In Bridgeville Adcademy there were a few selfish, unprincipled girls, and the, eth ers joined them in teasing the, little ‘Cali co Cloak,’ asthey called her, from thought-' lessness, and from a lore of sport. Bat they knew not how deeply each sportive word pierced ithe heart of that little etrou ger, and how] I many bitter tears she shed in Secret overi their unkitidness. Mrs. Lee, learning that the scholarsstill continued their unjust .treatment toward her child, resolved to accept her brother's invitation, although he was a poor man, and become a member of the family,' ho ping that, while there, her child could con tinue her studies, and perhaps through his influence lead a happier life among her .schoolmates. | Accordingly at the end of -the teem she jlett the school, yet .she gain ed-the. medal,- and it was worn from the Academy beneath the despised garment. '•'Wceks, months, and years glided away to the students of the Bridgeville Acade my, and tho fittle ‘.Calico Cloak’ was for gotten.

The old lady was right. The story went from one to another until it found its way into the old academy. At that .very time a little boy __ was attending school there, whose mother was struggling with her needle to give him au education. The boys often made* sport of his patched knees and elbows, and he would run sobbing home to his mother. , But when the ‘ Calico Cloak** reached the scholars, the little boy (for he was naturally a noble hearted child) became very popuiar iu school; and the children, from that time, were very kind 10 ‘Joittle Patchy, ’ as he had always been called.

The Art of Not QcAßaKUNO.—Sen sible Husband—* 11 How is it we t ever quarrel, Mrs. Xantippo i ! Well, I will veil yju. lor a quarrel, and espe cially a good quarrel, it is necessary to have two parties. One person can't make a quarrel. Now, If I am-in a quanelsome humor, and break out, my wile remains cool and collected,; and dosu't say a word. If mywifo isppeviah, and displays more temper tban is becjoming to pneof her sex, I, her bus ban d, remain as unmoved as the Monument or’else' cheat myself into the belief that ijun listening for the moment to one of Grisi’s heavenly songs. Thus:, while qnp party is volcanically funtiug. the other is as calm as a cojd potato. In all our quarrels, there is in this way al ways a controlling} power. Seriously, we never quarrel, because there is a philoso phic compact between us never to quarrel together. VVe only quarrel one at a time; and it is astonishing, if you leave a quar rel alone, how very soon it dies out ! That r s our secret, ‘ madam, and I should advise you, and all Xantippes, to follow it. — Fund*.

It was a jack knife.— Thejn I would not be obliged! to borrow father’s .every time 1 wished to efft a string or a stick, but could whittle Whenever I chose, and whenever I pleased.: Dreams of kites, bciws, and arrows, boats, die., all manufactured with (he aid *of that shi ning blade, haunted me by day and night. It was a beautiful morning iff June, that my father called me and gave me leave, if I wished to go with him to theatdre. 1 was delighted, and taking his hand, ire started. The birds sang sweetly on every bush, and everything looked ,jso gay and* beautiful, that my heart fairly leaped for joy. After our arrival at the village, and while my father occupied in purchasing some articles in a remote part Of the store, my attention was drawn te aman who was asking the price of various which lay out he counter. As'this was au interesting subject to me, I approached, intending only to look at them. I picked one up, opened it, examined it, tried the springs, felt the edge of the,blade with my thumb, and thought I could never cease admiring their polished surface.— Oh ! if it were only mine, thought I, how happy I should be! Just at-this moment happening-do look up, I saw the merchant had gone to change adaill for his customer, and no. one was observing me. For tear that I might be tempted to do wrong, I started to replace the knife on the counter, but an evil spirit whispered, ‘‘ Put it in your pocket; quick 1” Without stopping to think of the crime or its .consequence, I hurriedly slipped it into my- pocket r aud as 1 did so, felt a blush of shame burning on my cheek; but the store was rather dark, and no one noticed it, nor did the merchant miss the knife. Wo soon started for home, my father giv ing me a parcel to ; carry 4 . An we walked along, my thoughts continually rested oh the knife, and 1 kept my handlu my pocket all the time from a sortofguilty foatthat it would, ho seep. This together with, carrying the bundle in piy Mother hand, made it difficult for me to keCp pace with iny father, He noticed it, and gave me a lecture about walking with my bands in my pocket. • A hi how different were my thoughts then, from what they were when passing, the same semes a lew hours before!. Tne song of the - birds seemed joyous nd longer, but sad and sorrowful, as if chiding me for my wicked act. 1 could not look my father in the face, for I had been heedless of his precepts, broken one of God's command ments, and became a thief. As these thoughts passed through my Mind, I could hardly help crying, but concealed my feel ings, and tried to think of thp good times I would have with my knife. I could hardly say anything on my way home, and my father thinking I was either tired or sick, kindly took my burden, and spoke soothingly to me, his guilty san. No soon er did we reach home, than I retreated to a safe place, the house, to try. the stolen knife. I hqd pick edupa stick, and was whittling it, perfectly delighted with the sharp blade, which gilded through the wood almost of itself when 1 heard the deep, subdued-voice of my father, cubing me by name, and on looking, up, saw him at the window directly over my bead, ga zing down very sorrowfully at me. The stick dropped from my hand, and with the knife clasped in the other, I proceeded in the house. I saw by his Iqpks that my father bad divined pH. I found him Bit ting in hia arm chair, looking very pale. £ walked directly to his side, end in a low, calm voice, he asked me whore I got the knife. His gentle manner and kind tone wept to my heart, and I burnt into tears. As soon as piy vpice would allow me I made a full confession. He ’ did Ppf flog me, as some father’s would have done, but reprimanded me in snch a manner, that, while I felt truly penitent for the deed j loved him more than ever, apd promised never, never to do the like aghin. Xh my father’s company, I then returned to the store, and on my knees mer chant’s pardon, ;apd promised: never again to take what was not my own*. ■. . J|y father is long since dew } and never do I think of my first theft, yfithout bles sing the memory ot him whose kind teach •> ing and gentle corrections hive made it, thus far io roy -iifih and foreper, my last.
