The pupils turned to their accustomed stridies, for during the ,reign of Lugarein the Village-school, they had been so used to scenes of violence .and'se- Vere chastisement, thnt-such things made.' but little interruption irk the tenor of their way. ' - 'Now; While the intervening hour is passing, we -will clear up the- -mystery 'of the hag, and of young Baker being under the garden-fence-on the pre - eeding night. The boy's mother was a widow, and ,they both had to live in the narrowest limits: , RN father bad died - when-he wag six years old, and little Tim was left - a sickly, ema ciated infant Whoin no one : expected to 'live many months. 'To' the surprise of all, however ; the poor little child kept alive, and sLeeined to recover his health, as he certainly did his size and good looks.— This was owing to the kind .offices of an eminent physician who had a country-seat in the neighborhood ,and who bad been interested-in the widow's little Tim, the physician said, might- possiblY outgrow his disease ;-but everything was uncertain- It -was a -mysterious -and affiing mal a dy; and it. would not be. won derful lf be should in some moment of apparent health be suddenly taken. away. The poOr. widow was at first in a continu al state of uneasiness ; ',but- several years hid now passed and none of the..impend ingevils had fallen upon the boy's 'head.. His mother seemed to feel confident that he Would live,. and be khelp and an hon or to her old age ; and the Oro' struggled an together,mutually happy in each other, - and enduring much of poverty and dis- - cornfort,without repining, each ler the other's sake. Tim's pleasant - disposition had made hito.inany friends:- in ..the village, • and amongst the rest a'yenng" farmer narned Janes, who with his elder brotheriworked a largeTirmin the neighborhood on shares. Jones very frequently made Tim a-pres ent'of a bag of•potatoes or corn,.Oi• some garden vegetables, *Nell: he took'from his own Stock; but as his partner was :a. .parsimonious-, high-temperedLman, • and had often said that Tim was an idle'. fel-. low;'and ought not to be helped beeause he did not work; .Joneif , generally made A his-gifts.n such Umaimer that - no one knewanything about them except hiMself and.the grateful object of his kindnesS. It inight• be,. too, that the widow was loth :to have it understood by the neighbors.Ahat she received: food from anyone ;,for there is often an excusable pridel in people -of her condition:which makes:them - shrink from being considered an object Of "'char ity" as they .wmild from:. the - severest pains. , On the night in question,Tim had been that,Jones:mou/4 'seiid• Ahem a bag of potatoes,.and:the k lace . at ..tyhich they._were - to ire, waiting, for' hitli. was axed it, gfinteli4eile4 . - ; Was this, bag that Tim . been .'seen staggerin n T under, °and _which caused!;. the Unlucky beyte'lie aeatised7and — conviite4 .by his leacher. ss=s - .thief..' That telier was one little fitte4 , .for' , hit; important and responsible office. Hasty -to-decide and inflexibly severe, he was the terror of the little world he ruled so especially.-- Punishment' he seemed to , delight - in. - 'knowing little of those 'sweet _fountains Which in children's brieasti ever open quickly at the call of gentleness and kind words, he was feared by all for his stern ness, and loved by none. I would that lie were au isolated =instance in ,pro fession, " The hour of graie had 'drtrin to its anal the time. approached at •which it was usual for Lugare to giVe'his - School a joyfully received dismission, Now and then . one of the scholars would- direct- a furtive-, 'glance at Tim, sometimes in pity, sometimes in indifference :or inquiry: 77 They kneW that' he would have no mercy ;show.n himiand' though ,most of them" him,whipping lwas too common there to exact. much -sympathy„ Every enquir ing glance, •however,reatained Unsatisfied; for at the end of the hour Tien remained with his faCe completely hidden, and his 1160- bowed in hitfarrris, precisely as he had. leaned himself whenhofirst*ent to his seat.' . • Lugare looked .at the boy oc casionally with a scowl which'seeMed_ . to. bode vengeance for his :sullenness. At; length - the last class:had been .heard; and the last lesson reeited,.and Lugare seated himself behind his' desk on the 'platform; with, his longest and.stoutest ratan before him: 7it " •Now Baker °lie said, " we'll settle that little business of you Ts. Just step up here.", Tim did not move. The se:hool .room, was as still as- the grave. Not - a sound was to be heard; except occasionally a long drawn breath. "Mind me, sir ; or it willbe the worse for you. Step uphere, and take off your jacket !' • The boy did not stir any -More than if he had been made Of wood. Lngareshook with passion. • Ile,kat still a minute • as if considering the best way, to wreak ,his Nengeance. That minute.passed 'in - death like silence,.was fearful.one to some, .of the children,for their faces whitened-with fright. Itkeenied, as it slowly dropped - away,.like.the minutes which,precedes the climaxof an exquisitely-performed- trage-, ay; .when some..mighty master of the his - trionic ail is treading the stage, Goad you and-Theirmilltitade around you are waiting with stretched nerves., and suspended breath, in expectation of the , terrible, • ca tastroPhe/-., • " Tito ikasleep, sir," at length said one of the boys who.:sat near him. . _ Lugare, at this intelligence, allowed his ,features to relax from their expression of savage anger into a-smile, but, that smile looked more malignant, if possible, :than his former scowls. It might be, that- he felt !pleased at the horror depicted : on: the faces of those around him ; or it might be "that he was glowing With pleasure on the_ way in .which he intended - to wake the poor little slumberer. "Asleep ! are you, my • young gentle man ,!: let as see if. we can't . find some ; thing to tickle-your . eyes open. There's, . nothing - like malting the. best 'of bad case, boys. Tim,here,is determined not to be_ worried in his mind about a little_ flog ging for - the thought ofitlean't :even keep, the little sceundrel awake." • ;-Lagare smiled again as he: made the last observation. He-grasped his ratan firmly; and descended • from his s.eat.. 7 -- , . With light and - stealthy Steps; - he crossed the room, and Stood by the untuCky sleap-! er. The boy was still se unconscious of his impending...punishment as ever. He might-be dreamingsome golden dream of youth and pleasure 2• . perhaps he was far . aivay. 46 the world offancy, seeing scenes, and feelit.g. delights, which reality ..itever can 'bestow. Lugare lifted his. ratan, high Over his head, and with the true, and ex pert aim. -which he had acquired by long ,Tractice brought it down on Tim's. back ' with a force and Whacking sound - which ' seemed sufficient to awake a freezing man i~s.his last lethargy.
