Let’s be back iu fifteen minute*. The boys reparated to go ou tbeir sever al errands, each wondering of what use wood sawr, axes aod abovela could be In tbs play. Rut Ohurlie was a favorite with them all, and they fully believed in his promises, and were soou assembled again. Now, said be, Widow Maude, iu yonder cottage, baa gone to a neighbor's to sit up with a siok child. A roan hauled her some wood to-day and I heard her tell him that union* *h got someone to saw it to-night, aLe would have nothing to make a fire ol in the morniug. Now we could saw and split that pile of wood just as cc sy as we could make a i now man ou her door step, aud when Mis. Maudes comes home she will be most agreeably surprls •df • • > v Due or two of the boys objected, but the majority of llictu began to appreciate his fiiu, sud to experience that Inward satis faction and joy that always results from well doing.

Aud wheu they had done this, st great w* their pleasure and sails taction, that one ol them who objected at first, proposed that they should go to a neighboring ceipcuter's shop where plenty ol shaving* could be bad for carrying them away and each Intiig an sunlui. The pioposltiou was readily accepted, and this done they re paired to their several homes, more than satisfied with the "tun of the evening." And the next morning when tho weary wtdow returned from watching hy the sick bed and saw wliut was done, the was pleasantly surprised, and alteiwaids when a neighbor (who find umdiecrved witness ed tho labors ot the boyr) told hei bow It was done her leivmt invocation, “God bless Ihe boys I was, ol iuell, if they could have beard it, abuudaut reward tor their labors.

The next day llio store was throng ed with applicants, and among them n queer looking folio or, accompanied by hiv aunt, iu lieu of faibless parents by whom lie bad been abandoned. Looking at ihl little waif, the merchant In this store promptly said : "Can't take him ( places all lull. lie,ides he's 100 suialh" 1 know lie's small, says tha woman, but he is willing and lalthful. There waa a twinkle In the hoy’* eye* which made the merchant think again. A paiUier In the firm voluntroied the remark that he did not aeo what they v.smed ol suclt a by; he wnan’t bigger than a pint of cider. Hut alter consultation, the hoy waa set to work. A lew day* later, a call waa made on the boys In the Here lot some cne to stay ail night, Tin piompi iespoo*c ol the Ul us fellow coaliasted well with the tt'luc lance of the others, in the middle ol the ulgul, the merchant looked In to see If all was right in the shire, and presently dis covered hie youlhiul pto’.ege busy reinsur ing labels. 1 did not ieil you to work at night I said the merchant. i know you did not toil me to ; but I thought 1 might at well be doing some thing. In the morning, the cashier got order* to doubla that boy's wages, 'lor be was willing.” Onty-a lew weeks elapsed before a show of wild navels passed through the •treat?, and very naturally ad hand* in the store rushed to wines* the spectacle. A thief saw bis opportunity, and entered In ibe rear door to seize something, but i.i a twinkle found htmsall clutched by the di minutive clerk aforeiaid,and alter a severe struggle, captured. Not only wa jobbery prevented, but valuable srtic'cs* stolen trom other stores were discover*!. When asked by tbe merchant wby be stayed be hind to watch whan all the others quit tbeii wotk tbe reply was, “You 101 l roe never .to leave the store whan others were abeeot, and I thought I'd stay.” * Double that boy’s wages, he i* willing and faithful."
