A Stranger in the School.

A large school of boys and girls were
coming over their lessons. The teacher
tried hard to keep order, to make all
take to their studies, to help those who
needed aid, and 10 make all happy
He opened the doors and windows to
give them fresh air; but all would not
do. Some felt discouraged with their
lessons, some felt sleepy, some felt cross,
and everything seemed to drag and lin
ger. By and by the heavy tread of a
foot on the doorstep was heard, and,
without knocking, in walked hard faced
man, somewhat old in years, but with
firm step. The children at first felt
afraid Of him, but they soon found that
beneath his hard looks there was
bright eye, a pleasant smile, and kind
heart. But, instead of sitting down and
staring at the school, he sat down by the
side OF one Of the little girls who vas
trying to get her spelling lesson.
There were tears of disbursement In
her eyes.
Well, what is the matter with our
little one ?"
90, sir, 1 can't get my lessons. It's so
long, and the words are so hard. | can
never learn them
e" Let us see, How many words are
there in one column
Fifteen, sir"
And how many columns in your les
son p
Three, sill"
every well. That makes forty-fve
words to be learned. How many of these
are easy so that you can spell them at
one? Count them.
Twenty sir"
"Then you have twenty which you
call hard. Now, take the first one, look
at it sharp, see every letter in it, count
the letters, see just how the word looks
Now shut your eyes; and see if you can
still see how the word looks Spell it
over softly to yours If There, now, you
spelled it right. Now do so with the
next word, and the next, till you have
them all"
80, sir, that is very easy. I can get
my lesson now.
Thus he went from seat to seat, and
helped all. The scholars forgot the heat
They all had their lessons: the teacher
smiled and praised them, and all were
happy just as he was leaving, the
teacher thanked the stranger, and hoped
he would soon call again.
ooh" said he, lust send for me at
any time, and [ will come and give any
one a.lift."

what he delighted in speaking of. The
love of God in Jesus was his theme.
When life was drawing to close he
spoke of mercy and of grace of faith in
God as his only foundation for the hope
Of going, when he died, to be with Jesus
who died for him. Being visited day
or two before he died by an unconverted
relative Of mature years, the relative
asked him how he was. When he an
swered that he was very happy, though
sick in body, that his faith kept him SO,

Paid in Ones Own Coin.

Peters mother died After that he
was sent to his grandmother for he
had aquarrelsome, tretful temper, and his
aunt could not manage him wi h the
other children. His grandmother dealt
kindly and patiently with him, and
helped him to improve.
Peter now had new mother, and his
father had sent for him to come home.
But he did not want to go. He felt sure
he should not like his new mother, and
that she would not like him.
THAT depends upon yourself, Peter, 4"
said grandmother. Garry love and
kindness in your pocket and you'll find
no difficulty
The idea struck the boy favorably.
He wished he could, he said.
"And the best of it is said grand
mother, "if you once begin paying it out,
your pockets will never be empty, for
you'll be paid in your own coin Be
kind, and you will be treated kindly :;
love, and you'll be loved"
Il wish | could" said Peter.
All the way home he more or less
thought of it. | do not know about his
welcome home, or what his father or new
mother said to him. The next morning
he rose early, as he was used at grand
mothers, and came down stairs, where
every thing being new, he felt very
strange and lonely.
81 know | shant be contented here, -
he said to himself; Il know 1 shan't
I'm afraid there's not bit OF love in my
pocket.
However, in little while his new
mother came down, when Peter went up
to her and said:
Mother, what can do to help your
my dear boy, said she, kissing him
on the forehead "how thoughtful you
are. | thank you for your kind offer
and what can l do to help you, for | m
afraid you will be lonely here at first,
coming from your dear, good grand
mother
What kiss was that 1t made him
so happy.
That's paying me in more than my
own coin, thought Peter.
Then he knew he should love his new
mother; and from that good hour Peter s
pockets began to fill with the beautiful
bright coin of kindness, which is the best
small change in the world. Keep
your pockets full of it, and you will
never be in want

A Night in the Police Station

A FACT.
1t was forlorn sight.
A drunken father, blear-eyed and
bloated, to whose hand child of five
years old chung with a tenacious grasp
What's this man brought In for?"
asked the police sergeant.
Disorderly conduct, throwing stones
at people, cursing and swearing" was
the reply.
Very well, put him into the cell
But stop; there's the child -
The little fellow was an exceptionally
beautiful boy. He had grave blue eyes
so large and so pitiful that their glance
appealed to the sergeant's stout heart
His complexion, where it was not discol-
ored by dirt and tears, was the finest
and fairest. His lips were like cherries.
His yellow hair curled thickly over q
noble-shaped forehead.
" That man has seen better days." says
the sergeant to himself. Come, my
boy, your father must 90 in the cell.
Well find place for you, somewhere"
No, no, sir oh, no T. cried the boy
in a terrified voice. 81 90 with father.
Oh please don't take me from my
father
But, child, you must. See here,
Colbert, you must take the child away. :"
Easier said than done. The little
fellow caught his fathers hands, chung
to his body, which staggered at his
touch, all the time screaming in heart
broken tones that he must, he would, 80
with his father
LIN m lone, said the man, SEEM
ing to come out of his stupor for mo-
ment. Don't we see, he's got nobody
but me? l. n alone
" | cant allow the child to 90 into
the cell, " said the sergeant, but can t
bear to hear his cries. suppose there
is nothing else to do. He must go.
Put them in together, Colbert"
So they were put in together in the
dark, sitting den, and the door was
shut. The little fellow cuddled him
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1881-03-30

self against the halt-insensible form, and
laid his head upon his fathers bosom.
So they slept together.
The faint light looked in through the
grimy bars, when On the following
morning the father awoke and bestirred
himself. OF course, as Is usually the
case, he wondered where he was and
how he came there. The last thing
he remembered, he had gone into a pub
lie house alone and drank few glasses,
and then recollection ceased Where
was his hat Where was his coat? And
looking around, he cried out In agony:
ooh, God, forgive mel There's little
Bennyl"
Yes; there was little Benny, the pure,
fair child, the idol of broken hearted
mother. There was little Benny, and he
had spent the night in this hole
The man beat his breast as he looked
down on the bright, curly head.
Husband and child both" he NUT
tered bitterly. TOO bad, too bad ;
At that moment the blue ewes of the
boy opened. He raised himself in won
der. but he met his fathers gaze, and he
smiled like an angel.
"The bad man put you in here, father
but | wouldn't let him take me. You
didn't know anything, father, when 1
found you in the street. You lost your
hat-I suppose the wind took it-and
the boys were all laughing You was
sick. wasn't you, father? And when
the bad man took you off l came too.
Now let's 90 home and tell mother all
about it. Let's tell her we was stoled !"
and the dear, unconscious little fellow
laughed merrily over the brilliant idea.
But that father His heart was
touched as it never had been before
He could not speak-could scarcely
think. What was the mother suffering
that moment And this awful sin that
had led him into its toils-it never had
looked as it looked to him now, within
the unsightly cell, the faint light lying on
the curls of his innocent boy.
And when they went out, there stood
the mother who, half distracted, had
been wandering and searching all night.
OH what sight for her gentle, loving
evesl With wild cry she fell upon
the neck of the child, and drawing him
away sank to the floor with him, sobbing
as if her heart would break.
Such are the sad scenes that God sees,
and which policemen see from day to
day. Poor maniacs! poor wives poor
children who shall protect you from
this deadly curse? Who shall deliver
you from this dark and terrible thrall?
Censor.
