LOYE'VS. DISCIPLINE.
It was'evenlnjr in tho clooiny old fash
ioned kitchen of Farmer Qroy. Tho
green paper curtains, covered with pict
ures of impossible scenery and strnngo
jrxotesquo figures, were lowered, shutting
out tho whlto moonlight as It lay upon
tho snow covered fields llko glittering
crystals.
Great logs of oak and cedar filled tho
wido fireplace, casting a ruddy, cheerful
glow around tho room; nn Angora cat
lay basking in the bright firelight, while
upon tho opposite sldo of tho hearth,
stretched at full length, iay n great New
foundland dog; tho yollow painted floor
was clean as hands could make it, and
altogether the room presented a scone of
rural comfort not to do despised.
Tho farmer sat in his easy chair, deep
in meditation, with his eyes fastened
upon tho. fire, whilo tho busy housowlfo,
with deft fingers, plied the knitting
needles, and glanced occasionally at tho
couplo seated nt the table busy with
their books. It was their daughter and
tho district school teacher.
Faith Groy was an only child, and
from tho timo when she first began to
talk had ruled her loving subjects.in tho
llttlp kingdom of homo with absoluto
sway. She was now 17 years of age,
with laughing brown eyes and waving
auburn , -Lair, that rippled and shono
with a touch of gold in its soft meshes
when alio faced tho Bun. Her com-
Elezion was fair and puro as an npplo
lossom. Her dress was a simple brown
merino, with a plain white collar fas-J
tcnea at mo mroat Dy r. diuo notion,
whilo streamers of the same aruro hue
confined tho meshe3 of waving hair.
Sho was tall and slender, with a supple,
willowy graco perceptible in overy move
ment of her graceful form.
Her companion was'apparently 23
years of age, with a broad white brow
and dark lalr, which clustered in littlo
ringlets about his forehead; his oyes
were black and penetrating; tho grave,
firm moutli betokened indomitablo will
and strength of character; his faco was
smootli, and Ills large, well mado form
was arrayed in a suit of plain black. Ho
was college. educated, and while waiting
for a situation had learned that he could
have the winter Bchool in this district to
teach, tfud being- poor, had' accepted it
rather .than remain idle- until a moro
eligible one presented itself. Ho was far
from despising small beginnings.
Ho well know that tho school boro no
enviable reputation, for by report it was
known far and near. Only tho winter
beforo tho scholars had chosen to givo
the teacher a seat in a snowdrift, and.
and then entering the school room had
held high carnival, laughing and jeering
at him as he tried in vain to enter, and
in despair ho had turned hi3 back upon
tho school and .the town. Ho well know
that it was no light task which ho had
undertaken, but only a tighter closing of
tho firm Hps was visible as ho accepted
tho trust, nnd silently vowed to conquer
or die. It was a school of fifty scholars,
ranging from four to twenty years of
age. A mixed assembly, sonio good,
soma bad, and some neither tho ono nor
tho other, but ready to join tho strongest
party.
Ho was obliged to board around, and
as ho was exceedingly particular and fas.
tidious In all his personal atlairs, some
encounters which ho was obliged to make
were laughable in the extreme. Ho choso
tho place farthest from his school for his
first boarding place, and as he took his
seat at the supper tablo ho glanced ap
palled at tho view which tho board pre
sented. The dishes were cracked and
grimy, and tho supper was composed of
dish of potatoes, familiarly known
omonir tho country neonle as tho "Ions
Johns." Gigantic in size, tlioy lay black
and heavy upon the dirty plate, flanked
by a deep yollow dish, two-thirds full of
pork fat, whilo slices of tho pork, fried
to a cinder, floated upon tho top. A
plate of bread, with a leaden strip at the
bottom of each slico, and a small piece or
butter composed of alternate stripes of
whlto and yellow, completed tho viands.
IIo crushed down tho rising f eeung or
disgust and mado no sign, even when
tho young eon, a hoy or iu years or age,
seized ono of tho potatoes in his dirty,
unwashed hands, and, squeezing it, ex
claimed: "Harm, this 'cro 'tater ain't
done," and laying it down coolly repeat
ed tho operation with tho rest.
This was a sample of tho meals which
ho was compelled to partako of whilo ho
stayed at his first boarding place, but ho
was moro f ortunato In his next selection.
It was at Farmer Grey's, and Mrs. Groy
was a noted housowifc. Faith was one
of his hardest pupils to manage. Never
doing any mischicr which no could trace
directly to her, yet, by somo unaccount
able influence, ho "was suro that sho in
duced tho rest to act in direct defiance of
his authority, and when detected her
own faco would bo as demuro and inno
cent looking as that of a kitten.
Sho was a ready and apt scholar, and
seemed really delighted with tho oppor
tunities of learning which, tho talented
young master placed within tho reach of
all. Ho was possessed of a vast fund of
general information, and ho gavo to
them without measure and without
stint Ho was kind and gentle, but" in
very truth they found him master all
but Faith.
As tho days lengthened into weeks an
unquiet spirit appeared to enter into tho
girl, and sho seemed almost boldly de
fiant. With exceeding patience and,
gentleness tho master boro with' all her
freaks, and although sorely tried ho en
deavored, by gentle, wlniilnij kindness,
to bring her to sco tho great wrong sho
was doing herself and him, But it was
of no avail; tho moro ho tried tho moro
ho might- try, and tho dancing brown
oyes shot forth angry sparks as at last ho
passed her most daring pranks by in ab
soluto silence.
However, tho crisis came at last. At
the noon recess one of the oldest scholars,
a youth of 10, had tried to steal her hand
kerchief In fun; It was a dainty affair,
mado of loco and muslin, a urcscnt frcxa
tiff Cllf
$1.28 when
ner cousin In tho citv. Fnlth had reso.
lutely declined all such advances, but in
the afternoon sho reached across tho
aisle and laid it upon tho open leaves of
tho book whero ho was studying. With
graceful bow lie acknowledced tho
gift, and raised it to his lips, when 161 a
tiny dead mbuso dropped from its folds,
and a universal glgglo ran through tho
room. In desperation tho master called
them to order, and thero was a sharp
ring, as of pain, in tho grave, stern tones
which said, "Fnlth Groy can stop after
school to-night.'' That was all. and.
without casting a look in tho direction
of tho young girl, tho business of tho dny
ont on as usual, but each and all under
stood that trifling was nt nn end, nnd
even Faith's rosy checks paled n littlo as
sho glanced shyly at tho stern, oulot
faco.
It had been a hard day for the youne
master, nnd it was no wonder If his pa
tience was exhausted. In the morning
ono of his largest scholars, a half wltted
frenchman, had entered Into and im
mediately commenced trf laugh, and all
tho information that could bo elicited
from him was that ho cucssed "the two-
year-old would get full by and by," and
again ills rat sides would shako with
laughter. Ho was a great, overgrown
fellow of Blxtcen, who worked for his
board at a farm about a mllo from school,
and at noon his employer presented him
self at tho schoolhouso, and in loud, an
gry tones ordered him never to darken

It appeared that tho spring whero tho
cattlo had been in tho habit of drinking
was lormeu by lowering a barrel into
tho ground, and all around it was very
slippery with ico, and as the clown had
driven them to drink, tho "two-year-old"
had slipped and fallen in head first, and
being unablo to got out alone, tho French
man had left it to "get full" whilo ho
went to school. When found by the
farmer tho animal was drowned. Al
though the schoolmaster could not blame
tho farmer for his indignation, yet tho
clrcumstanco annoyed him exceedingly;
nnd if ono might bo allowed to judge by
tho look of determination on his.white,
stern faco, Faith was likely to feel tho
full force of his authority, and oven her
stout heart quailed a littlo as tho shadows
lencthened and tho dav drow near its
close.
Tho last lesson had been recited, tho
last class had stood up to spell; tho even
ing hymn had been sung, and at last
scliool had closed, tho scholars filing out
of tho houso in good order and with a
strango quietness nud dispatch, wrap
ping about them their shawls, hoods and
comforters. Faith, with tho roses all
gouo from her dimpled checks, was sit
ting at her desk, whlto and still. For n
few moments, which seemed like an eter
nity to her, tho master sat at his desk
with head bowod upon his hands. Tho
short winter's day was drawing to a
close, and ono solitary sunbeam, red as
blood, streamed through tho window and
lay across tho desk exactly in front of
her, and to the day of her death Faith
will carry a vivid inward picture of that
littlo schoolroom, for overy articlo which
it contained was indelibly impressed
.upon her mind in thoscj few moments.
iU last tho master raised his head nnd
III low tones said:
"lilss Fnlth, you may cqjno here."
At tho sound of his voico tho blood
rushed back to tho chcok which had been
so palo but a moment ngo, and her cour
age rovired. Sho aroso and with firm
step walked across tho room and stood
before him, and as their eyes met sho re
turned his gazo unflinchingly. His was
a sad, beseeching look, as though ho
would urgo her to beg his forgiveness,
Hers was a mixturo of fun and anger
combined, but certainly they showed no
signs of sorrow. As ho aroso to his feet
his luuro form towered like a eriant abovo
her, and reaching over his desk ho grasp
ed liis foriye.
"Hold out your hand!
And moro iu sorrow tlian In auger he
looked to see if his command was obeyed,
Tho words wero jerked forth as though
they caused tho speaker untold pain,
Faith obeyed, although tho whito lids
covered the brown oyes and tho long
eyelashes swept over cheeks as whito as
tho snow outsiao. isno iiaa never re
ceived a blow in her llf o, and sho shivered
as tho tips of her slender Angers wero
firmly grasped, and ono short, sharp,
stinging blow descended upon tho whito
palm, leaving a crimson mark that curi
ously reminded ner or tne blood red sun
beam as it lay across tno dcslc una ferulo
was raised for another blow when again
thoir oyes met, but from tho brown ones
tho anger was gone, nnd they were full
of tears and muto pleadings, nnd with a
dull thud tho ferulo dropped to tho floor,
and tho girl was clasped to his heart in ft
wild, passionate embrace.
In after years, when sho was the loved
and honored wife of tho statesman who
bosrau his career as a district school
teacher, Faith was wont to say that tho
keeping 'up of appearances so that others
might not know What had occurred was
tho hardest lesson sho had ever learned. It
was impossible to become tho docilo pu-
pll which sho now longed to bo without
oxciting suspicion, and for eight weeks
sho acted her part in a manner worthy
of the most finished actress; and to this
day It is an unsettled question between
them as to which conquered. True t lag.
