STS, DRAWERS, The arithmetic class hadjust finished recit lug and were filing to their seats, when Jane Grey stepped up to her teacher, and , whisper ed : "Please, Miss Murray, there are two. iteW scholars at the door, and I. guess they are afraid to come in." Miss Murray looked towards the half open door, and there, upon the threshhold, stood two little girls, apparently eight and nine years of age. The elder was glancing bash fully around, and blushing at the many strange eyes that were bent upon her, but the - other stood, making grimaces at a boy, who was sitting near by. Miss Murray stepped up with a pleasant,"Good morning, little girls," took off their txameta and led them up to her desk. "What is your narnit, dear?" she asked of the elder, a dark eyed 'child, with a not un pleasing face, ands timid air. "Jane Dowdle, ma'am," was the answer. "And yours? she asked of the other. For reply, the child looked up in her face with a grin, which showed her teeth almost from ear to ear. Miss Murray could not help thinking, involuntarily, of little Red Riding Hood and the wolf—" Why, Grandma, what a great mouth you've got—what great teeth you've got:" And the wolf answered—"the better to eat you my dour,"- - and as she took in the child's whole appearance., the tanned face and stiff, sunburnt hair, pushed back from the high, retreating forehead, the mill, dull, blue eyes, the great month, disclosing two whole rows of great teeth ; the narrow shoul ders, projecting far backward, and the large waist, projecting as far forward, as if to res tore the equilibrium. She thought that she had never, in all her life, seen so impish and uncouth a looking child. She asked again. "Can't you . tell me your name? Yon have one, haven't you ?" Another grin, and the teeth opened and shut like the shell of an oyster, but, between the opening and shutting, there came out me nerds,' "Cacky Dowdle." , "Wha-a-t ?", asked the teacher, in surprise. "Cacky Dowdle," with another quick clack of the jaws. "What is her name ?"she asked, turning to Jsne. "Her name's Car'line, but we call her Cacky," was the answer, .and Miss Horny sent them to their seats.. , in the course of the forenoon she called for Jane and Caroline Dowdle to come and read. Jane instantly got up, but her sister sat still, with that same elfish grin upon her face =I leer, from her eyes. PkW4Dm.Pau, PA "Come, Caroline," the teacher called again. Jane took hold of her arm and tried to pull her up, but she drew back with a jerk. Hiss Murray went up to her with a picture book in her hand. "Come, Caroline, I aunt to show you these pictures, and see how many letters you can tell me." "My name's Cacky, call me Cacky, and I'll come." . "I would rather call you Caroline, I think its much prettier than Cacky." "I don't," wee the short answer Jane's face, naeantime,.was hot with blushes, for the whole school were looking, and listen ing, and laughing. "Come, qicky, ,come," she whispered anxiously, but the child would not stir. . Miss Murray thought It was best to humor the whim, so she said, "Well, Cacky, now come with, your sister, and read." She immediately rose and followed Jane, aud . stood by her side, looking round and making faces, while her.,sister wad patiently learning a and o, and u. At the noon recces some of the rudest of the children gathered roundand began to tease her. some of them cackled like it hen, some crowed out "cock-a-doOdle-doci," some ran op and twitched her sleeve; and then ran a way again.

WITHOUT TEE CHILDILEN, CAICHY DOWDLE. BY. RATE THORNB I whether the good she was receiving was kal i ticket to overbalance the evil she was doing, and whether the good of the school did not re- Sluire that BO should be sent away entirely. Miss Murray herself felt an unaccountable repugnance to the child, as if she were some thing more, or lees than, human. She never liked to go near her, never could bear to touch her, and thorigh she bad tried hard not to show the feeling ,still It was there. And it may be that Cage's dull eyes were sharper than they looted that she felt 'instinctively that all the irrndnesses her teacher had shown were given from a sense of duty, and not out of Jove. And so she would be revenged. At any rate, she grew so reckless and obstinate, and disobedient, that Miss Murray. determin ed to see her permits and tell them that Cacky must not come to school any longer. So she called at the wretched hovel which was their home. Beside the little girls, the family con sisted of a drunken tither, an ignorant, pas sionate mother, and a baby brother of two years old. Only the mother was at home, and she began immediately to talk of Cacky,—said . she was the torment of her life—that sire . couldn't do anything with her. She had whipped her and whipped her, but the more she whipped, the worse the child grew. • Miss Murray did not doubt this in the least, but suggested that milder means would probably be quite as effectual, though what these milder means should be, she herself was at a loss to know. The mother shook her head, and muttered, "ahe'a a bad one, she is, but she likes to go to school. " Her visitor did not wonder that she should like to go to school, or, indeed, anywhere, to get away from the discomfort of her wretched home. And see ing that home and mother, awoke a feeling of pity for the abused and neglected child, that he had never felt before, and she determined to persevere a little longer, to labor and pray yet more earnestly, to keep sowing the good seed, and maybe, after a time, she might seb it spring up and bear fruit. So she went away without doing her errand. She had not walked far, when, as she was passing a pile of boards, she heard , from be hind it a voice so like, and yet so unlike Cacky's, that she stopped, and looking cauti ously over, saw that it was indeed she. The child was sitting on the ground with her baby brotheresleep in her arms. Tears were on the little fellow's cheeks, and he sobbed in his sleep, while she rocked him back and forth, crying, and kissing him, and murmuring pet names and tender words. From her broken expressions Miss Murray gathered that the mother had punished the little one, and that his sister had taken him out there to comfort him, and so he had fallen asleep in her arms. But it was a new revelation of Cacky to her teacher. She had never seen her shedatear before, nor show a particle= of love for any human being. She did not disturb them, but went on her way saying exultingly to herself, "I hale found the key to Cacky 'a heart—it is love for her little brother that shall open it or me." The next day Cacky was more than usually perverse and aggravating. Slie hid Mary Green's boolt ; tipped over Lottie Day's ink stand; caught Johffny Moon's neck in a slip knot made of Carrie Grey's tippet ; pinched one little girl's arm till she screamed, and made such a horrible face at another that she cried. All day long the perverse spirit with-' in her acted Itself out like this, until her teach ers uxitaittmg patience had Immix plan wad. After school was dismissed Cacky was called up to the desk- It was not the first time she had been kept after school by any means ; and as a group of little girls came up to kiss Miss Murray good-night, she stood looking on, sul- len and defiant. When the children were gone, and they two were alone, Miss Mur ray, instead of putting the usual question, "Cacky, what does make you be so naughty ?" said pleasantly, "Cacky, you've got a little brother at 'home havn't you ?" The child was so surprised. at the unusual question that she forgot her grimaces, and simply stared at her teacher in astonishment. Miss Murray went on, "I saw him last evening when I was out walking, and he is such a fine little fellow I should think you would love him very much. What is his name?". The look of blank as tonishment hadgiven place to a softer expres sion, 'and now 'she wtueamiling—a genuine smile it was too, so different from her usual sardonic grin that it made her look like an other child. "His name's my Sammy," was the anster, "Can he talk?" "He can say Tacky,"' she replied, glee fully. "And he can do a great many cunning things can't he ?" "0 yes'm," and Cacky's tongue was un- loosed now, and she proceeded to give Miss Murray an account of all Sarnmy's varied ac complishments. "Well, cacky, you must bring him up to my house ,and.let me see him—Will you ?" The child's eyes sparkled. "And now when you go home givehim this kiss forme," and the lady bent over and left a kiss upon the child's' lips, "And to-morrow you will be my goo d , know you will—and I shall lov e you very much." The child lOoked in her teacher's face 'doubtfuli-theieeri came into her eyes, and she 'fltirly'sobbeB out; "'here don't' nobody Icive me kily salmykr, lof r don' t love nobody M but M."

But the change began froi WHOLE NO. 3503 that time. She felt that there was somebody in the world to care for an love her--some body who rejoiced when she did right and grieved when she did wrong—somebody who was hoping and expecting her to grow up a. pleasant and useful girl She had many 'and hard struggles with her evil disposition, she she made many failures; but her teacher was her true friend, and upheld her by her love, her patience, and her prayers; and in return the child gave her the full love and confidence of her hung l ry heart, and strove to please her in all things. A sweet sisterly love sprang up between her and Jane, and the other scholars seeing the change began to treat her with more kindness than they had ever done before. By and by the uncouth name of Cacky became Caroline, and afterwards, as she grew in the affection of her Mends it was aglein transformed to Carrie, and such it still refusing. But Miss Murray did not rest with this out ward change. She knew that the turbulent, passionate heart would never find rest until it found It in the bosom of the Saviour, And so ;day by day, she prayed, and strove to lead her to that sure refuge ; and ?great was her Joy, when after months of patient laboring she received the fruit of her toil, and felt that she could number her among the preciotat lambi of the dear Saviour's fold. Carrie's plain features will always be plain, but they are lighted up by the patient, hope fuls cheerful spirit within. Her figure is still awkward and ungraceful, but the narrow shoulders are strong enough to bear other burdens than her own. Bound together by one faith, one hope, one aim, the two sisters are walking hand in hand the dark way ap pointed for them. Their lot in life is not a pleasant one. Their home trials are many and bitter, but their softening Influence is felt and acknowledged even there. Their darling Sammy has been laid in the grave, but they feel through their tears that it is well. And so, strong in their Saviour's strength, cheered by the love of a few steadfast friends, they are trying to make the most of themselves, and to make the world better for their living in it. her the "STAz AID 13rmurte,." NATIONAL SOLDIER"' ORPHANS HOMESTEAD Mn. EDITOR :—A recent and very interest ing communication was received at the Na tional Homestead, from its General Agent in New England—Maj. George E. Cleeton.— Some of the statements are so decidedly inter esting, as connected with the prospects of the Homestead, that your readers will be pleased to have them transferred to a column of your paper; for all justly feel that the claims of the National Soldiers' Orphans' Homestead are among the foremost in the noble charities of the day—feel, indeed, as to its ylertainings - , that it has much of the sacred. Its locality is on sacred ground. Its position marks the centre of the moat renowned battle-field of modern times. The very building now aced pied as the National Orphans' Home—your readers will never forget—vibrated with the most terrific cannonading through the entire three days' bloody strife. From it, too, went forth the firm, decisive commands, that foiled the almost superhuman efforts upon the cen tre and right wing of our menaced forces, in the fearful battle of Gettysburg. Not far dis tant, either, from the southern boundary of its present grounds, stands the headquarters *cc...a Refute from the time of hiaoppeetame arrival amid the scenes of the then doubtful, swaying contest, where the precious blood of thousands of freemen was poured out in bap tism all over this naturally calm, Auburn-like' region. Truly the object for which this Homestead has been established is worthy of the locality o a,National Home for the orphan of the nation's faithful soldier—faithful unto I death. The means, too, by which the Home has been established, and by which it is to be enlarged and sustained, partake of the sacred also. • The nucleus of the fund thus far used I had its origin from an incident most tender and touching, moving in a brave soldier a de votion, the depth and intensity of which death itself could not overpower. , Voluntary contributions have been made from, time to time to a fund thus inaugurated in pious sympathy with the heart's purest de: votion. But for the increase to this fund, and promise of successful completion, the Home stead stands indebted to the generous and per fect charity of the Sabbath School. This steps forward and assumes the guardianship of the bereaved orphan, and gives of its pi ous bounty in support. Upon such generous, prompt and timely , aid the Homestead may rely fer carrying out the magnanimous de sign of proilding for 500 soldiers' orphans.— Of this prompt and efficient aid already ren dered by the Sabbath Schools, it may be add ed that as yet these have been but partially addressed, and this address confined to a lim ited number of the States. It is considerably, leas than a year since the first appeal in be half of the National Homestead Las been presented to the , New England Sabbath Se poleby the General Agent---Maj. Geo. E.

Of course you are posted in regard to the severe earthquakes and rushing of the waters . that occurred here on the 18th of November, 1866, at 15 minutes to 3 o'clock, P. M. The day was clear, calm, but rather sultry. At the hour stated there were two very heavy successive shacks of earthquake—almt a minute intervening—when, 10, and behold ! a cry goes forth, "The sea is coming !" and it did come. After receding for some distance it returned with renewed force, as a billow, Or a succession of billows, at an altitude of from 25 to 80 feet, sweepingeverithing be , fore it that was not, as it were, founded on a rock. , The B.

Had she come in bow foremost the destruc tion of the main portion of the town would have been inevitable. Besides, had this dreadful calamity occurred at night how can we make a calculation of the live! that Would have been lest ? As it was, there were 8 to 10 lives lost at the moment, not._ mentionln g those Who died from exposure afterward.— Many, I am sorry to -write, eery many have since died from fright and exposure, as for many days and nights they were so much re duced, and became as feeble from the constant exposure, and also, bad food at exorbitant prices, that the reaction was too great. It mast be taken into consideration also that this Island (St. Croix) had never heretofore -fait anything of the kind ana l very naturally, every one was more or less unprepared ; in fact, totally blind as to what measures were prudent. How gracious is He, who rules the ele ments ! God be praised for His deliveraace ! Since that memorable day (Nov. 18) there has been no other flooding• of the sea; but yet frequent shocks of earthquake, occasion ally quite perceptible (not damaging, howev er, except to the nerves), though mostly very slight.

Of comae, her armament s ammunition, etc., were removed to lighten her as much as possible. Everything- was going on right, and Wednesday last (4th) was the day she was expected to be afloat. - Alas ! an accident. She started a few minutes te - fore time, caused by the stern brace giving way and although they knocked out the pins wbi held the bow • brace at once, it wee a mom t too late, end the natural result was the stern got a little the 'dart of the bow end, which caused her to twist in the ways and break them to pieces, so that she settled down on some of the timbers and could' not be moved further. . There was a large concourse of people's.- ambled to witness the launching, and there was many a sad heart that day to see such a noble vessel destined as it were to destruc tion. She received a very heavy strain, and .parted amidships some three taffy. inches.— The &Bowing two or three dayathere was a very heavy sea, which was rather- detrimen t el.
