THOSE WI NTHROP LOOMS
Mr. Solomon Winthrop was a plain old
farmer—an uuslerv, precise man who did
every thing by established rules. and could
see no reason why people should grasp at
things beyond what had been reached by
their grv ut grandfathers. He had time
children. two boys and n girl. There was
Jeremiah, seventeen years old; Samuel,
fiftcon; and Funny, fourteen.
It was a cold winter's driy. Samuel was
in the kitchen reading a hook, and so in-
terested was he that he did not notice the
entrance of his father. Jerry was in an op-
posile corner, ongngml in ciphcring outo
sum which he had found in his arithmetic.
“ Sam.“ said the futhcr to his voungcat
buy, have you. worked out that sum 9'"
“ No, father," rrturncil the boy, hesituling
Iy.
“ Didn't I tell you to stick to your will»
mclic till you had dnnr it?" said Mr. Win-
throp, in a severe (one.
Sam hung down his lmud,nml looked
troubled.
“Why haven‘t you done it?“ continued
the father.
“I can't do it, lather." tremblingly re
turned Samuel.
“ Can‘t do it? And why not? Look at
Jerry. there, with his slate and pencil. He
had clpbercd further than you have long be-
fore he was as old us you are."
“ Jerry was slwuys fond of mathematical
problems, father. They have no interest for
me."
" That's because you don’t try to feel an
interest in your studies. What book is that
you are reading?"
“ It is a work on philosophy, father."
“ A work on fiddle-sticks! Go, put it away
this instant. and then get your slate and don't
let me see you any from your arithmetic
until you can work out those roots. Do you
understand me ?"
Samuoi made no answer, but silently he
put away his philosophy, and then he got his
aisle, and sat down in the chimney-corner.
His lip tranbled, and his eye moistened, for
be was unhappy. His father had been harsh
towards him. andhe felt that it was without
a cause.
“ Sam,” said Jerry, as soon as their father
had gone, “ I will do that sum for you."
.” No, Jerry," returned the younger brother
but with s grateful look; “that will hedo-
ceivlng father. I will try in do the sum,
but I four I skull not succeed."
Samuel worked very hard, but all to no . » .
purpose. His mind was not on the subject

Tho-dinner hour came, and annual had
not winked out the sum. H'I father was
mgr! lad obliged the boy to go without his
dinndé'pl the an! tfmc telling bun that he
was so idle. lazy lad.
Poor {Samuel left the kitchen, and there he
set and tried. At length his mind seemed to
pussfmithe wrunghuhad suffered stthe
inndof hisparsngsud took another turn,
and mm a! “Emmott face. There
was a ”to
chamber fit that lie, and not very cold; sud.
getting up, he wast to s closet, and from be
nesth a lg‘lofold clotheshe tookforthsome
long strfp‘s of wood. He was evidently
fashioning some curious affair from these
pieces of wood. He hsd bits of wire, little
scraps of tin piste. pieces of twine and dozens
of small wheels that he made himself, and he
seemed to be working to get the whole to-
gether after some psrticulur fashion of his
own.
Half the ofternoon had thus passed away
when his sister entered his chamber. She
had her apron Mend up in her hand. and
after closing the door softly behind her. she
approached the spot where her brother sat.
“ Here, Sammy! see I have bought you
something to eat. I know you must be
hungry."
As she spoke, she epcned her apron and
took out four mkos. a piece of pie, and some
cheese. The boy was hungry, and hesitated
not to uvnil himself of his sister's kind ofl'er.
He kissed her as he took the cakes and
thanked her.
"oh, what pretty thing is that you are
making?" uttered Fanny, as she gazed upon
her brother‘s labor. “ Wont you give it to
me after it is done 9"
“ Not. this one, sister," returned the boy,
with a smile; ”bull will make you one
equally as pretty."
Fanny thanked her brother, and shortly
afterwards left the room. whilcthc boy went
on with his work.
Before long the various materials that had
been subject to Samuel‘s knife and pincer:
werejoiucd and grooved together in a curious
manner.
The embryo philosopher set the machine
—for it looked very much like u machine—
upou the floor. then gazed on it. His eye
gleumcd with a peculiar glow of satisfaction;
he looked proud and happy. \Vhile he stood
and gazed upon the child of his lnbom, the
door of his chamber opened, and his father
entered.
“What i are you not sudying ?" exclaimed
Mr. Winthrop. as he noticed the boy stand-
ing in the middle of the floor.
Samuel trembled when he hem-cl his fa-
ther‘s voice. and turned pale with four.
“ Hui who! is this ?" said Mr. Winthrop,
as be caught sight of the curious construction
on the floor. ' " This is the secret of your
idleness. Now I see how it is you cannot
muster your studies You spend your time
in making them fly-cages. I‘ll see whether
you'll learn to attend to your lesson or not
There 2"
As the father uttered this common ejacula-
tion, he placed his foot upon the object of
his displeasure. The boy uttered a quick
cry, and sprung forward, but too late. The
curious construction was crushed to atoms
the labor of long weeks. Covering his face
with his hands, he burst into tears.
” Ain't you ashamed?" said Mr. Winthrop;
“ A great boy like you, to spend your time
in making clap-traps, and then cry about it
because 1 choose that you should attend to
your studies! Now go to the burn and help
Jerry with the corn."
The boy was too full of grief to make any
explanation, and without a word he left the
chamber; but for long days afterwards he
was weary and downheartcd.
“ Samuel," said Mr. Winthrop, one dsy
after the spring had opened, " I have seen
Mr. Young, and he is willing to Luke you as
an apprentice. Jerry and I can get along
on the farm, and I think that the best thing
you can do is to learn the blacksmith'strade.
I have given up all hopes of ever making a
surveyor of you, sad if you hsd s farm you
would not know how to measure it or lay it
out. Jerry will now soon-be able to tabs
my pines as surveyor, and I hsve already
made errangements for having him sworn,
and obtaining his commimiou. But your
trade is s good one, however, and I have no
doubt you will be able to make s good liv-
ing of it."
Mr. Young w- 's blacksmith in u neigh-
boring town, and he curried on quite an ex-
tensive business. Mme-over, he had the
rcputstion of beings veryflnc man. Samuel
was delighted with his father's proposal, and
when he learned that Mr. Young also car-
ried on quite s large nicotine shop, he was

“ I understand that they hives: extensive

Now, if my boy Sam is a good workman. as.
you say he is, perhaps he might get a first--
rate situation there.”
Mr. Young looked askauce at Samuel and
smiled.
- “ By the way," continued .the old farmer,
“ what is all this noise I see and hear in the
paper about those Winthrop loomsl They
tell me that they go ahead of anything that
was ever got up before .’”
“ You may ask your son about that," said
Mr. Young. “ It is some of Samuel's busi-
nrss."
“ Eb ! Wbst! My son 2 Some of Sam—”
The old man stopped short and gazed at
his son. He was bewildered. It could not
be that his son—his idle sou—m the in-
ventor or the~grent Wilma-m and
taken all the manufacturers by surprwe.
“ What do you mean 2" be at length in«
quircd.
" It is simply this, father that the loom is
mine," returned Samuel, with conscious
pride; “ I have invented it, and taking out a
patent—right, and have already been offered
ten thousand dollars for the patent right in
two adjoining States. Don‘t you remember
that clap-trap you crushed with your foot
six years ago ?"
“ Yes,” answered the old man, whoseeyu
were bent to the floor, and over whose mind
a new light seemed. to be breaking.
“ “Fell," continued Samuel, “ that was al-
most It pattern, though. of course, I have
made much alteration and improvement,
and there is room for much more."
“ And that was what you were studying
when you used to stand and see me weave,
and when you fumbled about. my loom so
much .9" said Mm Winthrop.
“ You are right, mother. Even then I had
conceived the idea which I have since car-
ried out."
“And that is why you could not. under-
stand my mathematical problems," uttered
Mr. Winthrop, as he started from his chair,
and took the youth by the hand. “ Samuel,
my son, forgive me for the harshness I have
used toward you. I have been blinded, and
now see how I have misunderstood you.
While 1 have thought you idle and careless.
you were solving a philosophical problem I
could never have comprehended. Forgive
me. Samuel: I meant well enough, but lack-
ed ju dgement and discrimination?”

A Boy’s Herolsm.
“ O dear." sighed John Allen, as he closed
the Sabbath school library book, " how I
wish I had a. chance to do something hero-
ic I am sick and tired of this humdrum
life out here in the woods. Nothing to do
but to drive the cows away in the morning.

thing only would happen once in a while i"
“ When you have lived to be as old as I
um," said his grandfather, u white-heeded
man on the verge of the grave, “ you will
learn that there is heroism in every day life
that is quite assublime as those rare acts
which are heralded from one end of the
country to the other."
“ Yes, I suppose you are right grandpa—
of course you are; but I would like to do
one of those rare acts myself. It would
seem to make a great man of me; and I
know it would make me very happy, too."
He took down his old straw hatnshc

up the cows.
He found All but one, a favorite heifer
which belonged cutirély :6 himself, sud
which be was calculating would some dsy
bring him a nice sum of money toward fin-
ishing his education. So, after driving the
rest of the cows into the barnyard, he
went back to search for the missing sul-
msl.
As he was crossing the railway track, he
stopped suddenly and turned pale. Some
wretch had removed several ralls,aud of
course, unions the engineer could be warned
in season, the express train, which would be
along in hslf an hour, would be dashed to
utter ruin.
John’s heart seemed for a moment to stop
hating, while his head grew dizzy. Only
for a moment. The safety of hundreds,
their salvation from a fearful death, depend-
ed upon him alone, for there was no time to
call upon others for assistance.
With wonderful rapiditity he at once
gathered together a pill: of bmshwood,
tossed it on the track, and set fire to it,
which was an easy thing for him to do, the
light material was a tinder. Then he watch-
ed it, so carefully, gathering momma more,
and heaping them on, and kecfiog the
flames high and bright.

and his head was so dizzy maths hardly re-

A True Wife.
Daniel Webster once said: “ There is
nothing upon this earth that can compare
with the faithful attachment of a wife; no
creature who, for the object of her love, is
so indomuitsble, so persevering, so ready to
suflsr and die. Under the most depressing
circumstauws, woman’s weakness becomes a
mighty power, her timidity beeomcs fear-
less courage, all her shrinking and sinking
pass: away, and her spirit acquires the
firmness of marble-adamnntine firmnm—
when circumstances drive her to put forth
all her energies under the inspiration of her
affection. It is the bubbling stream which
flows gently, the little rlvulet which runs
along day and night by the farm house this:

cataract. Niagara excites our wonder und
we stand amazed at the power and great-

low of His hand. Butone Niagara isenough

world requires thousands and tens of thou}
ands of silver fountains and flowing rivu-
lets, that water every farm sud meadow and
garden, and that shall flow on every day
and night with their gentle, quiet beauty.

great deeds, like the martyrs that good is to
be done, but by the daily sud quiet virtues
of our life, the Christian's temper. the good
