THE IDIOT BOY.
"See, se(sister,,here is William Jones,"
said a little girl of ten years, with sparkling
black.eyes that. were contintuilly laughing„
and a face as round and blooming as a peach,
and dimples roguishly peeping out: fancying
they were hid, like their peerless little mis
tress herself, when playing 'hide and go seek,'
looking front the' parlor window.
A sumptuous room h
. was this parlor; ric
its furniture, gorgeous its carpet and hang
ings, and superb the gems of art adorning its
polished, walls; and its little occupants, ac-
cuStomed as they Were to the splendor of this
beautiful home scarcely dreamed that others
there were, less favored than themselves, or
wi thin and without, homesless cheerful than
their own.
Clara was two years older than her sister
Susan,: and possessed her vivacity wholly .
without her boisterousness. Her' blue eye
was 'ever radiant, her pretty mouth wreathed
in smiles, and her quiet laugh quite as joy-'
cuts and happy. It might be difficult to say
which enjoys the sunshine triOstiN s t leaping
cascade or the quiet stream.
"Does'nt he look stupid?" said the Young-
est of the! sisters. 1. "1 Should like to give him
a real pitich, should'nt you, just to hear him
•cry out?"(
. ,
"Old Specie is saving you the trouble," re-,
,
turned Clara.
Old Specie was Doodler than. madam goose
itWttlA.‘l7-nicnratir ottu-'utest ieututtieu times
without number, that she bad no sort of claim
to the short grass growing on the green, nev
ertheless, she cropped it every chance she
could get; and persisted in treating all who
puesed that way as trespassers, hence now
t • -
the attack little upon the boy, and the t girls'
merriment who witnessed it from thewindow.
Susan's loud laugh must have readied the
unfortunate object of their, nnthinling re
'marks, for he quickly looked up to were they
stood. his eyesinstantly fell to the ground
agaim the blood r.4slled deep into liisale face
and hle hurried ollas fast as his fet could
carry him, and was soon lost to theid sight.
%The bright face of Clara became instantly
sad did She said thoughtfully,
"i'erqaps he isn't so foolish, after 01, JS
they ihildt him to be. If he is, why woultVe
turn red when be heard us laugh? If hof . a
fool," she cont'nued, still having the lad' -
teted looks in her hunt q ey., "he must ve
the :s - ame feelings thaqother boys have he
would not have looked 6 ; 1 ,, and hurried so:
fast., lam vez l y sorry we laughed so im,
Susan." I ,

THE FATHER'S STORY.
. , ,-
' There . liqd•many miles from here, a Weal
-thy family whom I shall call Stedman. Of
four t i a
children they were ( all reMarkably ,in el
ligent save the youngest; (a boy,) who, al S!
was of that unfortunate class,o "eyesore' to
his family pride—a thorn "in the , side of As
family's ambition." ,, -
It has been told of him, that in infancy he
gave as many tokens of intellfgeneo . aS any
child of his monthS=.-was susceptible to that
language known only to the mothers; and
would prattle in return, would play with his
feet, and would gaze for hours al, the strange
pheno•netfon, his tiny hands; would cry out
with pain if a pin pricked -hiin;.' still; as he
_grew, older, his mind refused to advance,
strengthen end' expand with years." ' This
may be accounted for perhaps, as he grew
weak and imbecile inbody. . Disease seemed
to have laid its relentless hand uPon his phys
ical and mental facultieS at the 'Same time:
and though his life was despaired.of, he liv
ed, but it was a life almost without the ener
a and consciousness of life with him, so
fully does the mind sympa rise with the body.
It was soon gossipped abroa that this child,
John, tas an idiot. Some pitied while 'oth
ers rejoiced; for they gladly welcanied any -1,
thing, that might huMble the' hatighty pride
of the Stedmans.

them for the future; - not to feel themielves bet

than their neighbors. I am 0.4 if we
must be plagued with a fool in the village, it
belongs to that family." ' ' - '„
"It'will teach them not to set "thelichildren
up as better than other people's children," said
another, whose son , had been presumptuous
enough to raie his eyes to,the accomplished
MiSs - Sophia Stedman, and . mud enough to
send her a knot of forget-tne-nota.. This
daring on the part of the -rustic, - swain, pro-,

"and they most send that upstart, Frank, to the
city to det, him a wife—there was not one-rich
enough for him here; I suppose. Much hap
piness may she bring himr•
As may be supposed, the knowledge of
their shame going abroad, -was not without
its effect on the family pride of the Stedmans
and though they ' professed utter- indifference
for the opinions of their neighbors, who were
all a long way below them in the scale of
worldly weath, yet every word, every look of
disrespect, now stung them to , the core and
was laid . up against this sickly unoffending
child.' , Twill not say they wished him dead,
if suet an event had chanced it undoubtedly
would have caused them but little sorrow.—:
But he lived, and after many years was ,con-'
valescent.
"But was he still foolish, father?" asked
Clara, who had taketi more than ordinary in
terest in the little idiot_ boy, and could not re
frain from the inquiry.. The father smiled
approvingly and resumed—
The derolopement of his intellect teas

low of his being sent to school in-the village;
he could be taught niithing, and their disgrace
would only barnacle the more public thereby.
As to a private tutor, that 'was not. to be
thought of for a moment, though his brothers
and sisters were so provided for; and thus the
good that mig lit have been done, and the little
seeds that might have taken root and grown
to bear fruit, with pioper culture, were never
sown; nndshis mind. was !eke . hbrren - waste,
with nothing to feed upon but the fancies, of
its feeble, untutored self. tlo was never al-
lowed to leave the house for the same reason
that he was not sent to schdoF; but,when the
older Stedmans Were front humei and,'the
younger ones out ona party f •plkisure, old
Jeannette would open his prison door and let ,
him into the street. The sight of the idiot
boy was quite a treat to the gaping urchins
of the village, who never allowed an,opportu
nity to pass, i l Oteit they cottld indulge their
curiosity, and gaze and wonder at What they
could not compreltend--4he idiot boy. lie
