of the city have had access to the stores OF the
Eastern merchants during the last SlX weeks. The
sale of dry goods has been Unexpectedly large,
even at the present exorbltant prices, that some ot
those merchants anticipate that the supply VIII be-

His sight and hearing were some

his horse was old and feeble, like Its
owner HIS thoughts reverted to the

he was suddenly disturbed, and even

and by furious pelting and Gathering

I'm this trepidation he dropped the
reins, and as his age and feeble hands
were quite benumed with cold. he
could not gather them up, and his
horse began to run away. In the midst
of the old man 5 trouble, there rushed
by him, with loud shouts, large party
of boys, in a sleigh drawn by six horses.

Turn out then turn out = was the an
swer, which was followed by repeated
blows and cracks from the long whip
of the grand sleigh. with showers OF
ow-balls, and three tremendous
cheers from the boys who were in it.
The terror of the old man and his horse
was increased, and the latter ran away
with him. to the Imminent danger OF
his life. He contriyed, however, to
secure his reins, and to stop his horse
just in season to prevent his being
dashed against loaded team.

beneath their desks; some cried; and
many fastened to their teacher with

TAXING THE GOVERNMENT TO Sup

We trust, however. that whatever may

4 Lesson for Uuncivil Boys.


In one of the most populous cities OF
New England, few years since, a
party of lads, all members of the same
school, got up a grand sleigh ride
The sleigh was very large and splen-
did one, drawn by six gray horses.
On the day following the ride, as
the teacher entered the school-room he
found the pupils in high merrimcnt, as
they chattcd about the fun and froliC
of their excursion. In answer to some
inquiries he made about the matter,
one of the lads volunteered to give al
account of their trip and its various in
cidcnts.
As he drew near the end of his story,
he exclaimed
80 sir, there was one little circum-
stance tha; | had almost forgottcn.-
As we were coming home, we saw
ahead of us a queerlooking affair in
the road. 1t proved to be rusty old
sleigh, fastened behind covered wag
on, proceeding at very slow rate, and
taking up the whole road.
Finding that the owner was no'
disposed to turn out, we determined
on volley and good hurrah. They
produced the right effect, for the crazy
machine turned out into the deep snow
and the skinney old poney started OF
a full trot.
CAS- we passed, some one gave th1
old jilt Of horse good crack, whicl
made him run faster than he ever dix
before, I'll warrant you. And SO
with another volley of SNOWFALL

and three times three cheers, We rush

triumphant; for his aunt had born,

II wish father would come home"
The voice that said this had troub-
led tone, and the face that looked up
was sad.
"Your father will be very angry"
said an aunt. who was sitting in the
room with a book in her hand. The
boy. raised himself from the sofa. where
he had been lying in tears for half an
hour, and, with touch Of Indignation
in his voice, answered,
Hell be sorry. not angry. Father
never gets angry"
For a few moments the aunt looked
at the boy half curiously, and let her
eyes fall again upon the book that was
in her hand. The boy laid himself
down on the sofa again, and hid his
face from sight.
That's father now !" He started
up. after the lapse of nearly ten min
utes, as the sound of bell reached his
ears, and went to the room door He
stood there for little while, and then
came slowly back, saying with a dis
appointed air,
'.It isn't father. I wonder what
keeps him so late. Oh, | wish he
would come home W
"You seem anxious to get deeper
into trouble, remarked the aunt, who
had only been in the house for week,
and who was neither very amiable nor
very svmpathising towards children
The boys fault had provoked her, and
she considered him fit subject foi

Nothing Lost.

Nothing is lost-the drop of dew,
Which trembles in the leaf and flowers,
Is but exhalcd to fill anew
In summers thunder showers
Perchanee 10 sparkle in the flow
OF fountains far away,
Or iningle with the misty bow
That spans the cataract's spray.
Nothing is lost--the tiniest seed,
By Wild birds borne on breezes blown,
Finds something suited in It's need
Wherein 'tis sown and grown.
The language Of some household song,
The perfume of some cherished flower.
Though gone from outward sense, belong
To memory's alter hour.
So with our words; for harsh or kind,
Uttered, they're not forgot
They leave their influence on the mind,
Pass on, but perish not.
So with our deeds; for good or i'll
They have power scarce understood:
Then let u use our better will
To make them rife with good.
