A Lesson long Remembered. |

as }

The following story was originally | published io the Massachusetts Teacher | for 1834. The lesson is still fresh, and | so is the genial wriler :—

“In one of the most populous cities of New England, some years since, a party of lads, all members of the same | school, got upa grand sleigh ride. There was about twenty-five or thirty boys engaged in the frolic. The sleigh | was a very large and splendid estab/ish- | ment, drawn by six grey horses. The afternoon was as splendid as anybody could desire, and the merry group en— joyed themselves in the highest degree. It was a common custom of the school in which they belonged, and on previ- ous occasions their teacher had accom-

inied them. Some engagement upon important business delayed, however, occupying him, he was not at this time with them. It was quite likely, had it been otherwise, that the restraining in- fluence of his presence would have pre- vented the scene which is the main featu e@ of the present story.

“On ihe day following the ride, as be entered the school-room, be found the pupils grouped about the stove and ip high merriment, as they cbatted about the fun and frolic of their excursion. He stopped awhile and listened ; and,in in answer to some questions which bh: made about the matter,one ef the lads —a fine, fraik, aod maniy boy, whose heart was in the right place, thoagh his love of sport sometimes led aim astruy—volun'eered to vive a narrative of their trip and its various incidents. As he drew near the end of his story,he exclaimed ; ‘Oh,sir, their was one little cireamstance which I had almost for- gotten totell you. Toward the latter

rt of the afternoon, as we were com- ing home, we saw, at some distance ahead of us, a queer-looking affair io the road. Wecould not exactly make out what it was. It seemed tobe a sort of half-and-half monstrosity. As we approached it,it proved to be a rusty old sleigh, fastened behind a covered wagon, proceeding at a very slow rate, and taking up the whole road. Finding that the owner was not disposed to ‘urn out, we determined on a volley of snow- ballsand a good purruh. These were given with relish, and they produced the right effect, and a little more; for the cruzy machine turned cut into the decp snow by the side of the road, ord the skiany old pony started ona full trot. As we passed,some Oue who had the whip gave ibe old jilt of a horse a good crack, which made him ran faste: than he did before, I'll warrant. And 80, with another volley of snowballs, pitched into the front of the wagon,and three times three cheers, we rushed by. With that, an old fellow in the wagon, who was buried up under an old hat and beneath a rusty cloak, aod who droppel the reins, bawled out—*Why do you frighten my horse?’ ‘Why don’t you turn out, then?’ says the driver. So We gave him three rousing cheers more; his horse was frightened again, and ran up against a loaded team, and, I believe, uimost capsized the old creature ; and so we left him.”

“Well, boys,” replied the instructor “that is quite and incident. But take your seats; aod after oar morning ser— vice is ended, I will tuke my turn and tell you a story, and all about a sleigh ride too.”

Having finished the realing of a chapter in the Bible, ‘and after all had joined io the Lord’s Prayer, he com- menced, as follows :—

“Yesterday afternoon, a ve ry yener- able and respectable old rjan, and a clergyman by profession *vas on his way from Boston to Saler,, to pass the residue of the winter at the house of his son. That he might be, prepuired for journeying, as he prowesed todo iu the spring,he tom« with him his light

wagon, De was, just as [ have told you ver". old and ictirm ; bis temples Were covered with thin locks, which the fre sty of eighty years had whitened ;

his sight and hearing too, were rome- what biuated by age, as yours will be, should you live ty be aseid, He was proceeding very slowly and quietly ; for his horse was old and feebie, like bisowoer. His thoughts reverted to the scenes of his youth, when he bad rilled his life in fighting for the iberties of his country, to the scenes of riper years, wheu the hard hand of pen- ury had lain heavily upon him, While thus occupied, almost forgetting bim- selfin the multitude of bis thoughts, he was suddenly disturbed, and even terrified, by loud hurrahs from bebind, and by afurious pelting aad clatter- ing of balls of snow and ice upon the top ofhis wagon. In his trepidations, he dropped his reins: and as, hisaged and feeble hands were quite beoumbed with cold, he found it impossible to gather them up, and hi» horse began to run away. “In the midst of the old man’s trouble there rushed bylim with lend, shouts, a larre party ot boys in a sleigh drawn by six horses, “Turn out, ture out, old tellow! “Give us the road, old boy! “Whet'll you take for the bonny old daddy? “Go it, frozen pose! “What's the price of oats?” were the various cries (hat met his ears *Pray, du not frighten my horse,

away with him, to the imminent danger of his life. He contrived, however, after some ex rtion, to secure his reins, which had been out of his hands’ during the whole of the affray, and to stop his horse just in se ison to prevent his being dashed agains: a loaded team.

“As he approaches d Salem, he over- took a young man who was walking to- ward the same place, and whom he in- vited toride, The young man alluded to the ‘grand sleigh’ which had just passed, which induced the old gentle- man to inquire if he knew who the boys were. Hereplied that he did; that they all belong to one school, and were

a set of wild fellows. ‘Ab!’ exclaim- ed the former, wich a heartly laugh

(for his constant good nature had not been disturbed) ‘do they, indeed? Why, their master is very well known tome. ITamnow going to his house, and Ll rather think I shall give him the benefit of his whole story.’

“A short distance brought him to his journey’s end, the house of his son. His old horse was comfOrtably housed and fed, andhe himself abuntantly provided for, Thatson, boys, is your jostructor; and that aged asd infirm old man, that ‘old fellow’ and ‘old boy’ (who did netturn ont for you, but

would gladely have given you the whole road, had he heerd your ap-

proach,) that ‘old boy,’ and ‘old daddy, and ‘frozen nose,’ was Rev- Dariel ‘iver, your master’s father, now at my house, where hearid I will giadly wel- come apy and all of you.”

It isnot easy to describe nor to imagine the effor t produced by this new translation of the boy’sown narrative. Some buried their heads behind their desks, some cried, some looked askant at each “ther, and many hastened down to the desk of the teacher with apolo- gies, regrets, ani acknowledgments without end. All were freely pardoned but were cautioned that they should be Dore civil for the tuture to innoffensive travellers, and more respectfully to the aged and infirm......... 7

Years have passed by ; the lads are men, though some have found an early grave, the “manly boy” is ‘tin the deep bosom of the ocean buried.” They whe survive, should'this story meet their eye, will easily recall its scenes, and throw their memories back to the school-house in “Federal street,” Salem, and totheir old friend and teacher, Henry K. Oliver.
