A STORY FOB BOYS. Thc ruins of that old country school bouse yet romain, a deformity by the roadside. Ii had brick walls, and these ero not entirely gone. A portion of the chimney, ton, is Mill to be seen} while old Inundation Htoues, und bits of huh, ?nd broken layers of mortar, make the place desolate nod forbidding. The wet, spongy farm-lot in thc rear is no h.iiidsnnu r, mir the rude highway more attractive, limn was the case forty years cpo. It would neem M? If country school house-", liku country grave yards, were once begruged thu room required for them, and were hence pushed iuto the most uninviting places. Even now, in sleep, I sometime-}dream of nay school days there, and of the iittl" boy with the big boots-the sorrowful little boy, whom none of us knew enough to mak? happy. Boys ?re not really more cruel luau men, but their well ol kindlier lies deep, nod they leap over it and run around if, without knowing how clear and sparkling ita waters would he if drawn up. I was a lad of eleven, the first and only wilder of my attendance there. I nm now more than fifty ; and, in the review, that single winter seems a? long to me as a dozen yearn. The incidents ol' youth have a consistency like that of pure gold, and the mind afterwards oeats them out. so that they cover a very broad surface Mr. Tanner, the master, I would know in a moment, were lie to rino up before me now; and the fresh-looking girl at the desk in the corner ; and tho blur-eyed country beauty, whoso seat was by the window; ami thc freckled boys, and boys with tow huir; thc big boys on the back seat, and the little boys on ibo front bench by the stove ; I would recognize them every one, could some psychological wonder bring them back to me again, with ihe looks that they have long since shed, atom by atom, on the road of life. There was one little follow about my own ngp, whom, ou my first day at school I remarked as having a thoughtful and somewhat troubled face, aud lo be poorly dressed. It was a cold day in November, and, al recess, smno of the boys put on their over coals. Ono of them, who had a very handsome garment of thc kind, on taking ii down from its natl in the entry, observ ed beside it un old faded coat belonging to some one else. TIIIH lie rudely grasped and, with a jeering, cruel air, and de risive whoop, acclaimed, "What rag is this?" At the xauno lime he threw- it across thc small entry, and out Upon the stone step. Another kicked it as it fell while a third caught it up am) ran with it as if it were a kite or a banner. Pres ently, however, it wu? dropped ; and in> thu boys became somewhat scattered. I saw thc little fellow of the reflective fae?* hastily pick up the d?*rpined article, and return it to the pince where it hud hung. As he Mimed away, his countenance was flushed, and ho drew (hu hack of his hand across his somewhat handsome eye-?. It was ilia coat, this was plain ; and all uiy enjoyment of the recess was spoil ed; for 1 thought bow hu munt feel lo lu jeered at ami insulted for what ho could not help, and what hud no doubt caused him much anxiety timi mortification, even before any ?nu bad made it u auhjtct ol ridicule. He did not pm ar. the coat ni that lime, though ho had worn il in the morning; hm when thc d?ty waa over, nm) ail tho children were m-iking ready for home, us the bitter wind whistled past the door, he o .iee more buttoned it around him ; and I was glad tn lind thal nothing was said, although some cd' the boy? looked curiously athis threadbare attire, as if wondering how bo could wear such clothes on the very first day of school. But I now observed that hu had ill-filling boots, much too largo for his feet; ami although the coat escaped uttack fur the timo, ibu boots did m t. "Hoots! boots!" "What is tho price of old leather?" "Win? ?ants to lu'.o a Hail in a.mud scow?", wert* sumo of the unfeeling ejaculations that he was com pelled lo bear, ns ho stuned out upon the road with the others, who, niter tho man ner of rude shoolboys, sauntered orran along pushing eauh other into ditches, or throwing pcbulc? at gate-posts and trees. Tho following day wits-dill colder, and the boy came wrapped in his poor over coat ; but this had now censed to attract particular attention ; the b:g boots, which really made remarkable appearance upon feet so small, hemming tiie butt instead. They made a hurdur munni on the shoot house floor thur?'the boot* of any other boy ; and thesensitive henri of young .Mas ter Robert Brown (for this was the lad's name) told him so. There were enough others to tell him HO too. Oh, the cruelly of those sarcustic smiles and impudent glances. One evening, I told my pnrenls of the boy with Ibo I.ig bunts, who carno fruin tho other end ol the district; MIK! my mother replied that Hubert Brown must be tho son ot that Mr. lim wu who lived at the turn of the road, two miles off, and who, by intemperance, kept his Whole family in misery. Mrs. Brown, my m'uthersaid, was an excellent woman, ?nd was always m ndingandfixiugupherchildreu'sc otb ing; trying, iii her careful, anxious way, to maka something bf nothing; and often, too, succeeding surprisingly well. Robert, she added, had an elder brother, wno had gono lo sea ; und, perhaps, thu big bool.' might be n pair which hu.had left ul home. Tliu family had lately lost a little girl. Robert's sister, and were in am iel ton every way; and ?he hiped llmt 1 would uover show by word or look that I noticed the clumsy bums or tho threadbare cunt. Ani now I remember hearing Ruben Bay to himself, sobbingly, one dav, when tho big boy? bud treated him ill, 4 O lillie Mauiiul little Mamie ! . I mn glad you cannot know of it 1" Ono day, not long after the commence ment of tho school, two of the cnaimitteo called upon some business, with the leach er ; and at recess some of the boys ma liciously remarked tont they hud libatrv? ed them: officials smiling tit Hubert's, big bo its, ns ho stood in his cia*'., or shuffled along tho floor.

Presently, a iittm "TieTofscliiKjl-boy faces peered over tho fence that tia?.bidden m from thc com mon view ; but after a moment's wat ll Jug they "lank away in shame.

Robert held me by the hand, and asked that I might remain also. Then, when tafe three wero alone he told at the master's request, Uie story of bia troubles, ?low simply and now frankly hr spoke, slid what unstudied pathos there WIIH ?II lils word'?I The m-hool miixterV eye? were full of tears; mid in answering the poor little hov, hin voice became choked, and more than once he left a sentence unfinished. As io myself, I could nut help weeping out right. The next day Robert was absent. He had taken cold while he lay un tho wet ground, and as the weather was now -lonny, his mother had not ventured lo .end bim. H isubsence afforded the master an opportunity ol talking to the other pupils in a way which he could hardly nave done hud the little boy with tho big boot* boen prisent. My school-fellows lind, however, already begun to think-begun to put themselves in Robert's place, and imagine how tbev would feel if their mothers, who so loved them, werp joorand careworn, and ?<at up at night, trying to niako old things an ?wer for their dnar boya, boping that the other boys would not notice the difference, or at least would not speak of i;-to con sider how it would be if, when they came to ?chool, all this anxiety and toil were mocked hy unfeeling voices, and nil tilt* dear things of home were ?intuited, through a senseless derision, by those who hu?! the good fortune to posso* parents ?rho cm. ld buy them new costs, new milieus, and new boots. There is utmost every thing in thinking, and ul last thc boy? thought. Muster Tanner spoke kindly to them on the subject. Though he could bo ?torn at I ?mot lhere ?as now uotone atom of se verily in bin tories. His heart had no room l'oranger; but, as ho spoke, he became eloquent. It was a soft, winning kind 01 ?loquence; and thc most thoughllcss boy in school was visibly affected-many 01 , them to tears. Whether or not Robert's mother knew what had tanspired, I cannot tell; bm i the succeeding day he carno again, wearing i he same coal and boottt as before, lim tho boys saw them not, or ?aw them ? oily to feel a heartache, and a new born j .yin pat hy for the poor little fellow who would not have worn them if hu cou hi bave helped it. The tide of impulse han urned. Nothing wasoverdoiie, but there was a kindness ot ad and lone; and tin ing boys showed thui they were doini: what they could, in a gentle, unobtru .?ive way, to make Robert forget that they na?! ever treated him ill. Tho next day was Saturday and there wan no school. On .Monday, Robert did not come, and we le ur ned that hu was id with u fever. Tuesday was Christmas ; ami on tho morning of that day, Mrs Brown carried into thc sick room of her nillo boy a new pair ol boots, and a com pleto suit of warm, haiidsumu clothing, ivercoat and all. Late on thc previous evening, these articles had been Iel! in lier charge, tobe a morning's surprisu for ibo young patient. That afternoon, a number of the icliool-boys called upon him, and I wa ?f the party. The ?ame hoy who had Hissed (hebert's coal from lim ;;; the entry was one of US. Roberl tot up in ned, and for a lew moments all his illness ponied lo have departed. Thu now bunt wure where ho could look at them; the overcoat was also close lo his hand, mu! to were all lite oilier articles of tin Christmas gilt. The young visitors had -cen all these things before Robert saw 'beni, but they did not cay so. Oh, how unexpected had buen such a inkeu of sympathy I Nothing wai said of tile past; but ibu noys hmughi him nui? ?nd sweetmeats, which, however, ho must keep lill hu should be well ; and they told him of a hundnd things which he and they would do before tliCclosoof win er.

Ile waa very sick, even then ; and it wm only ibo pleasant excitement, and ibe feeling iliut the old cause of sorrow had been ali swallowed up in kindness lhainiude him appear momentarily belter. Only once after that 1 saw him alive ; and the picture of his little pale luce upon ihe pillow remains with me yet. Hin mother had placed thu new bouts where .ho could touch them with his bund. When I entered, he rallied fur a moment und seemed almost, ivulh P?iilyt? bis arm about me as 1 leaned over bim,.b? said "I have seen little Mamie. Bhu wa? here lust night. I saw her just ns ?he used to be. Tho school-hoyt-they didn't menu any hann, did they? only they .lidu't think. They like ino now,aud I like them." And then bc said something more ol lillie sister, and something of getting well ; but presently he seemed exhausted and parity lost. 1 cried soflly lo niy-uli for i could not help it. Tho day following we heard thnt he was no more. All tho school-children wero at tho funeral. Master Tinnier was there, too. Tho undertakeropend the lillie casket thal held ibo dead, and we all came soflly and looked dowu upon the white face. All the past ca ? e buck-the scene with thu overcoat in the entry, ihe jeers ut thc big boots, the di ?ti csa of the poor tittie boy as hu dung himself oil the dump award-all theso thiiiga were re member* d. And now, how palo and still ne Iva?

But a lesson was loamed at that winter term of ihe country school which rcachi-u away down min the lives of tue surviving acton* in thut small drama ol tho past.- Youth's Companion. MOHAMMEDAN MARRIAGE.-A recent essayist says that murringo among :he Mohammedans curries with .it right? bf inheritance, und th? dower settled upon the wifo may, and often does, interfere with the rights of ordinary heirs. Dow er ?il held to be the price promit or paid by the husband for the posserjtlon of ibo v. ?lu's pers-in. If unpaid, lt ls a debt on the husband's estate. It takes precedence of all claims by inheritance,, mid descends hy inheritance to the wife's heirs. The amount of dower is entirely arbitrary, and varies according tu tho position in life, ?rid the youth', ht ai, ty and apcornplidimenls of the bride. It is settled by tba relative.: of the contract ing parties; but If a marringa has been agreed upon, r:id the amount of dower is disputed, tho magistrate has authority to determine the just amount. Divorc** isa Very easy matter under tho Mohammedan law, ami may be effected at the mere will of the huxoand; but a man cannot repu diate his wife without paying her dower; so it sometimes, happens that a vary ?rdent lover, or one willing to divest him If of the power pfdivprce, will ngree .rn amount of dnwetf which iv is anile imponible fer him to discharge. From thia., there is no escape but pavment, or remission on the psrt of lila wife. A irwman may cot have more than four wive? at tbs same time ; a slave may not h?*? strop? tifan two? ROASTED AI IVE.
