AMI a great d=al of mischief txensy
sesrs ago. A1d 81 Johnsy came down
and began to wander 10 and fro in the
sircets IL the city, his mind all tie while

things just as he thought they ought IN
hook alter his return from a tIuaocy OF
three or four DAYS. Thus occupied, he
was arrested by fence along which he
WAS passing, and which brought back to
him a visiok of old times. 1t was
the identical fence If the Bishop school
house, over which he had clambered many
a time-and there stood the school house
itself. II froze to that fence" Johnny
said; it was like the face of an old friend,
and it awakened within him many tender
memories. He thought of mother, aud
sisters, and stepfather he had left with
out farewell 90 many years ago, and
there be resolved to hunt them up. do
you know where the Herringtons livei"
he asked wench on the street-for Her
ripgton was his step fathers name. Yes,
she did, and she gave him their street
and number. He found the place,
knocked timidly at the door, and q young
lady of eighteen or nineteen opened it.
"Does Mr.. Harrington live here2" he
asked. Mr.. Harrington did live there,
was the reply, but he was dead about six
weeks ago. Was Mrs. Harrington int
Yes, but she was in bed sick. The young
lady looked a little scared and suspicious,
for Herripgton's sons by former wife
were trying to break the will, and Johnny
was supposed to be some prying lawyer
or lawyers clerk, coming around to Ash
for evidence. He wanted to see Mrs.
Harrington, and was with some hesitation
taken to her room. By degrees he got
from her the story of her life, and among
other things she told how son of her
first husband-the lads name was John
ny Peacc-had run away to escape lick
ing one day, and although they had ad-
vertised TOR him far and near, nothing
was ever heard of him; they supposed he
had drifted into the army and was killed
in the civil war. This was little too
much for Johnny's human nature, and
the sequel may he left to the imagination
of the reader; the dead was alive again,
and the lost was found. His mothers
JOY worked complete cure of her illness,
and within two hours she was out of bed.
Johns own account Of his carly escapade
is, that he ran away for fear of whip
ping, that getting lost in the city he was
picked up and put into lock up for the
night, and that next day he was sent to
the county poor.house. Here, to escape
detection, he gave his name as John
Fletcher. After staying at this home Of
the INDECENT for short time he ran away.
but was captured some thirty miles of
by the officers Of the institution and taken
back-and there Mr.. James Milton found
him. His mother and sister have been
left in very comfortable circumstances,
and both were exceedingly anxious that
John should make their home his own
but his training under an honest Cana
dian farmer never encouraged dishonor-
able conduct, aud SO the Johnny Fletcher
OF seventeen years came back last We'd

gagement of Elk months service with an
Oxford farmer. There is good deal OF
romance about the story. and Johnny
can't keep his eyes dry while he tells it.
