The NEW SCHOOL MASTER.
FFrom the Boston Courier.I

1t was a warm twilight In early Octo-
Der when the new schoolmaster arrived
at the Forks. He came on foot with his
travelling bag slung over his back by
means of cane, a sturdy young man
with red hair, shapely features and an
independent gait. He held his head as
if he were determined to thrust it through
every obstacle which came in his way,
and looked neither to the right nor to
the left, though a glance over his
shoulder would have revealed to him
through the fringes of the gigantic pine
trees, a sunset picture such as is seldom
seen III this cold New England region.
There was more than the usual number
of sitters In the store that night, drawn
thither by the fact that the new school
master was expected, and when that gen
tleman reached the dingy little building
they were all on the steps to greet him.
"New schoolmaster, l catilate; step n
be sosherable awhile, hey?" said the
storekeeper. who was also the school
agent and mill owner-the one great
man of the place.

The second house on the right was
cosy and inviting. 1T was implanted,
but the curtains at the windows were
daintily white and clean. Great trees
stood about and gave it pleasant; shell
tered look, though the leaves had nearly
all fallen. A row OF milk pans hanging
on the fence reflected the sunset clouds
in their glowing surfaces, and suggested
the perfection of household neatness.
A motley brood of fowls are eating their
