gret eight eow tall sho is exclaimed one ho i aint afraid of her nor a dozen uka her cried the big boy of the school nor i either cried ths big bojs little ally i could lick her easy enough couldnt you tom i yes and i will too if sis does tj touch me hush cried ono of the girls she will hear you by this tima she had nearly reached the door round which we clustered and every eye was fixed upon her face w ith an eiger j et bashful az nncer tain as yet what vetdict to pass upon her good morning chiliircn eiib said m the kindeit roice in the orld while her face was lighted by the sweetest smile imaginable this is a beautiful morning to commence school isitrnfti i know i ebill lore her whitpored aj little pfr in my ear 1 we all followed her into tha school room except tom jones and his ally who witched until the rest were seated and then cima in with a swaggering nnisy gait and a sort of dare devil saucy loot as much as to say who fcarea for you f hits- wescott looked at them kind lj but appeared not to notice them further after a ehort prayer and rending a chapter in the bible she passed round the room and mada eome inquiry of each one in regard to them selves and thiir studies and what is your name v she asked iayinj her hand upon toms head while he sat with his hands in his pockets swinging his body forwards and backwards i tom jones ehoutad he at the top of his voice how old are you thomas t bhe asked i just ag old aijin as half answered tom with a saucy iaiiijh whafdo you study thomas v nothing what books have you none without appearing to be at all di- ono or two urgn boya in my school you can be of groat qi8tanco to mo thomas if j ou will slop a few moments after school this aflernooa we will talk over a little plan i he formed this wni a mjatery to nil and par ticulaily to tom wlo could not com prehend low he could bo useful lo anybody and for the lirst time in his lifi ho felt as if he was of some import ance fa the wot id he had alwa been called the had boy at school and he took a sort of piide in being feared by the children and dreaded ly the teacher jliss wescott at once comprehended his w hole character and began to shape things accordingly she maintained that a boy who h twelve jears of age made himself fetrcd among his school fellows was capable of being made something of heretofore all influence had conspired o make him bad and perhaps a desperate character sho was determined to transform his characlel by bringing an opposite influence to- work upon him and lo tflct this she must grst gaid his confidcree which could not be done in a batter way than by letting him feel that ihc placed con fidence in him when school was oat more than half the scholars lingered about the donr wondering what afis wescott i ad to say lo tom jones he had often been bidden to remain after school but it was always to receive punishment or a severe- lecture and nine times out of ten he would jump out of the window beforo half the school were out of the room hut it was evidently for a diffeient purpose that ho was to remain now and no one wondared what it could be more than tom jonea dont yoa hunk thomas that our schoolroom would be a great deal pleasant6t if we had soma evergreens to hang around it something to make it cheerful f inquired miss wescott ycam and i know whore i can- gtt plenty of theut well tuomas if yoa will have some here by eight oclock to morrow morn ing i will lie here to help yoa put them up and we will give the children a pleasant surprise here are some books i will give you thomas you may pat them in your drawer j they are what i want you to sludj but i ciat study geography and history exclaimed tom confused i never did that is the reasop why yon think you cannot replied jlks wescott i am sure you can and yoa will love them i kno nobody ever cared whether i learn ed am thing or not before said tom with some emotion well i care said ifiss wescoll with earnestness j yon are capable of becoming a great and good man you are now farming your character for life and it depends upon yourself what you bscoaie tha poorest boy in tle coun try has an eqiul chance with the wealthiest and his circumstances are mare favorable for becoming eminent for he learns to depend upon himself i will assist you alt i can in your studies thomas and i know you will cceed remember that i am your friend aad come to ma in every diffi culty j tom jones had not heeu brought up j ifa had come up because he had been born into the world and could not help it but as for any mental training he was as ignorant of it as a wild bramble- of a pruning knife his father was tn intemperate bad mac and his mothei a totally inefficient woman at homa he received nothing bat blows and abroad nothing but abuse his bad passions were therefore all excited and fostered and his good ones were never called out he always expected that his teachers would hate him so he uronaed anew his combative powers to oppose them and he had made up his mind to turn the new echoolmaam out ef doors when therefore jliss wescott said she was glad to have him in her school be was amazed and that she should manifest such en interest for him and give him a set of bobks was perfectly incomprehensible to mm miss witscott understood hib position end character and determined to modify them bhr felt that he was equally cupable of good and bad actions tnough the bad now predominated she knew that his active mind must be busy one might as well think of chaininj the that lid spirit lo books she woul give him employment but such as would cull out a new train of ideas and thoughts he must feel that he vit doing good for otbeia sake and that he was dot guided along by his own wayward will and yet there must be no appearance of restraint upon bini he must choose to do good i tom jones went home thai night with a new feeling in his breast for ike grst lime in bis life ht felt lhat he was capabk of rising above tia present condition and becoming somewhat greater and better than be was his raiud became feundated with new and altaoge emotions and like a raighlv nyer turned from its course his thoughts and ensrgies from that hour sought a new ditection the next morning he was np with the dawn and when miss wescoll arrived at the school house ehe found tom jones there with his evergreens i good morning thomas she said kindly so yoa are here before me yoa must have risen early and i see you have found some beautiful ever greens now if yoa will help me hung- tlcra tj trill fianrtho luuumlt arranged by nine oclock t haye biought a hammer and ome nails said tom r i thought we should need some ies so we shall i am glad yon thought of it rephed miss wescott that day every scholar looked amized to see tom jones actually studjing his j book and hear him answer several questions correctly and they were sail more confounded whun at recess miss wescott said you will take core of these little childrea will you not and see that they do not gat hurt l you must be their protector ono would as soon have thought of i salting a olf to guard- flock of lamba as tom jones to take good care of little children well exclaimed sam evans c i never saw such a schoolmaam in all my- life did j ou tom t j no repliod tom but i wish 1 had and i would have been a different boy fiom what 1 am now but i am going to study now and laain some thing miss wescott says i can and i am determined to trv it was astonishing to observe the effect miss wescotts treatment of tom had upon the scholars they began to consider him of soma importance and to feel a sort of respect for him which ibey manifested first by dropping the nickname tom and aubitilulicg tommy which certainly revealed a j more tindly feeling toward him in less than a week miss wescott had the school completely under her control yet it was by love and respect that she governed and not by any iron rule she moved among her scholars a very queen and yet she gained their confidence and esteem lhat it did not seem to iheni eabmissive to anothers will bat the promptings oftbeir own desire to please one glance of her dark eye would have quelled an insur rection and one amilo made hem happj for a day julia wescott understood human nature sho made it a study as ever teacher ought to do she rooted out error and prejudice from the minds of her pupils showed them the evil of sin and beauly of virtue the advantages of education and the oonstquence of ignorance taught them their own capabilities and responsibilities and she adapted her instructions to capici lies and necessities and thus she went on j eii after year scattering good seed into good ground and she reaped an abundant harvest from many a happy home and high ilace came a blessing upon her and there is no one that breathes hr name with greater leverence or remembers her with mure grateful aflection than tom jones who has glleu with ability one of the iigbest judicial offices in the country and freely acknowledges that he owes his present character and position under gods providence to her tieat- ment and instructions the end of a baohelor not a lanbb waa heard nor
