T to A Boy Revewge. John Ranger vtnlked atorigrjnhU auiv Inline iroin scnotii one pienumi ;i iHtnir H..III r..iw. v inter iilleruoon feeling Tatlieront of .... - .1. . ., .,..'... ! sorts. I lie reason ol tlK iihcoinion.- nMe filling in Ills niinil was this; That inonmijr tlie boys bad proposed Imlkllng a snow fort on the hill near the seliool-hoiise. For some days tin' weather bad ben very 'oderate," as people in the country express it. arid the snow had become of Just the light consistency ttrll into Kails, and thus facilitate the bnlWitlg of a snow luit in capital style. John lad fallen in with tlie plan very eagerly, lie loved sport of that kind as well a- any boy in the school. When Is- plawl l,e' threw all his energlM lute U sport, ami was consequently a son el a leader in all the MlHMeiHtjruetS lllC deiil toAhool life. And I am glad to eny that he studied in very inncli the same way as lie played ; lie made no half wow about It, out got his lessons Uiomighly anJ well. Probably Ills relish lor plav gave bln a keener ap petite lor his studies. 1 have often noticed that those hoys who play lest. .-tndy liest. No those toys who play most, however, for souie boy think Ol nothing hut play. As the plan was propo-cd In the morning that they might have time to build the fort in the hour given them at noon to eat their lunch during the forenoon recess, and devote tlie entire hour to work on tlie fort, and com plete it. if possible, before the alwr iioou school hours began, that it might lie ready tor use next day. Nearly all the large hoys bad a hard lesson in arithmetic that forenoon. The teach er had told them that three of tlie hardest probtems most be worked out uu their slates and brought fur luspec liou at recitation time. If not Cor rectly done, time nin-t l' taken from the hour's nooning to study on them. Tlie boy thonglitof the snow fort to be Built, w id applied themselves dili gently to their lessons'. John took bis slate 'and worked away lui-iiy. lie fore recitation came he had cpntmered all lllftlculties, and had the knotty problems written down for the teach erNln.spe.Tlon. J " . Kecitatiou came, ueiooh ma emu: and started for the class whicli was ; forming on tlie floor. He had got nearly to his place when he saw that the examples lie had wrltteu down so lareftiltv were gone rubbed out en-. tirely, 'lie stared at tlie blank slate n itli a look of complete bewilderment. Ue bad taken unusual pain- with them. When he looked last they were certainly there. Now they wen-gone. Ititt who had rubbed them out f home one must have done so. He could not remember that any one had been to his seat, and yet some person had tound and taken the opportunity to blot the result of bis morning's labor. I had the example on my slate, sir." he said to the teacher. "They are gone. Some one lias rubbed them out.7' Who lias niblied tliem out;-' ask ed tlie teacher, in bis sharp, stern way. I dou't know, sir, ' answered John. "Are yon sure yon line! them work ed out correctly ?" asked the teacher. "Yea, sir." answered John, flushing up at the doubt implied by the teach-i er's one and question. Very well, as you are Unable to produce them, ami can accuse no one of having rubbed them out. you may toy in at noon and work on them." John was p mi proud to say a word ! .i, ,i imiiKt a . ...... ... i ... -.. . , u. in .ii..'.. ....i.. - . or ivn ii ' So he took his seat in silence, resolved to And out, if it were possible, tli author of his misfortune, for such lie con-ideRsI it to be, since it obliged him to stay away from the fort-build-in-' that was to take place at U00U.

"See you d d first, and then I wont, was the gmtf response. "Ken-hung." llu' foreman was thrown; and the publisher stood calm ly awaiting another issue. Another brief but spirited dialouge occurred with the next comer, and -o the thing went on until four had found their knock oil' terminate in a knock down. The re-t went salisliedly back to their work, and Mr. Uarper 'pulling oil' Ills coat, went up stall's and olliclated as loi-etiian. 1 1..... t Hi , I Stwi neic I e ,IO not know, but it passe current among printers.
