In the thriving village of Holly- thoni there was a church, a jostof fiee, a coujile of stores and a district school; the sclntol was taught by a lady, who had . a widowed mother and brother and sisters to assLst in supporting. For the sake of economy, Miss Eva "boarded around" among the scholars, and was considered a par agon among the teachers. Her fa-. ther haij been a ; respectable me chanic, but died after aliout two years illness, which bitterly impov erished his family. Eva, however, (she being the eldest,) received a good, plain education before the great calamity came upon them, ml unselfishly began the work of ,sisting in the support. The last week previous, to the holiday j vacation she had been boarding with a Mrs. Carpentjer, who was making gigantic orepara tions lor guests she was expecting from New York.' i "Yon, never met my brothers, Eva,' she said, and then began to give thelyouiig teacher a ilescrip tiou ol them. "There's Sam, George, John, the youngest, and such times as they have when they get hero, and rust r ate, as they call it. But, dear nie I don't get much rest or peace, lor they are like a pack ol boys let loose, from school. Such tricks and pranks no one ever saw. The last t ime they 'visited me alto gether, .joint iind Sain actually cut a pane of glass from my window and pelted George with snow out 111 v best room.-' You see there, is al ways a regular strife for that par tietdar room, for the bed is a spring one, and they don't sleep in any other in the city, But they don't get it this time, that's certain, for I intend, to keep you in that room, and so end the controversy, I am so afraid they will break or ruin something, that I am glad you are here. It may keep them in check a little." "I had just as soon occupy some other room, Mrs. Carpenter, and do not wish 'to incommode your broth-eisTr-have no right to do so." 'No you shan't Eva,',' pereumto ril.y exclaimed her i hostess. "And w hat is the use of your going home vacation week ! You can stay here just as well as not, and do your sew ing 011 my machine. 'Your mother has got enough mouths to feed, I ;guess, and .won't miss yours." ! - '- ! The subject was dropped, and the entire household retired early, for on the morrow the brothers, young, irilent and full'ol life, were to be there. But without sending any word of t heir intention, they had concluded to. take, the evening train, which would land them at llolly tliorne about lied time. John and George did so, and when safely eared m the cars, began to specu late about the absence of Sam-. 2s"o reason on earth why. he should not be '.along," said George. "No; for he told me this morning that -hi' I certainly - would be on hand,'' said John. I can't make it out; unless he. has taken the live o'clock train by mistake" ; Not a"' bit of it," laughed John, w ho fancied he uvderstood I he en- fire programme'. - "It is 'more than likely that he.lootvthe- tram 011 pur pose to get Hannah's spare bed room, and ..make us to take, up with straw lick ami feathers.". 1 didn't think t hat, but I reck on vou are rignr. we tnusi ou tlive lo got him out somehow ," "Bet your life on that.'" The Inotliers put tlreir heads t ether, and laughed merrily over ' i- . -11- some sciieme ior 0111 wining nn, anil accordingly,, when the train reached 1 tolly t borne about eleven o'clock, they approached the house in a very stealths 'manner.' Climbing the fence..-in the rear, Hies solljy opened, a w imlow and gained access to the pantry, svhere they demolished a nice pie and a couple olj doughnuts..' Then with appetites (apprised they "ijeiuovod their boots and -prepared to ex ami'ue t he .best room.

The faint rays1 of the (noon disclosed a chair tilled with clothing, and they could distinctly trace the outlines ol a toriu iltetieatu l h?. ocu-clot lies, and had not the remotest, idea but tli.d Sam was enjoying sweet re pose upon Hannah's bed, ;A lew whispered words were ex changed 'find then, as softly and light ly as if lud . iih dow n they drew near. . !

"Blessed if I know," said George "thought it was Sam; so we thought we'd give him a dose of snow for getting into the best bed and trying to euchre us. Quick, I be lieve she ha.s fainted." "Just like you," scolded Hannah, as she assisted in depositing Eva upon the bed from which she had been unceremoniously taken ; "you begin your tricks on each other be fore you get fairly in the house. Clear out!" Long before she svas dene with her tirade, her discomfited brothers had betaken themselves dosvn stairs, svhere they almost svent into hysterics over the joke. "A pretty kettle of fish," said George,, rolling over the floor, and letting out peal after peal of laughter. . "1 should think it svas," said John, holding his sides. "Oh, my. But svlTat the dickens is to be done about it, and who do you .suppose it is, George !" "Some guest' of Hannah's, of course, and young and pretty. at that.

I would actually give myself ass ay this very moment and throw in something to boot. What sve are to do I can't say, but I lielieve I shall dig out of this place and get back to this city before morning. I ain't got the courage to face the the music, so I'll get up and go." He Iwgaii. hastily jmttiug on his boots, and svould have put his threat into execution, but for the appearance of' Hannah, svho at once asserted her authority. "You are not going a single step; but I don't wonder that you feel ashamed -of yourselves. What on earth possessed you, is more than I can tell.'' "That's right, Han, pitch "111, scold away, I'll take any amount just nosv, for I'm as meek as a lamb. But .who is it we have played so shabby a trick on V inquired George. "Trick! I should say it was. Why, it was Eva Stanley just as nice n young thing as ever lived. She is our school teacher, and this is her sveek to board here, and I knesv you boys would be squabbling over that room as usual, so I put her there, little thinking you svould come home in a stealthy svay." "Eva Stanley! Whew ! A pretty school inarm." And repeating his child," she said, though --with diii sister's words, gas e a lugubrious j culty keeping back her laughter, groan. !

Oh! dear, I am in sackcloth and ashes from this time henceforth and for ever," replied George, with another dismal groan. "Hosv on earth do you expect us to stay and take the consequences'' asked John, beginning to look serious. "I am for taking myself oil' instantly. I had rather lace a a masked battery than this pretty teacher, after making such fools of ourselves." "1 don't care if you had," answer ed his sister, indignantly. "The only svay is to brave it out, both of you, and apologize for your rude ness. She is not a bit stupid, but pleasant and nierrv, und no doubt you will have a jolly laugh over the atfair." I "But, Sam! how the duce ar sve to got along svith him? You knosv well enough Han, sve shall nes"er hear the last of it from him: and that it will be brought up at all times and in all places."

' "That," he said, 4ms a very easy, but it is also a very miMin waj of getting praised, of being regarded as a ''sale inyn." of lieing yiieli'Mitly successful," Nosv in nothing is this more true than with many, of om clergy of the present day, in reference to the temperance 'question. There is a good, fat vestryman, who is very gcMid at making up deficiencies iu the rector's salary, ami the "safe man" thinks it will be highly un safe to Hay what he lielieves about - 1 liquor dealing. It will never do for him to ask his people from Jhe chancel to subscribe ibr a temper ance paper, although it is the organ of the diocesan branch, because Mr. does not believe in temper ance principles; so, to Im on the "safe Hide," he persuade himself that tha Church is, after all the only. tcuiMrauce . wHiielv that, can reach the jieople, and thus he steers clear of the "fat vestryman" ami. the "temperance society," and lie comes very "uselessly sticeessful" jn his parish.
