Wheff tticTewcher iok charge of ibe echoal, he noiice J (hut Ihe pupil, in mu i iy weather, were nccustomel :o enier the school room, nnd stamp the inuil upon the floor; or carry it lo their eats. aixi soil the lloor fur' h targe fpsiee nrotind I hem. Ps'o iweeping could clean such aflxr; ami. course, none had been nitempted ofiener licn once rVeek. Determined to mike tui at le nipt at reform, the teacher obt lined 4i piece of iron hooj), and nailing one end lo the door, he fastened the other tj a wal liul stake that he drove into ihe ground Kveijr child was required to scrape his shoes before be entered the room ; and the consequence ytrs that the true floor became visible Ihroagh the cmst thut corered it. The next step waff, to get a rug for the entry ; and a neat farmer's wife very read ily gave him an old nig, that she could spare. It did not take him long to induce the habit of scraping and wiping the shoes; and a lad or miss, who di I not do this, was soon noticed by the rest, and made to feel that he or'she had not done ad thai was required. Soon after the rug was introduc ed, the teacher ventured to hare the whole floor of the school room washod, not scour ed, for he had to do it himself, one Satur day a fiernotm, end washing Mas all he was competent to do. Whtn the scholars came, on Monday morning, it was evident thry were taken by surpri-e '1 hey had never seen. the like before; the very knots on the floor were visible ; and they gave several extra rubs and scrap s betore they ventured to set fool on the beauties so strangely exposed. This is always the case ; and we have known a man who ex ercised the muscles of his under jaw .by chewing tobacco, and who would have spirted the saliva, without compunction, on the floor of a school-room, running round a carpeted room like a crazy man, to find a place of deposit for his filth. So true it. is, that neatness begets neatness, and a- nice school room Is better treated by the untidy than a neglected one. The teacher thus introduced one thing after another, .taking cure not to go too fast; and, although lie had nor penalty for a breach of the lutes of neatness he introduced a public sentiment which restrained the pupils more effectual If than the rod : and, ns his own cximple vras.alwayi jnatle t second his rules, the children found no hardship or injustice in them. Amongst the scholurs, was one lit tle fellow, about eight yours old, named Freddy Gerrish, whose parents were poor, and cared but little for appearances, if the children had bread enough to eat from day tj day. Freddy was the oldest of the five children ; and. When not at school he was generally minding his brothers and sisters, as the Irish term what we call tending. tr taking care of them. One day, on his way home from school, he found an iron hoop, and, before night, he had a scraper ut the only door of the house. It so hap-jx-ned, that, when his father came home, his boots were covered with bog-mud, and, almost for the first time in his life, he look ed around lor something to clean them. The scraper that Freddy had placed there was just the thing ; and the little fellow was praised for his ingenuity. Soon afier, a sheep was killed by a dog in a field near Mr. Gerrish's bouse, and, no one caring about i, Freddy offered to bury it, if he might have the skin, which had but little wool on it. He borrowed a jack-knife of a larger boy, and soon stripped off the skin from the body, and then, cutting as large a square out of it as he could, he went hone and proposed lo bis mother to nail it down in the entry. This was done, to please Freddy; and the baby was allowed to sit upon it until father come heme The effrct of Freddy's attempt to reform was soon felt; and his mother was no longer heard to say, as she often had done, 'It is of no use to sweep!' 'Wife,' said Mr. Gerrish. one errning, 'your floor is whiter than the wall; I must get some lime, and white-wash it, for Freddy's scraper seems to have a tail to it.' The room was shin ing white before another day was passed : and, as the cooking-utensils began to look ill, standing round me stove, ir. uernsn, who was a go.I farmer, changed work with a carpenter, and had a set of shelves made, with a cupboard under them. One day, after sh had scoured the floor, Mr Gerrisb sai l to herseif, 'I wonder whether I cannot paint this floor well enough for poor people ; for, though a white floor looks well, it is easier to clean a painted one Freddy was despatched to the conch-makef's, to ask what some suitable paitU would cost. 'How big is your room?' said the man, who bad often noticed that Freddy was never among the boys that Fere doing mischief. 'Four times as long ns I can reach, one way, ai d five times, jhe other,' said Freddy. -The man applied the rule tt Freddy's rrat. and said, lt will post you half a dollar.' 'Who is to do the n.iuarinir V atd i h man. 'Mother, sir, is eo- g4otryr because she can't afford lo pAj tor j .tne paint ?ena ,iue piinung iw, ui iwunU to do it beforo. father comes home.' ITotl. love her, don't you ?' said the coach oaker. 41 guess I do,, said Freddy ; 'and she1 loves tne; too; because I made a scrap er at the door like Master Hall's, at the school, She 'Wt r il ha not been for the seraper, sh heiret fcould have thought iofOie paint ? nd "we are going to stay in the bedroom, or out of doors, till the paiuf is dry: ' l see through it,' said the man : ;go home, anil jfefl 'jeut'&olfeer I will come present lyy and paint the floor for nothing.; Tye: boy was starting off, when the coach-' maker recollected that half the charm was to consist in he wife's doing the work, and surprising; her husband wrtir?tjBodr pafnt-" ed with her own. haal ; and he called the - boy hack,' ami asked him if- his mother bad mgWtfyPA l1 f 4 nh6 bought some yaeu and Jtmt, three pairs of s toe k- ing'wbUoatbabjwasasIeep; nd sold theniVlWa J?!li .fterteitij i eiraUio jou, roy UttUfeUowwbecae jre tetryHif vtoihes?

'What Bi ble?' said the coach maker, who had be come interested in the boy. Th Bible f.r me to read every night and morning, as the mast r does.' 'I have some Bibles , to give away,' said the nwn; 'and, if yoi -will not spill the paint, you ;nay take one under your arm.' ! declare !' said Freddy, 'I dont know what mother will say to ail this. How will she pay you, sir? 'Would yon like to do a little work for ua, in 3 liille" fellow V 'i guess I should,' said Freddy; 'if I was big enoagh, I would work lor you ever so long.' 'I want just such a scraper at my door as you made yonr father; and, if you will rnako me one. I wul take it in full pay for the paint and tba Bible.' l can't rrwke' 1oTtr?rKxf eu,h for you,' said Freddy, bas'ifid y. Tb. t is my lK)k-out,' said the irian -to, carry home the pint, and come when you can and make the scraper.' Freddy went home ; and, when his mother saw him with a book under one arm, and both hands Lol ling on the paint-pot, she exclaimed. Why, Freddy, what h ve you done f 1 onlj- told 3'ou to ask the price of the paint , I know it,' said i reddy ; 'but tuc man made a trade with me; and he is to give me all these, if 1 will make him a scraper fo his door : and I am oinr to do it.' To make a long story short, the scraper at the schookloor was the mnking of Mr. Gerrish and h:s family. The entire change of habits introduced into their humble duelling not only led to neatness and or der, but to thrift and comfort. The scra per was made for the coach-maker, who continued to da a hundred other friendly nets for tbem. Freddy obtained an excel lent education, and is an intelligent and wealthy farmer: ami, when be built his new house, he carefully placed the old scraper by the side of the door, as if it were a tal isman. Master Hall taught from district to district ; and being of a slender constitution, his health early failed, anil he was quietly laid in the church yard of a country town, unconscious that the seed he had sown had ever produced any fruit like that we have described. Freddy could never dUover his resting-place ; but he erected a cenotaph lo his memory, near he school-house, which he also rebuilt, and. once a year, he collects the children of the village around it, and tells them the story of the scraper at the old1 schbdldoor."

The medical science Las some nn tries that uinke one sbuke in his shoes ; and tho lady did not understand this name which frightened l:cr very much. ' U'Lul must I do V she esked. ' You must place yourself uriJeT" my care. You reside in Pans 7 " " " ' 1 Ah, no, Sir. I came expressly lo con eult you.' - ' , , . j ' 1 regret it, inadam. The disease which threatens you must be treated with energy,, and makes it necessary thnt'I' should sec -you almost every dny.' ' I must lake apartments in Paris, then I ' 1 advise 3 ou to do so.- Constant atten tion will tffect your cure, or 1 can promise you nothing.' - - . . The lady did as the physician recom mended, and engaged a splendid hotel in the Chaussce d'Autiti ; for a the occulisf had suspected, she was a lady of iminense fortune. t. r , Quite a w hile elapsed1 during which the physician spared neither1: remedies nor, vis its He whs exceedingly' attentive, und constantly recommending a thousand little prescriptions which he snid would s.ive his patient's eyes. But weeks passed by, and then months, and the much wished-lor cure was siill to come. When V would ihe lady inquire. 4 Very soon,' the doctor would reply. 'Wait a little longer,' ami he would place a new pair o( colored spectacles upon her nose. i This treatment made the fair patient grow nervous, ami one fine morning tin idea pop;ed into Iter head, and she formed a purpose which she resolved to carry into effect wiihont delay. She ensconced her head within a 4 shocking bud' black' bon net ; drew a dilapidated dress about her; flung a miserable shawl across her shoul ders : put old and clumsy shoes on her feet, ami with a faded umbrella in her hand, storied for her physician's office. She had been careful to conceal' her dark hair be neath bands of flaxen hue, and dye her eyebrows and keep her face half bidden within tufts of antiquated ribbons and arti ficials in her bonnei. A lover's eyes would have been deceived by the change. . Thus accoutred she went to the phys ician, who naturally enough let her wait for her turn. When it arrived she passed into his consultation room wiih trembling steps, while her bended form and' faded garments bespoke her a quite poor old wo man. ' What is the matter, my good' womaii 7' inquired the doctor. 1 Sore eyes, dear doctor,' she replied hi a shrill voice. 4 Iet us see he exclaimed. 1 Look,' she added, approaching him boldly, and thrusting her face into that of ihe doctor, who never dreamt of secirtg his rich patient in such toggery. He ex amined the eyes and said : ' Go home, old mother. Nothings ails you.' What nolhing at all V cried the lady. 4 Certainly not. Don't I know . wbut I say V rejoined the physician pettishly. ' That's strange,' was her observation ; 1 for some people told me ot something Kke ham hammer' 'Amaurosis?' interrupted" the M. D. . 44 That's it,' she cried. 1 Nonsense,' he exclaimed. 'Your eyes' are weak ; that's because you are ah old woman. Thai's all, and nolhing can help them.' 4 That ain't what my doctor" says, she observed. 4 Your doctor's an ass, then, he declared impatiently. ' Wcli, sir,' she rejoined in her natural voice; 4 you are that very doctor himself.' The chronicler of this Parisian episode adds that the occulist had no more visits to pay the lady, and she no bills for past attendance. ' At Oswego, (N. Y.) on Wednesday of last week, a party of boys who1 .were ali ding dowrfhill on two sleds that-were lashed together ran against drie horse sleigh, which was made a complete wreck by the collision. On the frohi of one of the sleds was a young roan named Alex ander Morgan, aged IG, who lay flat, with : his face downwards, guiding its ' course, ' His skull was crushed into -av complete pumice, and he survived only; about an hour after.
