"How cold it Is growing," said Miss Wait, the u*acber of the common school In the theu brisk little manufactoring village of Shattackvllle, Franklin County, Mass., as sbe tied on bar soft blue hood, buttoned her warm flannel cloak, looked at the window-fastenings of tbe not over-commodiousor attractive but snug school-room, locked ber desk, and carefully shut tbe damper of the airtight wood stove, preparatory quiting her domain of labor for tbe nigbt.

As sbe picked up ber rubber overshoes and stopped to draw tbem over ber snapely Kid boot, she cogitated,

"Old Sam Whittier, as this gentleman was familiarly called, uot by reason advanced age by any meant, but because of his supremacy as the mill-owner and employer of all tbe help in the hamlet, took lu tbe situation at a glance, and called out to tbe absorbed child: "Hullow, youngster! where d'ye get tbem fellers?" "Teacher gave them to me, sir," and tbe lad's tattered cap came quickly off, and he stood with it in his baud. "Does she buy boots for all the boys In tbe school?'' Was growled out. "Guess uot, sir but she bought Joe Briggs a speller and Jane t'ass an aritbtueUu, give* away stacks of slate pencils and paper and inkg and such.*' "What made ber go and buy tbem boots for

"Pretty good sort of a teacher, is she, bub?" "Oh, yes, indeed. I guess she must be the best teacher that ever lived sir—she tells us about no many thiugs tbtt we never knew before ana she wants us to be good and noneet and i.ot te'.l lies, and she says we shall be men and women by and by, and she wants us boys to know something so we can own factories our own selves some time.

So, bub, look after your wsvs,and I shall look alter you."

The next morning a little note written in a coarse bustiiesshand was despatched to the teacher by the hand of one of the children. It ran as follows: "Mn» WAIT—1 have heard of some rather uncommon proceeding* your part as a teacher toward youi souolar* 1 would like to4miuiro of you

"I shall not heck down In anything where my clear duty and self-reepectare involved," thought she. "I have eat up a certain ideal as to what a teacher of thee little enntmnn schools ought tn be, and I will, t?«d and my mind, good courage and health not forsaking me, bring myself as near to it a* possible.

Are you in tbe habit of furnishing your scholars with such articles? Was the providing of b^otsa part of your business contract with the committee? If it was. I can put you in tbe way of buying boots at wholesale in Boston, where I get

"Why did you furnish boots in this particulat case, if I may inquire "The lad is very poor. His mother has ber band, heart, and brain full with the smaller children. Tommy is learning rapidly I see marks of rare intelligence In Mm. It would be a pity to have hirp taken out of school at this time when be is so much engaged. Should be continue coming clad as be was in such weather as this be would be ill goon. I could not taae the risk in either case." "Are you

able

to let your heart get tbe

better of you in this way?"' '•I have my waget only," replied the young woman still with dignity. "Then you probably will have to retrench not a little in your own expenses." »!f I do it will barm no one's purse or pride but my own. In this instance it may be the matter of a pair of gloves or an ostrich-tip with me. With him tbe little act may mane a difference tbat shall be lasting through time and eternity." "You have been attending that school over at South Hadley, I heart" ii Y011 sir." "Have you been through it, or graduated as they call it? "Oh, no I have attended but two terms. But I am fully determined to complete the course." "Hum,—all right. Miss Wait you seem to be doing some good work among tbe children over the river there. I am going to think it all over hut look here, —if any more of those little rascals need boots, let me know. I shall consider it a privilege to provide tbem. You know I can get tbem at wholesale,—ha! bal and the now-greatly-relieved teacher's interview with the eccentric mill-owner ooclocl* "If she goes on teaching on and off, and then taking a term on and offat Mount Holyoke, she can't graduate for years to come," ruminated "Old Sam-' Whittier, as he watched ber tripping on over tbe bill "it's ridiculous."

And so it came to pass, when Miss Wait was paid her meagre salary at the close of tbat term, sbe fouud la the envelope containing the order on town treasurer a cheque with a slip of paper pinned to it, reading thus: "This may be an uncommon proceeding, but I thought it over and have to the conclUMion that you had better

CHRISTMAS IN A STOCKADE.

HOW THREE PRISONERS OF WAR DINED IN DECEMBER, 1864 From the New York Sun.

toe guests were rising from a dinner table which has been covered with tbe good things of the season, one of tbem said to the hostess: "No one could have eniowed a dinner more than I have enjoyed this.'' "John will not agree with you," turning toward ber husband "he insists tbat be helped to cook andeatadinner which tasted better than auy I have ever pre pared."

The guests joined in requesting the husbana to tell the story o* that dinner aud after they had moved to tbe sittingroom and were comfortably seated John began: "On tbe last Thursday of November, 1864, three of us sat In a shebang in tbe

"It wan lu the afternoon. We bad received our daily rations—about three tablespoon fills of gooxoe, or o6w peas, aud a little over a pint of corn mealbad cooked and eaten them, and were slttlnu 011 tbe ground floor of tbe shebang, our eyes listlessly turned toward a bas-relief upon tbe chimney, which was meant to represent a bum an figure. In a moment of art enthusiasm one of as, a Kentucky cavalry man bad fashioned it when tbe chimney was put up. it would have made a tobacconist's Indian splits its wooden sides witb laughter. But our thoughts were as shallow as our faces. "After a time tbe Iowa man spoke: 'Boys, it must be Thanksgiving day at home, and my folks are jost through their dinner.

CHRISTMAS HOBNISG

1864, after being long waited for, came at last. Tbe faint light of tbe moruing found us stirring. We bad bearded our fuel, saving a little every day. It was not an easy thing to do. for tbe daily fnei ration of ninety men was three sticks of pine curd wood of average sine. To this supply we bad added by pickiug up every splinter «s large as a toothpick and every chip as large as a 10-cent piece tbat we discovered in our wanderings about the stockade. "Tbe occupants of a shebang near our own, in addition to the usual cooking utensils—quart bottles and tin or sheetiron pans—poeseeed a gunboat. This was apiece of old roofing tin, made into a pan more than a foot long aud about six inches wide aud deep. The corners where tbe tin bad been cut off or turned were soldered with corn meal, it was not sightly, but was convenient. We bad bargaiued before for tbe use of this gunboat. "Tbe tire was lighted. Tbe gookas bad been soaked the nigbt before, and were now put in tbe gunboat covered with water, and the gunboat was set over tbe fire upon two mud bricks made (or tbe occasion. A watched pot may not boil, but a watched gunboat did, for three heads bent forward and hix eyes gazed Intently upon tbe contents of the vessel over the tire, until the water was bubbling and tbe peas dancing in and out among the bubbles. "At short intervals a few peas were taken out in a spoon and allowed to cool and a pea was taken by each of us and judgement given as to its being done. Finally we were unanimous in tbe opinion that tbe gookas werecooked enough. Meal was brought forth and stirred iu, and tbe podding was allowed to remain on tbe nra until it bad thickened, so tbat there was danger of Its being scorched. Tbe peas were dark skinned, and bad given tbe pudding a purplish hue. Tbe gunboat watt lifted off aud set ou the ground to cool. While we were waiting the fire was renewed. Corn meal saved for the purpose was put in a pan and thoroughly dried and browned. This corn coffee was divided into three portions, put in three quart kettles and

HO WTO OO TO SLEEP.

A contributor to Chamber's Journal who has been seriously troubled with insomnia gives the following as his method when troubled with sleeplessness upon retlreing: "Among tbe remedies tbat have been recommended for sleeplessness are—tbe repeating of poetry, counting ap to a hundred several times, etc. I have never heard, however, tbat such remedies were at all useful, and the reason Is, I think, obvious tbey keep tbe brain engaged when it should beat rest. For,a loug time therefore, 1 was anxious to discover some plan by which the tendency to ineutal activity would be lesseued and a favorable condltiou for sleep secured. I bad frequently noticed that wbeu engaged tn deep thought, particularly at night, there seemed to be (something like a compression of the\eyellds, the upper one especially, and tbe eyes themselves were apparently turned upward, as if looking in that direction. This invariably occurred and tbe moment tbat, by an effort, I arrested tbe course of thought and freed tbe mind from tbe subject with which it was engaged, tbe eyes resumed their normal position and the compression of tbe lids ceased. Now, it oocured to me one nigbt tbat 1 would not allow tbe eyes to turn upward, tut keep them determinedly in the opposite position, as if 1 oking down and, having done so for a short time, I found tbat tbe mind did not revert to the thoughts witb which it bad been occupied, and I soon fell asleep. I tried tbe plan again witb the same result and after an experience of two years I can truly say that unless when something specially annoying and worrying occured, have always been able to go to sleep very shortly after retiring to real. There may occasionally be s«nne difficulty In keeping the eyes iu the po*iit"n I have deecritied but a determined effort to 'do so is all tbat is required, and I am certian tbat if kept in the down-looking position, It will be foand that composure and sleep wilt be tbe result." 1

PLANTATION PHILOSOPHY.

"De man who eats apples in de dark mustn't let bis stomach be too pertlckler about worm holes."

He who judges de character of a passun by his clothes am bayin' a male by de sound of bis bray/' "While honesty am de bea* poller, doan' be too fa«t to express your candid opinyuu of yoor naybur." "Burnpe on a man's bead ftnay express his traits of character, but you kin And rot all yon want to know about bim by goin' on one excursion In his company." "What we do to-day am dan ir tomorrer.

and one a flat piece of sheet-iron for plates, and each bad a spoon. Not one of us would have been called a religious man, but we hesitated, looked at one another, bowed our hands, and were still. But it was only for a moment, and then the Kentuckian volunteered to act as host, and helped us aud himself. "when that dinner was over the contents of tbe gunboat and quart cups lad vanished, and it was just noon. After such unusual exertion we lay down, drew our blankets over us, and slept. We were awakened near nigbt by a neighbor who called us that we might get our rations. After returning to the shebang the Iowa man said: 'Boys, 111 think of that dinner as loog as I live. Why, I ain't hungry yet.'"

CHILDREN IN WINTER. Philadelphia Times. XXBBdSB IN THB HOC8B.

The maintenance of body temperature is an exceedingly important matter and it Is influenced markedly by tbe following circumstance*, vis., tbe state df the body, that is, whether at rest or active. Second, tbe food and clothing of tbe invalid, and lastly the temperature of tbe a'mosphere of the place in which the invalid is. Now, although the In flnence Of muscular activity on the body euiperature is not very maraed, yet is appreciable, for of a cold morning all instinctively quicken their pace, and doubtless all know well tbat a person who is exposed to severe cold will perish very mucb more quickly if be lie down than if be keep moving. For these reasons, then, Some in-door employment should be provided for the children, even if it is not more than toeaing a soft ball about the house.

It is very generally and doubtless correctly believed tbat fat foods are of mach assistance in maintaining the body temperature. It must appear then tbat such food is especially desirable in winter. Tbe same lis true, indeed, of heated substances generally. Soupa, mush and milk, and chocolate for drinking are

little

and sugar added to the mush and

milk, when it is about to be eaten, will, probably, cause some to take It who otherwise would not. Fruit, raw or cooked, used occasionally witb tbe morning meal, is also very bene^cial. It is probable that if the food of the dav were given at four meals tbe child would receive more benefit from it than from same food given at three meals, necessarily at longer intervals.

Woolen clothing generally is tbe best for outer garments the material known as lady's cloth would probably do very well. Mitts and leggings are very important, for with cold hands and feet it is hardly possible for tbe body generally to be comfoftable. Taking the hildren out is a very essential aud much neglected matter. Boisterous winds aud an out-door temperature of less than twenty-five degrees makes it necessary that a sheltered spot shall be sought for tbe airing if boweyer, it is impossible, to do as here suggested *ud the little folks must remain iu tbe bouse day after day, let them be kept in tbe sunny rooib the bouse, and if tbe bouse happens to have no sonny room in it. remember this, and when changing get a bouse wiib at least one sunny room. Twentyfive centB invested in a thermometer to bang in tbe room in which the children are kept will be a vCry good investment. For tbe sitting room a temperature of seventy degrees would do very well in tbe sleeping room a temperature of ten degrees less than tbat just mentioned would be right. When tbe rooms become too warm admit (he outer air by lowering tbe wiudow sasb one inch from the top, and raisiug It thesaine from the bottom. Drafts of air through any apartment are very undesirable.

COLD.—A

After one bottle of Hop Bitters bad been taken sbe was tbe isiest and bealtbiest girl iu the town, with vivacity and cheerfulness of miud gratifying to her frieuds.

OHOST STORIES.

In Olney, 111., the apparition of a woman six feet in helgbt, wearing burial clothes, was seen sitting on the steps of tbe Moravian church recently as the congregation was dismissed.

M. Uinphry, who lives In a house in Stefft-nsville, Mo., once occupied by a suic.de, »ays he was visited a few nights ago by a ghost tbat revealed to hitii the biding place of a valuablediamonJ ring. The ghost told him he s»ys, to look under tne floor at tbe bottom of tbe stairway. He looked there and found the diamond ring.

There is said to be a haunted house In Silver street, San Francisco, occupied by a mau named Huberts. He says tbe doors are opened by unseen hands, the lights suddenly extinguished iu one of the rooms, picture-frames moved on their hangings, there Is loud knocking on the walls, and the piano plays "Sb-tfl we gsther at the river?' in the still hours of the uight. ^4

In Bergen county, New Jersey, Is an old -tone mansion said to be visited reglarly by spirits. Recently, while tbe family were awaiting tbe return of one of their number at midnight, a noise as of a falling body was heard in a room acro-s the ball. Tbe hail was brilliantly lighted, yet nptn opening the door the inmates beard tbe heavy steps of a man, who seemed to pas* tbe door and walk down the stairs. Wb«n the unseen man seemed to be about half wavdown stairs tbe noise of a per-ioti falling aud rolling to the bottom was heard. A murder was committed in tbe sitcbeu of this bouse about twenty years ago.

Ten years ago seven young women at halloween party at Montreal agreed to meet again on 'the same evening ten years after, the stipulation being "dead ago tbe orig 5 soddenl others survived, and at the recent bn loween anniversary a chair was left vacant for tbe missing one. Tbechair was draped in black, while on the table in front of it were some withered flowers from the grave of the dead girl. The Montreal Gazette tbus concludes tbe story: "Tbe young lady next to tbe empty chair spoke of a strange nervous sensation, bat this was not thought of at tbe time. Afte* tea they started for the parlor tbe young lady last mentioned leading the way and carrying In her hand the bunch of withered flowers. When «he opened the door sbe cried: "Look! look! and pointed to the parlor, where they saw distinctly a tail white Hgure standing at tbe door. She who bad first seen it retreated quick I v, and was just lexvlDg tbe dining-room by the side door from tbat room to tbe hall when sbe again saw tbe figure, and ber cry brongbt three of tbe others to the door, and all *aw It glide quickly along the hall from the parlor door to the door leading to tbe street, which seemed to open of itself and dese after tbe figure bad passed through."
