcil the boy, without hesitation.
" So a lecturer, in Povtlsind, JIaiue, or .si/iiicwhere else, was explaining to a littlegirl hosv a lobster Cist his .shell when be had outgrown i!;. ,Said he, " What do J-on do when j-ou have out¬ grown your clolhes? T?ou cast them iisiile, do J-ou not?"
•   " Oh, nil," replied the litlie one, "wo let oul the lucks." ;
Agsiin, a teacher was expl.iiniug toa litlie girl the meaning of lbe word cu¬ ticle. " What is that all over my face ami hands'?" said he.
" It's freckles, sir," answered the Ut¬ ile cherub.
An siiiawcr of similar characler is of¬ leu the re.sult ofa hsird word. " Wil¬ liam," said a mother to her son, who had silresidj' e.ileii a very considerable sunoiiul of dimier, " 1 don't know wbetitcryou can eat this pudding witli inipiinitv." " Well, maj- be not," said William'; " I think 1 would rather have
A hi.ly noticed a boy sprinkling salt on tlic sidewalk lo tak'e oil'the ice, tind remarked hi a rrieml,; iiointiiig to llie salt, "Now, that"is Inic benevolence" " No it siin't," said the lioj-, somewhal imlignan'tly, "it's .salt."
So when a lailj- susked her servant girl if the liired man had cleared oil' the snow from the steps with alacrilj', she re|ilieil, " No; ma'sim, he used a shnvei;"   .  -    ,
This samo literal turn of mind wliicli I hsive liceii  illustrsiting ia sometimes ii.seil ihteiitionally and iierhaps a little nialicioiislj', suid thus liecomes tbo pro¬ perly of  wils   instead of  bhiiiderers. Thus we hear ofa very iiolilc and im¬ pressive gentlemau wbo said lo a j-6iilli in   the street,   "Jioj-,   msij-   f inquire where Jlohinaon's   drug  store   is?"— " Ccrliunlj-, sir," said the boy, very rc- specll'ully.   "Well, sir," .said the gen- llemsiii, afler wailing awliile, " Where is if."'   " I have nol the lesLst idesi, j-er honiir," .said the urchin.    There w:ts 'anotlier boj- wlio waa accosted by an suscetic middle siged lady with, " J5oj-, J wsiiit to go (o DWcrslreet."    " Well, msi'sim," ssuil   the boj», " Why dou't you ao there then ?" Ono day on Lake lii'orgu a psirty of genllomen   trolling among the heiuitiful lalandsof tho Like with rather hstd luck, espied alittle fel¬ low Willi a rod shirt and old straw hat, iliuijjling a line over tlie side of a boat. "Hello,   boy!"     said   one   of   them, "What are yon doing?"   "Ii'ishin," csiiiie llio answer.    " Well, of course," ssdil tliegcullenian, "bur what do yon calih?"   Here the boy became indig- nanlatsn ranch questioning and re¬ plied, "ii'isli, j-ou  fool, what do  you 'spo.^c!"   J>id anj'of yon ever seo an eleiihsint's skin," inquired a tesieher of an iiifiuit class.   "Ihave," shouted a six-year old from the fqot of tlie class. "Where'?" askeil the teacher.   "Ou the elephant," said the boy laughing. Konietinies tlpi^ sort of wit degonerates or rjsuH, as the caso raaj' he, into pun¬ ning, its wlion li'lorii pointed pensively lo the heavy masses of clouds, in the aky, saying, " I wonder whero those clouds are going;" and her brother re¬ plied, '•! think Ihey .iro going to thnn- der"   Also sus in  tho  following dia- Iii:,'iie: "Hello there! how do j-on sell wood?"    " J5y the cord."    "How long hsis it liceii cut?"   "Four feet."   "I nic'iui how long lists it been sinco yon cul il?"   "No'longer llian  il is now." And also as when Psitriot O'li'lynn wils sciii with his collar and bosom .sadly begrimed and wsis indigmuitly aaked by hisollicer, " Patrick O'Klynn ; how Inug do you wear a shirt?" and replied piiimpllV, " Tweiitv-eigbt inches, sir." Tbis  reminds   me   of an   incident wltidi iasaid to have occurred recently inChsilham streel,'New York, where a countryman   WSLS    clsunqroualj'   be¬ sieged  by a shopkeeper.

A STORY FOR THE LITTLE EOLXS-
IJOTU SIDES OF TUB SUBJECT. "Jlollier," said Sophy Horton, as sho returued one evening from au er¬ rand at the liouso of a neighbor, " wliat do you think thev had for supper at Jlr. Gibson's to-night? Nothing in this world but mush and milk. Juat think ofit, and Suay hsus been ataehool all day, .is I have, and Is, I dareasij', juat as hungry. Isn't it too bad, motli¬ er? wheu everj' one knows Jlr. Gibson is well ofi; and can alliird something better. I thought Susy looked coii- fuaed when I went in and cauglit thera eating. I am sure I pity her, and would willingly give her aome of my nice sup¬ per ifl could. How r wish .she would h.ippen in here. I would make her sit dowu with us, willing or not willing." Sophy helped herself liberally to the hot bread and butter, and motlier pour¬ ed out for her a cup of stroug coffee with plenty of .siigsir and a little cream in it, thinking all the lime lhat her child waa cerLiinly much more highly favored than thai of herwealthyiieigh- bor. Theu came the ricli svvoBt-meaLs and cako, and if, after it all, Sophy did .suH'erfrom a ssul headache all uight, motlier felt it wius due to hsird sttidy. She muat persuader her leaclier to let her drop one of her lessoiia. . Now Sophy had a very nimble little tongue, aud quite a warm heart, when she Wiua allowed to exercise her chari¬ ties in her own w^. She had no idea of self-denial, however.
The next morning, aho went into tbe kitchen and put up au extra hirgc lunch for heraelf, adding a broail si ice'ol mince pie above wh.it she imagined she could dispose of herself. Then ahe arranged logo to school esirlj-, so she might com- luunicate the sad alliiir about noor Siusj- to a h.ilf-tlozen or ao of| conlidential friends.
There wero manj- exclsunalions of sympathy from the warm-h'carted girls, and uiucli abuse of the psirsimpiiioua father, who, they were sure, wsus to blame forit all. /¦
" 'Who would have thoiight he could be ao stingy," .said one, " when he til- ,waj-s appotirs so amiling' and polite when you see him but. Biit it is often tlie case," she addeil wisely shaking her Head, "lhat llio.se who sire most smiling awaj' aro tho mtist .surly at home. I am sure 1 pily pnin- Susy froin the hntlom of mv Iieart."
"So do I," saiilanolbif-. " I prc.siime it must boa great siggratsilinn to her to seo lis eating pouud-calte and iniiicc- pie at reces-s, when shi seldom has more than a biaciiit or lui apple—or aome such jilain Ihiiig.i iiow she can mausigo to have .such a lesiutiful com¬ plexion on siieli poor jare, i cannot imagine. Let ua he :rs kind lo her aa ever wo ciui, girls," shcNaid, most cm- phaticallj'. " I willglsi.lly givo her a slice of cake from my Iniich."
"I have brought ajgreit slice of niiiico-jiie on purpose jror her," said Sophy, triumpliiuitlj', lius she opened her dainty willow basktt and iliseloacd it to view. i
Olhorgirla.wilh readysynipatlij', fol¬ lowed tlic beiicvolcntexample, and that day jioor iSiisj-, in h«' siiiprise, foiitid hcrselfalmostnverwlelmcd wilh friend¬ ly siltentions in tliocake and pie line, .Slie wsus a little puzileil to stccounl for il, but wsus too piili.:c lo wound the feel¬ ings ofany by ore refusing her little gills, which were certainly kindly meant. So she javeawaj- herown bis¬ cuit and apiilcsiit the noon recesa, ami disposed of llio|iic and cake as fsir as she eoiild. Bit what b> do wilh the re¬ mainder was the jiuzzlo. She dare nol give it siwsij-right beforo the girls who had beeu sokiiid sus to givo it to her, and of couBO to throw it awsiy was out of the qiustion. She would secretly slip it iiit» lier ilinncr-bsuskof and take it homo villi lier. All her movements had been quietly watcheil by the littlo girls most intorestcil in tlie matter, and the re.«iilt gave thom inteiusesatisfae- tion. italao helped to conlii'm tlieir opinioii wilh regard to hor starving circumstances .it home. She had eaten all Jhe could of tbcir nice tilings, tuid WIS tJiking the reinaiiider home to feiust oa aniong her little brothers and sisters. Thoy all resolved to vedoiiltle their ef¬ forts for hor good ou the fol lowing daj'. So next day's rations were about doub- leil, aud Susy mildlj- luoteated against such liberality.
" No, no, Siisy, iloar, you just tako it along," aaid Lucy Daw.son, the young¬ est of the comjianj', as she .secretly g.ive her a handful of •'¦wallle cookies." "If you do not wsiut them yourself, take them home to your little brothers and sisters."
Asuddeu lightllashed tliiough Suaj-'.s brain, and sciy.ing her companion bj- the arm, sho hnrried her oll'to a quiet, sliswly nook, on Iho plaj-grouud.
"She is going to lell me now all about their troubles .it home," tliought Lucj', with great delight at heing se¬ lected us the conlldant on such a trying snbject. How the girls would envy her the privilege! Butshewould never whisper a word of it, if Stisy said site muat not; no, not one word, however tbegii'la might teiuso licr;" suid she shut her lips vcrj' close togelber.
"Lucy," naked Siusy, "tell me what is the reason that the girls have all ta¬ ken such asuddeu lit to bring mc things to cat; I reallv don't know wh.il to do with half of tl'icin; but I do not wish to olfend any one hy rcfiisinglierkiud- neaa. I ask you thia, Lucy, dear, bo- csiiiae I know j-oii are a good, sensible girl, and will not be vexed witli me for it.   Who .starteii si|ch a movoment?"
Lucy looked at her friend a moment, lunl then a little light dawned in her own mind. She greatly feared she had raade herself very sillj', by taking oil trust loo implieitlv tho doleful atory her .schoolmate had relsiled.
Little by little Susy got hi the botlom of the affair, and was very iiidigusuit at tlie rellectioius on her father, and no less amused by the sympathy wiusted on heraelf. Sbe hardly knew for a minute wliether lo laugh or he vexed. She chose the wisest course, however, and had a good, hearty laugh, it did her good. Slie did not feci half sus angry as she might without it.
Then slie iiroceeded to exjilain to her fiieml that lliey had recently bought a

The othergirlsweredeeply mortilied, but none so miiidi as Sophy. It was a great regret lo her to learn that her smiling Irieml was just the happy, com¬ fortable girl she appeared to be, and thatshe was not daily siin'cring from the pai-simouy of an unkind father. The girls felt a little shy of Susy for a few Uaj's, but her uniform kindness and cordial manners, at last induced them all to forgive her for not beiog the poor half-starved achool-girl they had im¬ agined.
