"Oh yes, Emily, if you wish it," was Mr. Garie's reply. "I will search out a school to-morrow, or next day;" and taking out his watch, he continued, "it is near twelve o'clock how the night has flown away we must be off to bed.

Garie retired a few feet from the window, and stood listening to the shouts in the street. The rioters, led on evidently by some one who knew what he was about, pressed forward to Mr. Garie's house; and soon the garden in front was filled with the shouting crowd. "What do you all want why are you on my premises, creating this disturbance?" cried Mr. Garie. "Come down and you'll soon find out.
