on as a scorned memento of an ignorant,
cruel, and exploded doctrine. May pro
pitious galea, speed that day !
'Were you by Mr. Michol's garden

'Yes, sir, answered the boy: 'I was.'
'Well, sir, I'm glad to Gud you so ready
with your ?onfesinn
Aud so you thought
bbing, aud fjoy
you could do a little robbin

without being puuished, did you V
' I have not been robbing,' replied the
boy quickly. IIi face was sufTusod,
whether with reseutmont or fright, i t was
difficult to tell. 'And I didn't do any
thing last night, that Tin ashmed to own
No impudence !' exclaimed the teacher
passiouatcly, a he grasped a long and
heavy ratan : 'give mo none of your sharp
speeches, or I'll thrash you till you hep
like a dog.'
The young6lor's faro paled a little ; bis
lip quivered, but he did not fpcak.
'And pray, sir,' continued Lugarc, as
tbe outward signs of wrath disappeared
from bis features j 'what were you about
tho garden for 1 Perhaps you only re
ceived the pluude'r, and had an accom
plice to the ruoro daugcrous part of the
job?'
'I went that way because it is on my
road home, I was there again afterward
to meet an acquaintance ; and aud But
I did not go into the garden, nor take
anything away (rom it. I would not
steal.-hardly to save myself from starv-
ing.'
I 'You bad better havo stuck to that last
evening. You were soon, Tim Marker, to
' come from under Mr NiehoL's garden
fence, a little aftor nine o'clock, with a bag
full of eomething or other, over your

shoulders, the bag bad every appoaranco

of beuig filled with fruit, and this morning
the melon-beds are found have beep 56
completely cleared. Now sir, what was
there in the bag 7
Like fire itself glowed tbn face of the de
tected lad. Ho fpokc not a word. All
the school had their eyes directed at him.
The prcspirasion ran down his white fore
head like rain-drops.
'Speak, sir !' exclaimed. Lugarc, with
a loud stroke of his ratan on the desk.
The boy looked as though he would
faint. But tbe unmerciful teacher, confi
dent of having brought to light a criminal
and exulting in the idea of tho severe
chastisement ho should now bo justified in
inflicting, kept working himself up to a
still greater and greater degree of passion.
In the meantime, the child seemed hardly
to know what to do with himself. II is
tinguc cleaved to the roof of his mouth,
t itlicr ho was very much frightened, or
he was actually unwell.
'Spenk, I say !' again thundered Lug
arc; nnd his hand, grasping his ratan,
towered above his head in a very signifi
cant manner.
I hardly can, sir,' said the poor fellow
faintly. His voice was husky and thick
'I will tell vou sonic some other time.
Please to let me go to Itiy seat I ain't
well.'
'Oh yes, that's very likely ;' and Mr.

child crept trend 1 ng to his bench. II;
felt very stiangcly, dizzily more as if ho
was in a dream t an in r.al Iifo ; and lay
ing Iih arms on Hi duk, bowed down his
face between them. The pupils turned to
their accustomed studies, for during the
rcig i of I.udurc in the village school, they
had been so used to scenes of violence and
severe cha.-tisemciit, that such things made
but little interruption iu the tenor ol their

I qjj nI)(j Httl Tim w , ft 5 k,
' '
ciatcd infant who no one expected to live
many months To tbe surprise of all,
llowcvcri ,le poor ittc (-hild kept- alive,
j secin0(j l0 rccovcr ,;s health, as ho
certninly did his ttize and good look.
T j w5n to t.lo kincl offices of
an
eminent physician who had a country-scat
iii the neighborhood, and who had been
interested in the widow's little family. ,
Tim, tho physician said, might possibly .
outcrow hisdiae.-ise ;-but everything was'
uncertain. It was a mysterious and haf -
flinrr malady : and it would not bo won -
j Ucrfui if . BlouW in somc momont 0f ,,.
. parent health be suddenly taken away.
The poor widow was at first in a con
tinual ttate of uneasiness ; but several
years had now passed, and none of the
impending evils had fallen upon the boy's
head. His mother seemed confident that
ho would live, and bo a help and an honor
to old ago ; and the two struggled on to
gether, and enduring much of poverty and
discomfort without repining, each for the
other's sake.
Tim's pleasant disposition !ud made
him many friends iu the village, and
among the rest a farmer named Jones,
who with his eldest brother, worked a
large farm in the neighborhood on shares.
Jones very frequently made Tim a pres
ent of a bag of potatoes or corn, or some
garden vegetables, which he took from his
own stook ; but as bis partner was a par
simonious, hightcmpcrcd man and had of
ten said that Tim was an idle fellow, and
ought not to be helped because he did not
work, Jones goncrally mado his gifts in
such a manner that no one knew anything
about them, except himself and tho grate
ful kindness, It might bo too, that tho
widow was loath lo have it understood by
the neighbors th.it she received food from
any one ; for there ia often an excusable
prido iu people of her condition which
makes them shrink from boing considered
as objects of 'charity' 1.9 they would from
tbo severest pains. On the night in ques
tion, Tim had bocu told that Jones would
send (horn a bag of potatoes, and llio place
at which tboy were to bo wdittng for hitn
was fixed at Mr. Nichol's garden fence. I
It was this bag that, Tim had been seen
stagoring under, and which accuocd tho
nnliickv hoc to bo accused nnd convicted
by his teacher as a thcif. That teacher
was ono little fitted for his important and
rcsponaiblo office. Hasty to decide, and
and inflexibly ssverc. he was tho terror of
the little world he ruled so despotically, of ono of bis fingers touched the child's
Punishment ho seemed to delight iu. 1 check, each limb quivering like tho ton

quickly at the call of gentleness and kind j The boy was dead, lie had probably
words, lie was feared by all for ftcrncss, been so for some time, for his eyes were
and loved by none. I would that he were
an isolate in.-tuiicc iu his profession.
The hour of grace had drawn to its
close, and the time approached at which
it was usual for l.ugare to give his school
a joyfully received dismission. Now aud
then one of the scholars would direct a
furtive glance at. Tim, sometimes in pity,
sometimes in iiiiliflercnce or inquiry.
They knew that be would havo no mercy
shown him, and though most of them loved
him, whipping was too common there to
exact much sympathy. Every inquiring
glance, however, rr niainod unsatisfied, for
at the cud of the hour, Tim remained with
his face completely hidden, and his head
bowed in his arms, precisely as he had
leaned himself when he firtt went to his
scat. Lugarc looked at tbe boy occasion
ally with a scswl which smccmed to bode
vungeaucc for his sullenncss. At 'cngth
the last class had been beard, aud the last
lesson recited, and Lugarc seated himsalf

,onMl and stoutest ratan before him.
'Now, Darker,' be said, 'we'll sottlc thai
little business of yours. Just step up
here.'
Tim did not move. The sliool-room was
as still as the grave. Not a sound was to
be heard, except occasionally a long-drawn
breath.
Mima me, sir, or it will be tuo worex
for you. Step up here, and t:ikc off your
jacket !'
ilic hoy ili.l not Mir any more than it
he had been made of wood. Lugarc
shook with p.i.-sion. He sat still a minute,
as if considering the best way wreak his
vengeance. That minute, passed in death
like silence, was fearful ono to sonio of the
children, lor their faces whitened with
fright. It seemed, as it slowly dropped
away, like the minute which procedes the
climax of an exqui itely-performed tragedy
when some mighty master of the histrionic
...
art is trending tuc stage, nnu you and the
multitude around you are waitina with
stretched nerves aud suipeuded breath, in
expectation of the terrible catastrophe.
'Tim ii asleep, sir,' at length said one
of the boys who sat near him.
Lugarc, at this intelligence, allowed
his features to relax fr m their cxpresfion
nf orit'nrrn minor infn n cttuli. lint flu..1 until.-.
looked more malignant, if possible, than
his former scowls. H miwlik hi? tlmr lie
. was B-g in pleasure on the way in
which he intended to wake the poor little
slumhcrcr.

1,0JS- Tim, hero, is determined not to 1
case,
to be
worried in bis mind about a liitlo flogging,
for the thought of it can't even keep tho
little scoundrel awake.'
Lugarc smiled again as bo made the
last observation. Ho grasped his ratan
firmly, and descended from hti seat.
With lichl and stealthy stcp3 lie crossed
tbo room, and stood behind tho unlucky
sleeper. The boy was still a3 unconcious
of his impending punishment ns over.
He might be dreaming somc golden dream
of youth and pleasure; perhaps ho was
far away in the world of faucy, scoing
scenes and feeling duligbts, which cold re
ality never eau bestow. Lugarc liftod bis
ratan high over his head, and with truo and
expert aim which he had acquired by long
practice, brought it down ou Tim's back
with a force and wacking sound which
seemed sufficient to awake a freezing man
in his last lethargy. Quick aud fast, blow
followed blow,. Without waiting to see
tbo effect of the first cnt. tho brutal wroich
piled his instrument of torture first on one
side of tho boy's back, and then on the
other, and only stopped at the end ol two
or threo minutes from very weariness.
Dut otill Tim showed no sigus of motion ;
aud as lugarc, provskod at his Uopidity,
jorkcj away one of tho child's arms, on
which ho had been leaning over ou the
desk, his head oropped on tho board with
a dull sound, and, his laco turned up and
oxposcd to view. When Lugaro saw it,
ho stood like one taqusftxed. by u bnsilisk,
His coun.tcnauee turned to a leaden wbito
ncss ; the ratan dropped trnm bis grasp j
and his eyes, stretched wide open, glared
a at sonic monstrous spectacle of horror!
and death. The sweat started in great
nlobulcs seemingly from ovcry pore in '
his face ; bis skinny lips contracted, and j
showed his teeth , and when ho at length

Turkish Humanity. One littlo trait
of the Turkish character struck us as being
' ycry interesting. Just as we were quit
I Mnrr tbn fair fberc came un an old man
riding ou au ass who had passed through

part of the day. lie sccmofl exhausted
with heat aud fatigue, and drew up under
the branches of a tree which overshadow
ed the roadside well for rest and enjoy
ment. Deforo ho indulged himself with
one drop of tho cool aud Fprakling water
he threw himself on his knees and bent
his head to the earth, and we could bear
words of thankfulness escape his lips ; thon
before bo thought of himself he led his
ass to tbo stona trough, washed the crea
ture's mouth, and allowed him to drink as
was proper for him, and then satisfied bis
own wants. Tho Turks are of all nations
the most bumano to the brute creation,and
the action of this old man was but what
is common to all his class.

The pooplo of Still-Water, early in the

after bearing what a grand exhibition tbo

success, thought they would have ono that

Aecordiug, arrangements were made and
the time appointed, some five or six weeks
subsequent as they thought it very nccos

nounced that they were going to have a
Union exhibition, and considered thoso
who were not willing to participate with
tlicni, as secessionists. Dut as the Demo- J den to do. We fully believe in tbo follow

SPECTACLES.
Tlio Conscription Law.
The bill passed by tbo last Congress is
the first conscription law enacted under
our Constitution. Ono was rcoommend-
ed, though wholly difl'ercntin its features,
by tho Secretary ol War, in 1814, which
failed in a Congress composed of a" maj r
ity of bis political frionds, mainly upon
tho ground that it was unconstitutional,
aud a different law was enacted for filling prcd Douclas too, and Lovejoy, wero lie?
up the army, The first intellects of that cr very slow,

V ,n is oi gen-
oral approval. Thoso who wish tho few
to stand respected ought to rncouraco
rather than repress discussion. The" at
tempt to repress it will raise a now and
unnecessary issue, and ono which can bo
settled in but one way. Tho poop'o will
discuss all measures in their own way,
aud their ogents, now assuming to bo ru
lers, cannot prcvont it. The very effort
to provent discussion will do more to dc
feat tho bill and destroy tbo expectations
under it than teu thousand discussions.-
It will set tho fdao of the peoplo like flint
against the law, and render tbo conscripts

No person on earth can prevent the ar

tboy form tbe opinion that their friends at
home are deprived of tho privilege of just
as Irce discussion as occurred in tbo cam
,paign when Mr. Lincoln was elected,
' their sympathies n-ill be turned that way ;
! they wi'l lose respect for those whom tboy
j deem at fault, and demoralization will
urcly follow. If tho Administration and
1 its friends strive to prevent the most am-
pie discussion ol the questions raised, tboy
will defeat the object of tho bill, and red
dor it an instrument of mischief, instead
of one potent for good. Wo go with tho
Administration in favor of putting down
tho rebellion by all constitutional instru
mentalities, and restoring the Union, but
not in prohibiting freo speech and, broad
and thorough scrutiny of all acts. It
