WHAT THEN-
THE CALICO CLOAK.
"Have you seen the new scholar ?" asked
Mary Lark, a' girl of twelve -or fourteen
years, .as she ran to meet a group of school
mates who were coming towards the school
-1.1•30 ; cuts- the most comic, figure you
ever saw. Her cloak is made out of calico,
and her shoes are brogans, such as men and
boys wear."
" Oh, yes, I've seen her," replied Lucy
Brooks ; "site is the new washer-woman's
daughter. I. shouldn't have thought Mr.
-Brown would have taken tier into the Acade
my ; but I suppose he likes the money that
comes through the suds as well as any. It is
clearer of course."
And the air rang with the loud laugh of
the girls.
-
"Come, let us go in and examine her,"
continued Mary, as they ascended the steps
of the school house; "I am thinking she will
make some fun for us."
The girls went into the dressing room,
where they found the new scholar. She was
mild, intelligent looking child, but poorly,
though tidily clad. The girls went around
her whispering and laughing with each other,
while she stood trembling and blushing in
one corner of the room, without venturing: to
raise her eyes frdm the floor.
When they entered school they found the
little girl was fAX in advance of those of her
age in her studies, and was placed in classes
-with those two or three 'ears her seniors.—
This seemed, on the whole, to make those
girls who were disposed to treat her unkind
ly, dislike her the more ; -and she, being of a
retiring disposition;through their influence,
had no friends, but wont and returned from
school alone. .
"-And do you really think," said 3l.ary
Lark, as she . went up to the litte girl a few
-weeks after she entered school, "that you are
going to get the medal. It will correspond
nicely' with your cloak." •
And she caught hold of the cape, and held
it out from her; while the girls around joined
in her -loud laugh.
cloak gee the medal I guess.
she will 1" I Should -like to see Mr. Brown
aiving it to her I" said another girl as she
caught hold of her arm, and peeped under
the child's bonnet. •
- The little girl struggled to release herself,
and when slie was free, ran home-as fast as
she could go..
"Oh, mother," she said, as
_she entered
her mother's hirable 'kitchen, "do answer
- Uncle William's letter, .and tell him we will
come to New York to live I don't like
to live in Bridgeville. The girls call ,me
`-calico cloak,' - and Brogans,' and. you dont
know, mother how very unkindly they treat
me." , .;
" Lizzie,. my dear," said her mother, "you
must expect to meet with those who will
treat.you unkindly on account of your pover
ty ; but you must not be discouraged. Do
right,. my child, and you will eventually come
off conqueror."
Although Mrs, Lee tried to encourage her
child; yet she knew that she had to meet with
severe trials for, one so young.
"But mother, they are all unkind to me,"
replied Lizzie ; "-there is, netune 'that loves
me."
And le child buried her face in her hands
and sobbed aloud.
In l3ridgeficld Academy there were a few
selfish, unprincipled girls ; and the others
joined them in teasing the little 'Calico

knpw not how deeply each sportive word
pierced' the heart of the little stranger, and
how many bitter tears she shed in secret over
their unkindness. • '
Mrs. Lee, learning,that the scholars still
continued their unjust treatment toward her
child,-resolved to accept her brother's invita
tion, although he was a poor man, and be
come a member of his family, hoping tliat,
while there,- her child 'could continue her
studies, and perhaps,through his influence,
lead a happy life among her school-mates:—
Accordingly, at the end of the term, she left
the school, yet she gained the medal, and it
was worn from tilt Academy beneath the
despised garment.
Weeks, months, and years glided - away to
the students of Bridgeville Academy, and
the, lltte " Calico Cloak," was forgotten.—
Those who were at school with her had left
to enter upon the business of life. _ •
Twelve years after Mrs. Lee and her daugh
ter left town, a Mr. Maynard, a young cler
gyman, came into Bridgeville, and was set
tled as a pastor of the . I , ll.lage church. It
was reported at the sewing circle, the week
following his ordination, that he would bring
his bride into town in a few weeks. There
was a great curiosity to see her, and especial
ly after it was reported that she was a talen
ted young authoress.
Soon after, Maynard gratified their curi
osity by walking into church with his young
wife leaning on his arm. She was a lady
of great intellectual , beauty, and everybody
(as they always are at first) was deeply inter
ested in the young minister and his wife,
The following week the young ladies flock
ed to see her, and she promised to meet
them at the next gathering of the sewing cir
cle.
The day arrived, and although it was quite
stormy, Mrs. Deacon Brown's parlor was
filled with smiling faces. The deacon's car
riage was sent to the parsonage after Mrs.
Maynard, and in clue time it arrived, bring
ing the lady with it. The shakings of hands
that followed her arrival can only beimagin

an occasion.

" Iration, l Linipy, the ears Will start in a
Minute, hurry up, - or we shall leave you be
hind."
The ears were waiting at a station of one
of our western railroads. The engine was
puffing and blowing. The baggage-master
was busy with baggage and checks. The
men were-hurrying to and fro with chests
and valises, packages and trunks. Men,
women and children were rushing for the
cars and hastily securing their seats, while
th locomotive snorted, and puffed and Wowed.
A man carelessly dressed, was standing on
the platform of the depot. - lie was looking
around him, and seemingly paid little atten
tion to what was passing. It was easy to
see that lie was lame. At a hasty glance,
one might easily have supposed that he was
a man of neither wealth nor influence. The
conductor of the train gave him a contemptu
ous look, and slapping him familiarly on the
shoulder, he called out,
" Halloa! Limpy, better get aboard, or the
cars will leave you."
" Time enough, I reckon," replied the in
dividual so roughly addressed, and he re
tained his seemingly listless position.
The last trunk was tumbled into the bag
gage-car. "All aboard !" cried the conduc
tor. "Get on, Limpyl" said he, as-he passed
the lame, carelessly dressed man.
The lame man made no reply.
Just as the train was slowly moving away,
the lame man stepped on the platform of the
last car, and walking in, quietly took a seat.
The train had moved on a few miles, when
the conductor appeared at the door of the
ear where our friend was sitting. Passing
along, he soon discovered the stranger whom
he had seen at the station.
" Hand out your money, hero !"
" I don't pay," replied the lame man, very
quietly."
"Don't pay?"
" No sir."
" We'll see about that. shall

Man is never satisfied with his lot. The
heart demands something, more, something
higher, something better, whatever blessings
it may already enjoy. • The scriptural Adam
and Eve are typical. The garden of Eden is
ours, We bask in its sunshine, its fragrant
flowers are all around us, plentiful fruits in
vite us to Rartake of their riches. Well were
it for this physical frame, if we knew of
no fruit forbidden us to taste. For what is
beyond our reach tempts us more than any
thing else s and in obtaining:it we exile our
selves from Paradise. Remorse for trans
gression is the flaming sword that.prevents
our return.
Realities never content us. The present

the whole region of life.. But the woods are
nothing but woods, shady, it is true, and green,

but we would have beds of pearl, in place of
those deceitful pebbles. Ah! there must be
woods and sweeter streams beyond the blue
hills yonder. So we travel ; but the soft
and dreamy future becomes a plain hard re
ality as we proceed. These 'very rocks sve
now tread once looked lovely under the warm
haze of hope ; so shall the charm of the
heights before us melt away and show us as
we climb, just such ledges, gnarled oaks,
chasms, morasses, wild pines andbarren slopes
as we have passed.
It is not a design that nature cheats us
with those illusions. Continually striving
for more exquisite beauty and higher hap
piness, we fulfil a law. It is well that no
material paradise is' a sufficient paradise for
us. In this circumstance of his being, man
differs from the animal. The lion in the
desert, the tiger in the jungle, the ape in
the woods, has no aspirations above his state.
But the tendency of the soul is upward
—upward forever. - What mockery this life
would be, if the grave were the end of all
things !—if, after chasing golden butterflies
or illusions through all the summer days,
death only met our embrace—if the actors
in this drama emerge not from behind the
scenes in their true character, after funeral
curtain falls upon the last act of life.
The following account of a brave boy—
one truly brave—we take from the Sunday
School Advocate. It imparts a good lesson
for though none of our young readers may
be placed in such circumstances as are here
detailed, yet all of them, both boys and girls,
will often be tempted to waver from the true,
the right course by fear,, or hope of profit.—

Two wicked men told a boy that he must
swear, or they would let a savage dog loose
upon him.
"I can't swear," said the boy, "it would be
wicked."
"You shall, or tbo dog shall tear you to
pieces I "
"No," said the boy "I won't swear/ God
forbids it I"-
"At him then I" said ono of the men to the
dog.
"Seize him I seize him !" shouted the other.
Now these men did not mean to let the dog
bite the boy. They only meant to frighten
him into the sin of swearing. But the dog
being set on, sprung suddenly from the man
who held him, and fastened his sharp teeth
in the noble little fellow's arm. Before those
wicked men could make the savage dog lot
go his hold, the boy's arm was dly man
gled. Fainting from fright and lose of blood,
lie was taken into the house of his master,
"who was a farmer's servant, and put to bed,
A fever set in, and after some days the boy
died, forgiving his cruel persecutors.
I admire the conduct of that brave boy.—
Hc could not be made to do wrong. He had
the stuff in him of which martyrs are made,
and I doubt not he wears a martyr's crown
in heaven. Glorious boy I
Children, cherish that boy's spfrit. Settle
in your hearts, at once and forever, that you
will always do right, cost what it may I Re
solve, by the help of God, that neither
money, honor, office, or anything shall ever
induce you to do wrong, and that you will
die doing right, rather than live by doing
wrong. Let your motto be, "duty with pov
erty and death, is better than wickedness
with wealth and life."
A Tratairmr, WESTERN STORM.—From the
country papers and.other sources, we learn
that on Wednesday, Ist ult., one of the most
terrific storms ever known in this region, was
experienced at the village of New Ulm, some
thirty miles west of St. Peter, on the Minnesota
river. Although it lasted but a few minutes,
such was its violence, that six buildings were
entirely destroyed, and not a single buil
ding in the town escaped without injury.
One building was lifted from its foundation,
carried some twenty-five feet, and turned over
on its'side. Anotlier large house, one of the
best in the place, not finished, was moved
some six feet, and badly racked and injured.
Several others had their walls rent and bro
ken. A kitchen built up against a house
was entirely demolished, andacookstorehurled
across an entire block—the pipe being driven
so far that it could not be found at all. The
Post Office was kept in a store, the front of
which had large windows. These were bro
ken in by the violence of the *wind, and the
contents of the building, consisting of the
mail matter, dry goods, etc., Ni ere gathered
in its embrace, and scattered over the prairie
in every direction. Many of the letters were
entirely lost.
.A stage owned by a citizen of Traverse, a
brother-in-law of the Messrs. Klein, of St.
Peter, was standing in the street at the time,
and was carried a distance of twenty-five
rods, being literally torn to .pi eces—tb e wheel
being torn from the axels.—Stfaul .31inricso

NO. 19,
ft is somewhat singular to trace the man
ner in which arose the use of the common
beverage, coffee, without which, some per
sona, in any half or wholly civilized country
in the world, would seem hardly able to ex
ist. At the time Columbus discovered Ameri
ca, it had never been known or used. It
only grew in Arabia and Upper Ethiopia.—
The discovery of its use as a beverage, is as
cribed to the Superior of a monastery, in
Arabia, who, desirous of preventing the
monks from sleeping at their nocturnal ser
vices, made them drink the infusion of coffee,
upon the report of some shepherds, who ob
served that their flocks were more lively after
browsing on the fruit of that plant. Its re
putation spread through the adjacent coun
tries, and in about two hundred years, it
reached Paris. A single plant, brought there
in 1714, became the parent stock of all the
French coffee plantations in the West Indies.
The extent of the coffee consumption can
hardly be realized. The United States alone,
annually consume it at the cost, on its land
ing, of from fifteen to sixteen millions of
dollars. The Arabia or Mocha, the best of
coffee, may be known by its email bean, of
a dark yellow color. The Java and East In
dian, the next in quality, are larger and of a
paler color; the West Indian Rio has a bluish
or greenish gray tint.

that .with a good temper, sincerity and a

SOLITARY BAN(YCZT.---A Cincinnati paper
notices the last solitary banquet of a " last

season of 1832, seven gentlemen agreed to
meet annually, and dine once together as
long as they lived, a bottle of wino to be
sealed and drank in memoriam by the last
survivor. The first re-union was held on the

1858, Dr. brattier, sole survivor of the seven,
drank from the bottle and pledged the six.

prevails among the Seneca tribe of Indians.
When an Indian maiden dies they imprison
a young bird until it first begins to try its .
power of song, and then loading it with kisses
and caresses loose its bonds over her grave,
in the belief that it will not fold its vrings nor
close its eyes until. it has flown to the spirit
land, and delivered its precious burden of
affection to the loved and lost. It is not un
frequent to see twenty and thirty birds /et
loose over a single grave.
