Mr.. Laurison with emphasis. 1.-The ne
groes all go off about this time OF the year
for berry picking, just when harvest is
coming on a. The corn needs wedding the
worst you ever saw. I've got two men l
can count on that stay with me the year
round, but | ought 10 have four on farm
of this size"
Here was Brydelps chance.
"Pm-Pm looking for work." he said
d iffi lently-
Farm work, / mean"
your shouted Mr.. Laurison. "Why,
YOU never did any work in your life.
Look at them hands!
"Prettv brown. ! think thew are" an
swered Brydell complacently, examining
his own hands.
YES" said Mr.. Laurison, shut they're
brown with the playin' OF tennis and foot
ball and such. Any fool can see by your
hands You amt done any work"
Butt want to do some work"
For what?"
"For money, for living"
"Ain't you got any friends or family?"
FL have father. He's In the navy and
way off in the Pacific. l haven't any friend
that can help me-"
"And has your father thrown you off ?'
"Oh. 70. But want to earn my living.
and it easier TO get work in the country
than in town. and. besides, know more
about the country"
| Mr.. Laurison'S manner underwent an
! instant change. He paused little while,
and then said:
II amt got any work for vou," and after
another pause, Il think it's ciearin' up"
/ Brydell rose at once. He felt that in a
moment the attitude of his host was one
Of suspicion. but Mrs. Laurison's kind
| gaZe never changed In the least, and little
Minna came closer to him and caught his
hand.
Are you going away ?" she asked.
81 must" said Brydell, gently, but feel
! ing as If he would choke. Mr. Laurison
got up very promptly.
"Pll show you a short cut to the m ain
road" he said.
The sun was now down, and the purple
twilight was upon them. The trees and
grass were wet and a faint gray haze rose
from the meadow at the back of the house.
1t had never dawned upon Brydrli that
he would be invited to take the road at
surh an hour, and he felt strange sinking
of the heart.
He thanked Mrs. Laurison for her kind
ness to him. She said no word to deiain
him. but Brydell felt she was sorry TO see
him 20. He then turned to shake hands
with little Minna. The child suddenly
tptoed and threw her arms around his
neck. saying:
Won't you come back Tomorrow"
'.Some day, perhaps" answered Bry-
dell hurriedly, and feeling sob rising in
his throat at the childish words. The
woman and the little girl had confidence
in him. He said good-by to them both.

with alders to the main road bali mile

CHAPTER VI.

Next morning by sunrise Brydell was up
ana undresseG and outdoors. The two
negro men on the place were feeding the
stock under Mr.. Laurison's directions.
while negro woman MIXED the cows
Brydell looked about and saw that the
vegetable garden was we'll weeded, but
there was long straight walk down the
garden, with fOwer-beds on each side of il
that were full of weeds. There were
cumps of lilac, both white and purple.
great masses of The syringa, making the
morning air heavy with its sweet per-
tune. and SNOWFALL bushes blooming pro-
fusely. Some early roses were out and a
few gaudy peonies sill fingered Both bed
and walk we're choked with grass and all
manner of sagrant growth.
IF / had garden hoe and rake | copld
weed those fower-beds." said Brydell 10
Mr.. Laurison as they met in the back
yard.
II wish to goodness you would" an
swered Mr.. Laurison. "My wife has nearly
broken her heart over those f1ower-beds
I've had to keep the hands at work so
steady that l actually haven't had a chauc
TO get at the fi0wers-and she amt strong
enough to do Il herself-and it's lust been
trial to her"
Brydeli had been taught to weed flowers
under that stern martinez, Aunt Emiline
and when an hour afterward Mrs. Laurison
and Minna appeared, one whole square
was as neatly weeded as possible. the
refuse piled up In a wheelbarrow, and the
garden looked like different place.
Mrs. Laurison was delighted.

only bad he worked hard, but, forced to
depend upon himself and to solve his own
difficulties, he felt that he stood better
chance of making the four years course
than II he had been crammed by tutor to
get through his examinations and then
make fiat failure afterward.
Ii was hard on him TO say go0d-by to
the LaurlSons, and Minna was so dis
treSSed at the idea of parting from him
that Mrs. Laurson and he agreed that 1t
would be better for him to slip off early In
the morning, before sunrise, so that the
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Laurison were up to
give him his breakfast and see him or
Mrs. Laurson said to HIM:
eff ever your Aunt Emiline said you
were disagreeable boy, / think she must
have been very disagreeable woman. for
IN the year you have lived with us don't
think | could have found fault with you If
| had tried"
Dear Mrs. Laurison. it was because
you were all SO good to me-" answered
Brydel, with tears in his eyes.
The farewells were said, and Brydell
struck off in the path that led through the
field TO the little roadside station. just as
he shut the gate that LED from the path to
the farm enclosures. childish figure.

from beside the gate.

knew you were going to-day. so | slipped
out of bed and dressed myself. for l heard
mamma say something to you about not
telling me gOod-by because l would cry
so. and I'm not cry-baby, and want to
say goOd-by. too"
Brydell kissed her and promised to write
to her, and although she evidently wanted
to cry she did not shed a tear. b ydell
started her back TO the house and Minna
trotted off obediently. but he saw her stop
once or twice and put her apron to her
eyes. In few hours he was at Annapolis
and In few days he had passed a splendid
examination and was formally notified that
he was naval cadet AT last.

The Opening of Our schools.

Our public schools will open Monday,
September 3rd, for a term of seven months
During last term there We're 269 pupils
enrolled. 90 of whom attended every day,
this being - more than were perfect dur
ing the term of 1873. Ont of a term of 100
days 24 pupils attended over 100 days.
BY these figures We see that 10 pupils
nearly one fourth of the entire school
were absent over One-SiNJh of the term.
In looking over the record of examinations
for promotions | find that 6S pupils have
failed To be promoted. either on account of
not being present or failing To pass salts
factory examination, and that ~ of these
have been absent over one-SiXth of the
term. Making due allowance for absence
on account of sickness, it appears that
a large per cent. of our pupils have alb
sented themselves from school without any
reasonable excuse, and that nearly all
failures in examinations were due To ire
gular attendance,
There seems to be little excuse for ire
gular attendance in a town containing no
public works 10 keep pupils out of Schooi.
Teachers cannot do efficient work unless
they have regnlar attendance. If a pupil
is absent from school one month out of six,
il does not mean that he has received five
siXJhs of the benefits of that term. 1t
means that he has IabOred under diSad
Vantages during the entire term, that he
has retarded the advancement of other
pupils. or that he himself has learned little
or nothing, and that finally he becomes so
much discouraged that he drops out of
school entirely.
Should not parents ZealOusly strive TO
have their children in school every day of
the term, that one of the difficulties to
successful work may be overcome?
The daily report cards will be sent heme
with pupils every Monday for the inspec
tiDn and signature of parents.
Pupils will not be admitted to the
ground nor building until SID in the morn
ing and 10 in the afternoon.
following regulation To which teachers
must necessarily strictly adhere: Pupils
shall be regular and punctual iu attend
auce, and in case of absence or tardness,
they shall bring a written excuse from
their parents or guardian. unless such has
been given orally, and no pupil will be eX
cuSed from school before the hour of dis
miSSaI without a written request.
Parents are requested to speak tn teach
erS about the interests of their children, TO
aid the teachers in carrying out the regu-
latunS, and To- encourage their children to
do faithful work. L. l.. GIBSON,

Suicide Of gufre Bland

w C. Bland. ESQ, well-knOwn resi-

taking dose of poison at an early hour
this tThurSdaYB morning. Squire Bland
had been alderman of the Thirteenth ward
of that city, but at the spring election
failed To be renominated. That coupled
with financial difficulties that had been
accumulating lately. is probably the cause
of his committing the rash act.
Within the past week or two several in
formations had been made against him for
embezZlcment and on these charges he had
