Its just hard enough to be go'd." " No, thank you, Jonathan, I never drink cider no more." "So you've gene and joined the Good Templara, oat, West, 3 have you?" " I never j'ined no secret society, not that I've anythinr , agin"em.. I feel like sayin', ' God bless every one "as stands up for temp'rance !' but I do go agin cider-drinkin'. I don't ,bl've its right." " Well, Aunt tstlier," replied the old gentleman, as, after taking a generous draught of the beverage in question, be placed the brown pitch er on the mantel-piece, pnd sat down in the chimney con*, opposite his guest ; " I've enjoyed your visit mightily talking of old times has wost made Polly and me young once more • m2(l'l thought you'd hardly changed a bit since you went away, forty years ago ; but you're ahead of us in this cider busines. Is it some new-tangled notion' you heard .out. West ?" "No new idee. The Scripture says wine is a mocker, strong drink is ra- " Yes I know ; but cider isn't' strong drink." "Are you right certain of that, Jonathan 7' and the old lady's eyes flashed as if she felt sure of having the strongest side - of the argument. "What is strong drink?'" "I suppose' it's anything that in toxicates—but cider is nothing but fipple•juice." " Sweet cider, you mean ?" "Yes, nothing but apple-juice, harmless as them pippins, and 'he pointed to a basket of beautiful fruit on the table. "And how long does it stay sweet ? " Oh, I don't know exactly—rit de pends on the weather—only a few days, I reckon." "Do folks generally drink it, and call it good," she asked, with the same light in her eyes, " when it's sweet ?" • " I reckon not." " You said that cider "—and the old lady laid down the long blue stocking she was knitting, and point ed to the pitcher on the mantelpiece, —" you said that cider was just hard enough to be good. What made it good, Jonathan ?" " Well:" and the old gentleman hitched his chair uneasily ; " well, I suppose 'Hs 'cause it's worked a spell. You know when cider first comes from the mill it's too flat ?" " Worked , a spell," and the blue ball rolled away unnoticed ; you mean its good cause it's got spirits in it, do you 2" " Well, I reckon- so." A vigorous turning and punching of the big back-log - sent the sporks flying up the chimney, and interrupted the conversatien at this point. "If it's got spirits in it, won't it intoxicate ?" continued his eager questioner. "Now, Jonathan, don't you remem ber the time when the cider froze be fore you put it in the cellar, and you. made out to get a little in a cup and get it on the stove _to warm ; then, when you went to- hapl fodder, you was so drunk you rolled off the load backwards, and the, horses ran home. I was awfully scared for fear you had a fit," and Polly related the affair with the air ,of a woman who has gained the upper .hand of her liege lord for once, altlxmg,b the good wo man was not at all averse to the con tents of the pitcher herself, and like some others who haie not s:-.en the bitter end, thought getting a little upset with cider rather amusing than disgraceful. "If cider makes folks drunk, it's strong drink, isn't it ?" triumphantly exclaimed Aunt Esther, as she saw the fortifications of his fortress fall ing to the ground under her well di rected. artillery. ' ' " Well, I reckon—well, I never reAlly—l never thought of it that way before. Here's your ball, Aunt Esther," and the old gentleman cov ered his confusion by picking up the ball and handing it to her with the gallantry of youth. "You know," continued the old lady, placidly resuming her knitting, now that her point was gained, "when . we first moved out West the country was new and wild, and neighbors awftil scarce. After sere , ral „years of failin', there was some years of mighty dig harvests. The wheat was powerful. big.

You know John's brother, pour Sam," 'and the voice 'grew low 'and tender, "drank so hard, and at last shot himself— 'tams awful, I can hardly bear to talk about it yet, and it was nigh on to thirty years ago—his grave is on the hill right in sight of our house." The knitting needles went on vigorously, as if their clicking could drown ter rible memories. - Ell "Did John get his wheat harves t ed 2" asked the .old gentleman, after a few moments' silence. "He called tie men around him, told them the dreadful- story and what caused it, as be pointed to the gravestone on the hill: 'Twai3 the Most affectin' temp'rance _lector' I ever heard," said Aunt Esther, lay ing down her knitting and wiping her eyes. ,_"Then he 'promised the men good, strong coffee, meat, Us? caits, pies and cakes should be sent out in the field in the middle of eve ry furenoon and afternoon—but not a drop Of whisky. If he couldn't find men to work on them terms his wheat might spoil !" "True pluck. I told you, Polly, Johii was the very man to go West, get rich, and drive everything before him." . "Did the men work•? "—eagerly in quired Polly, anxious to hear the end of the matter. " Not a single one refused," re plied Aunt Esther. " The neigh bors were surprised. The next year some of 'em tried John's plan, and now whiskey is hardly ever found in a harvest-field in our county." " John was right.. No wonder ev erything has prospered so with him," said the old gentleman, approvingly. , 1" And he had the right kind of a wife to help him," responded Polly, gazing admiringly at her visitor. Aunt Esther isniiled and blushed like a girl of ;sixteen. Suceers is sweet, and the respect of friends a recompense for many trials. Only those who have experienced the hard ships of pioneer life, know what such success costs, and how hard it is sometimes to stand firm for the , truth and right when all the surrounding influences arc on the side of wrong; or, at least, favor compromise on the pleaof necessity. But the story was not finished. Let us listen, as did the companions of Atint Esther, to her remaining sketch:_ As soon as John was able he bought trees foram orchard. I helped him set 'em out. The first crop of apples we gathered in a bushel bask et, put the baby on top, and carried 'em in so proud like. In a few years we. had wagon-loads, an'd the neigh bors, too. Illinois raises mighty4ne fruit, and lots of it. Ehen there be gan to be cider-mills all 'round, and folks drank cider instead of water. I didn't think but what 'twas all right for quite a spell. An old man from Indiany bought a farm next us, and moved there; he was stiddy, and a hard workin' man, an elder in the church; but his two oldest boys, about grown, was wild and rough ; they kept gettin' drunk and wakin' a fans in the neighbothcod. One day I was over there a visitin'. By and by we heard a great laugh out, on the back stoop. A bar'! of cider had worked so* that, the stopper ilew oat and the cider spattered clear to the eaves. "'Most hard enough to hold up an iron wedge,' said one of the boys, as we went in to dinner." " •Nevg,raitid,' said the old man.; there's another burl down-cellar,and putty soon we'll have some more.' " Well,l stayed mighty nigh all day, and they kept a-drinkin' and a-drink in' on what was left of that. hard ci der—the oia man, the old woman, all of 'em, clean down to the little boys, only three and five years old. The next day wms Sunday, and them big boys was otron another spree. Folks felt mighty sorry for their poor old, father and mother;, but I ss. there and kept a-thinkin if it liadn'. been. or them cider bar'ls at home that. give 'em a start on the down'ard road. Sontehow the sermons didn't do me much good that day—though Uncle David said the preaeher give us some powerful doctrine. " The next week Ono of the neigh bor's little boys got drunk on cider, and fell out of a hay-mow and was most killed. That saved -me—a lit tle boy, only seven years old, drunk most all day. 11 he liked. spirits when he was little like that wouldn't. ' the appetite grow on him till he grew up, and got to be a drunkard mid bad the delerious tremens like poor Sam. That night I kept wakin' up. -and seei7i' Sam in his coffin, only sometimes Iwonld be Johnny, and sometimes Freddie. The next mornie, first thing after breakfast, when the men watt gone oft to work in the. field, I went out and tipped over the barl, of cider that was etandin' under a big tree the yard. After a while T•went tint I the barn to get some edru-cobs, and forgot to fasten the gate good, and the hogs got in the yard and rooted up the grass all 'round where the ci der was spilt, and wade art awful tnusa. Btit I was busy. thin-filo', and t never noticed 'eau at all. "When John ',came to diither, he turned oat -the hogs, and says. tie: 'Esther I'm dreadful sorry the grass is spoiled so, and your uiet: beds of pinks.. I set 'sin out ageu, awl I guess they'll sow. I'll make `a , ilue other fastenn' x' for that gate.' . • I didn't , say nuthin'. I thonght more of my. boys than my poSes; but Pat scolded .like every tang 'cause the cider was goue, and John promised to get some more the next week. - That was Saturday. Stinday 2 told John how the cider gokt spilt, and then told him all I'd Wen thinkin' of, a n d asked him if he now Air QUA Xna .t . waled to bring lus boys up to. be :*.ru n anis. He said. he'd never thought of it that. way before, but seemed 1:) him I was right. Them he said: 'I promised Mike and Pat'l'd get" 'em some cider. What'll I do about it?' "Says I, ' A bad promise is better broken than kept. Give 'cm , some thin' else, or pay ' em a litttO 'more till their time s out—it's only' nett month—and don't ever furnish cider. again for your hands. Don't you re member about the harvestin' and the whiskey ? ' "'I never. thought I was leadin' 'em on to drink.' And en be leaned out the window and I oked- at the grave-stone on the bill, Und .says he: Esther, I'll never furnish cider to drink , agon, and go against the drinkin' of it as long as my navi ' e's John Sinclair." ', "I didn't think rwas doin' wrong, bein' a stumblin'-bloelc to the young members; but suppose we give up the cider, Polly," exclaimed the old gentleman, who was deeply moved b 7 Aunt. Esther's earnest words. ' • - "Y Jonathan, we'll make vine gar of what's left," replied - Polly, rubbingcler eyes and spectacles in - a suspicious manner. . " And yon . :know, Pony, some of them college chaps got some cider here the other night. I heard to=day they. had a spree, and carried on so, .they've had 'em up before thelacnlty. d'he boys will never get any more ci• der of Deacon Sargent's." COMMON SENSE, Too many hare imbibed the idea that to obtain a sufficient education to enable a man. , to appear advanta geoOly upon the. theatre, especially of public life, his boyhood and youth must be spent iu the walks of some classical seminary of learning; that he may commence his career under the high floating banner of•a collegi ate diploma with them the first round in the ladder of fame. That a refined classical education' is desirable, and one of the accom plishnients of man, I adinif = that it is indispensably necessary, and al ways makes a man more useful, I de ny. He who_ has been incarcerated from his childhood up to his majori y within the limited circumference of his school and boarding room, ;0- though he may have mastered all the classics, is .destitute 'of that' know ledge of men and things, indispensa bly necessary- to prepare hiin for ac tion, either in private or public life. Classic lore and polite literature arc very different from that vast amount of common intelligence, fit for every day use, that ho must hare to render his intercourse with society pleasing to himself or agreeable to others. He may have a large fund of fine sense, hat if he lacks common sense he is I.lte a without al•ndder. . \, t Let boys and girha be taught, ;first and last, all that is necessary to/pre pare them for the duties of life. I wish not to undervalue high seminaries of learning, but rather to stimulate these to persevere in -the acquirement of science, who are de lirived of the advantage of their daz zling lights. In this enlightened age, and in our free country,. all who may drink deeply at the fountain o f science. Ignoratlca is a voluntary misfortune By -a proper improve went of time,. any boy of ordinary ability may.lay in a stock of useful knowledge that will enable hint, when he arrives at manhood, to take a re ,spectable stand by the side of .those who hare grown up iu the full blaze of a collegiate, education, and with much better prospect of success at the start, beeausa he is -much better stocked with comer_ii. information, without which man:,. pitifully; help , less.
