THE BOY b OAlllOr VJblsOJiAXMLt.
A LIFE LESSON.
""ET Out."
The man who said "Get out," stood upon
the upper step of a fine house in a thriving
town, and a terrible frown was upon his
hrnw. He was a merchant in a small wav.
or what is generally termed in the country
a "store keeper." He was well-to-do in
the world : of middle age, and OHile proud,
Tbe person wbowsa thus peremptorily
ordered by Teter Gooch to "get out" was a
boy fair-baireJ, bright eyed boy, of
fourteen years. His lips trembled as he
stood upon the graveled wa k and gazed
the man in the face, and a fiery glow suf-
fused his handsome features, lie held a
small bnndle in bis hand, which he clutch
ed with ervaua force.
Get out," repeated Mr. Gooch
i am going, air," the boy said, proudly;
and then sinking Ins vr ion to a low. passion-
ate tone, be added, "But let me lelljou
sir, that 1 will yet live to be revenged upon
you! As sure as both live, and I have
sense and rcasoa left, 1 will have ven
geance l'
"Get out," thundered the man, making a
demonstrative movement with his foot.
The boy spoke not another word, bet
turned quickly away, and was ere long be-
yond tbe bounds of the village. He walked
en until be reached a small valley, out of
sight of any human habitation, and here he
sat down upon a stone, by tho roa isiao.

with the dust of travel, aud whoso wet brow
and labored breathing told that he was
won lud weary.
"Why do you weep thus, my clu.dT the
old man asked, in a weak tremulous lone
The boy poidercd a raotaeut, aud then
answered
"Beoause I have been abused, sir."
"Abused 1 And who has done this?"
"Peter Goooh did it, sir. Ho has abused
me a long while."
"l'eter Gooch? Who is bo?"
"He keeps a store iu the village.''
'What village! '
"The one just over tho bill bore Day

"And hew baa he abused you my child?"
"In every way. He has beaten me, and
eursed me; aud ealled me names; and made
sae sleep in the barn; and made me go
without my supper; nd and '
"That's enough, my sou. Aud now tell
me why l'eter (iooch has done this."
"He bas done it beoause because "

shall do tbae harm. Now tell me all."
Tbe boy hesitated a while, and dually

in which she saw her, chill, and seind a
stick to destroy tho reptile Th? snake slow
ly retreated, showed ii- lonuo, and b.ssed
at the mother. The child criud, and begged
so hard of its psrent to desist, lhat she al
lowed tho snake to retreat lo :ts hiding
