The Borrowers Rebuke.

My friend Anderson told me that in his youth he received lesson, on the subject of borrowing, that was likely to last him for his lifetime. It was when he was teaching school in the village of N, away down East. On 8 certain occasion he very much desired to gain access to the tables of Bowditch's Nav igator, and learning that old Capt. York, retired shipmaster, then residing in the village, owned one, he went to bor- row it, remarking that he only wanted to consult it for few moments at home. He would return it within four-and- twenty hours. The captain was genial, kind-hearted old man but he was par ticular about his books. He had but a few of them, and he prized them, and liked to keep the run of them. But, if the young master would bring it back as he had promised, he might have it in welcome.
 It was the third day after that, that our teacher, in company with female friend, was passing the captains resi- dence, and the old man chanced to be leaning over his gate, pufing away at his pipe, at this time. Anderson remem- bered the book, and would have dodged out of sight had the movement been pos. sible; but he had advanced too far.
 "Ah! How d'e do, MT. Anderson :? Say, you keep school"
 By that time Anderson had stopped before the gate, and he bowed and an- swered in the affirmative.
 "And s'pose you know little some- thing about arithmetic Say, for in- stance how many hours make day j; and how much difference there is between the hours of one day and the stretch of three days. My young friend, I have known fine ship to be wrecked from being only few hours behind her true time! Such things are worth remem- bering. Good evening, sir trust you will have pleasant walk"
 And with that Captain York turned back towards his door, and the young schoolmaster kept on his way, to return the book within an hour, and to thank the old man for the lesson given. And he told to his fair companion the whole story. She is now his wife and has shared with him in the benefits derived from the old sea captain cutting rebuke.
