habitation ; but it was IJjSfer than no
shelter at all. anil wo werf used to it.

who drags them aliout (Wring the cold
weather that makes three fourths c,f
the New Kngland year.
1 was helping father dig potatoes,
one day. late in the fHMMjenl was
about nine years old. 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

been to work since daylight, ant) my

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

"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

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 ;

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 ;

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.

Leaf Jmpressioxs. 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?'
