He thrust the frightened mother back.
The boy fell on his knees but could not
speak 5iie word, SO large the knot that
gathered In his little throat, SO resoluto
the startled, fawn,like eyes, as if agony
and perVersity worked together TO make
him obdurate. Down the stairs and into
the orchard, away from sight, the fathe.
bore his child, and making him kneel
upon the grass, struck hard and slow
with the switch of the apple tree, tellins
his boy to confess; yet dumb as Isaac
upon the altar beneath his fathers knife
shrinking childhood of the boy received
his hard chastisement. Carried back,
oil trembling as with chill of death, to
the house of mourning, the little boy
was laid in his bed, still frozen tight Of
speech and only the ointment of a
emother's tears fell upon, his tortured
back and famine narrowed shoulders.
but bis large eyes turned to o little box
that he kept his treasures in, and they
placed it in his bed where he lay all day
sighing from his inarticulate soul.
The fathers heart was wrenched to
think Of such frail, dear son persisting
in his ,wickedness, and turning from re-
pentance.
He sat by his side all that afternoon
demanding his boy to confess and save
them both the pain of another chastise-
ment. The boy trembled, but did not
speak, and put his arms around his little
box as If it was his brother. .
a .
The long night through q sigh went
through the chamber ever and anon
from those suffering lips. Neither man
nor woman slept. At early day the
anguished father felt that the stern pun
tshment must be meted out again unless
his boy spoke and repented. He rose
and passed into the chamber where the
son lay IN his lowly bed, all strewn with
his little drawings, and his arms around
his box. He sighed no more, but
seemed asleep. Upon his face O color
paler than the snowy sheets extended.
Another guest was in the bed the guest
that cometh like O real thief in the
night

The mother came on feet of doves
wings. She raised her son upon her
breast. The little lips unclosed and
spoke the last forever to this world:
love my papa. Mamma, I only
wanted his pencil, not his money. Deaf
God, let pnpa love me-"
Andso, among the little drawings he
had been working at every dawn. till
his pencils were worn to the wood and
he would have borrowed his papa's
noiselessl ly, whose sharpened pencil was
in his waistcoat pocket, the little artist
yielded up his broken heart. Only the
