THE SLIGHIEl SCHOLAR.

Cases like the one am about to relate
are much too frequent in our country, and
thew are such, too, as should be guarded
against by all whoshave an interest in edu.
cation. The incident was brought to mind
by hearing complaint made BY the parent
Of a poor boy, who had been grossly neglect.

lively friendess:
Many years lgo,:when was a small boy,
attended school in the town of -.
Among the scholars. there was boy named
George Henry. His father was poor
drinking man, and the unfortunate boy had
to suffer in consequence. George came to
school habited in3ragged garments-but
they ere the best he had; he was rough
aud uncouth in his manners, for he had been
brought up in this: manner; he was very
ignorant, for he had never had an opportuni.
ty for education.
Season after season, poor George Henry
occupied the same seat in the school-room
it was back corner seat, away from the
other scholars-and, there he thumbed his
tattered primer. The ragged condition Of
his garb gave homely cast to his whole
appearance, and what of intelligence there
might have been in his countenance, was be.
clouded by the outer covering" of the
boy. He seldom played with the other chill.

when he did, for while, join with them in
their sports, he was, SO rough that he was
soon showed off outof the way.
The teacher passed the poor boy coldly
in the street, while other boys, in better
garbs, were kindly noticed. In the school,
young Henry was coldly treated. The
teacher neglected him, and then called him
an "idle bockhead," because he did not
learn. The boy received no incentive to
study, and consequently he was most of the
time idle, and idleness begac disposition to
while away the time in mischief. For this
he was whipped, and the more idle and care.
less he became. He knew that he was neg.
lected by the teacher, and simply because
he was poor aud ragged, and with sort of
sulen indifference, sharpened at times by
feelings Of bitterness, he plodded on his dark,
thankless way.
Thus matters went on for several years.
Most OF the scholars who wele of George
Heury's age had passed on to the higher
branches of study, while he, poor fellow,
still spelled out words of one and two syla.

TIL E. WIFE F.,

SHE was beautiful girl, when ! first saw
her. She was standing up at the side of
her lover, at the marriage altar. She was
slightly pale-yet, ever and anon, as the
ceremony proceeded, a faint tinge of crimson
crossed her beautiful cheek, like the ref1ec-
tions Of sunset cloud upon the clear waters
quiet lake. Her lover, as he clasPed her
hand within his own, gazed on her for a
few moments with unmingled admiration,
and the warm eloquent blood shadowed at
intervals his manly forehead, and melted
into beauty on his lips"
And they gave themselves to ono another
in the presence Of Heaven, ard every
heart blessed them, as they went their way
rejoicing in their love.
Years passed on, and again saw those
lovers. They were seated together where
the light of sunset stole through the half
closed and crimson curtain, lending richer
tint to the delicate carpeting and the exqui-
site establishment Of the rich and gorgeous
apartment. Time had slightly changed

too, was marked somewhat more deeply

the traces upon it; silver hue was mingled
with the dark of his hair, which had become
thin around his temples almost to badness.
He was reclining on an ottoman with his
face half hidden by his hand, as il he feared
that the dread and troubled thoughts which
oppressed him were visible upon his features.

THE MOMENT AFTER DEATH.

What a moment that must be how vast
its consequences how overwhelming reve.
lations! Let US try, by illustration, to real.
ize it. There dies saint Of God. The
summons was sudden, but his house was in
order, and with smile on his face, he bids
glad adieu to the scenes of friendship on
earth. Goodness passes from point to point
in his system; his vision grows dim; his
tongue tatering; but in strong faith he
commends his all to the Conquerer of death,
and passes away shouting an everlasting
victory! The spirit soars--angels attend it
the gates of the city are open to receive it
the King is seen in his beauty--and now
heaven is enjoyed in all its bliss and glory !!
Waking up from his life dream, the first sight
is Jesus as He s-no flight through immen.
sity--no pilgrimage Of the spheres--for the
everlasting arms are the resting place of the
disembodied soul--it will he in the bosom
of Emmanuel that the emancipated spirit will
enquire. "Whcre am ll"-and read in the
face of Jesus the answer" Forever with
the Lord!'
But another, and a different scene. There
dies an impentent sinner, and as ne feels
life ebbing away, his soul is filled with unut.
terable anguish, his sins are arrayed before
him, his conscience accuses him, lost oppor-
tunities mock him, hope pershes, and eternl-
ty is made terrible by its treasured up wrath.
But he must die, He that cuts him down,
sways him as the feler of wood sways the
tolterinu tree-now root breaks--now 4
heart string-now oozes out drop by drop,
the very likelihood of his wretched soul--and
at last, goes out the lamp Of life in terrible,
Eternal darkness, and the miserable soul
goes to a just retribution! How awful, to
such an one, is the moment after death =
The narrow confines Of time passed bound
less eternity stretches itself before him, and,
in the twinkle of an eye, he is ushered into
outer darkness--the region of unending wo,
" Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is
not quenched" The tormcnts of hell are
already begun, and the souls bitter reAec.
ton is, that they are merited, and will never
end!
Yes, solemn thought! One brief moment
will effect an entire change in our mode Of
being--wl make plain what, with respect
to future state, is now involved in mystery,
and will bear the soul to the fearful retribu-
tions, or to the glorious rewards of eternity!

.--:::....,, rviiiu vi Ills llIe was at nand. lie
stood now upon the step in life from which
the fate of after years must take its cast.
At this time man BY the name of Kelly
took charge Of the school. He was an old
teacher, careful observer Of human nature,
and really good man. Long years Of
guardianship over wild youths had given him
bluff authoritative way, and in his disci.
pline he was strict and unwavering.
The first day he passed at the teachers
desk of our school, was mostly devoted to
watching the movements of the scholars,
and studying the dispositions with which he
had to deal. Upon George Henry his eyes
rested with keen, searching glance, but
evidently made little of him during the first
day: but on the second day he did more.
1t was during the afternoon of the second
day that Mr.. Kelly observed young Henry
engaged in impaling flies upon the point of
large pin. He went to the boys seat, and,
after reprimanding him for his ideness, he
took up the dirty, tattered primer from his
desk
"Have you never learned moro than is in
this book!'' asked the teacher.
"No, sir" drawled George.
"How long have You attended school2"
"I don't know, sir. It's ever siuce can
remember"
"Then you must be an idle, reckless boy"
said the teacher, with much severity. "Do
you realize how many years you have thrown
away? Do you know how much you have
lost { What sort of a man do you intend
making, in this way9 One of these days
you will be too old 10 60 to school, and then,
while your companions arc seeking some
honorable employment, you will be good
for nothing. Have you parents" z"
Eyes, SIR" answered the boy, in hoarse,
subdued voice.
"Aud do they wish you to grow up to be
an ignorant, worthless MANI"
The boy had hung down his head and was
silent; but Mr.. Kelly saw two great tears
roll down his cheeks. In an instant, the
teacher saw that he had something besides
an idle, stubborn mind to deal with in the
ragged scholar before him. He laid his
hand on the boys head, and in kind tone
he said, al wish you to stop after school is
dismissed. Do not be afraid, for wish to
assist you if can"
George looked wonderingy into the mas
ters face, for there was something in the
tone of the voice which fell upon his ear
that sounded strangely to him, and he,
thought, too, as he looked around, that the
rest Of the scholars regarded him with kinder
countenances than usual. A dim thought
broke in upon his mind that, from some,
cause, ho was going to be happier than be.
fore.
After the school was dismissed, George
Henry remained in his seat till the teacher
called him to the desk.
"Now," said Mr.. Kelly, I" | wish to know
why it is that you have never learned any
more. You look bright, and you look as
though you might make smart man. Why
is it that find you so ignorantl"
"Because nobody never helps me" re.
piled the boy. Nobody never cares for me,
sir, for am poor"
By degrees the kind.hearted teacher got
the poor boys whole history, and while
generous tears bedewed his eyes, he said:
You have been wrongly treated, George

DEATH OF THE GAR.

If the present war resulted from the per.
sonal ambition of Nicholas, and his inGivdu-
al despotic will has been the primum.mobuc
of the tremendous struggle which has con.
vulsed the world, his sudden death might
reasonably be expected to lead to an imme.
diate restoration of peace.
But, judging from the personal character
and qualities of the late Emperor, in con.
junction with the well-known national con-
viction of Russian manifest destiny" en-.
tertained by a large majority of his people,
it may be matter OF great doubt whether
the accession Of a new sovereign to the
throne will result in peace, or a more deter
mined and energetic prosecution Of the war.
1t is said by well-informed Russians, that
two.thirds Of the nation constitute what is
called the cold Russian party" whose re-
ligious creed, and firm faith is, that their ma.
ton is the chosen instrument of Almighty
power to crush Islamism, to drive the Otto.
man out of Europe, and to establish the
universal dominion Of the only true, ortho.
dox Greek church throughout Christendom;
the consummation of which is to usher in,
as its climax of glory, the millennium The
late Emperor has been supposed to be the
passive instrument Of this fanatical majority
Of his subjects, under the implied penalty of
death as traitor to the high destinies of his
empire, and contemner of the will of
Heaven, if he dared to swerve from the path
which his people religiously believe has been
pointed out to him by the finger of Omnipo-
tence for such great purposes.
Such national sentiment as this is not
to be changed in day, in such country
as Russia. If it directed or influenced the
policy of the late Emperor, personally a
mild, amiable gentleman, as his enemies
must admiD his son and successor to his
throne may have no choice but to carry ou.
the religious frenzy Of his people to con-
summation or destruction; and he may bo
borne along by torrent of popular opinion
and prejudice, to resist which would cost
him his throne and his life.
We have no reason to doubt that the war
is national with the Russian people-that
they have loved, revered and confded in
their Gar, is beyond question. We have
yet to learn what effect his sudden death
may produce on population excited by re.
ligious fervor, to view him as the chosen in.
strument of God, to bring about the might.
est changes in the destinies Of mankind.
