Stephens) For ten or fifteen years old f/,Mohary Lurvey, who lived only fouv 1 "e from the old home farm in M'ine was the old squire's rival a most ag gressive one?in the lumhev husines:-, and we were engaged in more than one distracting quarrel with him. Vet we could not help hut foel 'i cert'ti sympathy for him when, al the ae.e e fifty-eight he set out to got an ed lea lion. Old Zack would never tell .anyone where ho came from, though ther.was a rumor that ho h i 1 ' ^ <?? ?i* i?> >*1 from Petitcodiac, New I3run wick When as a hoy of about twenty h< liad firs tappearod in oui v cini y h' I could neither re ad nor write; ap) mm entlv he had never seen a cl oolhou-c He did not even know thoie w a place as Hoston, or New \ ork, and had never heard of fieorge Washing But he had settled and gone to worl at the place tha1 wa after.', .n ! known as Lurvey's Mills; and he .soon began to prosper, for ho \y po H sussed of keen mother wit arid had energy and resolution enough <".>) h;H a dozen ordinary men. For years and year in all hi man H business transactions he had 'o n ala H .i f/.i- I.!. tl ..f -I 141 aim r\ iwi i 11 n i y 11?.? i * -1 ? , \ ii? iv? | all 'pin accounts on the attir- floor of his house with bean; and kern' Is or corn, oven after they represented thousands of doll.urs. Then at la: ( ji disaster befell him; his house burned while he was avvav; and from the confusion that resulted the rlisadvantnfrc of bookkeeping in cereal v.a. so forcibly borne in upon him thai he suddenly resolved to le. rn to read, write and reckon. On the first day of the following winter term he appeared at the district schoolhouse with a primer, ;x spelling- book, a Greenleaf's Arithmetic, a copy book, a pen and an ink bottle. The schoolmaster was a youn/v sophomore from Howditin College named Marcus Cobb, a stranger in the placc. When he entercfd the schoolhouse that morning ho wa visibly astonished to see a lair", bony forniitably looking old nvm j-rjtting there anion*?, the children. "Don't ye be srairt <?f mo.\ youi t>feller," old Zaek said to him. "4 guess ye can teach me, for 1 don't know my letters yit!" > Master Cobb called the school U> order and proceeded to ;i; !c the r.aiiif and ages of l.is pupils.

Mia tor be^an to realize 'hat ho was in for something extraordinary. hi truth he had the time his life there that winter. Not ivit l<i Zack misbehaved; on the con ry. ho was a model of studiousness ?i was vor\ anxious to learn. Hut '"iC Hon wont hard with him at first; wa moro than a week in learning letters and sat by the hour makth? ii on a slate, muttering them id. sometimes vehemently, with .i In! gro.ans. M and W gave him . ta .rouble; and so did H and Iv. o givw so wrathful over his miskc s ;;f times that lie thumped the .id once he hurled :s primer at the. stove. "Wh\ did they make the measly < !o tliiiif!" look 'omueh alike!" he vied.

"Well, I do want to larn," old Zack if plied. "I'm goin' the whole hog, et' it kills me!" And apparently it did pretty near kill him; at any rate he perspired o r r his woi k and at times was near . I.f.lding tears. Certain of the letters he drew on paper with ; lead pencil and pasted on he hack of his hands, so as to keep them in light. One day he tore the alphabet out of his primer and put it into the crown of his cap?"to see p4% it wouldn't soak in," he said. When fler a hard struggle he was. able to ri three letters together and spell at c-a-t, ho was so much pleased t.k;t h?- clapped his hands and shoutcd, ".Seal!" at the top of his voice. The effect of such performances on a roomful of small boys and girls was not conducive to good order. It u ' o i!y with difaculty that the young I >ia tor could hoar lessons or induce his pupils to study.\ Old Zack was I 'no of at'raction for every juvenile pyo. it v. as when the old fellow (\rst began lo wrivo his name, or try to, in i i ;pv hook, 1hat he caused the ovpat^s' commotion.

Thereupon old Zack drew out his pocket book ami laid down twenty dollars. "There is* your money," said ho. "I can pay my way." "liut you are too old to attend a district school," the lawyer insisted. "You can't go after.you are twentyone." ' "But 1 have never been," old Zack argued. "I never used up my right lo go.
