"Well, John," I said, "I attended a similar matinee myself once when I was young. The plan nas the merit of in cluding the culprit, yet I fancy the rest of the pupils might consider it uufair." The first by now stood up again. "Master," he ventured hesitatingly, "I think it is no more 'unfair than saying that the imputation rested on us all merely because some boy who you can not find out has told a lie." "You are right," I said, "and I was wrong in saying so. Only one boy is guilty, and I will never believe until his conduct convinces me that there is an other in this room who is so cowardly and untruthful.". I arose aud went quickly down the room, seized Atkins by the collar and jerked him in the middle of the aisle, and with a vigorous shove sent him "My life hjs run through light and shade 1 headlong forward towards the platform mu t'uu it uiawiug 11u.tr 1 loujt for ixoi nil undismayed, Aud ak no; back one year."

J (ishioniibw Tailor, ... i -a ii '.-r.'i-4'-ffia J I w Shortly after I took charge of a large town school an incident occurred that showed me how little dependence there Is to be placed in the honor or truthful ness of an average big boy. During re cess the pupils were in the hubit of writing with chalk 011 the blackboards that completely surrounded the school room. This so filled the roora with chalk dust that the breathing was dim- cult, so I forbade the writing. One day when I had been out with the pupils in in the yard, I came to the school room and saw Master Tommy Atkins alone in the room industriously writing the sen tence, "Do not write on the black boards." So I quietly withdrew without attracting the boy's notice, and when I next entered the room was empty. When school was called the eyes of all were turned to the audacious hand writing on the wall. When quiet was re stored I sa id : "Who wrote that sentence?" There was no answer. ' "Now," said I, ' the chances are that those words were written by some one now in this room. I intend to And out who is thn culprit. The crime is not a great one, but if to it is added persistent falsehood it will become serious, in my I with a speed that taxd his agility to keep hi3 ieet. I whirled him around facing the pupils and cried : "Atkins, who wrote that sentence oh the wall?" "I I I did, sir." "Of course you did. Now I am go ing to reverse John's plan. I am going to concentrate on your shoulders the punishment that the down East teacher distributed over the whole school. Go to my room sir." , "Oh, Mr. Jones, I'll never, never do so again ." "Iknow you won't. Go to my room." I believe that flogging, like everything else, if dine at all should be done well. I don't helieve in a dress parade. I scarcely ever had to whip a boy twice, on the same principle (hat the lad said lightening didn't strike twice in the same spot because it didn't need to. When it became necessary for a boy to have an interview with me in. my room, he rarely ever forgot the circumstances. I always taught school, on a free and easy manner. I allowed ample room for free and easy speech, and encouraged it, and I never laid any claims to that in fallibility which many teachers surround themselves with. Boys are quick to de lect humbug, and a teacher never loses prestige with them by admitting that he doesn't know everything. Although , the incident I have alluded to cousumeJ the greater part of the forenoon, I never eyes at least. Let the pupil who diso-1 beyed have the manliness to stand up I thrashed another boy there, and when .1 1 1 .1 u p ..i. 1 - ! . - . . oeioie ine 1 asked the pupils afterward who did any particular thing, some one instant- fault CfRAHATif, N C.

The boys looked at each other, but no one moved. "Well, all that did not write that sen tence btand." Like one boy the whole school arose to its fee', Atkins among the rest. I next had each boy to stand up sepa "Jim Iliggins, sir." Jim was the biggest and worst boy in school, and I thought that if it came to a tussel between us, as I felt it inevita bly would, there was every chance that Jim would get the best of me. I make no bones of the fact that I was afraid of him and I had endeavored quite unsuc cessfully to propitiate him during the week that school had been going on. At this moment Jim entered the yard, squeezing a snow-ball with his hands between his knees after the manner of boys who want to make a hard one. lie was making for his pile when he noticed me standing by it, when ho stopped, straightened up and looked at me a mo ment as if ho hesitated whether to drop the snow-ball or brazen it out. The silence and the eyes of the whole school on him braced him up, and he cried : "Master, gimme leave ?" "Certainly." With a movement like lightening he flung the snow-ball directly at my head. I ducked like a flash but the ball took the rim off my hat and plastered it against the neighboring fence. I had been no slouch of a snow-baller myself iu my youthful days, but I never flung a-ball with such vengeance as that. I sprang erect and said : "Now its your turn," and sent my ice bolt at him as if it had come from a cannon. He ducked, of course, but I had calculated on that, and the r-all hit square on the ear with a thud that made my heart stand still. He flung his arms over his head and fell back against the gate by which he had just entered. His face was pale and he gasped for breath. Although with set teeth and tears in his he smiled a ghastly smile. "O, mastsr !" he sobbed, "your arm's a heavy oue." "You see, Jim," I said with a lightness I did not feel, 'Vnow-balls like chickens come home to roost." "They do that," gaspfd Jim, as be poked the crushed ice out of his ear with his -forefinger, "and they roost mighty solid, you bet." He was sjrit clear through and never whimpered. When school was assembled I said: "Boys, the trustees hired me to teach the young dea how to shoot. I have given to Jim, there, a lesson in shooting, that if it didn't as is too often the case, go in at one ear aud out at the other, came very near doing so.

I won't say anything about it this time, but it had better stop. Some one will get hurt." I expected that old Iliggins would be down the next day with a shotgun, but Home Hints for Spring. Bureau and washstand covers are among the most common pieces of fan cy work, and are of countless designs. Among the prettiest, this winter, are those of crash or nomie cloth, made in scarf pattern, with the ends in embroid ery and diawn work, from a quarterto a half yard broad. They may be done with colored s'.lk, but are much prettier wfcen worked with the threads " which have been taken from the material The fringe, which is formed by drawing out threads, when the work is all done, has a broad heading made by alternately ta king out and leaving seven or . eight threads ; and, over those left, work a cross-stitch or feather-stitch. Above this are broad, open patterns of drawn work, and ribbon may be drawn through, or a bright color placed under. There should be a pin cushion cover to match. Mantel and window lambrequins are made in the same way, or they may bo crocheted with fisherman's twine to imi tate the. Macrame work, which is so much more difficult. Any pretty pat tern of knitted or crocheted edging can be used, and a fringe added, or colored assets of chenille on each point. Table linen, in a full, good supply of which a good housekeeper takes pride, is varied und beautiful enough to satis fy any taste. There are table cloths and napkins suited to every occasion, and evcy course from soup to coffee and fruit, with appropriate designs in colored or white embroidery ; but an in itial or monogram, worked in white, with or without fringed sides, which can be washed without fear of losing color, seems most desirable. Damask cloths of red or gayish brown are pretty and economical for breakfast and tea. The latest imported styles for napkins are long and narrow, like towels. These napkins protect the dress very per fectly, aud are to be welcomed for this reason. ' The large stores in the cities bring out their Ginghams, prints and muslins in early spriug, and it is well to make up plain summer dresses now. Styles which are simplest and can be donn eas ily are :hozen for such goods. Plain blouse waists, plaited or gathered into a belt, a plaiu over&kirt looped high on the hip with an underskirt tucked or trimmed with gathered flounces, always laundry well. For children a blouse waist, skirt of two or three scant ruffles, with a broad dash of the material tied behind, is very i)reity. It is best to make up under-clothing early if dgnc at home. If one wishes a combination of corset-cover skirt and chemise, which is popular and desirable, a close fitting polonaise pattern, with the back seams cut ofl to an ordinary basque length, and two plain breadth gathered on and sewed into the long front side scams, will make a garment quite as satisfactory as those which cost two dollars aud a hlf. Ex. To Dyspeptics. The most common signs of Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, are an oppression at tho stomach, nausea, flatulency, water-brash, heart-born, vomiting, loss of appetite, and Constipation. Dytpeptle patients suffer un told miseries, bodily and mental. They should stimulate the digestion, and secure regular daily action of the bowels, by the use of moderate dotes of Ayeis Pills. After the bowel are regulated, one of these Pills, taken each day after dinner, is usually all that is required to complete the cure. Area's Pills are sugar-coated and pure.y vegetable a pleasant, entirely safe, and re liable medicine for the cure of all disorders of the stomach and bowels." They arc thai best of all purgatives for family use. . ntZFABSB BY Dr. J.O. Ayer &Co.t Lowell, Mat. Sold by all Druggists. WARE IN Graham5 1 C. TO Farmers, Contractors. ' : and Others !
