mood. He tried to move as he thought
Bull would move if he were a man.
he ate with deiiberatiOn, and looked
! everybody in the eyes with a manner
| that made Bud watch him curiously
! He found himself with Bull. He
| found Bull possessing strange faciBa-
| nation for him. He walked to school
| alone, the rest having gone on before
lie entered the school-room preserving
a cool and dogged manner. He saw
in the eyes of tie boys that there was
mischief brewing. He did not dare
sit down i'm his chair for fear of pin.
Everybody looked solemn. Ralph
| lifted the lid of his desk BuW-woWin
1t was the voice OF an imprisoned pup
py, and the school giggled and then
rOared. Then everything was quiet.
The scholars expected an Outburst of
wrath from the teacher. For they had
come to regard the whole world as di-
vided into two classes, the teacher on
tne one side representing lawful au-
thOrity, and the pupils on the other in
state of chronic rebellion. To play
trick on the master was an evidence
of spirit; to "hck" the master was to
be the crowned hero of Flat Greek dis
trict. Such a hero was Bud Means,
and Bill, who had less muscle, saw "a
chance to distinguish himself on a
teacher of slender frame. Hence the
puppy i'm the desk.
Ralph Hartsook grew red in the face
when he saw the puppy. But the
cool, repressed, bulldog mood in which
he had kept himself saved him. He
lifted the dog into his arms and stroked
him until the laughter subsidized. Then
in solemn and set way, he began:
Z" am sorry" and he looked round
the room with a steady, hard eye
everybody felt that there was a conflict
coming am sorry that any scholar
in this school could be so mean "-thc
word was uttered with a sharp empha-
sis, and all the big boys felt sure that
there would be fight with Bill Means,
perhaps with Bud" could be so mean
as to shut up his brother in such
place as thatW
There was long derisive laugh. BY
one stroke Ralph had carried the
whole school to his side: By the sig
nificant glances of the boys, HartsOol
detected the perpetator of the joke,
and with the hard and dOgged look in
his eyes, with just such look as Bull
would give puppy, but with the ut
most suavity III his voice, he said:
" William Means. Will you be so
good as to put this dog out of doors ?''

various kinds to ornament the gardens
that would surround their contempla-

pleasant anticipatiOns. They found
little occasion for their hunting dogs
and their fOwling pieces. The new
plantations were not so easily acquired
as they had dreamed The army of
Washington captured many of these
unwarlike supplies, and among other
things, history states that twig which
had been cropped from the great Eng

planted afterward by American hands

weeping willows now so numerous in

speak of, Ralph had walked toward
the school early to avoid the company
OF Mlrandy. But not caring to sustain
his dignity longer than was nece- sary
ne loltered along the road, admiring
the TRUNKS of the naples, and picking
upa beech-nut HOW and then. Jus:
as he was about IT, go on toward the
school, he caught sight Of little Shocky
running swiftly toward the teacher,
but looking from side to side, as il
afraid OF being seen.
Well, Shocky, what is it?u and
| Ralph put his hard kindly on the
| great bushy head Of white hair from
which came Shocks nickname
| Shocky had TO pant a minute.
why, Mr.. HartsOnk,n he gasDpd,
scratching his head, :hey's a pond

and here Shocky's breath gave out en-
tirelv fora minute.
4" Yes, SbOcky, know that, What
about it? The trustees haven't come
to fill it up, have they?'
Oh Pho sir; but Hank Banta, you
know" and Shoc!ly tOok another
breathing spell, standing as close to
Ralph as he could, for poor Shocky
got all his sunshine from the masters
presence.
HAS Henry fallen in and got
ducking, ShOcky ?n
"Oh! no sir, he wants to git you in
you see"
Well, 1 won't go in, though,
Shocky."
But, you see, he's been and gone
and pulled back the board that you
have to stepOn to git ahird your desk;
he's been and gone and pulled back the
board so as you can't help a-tippin' ii

And so you came to tell me. y
There was a huskiness in Ralph's
voice. He had, then, one friend Ill
Flat Creek district-pOOr little ohOcky.
He pct his arm around Shcc!Iy idst a
moment, and then told him to hasten
across to the ether road, so rs to come
back to the schCOi-nOuse in direction
at right angiCS to the masters ap-
proach. But the caution was not need
ed. ShOcky had taken care to leave
in that way, and was altogether too
cunning to be seen coming down the
road with Mr.. HartSOuk. But after
he got over tie fence to 60 through
the sugar camp" (or sugar orchard,
AS they say at the East, he stopped
and turned back once or twice, Just
to catch one more smile from Ralph.
And then he hied away through the
tall trees a very happy boy, kicking
and plowing the brown leaves before
him in his perfect delight, saying over
and over again, How he looked at
me! how he did look!" And when
Ralph came up to the schoOl-hOUse
door, there was Shocky sauntering
along from the other direction, throw
ing bits of limestone at fence-raiis,
and smiling still clear down to his
shoes at thought of the masters kind
words,

Central Park.

This magnificent area of 95 acres, in
the very heart of the metropolis, will
u few years hence, be the most pictuT-
esque pleasure ground in the world.
Diversified with swelling hills and
lovely dales. beautiful sheets OF water
and level lawns, sequestered thieket-
sheltered walks, and broad avenues,
and ornamented with a profusion
of architectural embellishments and
statuary, all that it needs to give it a
marked superiority over the finest
parks of Europe is trees of equal mag
nitude with those that Overshadow
those old Fairgrounds Of the people.
OF course every visitor TO New York
makes it a point TO see this grand lion
of the metropolis.
Some IDEA may be formed Of the fa-
cilities it presents for healthful eXer-
cises, from the fact that it contains
nearly II miles of superb carriage road,
eight miles of bride path, and about
thirty miles of walk for the exclusive
use ef pedestrians. During the year
ISGS. about one million of persons en-
loved its healthful breeZes aud feasted
their eyes on its enchanting scenery
It's c-ystal lakes are the homes of large
fiocks of swans aud other aquatic
birds from all arts Of the globe, and
scores Of graceful pleasure boats are ut
tire service of those who choose To voy-
age over the placid waters.
In a large casteilated building on
the eastern side, formerly the city Ar
senal, are grouped nearly a thousand
specimens of natural history, inciud-
ing many rare varieties of birds, quad
rupeds and reptiles of both hemis-
pheres there is also Geological Gar

extent of its collections, these of Lon
