the more he became perplexed and bo

The . truthas, his father did not nr
deistanclhim"::
Samuel was. bright boy, and uncom
inonly Intelligent for one of, his age.—
Mr. Winthrop was a.Ahorough mathe
maiden ;" hd hardly 'ever- came across
a problem he could not. solve, and he
desired that his •boys' r shotik be like
himl, be considered• that the acme of
ed ucatturi,ll perfection lay in the PcTer
a-conquering-F.4101d ; and heofteu
presSed 'his opinion that; . wote"Euelid•

ometricitin'a; bard tussle., He seemed
not, to comprehend-that different minds
were made, -with different capacities,
and wind ono mind gijasPed with ease,
another-of equail power would fail to
comprehend. Hence, beeause Jerry
progressed rapidly in his mathematical
studit4!, and could already survey a
piece of land of many angles, he ima
-4010 that its Samuel made no - progress
in the same branch, he was idle and
careless, and so, treated :him according
ly. He never candidly conversed with
his younger son, with a view to ascer
tain the true bent of .bis mind ; but he
had his own standard of the power of
all minds, and 'he pertinaciously ad
hered to it. •.1 -
There w another thing that Mr.
Winthrep could not see, and that was
that Samuel was continually pondering
upon such profitable matter as was in
terestfrig to him, and that he was sel
dom ever idle; nor did - his father see,
either,, that if he ever wished his boy
to become a -mathematician, he was
pursuing,. the very course to prevent

Poor Samuel left the kitchen for his
own roinn,and,there he sat and 'cried.
At length his mind seemed to pass f om
the wiling he had suffered itt the and
of his'father l .and his face lightene tip..
There Was a, large fire.in the roo be
lowhis chamber,, so that he wa not

very col and, getting up, le we t to
a closet,,and from beneath a lot of old
clothes he took forth , some long strips
of wood..,He was evidently fashioning
some curious affair from these:Pleas of
weed . . He bad bits of wire, little scraps
1
of tin ilate, pieces of twine, and dozens
of sma 1 wheels that he had made him
self; a d lie seemed to be working to
get vir
thei h ole tegether after some par

Cellist-fashion cd. his own.
Halt the'afternoon had thus passed
.
a ray, whenhis sister entered his
,oliam
b r. Ohe lied herj apron gathered UP
S i
t
i'n her hand, and of or closing the door
softly, ehind her, he approached the
spotw ere her blot er sat. ,
'lle e, Sammy,
.r, I have brought
you so ething to eat. I know you must
be hungry.' 1 1
As she spoked she opened her apron
and took out four cakes, a piece of pie,
and.some •chaese: The "boy was hun
gry,,and;hesitated not to avail himself
of his sister's kind offer. He kissedlier
as 11e took the cakes, and thanked her.
' cohwhat pretty thing is that you
are
making?' uttered Fanny, as she
gazed Upon her brother's labor. ' Won't
you give it to me after it is done?'
El
‘Nop this one,•sister,' returned the
boy,
.With a but I will make
you one equally as pretty.'
Fv.4y thanked her brother, and soon
left the room, while the boy went on
with his work.
Before long, .the various• materials
that had been subject to Samuel's knife
and pincers' were joined and grooved
'together in a curious manner.
, Th`e'embryo philosopher set the ma
it'‘‘looked• like - a machine—
upon the floor, then gazed on it Intent
ly, his eye gleamed with a - pectdiar
glow .ofsatisfaction . ; he looked
and happy. While he stood and gazed

'ution the child of his labors, the door
()lipped and his fattier entered.

eltilnictd ill . : Winthrop, as ho noticed
the b' r i Y standing in tho middle of the
floor.
Samuel trembled when he heard his
father's voice,. and turned pale, with
fear.
' Ha! what is this?' said hiS father,
.
as he caught sight of the curious con
struction on the floor. "This is the se
cret of your idleness. .Now I see how
it is you cannot master your studies.—
You spend your time in making them
fly cages. I'll see whether you'll learn
to attend to your lesson or not. There!'
As the father uttered this harsh ejac
ulatidn,`he put his foot upon the object
of his displeasure.. The boy uttered al
qui . ,9licry, and, sprang forward
,but tool
late ; ; {lice" curious` , epstruetlon Vas'
crushed atoms-the labor of many
long weeks. Covering his face with his
handS, he burst into tears.
Ain't you ashamed?' said Air. Win=
throp. A great boy like you, to spend
your time in making clap-traps, and
then cry about it because I choose that
you should attend to your studies !
No*: go to tho barn and help Jerry
with;the corn.'
The boy was too full of grief to make
any explanation, and without a word
he left the chamber; but for long days
afterwards he was weary and down
hearted.

' Samuel,' said Mr. Winthrop, one
day after the spring had opened, I
have, seen Mr. Young, and he is willing
to take you as an apprentice. Jerry
and,i can getalong on the farm, and I
think the best thing you can do is to
learn the blacksmith's , trade. I have
given up all hopbs of ever making a
euiveyor out of you, and if you had a
(mini you would not know how to mea
sure* or lay it out. Jerry will now
'soon' be able to take my place as sur
f

Mir, Young was ,a, blacksmith in a
neighboring town, and, he carried on
quite an extensive business,,' Moreover,
he had the reputation of being a very
finelman. Samuel was delighted with
his father's proposal, and when he also
learned that Mr. Young_ carried on a
large afachinoshop, he was in estades.
His,trunk was packed—a good supply
ofclothes having, been provid d; and

wish, and went into his business with
tatissiduity that surprised his master.
Iltio eVening, after Samuel Winthrop
• 110 been with his new master about .
six ynonths, the_ latter came into the
shoji after all the journeymen had quit
!
ted • work and gone home, and found
the yOnth busily ;engaged, iii fitting ,ft
14ce of iron. There were q tiite a num
br of pieces on the bench by his side;
and
some were curiously riveted toge
ter, and fixed with springs and slides, l
w ite others appeared not yet ready for
El
\ thrir destined use. 'Mr. Young ascer
tained what the young Workman was
..,.
up to, and he not only encouraged him
in hi\pridertaki»gs, but he stood for
half an'hour and watched him at
_his
work. Next day Samuel Winthrop
was removedlrom the blacksmith shop
to the machine`shop.

a little surprised when \ - 111r. Young in

two years, and was one of the most ;lc

hisleldest son with pride, and often ex
pressed a wish that his other son could
have been like him. Soon, Samuel
came home to visit his parents, and
Mr. Young came with him. -•- 3 ,'

after the - tea things had been cleared

Teach Girls to Do Housework.
many mothers, often thesis - who are

themselves excel, are backward 41)00
doing so because, of their very thoro!.;
nese, i and their dislike of seeing the
work awkwardly performed. "I pre
'fer doing it myself, for then it is done
right," says one short sighted mother.
"1 haVe no knack of instruction,says
a second, who is averse to teaching her
child those things which had been pa
tiently taught her by her own mother.
Let the girls perform light tasks; the
younger they commence, the easier

natural liking exists, thOfaculty should
be more carefully stimulated. It is a
matter of-vital importance to the hap•

The best of se wants, knowing their

to become careless.. But to the scores
of girls who every year marry,, expect

In some families the daughters take

despatch to the Queen, his wife, which
briefly but eloquently depicts a 'great

in this gift to a broken man. "Where
