A flurry of snow had fallen, just cue i;b remind us that winter was setting in. Father always put things ofrtll!ie last min ute, and then he wouhtrive all lie-i'oi-o him. and he as eiyss asalicnT when her cubs are hi dang-'r. Wehad been to work since daylight, ant) my feel were almost frozen, lb! lean feel I hem ache now! 'Jjjfey Were cut, and sore, and would hav been bleed ing, but they were imttjb as icicles. Late in the afternoon i'.itlier sent me to the house, and mother Went out and took my place in the licld. My feet were over the worst of their aching, and li''id piled the green " nod in tlie 1'iv- niaias. and laid dowijAu tin- floor, with ttfy bauds iijiderfny bead, to watch the sap sizzle and putter, and fire off miniature cannon wlien there came a rap on the door. Mid, without wailing for an answer, in i-ame a stranger, well bundled in fur cap and overcoat. ('an I warm up here?" " "Guess so," said I. hitching along to give him half of the fireplace. The man tame up eagerly, like one who had tiavelcd long, and was weary and chilled, and spread out his hand's before the lire, as if heat was a luxury to them. "Where's your folks?" he asked, glancing down at me, for I hadn't the civility to rise. "Out." "Are they around?" "Digging taters !" "Rattier late tlait, iifc't it?" .n.i. , - naiiier. "Do you think I could get a bite here ?" "Guess so." "Could I stay here to-night?" "Guess so." The man unbuttoned his coat and seated himself, letting his boots steam before the coals. After a little he rallied again, as if unaccustomed to he quiet. Where's your mother, my boy?" "Digging taters.'1 ".And you taking your comfort 1m fore the fire?" he asked, in a surprised tone. 1 explained -to him that I was obliged to come in on account of my feet, and then, for the first time, he seemed to notice that they were naked. "Have you no shoes?" "No sir." The man raised his head and gave a sharp look around the room, his eyes wandering over the shelves, a.' if miss ing something. Thinks I to myself he's hungry. Have you anything to read here?" was the next question. "There's part of a Testament on the high shelf." "Anything else?" "There's some almanacs, some where, but pretty much gone." " Anything else? Books, for in stance?" "Guess not." "Or newspapers?" Now I actually had never seen or heard of a newspaper In my life, so I said, sheepishly, "(iuessnot." The mail give me a sharp glance from his keen, black eye. "Yon guess not? Don't you know? My lad. if you are to go QHwtiiuj through the world, you will have a bad time of it." "I don't know what is." said I. newspaper ! The man looked at me with an ex pression of pity tliat I could not under stand. Then be rummaged in his over coat pocket, and produced one, which he handed me, with the remark. "The next best thing to a Bible is a good newspaper." I was on my feet in an instant. I spread the sheet on the bed, and never shall I forget the delight with which it was examined. I could not read a word did not know my letters even ; but there came, with looking at that paper, such a longing to read it, that I absolutely plunged both knuckles into my eyes, and uttered such a lub berly howl as brought the stranger to my side. "What's the matter?" asked he. "I can't read it," said I. "Don't you know your letters ?" "No sir." "Bring tlie paper to the fire, and lot me sec what we can do." Tlicn he tool, a pin from the inside of the lappel ofhls coat, and bade me pay strict attention. '1 am one of nature's schoolmas ters.'" stiid he, "and 1 can teach you yonr letters In an hour." By this time 1 was wide awake, you may lie sure. 'Do you see that letter? It is A. Now. sii do von take that p-iper and prick a dot over all the A's you see." j, ' (1I In tins way he taught me fa" t.ie vowels nud consonants. When my parents pnme in ti-oni the field 1 had pricked the whole alphabet Into my memory in a way nevei to he for gotten. During the evening the man convcr-cil very (W-elv with toy father in regard to iii spiritual and worldly condition. My parents readily con fessed their Sect) nf reliotti but as to education, my father said ht parent trmv tvt ttiirnttii, mid (hey got throng the wnrttl. "Bllt," said the stranger, " f they had been educated, do you think I should have found yon in this log lint, digging potatoes after the snow 1ms fallen, and that. too. aided by your m'fi f No. sir; yon would have made a steam engine out ot your bead first." The stranger wii an itinerant min ister. JVe bad prayers that night. and aslt Was the first time in my life I bad heard a prayer, the man's fervor impressed me very sensibly, as you may .suppose. As we were closely pressed for quar ters, the stranger bad to share my straw bung, and be did not neglect the additional opportunity to urge me to make a man of myself. If you will learn to read," said he and von can. now that yon know your letters, I will send you a newspaper every weeK, This generosity won my heart. The next morning he obtained my father's permission for ine to go to the post oftlca every Saturday, in consideration of my general good conduct during the week. As the postofflce was several miles distant, and 1 should be obliged to go on foot, it may seem strange that I regarded this pennlsgiOn as a Very kind condescension on the part of my father; but. Indeed. I never was so grateful to him for any act of his life. I can never recall, without a smile, the excitement attendant upon my fir-t post-offiee trip. If I did not run every step ot the way. it was because my breath did not hold out. 'I don't suppose there were a dozen houses in the village where the office was locat ed ; but ! remember bow impressed 1 was by the hustle of the little country hamlet. It couldn't he supposed that 1 asked for that napras I would ask for anything else. 3Iy very icart stopped beating when the Mpstniaster looked out, with a pen stuck behind his ear, and asked ine what I wanted. "Is there a paper hero for me?" said f. Who for?" he asked. "For me." "Well, who is we?" "Tell him your iMft." said a pleas ant Jooking woman, who seemed to lie waiting for something, too. My name ? I was not sure I had any." i was always called Tim at home. So 1 called out "Tim'." Weil, you ought to h ive heard the loungers' about the place laugh, then. Even the nice lady joined in it. "Tell him your father's name," said she. Tie's old Tim. and I'm little Tim," said 1, feeling as if I must begin to cry. There was another shout. It's Timothy somebody," said the lady. "Please look for a Timothy, and perhaps von will find it. Then she put her hand kindly on ; my shoulder, and patted it a little. ) 'Here's a Timothy Scraggin,"said j the postman, holding hp a paper, and ! peeping into the wrapper. Then l reinemnereu Hearing a man i that got mad at father, mil him "OW ; OVftttlyln . That's it." said Land I darted oft', like a pickerel. When I got away from the village, I sat dowu on the ground, and took a good look at my treasure. I hope j 1 may be as happy again, but 1 j amatraltl I never shaft. After I had carefully examined every part of the paper, I studied the wrapper. It was j my name, for the postmaster had read I it Master Timothy Seroggin! To; think of my being addressed as i...'f.r, and that my name was written out in hill ! Just then, 1 looked at my naked feet. -A boy that take' a paper, "thought I. "onclit to wearshoes." Two weeks from that dnv. fatth.r ; sold potatoes and Iwught me "tlie first i nair of twir shoes I ever wore. The next day being Sunday, mother, i who knew something about reading, helped me to spell out the shortest words, and every night during the week I devoted all my time to learning to read if. Before" the winter was over I could read tolerably well. A year later, the minister came to us again, and I stood up by Lis side, and read some verses which he had himself? written for the paper. When I had finished, I saw the tears creep ing down his gray heard, and mother was leaning on the table, with her face in her apron. "Hem."' said father; "I'D sell taters, and take a paper for myself!" And he did. Josh Mlllng on the "Dote." Thegote iza koarse wollen sheep. They hav a split hoof and a whole tail. They have a good appetite, and a sanguine digestion. They swallo what tin y eat, and will eat ennything they kan 'bite. Their moral karakters are not pol ished, they had rather steal a rotten turnip out OV a garbage box, than tew cum honestly hi a pek ov oats. The mule note haz two horns on the ridge of his bed and a mustash on hiz bottom Hp, and izthe plug ugly ov his nnberhood. They are faithful critter- and will stick tew a friend az long az he livs in , a shanty. A maskullne gote will fite eiuiy thing from an elephant down to hiz shadileron a ded wall, ! They kan klinic enny thing hut a I greast pole, and kiio the way up a I rock, az uafral aza woodbine. They are az certain tew raize ax yimg ones, sum familys arehatl'gotes. and the other haft' children. They are good eating when they are young but they leave itoph az they get stronger. They are alwtis poor in the bodily, but phfttt in the stummlek. When they eat seems to all go to appetight. You mite az well agree tew phatt an injun-rubher oversbewbi fillingit with klam shells, az tew raise enny adipose membrane on the outside bust ov gote. A phatt gote would be a literary curiosity. They use the same dinlekt ivz tile sheep, and the ywifg one spewh th language more fluently than the par icnts do. Thare iz only two animals ov tlie earth that will eat tobakko one iza man and tuther iza gote. but the gote understands it the liiosf. for be swol len tb(! spit chaw and oil.

Taking leaf Impressons is a verv pleitsant amuse ment, especially for girls, and we sub join tlu following method of tbeoier atlon, which is said to be a good one ' although not new : Hold oil paper in tlie smoke of a lamp oi'of pitch until it becomes coat ! ed with the smoke; then take a perfect i leaf having a pretty outline ; and after j 'vanning it with the hand-, lay the leaf upon the smoked side of the pa j per, with the under side down, press j it evenly upon the paper that every i part may come In contact: go over it i lightly with a roiling pin. then remove the leaf witli care to a plain piece of white note paper and use the rolling pin again ; you will then have a beau tiful linresslon of the delicate veins ami outlines ot the leaf. And this process is so simple that any person, with a little practice to enable him to apply the right quantity of smoke to the oil paper and give the leaf tin proper pressure, can prepare leaf im pressions such as a naturalist would be proud to possess, specimens can tie neatly preserved in book form, inter leaving the impression with tissue (kiper. The most cutting stroke of sarcasm we know of is this : When Senator Sumner made bis charge against Pres- ident Grant that he was a great (inar relcr. a lady, upon hearing it, qnietly remarked : "His wife lias lieen able to live with him for nearly thirty years and they seem to get along very "pleasantly and happily together?' i .. . ,
