INCIDENT IN SCHOOL LIKE. j i Years ogo. wlien I was s boy, it *«< j cuiiuiusry and probably'is now to »oidc extent among district 'schools in the < ( country, to hate spelling schools during i ( the winter term These gatherings war.- j ( suticipsted with great internt by thf 1 ( scholars, as at those times was decidni , who was tbe best speller. Occasionally ! > one school would visit soother for u te«i | ^ j of *cholsr»hip in this respect Ab ! bow ( ; tic little hrtrls sould throb snd big , i ones thump io their anxitty to best the i ( whole. : , Once on ■ time, s neighboring school , sent word to curs, thst on s certain dny ) in the afternoon i hey would meet io our , Bcboolhousc for one of those contests. | As ihc time wis short, most of the other | studies wers suspended, and st school ( anil st borne in tbe CTunings, ill hsnds , were studying to mister the monosyllables, dissyllables, sbbrevistioRS, Ac., , Ac., which the spellingbooks contained. / At length lbs day arrived, and as our , visitors were consideted rather oar so- t periors, our cares and anxieties were ( propurtioosbiy great. Ths scholars were t rarged io ■ standing position, on oppo- , site aides of the bouse, and the words , , pronounced to each side hlternstely, and , ! the scholar that "miwed" sat down. — , ; liis game was up. . i It did not take long to thin ths rsnk* i on both sides. In s short time our school had but eight oo the floor, and • theirs but six. After s few rounds, thf ( contt'at turned in tbeir favor, as they | bad funr standing to onr two For a t long tiiue it seemed as though these six t had .the bouks "by' heart. " Al length t tba number was reduced lo one on each ( side Our visitors we're represented by an accomplished young lady, whose parents bad recently arrived in town, and , ourh by myself, s ragged little buy of , ten summers, who bad set np nigbt after ] nigbt while my mother, with no other , light than thst produced by pint knots, • pronounced my lessons to me. The in- < terest of the spectators was excited to i the highest pitch, ss word after word ' | was spelled by escb. At length thr | yoolf£ lady missed, snd I stood alone ' | U4r teacher said aba did not understand | tw word. 8bs declared she did, that t the >Uonor was mini, and that I richly j 1 des. rved it. Thst was s proud moment ; forme. I had spelled down both schools ■nd was declared victor. My cheeks 1 < bnrned snd my brain was dizzy with ex < citement. ( 1 ■ Soon as the school was dismissed, my ' i competitrvts came and sat down by my ' side aod coogmtalsted^ue on mj succsss, 1 inquired my naye^and age, and also 1 flatteringly predicted my futnre success 1 Is life. i ' Ussecoitomed to soch attentions, 1 | donblleas acted as most liule boys woold 1 ' under inch circumstances, injudiciously. : - At this juncture Master 0.. the too of • s rich man of onr neighborhood, tauntingly said to me, in presence of my fair friend and a number of lha boys from lbs other eebool— ' 0. von needn't feel

, so big— yosr folks are poor, snd your father, is s drunkard." 1 was bappy no more — I was a drunkards son — snd how could I look my new friends in the fsee. My heart seemed to rise in my throat, snd almost suffocate uia. The hot'teara scalded foy eyes j —tint I kept them back ; and soon as possible, quietly slipped sway from my companions, procured my dinner basket, and unobserved, left tba scene of my triumph and Uisgracv, with a- heavy heart for my home. But what a home ! "My folks were poor.— and my father ' was a drunkard." But why should 1 be reproached . for lhat I 1 could not prevent my fa-hrr's drinking, and, asvialed and encouraged by uiy mother, I bad j dooe all I could to assist her in Iter wur»e than widowhood Boy aa 1 was, 1 tuwnrdly re«nlved ' never to ta>te of I qoor, and that 1 would show Ma-tir G thai if 1 wete a drunk- { ard's son, i would yet stand as high a* i | he did. But all. my resolves cuuld'not 1 alloy the guawing grief and vexation | produced by bis haughty .ords 'und | | taunting manner. In this frnne of mind j ^-my heart and bead aching, my eye» nrtul and swollen — I reached my b innj My mother saw at once lli-.t I was in j' I trouble, and inquitcd the ca-s# I buried i I iny face in her lap and liural into tear-. ; I Moflier seeing my grief, waited until 1 j | told her what happened, utid added, passioiiately, "1 wish luiher wouldn't be a i drunkard, so we could be icspecied as j , uthrr folks." At Drat, mother seeiied i almust overwbeliusd, but quickly rally- | i j said : j "My son, I feel very sorry (or you, r' and regret that your feelings have been'! 1 j SO injured. U has twitted you about < ' things yuu cannot help. Hut never j | mind, my aon He always bunsvl ; never , j U>»tc s drop of iutoxicaling liquor; study , | and improve your mind, lb-peud on , ■ i yonr own energies, trusting in God, and | ' yuu will, if your life is spur-d. make a ' ; useful «iid respected uiqn, 1 wish your j when sober. Could have witnessed ! ' ibis sceue. aud realized tha sorrow his ( j course .brings uu us all. Hut keep a , brave beart, my son. Kumember you a are responsible only for your own faults, r Prsy God to keep you. aod don't grieve c for tbe thoughtless and unkind reproach- > thst may be cast on yuur father's sc- 1 coast." This lesson of my blessed mother, 1 ' was not loat upon me. Nearly ( years have gone since thst dsy^ ' [ snd I hue passed many trying scenes, t bat none ever mads so Strong an im- ( prestion dn my feeliuga as that heartless j . remark of G.Y It was qo unjust aud t 1 unrsllrd for. Now, boys, always treat 1 j your master with kindness. Never indulge in taunting remarks towards any | one, and remember, that tliu son of a ( poor man, and even of a drunkard, may , sensibilities as keen ss your own. , But there Is soother pari of ibis story, i Tbe uthrr day a gentleman called al my I place of business, and asked if I knew ' i "Do you remember," said be. "of being at a spelling school at s certain 1 time, and a rude and thoughtless boy twitting you of poverty aud being a drunkard's son ?" "1 do most distinctly," said I. , H.Weil, " continued the genlismao, 'T < that buy. There has not probably a i month of niy life passed since then, but ^ bsve thought of thst remark with re- j ' gret and shame, aod as I am about leav- I ' Ing fur C aliforuia, perhaps to end my ! ' d>ys ibere, I could nut go witboat call- | on yoo, and asking your forgiveness , fur that act." Boys, I gave bim my , | in token of f»rgivenrta. Did I do i | right r You all say yes Well, then • ma close as I began. Boys, never ' I twit another tor what be cannot help. For All. Be jnst, siuce equity supports ths ho- ' rsce. Be good, as bounty studies ' every beart. Be indulgent, since tboo livest among beings weak like thyself. ! Be modest, aa prids hurts the self-love , of every hAmao being Pardon injuries, i as vengeance eternises hatred. Do good to hia who injures thee, that thon mayest show thyself greater than bs, and also gain friendship. Be moderate, temperate and chaste, since volnptaonsness, intemperance aud excess destroy iby being, aud render tbee contemptible.
