X FATHER LOST.
Twenty-two years ago, when a tpriitgr evening Wa molM and cloudy over all the region about Mud rrwk. Pari and Betsey Lane came sauntering to the woods cabin from school. IVtM'v was an inch or two taller than
Paris, though he was ten year old wd j she only nine. He looked like a delib- ; erate and thoughtful small old man in bitttprnut-eolored trowst'n reaching nearly to his arm-pits, and corresponding coat and vest which hung unbuttoned, exposing bis hickory shirt. His red feet had found themselves sandal of mud In crowing Mud Creek Flat, and lie felt with pleasure, which half-shiv-ered, the aoft staff still sponging up betweets his toes, , PrU carried the dinner-basket, so Betsey had nothing to hamper her, and stepped out m freely as her straight areas, which strode her heels at ever Men, would let her. Both of them carried sprig of yoting sasaaras, and marked their way with nibbled leaves and peeled sticks. Betsey's dress was made just like her mother's, and hooked m front below its hem appeared the toes of her cowhide shoes; above the corded top, her round, ague-tinted face and flaxen hair. Before they could see home through the timber, the cows' voices came down the road, and then dog barked as if he scented them afar off, and felt grateful to them for thht one daily occasion for makitur the lonesome Illinois woods
rittfr. First they saw the stable-, it was a rail pen covered with corn-stalks, and the door hung open on wooden hinges. Pap ain't home yet," said Paris, shifting the dinner-basket to his other arm. 44 1 don't see the horses or wagon." But Otero's Safe," said Betsey; for Safe, like a loyal yellow dog, rushed to meet them as if making the effort of his life. And there was the house crowded by trees, with the whole woods for a dooryartl; and on the log step was mother, Utile Ellhu and Hiram just behind her. Paris and Betsey smelt supper as they approached. Weil did they know that a corn pone was browning m the Dutch oven upon the hearth, coals beneath and above it; that the sassafras or spicewood tea was steeping, to be tinctured with new milk and maple sugar, and become the most delightful draturht anybody ever drank; they snuffed the perfume of fried 'wild onions, which grew rank and early aloof the creek, and a hint of chicken gravy almost
strong enough to make them suspect
there was company. However, no nehrhbor atweared with
in when Betsey passed her mother and entersd. "Your pup ain't owe home yet," said Mm. Lane, looktaff wp the woods

going to wear white draaees, and the Boysll wear white pants. The asaater plays on his flute, and we got songs learnt to sing all together.
' Don t bother me with your exnibitlont now said Mrs, Lane, drawing
her eyebrows down as she strained her sight up the woods road. Betsey felt oonttrained at least to give a sample of Uie music. 80 she sung in a high voice:
44 When shall we meet ami a, licet ae er to sever? When shall Priace wrasatheliii nhsrta Mound at foreverr Upon which Mrs. Lane turned around
and exclaimed: 44 You and Paris run along a little ways aad see if you can see anything of him." "Til go," aaidElihu. I go. said Hiram. Ellhu wore an apron over his tronsm .a t a
era, ana Jduram was a luzxy-oeaaea youth yet In the thraldom of a yellownannel petticoat and calico gown, with a drawing-string. Their feet were bare on the puncheon floor. "You needn't any of you come," said Paris, setting his diuwr-backet inside the door. 44 Tm going to ride back on the load." Mrs. Lane turned to silence the clamor which Elihu and the baby set a a. a .
up; ana netsey ran sner ner eswiaui without his leave. They had Urudged so many miles together to and from school; and knew right well the necessity of each other's companionship. Paris was not afraid of bears in the woods, but it afforded him satisfaction to say so to Betsey, and
to rehearse his piece as they went along, to make bjuisclf a litt. surer and sicker of it, It was culled from his Second Reader, and was about the Silent Traveler, a bear that traveled all night with a man in a stage-coach. " 'This is a very warm coat you have on.' " droned Paris, emphasismg every word. "Pap ain't eomSn'," said Betaey.drawing his attention to the fact that the road was clear as far as they could see. Dusk was sifting thick around them. One could not be mire that a tall stump was not another Silent Traveler. The foliage looked thin yet, for no leaf was the broad and own hand it would be a
month later: but loamy smell, with now a tincture of penny royal and now a breath of sycamore, came to their nostrils. Do you think mother's scalrtf inquired Betsey, as they pursued the turns of the wood-road in which their father's wagon-wheels had left deep cuts. 44 Ho!'1 scouted Paris. But site said he ought to be home.'' quivered Bctaey, on whom the humid evening was not without its effect. "Well, an' ain't he cominT' said Paris. 44 Yonder' s the wagon now. 1 can beat you to itf" Betsey grasped her skirts wd accepted the chaiuntge. The spatting of their feet in the soft road might bare startled the farm horses to a faster gait wan a walk, for no hand held the lines which were wrapped around one of the standards, and no father was to be discovered on the load
