J0H \ WALTON’S REVENGE "Be off fnun here, you little beggarr aaid Cbcar Ruoalda im|wTi(iua]y. The siieaker wua a well dnwail boy of 14. and the w.ini* were adilrewsl tu a boy of about hu own nge and his sister of 8. The enntniat between tlu-ir outwar.1 upjvuiraiKv was striking. Osi-ar was of light •uriiplrxion, and looked like R irttisl child of the anst..ra.y. He held a club in lii. hand, which, it might be judged from his scowling face, ho would not be unwilling to use. John Walton, who confronted him without fear, was a stouter hoy than Oscar. His complexion was dark, his hair, black as the farm's wing, hung over his forehead. Hit clothing was coarse and well worn, bis pants were tucked up nearly to his kins-., and shoes and stockings were luxuries which ho dispensed. His little sister, terrified by Oscar’s rude manner, clung to her brother "Don’t lie scared of him, Lizzie,'' aaid John. "He won't dare to touch us.” -Won't I. though?" said Oscar, clutching his stick tighter. "Not if you know what is best for yourself," aaid John, looking fixedly at him. '•You have no business here, you beggar," aaid Oscar furiously. "I am no beggar," aaid the barefoot boy proudly. "This is my father's land. Can you deny thatT demanded Oscar. "I know it is, and I suppose it will be yours some day." •‘Then, why have you intruded berry "I did not anpiKise it would do any harm to pick a few berries, which would otherwise decay on the vinca." "Then yon know it now. 1 don't care for the berries, but 1 don’t want any beggar's brats on my fatherk place." "Stop tbere, young master,''said John firmly. "You called me a l»-ggar and I did not care much, but if you call my mother by that name youll he sorry." "IT said Oscar contemptuoufily. "What will you do:' "I’ll heat you with that stick you hold "Then I do call her a beggar," said Oscar furiously. ••What are you going to do about itF" "YouTl see." John Walton let his sinter's Ini'll fail, and springing npon Oscar wrenched the stick from Ins hand, laid it over his hack with sharp emphasis three timra, and then flung it into the pool hard by. Leaving his young enemy prostrate he took his terrified sister by the liAnd and saying. “We’ll go home now, Lizzie," walked qdietly away. Oscar picked himself up, mortified and furious. He would have pursued John and wreaked instant vengeance npon him if he hail dared, but in the hands of the young savage, as ho mentally chararterized him, be hail felt his own utter inability to cope with him, and resol veil that vengeance should come in another

,pe.

My father should turn the beggars out of house and home," he muttered. •I wish they might starve." The father of Oscar Ronalds was the proprietor of a handsome house and large landed estate, including sec end tenements which be rented out. In the poorest of these lived John Walton anil his mother. They lived poorly enough: how it would be hard to tell, but at all events tbev lived and never sought 'dp. When John told the story of his encounter to his mother she was disturbed, fearing that trouble might come of it So, indeed, it did. The next morning Squire Ronalds, with his stiff, erect figure, was seen approaching the widow’s cottage. Mr*. Walton opened the door. “Wont you come in,Squire Ronalds. 1 " she aaid nervously. "No, madam, I have hut a word to aay, and that is soon aaid. Are yon are that your boy grossly insulted my i Oscar yesterday:" -He told me that Oscar called me namce, and he knocked him down. He has a nasty temper." •Your son is a ruffian, ma’am." ‘Not ao bad as that. He i* a good .

| "It would be right," aaid John firmly. I “You are un impudent young rascal." ! "Mother." aaid John quietly, "there is ; no use listening further. 1 thall not apologize, and am ready to take the cooI aequcnoTi. lArti't be alarmed. IH take

j care of you."

j "You mast leave this house to-mor row." roared Squire Ronalds, in a Very undignified rage, stamping bis gold head-

I cd cane upon the gronnd.

1 "Very w.-ll," aaid John. ••Good day, air." and ckavd the door, leaving the : aquire under a vague im|ireaduc that he ; had got the worst of the encounter. "What ahall We do. John)'' aaid Mia.

1 Walton dismally.

•TU tell you. mptiu-r." said John, i “There is nothing for"me to do here. Well go to Brandon, where there are ■ woolen mills. Then I can get a chance i to work, and HI rise, never fear. It is

j bwt for us to go."

! The next day Mr. Ronalds' tenement i was empty, and no one knew where the : family had gone. 0*oarexulted in what

j he regarded as his triumph.

i Twenty years tossed. To the barefooted boy they brought wonderful change*. At St he found himself miprrintondent of the mill where he had entered as a i-jor operative, earning a aala- ! ry of 95.(100 a year. He had built a I hand-unr house, over which his mother [ presided with matronly dignity. His | sister Lizzie was the wife of a young ! pbysieian in soi-ivsiifnl practice in the One winter evening they were all seated in a luxuriously furnishid room, [ before a glowing fire. His sister hod come to spend the afternoon, Imt was prevented by the violent storm from re-

turning to her own home.

"What a storm it isT" aha exclaimed, shuddering. "I pity those who are out

in it."

"Yes." said her brother, "it is the most violent storm of the year. The gnriw must lie two feet dwp at least. But wo need not fed troubled. It is summer in"Who would have thought. John, we should come to live in such comfort/" aaid his mother. "Twenty years ago we were poorly off." “I well remember it It was a lucky thing we came to Brandon." "So it has turned out. But I was alarmed when you quarreled with young Oscar Ronalds." "I have forgiven him. The harm he intended has only done us good." "Have you heard anything of him lately/" “Not lately. His father died ten years since, and 1 am told Oscar is very extravagant, that is all." The storm increased in violence, shaking the house, firm and strong as it wu. • ii the door bell rang shandy.

Siam the pwr creature recovered benrlt, renewed the March and found the picket.

Then she peeped about fur the proper {dace to depadt the nickel. None seemed to have lieen j Tori dod. The honiwt creature got on her feet, and the thimble, the troche, the twist and th snuff box tumbled to the flour, the jiin sticking, like au old friend, to Imt skirt. Heedless, apparently, af this disaster she pittered about the wall behind Imt seat, pressing her trembling fingers against every nail and button and bit of fringe, bot found no place for her fare. Then she dropped to her seat with a bind complaint "There ain't no coutrybution box nor nothin' fur the fare," she aaid. "Where I come from thun-'a alien a box; ‘n now my thimble Ti my snuff box ’n my troche is all gone to Juppy," and she began to

cry.

The luerrimi-nl of the three damsels was now almost beyond control, though they affis-teil well lireil air* by covering their mouths with dainty handkerchiefs and looking out of the window. A alight young girl, simply attired, but with an air of elegance about her, had been sitting in a comer, a quiet but keen obwTViT of the seem-. She now rose, picked up the old woman's scattered property, and banding it to her shyly "Allow me to hand your fare up, and tell mo tyhvre you want to get off. I’ll ask the driver to look after you." After a deal more fumbling with thancient pocketbook a slip of paper with an addreu was produced. The address aud the lirumined request were given to ‘ the driver, who was charged to take particular care of the lady, as she was feeble. The grateful old woman was asaured tliat she would he well looked after, and the young girl left the stage. As ■■lie reached the ground a gentleman nu*djr.- hat and said: ••Goo!! ntuming.

Motion seems to be a necessary endowment of life. "Plants," Bays Gray, "hava no need of locomotion, and ao are generally fixed fast to the spot where they grow. Yet many plants move their parts frtely, sometimes when tbere is no occasion fur it that we can understand, and sometime* accomplishing by it some useful end. The sudden cl using of the leaflets of the sensitive plant and the dropping of it* leaf stalk when jarred, also the sudden starting forward of the stamens of the barberry at the touch, are familiar examples. “Such aura seem at first view ao strange and ao different from what wo expect of a plant that these plants arc generally imagined to bo endowed with a juvuliar faculty denied to common regi-tables. But a closer examination will show that jiUnts generally share in this faculty: that similar movements may be detected in them all, noly—like those of the hands of a clock or of the shadow of a sun dial—they are too slow for the motion to lie directly seen."
