THE BOTIND BOY.
" I don't care !." sobbed Julius
Kingsley. " You 're real. mean—so
you are!"
And he thiew himself down i on a
pile of disjointed kindling wood, in a
paroxysm of childish rage.
"Is that the way to talk to me ?"
angrily demanded Mrs. Parley, be
stowing a most cordially given box
either side of the doomed yoFig vic
tim's head; " and you nothing on
earth, hut .a bound boy! I 'nt no
patience with you—and Job ,himself
wouldn't lft•e! "'t •
" Gently, mother, gently. What's
the matter now ? " demanded Farmer
Parley, cautiously thrusting his sun
burntshock of hair into the wood

" Matter ! " echoed Mrs. Parley.
" Why, just look here ! Them wheels
off the-old wheel-barrow hysted up
to the ruff, with the second-hand
harness you bought Ao' Deacon Sils
bury and the strips for the new rag
carpet—and all the wood tumbled
down, higgledy-piggledy, to make
room for it. Apd the hens auk fed,
find the cows an't gone after—and
there an't nothin' done that ought to
be ! I tell you I ha'nt no patience
with his experiments and tricks. Get
np Julius, this minute, and go for
the cows ; and not a blessed mouth
ful of supper will you get this night."
Julius Kingsley . obeyed salkily,and
with down-droning head.' - He was
a bright looking boy of about thir
teen, with dark grey eyes and - thick
brown .hair,which hung over a square
low forehead ; and as he walked he
clenched his
_boyish_ hands, until the
nails indented the flesh in crescent
shaped marks.
" I won't stand it!" muttered Jul,
ins to himself. •
." They've no busi4
ness to treat me so."
And then the wrathful mood sub
sided in seine degree, as ho remem
bered the man deeds of kindness
that he had received from both Mr.
And Mrs. Parley -thecare in sick
ness, the neatly mended clothes, the
many little tokens of watchfulness so
new and grateful to the orphan boy;
and little Alice, too, who trotted at
his heels when he went to gather ap
ples in the orchard, and thought
I the wooden toys his ingenious jack
knife furnished the most marvellous
of creation. '
"I suppose I am a trial," sighed
Julius ; " but she needn't have torn
all my machinery down ; and then
to box my ears, too ! "
It was rather a derogatory process
to the boyish dignity of
r thirteen.
" You ain't in earner abant his
supper, mother ?" said Farmer. Par.
ley, as they sat• down to the well
spread evening board.
" Yes, I be. Have some quince
sus, Alice ? "
" Remember, he's a growin' boy,"
pleaded her husband.
'I can't help that ; he's got to
learn to behave himself. There an't
no other way of inanagin' him. It
was only yesterday- he blowed the
top off my best presart* can, to
show Alice how a steamboat worked;
and last week, I - most got poisoned
with a bottle o' some stuff he'd got
tucked away on the shelf, that I took
for vineger."
"Sulphuric acid, mother;" said lit
tle Alice. "It was to —"
"I don't cure what it was for," in
terrupted the farmer's wife. "Julius
can behave well enough when he's a
mind to, and he's got to." ,
And the fsrmer knew from the way
.his wife compressed her lips togeth
er, that slip was in . unmitigated ear
nest.
Julius Kingsley went supperless
to his room, but before he had begun
to undress, a soft knock came to his
door, and Alice's voice whispered: •
" Julius ! Julius ! "
"What is it ? "
" Open the door. I've got a piece
of peach-pie for you, and two rusks,-
find a bowl of milk!'
"But what will your mother,: say,
Alice ? "
a She's gone to Mrs. Badger's, and
she thinks I'am in bed, but I got up
and dreseed myself. I couldn't sleep,
.41ins, thinking how hungry you
meat be."
And she nestled down close at the
bound bey's side, as he, eagerly de
voured the snpper,which she brought
him. .
"I was hungry, Alice," said Julius,
as 'he took a long draught of milk,
" and you're a good. little thing. I'll
do as much for you some day."

Alice laughed.
"I don't get into uerapes like you.
Julius,"
".That's no sign you never
Mrs. Parley; secretly relenting in
the depths of her motherly heart,
gave (Tunas the brownest cakes and
the juiciest bit of meat for breakfast,
the next morning.
".He'll behave himself now, I
guess," she thought ; but in this, she
was mistaken.
Julius " did up " his chores in
the shortest possible period of time,
that afternoon,wben haw Parley bad
betaken herself to the Sewing Circle
with little . Alice, and the farmer was
gone to the neighboring village, and
applied himself with more zeal than
discretion' to the further prosecution
of the experiment that had ended
so disastrously for the, preserving
-
"The tea-kettle isn't of glass,"
thought Julius, " and I know I can
make that work."
Vain unction to lay to his soul ;
for jnst•as that experiment, whatever
it happened to be, reached the cul
minating point, up flew the tea•ket
tie from the stove, tortured by much
caloric, and bang went the iron lid,
right into the dresser cupboard, that
held Hrs. Parley's. beet set of china.
Julius stood -staring aghast at-the
ruins. All housekeepers have their
domestic idols, and this new "iron
stone " set was Mrs. Parley's. The
tea-pot lay noiseless and demolished
before his eyes, three cups were bro
ken, and the handle was dashed off
from the• cream-pitcher, while the
knob was chipped neatly off the cov
er of the sugar-bowl.
• Julio? only. paused for one glance
at the general ruin, then, lie turned
and tied ingloriously from this Wa
terloo of his teic-utitie effdrts.
And the next day, all Bickerton
knew that; Fanner Parley's bound
boy had run away, after first denaol
isl all of Mrs. Parley's china, out
of sheer revenge. - because she had
boxed his cars the day before.
"I - alivays knew that boy Avonldn't
cow to no ood," said Deacon
Jones.
- " There was a vicious look In his
eyes," croaked Miss Lavina Denham,
" and I only wonder he didn't set fire
to the ItOuso. or burn you all in your
beds." '
But little Alice cried bitterly, and
treasured more tenderly than ever, a
goggle-eyed doll, with arms out of all
proportion, and feet several degrees
larger than ber head, which was the
last wooden exploit Julius had pre
sented to het.
" never have another bound
Goy," asserted Mrs. Parley.
" Well, well," sighed the farieer,
"how time does slip away from us,
to be sure! Alice is nineteen to-day,
and it don't seem right she rhotUll
be away from us ou her birthday.
She's been three, months in the city
now, wife."
"Yes," said Mr:. Parley, nodding
her bead sagely-, " and I don't blieve
she'll come home alone, neither."
!.• Eh! " The farmer opened wide
his blue eyes ; "yon don't s'pose
she's engaged to that Mr, Clinton ?"
" You men are so slow to put two
and two together," said Mrs. Parley,
With a conscious smile. " sus-
Pitioned it this long while, and Mrs.
Carter writes that it'll be a splendid
match, and half the young ladies in
Boston are envying our little country
girl. Only think! won't it be nice.
to have our Alice a rich lady, livin'
in a big house in Bostcin?"
Mr. Parley stared steadfastly at
the fire.
"Who is he, any way ?." he asked
in a troubled voice. •" She's all the
child we've got, wife. - We can't give
her to a man, without - knorin' who,
and what he is."
" You needn't worry," 'said his
wife, with the super calmness of one
who is p..sted. " He's as-steady-go
in' as you be yourself—at least, so
Mrs. Carter writes—and he's an in
ventor, whatever that may be. Any
way; he made a great fortune eat of
a patent he's sold to the government.
Alice won't have to work all her days
as hard as I have done, and that's
one comfort." '
And when Alice's shy letter, which
implied far, more than it told, inti
mated that she was coming home
under Mr. Clinton's escort, the old
farm-house was duly swept and
garnished for the reception of the
honored guest. Mrs. Parley put on
-her best black silk, and the farin.r
donned his - buttermilk suit, which
seemed to Mai as gorgeous as it had
been on the day he bought it, twenty .
good years ago—
" 1 wonder which train they will;
come in," said Mrs. Purley, reflec-;
Lively, "I should - hate the worst Way.
to have that turkey spoiled."
Fu' such a catastrophe was hap
pily averted, for the travelers arrived
just as the stormy twilight made the
glow of the great wood fire doubly
grateful. There was the - crunch of
wheels in the deep snow without, the

stood,'stately and dignified and self

aced." Mr. Clinton," with a deep
red flush upon her cheek.
" You must like 'Jim very much,
father, for my sake," she said, , ""be
cause, because, I have promised to
be his wife."
When the hospitable 'meal was
over, and Mrs. Parley came in from
the kitchen; pulling down the sleeves
that had l:een rolled up above her
elbow, and tying on a clean checked
apron, Alice sprung to her feet.
"Mother,' she said,with her face all
smiles and
"dimples, "Mr. !Clinton

" A.present ! " cried Ilre. Parley.
"And father must get a h ammer

wife, with puzzle eyes . (Al don,t

He smiled. "It is to replace the

Mrs. Parley stared, beginning to

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON TEE'
EITORY.
Poh - r TowsszNr), W. T., March 17, 1.171.
Ma. Enron : Washington Territo
ry, situated in the 'far,
corner of-United Sta:es, has until IV
cently been comparatively unknown;
but in view of the construction of
the Northern Pacific Railway from
its initial point in Minnesota, to some
point on Puget Sound in Washing
ton Territory, ingniries have been
made in . referenee to the Territory .
and Sound ; therefore, a few facts
concerning them may be of interest
to some' of 'you; readers. Breaking
in from the north west coast, in the
latitude of 49 degs., the yStrait of
Juan-de-Fuca extends eastward for
a distance of eighty miles, from
thence tlre Strait of. Rosani reaches
northward, while a larger portion is
deflected bbittliward, known as Admi
ralty Inlet ; on its extension smith-
Ward to Oly-mpia, a distance of one
hundred miles, so ramified that it re
ceives differenv names, vet all indeti
);itely included unOer the ge:eral ap
p2llation,f Puget sound ; an inland
sea, possessing over sixteen hundred
miles of slacire line, with numerous
harbors.of vari.ms depths ; a, sib.
whese waters teem with animal life,
`and over whose pheid snrface glides
rapidly the canoe of the Indian, and
will soon be transformed into an ar
cane. of commerce ; through which
the coffers. of American capitalist's
will ba filled.
The i.',ound is surrounded on either
side • by 'extensive forests of giant fir
and - stately cedit-'p . whost.: length and
quality are,p'ecntiarly adapted for the
construction of • ships and spars,
which bring the foreign vessels with
incur borders, and largo shipments
are made to nearly all parts of the
world; here situated on the Sound,
are numerous steam mills of great
„
capacity, turning out daily' large
quantities. of lnaibrir, which'. is taken
directly from the saw into the vessel,
and shipped to yalparaiso, Honolulu
and other ports,' hat mostly to San
Francisco, where a. portion of the
mill owners reside.
