A School Teacher's Story.
In the winter of 17-1 -."i 1 was teaching
n country school in t) lio, not far from
the village of Medio t. I was a i?irl only
17 years old, mi l weighed less than 100
pounds, utiil those who knew mo would
have laughed at the idea of my having
any presence of minil in the face of
danger.
It was a walk of a mile to the farm
house where I was hoarding, and in
stormy weather I was conveyed to nnd
fro in the sleigh. It was clearly under
stood that should il come on to sn 'w
and bluster during lie' day the farmer
was to come for mo at the close of school.
In ordinary weather the walk was one to
he enjoyed, .lust after noon on (he
l:lth day of .l.-iminry it began
to snow and Mow in the most furious
milliner, while the temperature fell 20"
inside of two hours. We had a snug
liriek schoolings-, a large pile of dry
wood, nnd no on : knew how cold it w as
until school was dismissel for tho day.
Then there were many c unplaints from
the scholar?, Init ali finally got away and
I was left alone to wait for the f,irni"i's
sleigh, which I had every reason to be
lieve would f-oon be at the door. It was
almost dark at I .clock, and I got- my
things on nnd sat down by the stove mid
waited three-quarters cf an hour b'fore
beginning to won hr why Farm t Wat
kins did not drive up. We had a coiipl'j
of lamps, and I lighted one and began
work on an intricate mathematical prob
lem. Time slipped fa-it away, and when
1 got up it was half-p ist . I then felt
that some accident ha I h ippened my
friends and tlnn' would not cone for
me, and 1 decided to font it h 'in-. I
hnd not left the scluvilh m e a bin, died
feet behind when 1 p-alu-d that I inu-t
return to it. The win 1 was blowing at
the rate of fifty miles an hour, and di
rectly in my f ice, while tie' air was so
full of snow that one could not see siv
feet a way. That night th" tM-rinonn'tcr
registered 17 degrees below Z'-ro, and
much live stock fi'-- to death.
It was a bit lonesome when I re
turned to the schoolh no- and let my
self in and felt the little structure tremb
ling under the rising g ile, but I n -lighted
the lamps, brought in n lot ol
wood Iroin the slorc-room, and found
enough of my noonday meal left in the
basket to tak he edge of my hunger
(iff. I had no idea of being obliged to
pass the night there, but confidently ex
pected to bo called for at any moment.
It had come to be s o'clock, ami I was
getting very nervous, when the outside
door opened and I heard a step in the
hall. 1 juinp.'d up to cloio the stove
and turn out toe lights, luu before 1
luid acconiili-lied the latter ob ject the
door to the schoolroom was opened nnd
in walked a total stranger. lie was
covi red with sum, and his cap was
diawndow u until must of his fueu was
hidden. He lid not seem to even ghiuc-i
lit me, but advanced to the stove, shook
off the snow, pulled op cap mid over
coat, and tln n held out his hands to the
w hi mill. I was what you might justly
term diimfoiiiided. Time was no fear
of him, but his urn-xpertc-i ml vent and
the cool manner in w hich ho acted ipiite
took.niy breath away for a couple of
minutes. However, I finally found
voieo to inipi're:
"Did Uncle Hill send you for mei"
Ho looked mo in the eyes for ft few
seconds, ami then walked through to
the outer door, locked it, rnniii bnck to
the inner door and licl.e.1 that, and a
he slipped the keyes into his pocket, lie
ai;'"
"Thij is going to bo a'littcrcold
night."
A. fnintness came over mo as lie spoke,
nd I had to sit down. We were on the
opposite sides of tho stove, nnd I saw
that ho was a man of about :t0, medium
height, slight build, and respectable
appearance. There was nothing ab ut
him of the tramp or tough, and his voice
u u pleasant one. 1 was certain I had
never seen him before, and I also tell
from the lirt that tin-re was soinething
wrong in his coining the way he did.

would have been III' I ot remarks and
questions, and lie would not have locked
the doors on u. 1 looked him over HU(
one ina dream. 1 felt a gn at faint lies'
and a great fear, nnd yet 1 could noi
help lut watch him. lie did not vciiirr
my gn.e. Now and then his eyes me'
mine, but for the uio-t p.ir! he was look- ;
ing inrele-s;y around the room or at tin
stovepipe. Hy and by it caim lo hit
that he was an insane man, nnd for hal
a minute I shut my eves and had tin !
hardest kind ol a li.l.t to keep froir
fainting awa Wle n I op in-d then !
he was regarding me with -. i iiTinint. (
leer, nnd directly he -.it I:
"Vnu think you wiil run aw iy frorv
school, but I shall have my eyes i n you
all the time. School will now begin." 1
Ho went to my 'lis'.i and lang tin
hand bell in a viooi o'h inaini' i, picked .
up a ruler and a Iiooa, a id tie i:, stand-,
ing in front of the disk he, sai l to me
"t'ias in orthography c-iiiiefi rward."
While a I to'. l you, 1 was tetribh
frightened, ll.altiie pie.n ,- ,, mind!
to undeistand that I had a lunatic tf 1
deal w ith, and that he niu-t be humored. !
When he had ii pealed his coinman I f i
second time I went fm w i;d to a recita- I
tion bench, and he began giving out !
words for me to ii.-l-. The "ii-s.,ou" !
was not haif over wle n my belief in his
insanity was continued. After : In- t' si i
few words he began lo pn-m need back- ;
ward. When he gave i in the word ,
unicorn he pronounced it "conmiii." j
When I gave it the right pi oniineiatioii j
and brgan to spell it in a proper w ay In
interrupted me with : I
"Stop! The world has been going on I
too fast for the lat lift v years, and must I
stop, or be thrown tT its ai-. Wi i
must go backward win re we can.'' .
In iirsiiance of his theory he pro
nounce 1 the word "I'ulti." as "lilful," i
nnd I hum ored him by spelling word- I
that way. Alter about half an hour hi !
laid the book down, complimenting n-.i; ,
on my smartness, and during a recess of j
live minutes he walked up and down the
tloor, wilh his head down and his arms
behind him, like one in deep thought.
Thus far he had betrayed no temper noi
sign of violence, and I began to breathe
easier. 1 even calculated that it might
be possible to trie! him. II" presently
called me ui to recite in geography, and
here his insanity was still more apparent.
When he aske I me what an island was,
and received the answer as given in the
lesson, he stunk the ibk with bis ruler
and exclaimed :
"It is not so. We have been fools.
An island i a hi I 200 hundred feet high,
and these hypocrites km iv it all the
time."
It was II o'c lock at night before he
ceased asking questions in giogiaphy.
Then I asked for permission lo en home
and get my slate pencil, lie ai icided
It, but as I reached the Inked dim he
callel:
"N ', you r in't go, Vou are on of
the i hildren who spit on the 11 or to-day,
and 1 sha I keep you here."'
Ki mil II to 13 1 sit in a chair mar the
stove, while he pae 1 up and down an I
muttered and mumble i in a strange way
to himself. W lii-in v I the lire got low I
replenished it without objections from
him, nor did he seem invar" of tin- storm
raging outside. Just alter midnight he
made me work examples o : tin' Mac k
boaid for an hour, and once or twice
became very much excite I. A. 'cording
to his theory I must not figure that two
and two male four, but that the total
was nothing. This was setting the
world back. Altera rest wo had a reci
tation in grammar, another in reading,
and at :) o'clock he rang the bell, and
e limly observed :
"Children, .-choo! is di-mi-sed. To
morrow being Saturday, then; Mill be no
school. M
Then, without evi n seeming to be
aware of my presence, he put on his
overcoat, 'drew his cap over hia ears, and
passed out into the storm and left me
alone. 1 los'. no time in locking the
doois behind linn, and it was not until
daylight that I got over tho fcai of his

l'rolectinii of Fish,
.etli (Ircen, in the American Agri
culturist, makes this forcible appeal for
the protection of fhh :
The matter of protecting our lish is a
subject which should interest every good
citien, whether he be a fisherman or
not; il is a qu -torn which coiic'ins the
fond supply of th- country, which is
of vit-d importune to every man, woniiu
and child.
The class of li-herni 'ii who do the
ino-l dam age are those who take tin
fish during tin ir spawning seasons. If is
at this time that the lish come into th"
shallow water to complete their ta-k of
pri creation and are then easily captured.
All fish have certain loc-ilities, to which
they resort at the season of the year when
their eggs are inutured and ready tocust.
OiffcTcnt varieties seek different locali
ties. These localities lire well known to
poachers, and where tho full congregate
iu these places in large schools, they
draw their net around them and fre
quently capture the whole lot at a single
haul.
Another method through which our
inland waters are deprived of hundreds
of thousands of young li-h annually, i.
through the means of the murderous
spear and jack light. The depredators
approach the spawning beds of the sal
mon trout, bass or other fish at night ;
the strong light of the jack, as it is
called, thrown upon the water, enables
the spearman to nee down in the clear
water for several feet; the darkness of
the night serves in the same way as a
c loak thrown over the head in tin; day
time iu looking below the ica', through
which, ns many of your renders know,
objec ts can be seen for a considerable)
distaiieo down. The lish have appar
ently little fear of the light, and the boat
is easily paddled up to within a few feet
of the lish, w hen the deadly . spear is sent
into them. Not only lire many captured
in this way, but many are injured which
are not brought to the boat, so that tin y
die by being pierced by the tines of the
spear, and death is the result in a few
hours or days.ac c ording to the injury.
There are also several other ways by
which lish are destroyed while on their
spaw ning beds, ns by shooting, snaring,
etc., but I think I have explained the
matter sullicieutly, and trust it will make
an impression on the minds of my rend
ers, so that they w ill exert tlteir influ
ence to protect the fish from illegal modes
of capture nt all times, and their whole
sale di sti notion, particularly so when
they aro on their spawning beds.
