Then he ?joke in a tone of deep lijiU'aun: "Thin U a intty ie of work! Not half the word iut out vot, mvl everybody tun missed, fx; iJiMin'U' IKiU'. nnil hf the vuun-t of all! I won't hear nueh a l.

Then I will eall the class again, and the very ! flrnt one that make a mistake shall tie pun ished!" The exact form of the threatened punishment wan not Hjuvifled; hut that was not at all nocetwiry- Kvery body knev. Punishment at that time and place did not mean copying verx'i, or loss of recess, or leing kept after hcIiooI, r even marks except sucli a might he left temporarily on fonxvsmarting jmlin hy thj heavy ruler that lay on the master's desk. Master Dunton was a teacher of no little local fame. It was well under stood that he was "a master hand" nt figure, could set a copy almost us plain as print, knew all the rules of grammar by heart, although he was not unduly hampered by them in conversation, and could parse any thing in Pojie's "Essay on Man," or in "Paradise Lost." Perhojis his greatest lack, edu -tionaily ("peaking, was in spelling. Hut as the spelling in schools of that day was oral, and as he could always have the book liefore him when hear ing the lessons, his weakness in that resjiect was hardly worth consider ing. , His sjiecial claim to distinction, however, came from his "govern ment' There was no school In all the country round too hard for him to "keep It out' ; no boy, however ever b. d, or big that dared to dis pute his authority. At the opjiointed time the first class in sjielling was again called, and its members came straggling for ward, elbowing one another Into place. The long row, as finally ar ranged: was graduated aewirding to achievement, rather than height. At the head was stationed Oeorgie Dok, the minister's ten-year-old son, who seldom missed and never misbehaved wh:'le at the foot towered Joseph Niles, a brawny youth who generally missed, and who by his conduct doubtless deserved the frequent chas tisements that fell to his lot. It was evident that the allotted til' teen minutes had been well spent, and the first two Journeys of the spell ing-lesson down the line passed with' out accident. All the words that had been put out before had now been taken care of, but thsre remained the as yet un tried portion of the lesson. "Victuals!" shout d the master, turning to Georgie at the head of the class. But instead of piping back the prompt reply expectvd, Georgie hesi tated, -blushed, and rolled his big blue eves round wildlv, as if he had !een taken by surprise. "Victuals," repeated the master, glancing at the book, ard wondering at the d Jay. Then Georgie, after apparently searching his memory, ventured cautiously, ' V-i-c-t-u-a-I-s, victuals. ' ' "Wrong:" cried the master, in ti tone of dismay.. Then, forgetting in his astonishment to pass the word to the next, he asked sorrowfully, " Why Georgie, how cane you to make such a mistake?" "If you please, sir," faltered Geor gie, "I didn't see that word in the spelling-book." Didn't see it!" roared Master Dun ton, his mood changing at once. "Wasn't it right there before your eyes second word, third cjlumn? What do you mean by such a pre varication as that'.'" Just then a knock at the door di verted the strained attention of the school, and Mr. IMe, the minister, who was also school committeeman, was ushered into the room. He at once discovered that his son was in trouble; for Georgie, althogh he was a brave little fellow and did not fear a whipping, had completely- broken down at the sound of that word 'prevarication." Answering the minister's look of iiKjuiry, Master J Vinton xptuin.-d the situation. -, 4( -''' ,"- , i) ' .r. "v:.!u.i: ; you ;y," ruu Mr.- Dole, gLudng i i . i t . . . . : I 1 ... . . .

"Supjiose you look up the word In your iictionnry," suggested Mr. Dole, Quietly, lminting to a small and sei ill lli-M4eM lxKk that lav upon the desk. - M.i.ii.r lmiilnii w as nuzzled. Could It le that the minister, learned man though he was, presumed to cast u doubt uism the selling Isxik? Hut he began to turn over the page of the dictionary, and at last he announced, rather pomixnwij, "Here It Is; M-t-u-l-s, victuals the parts essential to life. Nothing could be plainer than that." "Now will you look it up the way Oeorgie sjielled It?" i sked Mr. Dole, with a twinkle In his eye. The muster's face fell, and he re newed his search, with a secret fear at his heart. This time there was no note of tri umph in his voice as he siiellea out, "V-i-c-t-u-u-l-s food for human beings." Then he turned again to the other word, stared at it a moment, shut the book, and pronounced his ver dict: "George Is right, and I have made a stupid, inexcusable mistake." "The best of us are liable to mis- teke," said the minister, reassuringly Master Dunton made no reply, but walking deliberately to the desk, he took up the birch ruler. "Joseph Nile he said, solemnly, will you step this way?" "I wa'n't doiu' anythln'l" pro tested Joseph. "No, I am the one to be punished this time, and I must call o.i you, as the oldest and largest scholar, to at tend to it," and the teacher handed the ruler to the unwilling Joseph. "I don't want to do it, Mr. Dun ton," said Joseph, . with a' look of grief such as he had never shown when called upon to take the subor dinate part In the performance. "I do not like to punish, either," said the master, "but what of that? It is oft n my duty. Now I must be punished for my good and the good of the school. What did I say would happen to the' first one who should make a mistake? Would you hyive my promise broken? I cannot carry it out myself, but you mast help me." So saying, hs held out his palm, and Joseph, not knowing how to re fuse, let the ruler fall lightly upon it "That Is not the way that I have taught you," said the master, smil ing grimly. "Lay on, Joseph!" And the stalwart youth, thus urged, warmed to his work, and finally did full justice to his training. "Perhaps that will do," said Mr. Dunton, at last, withdrawing his af flicted hand and rubbing it gently with the other. "I thank you, Jo seph. And now we will proceed with the lesson." He looked round for the minister, i but that worthy man had sllpiied out of the door, perhaps in deference to the teacher's feelings. But that was hardly necessary. Mas ter Dunton was conscious of no loss dignityas he usumcd his autocratic sway. - - , x Beware of Olntniente for Catarrh that ' Coutalm Mercury as mercury will surely destroy the seuse oi stuell uud completely derange trie waole system when enuring it through the mu cous surfaces.
