TIMBER-SHOES. BY 3. N. DICKIE. One bright morning in early summer fas riding leisurely along an excellent turn- piko in the western part oi Pennsylvania, having for my desnintion the enterprising town ot htcuoenviiie. liovoiving in my mind the probable success or ncn-succet.3 of my errand at that place, I had become nncenscious of surrounding objects untilj suddenly recalled by a youthful voice, which said : 'Please, mister, can I ride ?' I glanced downward, and saw a well- dressed, roguish-faced lad of perhaps four teen years, whose dark eyes looked appeal- ingly in mine, plainiy asking thesams iavor already uttered by his tongue. My horse had come to a sudden halt, sni turning his head as far round an the check-rein would allow, seemed ready to take note of any lack of courtesy on my part. Under these circumstances I give a ready affirmative; the lad sprang in, and my pony, giving a gratified whisk of his tail, trotted off iu a manner quite surpri sing. It is generally expected that young peo ple wait to be addressed by their cldo r, es pecially when recipients of favors at their hands ; but this young gentleman seemed totally unconscious of this fact, for he had not beeu seated a minute befure he asked the following questions : I'm going to Stcubenville ; aro you?' 'Ves, sir.' (This is a nice, easy-riding buggy to go there in, isn't it?' 'It seems so,' 'I sw vou when I was coming down ''cross lots,' and you'd better believe I hur ried up so" as to strike tho pike in time to meet you.' 'Indeed!' 'There is a scsret about my going to town There ain't but just a very few of us know anything about it not even my father aud mother.' 'Ah !' 'There is something to come of it, too.' Is, hey ?' Just at this moment we passed a lad go ing in the opposite direction. His face the pure, broad German shone with good health and good humor, although his hat) coat and pants were a mass ot patches ; and, as if to complete his rough attire, his feet were clad in clumsy wooden brogans, often worn by people o! his nationality, uncouth in appearance to & stranger. Tho demeanor of my young acquaintance underwent a sudden change at sight of this German boy. Standing up as he passed, he took off his cap, and making a bow, exclaim ed, iu a very gentle, respectful voice : 'Good morning, dear old Timber-shoes.' 'Goot mornin', lleter, goot mornin' ;' and luiile as ''ermine ns the words lit up the Gcrmau's honest features, as wc drove rap idly past. That's the best boy in the world 1' said my companion, as tie seated uimselt and looked frankly iu my face. 'Tlien whut iu the name oi'commcn-sense could have induced you to insult hi in by using such a an outlandish name as Tiniber- bhocs ?' L asked,, somewhat indignantly, 'We do that because he wants us to, sir. He saved my life and another man's boy's, mean a little while ago. I could tell you a story about him such a good story, too.' 'Well, let me hear it,' said I, taking care to prevent any particular interest assorting itself either in look or tono. 'Well, sir, my name's Peter Coodoli. I attended the academy at L . It's vaca tion now. My parents live about four miles from here. Timber-shoes lives over yon der;' (and he poiuted to a log building a short distance from tho road.) 'Ho hasn't lived here but a year. His father is dead and his mother is nearly gone with a cancer. Thci ara five children besides himself, pretty young and not ablo to work muth. He supports the whole family by hard work, and does it well, too, they say. I went to district school last winter, and so did ever so many of the boys that are go ing to tho academy now. Timber-shoes, he came, too. That was the first time I ever saw him. He had on a good suit ot blue jeans, but ho wore woodeu shoes. . 'AYhen he first came, Paul Tlummctt (he's my room-mate now,) asked him if he could inform him in a general way how they prepared shoe leather from logs. We ought not to have laughed at this, because it was making fun of Timber-shoes and hurt his feelings. We knew well enough, though he never told us, that he didn't feel ablo to spend his money for bcots, when his folks waiited every cent he could earn to live with. We knew 'this, of course, but still we laughed, like everything. 'Then some one called him 'Timber-shoes, and they all said it pretty loud, and so did I.' I 'That's right, my lad, that's- the way to do it,' I interrupted, quito warmly. 'Never seek to coiccal your own share in a bad ac tion. You certaiuly actei meanly, but it is true nobleness to acknowledge a wrong.' He smiled and proceeded, talking very rapidly. 'Well, sir, ho looked sad, very sad, when they called him Timber-shoes J because it wasn't so much what we said, as the way we said it. IIo didn't say anything, though, but just minded his own business. We didn't, and that's how wo came to know more, about him. 'There were a good many tricks played on him which I haven't time to tell, for we're almost to town; but theio was one and it was tho last one and that I must tell. 'AYc used to epealr pieces every Friday afternoon. All of us had to say something, if it was only five words. 'One afternoon, when wc were going to have speaking, Paul PHtnmett ho wasn't so bad a boy, either came to school with something square tiod up in a newspaper. He wouldu't tell us what it was, but we soon found out. 'When Timber-shoes' turn came to speak, he walked out toward the master's desk nnd what do you thiuk? there, hanging to his coat-taii, waa a piece of paste-board, with this printed on it in big letters : " 'TIMBER-SHOES, THE ELOCUTIONIST, xow S't jrAKETTI.' 'Some of the boys laughed, but tho most of us couldn't some way. As soon as the master saw the pasteboard, he took it off and sent the poor fellow back to his seat He then tried to find out who did it, but no ono knew anything about it. Then Timber-shoes got up aud said t I knows who did dat. It was Haul Rlunmctt. I lets him -ro on so to see which comes out pest at the tnd, him or me.' 'I tell you we laughed heartily at this Tho master laughed till tho tears rolled down his checks. Everybody laughed at Paul He looked redder in the face than I ever saw him. When we Jiad got tlirugh, the teacher made Paul stand with his face to the blauboard,and hitching tho card on his coat collar behind, made him Stand there' all tho afternoon. bo this was tee last joke played on Tiaiber-shees ; because the last part of this story would have stopped it if nothing elso would. 'Three weeks a go a lot of us boys were down at Wallernook Gulley fishing. Tho stream is very narrow, but at that place wondeful deep six feet just off tho bank, and ever so much deeper iu tho middle so deep, they say that the bottom has never been found: but I cucss that isn't so: Paul Plummet moved wo go in-swim ming. jo ono elso dared to. and. so he went in alone. IIo hadn't been in over a minute before he took a crampj aud could hardly keep himself above water. 'I didn't stop to think any thing of any consequence, and so instantly jumped in after him. I'm a good swim mer, but Paul grasped me uud pulled me under with him. I tried to get away and save myself, but he wouldn't let go; so I begon to drown pretty fast. too. Tho boys on the bank were running heie and there crying for help, and two or three had startd for home, a mile away. 'Just then, up come Timber-shoes. He couldn't swim a stroke, yet he was the one to save us, sir. The beys say he acted for all the world like a General. , There was a slender hickory grew ou the edge of the bank, and quick as lightniug he sprang up that tree; aud as he ueurcd tho top aud it began to bend beneath his weight, he or dered every one to run to the nearest feuce and bring rails lots of them.. 'The tree kept bending-aud bending un til he was hanging right over us. The first grab he made he caught me, and as I was not very far gone, I got hold of the limbs of the tre9 aud kept my head above Water. 'Timber-shoes let himself down in the water, holding on to the tree, and soon had Paul by the hair of the head. Paul was as limp as a rag, and didn't know anything, but. - 'By this time tho loys had rot some rails and Timber-shoes told them how to make a raft ; and as we were riot more than two rods from shore, tho raft nearly reached us before it waa made, and we were soon on land once more. Timber-shoes went homo with me, as I was pretty weak, and the rest carried Paul Plummett to his home. He showed signs of coming to before they got tncre, and in a day or two was quito well again. 'Two weeks ago every one of us boys went down to see Timber-shoes. Paul be gan to ask forgivness for tho bad ho had done to him, and then choked so ho could not get any further; and I,well I, din't say anything much. I' told him I'd been very ugly to him, and he'd always been kind to m?, and at last saved my life. 'I had just began to tell him something else when I burst out crying tho first tiaio I've cried for never so Ions. Then tho rest of the boys all crowded round him and begged his pardon, and shook handa and laughed, beenuse, you see, they hadu' been pretty near drowned, like Paul and I. 'Well, when wo we'd got through, Tim ber-shoes, who acted as if he wasu't at home, but in some strange place, said ho wanted us to grant him one favor. " 'Certainly, Johny, certainly,' wo all cried. " 'I wirt dad you call me Tiaibcr-shoef; always-' "'Why, Johny V ' 'I'ccause dat which has p'.n de truth in had fun, may be true in gootfaa.' " Wasntlio caileu limbcr-shocs pretty often that nbht ?' les, indeed but some way it didn't sound liko a nickname at all. Just before we left, I told him my father intended to rent him one of his farms, with a good house and barn on it, for a very small sum. And then Paul camo forward and said his father was going to stock it for him and let him have all the increase for three years, to all of which Timber-shoes shook his head and said : 'I takes land fair, I takes stock fair, I takes sliust whut I can earn by hard works.' 'And, sir, I am afraid ho won't take a cent more than heearns as a common reuier. But I know ho will be better off now than he was before. Now my story is done and we aro in sight of the river.' We were near tho river most certainly, but I wa3 very much pleased with the hero of tho story, and ulso with the oue that told it. I saw in him the making of a noble man, and I rather think my looks showed t. 'Now tell me,' I said, 'tho causo of this secret errand to Stubcnville. Perhaps I may be able to assist you a little,' 'Can you ? Then I'll tell you. You see us boys met last night and threw iu our pockct-moncy to get some things for limber-Shoes' mother and children. He'll be willing to let thorn have them, though he wouldn't take them himself. I'm treasurer. They put me in, and there was enly ono vote against mo. His name's Timmy Link. He has a spite against me because I wouldn't lend him my tkates last winter. I've got 818. 10 to spend. If I had enough to make it a round 20, it would be nice, wouldu't it ? We want to get a shawl or two, some calico, a pair of shoes, and ever so many things lhat'J amount to over 820 I'm afraid.' 'Suppose I should give you Soj what then ?' 1 asked, with a smile. . 'Oh, I guess I would take it, sir, and much obliged.' Well here we aro at the river. We'll go across, aud us I am well accquaiuted with tho men you want to deal with, I thiuk we can drive a good bargain.' We succeeded to his great satisfaction : and I dou't beliovo I ever grasped the hand of a lad of fourteen as I did his when I bade him good-by and a satisfactory termination to his benevolent enterprise. I hank you, sir,' he answered, us he tottered off with a pack largo enough for u Jew peddler; 'thank you. I only wish you were going back to-night, so that I could ride, then things would end un tho jolliest kiud.' Youth's Companion.

Horrible Contest A Drinking Duel. A fatal drinking match came off in Williamsburg, a few days ago, which has not yet been mado public. It appears ' there was a dispute between an old French physician and the proprietor of one of tho largest breweries in tho place, as to which, of the two could drink tho mo?t liquor and carry it oIT. They decided to tast tho ques by a trial, said to be a match at drinking liquors at a convenient saloon, the party giving up the trial first to be considered a second class drinker, and pay for a grand supper. Both parties to thi3 novel and disgusting contest were largo men, tho physician being able to turn the scales at 220 pounds, while the brewer was perfectly mammoth in proportions a perfect Gam briuus weighing fully 250 pounds. A large crowd of professional and amateur drinkists were on hend when the match commenced, and tho bets were freely ta ken in favor of the brewer, the German. element predominating. The first instal ment of lour bottles of what was labelled "Bouibon Whisky" were disposed of, each ' man drinking the Eame as his epponent, and at tho same time. The whisky gave re newed vitality, apparently, for they laugh ed and talked right merrily, albeit they began to give evidence of having cultiva ted a crop ot fur oa their tongues. Still they urauk about once every five minutes, aud drank deeper. They changed their tipple to a clarat, as a tonic, and here tho Frenchman seemed to bo more at home. It did not suit tho German so well, how ever, and it was soon changed to sherry, after three bottles hod been gulped down by each. The bherry was only pa'ntable while two bottles lasted one each. Their eyes began to show that rieculiar- ly glassy s'.aroscen only in those upon whom the effects ot liquor have trained as cendancy, but their strong physicuo en abled them to keep their seats, and their hands showed very litth shakincss. They called for brandy, of which they partook a uttio moro sparingly .than of tho other liquors, seemingly aware that, while they naa no lear ot the previous draughts in which they had been indulging, there was "death h the bowl" that contained this poison. The Carman reached out cautiously to' tho bottlo to replenish his glass. Tho Frenchman endearored to follow suit. The effort on the part of tho latter was futile he could not move his arm ; he endeavored to reach out his other hand, but it fell off the arm of the chair and Lung powerless. He straightened back in his chair slowly, his body made a convulsive movement, his face became horribly distorted, hia eyes . 1 r eemeu as n they would Cy out of their sockets, his tongue rolled out of his mouth. n .... ' lew gasns, his body trembled all over liko shaken leaf he was dead ! While his funeral was on its way to-- tho cemetery, the German also died, tho Cor oner signing ceitificatea ascribing death in both instances to heart dissase. York iumhy Dispatch. Anecdote. When the First Rhode Is land Battery went to Washington, a pair of French horses which had worked together were sent with it. Owing to difference of color they wcro separated and rematched. But after the change one of them refused to eat, and pined away, so as to be unser viceable, and to all appearances seemed sick uulo death. A member of tho battery, fam iliar with their history aud with horses, ex pressed the opinion that tho separation from uis mate was the cause of his sickness, and at his suggeston he was returned to his old place. With evident pleasure at the change, he began immediately to improve in health, grew fat and well as happy, and faithfully with his loved mate, did his duty at tho battle oi Bull Run.
