THE CALICO CLOAK.
j.
“ Have y m seen the new scholar ? ’’
asked Mary, Mark, a girl of twelve or
fourteen years, as t-ho ran to meet a
group of schoolmates who were com
ing towards the schoolhouse: “she
cuts the most comical looking figure,
you ever saw. Her cloak is made
out of calico, and her shoes are bro
gans, such as tbe meu and boys
wear. ”
“O, yes, I’ve’.oen her,’’ replied
Lucy Brooks ; “ she is anew wash
er-woman's daughter. I shouldn't
have thought “y. Brown would have
taken her into th'VAcademy; but I
suppose he like': the money that
comes through riuds as well as auv.
It is cleaner, ot course. ”
And the air rang with the loud
laugh of the girls. “ Come, let us go
in and examine her, ” continued Ma
ry, as they ase-nTed the steps of the
school-house. “ I’m thinking she will
make some fur for us.”
The girls went into tho dressing
room, where they found the new
scholar. She'was a mild, Intelligent
looking child, but very poorly though
tidily clad. The girls went around
her, whispering and laughing with
each other while she stood trembling
and blushing in one corner of the
room, without venturing to raise her
eyes from tip floor.
When tl I ■ entered tbe school they
found the li| !e girl was far in ad
vance of those •of her age in her stud
ies, and was placed in classes with
those twe or three years her senior.
This seemed, on the whole, to make
those girls who disposed to treat her
unkindly, ditlike her the more ; and
she, being of a retiring disposition,
through their influence had no friends
and went and returned alone.
“ And so you really think, ” said
Mary Lard, as she went up to the
little girl a few weeks after she en
tered the school, “ that you are going
to get the medal? It, will corres
pond nicely with your cloak.”
And tdof*caught, hold of the cape,
and held it, out for her, while the
girls around joined in the laugh.
“Calico Cloak get the medal! I
should like to see Mr. Brown giving
it to her! ” said another girl, as she
caught hold of her arm, and peeped
under the child’s bonnet.
The little girl struggled to release
herself, anfl when she was free, ran
home as fast as she could go.
“O, motper, ” she said, as she en
tered her jiiolher’s humble kitchen,
“do answer uncle William’s letter
and tell hiii we will come to New
York to livt! I don’t like to live in
Bridgeviile Tbo girls call me “Cali
co Cloak,’ ai 1 “Brogans,’’ and
you don’t know nother, how unkind
ly they trek m<!’’
“Lizzie, iny dear,’’ said her moth
er, “you mist expect to meet with
some who f ill treat you unkindly on
account of four poverty. Do right,
my child, :|nd you will eventually
come off conqueror. ”
Although Mrs. Leo tried to en
courage hoe child, yet she knew that
she had to meet with severe trials
lor one so Joung.
“But, mailer, they are al! unkind
tome,” replied Lizzie ; “ there isn’t
one who lovbs me, ”
And the child buried her face in
her hands ar.d sobbed aloud.
In Bridgeviile Academy there, were
few selfish, unprincipled girls, 3tid
e others joined them in teasing the
’e “ Calico Cloak, ” as they called
~’om thoughtlessness, and a !ov"
But they knew' no*

Twelve years after M;;s. T.eo and
her daughter left town, fa Mr. May
nard, a young elergymaj, came into
Bridgeville, and was sjfetled as the
pastor of the village elffrch. It was
reported at tho sewing circle, the
week following his ordination, that
it was expected lie would bring his
bride into town in a few weeks.
There was a great curiosity to see
her, and especially after it was re
ported that she was a talented young
authoress.
A few weeks after, Mr. Maynard
gratified their curiosity Wy walking
into church with his young wife lean
ing on his arm. She was a lady of
great intellectual beauty, and every
body (as they always are at iirst.)
was deeply interested in tho young
minister and Ids wife.
The following week the ladies
flocked to see her, and she promised
to meet with them at the next gath
ering of the sowing circle.
The day arrived, and although it
was quite stormy, Mrs. Deacon
Brown’s parlor was filled with smiling
faces. The- Deacon’s carriage was
sent to tho parsonage after Mrs. May
nard, and in due time arrived, bring
ing the'lady with it. The'sliaking of
hands that followed her arrival can
only be imagined by those who have
been present on such an occasion.
“How are you pleased with our
village ? ” asked a Mrs. Britton, after
tho opening exeicises were over, as
she took a seat bos'do Mrs. Maynard.
“ I like its appearance very much;
it certainly has iinprovad wonderful-
Jy within the last twelve years. ”
“ Were you ever in Bridgevillo be
fore ? ” asked another lady, as those
around looked somewhat surprised.
“ I was hero some months when a
child, ” replied Mrs. Maynard.
Their curios’ty was excited.
“Have you any friends here?”
asked a third after a moments silence.
“ I have not. I resided with my
mother, the widow Lee. We lived
in a cottago which stood upon the
spot now occupied by a large store,
on the corner of Pine street. ”
“The widow Lee?’’ repeated Mrs.
Britton; “ I well remember the cot
tage, but I do not recollect thename.”
“ I think I attended school with
you at the academy, ’’ replied Mrs.
Maynard; you were Miss Mary
Mark, were you not ? ”
“ That was my name, ” replied the
lady, as a smile passed over her fea
tures at being recognized; “ but I am
really ashamed that my memory lias
proved recreant. ”
“ I was known in the academy as
the little “Calico Cloak.” Perhaps
you car. remember me by that name.”
The smile faded from Mrs. Brit
ton’s face, and a deep blush over
spread her features, which in a few
moments was seen depending upon
the faces of others present.
There was a silence for some min
utes. When Mrs. Maynard looked
i p she found she had caused consid
erable disturbance among the ladies
of her own age, by making herself
known.
“ O ! I remember very well when
little “ Calico Cloak ” went to the
academy, ” said an old lady as she
looked up over her glasses, “ and I
think if my memory serves it" ' A ’
some of the ladies present
Mrs. Maynard an apolog
“ T had no intent*' -
dies, ’*■
re*”
lady, as she put In#handkerchief nn
dor her glasses. Ido not believe its
moral effect will be lost upon any of
us."
The old lady was right. Tbe sto
ry went from one to another, until it
found its way into the old Academy.
At tbe time, a little boy was attend
ing there, whose mother was strug
gling with her needle to give him an
education. The boys often made
sport of his patched knees and elbows
and lie would run home to his moth
er. But when the story of the “Cal
ico Cloak ” reached tho scholars, the
little boy ( fur bo was naturally a no
ble-hearted child ) became very pop
ular in tho school, and tho children
from that lime were very kind to lit
tle “ Patchey, ” as he had always
been called.
When Mrs. Maynard heard tho
story of little “ Patchey, ’’ she felt
that she was well repaid for all she
bad suffered in childhood.
