He was in the midst:of a piece of interesting news, when a lad came to the door and said —“Do you want a boy, .sir?’'':' Without lifting his eyes from the paper, Mr. Frazier answered “ No,” to the appli cant, and in a rather rough way. Before the lad reached the street, conscience had compelled tjic merchant to listen to a re buking Sentence. “ You might have spoken kindly to the poor boy, at least,” said conscience; “this is an opportunity.” . . ; Mr. Frazier let the paper fall from be fore his eyes, and turned to look at the lad. He was small —not twelve years old,, to appearance—poorly attired but clean. The merchant tapped agfiinst one of the windows in the counting-room, and the boy glanced book over his shoulder. A sign from the merchant caused him to return/ “Do you want a boy, sir?” The lad repeated tho words he had spoken a few moments before. Mr. Frazier looked at him with a sud denly-awaked interest. He had a fair, girlish face, and, though slender and deli cate in appearance, stood erect, and with ta manliness of aspect that showed him to be already conscious of, duty in the world. But there did not seem to be much of that stuff in him which is needed for the battle of life. “ Take a chair,” said Mr. Frazier, in voluntary respect for the lad getting pos session of his mind. The boy sat down, with his large clear eyes fixed on the mer chant's face. “ How old are you ?” “ I was twelve, sir, last month,” replied the boy. “ W hat splendid eyes !” said the mer-, chant to himself. “And 1 have seen them before. Soft, dark, and Insurious as a wo man’s. 6 00 10 Q 0 U 00 Away back in the past went the thoughts of Mr. Frazier, borne on the light of those beautiful eyes; and for some moments he forgot the present in the past. But when he came back into the present again, he had a softened heart towards the strange lad. ALTOONA, PX., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1861 “ Yop should go to school a year or two longer,” he said. “ I must help my mother” replied the boy. “ Is your mother very poor?” “Yes, sir; and she is sick.” The lad’s voice shook a little, and his soft, womanly eyes grew brighter in the tears that filled them. Mr. Frazier had already forgotten the point of interest in the news after which his mind was search ing when the boy interrupted him. “ I don’t want a lad myself,” said Mr. Frazier, “ but it may be that I could speak a good word for you, you know. I thiuk you would make an honest, useful but you are not strong.” %“Oh, yes, sir, I am strong!” replied the boy, as he stood up in a brave and manly spirit. The merchant looked at him with a steadily increasing interest. •* What is your name ?” be asked. “Charles Leonard, sir.” There was an instant change in the mer chant’s manner, and he turned his face so far away that the boys eyes could not see the expression. For a long time he sat still and silent—so long that the boy won dered. “Is your father living?” Mr. Frazier did not look at the boy, but still kept his face away. His voice was low and not very even. “No, sir; lie died lour years ago” the lad replied. “ Where ?” The voice was quicker and firmer.' “ In London, sir.” “ How long is it since you came to America ?” “ Two years.” “And have you been in. this city ever since ?” “No, sir; we came here with my uncle a year ago; but he died in a month after wards.” “ What was your uncle’s name?” “ Mr. Hoyle,.sir.” Then came another long silence, in which the lad was not able to see the merchant’s countenance. Hut when he did look at him again, there was such a new and kind expression to the eyes which seemed almost to devour his face, that he felt an assurance in his heart that Mr. Frazier was a good man, and would be a friend to his mother. “Sit there for a little while,” said Mr. Frazier, and turning to his desk he wrote a note, in which, without permitting the lad to see what he was doing, he enclosed two or three bank bills. “ Take this to your mother,” he said, handing the note to the lad. “ You’ll try and get hie a place, sir, won’t you?” The boy lifted to him an appealing look. “Oh yes; you shall, have a good place. But stay; you have not told me where you live.” “At Number , Melon street.” “ Very well.” Mr. Frazier noted down the street and number. “And now take that note to your mother.” The merchant did not resume his news paper after the lad departed. He had lost all interest in its contents. For a long time ho sat with his hand shading his face, so that no one saw its expression. If spo ken to on any matter, he answered briefly, and with none of his usual interest in bu siness. The change in him was so marked that one of his partners asked him if he was not unwell. “I feel a little dull,” was his evasive reply. Before his usual time Mr. Frazier left the stb£e and went home- As he opened 1 the door of his dwelling, the distressed ; cries and sobbings of. a child came with |an unpleasant shook upon his ears. He i went up stairs with two or three long strides, and entered the nursery, whence the cries came. j “ What’s the matter darling ?” he said, : as he caught the weeper in his arms — | “ What ails my little M a ggie ?” 1 “Oh! papa, papa!” sobbed the child, i clinging to his heck, and laying her wet cheek close to his. IN EVERYTHING.] “Jane,” said Mr. Frazier, looking at the nurse, and speaking with some stern ness of manner, “ Why is Maggie crying so?” The girl looked excited and pale. “She’s been naughty,” was her answer. “ No, papa, I haven’t been naughty,” said the child indignantly. “I; didnt want to stay here all alone, and then she pinched and slapped me so hard !■ Gh! papa!” and the child’s wail rung out again as she clung to his neck sobbing.’ “ Has she ever pinched and slapped you before ?” asked the father. “ She has, almost every day,” answered the little girl. “ Why haven't you told me of this be fore?” “ She said she’d throw me out of the window if I told!- Oh, dear! don’t let her do it, papa!” “ It’s a lie,” exclaimed the nurse, pas sionately. “Just look at my poor leg, papa.”— The child said this in a choking, sup pressed whisper, with her lips close to;ber father’s ear. Mr. Frazier sat down, and baring the child’s hip, saw that it was covered with blue and greenish spots, all above the knee ; there were not less than a dozen of these disfiguring marks. He examined the other leg, and found it in the same condition. Mr. Frazier loved that child with deep tenderness. She was his all to love. Her mother, between whom and himself there never had been any sympa thy, died about two years before; and since that time his precious darling—the apple of his eye —had been left to the tender mercies of hired nurses, over whose conduct it was impossible for him to have any right observation. He had often feared that Maggie was neglected—often troubled himself on her account—but a suspicion of cruelty like this had never entered his imagination as possible. Mr. Frazier was profoundly disturbed, but even in his pas sion he was very calm. “Jane,” said he, sternly, “I wish you to leave the house immediately.” “Mr. Frazier—” “Silence!” He showed himself Postern and angry, even in Ins suppressed titter auce of the word, that Jane and left the room immediately. Mr. Frazier rung the bell, and to the waiter who answered it he said —See that Jane leaves the house, at once. I have discharged her. Here is the money that is due to her. I must not see her again.” , As the waiter left the room Mr. Frazier hugged the child to his heart again,and kissed her with an eagerness of manner that was unusual with him. He was fond but quiet in his caresses. Now the sleep ing impulses of a strong heart were all awake and active. In a small back chamber sat a pale, sweet faced, patient-looking woman, read ing a letter which had just been left by the postman. ' “ Thank' God !” said she, as she finished reading it, and her soft brown eyes were lifted upward. "It looked very dark,” she murmured, “ but the morning ha? bro ken again.” . At length a quick step was heard on the stairs, and the door was hastily pushed open. ; “ Charles, dear I” The boy entered with an excited coun tenance. “ I’m going to have a place, mother,” he cried to her, the moment his feet were inside of the door. The pale woman smiled and held out her hand .to her boy. He came quickly, to her side. “ There is no necessity for your getting a place now, Charles. We shall gq back to England,” : “ Oh, mother!’’ The boy’s face was all aglqw with sunbeams. " Here’s a letter from a gentleman in New York, who says he is directed to pay our passage to England, if we return. — God is good, my son. Let us be thank ful.” . Charles now drew from his pocket the note which Mr. Frazier had given him, and handed it to his mother. “ What is this ?” she asked. “The gentjeman who promised to get me a pjace told ipe to give it to you,” he replied. .The woman broke the seal. There were three bank-bills, of top dollars each en closed, and this brief sentence written on the sheet of paper: “ God sent yonr son to a true friend. Let him borne again, to morrow.” ... f Who gave you this ?” she asked, her face becoming flushed with sudden excite ment. ! “A gentleman. But I don’t know who he was. I went into a great many stores to ask if they didn’t want a boy, and at last t came to the one where the'gentle man was who sent you this letter. He spoke roughly at first ; and thcii called me back and asked mo who I was, and about my mother. r I told him yonr name, j and how father died, and thatr you were sick: Then he sat a good while, and said nothing; and then wrote the note, and told.me he would get me a plaice. He, was a kind-looking man, if he did speak roughly at first. | “ Did you sec what name waa upon the sign ■?” “I never thought to look,” replied the boy. “ I was So glad •wheft; I came away. But I am very sure I can go straight to the place.” . “ I will write the gentleman a note, thanking him for his kindness, and you must take it- to him in the morning.— How light it makes my heart feel .to know that wo are going back to England! - God is good to us,. my son, and wo must be obedient and thankful. Just a little before the evening twilight fell, word came up to the woman that a gentleman, had called and wished to see her. ' ■; - ■ ’ “Go and; sec who it is, Charles,” said, she to her son, “ Oh, mother! It’s the gentleman who sent you the note,” exclaimed he, in an under tone,’coming back quietly; and he wants you, : Can he come up ?” There was a hasty glance of the woman’s eyes around the room to see if everything was in good order, then a few changes in attire. “Ask liim to come-up, my son,” she said, and Charles went down stairs again; A man’s firm tread approached the door. It was opened, and the boy’s mother and the boy’s new-found friend looked into each other’s faces: “ Oh, Edward I” fell from her lips in a quick,.,surprised voice; and she started from her chair and stood strongly agitated before him: He advanced, not speaking until he had taken her hand. “ Florence ! I never thought .to see you thus.’' He said it ip a kind, calm, evenly-modulated voice; but her ears were finely enough chorded to perceive the deep emotion that lay beneath. He said it, looking down into the dark, soft, ten der, brown eyes. “But I.think there is a Providence in our meeting,” ho added, solemnly. ; They sat down and talked long together j they talked of the times gone by, and of the causes that had separated them, while their hearts beat only for each other —of the weary years that bad passed for both of them since then—of the actual present of their lives. “ I have a motherless child,” he said at last, “ a tender little thing that I love, and to-day I find her body purple with bruises from the hands of a cruel servant! Flor ence, will you be a mother to that child ? You have a noble boy that is fatherless; let me be to him as a father! Oh, Flor ence, there has been a great void in our lives. A dark and impassable river has flowed between us for years. But we stand at last together; and if the old love fills your heart-as it does mine, there arc golden days for us in the future.” And so it proved. The lady and her son did not go back to England, but passed to the merchant’s stately residence —she becoming : its mistress, and he finding a home andi a truer father than the one he had in former years called by that name. The Mah Who Knows Everything. A mighty knowing man was Caleb Page, whokept the grocery at the fork of the road,'Woodchuck creek, Sprang Hol low, in the village of HornviUc. No oc currence had taken place, of all the partic ulars of which Caleb did not possess a thorough knowledge in the minutest detail. Al| matters in the prospective were anti cipated, discussed, arranged, and satisfac torily, disposed of by Caleb, long before they took place. If a neighbor rushed in to the store tb communicate what he be lieved to be a very recent piece of news, he would have the conceit taken out of him by being told by Caleb that he. “ had heard it a week ago.” Events of the past, present, and future were all the same to him ; his übiquitious knowledge grasped and covered them all—to him they were all “ stale: hews.” A small bet was made one evening be tween Si Stevens and Joc'Stubbins. Si bet Joe couldn’t nonplus Caleb with any piece of intelligence—real or imaginary. Joe took ull such bets as that. ■ The following evening Si and Joe, ac companied by two or three more of the “ hoys” df the village, who were to help the thing along, and “fill in” proceeded to Caleb’s store. After being comforta bly seated hero and there, on barrels, box es, ect, iSi opened tbe evening’s amuse ment by; asking, in a manner that indica ted he was continuing a conversation com menced before they had entered the store: “ So you say, Joe, that they caught him at last?” “ Yea, sir, about seventeen minutes past eight.” • r , “Wefl, Joe, how far np the creek was ar ■ ; ‘ v " " 'l.' : '' ;, " i . “ Qu a careful consideration, I should say it was about three iniles, or throe miles and a quarter, or perhaps si ball up the creek.” Caleb who had not lost a word of the conversation dropped his'sugar scoop with | astonishment, andopenedhis cars, fbr the boys wore talking about' amatterin which he was; not “ posted.” P»e conversation continued: “Well!” says Si, “ that couldn’t” a been far front beacon Hunt’s V* ' ‘ : s “ Jest so,” answered Joe, it was about eight rods from the Deacon’s hog-pen,in a slandh-wiee direction.” EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. “DM yon hear, Joe,” with a fie# art id as a gravestone, “ how much % Aey got?” “ Yes I did,” replied Joe, with another face as solemn as two gravestones; I beam that they got nearly sixty barrels of it.” “The wags observed that Caleb was getting exceedingly uneasy, and “ piled it on.” Well, Joseph, how long was the rep- tile ?” “ Well, Silas, the insect was about cighty-two feet long, and twenty-eight feet odd inches broad—thick in proportion,” “ I thought, Joe, that there was two on ’em.” “ That’s a fact; there wja a pair on ’’em but they only caught thebe one.” Af this point of the dialogue Caleb be came so desperately excited tbit he could contain himself no longer, and snappishly demanded to know “what's thunder they were talking about ?” “ Why,” said Joe, with well feigned as tonishment, “ don’t you know about their catching that are— —” “That are what ?” peevishly snarled Ca leb. “ That are whale I” seriously answered Joe. v : “ A whale 1” exclaimed the bewildered Caleb, have they caught a whale up the creek ?" , “ They haven’t caught anything else,” said the imperturaHe Joe. i ■ _ “ And how much ile did thc£ get ? in quired Caleb as he recovered nis wits. “Ninety-two bar’b replied Joe forget ting the amount he had previously anw tioued. “ Well,” said Caleb, with slow delibera tion, and a satisfied look, “I’m glad they caught that,, whale, I heard they Were ut ter him." MALICE OUTWITTBIL The owner of a saw-mill in the country , having a bitter enmity against a weigh' \ boring farmer, laid noi less a plan of re venge than to get him arrainged asa thief convicted and sent to the p^iitenfiary.—r But as the honesty of his neighbors affor ded him no fair grounds of accusation, he resorted to the foul expedient of secretly conveying some of his own property upon the others premises; so that, it being found there, it might be proof of hia guilt. For this purpose he took a thousand of boards, having his own mark on, and at dead of night dumped them into the field near his neighbor’s house. But the far mer did not happen to be as fast asleep as his enemy supposed. He heard a noise, or thought he heard one; and getting up pretty soon after, to satisfy himself on the , subject, by the help of a lantern he found, a load of boards with his neighbors mark thereon. How they came there, and Why thcy camc there, flashed upon him at once. His coarse was promptly taken. Allow ing his enemy just time to get fairly home and into bed, so that the light of the horning pile might not he detected, he set fire to tho boards, which being well mas oned, were in a few minutes entirely con sumed. Early in the. morning, as the farmer bad anticipated, the sawyer came with a constable and search-warrant to look, for his property. “You are suspected,” said the oftocr; “of having taken a thousand of hairdo from this man, and by virino of this war rant, I bold in my hand, 1 most search ■your premises.^’ “Very well,” said the fanner, “you are at liberty to search as mvkch as yon please. But if yon find the boards, I’ll engage to eat them for my breakfast.” “ You’ll have something harder to di gest than that, I fancy,” said the sawyer with a sneer. He then triumphantly led the way to where he had dumped the boards, and where he confidently expected to find’them, and Ip I there Was nothing but a heap of ashes ! His disappointment chagrin and mortification may be judged of. He sneaked away home; and the se cret of his foul plot getting wind in the neighbSrhobd, the ghost from the ashes of the load of boards never ceased to aniioy him, until taking the advantage of anoth er night,-,he packed up his all and left the country. )&.
