"NOTHING SUCCKKDH LIKE SI C'CESS/' DANBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1885. An Uncommon Proceeding. 'How eold it is growing,' said Miss Wait, Urn teacher of tbe common school in tho then brisk Jitlle manufacturing village of Shattuokvillc, as she tied on her soft bluf\lood, buttoned her warm lfeukyd at tly*r Window tfetauiote of the #ot ovet contuodums or attrM»*c, but snug School .room, looked her dottle and carefully shut the damfiCV of'flfottir-ugnt wofflrsiove, pre paratory to Quitting her domain of la bor for the night. Una as she picked up her rubber over-1 snow and stooped to draw thein over | her shapely kid boot, aho cogitated : 'Oh, dear! Tommy Howe's red j toea sticking so pathetically through I those old guping shoes fairly bauut me- 1 I wonder if, in all this prosperous, busy 1 village, there is no way of getting that j poor child decently clad. L must.think it oyer and see what I cau do about it.' | Twenty-four hours later the leading I man ot the village, aud the owner of the little factory there, who, years before, when a poor boy, had stranded down from Vermont to this litt'o hamlet, ec centric and brusque, but kind hearted, keen eyed, and observant of all that was going on within hir domain, was walking along the street arid met a bright eyed and sprightly lad of 10 j speeding ahead with that amusing, un- j conscious, consequential air that a boy j carries wit!: his first brand-new pair ot , boots. Old Sam 1 Whittier, a* this gontle- | man vru familiarly culled, not by rea- j son of advanced ago by any means, but | because of his supremacy as the mill j owner and employer of all the help in I the hauilet, took in tho situation at. a I glance, aud callud oat to the absorbed | child, # 'iluilo, youngster where d'yo get thelu fellers!' 'Teacher gave them to me, fir,' and tho lad's tatterad e»p caiue quickly ort, i and be stood with it m his hand. I 'Does alio buy Uoot.\ toj jtll the boys ! ia the (porfcif out 'Guess not; but she bought Joe liriggs a speller and Jane Cass an I arithmetic, and she gives away stacks of slate pencils and paper and ink, and such things ' 'What made her go and buy thorn nice boots for you ?' 'She said she wanted to, sir; and when I said I had no money to pay hef for them, she said she'd rather be paid iu perfect lessons; and I will try my best to pav for them in that way, you may be sure, sir.' 'Pretty good sort of a teacher, is she, bub ?' 'Oh, yes, indeed! I guess she must bo the best teacher that ever lived, sir —she tells us about so many things that we never knew befoie; anil sho wants us to be good and honest and not tell lies, and she rays wo shall be men and women by and by, and sho wauts us boys to know something so we can own factories our own selves some time. The other teachers we've had only heard our lessons aud let us go, but she's so different!' 'Well, well, bub. 1 shall havo to think this business over a little. Now run along, and go to scwtchin' over tbcm perfoot lessons.' I don't suppose you'll find a person in Shattuekvillo a bettor judge of perfect lessons, or how much tjicy are worth, both to tho teach er and to the Echolar, than 'Old Sam' Whittior. So, bub, look after your ways, and 1 shall look after you.' The next morning a littlo note writ ten in a coarse bus is ess baud was dis patched to the teacher by tho hand of one of the ohildren. It ran as fol lows : 'Miss WAIT : I havo heard of some rather uucoinuiou procoeodings on your part as a teacher toward your scholars. I would liko to inquiro of you person ally ae to particulars. Will you do me the favor to run over to my bouie di. rcctly after tbe close of your school this aftoruoon. 'SAMUEL WIHTTIER.' 'What can I have donot' thought that little teacher, in ouoli a perturbed state of mind that ahe corrected Johnny Snow's mistake in his multiplication by telling him seven times nine was fifty four. Indeed, sho let tho mistake go to long that cyery little hand belonging to tho sccopd primary class was stretched up in a t'rcniy of excitement ' Let mo sec: what is it 1 bsvo dono the past week? 1 switched Bobbie Itaker pretty 6tnartly, to be sure—and I kopt Sam Woodruff after sohool—mid I kept Mariot; Fisk in from recess for whisper- j ing. but I must keep order. Well,, dear mo, I have triod to do my duty,' aud I won't worry:' and Miss Wait resolutely wont back to 'seven times nine,' ami so proceeded in the usual lOUtiDO. ; But she ate 110 dinner that noon, and had » decided headache n« she orosacd tho big bridge oter the hill to tho mill owners residence. 'I shall not baok down in anythirg where my alcat duty aud self respect are involved,' thought she. 'I have set up a certain ideal as U: what a teach er of these little go/fioon schools ought to be, and I my 'Jiud, good courage and health not forsaking j me, bring myself as near to it as possi- I sible. Moreover, I will not consider, in tbo premises, whether the scholars arc children of tbo rioh or learned, or of tbe poor ignarant. For tho time beiug i.tjod has placed in my care ragged, dirty littlo wretohes of a factory village, as well Is cleau, woll-Aesscd, attractive , children.' 'Good evening, good evening, ma'am,' said 'Old Sam' Whittior, in bis gruff way, meeting the teachor at tho door. 'As I said in my note to you, I heard to-dny of ,-omo rs>ther uncommon pro ceedings 011 your part. I saw, ma'am littlo Tommy llowo in a now pair of boots this morning. Do you know how be came by them !' 'I bought tbcm for himj Mr. Whit tior,' wondering whether the local magnate suspected the poor obiid of stealing. 'Oh, you did ! Aro you in the habit of furnishing your scholars with such attiehs ! Was the providing of boots a part of your business oontiect with the committee? If it was, 1 cau put you in tho way of buying boots at wholesale in Boston, where I got my supply for my store.' •It Will uot be necos aty, sir,' re plied the teaol.er, with dignity, '1 thank you for your kind oiler, howev- 'Why did you furnish boots in this particular case, if 1 may inquire?' 'The lad is very poor. His mother has her hands full with tho smaller children. ia learning rapidly; I noe uiitrki. cl tc. - . I'll gen«c in him. It would be a pity to havo him taken out }f school at this time when ho is s > much ongaged. Should he coaUu uu coming clad as he was in such weather as this he would be ill soon. I could not take tho risk in cither case.' 'Are you able to lot your heart get tho better of you in this way?' 1 havo my wagos only,' replied the young woman, with dignity. 'Then you probably will have to retrench not a little in your own expen- ses.' •If 1 do it will harm no one's purse or pride but my own. In this instance it may bo the matter of a pair of gloves or an ostrich tip with me. With him tho little act may mako a difference that Bhall bo lasting through time and eternity.' 'You have bcon attending that school over to South Hadlcy, 1 hear ? •Yes, sir.' 'Have you been through it,or gradu ated, as they call it?' 'Oh, no; I have attended but two terms. But I ain fully dctoriniued to complete the course.' 'Hum—all right. Miss Wait, you i seem to bo doing some good work among the children over the river there. I am going to think it all over ; but look hero—if any more of those littlo rascals need boots, lot me know. I shall con sider it a privilege to provide for them. Vou kiow 1 can obtain them at whole sale—ha' ha! ha! and the now greatly relieved teaohar's interview with the luill-owner ended. 'lfshegoeson teiohmg on and off, and then taking a term on and off at Mount Holyoke, she can't gnidnato for years,' ruminated Old Sam Whittior, as ho watched her tripping off over tho hill; 'it's ridiculous.' And so it came to pas*, when Miss. Wait was paid her small salary at tho end of tho term, sho found in tho cnvci. lope containing the order on tbe town treasurer a check with a slip of paper piuncd to it, reading thus: •Tbis may bo an uncommon proceed ing but I thoogbt it over and havo con eluded that yon had better go rieht along m your studies at South Hadley until )0U graduate. Atcr that, with your pluck and principles yon will bo able to invest in boots or books, or in any way yon sec fit. Very truly yours, 'SAMUEL WHITHER.' I leave thU true little sketch without comment. It earrios its uwu lesson, botii to s'l-nggln- joung (uacher* with hearts aud brains, and to prosperous men of affairs, who may lend a helping hand to deserving ones. Fed 111 in on Ground f.laiv A Montreal special of the 28th Sopt. j says: C'borUs W llsos, who resides on j City Couuoittov'street, is possessed of a young ami Wautiftil itife. The couple j move iu the best society. Some time i sgo'tbc hatband became vpddcuiy aud uarfbeountably afflicted with a queer illness, no consulted his physician, who, while treating him the best of his ability, was unable to enlighten him as to the manner iu which he had Con traotl'T t'e diseasd. "/Jim> VVi'son," howovor, iu spite of tbe efforts his of mod- I ical adviser, continued to grow worse | until an astounding revelation solved I tbe difficulty. It appears that Mrs. Wilson was cu- ; amored of Bertie Smith, a highly re- ' spcctable young man with whom she spent some time at Murray Bay, in j company with a Mrs. Beaudry, lately u ■ widow, who had also found a lovor iu j tho person of a well known alderman, j Affairs were progressing swimmingly un- til Mr. Smith, father af Bertie, beoorn- j ing alaimed at tho extravagance of his ! son, conceived the happy idea of opoa- I ing his trunk, when to his surprise lie | came across a number of letters from , Mrs. Wilson, in which she frequently ( stated that she wns slowly doing away j with Mr. Wilson (her husband) by uJ-j ministering to him doses oi gronmi i glass. This was a horriblo discovery for him and not daring to appioach Mr. Wilson, he went to the lattcr's brother-in-law,! a well known contractor, and confided ; to biui the letters. He lost no tiiuo ir.; calling upon his afflicted brother-iu-law, I who had already tbo appearaiico of u | man in the last stages of consumption,' and revealed to him the secret of hi illness. Sir. Wilson could not be pro- i I vailed upou, however, to mistrust the j affections of his wife, but when the let- j tors were produced and ho recognize.', . her handwriting and road the endearing j terms in which sho addressed YiunL'J Smith, together with her descriptions oj' how she was progression with her worn of slow murder, he gave in. Ho finally decided to leave his wife iu the hanus of his brother-in-law to do as ho thought best. The guilty and inhuman wife, hearing that her muidorous plans had been discovered and that her husband knew all, decided to novor again sou his face and hurriedly left tho city, thereby avoiding prosecution. Sho is now in Boston, stopping under an assumed name at ouo of tbo principal hotels. Fullure* Iu UuNlncttst. The man who haa never failed in busi ness can not possibly know whether lie is honest or not, cai not possibly know whether ho has any 'grit' in him or is worth a button. It is the man who fails and tlica riics who is really great in his way. Petor Cooper failed in making hats, J failed as a cabinet maker, locomotive | builder and grocer; but as often as be I failed he 'tried and tried again,' until he could sttnd upon his feet alone, then crowned the viotory by giving $1,000,- 000 to help the poor boys iu tioio to come.
