Now laugh again, if you dare.'- And we dident dare.' ' , Well it is curious that most every deveeish boy in every school is named Jim. The very name seems to make a boy dev- elish. They generally make notable men, and some of them climb very high. There is James Madison and James Mdnroe and Polk and' Buchanan and Gar field, i And Jimmy Blaine is cavorting around and thinks he ought to be president just be cause his name his Jim. If theretis any other good reason I don't know it. And 1 went to school "with Jim Wilson and Jim Alexander and. Jim Ward law and Jim Linton arid Jim IFalker and they were a sight. There is i another thing to be noted about schoolboys. They always call their teaeners 'old.' They called Dr. Patterson 'old Pat,' and Professor McKoy 'old Mack,' and Professor Waddell 'old Pewt,' and there was old Nahum and old Beeman, and old Fouch and old Isham. We were talking about old Isham, and one of our party said : I went to school to him, and sometimes he would slip up on a boy as slyly as a cat upon a rat, and eaten mm mas- ins Dictures on his slate. He would hover over him a mo er wbo nas crossea line of desbair. "We are glad to see you, here," said an exhorter. as he got down iiAHuln the earnest mourner.

There was no meekness. no sorrow, in her face ; the stnn out of which murderers are made instead. All the time Haley atd the woman were laying straight the limbs and cleaning the cell, Debo rah sat still, keenly watching the Quaker's face. Of all the crowd that day, this womau aione nau not spoken to her, only once or twice had put some cordial to her lips. After they all were gone, t'.e woman, in the same still, gentle way, brought a vase of wood-leaves and berries, and placed it by the nailer, then opened the narrow window. The fresn air blew in. and swept the woody fragrance over the dead face. Deborah look ed no with a quick wonder. "Did hnr know my boy wad liKe it ? Did bar know Hughl" 'I know Hugh now." The white lingers passed in a slow, pitiful way over the dead, orn race. There was a neavy shadow in the quiet eyes.
