Her cloak is out of calico and her shoes are brogans—such as wen and boys wear." "Oh yes, I've seen her," said Lucy Brooks, "she's the 'new washerwoman's daughter.— I shouldn't have though/ Mr. Brown would have taken her into the Academy; but I sup , pose he -likes the money that comes through suds as well as any." "It is cleaner of course." And the air rang with girls' laughter. "Let us go in arid examine her," continu ed Mary. as they ascended •the schoolhouse steps. "I'm thinking she will make fun for uscr ; le iris went into the new dressing-room, where they found the new scholar. She was a mild, intelligent looking child—but poorly, though 'tidily clad. The girls went around whispering and , laughing with each other, while she stood trembling in one cornet: of the room, without venturing even to raise lier eyes from the floor. When she entered the school they found the little girl far in advance of those of her age in her studies-- as she was 'placed in classes with those of two or-three years her senior. This r seetned. on the whole, to make those g irls who were dis posed to treat her unkindly, dislike her the luore::..and she being of a retiring disposition, had tio friends, but was compelled to giyand return 'from school alone. "And do you- really think?: said Mary Lark, as she wont up to the little girl a fe __weeks-after-she-entere - d - s - ehoo , "t at you are ageing .to get the medal'] It will correspond nicely' with your cloak!" And she caught hold of the cape, and hold 'it out from .her, when the girls joined-in her loud - laugh "Calico cloak get time medal! I guess she will!

"Lizzie, my dear," said the, mother, "you must expect to meet with. those who will treat you unkindly on account of your pov= erty, but you ninet not be discouraged.. Do right, and you will eventually come off con queror." Although Mrs. Lee tried to encourage her child, yet she knew that she had to meet with severe trials for one so young. Buti-motheri -- they are all unkind — to me. There isn't one that loves me." The child buried her face in her hands, and sobbed aloud: In the Brideville Academy there were a few unprincipled girls; and the others join ed them in teasing the little "'Calico Cloak," as they called her, from thoughtlessness or love of sport. But they knew not how deep, ly eacb sportive word pierced the heart of the little stranger, now how many bitter tears she had shed in secret over their unkind ness. Mrs. Lee, learning that the scholars con tinued their unjust treatment towards her child, resolved to accept her brother's invi tation, although he was a poor man, and through his influence Lizzie might perhaps lead a happier life among new schoolmates. Accordingly at the end of the term she left Bridgeville, and removed to New York. Althongh Lizzie had been a metu'aer of' the school but one term, she had gained the medal, and it was worn from the Academy beneath the dispised garments. Weeks, months and years glided away to the' students of the Bridgeville Academy, and the little•" Calico Cloak" was forgotten. Those who had been at school with her had left to enter upon the business of life. Twelve years after Mrs. Lee left the town, Mr. Ma3nard, a' young clergyman, came in to Bridgeville, and was settled as pastor of the -vil la go-ch areh-----It-was-m ported ; at-th • sewing circle, 'the week following ordination, that it was expected he would bring his bride into town in a week. There Was great curi osity to see her, especially after it was re ported that sife Was a talented young author ess. Soon after, Mr. Maynard gratified their curiosity, by walking into church with his young wife leaning on his arm. She was a lady of great intellectual beauty, and every body was deeply interested in the young min ister and his wife. The following week the young ladies flock ed-to - see- her,. and—she promised to meet them at the "next gathering of the sewing cir cle. The day arrived, and although it was quite stormy, Mrs. Deacon Brown's parlor was fill ed with smiling faces. Thie Deacon's car riage was sent to the parsonage after- Mrs. Maynard, and in due time it arrived, bring. ing the lady within it. The shaking of hands that followed her arrival, can be imagined by those only who have been present upon such occasions. "How are you pleased with our village ?' asked a 11Irs..

"Were you over in Bridgeville before?" asked another lady, as those around looked somewhat surprised. 0 1 was here a few months when a child,"-1 replied Mrs. Maynard. • Their curiosity was excited. "Have you friends here?" asked a third, after a moment's silence. "I have not. I resided with my mother —widow Lee. We lived in a little cottage, which stood upon the spot now occupied by a large storehouse, on the corner of Pine street," "The widow Lce?" repeated Mrs. Britton; 4 1 well remember the cottage, but I don't re collect the name." •'I think I attended school With you at the Academy," replied Mrs. Maynard. "Yau. were Miss "Mary Lark—were you not?" "That was my name." replied the lady, as a smile passed over her features at being rec ognozed; "but I am really quite ashamed that my memory has proved so recreant."- •"I was known in the Academy as the lit tle 'Ca.lico ClOak.' Perhaps you can remem ber me by that name." The smile faded from the face of Mrs. Britton, and a deep blush overspread her fea tures, which in a few moments was seen deepening upon the faces of Others present. There was silence for some minutes When Mrs. Maynard looked up she found she had caused considerable disturbance among. the ladies of her own age by making herself Known. Oh: I remember very well when the little Cloak'.wcnt to the Academy," said an 0143:1ady,. us she looked over , her glasses, "and I think, if my memory serves me right, some of' the ladies present owe Mrs, Maynard an apology." "I had no intention whatever ladies," re plied Mrs. Maynard. ''to reprove any one present by making`myself known; but as it may seem to'some that such was. my inten tion,.. n .• youtlies remember the little 'Cali co Cloak, but no one but the wearer knew how deeply each ankind word pierced the lit , tle heart that beat beneath it. As I again hear the old Academy bell ring, it brings back to my mind the sorrow of my childhood. But let no holy mistake me by supposing that I cherish any unkind feeling toward a ny one. I know that whatever the past may have been, you are now my friends. But, la dice ou-hard--ch ild renTlearrr them a lesson froffUiy experience,and treat kindly the poor and dispised. A calico cloak may cover a. heart . as warm with affection, and as sensitive with sorrow, as one that heats beneath a velvet-covering., Whcrev et you meet a child that shlwe a disposition to despise the poor, tell it the story of the little 'Calico Cloak'—it will carry its own moral With it." "That is the shortest, but the best sermon .r ll 4ttaxiHlise ISTorottefkistichemes si `,, ' I ever heard," said the old lady again t asshe put her handkerchief under her glasses, "and I don't believe it will be lost by any of us." The old lady was right The story went orth one to another, until it found its way into the Atademy. At that very time -a little boy was attend ing school there, whose mother was strug- - gling with her needle to give him an educa tion. The boys often made sport of his patched knees and elbows, and lie would run home to his mother. But when the "Calico - Cloak" reached the scholars, the littleboys (for he was naturally a noble-hearted child) became very kind to "Little Patchey." When Mrs. Maynard heard the story of "Little Patchey," she felt that she was well repaid for' all she herself bad suffered in her childhood. Important to Young Men. A well known young man recently succeed ed in getting a certificate of exemption from the draft, from the board of enrollment on the groundofThysieal disability, and hasten ed. to his lady luve to announce his escape. Strangely to him, the good news affected her in an unexpected manner, and she withdrew from his presence with but the shadow of an excuse. The young man was confounded,. and thinking of rivals, sought an explanation 'from the lady's father, who always treated him graciously, and was favorable to the pr 0..., posed alliance. The father in turn was mys tified, and 'immediately al.eking his daughter, found her in great grief. - "Oh, father," said the girl, 4'i. have been shamefully deceived ! Oh, how mortifying, to be known to be en gaged to a man who comes shamelessly to me, just before our marriage. and rejoices in "physical disabilities." Why did'you not tell me that the man Was imperfect or sickly, be fora-matters-went so far ? Imlswe no ambi tionto turn my future home into a domestic hospital, or myself into a perpetual nurse !" The father tried to pursuado her by say ing that probably a trilling-ailment,--magni fied by the complaint, might have obtained his .exemption from service, and reminded her that her lover was a fine rider, a grace-. ful skater, and very expert in most manly ex ercises. "And under all this," added the fair girl, he hides some dreadful infirmity!— Surely you do not think I would be engaged to him if I knew him to be consumptive,_ scrofulous', - or - worser - .1 - tlfalik — G7fd - that the draft has lifted' the mask! And the man ac tually delights in being advised as physical ly disqualified to his country. Oh ! shame ! He Shall know," said she, rising with proud indignation, that he, is phycically disqualifi ed to husbadd me!" And the father, physiol ogically considering how the seeds of disease are entailed from one generation to another, approved his daughter's decision, and inform ed the young man that he was exempt from the proposed marriage on the grounds of "physical disability." Soldiers After the WS! Macaulay, in the portion 'uf his llistoryrc lating,to the state of English society at the close of the .great revolution, touches on a subject curiously paralleled in our own times. Speaking of the fears that were then enter tained as to the result of disbanding Crom well's army and throwingits unruly elements etek_into-society,-he says - : "The troops were now to be disbanded.— Fifty thousand men; accustomed to the. pro fession of arms, were at once thrown on the world, and experience seemed to warrant the belief that this change would produce much misery and crime—that the discharged vet erans would be seen begging in everystreet, or would be driven by hunger to pillage But no such a result followed. In a fow months there remained not a trace indicating that the most formidable army in the world had just been absorbed into the mass of the community. The royalists themselves con fessed that, in every department df honest industry, the discarded warriors prospered beyond other men; that none was charged With any theft or robbery ; that none was heard to ask au alms ; and that, if a baker,.a mason, or a wagoner •attracted notice by his diligence and sobriety, he was, in all prolia billy, one of Olieer's 'old soldiers." BACIIELORS.-A 'day or two before the ad journment of the Maryland Legis'ature, c prop)sition was introduced to tax bachelors above twenty-five years of age not less than 620 a head per annum, because the war is destructive of the male population, While the number of females is greatly in excess to that of the opposite sex, and it is the duty of every lover of his country 'to promote by every means the elements that constitute her strength ; said tax to be applied to the sup port and education of the children of Mary land soldiers slain in battle. The proposi tion was amended by doubling the tax • upoo bachelors over forty-five years of age.
