A dismal little ligir that, at the window, in a flannel dressingown, with a large ban dage muffled about is throat, and a hohrse cough. All the mw lonely did the figure seem because of tli contrast between the stillness of the &acted school, and the recent II hurried tramp of n y feet, shouting of many voices, and merry aces of romping mates. Did ever such ill. k overtake a small boy before ? . But tb i something was always happening to Tom Why need it ve been him, of all the Pupils in Thor' Hill School, who went skating two day. efore the Christmas holi days and tumble through the thin ice into the Cold water, mu which chilly bath big Jerry fished T i out like a forlorn little drenched rat ? Why could Ittot have been big Jerry bun self who took t scold plunge, with his firm, rosy cheeks, thS, nothing could blanch, and his tough, strog frame, which seemed made of India rubber' That was tlovery worst of it ! ' Tom was alt.ys trying to keep up in the race with suclgturdy boys, and then he had n twinge of pai in some portion of his slender frame to pay 4 it. Everybody ,itd always tried to make him well and hard*, ever since he was a, tiny, weazeped-hall, and nobody had ever suc ceeded. lie had bed stared at solemnly by wise doctors, andMced to swallow much bitter medicine; 14ad never been allowed to eat any Ailing hat he wanted to cat, because such delicams were sure not to be good for him. liventhe great sea, rolling in, wave alter waveiln the shore, had only crushed and strangtd Tom, as he invariably shut his eyes titit and opened his mouth wide to receive themlt water, which was never in• tended to F taken as an internal remedy. Tom's prents were very much surprised at hint, arl Uncle John had an aggravating way of lacing, as if it was Tom's own fault, somehow At Instt was decided to send him to Thorpe hilt Schaal, where he could live in the fresh country ,ir; so the from little fellow was droppediverboard from the family ship to sink or swimor himself, without mamma's watch ful care. fie did pretty well, for there was really a surprising amount of pluck in his small bfly, considering that his head, or his teeth, o his right ear generally ached, that pebbleswere always tripping him up in run ning; Cat if there happened to be a stray ball flying about on the play ground, it always hit kin; Whn he first arrived at the school, he felt ratherlonely and queer, to he sure, but then he honed with pride at his new trunk, and felt litter. Nov all the other schoolmates bad gone holm, and the village doctor positively for bade Tom to step outside the door, for the resat of the skating was that the delicate lit tle 1.5 y was feverish, his head scented to be brutal up in an iron band, and his throat fillet with n large walnut. There was really no help for it, and mamma mind not be summoned and.rencli the school mill after Christmas day. 'inn's eyes grew dint with sudden, regretful teats, as he looked out upon the trees of the avame, stripped of leaves, :Mil listened to the drp of the rain. " It's not a bit like Christmas," grumbled tie little•man, and certainly it was enough to nuke hint cross. •' It can't even snow, as it nost always does. I wonder what the boys viii have. and if I shall get the new gun papa tromised." If any person had been there, he would have ;cell ashamed to have cried, but now he might tob dolefully without fear of being laughed at by some large boy. So the afternoon wore away, and the house keeper gave Tons a basin of gruel, which he flavored with tears, then 'crept away meekly to bed.

In the early morning the sun shot n bright ray into the window, ris if to wish Tom a merry Christmas, and then the littlo boy discovered that the outside world had turned gloriously white, delicate fringes clinging to every twig and bough, and feathery masses drooping . over the sloping eaves. Even the house of Mr. Sharpcton, seen in the distance through the trees, had assumed quite a joval aspect, although It usually looked dull and sad enough; with the cheerful snow resting on every ledge, and penetrating every nook, where small boys dared not to venture Mr. Sharpeton was a grim, stern, hot-tem• pered old man, Wilt) frightened every body away with a single wave of his cane, so that he led a lonely life enough, liked by, no one, and very possibly not liking himself even. All the boys knew that Mr. Sharpeton owned Thrope 11111, and rented the largo building for a school, which had once been his father's stately residence. Yes, Mr. Sharpeton was very fond of Money, and even the possession of shining gold did not seem to brighten his narrow, cramped life—so fond of money that lie kept from his own father's children their lawful share of the property, because Ito-paper I had over been made in the favor. That was the dark cloud resting on Mr. Sharpeton's house, and little Tom, looking across'the tree-tops In the pleasant Christmas sunshine, wondered - it the rusty old e t , •••• • . ,Istightiu TWO.

Puss was as black as the finest velvet, with great, eraerah4reen eyes, and Tom was very much pleased' with the com panionship, even of a dumb animal, especially when that animal was the Thorpe Hill cat, that was known to always iog about, minding her own business,while school was in session, and never permitted rude boys to take any liberties, such as pulling her tall, or sending her clattering down stairs with ,walrint shell slippers fitted upon her feet. Kitty now seemed disposed to make her self agreeable to our little pupil, and Tom, tucking her under his arm, went, down to breakfast, wearing quite a bright face. The principal and his wife had gone away tp spend Christmas, and no one but Mr Wilkihs was left. Mr. Wilkins, the assistant teacher, was a pale young man with spectacles, who asked for the bread and butter in the same precise manner that he addressed the algebra class, as if the words were snipped suddenly off with a pair of scissors. Tom noticed that Mr. Wilkins wore his best Sunday clothes, and a sky-bluenecktie, which meant that he would drive away with the Doc tor to .dine.on Christmas day. Mr. Wilkins talked to Tom all breakfaet time about the Doctor, just as If Tom didn't know that the blue cravat was worn for . Miss Mary's sake, the Doctor's pretty daughter. Presently the Doctor elute bustling in cheer fully, bringing a breath of fresh winter air with him, and said Tom wits better. "Musn't go out to•day," and he shook his head and his two double chins at the same time. " I should not wonder if we were able to go home day after to-morrofr, though, if we are good, and take our medicine regularly. Think of that my boy !" Toni laughed ; he was willing to drink up all the medicine, and cat the pills like sugar plums, if he might only go home so soon. When the doctor and Mr Wilkins drove off the young invalid got blue again. " It's all very well to talk when you can lark off any where," lie said, behind the good natured, jolly doctor's broad back, and then ho leaned out the window, as if to punish somebody by taking more cold. How Tom passed the long hours of the iuorning ; the games of backgammon he play ed in the principal's parlor, beating himself ; the number of books he crumbled over hasti ly ; the visits he paid to the housekeeper in search of raisins and kookies ; the pitched bat tles between rival armies of canes and umbrel lactic fought, with the cat commanding one division and Tom, himself, another; the rail way trains, with the cat for the only passen ger, while he was conductor ; and the odd looking horses he drew on the schoolroom blackboard, with crooked legs, Is none of our affair. The cat did not desert him, and if she had, it is highly probable we should have no story to tell. The housekeeper, good soul, made Lim a baby plum pudding for his dinner, just large enough for one boy, still. under the doctor's care, and a tiny mince pie: While the pudding lasted, and the cat tacted morsels daintily, it was good fun ; but after ward Tom got dreadfully weary. I don't know whether to go to bed, or have a run through the upper hall." Puss answered the question by springing past him, and scampering up stairs, waiting on the top stair, with arched back, for Tom tp follow. It seemed as if even kitty thought It time for a romp. Away rushed the eat, and away rushed Tout in eager pursuit, until, with a sudden whisk, puss disappeared. Where? Thrope Hill Ayes a quiant, rambling old place, with long 'corridors, and all manner of winding passages, arches, and little steps in unexpected places. The garret door was always locked, and the boys said there were ghosts kept there. It now swung half open, and kitty was playing hide.and.seek soinewhereupaloft. Of course Tom ran on also, and glanced curiously around the garret. The garret was wide and empty, with the sunlight shining faintly through a little dust• covered window, that only rendered the black shadows under the caves more obscure. What if a ghost Mr hobgoblin popped out suddenly ? or, worse still, if some robber or crazy man was hidden there ? Two trunks stood near the stairs, and behind a beam rested a broken spinning-wheel which once whirred merrily, and a queer screen with moth-eaten embroi 'dery. Out of the dusky nook peered the ,'cat, and soon the two were, enjoying a wild romp through the deserted place 'darting around corners, trpiping overrafters, until kitty push ed down some dark objectlwith a crfish. What was It? An old carved table resting on two legs: and in falling the back broke, and the drawer slid out. Toni was :frightened. Ile did not know who owned the table, and he had 'broken it, or at least the cat had, which amounted to the same thing. The drawer seemed to bold all sorts of things. Carrying it with him, forlic began to feel a little chilly, he'went down to the parlor fire. The little boy ate his supper in a terrible hurry, and returned to the parlor , where he had hidden the drawer under the sofa, old ivory picture of a stately „d pow . hair brushed up in ! l Nit'Prom's mamma wore ,dered drawer. This lady must great many years before Toni was born; perhaps she was 111r.Sharpeton's mother. Next he found a flat, tin box, with the key attached ; but when be opened the box, which might certainly have held a sparkling dia mond or emerald, like the fairy tales, he saw only a faded crumpled paper, and pushed it aside carelessly. Quite in the bottom of the drawer, among letters and withered flowers, was a pipe with a funny figure perched on the bowl, and a bag of tobacco. Tom's eyes sparkled. lie had often tried to be a man, smoking blis . of paper or wood; now he could use a real pipe. How splen did! • A. bright tire glowed In • the bowl, and a blue mist was puffed from the boy's lips bravely. light it tasted queerly, but if tall, grown gentlemen did it, why might not Tom, who was already nearly twelve years old? Something strange happened. Tom's head suddenly grew as light as a feather, and he was lifted front the floor on a cloud of tobacco smoke. Tho cloud floated with the same un dulating motion that a flag streams on the breeze, or like the rising and falling of a little boat rocking on the great waves of the sea. "Now we aro to take a ride," said the little man on the pipe bowl, making a droll grimace. " Where aro we going ?" asked Tom. "I wish we were steadier, and need not rock about so." "Swing, swing," cried the little imp gaily, cutting a caper over the pipe stem. "Tobacco *poke makes a famous cradle sometimes. Now look at my fireworks."

" Please stop, imp." Then all the withered flowers began to bloom with, fresh beauty, unfolding the vel- vet petals of crimson roses, and the snowy purity of lilies. "We were once like this, but wo have slept in the drawer for years," they sighed and rustled softly. Back fluttered the imp with a crowd of tiny mates. Each little figure seemed formed ofrainbow tints, and flew on butterfly wings, holding a cobweb band. "Bind him for learning to smoke," cried the imp, and the sprites wrapped the cobweb around Tom's head and mouth, so that he could not breathe. Tom struggled, gasped, and awoke! Mr. Wilkins was shaking Tom by the shoulder, and several persons stood in the doorway. Who were they? Tom rubbed his eyes, which still seemed full of smoke, and then discovered the smiling faces of papa, mamma, and Uncle John. Yes, they hid come to Tom on Chlistmas night, after all, by means of hard trading. They had found the young gentleman lying on the hearth rug with his head almost in the fire, grasping a half-smoked pipe, instead of sick in bed, as they had feared. While papa was telling Tom what the Christ mas presents were which awaited him at home, and mamma was asking a thousand questions about ids health, and what the doctor gave him, Mr. Wilkins was gathering up the scattered contents of the drawer, and had opened the tin box, with a very strange look on his face. "Where did you find this, Thomas?" .ho moMred. Totn jumped; he had intended to slip the drawer back without telling any body, and now he was fairly caught. " I found it in the table In the garret," he faltered. Soon papa and Uncle John, with the teacher, were studying the paper folded inside the box. "kis a will," said Mr. Wilkins That was what little Torn found, in playing with the cat on a lonely Christmas day. The table had always stood by the old father's bedside, although no person had ever discov— ered the secret drawer since his death,. until the top had broken in tumbling down, and in it was a paper written later than that made in favor of grasping, greedy Mr. Sharpeton, in which the poor grandchildren were remem bered, and 'fiiurpe Hill belonged to thorn.— Our Beltoolday Visitor. NEW STEEL PROCESSES. The Philadelphia correspondent of the Iron Age gives some interesting statements in re gard to new steel processes. He says :—"The excitement of the hour in metal circles is the question of cheap steel, and so much attention is being devoted to it that it will not be stir inising if 1871 produce the desideratum. Within the past week not less than four new processes have been presented to your cones. pondent, all meritorious, and some of which are highly promising. The first is a process by which the inventor claims to manufacture steel directly from the iron In the cupola, at a cost not exceeding four cents per lb. The specimens resented were worked under Mr own eye i o chisels, etc., cutting iron well, and showi a flue grain, but objectionable in being what is technically termed flry and apt to fly. This can be avoided and the metal made available by the use of the proper flux in working. Another and mordvaluable pro cess, consists in a process for steel facing iron it is claimed, at a total cost of thirty per cent. less than Bessemer can be produced. The in ventor, a gentleman of ability and experience, in the employ of the government for many years, claims to be able to steel face a rail to any desired thickness, and further, to stee the outside of any piece of finished work, suc as bolts, valve stem, &c., dm., leaving th ... toughness of the iron intact. This party h. now specimens preparing which will submitted shortly to public inspection. T , other specimens of low priced steel arc hero. us, one offered at four, and another at 81 cents, both fair tool steels, and both said to i conversions in the cupola alone frompig. T Codorus ore is also used wipi great success and indeed, it is said, bears out its promis fully. At all events, we learn autheritativel that the York County Iron and }Reel Co. I. new engaged on a contract for 1000 tone stee rails, at $OO per ton, and good authority say. that they can be made at $6O per ten, and (Worm stock is in consequent requ. Another queer steel wrinkle we hear of, is that a party here is engaged in steeling horse railroads, by giving the shoe a bath of this ore. Here is progress I The fact Is, that numerous deposits of spathic or Btaniferous ores exist in the country, which have ruined those who tried to make iron of them, furnish the base for the steel so much needed.
