A STQBY FOB BOYS. The ruins of that old country school house yet remain, a deformity by the roadside. It had brick walls, and these ore not entirely gone. A. portion of I the chimney, toi?, is still to be Keen; I while old foundation stones, and bits of J lath, and broken layers of mortar, make j the place desolate and forbidding. jThe I wet, spongy farm-lot. in the. rear-is no! handsomer, nor the rude highway more I attractive, than was the case forty years ago. It would seem as if country school house?, like country grave yards, were once begruged the room required for them, and were hence pushed into the most uninviting places. Even now, in sleep, I sometimes dream j of my school-days there, and of the littl? boy with- the big boots?the sorrowful little boy, whom none of us knew enough to make happy. Boys are not really more.cruel than men, but their well ol xindhess lies deep, and they leap over it j and run. around it, without knowing how clear and spark lieg its waters would be if drawn up. I was-a'Ind'of eleven, the first and only winter of my attendance there. I am now more than fifty; and, in the review, that single winter seems as loug to me a? a dozen years. The incidents of youth have a consistency like that of pure gold, and the mind afterwards beats them out, so that they cover a very broad Surface. Mr.Tanner, the master, I would know in a moment, were he to rise up before me now; aud the fresh-iooking girl at the desk in the corner; and the blue-eyed country beauty, whose seat was* by the I window ; and the freckled boys, and boys J with tow hair ; the big boys on the back seat, and the little boys on the front bench by the stove; I would recognize them I every 'one, could some psychological wonder bring them back to mo again, with the looks that they have long since shed, atom by atom, on the road of life. There was one little fellow about my own age, whom, ou my first day at school J I remarked us having a tbonghtful and somewhat troubled face, and to be poorly dressed. It was a cold day in November, and, at recess, some of the boys put on their over coats. One <?f them, who had a very j handsome garment of the kind, on taking it down from its nail in the entry, observ? ed beside it an old faded coat belonging to some one else. This he rudely grasped and, with a jeering, cruel air, and de? risive whoop, nxclaimed, "What,rag is this?" At the same time he threw it j across the small entry, and nut upon the j stone step. Another kicked it as it fell I while a third caught it up and ran with it as if it were a kite or a banner. Pres- I ently, however, it was dropped; and a* the boys became somewhat scattered. I saw the little fellow of the reflective face hastily pick up the despised article, and return it to the place where it had hung. I As he turned away, his countenance was flushed, and he drew the back of his band across bis somewhat handsome eyes. It was his coat, this was plain; and all my enjoyment of the recess was spoil ed; for 1 thought how he must feel to be jeered at and insulted for what he could not help, and what had no doubt caused him much anxiety and inortiQcation^even before any one had made it a subject ot. ridicule. He did not put on the coat at that time, though he had worn it in the I morning; but when the day was over, and all the children were making ready for home, as the bitter wind, whistled past the door, he o.ice more buttoned it around him ; aud I was glad to find that nothing was said, although some of the boys looked curiously at his threadbare attire as if wondering how be could wear such clothes on the very first day of school. But I now observed that he had ill-fitting boob, much too large for bis feet; ami ? although the coat escaped attack for the time, the boots did noL ? "Bums! boots!" "What is (ho price of old leather?" "Who wants to take a sail in a-mud scow ?". were some of the unfeeling'ejaculations that he was com? pelled tu hear, as he started out upon the road with the others, who, after the man? ner of rude shoolboys, sauntered or ran along pushing each other into ditches, or throwing pebbles at gate-posts and trees. The following day was still colder, and the boy came wrapped in his poor over? coat ; but this had now ceased to attract particular attention; the big boots, which really made remarkable appearance upon feet so small, becoming the butt instead. They made a louder Sound on the shool house floor than the boots of any other boy; and <be sensitive heart of young Mas? ter Robert, Brown (for this was the lad's name) told him so. There were enough others to toll him so too. Oh, the cruelty of those sarcastic smiles and impudent glances. One evening, I told my parents of the boy with the big.boots, who came from the other end of the district; and my mother replied that Robert Brown must be the son ofthat Mr. Brown who lived at the turn of the road, two miles off, ami who, by intemperance, kept his whole family j in misery. Mrs. Brown, my mother said, was an excellent woman, and was always m -ndingandfixingupherchildreoW.oth i'?g; trying, in her careful, anxious way, to make something of nothing ; aud often, too, succi'edingsurprisingly well. Hoben, she added, had an elder brother, who had gone to sea '; and, perhaps, the big boot*' might be apair which he had left at home. The family had lately lust i little girl. Robert's sister, and were in affliction every way; and she hoped that 1 would never show by word or look that X noticed the clumsy boots or the threadbare, coat. And now I remember hearing Robert say to ~i..?*. If, sobbingly', one day, when the big boys bad treated him ill, ' 0 little Mumie! little Mamie! Mam glad you cannot know of it IV One day, not long after the commence? ment of the school, two of the committee called upon some business with the teach er; and at recess some of the boys ma? liciously remarked tnat they hud obstrv* ! ed these officials smiling at Robert's big bo >'.*, as he stood in his class or shuffled along the Boor. This was not true; but it had its effect. The idea that grown up men could regard him with derision for his patched jacket and his poor, clumsy boots, seemed to impress him with a feel? ing more forlorn than a ugh t else had done How many leaden thoughts fell ou his young heart! He recalled his lather, a drunkard ; his mother, so careful, so sorrowful, so worn with work, so tender of himself; his little sister, asleep under the new mound, where his own and his mother's band? pluced, every week, sad mosses and circlets of the pretty creeping jenny?for it wss all that they now could do; and then, in the midst of all, how ! inexpressibly dreadful to his mind seemed the taunts which poverty brought upou him. The coat upon which his mother had sewed at night, hoping that it might answer; the boots that she had dreaded to ask him to wear; the course dinner that the boys had made urn of at noon, as he took it from his pail, he thought of all these things more bitterly than ever; aud suddenly, at that recess, he was misled from among his school-fellows. I found him stretched at full length on the damp ground, out of sight of his tor? mentors; and when I kneit by his side, put my arm tenderly about him, his aob* were violent. He cried long and bitterly ?all the more for this sympathy, so pre? cious, so unexpected. Presently, a num '"berirr^hool- boy faces peered over the fence thatT^~h4dden us from the com? mon view; but after a moment's wat :i iag they slunk away in shame. I soon per? ceived that my school-mates were talking ea'nestly among themselves, and saw also that some of the faces I had thought so cruel wore a look of repentance aud sorrow. The teacher's bell sounded, and we all thronged into school?Robert Brown the last. How sad he looked! The master asked no questions; but he must pre? viously have obsgrvwl something of tiro , condition of tilings; for when school was over at night, he put bis arm about Rob? ert's neck and asked hi in to remain for a few momenta. Robert beld me by the hand, and asked that I might remain altio. j Then, when we three were alone he told at the masters request, the story of Ida - troubles. How simply and now frankly, he spoke, and what unstudied pathos there was in his words I The school-master';, eyes were full of tears; and in answering the poor little boy, his voice became choked, and more than once he left a sentence unfinished. As to myself, I could not help w;eeping out? right. , The next day Robert was absent. He had taken cold while he lay on the wet, ground, and as the weather was now stormy, his 'mother had not ventured v> send him. His absence afforded the master an opportunity of talking to the other pupils in a way which he could hardly have done had the little boy with the big bouts been present. My school-fellows had, however, already begun to think?begun to put themselves in Robert's place, and imagine how they would feel if their mothers, who so loved them, were poor and careworn, and sat up at night, trying to make old things an swer for their dear boys, hoping that the other boys would nut notice the difference, or at least would not speak of it?to con? sider bow it would be if, when they came to school, all this anxiety and toil were mocked by unfeeling voices, and all th? dear things of home were i us u I ted, through a senseless derision, by those who had the good fortune to possess parents who could buy them new coats, new mittens, and new boots. There is almost every thing in thinkiog, and at last the boys thought. Master Tanner, spoke kindly to them on the subject. Though he could be stern at time*there was now notone atom of se? verity in his tones. His heart had no room for anger; but, as he spoke, he became eloquent. It was a soft, winning kind 01 eloquence; and the most thoughtless boy in school was visibly affected?many 01 them to tears. Whether or not Robert's mother knew what had tanspired, I cannot tell; but the succeeding day he cameagain, wearing ihe same coat and bouts as before. But the boys saw them not, or saw them only to "feel a heartache, and a new-born. sympathy for the poor little fellow who would nut have worn them if he could have helped it. The tide of impulse had \ urued. Nothing was overdone, but there was a kindness of act and tone; and the big boys showed that they were doing what they could, in a gentle, unobtru? sive way, to make Robert forget that they had ever treated him ill. The next day was Saturday and there wait no .school. Ou Monday, Robert did not come, and we learned that he was iL with a fever. Tuesday was Christmas; and on the morning of that day, Mrs Brown carried into the sick room of her little boy a new pair of boots, and a com? plete suit of warm, handsome clothing, ?vercoat and all. Late on the previous evening, these articles had been left in iier charge, to be a morning's surprise for the young patient. Tbat afternoon, a number of the school-boys called upon him, and I was '<{ the party. The same boy who had tossed Robert's coat from the nail in the entry was one of us. Robert sat up in oed, and for a few moments all his illness -eemed to have departed. The new boot were where he cou id look at them; the overcoat was kIso close to his band; 'and so were all the other articles of the Christmas-gift. The young visitors had -een all these things before Robert saw 'hem, but they did not say so. Oh, how unexpected had been such a token of sympaihy I Kulbing was said of the past; but the uuys brought him nut .ind sweetmeats, which, however, he must keep till he should be well; and they told him of a hundnd things which he and they would du before the close of win ter. But the Well day never came. He. was very sick, even then; and it was on ly the pha-uut excitement, and the feeling that the old cause of sorrow had been all swallowed up in kindness that made him appear momentarily better. Only once after that I saw him alive ; and the picture of his little pale face upon I the pillow remains with me yet. His mother had placed the new boots where ! he could touch them, with his hand. \y.heu I entered, .he 'ralliett.for a monieut and seemed almost well. Putting his arm about me as 1 leaned over him, he said? '"I have seen little Mamie. She was here last night.' I saw her just as she used tu be. The school-boys?they didn't mean any harm, did they ? only they tiidu't think. They like me now, and I like them." And then he said something more 61 little sister, and something of getting well; but presently beseemed exhausted and partly lost. I cried softly tu myselt for 1 cuuld nut beip it. Tho day following we heard that he was no more. All the school.children were at the funeral. Master Tanner was there, too. Tbe undertaker opend the little casket that held the dead, aud we all came softly and looked down upon the white face. All the past ca <.e buck?the scene with the overcoat in the entry, the jeers at the big bouts, the.distress of tbe poor little boy as he flung himself oh the ?lamp, sward?all these ffiinga were re member*d. Aud now, how pale and still ue was! Nu wunder tbat the school-boys cried; no wonder that the master's face was wet with tears. It was, us I have said, more than forty years ago; but in an old burial ground not far away. I could point out lo my readers a small white stone, with Robert's name aud age, and by its side another stone, inscribed to ''Little Mamie." They were placed therebyRoberi'asailor orotner, who, the same winter, returned from a long sea voyage. How often I look at these small memo? rials, and go back in spirit to the old schoul'tiouse and that bleak November day, when tbe threadbare uvercoat was Hung contemptuously from its nail, and little Robert, in his ill-fitting boots, went, with a heart full uf distress, tu uick upwind replace that which he knew his mother had taken such care to brush and mend. 0 dear* little boy ! bow long tbe scene has been over?the cruelty, the heartache, the tears! But a lesson was learned at that winter term of ihe country school which reached away down into the lives of the surviving actors in that small drama ot the past.? Youth's Companion. Mohammedan Marriage.?A recent essayist says that marriage among the Mohammedans carries with it rights of inheritance, and the dower settled upon the wife may, and often does, interfere with the rights of ordinary heirs. Dow? er is held to be the price promised or paid by the husband for the possession of the wife's person. If unpaid, it is a debt on the husband's estate. It takes precedence of all claims by inheritance, and descends by inheritance to the wife's heirs. The amount of dower is entirely arbitrary, and varies according to the position in life, and the youth, beauty and accomplishments of the bride. It ia settled by the relatives of the contract? ing parties; but if a marriage has been iigreed upon, and the amount of dower is disputed, the magistrate has authority to determine the just amount. Divorce is a very easy matter under the Mohammedan law, and" may be effected at the mere will of the husband ; but a man cannot repu? diate his wife without paying her dower; so it sometimes happens that a very ardent lover, or one willing to divest him? self of the power of divorce, will agree to an amount of dower which it is quite impossible for him to discharge. From this there is no escape but payment, or remission on the part of his wife. A freeman may not have more than four wives at the same time; a slave may not have more than two* ROASTED AU VE. a Fearful Tragedy la Kentucky. Spring Lick, Ky. February 2.

He knew that his mortal aiekhess was upon him, but he did not expect to die soon. Tlie evening before hi* death he had his mail read to him, commented upon some of the letters, aud drrected his son to clear up his table, as wild his whril every night. In the night, when he found he was.dying, he directed his sun to pack up his papers and watch, and to give his pencil to his son Andrew. When speech left him he still showed con.tcjousne.ts by sighs; and beckoning to his-son, squeez? ed his,<haud and expired, without pain and without fear, lie had always said to 'me previously and to others through his sickness that he had no apprehensions of death; that, it was an event in relation ? to which he feit that he had no right to entertain a wish. He was a man of few quotations, but one which he olteh used to me was "the same Providence on the fatal as the. natal hour." He was not consulted-as-to Iris-' birth, nor did he believe that his wishes ought to weigh or even exist as to his death; such I-sup? pose to have-been Iiis meaning. 'Ho had a greater faith.in his abstractions, one and all, than any other man 1 ever saw, and this was his abstraction (as I think) about death. "But," Mr. Hunter, went ?>ii to say, "you must not whisper it to any one; I believe that he died under the firm impression that the South was 'hetiayed aud gone. Indeed, he told me it was 'betrayed', the last time I ever saw him. Do not mention this, however.

The North would not have severed the Union sooner than submit to such a proposition." Mr. ChIIiouh's death elicited glowing eulo? gies in both bouses of Congress, but the tiiiMt impressive was that of Henry Clay. Evidently standing on the brink of his own grave, he went on to say: "I was his senior, Mr. President, in years?in noth? ing else. According to the course oi nature, I ought to have preceded him.
