THE BOY IN THE COUNTRY.
BY JOHN MII.XH.K.
If a boy has the love for nature,
he has that which, both in the bud
and its development, will be a source
of the highest pleasure. There are
but few who do not take delight in
an occasional trip to the country,
and the visions of tramps through
the woods, and of fishing poles, are
among the brightest of youth.
Sentiment may have much to do
with this, and often, after the boy
becomes a man and enters upon the
every day strife that is required of
him, be loses this zest for the coun¬
try, and looks back upon his former
feelings as merely childish.
But happy is the boy with whom
this love grows and strengthens with
his advancing years; and happier
still for him if he should live either
in the country or where lie could en
joy country privileges. He will have
pleasures that inci ease- with the us
mg and never clog.
Starting out for a walk, oven on a
winter's day, with eyes and cars op
en, he enjoys the cold atmosphere,
and draws in the oxygen with do
light as it puts him in aglow.
The ground may be covered with
snow, except in some bare patches;
but here are revealed mosses and
lichens, which he studies with profit
as the representatives of plants that
winter does not kill, and that have
their habitat over theVhole globe.
The bare trees suggest to him rest
preparatory to the working time of
spring, while the evergreens that
adorn the hills not only beautify the
landscape, but are wind-breaks to
protect their surroundings from the
keen and stormy blasts, and a covert
for the birds that abide with us the
year round. .
He will learn, too, that more birds
are resident here in winter than
those unacquainted with the fact
would suppose. The owls will hoot
both in January and July; the crows
though of different species from our -
summer corn-field birds, have their
daily flights for food, and return to
their ’-oostiug place at night, and
hawks skim lue skies every clay. The
song-sparrows sing on bright days,
and no note of bird is more pleas
ing. The snow-birds feed on the al
der seeds along the creek, and the
cardinal or red-bird whistles from
the honilock thicket.
As he passes through the outskirts
°f fb e woods, he may see some little
brids impaled on a thorn-bush, and
lx- knows who put them there. It
was the work of the shrike, or biilch
er-bird—a cruel method of providing
food for the future, but natural, and
? ** ** * ... .....*
Ins instinct.
'i’lic frozen brook comes in for its I
share of observation. Stooping dow n
he may hear the rippling waters
murmur as they move along under
their icy cover. He will think of the
fishes sleeping beneath the stones or
imbedded in the sand, biding God’s
wakening time,
Ilis extended walk continues to
open fresh sights, which only thc
short day brings to a close as it warns
him home,
But spring is the halcyon time for
the boy who enters into the spirit of
nature. He is on the looUbut for the
first returning bird and the first wild
flower. The black-bird’s coming is a
much-talked-over event, and when
the familiar chatter of thc advance
party is beard from the tops of
pine-trees, long tbeir favorite resort,
the visions of spring arc before him.
lie has enough to do from this time
to keep watch of the coming birds,
'I’lie blue.bird soon enlivens him
with its cheerful voice and the rob
in says, “How d’ye do?” before he is
out of Vied on some March morning,
Then follow in rapid succession the
swallows, wrens, orioles, and that
matchless songster, the wood-robin.
The frog “peep” on the first warm
evening, and his feelings are in sym¬
pathy with their humble orchestral
music.
i School becomes irksome to the boy
as liis mind wanders to the iiill sides
srtid meadows, for he knows that on
the one he will find anemones, blood
Mots, liver-worts, and sweetest of all,
trailing arbutus, while in the low
grounds are the swamp-pinks and
spring-beauties.
He looks tip his fishing'taeklc, and
joyous the Satnfdv.y when he goes
for a day’s tramp after the chubs and
sunflsh. The butter-vups and daisies
return to delight him with their fa¬
miliar presence, and as he walks
along the well-known paths, and sees
the trees putting on their summer
green, bo thinks no life can be pleas¬
anter than his.
He times the coming of the fruit*
tree blossoms, and can tell you if
they are earlier or later than last
year: and watches interestedly the
show they make for his next season’s
eating.
Nothing escapes bis eyes, on land
or in the sky, that has a personal in¬
terost for him.
When summer comes his joys is at
its height. No school to go to but
that of nature—he is free as a bird,
lie wakes early, is on the move all
day, and goes to bed weary and hap
py
His bunts in the bay-field and
through the woods, after berries, or
what else he may find, his daily swim
in the creek, his homeward joy with
his spoils—are all sweet in their on
joyment, and rich in after memories,
The migratory birds, flitting
ward, give him a momentary pang,
lor be will miss them; but lie is too
full °f nresent things to mount their
loss long; and, besides, they will
turn—they are not gone forever.
With the coming frost and falling
of the leaves, the country-boy, like
the squirrel, hastens to gather up his
winter’s supply of nuts, to be fit com
pany for apples around the cheerful
fi reside.
And now arc collected the beauti
autumn lea\es and glasses, with |
to deoratc the home; and he '
^ nows " here the prettiest are ;
to 1,0 founJ - |
IIis skatt ‘ s and too > must 1,0 i
loolt( ‘ d after, for he may soon need j
Hittni. 'Die hoy that looks ahead is :
generally the thrifty man. j
Thus ends the year, that has been j j
so full of solid pleasure and real ac
quire.,.cuts mental and physical to him. He strength, has gained and j
done it in his own way.
Boys educated after this manner,
as accompaniments to judicious
school routine, obtain knowledge of
great practical use, and, thougk they
may not distinguish the nice ties of
Greek punctuation or Latin verses
equally with those whose- forced in
tellect may render these studies eas
ier, they are fuller of facts, and bet-,
ter prepared by observation to think
their way through the world; aild |
their healthy bodies and bright |
minds will make life thoroughly
joy able as it passes by them.

His Old Mother.
The impulse of pity is sudden in
its response as to seem independent
of the will. It answers the touch of
misery, as the ha>*p replies to the
hand," nistantaneeusly. When the
eyes of suffering look into the eyes
of the pitiful, in a moment there is
a transfusion of sympathy-two oi
one, for they feel together, The
following pathetic story, of an old
mother seeking the bedside of her
dying son, well illustrates the instan¬
taneous and transferring power of
pity:
She was poorly clad, and shivered
as she sat down near the stove and
wrung her blue, rough fhtgedf, to
warm them.
“I wonder—I wonder if I will get
there in time,” she mumbled over
and over again. “Poor boy! He
was always good to mo, md I won¬
der if I will be with him when it
comes.”
“Ticket,” said the conductor.
The old woman opened her bas¬
ket, and was a long time in looking
over it., and when she got through
she was very white, and said in a
hesitating voice to the conductor,—
“Stop the train and put me off. 1
bought my ticket yesterday and put
it in my purse, but I have forgotten
my purse, and left it home. O sir!
am so sorry, but I am going to St.
Louis to see my boy who worked in
a foundry till yesterday, when a
great wheel fell over on him, and!
crushed him so badly they say lie’ll -
<1 ie. but 1 have forgotten my peek- 1
et-book, and now I shall never see . j
him again in this world. Pitt me
off, but I don’t know how in the world j
I will get. back home or go on.”
T he pleasant ridges on her face
were drawn up into corded lines, the
blue veins stood out in great knots,
and she clenched her lingers in ago
iky* as the tears started from her
eyes.
Several of the passengers were \
looking on, and when the conductor
passed cn as if lie had lost his moth-’
er, his great hand grasping his punch
tremblingly, and his eyes brimful, a
quiet, big-hearted man whispered to !
him, and then went through the ear
ahead .of him asking for half-dollar
contributions, but the passengers
would not give, and as the train
slowed up at the next station the ,
conductor walked up to her, with a j
look of sympathy, and gently put j
his hand on her shoulder. j

Too Late. - ( ‘ry
A story is told as authentic, of a
young man in the Highlands of
Scotland, who became a drunkard,
a gambler, and, in the expressive
Scotch phrase, a “ne’er do-well.”—
Ilis father owned a small farm which
had been in the family for two hun¬
dred years. But to save Jock fikun
the consequences of his misdoing, he
was obliged to mortgage it far be
yond the possibility of redemption.
The old man sank under the dis¬
grace and misery, and died, leaving
his wife, two or three children, and
worthless Jock. But the shock of
his death brought the boy to his
senses. He foreswore cards and whist
ky, came home, and turned into hard
work. He toiled steadily for years.
At last his mother was “struck with
death.”
Jock, now a middle-aged, grizzled
farmer, stern and grave, was sent
for in haste. lie stood in silence by
her death bed a moment, and then
broke forth: , ....
“Mither! mither! gin ye see fey
ther there tell him the farm’s our
own agen. An’it’s a’ rechtwi’ me.”
The story reminds us of Dr. John¬
son, who went when lie was an old
man to stand in the market place .of
rttoxeter, his gray board bared to
the pelting ram, in bitter remem¬
brance of some act of disobedience
to his father on that spot when he
was a bey.
But ot what avail are these tea'rs
or acts of atonement when the bid
lather or mother whom we have'hurt
and slighted so cruelly is dead? Do
they see? Do they forgive? Who
can say?
“It is only,” said a mother lately,
“since my own children speak to me
with rudeness and contempt, that I
understand how great the debt wqs
which I owed to my mother, and how
poorly I paid it.”
Many a poor girl who reads theje
words, who treats her mother as a
member of the famiiyTw'lio does the
work of a servant without a servant’s
w;q>es, or a lad who flings about the
money which the father is fast spend¬
ing his feeble life to earn, will aivak
cn some day to utter their remorse
hi an exceedingly bitter cry; to
which, alas, there can come no an¬
swer—Selected.
