THE PARTING,

There is a rang which frienderaust feelr
When donated to part
The gay "fawner cannot conceal
Their sief of heart.
Full oft a friendship--scarce known
In parting is confect, •
By prayers of •'ploasnre" fand7p bread:ea
By - those - who - love-us besi:
There is a smile—a freezing smile
----,We-often-view
Playing around the lips of thoee
Who bid "adieu."
But ah ! how it belies the heart /
}low chilling it appears,
When dancing round the eyes of friends,
And quivering 'mid their tears.
There is a tear—lull oft restrained,
•
By manly pride;
But which will down the conscious cheek
In secret glide.
And yet, how oft, when'hearts too full
In aught to find relief,
Those soothing team of sorrow fell,
And drown each new-born grief;
There is a bairn, a parting bliss,
That friends adore,
It is the hope in future years,
They'll meet once more.
It steals within the aching breast, •

Revives each wither'd thought there's,

from the world, the world knew but Ileac a.
boutler it knew that she was poor, and
that she wore garments patched and faded;
and that she did not court friendship ;—and,
furthermore, it supposed that she was not
worth noticing. Of the children,•Andy was

and Luey.was eight These three girls were
not strong. They had been born while their

Patterson did .nut send Sarah out to work—
why she did.not give the child away to some

widow found some work to do..but she was
not able to do much. 'The labor of support.

Andy. who worked xvillitigly and cheerfully
when he found work to do.

in that section before Mr. Patterson married
her, people never understood her.
One evening Andy came home with the
marks of tears *ion his cheeks. His moth
er saw that he had been weeping, and ,she
asked'what bad happened.
Al, it Was the same old story,—le had
been cut by sneers and insults.
"Mark Larrabee called me names, whieh

him no provocation—none at all. I was in

important letters from the seat of govern
ment. Of eoursethis caused a generaLlaugh
among the thougtless ones, and he strutted
as though he had done something smart.—
When he spoke to me again with another
taunt,kasked him to mind his own business;
and then he twitted me of being the chiT' o

Had it not been for the promise I had given
you, I think I should have maimed Mark

"Then," said• the widow, taking the hand
of her son, and pressing it her lips, "you
have reason to thank God that you were re
strained. It is betteras it is Andy. I know
itis hard; but--look there my sun."
"She pointed to a picture which hung a
gainst the wall. 'lt was an engraving, in a
black frame, and its story was this : Jesus
Christ, almost naked, with cruel thorns about
his brow, bending beneath the weight of a
pondrous cross, was scourged and hooted at
by an unfeeling crowd that followed ut his
heels.

the widow. "It is hard my son—very hard
but do not yet despair."
"I don't despair s " returned Andy; "though
I often wish that I might die."

with Mr. Phillip Brown, who owns the large
mills on the river. Larrabee got the chance
because he had friends, and because his folks
have money."
Mrs. Patterson spoke such words of eom
fort'and cheer as she could command, .and
alter a while her son became calm and reeiM
oiled ; •and then an hour was spent id 'study
ing. The widow was a good scholar, and
her poor children had learned far more from
her instruction than many children of the
same age had learned at .the common school.
When the spring opened. Andy got a
chance to work on a neighbor's farm at - twelve
dollars a month; and' there he remained till
the crops were harvested in autumn. Once
or twice during. the, summer Mark Larrabee
came home floor the city on a visit. He was
dressed very finely, and wore kid gloves, end
carried a cane, and smoked cigars, and drank
brandy-and-water at the hotel ; and when he
.met Andy Patterson he turned up his nose
as though he had encountered something
uncle in.
When the cold winter came again Andy
left the farn,e.►'s, and went home; but he
was not idle. He sawed wood in the village,
thus earning enough to support the needy
ones; and sometimes he felt able to purchase
little dainties for his mother and sisters.
Spring came again,,and'Andy was seven
teen years old. He was smell of his age, and
slight of his frame; but his health was good,
and his constitution strong. One evening,
in the_ early part of April, just after the sun
Rad gone down, and while the family in the
humble cot were eating supper, a cry for
help was heard from the road. Andy' ran
out and found that the stage had got stuck
in a mud hole, and that one of the wheels
had been broken. One . of the passengers
wins iu a great hurry to reach the village, as
he intended' to take a private team and fide
over to the woolen mills that evening. lie

"Here is Andy," said the driver,

"Do it," said the driycr, "and I'll pay
you."
"I guess there won't be muds to pay sir."
And thus speakinn• Andy rip off, and soon
returned with his ° barrow upon which the
trunk was fixed by its owner.
The gentleman who owned the trunk, and
who walked by Andy's side as he trudged,
on ,with his load, was a kindly s looking,
dle•aged man, whose ruling characteristic
seemed to be—good sense. • Ile entered in
to conversation with the youth, and was not
long in finding out how matters stood with
him. And then he conversed upon general
topicA, such as might come within the crops
of the, boy's unuerstanding.
"But,' said the wan, as they stopped 'a
moment to rest, "do you tell nee that you
have never attended school"
"Not since my father died.

"Ah, air;-1 have a goad, kind mother—

the face of the boy was turned that way, it
was easy to Bee the bright tear•drop that roll

row once more, and tugged on,and at length

When the trunk had been taken off, the gen

.to Andy a bank note.:

"What is it, my son?"
"A dollar; mother. See."
The widow took the bank note, and as she
examined it by the light of the candle, eke
uttered in exclamation of surprise'. •
•What did you, say it was, Andy ?"
"A dollar."
"There must be some mistake. it is a
ten dollar note."
"The gentleman told me he gave me a dol.

it was very . simple. The upper sight-hand

• Andy had some few chores to do, - and
when they were done he went to the village r
but the gentleman was , not at the tavern.—
The old stage-driver was there, however, and
to him Andy told his story.
"Why didn't you keep it, Andy ? You
are poor, and that man is rich."

rather birrow in the ground, with hares and

John Aldtrt. I may be poor, but God knows
that lam not a villain. You will see the
man. Give him this, and toll him if Ise,,has
a mind to send me a dollar he may do so. If
Ido not misjudge him; I think he would
rather send me the dollar than not."

As Aady Patterson left the tavern he met
Mark Larrabee. upon the side walk, but Mark
did not look as he had looked a few months
before. His clothes were not so spruce, and
his head was not carried so high. •
Andy stopped in at th'e post-office, where
he beard two men talking,
"Mark Larrabec has lost his place. I
bear," said one.
"Yes,"-replied the other. %"H into

"Why didn't they prosecute him ?"
"His father fixed it up by paying the
money."
"Well, his father may save him this time
but I don't believe they eau snake an honest
man of him."
As Andy walked home., wodered how
a boy could do„ such a thing se steal money.
He wandered at it very mochas the healthy,
normal man wonders at the infatuation of the
suicide.
On the following day, towards the mid
dle of the forenoon, while Audy was at work
in , the shed, his mother came• in and inform.
ed him that a gentleman wiebed to see
k tn.
Our hero went into the horse, where he
found the man for whom he had wheeled the
trunk on the previous evening.
"My boy," the man said, in. an offhanded
easy manner, "the stage driver gave me the
bank-note you handed him,.
and I have been
thinking„... while walking down here, that
some kind spirit must have'torn the corner
of that bill off for our especial benefit. I su.p.
posed it,was a one dollar bill when I gaveit
to yon ; and I certainly should never have
known to. the contrary if you had not re
turned it flowerer, it has led to a little
prospect of business, From what I saw of
you last evening, and from what John Al

bank-note affair, I am inelinectto the opinion
that I want yoU , to - help me, My name is

into.my employ, but he did riot suit we."
Andy looked down at his poor clotbea.
"you shall have garmeots suitable to the
change. Will you go?"
Andy looked around upon his mother.
"Yes, my son," she said. "The man who
seeks for honest merit as this man has sought
for it, recognizing the jewel even in this low
ly station,, must himself be 'honest and up- .
right, and with such I ioyfttlly. trust you. '
And Andy Patterson went with 'the mer.
chant whom he served se faithfully and well,
that at the end of a year, he was placed in a
.position of great responsibility, and his wa
ges were ilia', aimi to such a sum that he
was able to place his mother and,sisters in
a better home
But Andy's preferment was not particu
larly out of friendship to himself He rose
upon-his own sterling merits—rose to be a
partner with Phtlip Brown—rose to be a
merchant upon his own eapital—rose to fill
posts of honor and trust for his country.—

pleasant words.. On the, other hand, by
sour looks, cross words and 'a fretful
position, you can - make hundreds unhappy
almost beyond endurance. Which. will you.

rest, at morning when you rise; and u ;It
when about your dally business.
