A HARD WINTER.

BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER,.

! | i ~— | ‘Tre question was, should Dick remain at School ” | **7’m afraid you'll have te give it up, Dick, my boy. I'm sorry, vld fellow, but there doesn't seem to bea way out; and mamma and myself have talked it over until we are ‘exhausted, It breaks my heart to disappoint you, Dick?” It was papa who spoke, rather sorrowfully. | Dick Hanford was standing beside his father, with anarm thrown lovingly over the ‘latter's shoulder. Mr. Hanford was very pale and thin, and had a languid appearance. He was, in fact, recovering from a long seige of rheumatic fever, which had drained the little family of its savings, and owing to which Mr. Hanford had lost his position. It would be many ‘weeks before he could undertake another place, even if one could easily be found, which was doubtful. | Inthe meantime Mrs. Hanford and Eva were supporting the family. Eva painted scarfs, Vases, cups and saucers, screens and other decorative articles, and had a market for them in the city, where a dealer in bric-a- brac kept her supplied with orders. In the intervals of nursing her husband Mrs, Han- ford wrote stories and sketches, which were sometimes accepted and paid for, and some- times declined with thanks. Between the two they kept the pot boiling, and had gotten through the father's long illness without debt, but as for continuing Dick at the academy, it was not to be thought of. Not honestly, at least, said the mother, and in this little home there was a horior of dishonesty.

‘‘ Kither,” said the Hanfords, ‘* we will pay our way, or we will do without what we want, no matter how much we want it.”

So when Mr. Hanford, knowing that Dick understood the situation perfeetly, explained that the academy bills could no longer be met, Dick, settling his lips together, and bravely keeping back the tears which came near start- ing, noowithstanding his fourteeu years, made the best of it.

**You could not ask mamma or sister to work any harder than they do, Dick,” said the father. ‘‘ And it will be some time be- fore I can hope to take any share of the load

jagain. Meanwhile 1 can carry you on with ‘your Latin and mathematics.” | But Dick understood better than his father that the preparation for college could go on) 'with greater ease and rapidity in classes with boys like himself, all studying heartily, and | under the care of masters who were familiar with the latest methods, than at home with dear papa, whose scholarship was thorough enough, no doubt, yet whose very pronuncia- ition of Latin was old fashioned, according to jmodern views. He went to his own den in ithe attic, and did a little thinking. Present- ‘ly he came down, and appeared in the sitting- /room with overcoat and rubbers on, cap in | hand. ‘I suppose, papa and mamma,” he said, | ‘that a tellow may keep on at school if he ‘can pay his own bills? I've been thinking | that perhaps 1 can earn the money myself.”

Mamma looked up brightly. ‘*That speech ‘has the true ring, my boy. You have my consent to do anything honorable.”

Papa held out his hand. ‘‘I wish you suc- ‘cess, Dick; but don't be too sanguine.” | Eva, looking up from a lovely spray of ‘apple blossoms which, under her deft touches, was growing on the corner of a picture frame, exclaimed, **Piease don’t apprentice yourself .to the livery-stable man, or become Newsboy, Dick; you would not make enough to pay for ‘the hard work and the disagreeable associa- | tions.”

‘‘lam thinking of applying for a position in which the work is hard enough, but which will pay me very well. I am going up to Deacon Dale’s to inquire whether the First Church has yet found a sexton.”

And shutting the door gently, the boy was off, lifting his cap to the trio as he shot like an arrow past the window where Eva bent over her dainty palette, with brush poised in the air, and a wondering expression on her face.

‘‘Poor Dick ! they'll never accept him for ; that work; it needs a strong man,’ was mam-

ma’scomment. ‘‘And I could hardly consent ito it if they should,” she added.

A half-hour passed, and darkness was set- \tling over the pretty room. The girl put up her paints, and made a picture of herself as she drew a little hassock up to her father,

and rested her bright head against his knee. | The mother, never idle if she could help it, ‘sat in the fire-light knitting steadily, the fleecy wools rippling over her needles, and weaving themselves into a soft and snowy shawl. Outside, the wind was rising in gusts, and shook the panes and batterdd against the door.

“I wish Dick would come home, the mother was saying, when there was a great stamping of feet, and the sound of a merry whistle at the treshold, and presently in burst a the boy with a cherry:

‘*Hello, little master ! Wish me joy, please. You behold the sexton pro tem. of the old church. The cituatien is mine for a month, on trial, and for the year after that,if I choose to retain it.

Mrs. Hanford’s sympathy with Dick might always be counted on, and she warmly con- gratulated him. For the sexton’s salary was thirty dollars a mouth and that she well knew, would pay the boy’s term bills, clothe him, and leave something over for the future. But had she foreseen precisely how much her Richard had made himself responsible for she would have been very doubtful of his power of holding out.

His a who remembered his own child- ‘hood and the tasks he had done ona farm,was of the opinion that Dick would be the stronger for a few trials. Eva, I regret to say, felt a little ashamed of her brother, or rather a little ashamed to have their necessity known to their fellow-townspeople. The day came when she was very much ashamed of hersel! for having had that momentary shame.

The new sexton found himself in business. There were the fires to be lighted and attend- ed to on Sunday and on week days too, tor the church had meetings of one sort and an- other nearly every day. The bell had to be rung whenever there was a service, and the paths around the building tobe kept clear, which of itself was no easy ‘“‘chore,” as the villagers said. It really seemed that winter as though the snow fell every day. — All the coasting, the skating, the tobogganing, which the young people enjoyed so fully, was given up by Dick, who, as sexton, found no time for play. He protected his hands with leath- ern gloves and his pantaloons with overalls, ang nobody saw 4 cloud on hjs face nor heard a sigh as be manfully attacked bis duties. He

}

did find time for his studies, thoagh, and his place in hie <iasses was higher than ever. The head-master complimented him openly at chapel exercises one day, and the boys, whe hed at first dubbed him **O!d Mortality,” and poked fun at his sexton-ship, began to be proud of him as a leader.

The cold came down one February night with a sharpness which the oldest inhabitant did not recollect. There came a long period of skating—such skating as sets the blood dancing, and paints the cheeks red, and makes life a splendid holiday. Poor Dick counted on one day's tiolic in the season, but on the very day he selected, the ladies gave an im- promptu supper in the church parlor, which detained him, and that very night there came one of the heaviest snow-falls of the whole winter.

Disappointed as he was, the sight of his little bank-book, and the thought of the gold pieces deposited every month, and the Pills promptly met, comtorted him very rch, Then, too, his father was getting well, and Dick was not a baby to cry over a trifle.

The boys, however, held an indignation meeting one day after school.

“I'll tell you what,” said Lewis Hunter, ‘Dick Hanford won't get his skates on once this winter. It’s simply too bad I suppose when the next thaw comes it ll put an end to the ice for the yaar.”

‘I vote that we all go up to the church

with shovels to-morrow nforning in a regular brigade—a relief party—and help him out with his work, on condition that he goes to Crystal Lake with us in the afternoon, and skates in the annual mate).”

This proposition came from Ronald Dexter.

It was received with acclamation, and was carried out. So, with a clear conscience and light heart, Dick joined the party on the lake. The only drawback to full enjoyment was the fact that several fellows who did not know much about skating had insisted on being of the company. Of course they did not enter the lists with those who skated for the

prize—a silver pin presented hy the sisters of the members of the club to the champion win- ner—-but they skirmished around ou the edges,

made a great deal of noise, and oceasionaliy met with an accident.

The number who were competing for the prize had gradually lesseued till only two,

Ron Dexter and Dick Hanford, almost side by side, with a long, sinuous, graceful sweep ‘of motion. were nearing the goal. Suddenly there was a cry of distress in the rear. Ronald kept on Steadily, Dick hesitated, paused, and turned back.

It was little Jack Mason, who, fired with

ambition to do his best, had skated as near the course as he daed, determined to come in as close to the goal as the winners, if

he could. His skate had caught in a seamy

place and he had been thrown violently

down, and was unconscious. A crowd of frightened boys had preseatly gathered about their prostrate comrade.

“He is dead,” said Aleck Prime. - “Not dead, only faint,” said Dick. ‘‘Don't raise him; lay hin down, so, his head a little lower than his body. He'll come to presently and then we'll tura te, bear a hand, and carry him honie.”

‘*Mother,” said Dick that evening, as he sat beside her for a few minutes’ talk before bedtime, ‘‘this has been a very busy winter; but I feel as if I had grown an inch every way, not in stature alone.”

‘My boy has gained in manliness by his experience,” said the mother softly.

Just then Ronald Dexter, Lewis Hunter, and a half dozen others made a call. They were the bearers of the silver pin, which they declared belonged to Dick for his humanity In resigning his chance of winning it, that he might go to the help of Little Jack.

“Take it Dick,” insisted Ronald. ‘1 should never enjoy keeping it, for you fairly gave

me the race. Tue girls will like better that you should wear it than I. Next year we'll try again.”

By the next year Dick’s father was com-

pletely restored to health, and there was no occasion for Dick serving as sexton. He re- signed in favor off, stout Irishman, who did not, for all his tough muscles and broad shoulders, give as much satistaction as Dick had, for brains will tel] everywhere.

The best outcome of Dick's hard winter was not reached until afew years afterward, when he was taken into Judge Arnold's office to study law.

“A plucky, trustworthy young man, with a clear purpose, and grit enough to hold on,” said the Judge. “I've keptmy eye on him since the winter, when he lighted the fires and rang the bell for our chureh, and at the same time managed to have the best examination papers in the whole academy.”

Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we live in! Nature gives us grandeur of mountains, glens and oceans, and thousands of means of enjoy- ment. We can desire no better when in per- fect health; but how often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, dis- couraged and worn out with disease, when there is no occasion for this feeling, as every sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory proof, that Green’s August Flower will make them free from disease, as when born. Dyspepsia and liver complaint are the direct causes of seventy-five per cent. of such maladies as billiousness, sick headache, costiveness, nerv- ous progtration, indigestion, dizziness ot the head, palpitation of the heart, and other dis tressing symptoms. Three doses of August Flower will prove its wonderful effect. Sample bottle, 10 ets. Try it. ii ae —
