NOT ASUAMED OF RIDICULE. A ‘story for the Y jung. I shall ne ver forget a lesson which I received nul’ ea young lad at an academy in B— Awong my school-fellows where Hartly and Jem" on. “They were somewhat older than my- "s, and the iatter I looked up to og sort of er in matters of opinion and of sport. He was not at heart malicious, but he had a foolish ambition of being thought witty and sareastic, and he made himself feared by a besetting hab- itef turning things into ridicule, so that he seemed continually on the look-out for matters of derision Hartly was a new scholar, and was little known among the boys. One morning, as we were on our way to school, he was seen driving a cow along the road toward a neighboring field. A group of beys, among whom was Jem- son, met him as he waa passing. The opportu- nity was not to be lost by Jemson. ‘: Halloa be exclaimed; ‘‘what’s the price of milk? I say. Jonathan, what do you fodder on? What will you take for all the gold on her horns? boys, if you want to teethe latest Paris style, Jwok at those boots’? Hartly waving his hand at us with a pleasant smile, and driving the cow to the field, tock down the bars of a rail fence, saw her eafely in the enclosure, and then putting up the bars emo and entered the echool with the rest of ws After school in the afternoon, he let out the cow, and dreve her off, none of us knew where. And every day, for two or three weeks, he went through the sume task. The boys of ——— Academy were nearly all the sons of wealthy parents, and some of them, among whom was Jemison, were dances enough te look down with a sort of diaain upon a sholar who had to driveacow. The sneers and 's of Jemson were accordingly often renewed e once, on a plea that he did of the barn, refused to sit next to Hartly. Qc- casionally he would inquire after the cow’s health, pronouncing the word - ke-ow,.”’ after the manner of some of the country people. With admirable good nature did Hartly bear all these silly attempts to wound and annoy ium. Ido not remember that he was even once | betrayed into a look or word of angry retalia- te ~ [I suppose, Hartly,”’ said Jemson one «ay. ** L suppose your lady means to make a milkman of you.” “ Why not,” asked Hartly. ©, nothing; only don’t leave much water in the cang after you rinse them—that’s all!”’ The boys laughed, and Hartly, not in the least mortified, replied. *‘ Never fear; if ever I should rise to be a milkman, I'll give good measure and good milk.’’ The day after this conversation, there was public exhibition, at which a number ef ladies and gentlemen from other cities were present. Prizes were awarded by tho Principal ef our Academy, and both Hartly and Jemson received a creditable number; for, in respect to scholarship, those two were about | After the ceremony of distribution, the | ipal remarked that there was one prize, | e ting of a medal which was rarely awarded, not so much on account of its great cost, as be- suse the instances were rare which renderel ts bestowal proper. It was the prize for hero- 1 The last boy who received one was youn; Manners, who three years ago rescued the blind girl from drowning. The Principal then said that with the per- | ission of the company. he would relate a short tory. Not long since, some scholars were firing a kite in the street, just as a poor boy en borseback rode by on his way to the mill. { The horse took fright and threw the boy, injur- | ing him so badly that he was carried home, and confined some weeks to his bed. Of the echol- ars who had unintentionally caused the dis- aster, none followed to learn the fate of the wounded boy. There was one scholar who had witnessed the accident from a distance, but stayed to render services. This scholar soon learned that the wounded boy was the grandson of a poor widow, whose sole support consisted in selling the milk of a | fine cow, of which she was the owner. Alas! what could she now do? She was old and lame, and her grandson, on whom she depended to drive the cow to pasture. was now on his back, helpless. * Never mind, good woman,”” sail the scholar, ‘I can drive your cow!” With blessings and thanks the old woman ac- cepted his offer. But his kindness did not stop here. Money was wanted to get articles from the apothecary. ‘I bave money that my mother sent me to buy a pair of boots with; but | I can do without them for a while.” *Oh, | ne.” said the old woman, * 1 can't consent to that; but here is a pair of cow-hide boots that l beught for Henry, who can’t wear them. If you would only buy these, giving us what t boot the boots, elaum=y as they were, and has wern them up to this time. Well, when it was discovered by other boys of the Academy that our scholar wasin the habit of driving a cow, he was assailed with laughter and ridicule. His cowhide boots in particular were nade matter of mirth. But he kept on cheerfully and bravely, day after day, never shunning observation. driving the widow’ cow, and wearing his thick boots, contented i the thought that he was doing right. caring not all the jeers and sneers that could be uttered. ever undertook to explain why he drove a *. for he was not inclined to make a vaunt charitable motives, and. furthermore, in his heurt he bad no sympathy with the false pride that could look with ridicule on any useful em- ployment. It was by mere accident that his course of kindness and self denial was yester- day discovered by his teacher. And now, ladies and gentleman, [ appeal to Was there not true heroisin in this boy's uduet? Nay, Master Hartly, do not slink ut ot sight behind the blackboard!

A picture, representing the sale of a quantity of old furniture seized for rent, was exhibited some years back in the window of adealer in the Place de la Madeleine, Paris, and attracted | considerable attention. In the foreground was Placed a poor woman holding in her arms a child, and watching with a sorrowful eye the progress of the sale. The sweet face of the child stood out in strong contrast to the distressed countenance of the poor mother. Further back were the persunages connected with the sale, represented with great vigor. The following is stated by a Lyons journal to be the history of the scene depicted : _ A few years since the painter of the picture in question, an eminent artist at Lyons, while passing through the Rue des Terreaux, ap- proached a number of persona, who were gath- ered together witnessing the sale of the furni- ture of a poor woman. 4 woman was seated on the pavement, with achild in her arms. The painter spoke to her, and was told that the fur- niture which was being sold belonged to her; that her husband had Tately died, leaving her with the child she had in her arms; that she had srugeled hard to maintain herself by working day and night, submitting to every privation; but that her landlord had at longi seized her furniture for some months’ rent which was due him. The artist was much affected by this simple recital, and inquired who was her landlord ‘: There he is,’* replied the poor woman, point- ing to a man who was watching the progress of the sale: and he was Teoognized by the painter as a person who was suspected of h Zz made a considerable fortune by usury; so that to | make any appeal to his feelings on behalf of the poor widow would be usoless. The artist was | considering within himself what other plan he not like the odor | could adopt to benefit her, when the crier an- nounced a picture for sale. It was a miserable daub, which in the manner the poor woman had used to hide the hole in the wall through which the pipe of the stove passed during the winter. It was put up at one franc. The artist at once conceived a plan for taking revenge on the landlord. He went over, examining the picture with great attention, and then called out, with a loud voice, One hundred francs !”’ The landlord was astonished at the bid, but conceiving that a picture for which so eminent an artist could offer that sum was worth more than double, boldly offered 200f. “Five hundred!” said the painter, and the contest between the two bidders became so ani- mated that tho prize was at length knocked down to the landlord at 2200f.' The purchaser, then addressing the painter, said: In seeing an artist of your merit bid sv eagerly for the picture, I supposed that it must be valuable. Now, tell me, air, at what do you estimate its value?” “About three francs and a half,” said the Painter; “ but I would not give that for it.”’ * You are surely jeating.”” said the landlord, “for you bid as high as 2100f. for it.” ~ That is true,” replied the artist, “and I will tell you why [did so. You are in Pposses- sion of an income of 25,000f. a year, have seized on the furniture of » poor woman for a debt of 200f. I wished to give you a lesson, and you fell into my trap. Instead of the poor woman being your debtor, she is now your cred- itor, and I fatter myself you will not compel her to seize on your furniture for her debt.”” The artist then politely saluted the naston- ished landlord, and having announced her good fortune to the poor woman, walked away. mice es Ee A Romantic Reaiox.—The editor of the Abingdon Virginian recently spent a few days in the White Top Mountains, and other peaks in that range, and in ‘‘all the region round about.” In giving his experience he says: The White Top is the highest peak in the whole Apalachian range, and from its summit the most extensive and magnificent view is ob- tained, it has ever been our fortune to witness. The trees upon its summit are just beginning to bud. and the whole face of the mountains is ich in fragrance and gorgeous in colors. While we were upon the summit, and looking out westward with a lasé, at Abingdon and the farms many miles beyond it. acloxd came rolling up the moun- tain, which soon swept across the top careering like a snow storm, the wind whistling mourn- fully and winter-like through the naked limbs, and the vapor hiding our compauy from each other. Frum Southesstern slo portivus of North Carvlina, Tennossee and Virginia all fell within the scope of natural! vision, and trom the Northwestern slope the bold outline of old Ken- tucky marked the horison. The most remarkable thing we saw upon White Top is its crowds of trees called Lash- horn. These trees are of all heights, from mere shrubs up to 50 feet, and the tops are almost invariably flat. s> much so, and the branches closely interwoven, that persons can stand or walk upon them. Our company, consisting of nine persons, had the carivsity to ascend to the e we all sat down platform of foliage * 5 together upon the level some 25 feetin ¢ eempany actually laid down and rolled across the top. This tree is a apecies of fir, and is, we believe, peculiar to that peak. The timber near the summit is small and gnarled, but at the base the trees are giants. We saw and measured one white oak 18} feet in circumfer- enee, with 70 feet trunk without a limb. The streams in the neighborhood all abound with trout, (the best table fish in the South- west.) and their capture, though laborious, is full of sport. The accommodations in Taylor's Valley, six miles from White Top, are as good and as comfortable as can be (aa in any country, and the people kind, hospitable and obliging. “Fiery Years Hrexee.’’—Right Rev.
