WASHINGTON IRVING.

Hear the ''Sketch-Book' tell of three
fine, rosy-cheeked boys" who chanced to
be lrving's companions in . stage-coach.
This is what he writes
''They were returning home for the
holidays in high glee and promising them
selves world OF enjoyment. II was de-
lighttul to hear the gigantic plans of the
little rogues. They were full of antici-
pations Of the meeting of the family and
household, down to the very cat and
OF the JOY they were to give to their little
sisters by the presents with which their
pockets were crammed; but the meeting
to which they seemed to look forward
with the greatest impatience, was with
Bantam which | found to be a pony"
When he had heard what a remarkable
animal this pony was said to be, Irving
gave his attention to other things until
he heard shout from the little travellers.
Let him tell the rest of the story.
They had been looking out of the
coach windows for the last few miles,
| recognizing every tree and cottage as they
approached home, and now there was u
general burst of joy. There's John
and there's old Carlo! and there's Ban

in livery waiting for them; he was ac-
| companied by superannuated pointer,
and by the redoubtable Bantam, a little
old rat of pony, with shaggy name
and long, rusty tail, who stood DOING
quietly by by the roadside, little dreaming
OF the bustling times that awaited him.
OFF they set at last. one on the pony, and
the others holding Johns hands, both
talking at once. We stopped few mo-
ments alterward to water the horses. and
on resuming our route a turn of the road
brought us in sight of neat country seat.

state organization, stmilar in plan and scope to
that OF the Massachusetts Staie Temperance ALI.

Tor upward of twenty five years and embraces in

and Church OF almost every demon nation ;receiv-
ing and disbursnF from fourteen to eighteen hous.
and dollars every year; antheutlcatng and send.
