He had the Bead of a philosopher.
As we look iuto the echo i1 on a
Saturday morning in early spring, the
good old pedagogue had been for e
considerattltr time ill at ease. Evi-
dently there' was eo►nething upon his
mind which gave t,iin leech ur rest•
At length he. spoke, as speaks one,
who enters .upon an important
theme.
Charles Eddy 1
Here, sir, answered a boy of ten or
twelve summers, arising in his plaue.
Come 'littler, Charles. 1 would
speak with thee.
Thebwy advanced to the space, be-
fore the meteor's desk, lied looked up
with soniething of defiance intbe ex-
pression of his handsomer face.
Perhaps he suspected what war
coming.
Charles, dost remember of telling
me that Ltty mother kept thee at home
on the afteruoou of T'harsday "est!
The boy did not reply.
Au 1' thou dktst tell me tau ; and'
thy speech was false: 1. saw thy
mother last eveuiog, and she knew

efalsehnoti was worse --that was wicked.
Give me tuy hand. I dislike nraeh
topmast' thee—to give thee pain—
but tete wham school knows thine
error, and it must wetness the punish-
tient.
The old pedagogue took the hand of
the boy—a fair, plump, and prettily
ditnpled hand—and pt•oceeded to ad-
mtuister tare usual punishment of the
ferule. Charles did not shrink icor
did he wince. He received the
linuishment without a sign of pain,
and was thein bent to his seat : and

the people wanted a younger and

to be a stout, rugged youth, healthful
and handsoiire, with eft education as

wept when he bade his faithful friend
