"Let me know who's 10 guarantee

" / have money myself, Sir, to pay
you for two years" replied JENNY
= They told M, Sir, that Won were a

heart. You have a cute look, an Tse
no doubt bu: the slati's in yon. Come
t. me altAer dismiss, ill Ne have a
little talk together
Mr.. Thad1eus knew qnite we'll what
the nature OF the talk would be, and
warned Jenny M'Esoy gainst giving
the master his money. Il was d way
Of the masters but he in this instance
was frustgatt 4, and the money OF the
lad was to 20 into the hands OF The good
curate. The desire Of the sholafs to
show their love for their new mate, led
to a very warm display Of feeling.
Dufing school-hours that day, many
warm-hearted urchin entered into con-
yersation with the poor scholar; some
moved by curiosity to hear his brief and
simple history, others anxious to offer
him temporary asylum in their father's
hosses and several to know if he had
the requisite books, assuring him that
if he had them not, they would lend
them TO him. These proofs of artless
generosity touched the homeless youth s
heart the more acutely, inasmuch as he
could preceiye but two Clearly that the
eye f the master rested upon him,
from time to time, with no auspicious
glance.
When the scholars were dismissed, a
scene occurred which was calculated to
produce a smile, although it certainly
placed the poor scholar in a predica-
meat By no means agreeable 1t result
ed from a contest among the boys US to
who should first bring hIm home. The
master who, by that cunning for which
the luavish are remarkable, had discov-
cred in the course Of the day, that his
design upon the boys money was IN
derstoo3. did not ask hin 10 his house.
The contest was, therefore. among the
schol rs; who, when the master had
disappeared from the school-room, form
cd themselves INTO circle, Of which
Jenny was the centre, each pressing
bis claim to secure him.

Thady . stood to him all day, an

"I'll never forget your kindness
replied poor Jenny, at the boisterous
symptoms Of pngilism which a'ready b.
gan TO appear. In fact, many tiny
/ fist was shut, as suitable accompani-
ment to the arguments with which they
enforced their assumed rights.
There now," continued Thady,
= that puts all md to il /; he says he'll
never forget my kindness. That's
enough. come wid me, J immy"
= Is Il enough p said lad, who, if
his father was less wealthy than Thady's
was resolved to put strength of arm
against strength Of purse . May be it
