FIRST EXPERIEJTCE OF A DEBT. by inches. - Never did f fed prouder -or richer than when mv father said “ Habßy, that calfis yours; I’li giVe you Bossy' f she- shall ; bo ytrtirs.” He was standing whittling in' the old barn-door, white’ I, his' oldest 'son, Was marking with delighted interest Bossy’s frisky movemefits : tH the yard j how-she wriold snuff in the street morning air, then whisk her tail and caper around; if'not frith- ail the grace, ■with far more gfadsOmeness and naturalness 'than «' ballet-queen. Bossy seemed to think il'a very pleasant thing to live. Mbch as I oVed'lhdCrea til ro_ be fo re, I was'seized frith o fresh puff of love at «ny fathers generous announdejnsm. h .,j. 11 Nepl'U cried.,‘i Nep,that;ds «y calf! see to it, sir, that-you treat her like a gentle roan, and not bark at her 01 bite at her when you fetch the cows from past tire.” Neptune looked up, wagged his tail, and glanced nt Bossy, os much as to say, “ Yes, ■yes, I understand the matter.'.’ To my broth ers-and sisters—and there- were five younger than myself—l was not long in - communica ting the important intelligence that “Bossy was my calf: .-father said so.” “ Mother,” said 1, “ Ibok out the window and see this calf; well she is mine, Bossy is mine,’ father said so.” She thought it was a nice little calf, and as she was churning, she offered lo do my churning for me, when Bossy's age should requite such services. “ You shall, oid'hor!” I .shouted with a glad laugh at (he thought of it, “ and though It will be my butler, you shall have it all,” and I am sure the words “ tnv" and “ mine” had a significance unknown before. Beside Bossy, we hid thu old cow, Bossy’s molher, “ Star," a iwo-voars old heifer, a yoke of oxen, a few sheep and plenty of fowls; these, with six children, made quite a family to be stabled and fed by our little funk, among the Vermont -hills. i did not go to ac-fino 1 that summer, for the boy’s services were needed in the fields,—ah, these glorious fields and hill-Sidep,, and ma ple groves, and fire briers tail and high, what do many boys imprisoned in the city know of the light, and lioerty, and liihsome nesa of God’s free sunshine among the hills. They seldom pass their brick wall-bounds. “ To range the fields and treat their lungs with air;’’ and yet rhe “ country wins-me ever,” not only as the heritage of my early memories, but the hoped-for retreat of life’s declining days, “ I never (fame a wish or form a plan, That flattered me with hope of earthly bliss, But there 1 laid the scene.” I'think I worked with a new alacrity now that 1 owned Bosiy ; I felt like a man with mote than a life interest in the world, for when the farmers grouped together and talked about their stock,l always wanted to add a few words about my calf. . “ Mother,” 1 said, one plehsant twilight as she came and sal in the door, while I threw myself on the turf u mother, I want just one thing to make me just ap happy as can be,” 1 11 And that ip, 1 hope,” said she, with one ot her sweet serious smiles, “ to be a good boy like Joseph and little Samuel; then lam sure you will be a happy child.” I blushed and rolled over in the grass, for certainly nothing was then farther away from my thoughts than Joseph or little Sam uel. “No .mother,” I answered at length,— half ashamed to own what it was, after this expression of her maternal hope,—“ not ex actly that, though I do wont to be a good boy and nobody can say I don’t, but now I was thinking of something else j oh, mother mustering up my courage, “ I want a pail! a little tin pail 1 mine /’’ squatting on my bare toes before her and looking earnestly into her face. “ And where is it to come from, Har. ryT” she asked.- Alas, it was a question more easily asked than answered, ■ “ The peddlers I” I roared triumphantly, supposing I had gotten over the mount of dif ficulty ; “ the pedlers 1 the next lime one come’a won’t you buy me a, tin pail —my pail /—to milk my 'calf in !”• “ Harry forgets how little we have to buy with,” said my mother. But, mother, you knO* ‘Bossy vyill'give milk soon, and she must have a pail, and then I can milk, and it will help you so, mother.” How weighty my arguments might hove seemed had she had the wherewithal for the ipUrchase', I have no means of knowing Vas it wa», she pitted me "on the 1 head saying, ■“ by-and-hy, Horry will be able to ’ buy' one Ihimself, and that will hetp’moiher.”' •" f leaped ngy head on her" lap -with ‘‘ft re* bigned and-loving ■ heart, for nothing- ever conquered my vagrant or rebellious wishes like the friendly palling of my mother’e hand Upon my head.
