Some twelve or thirteen years ago there was in the Franklin School an exceedingly dull boy. One day the tcaclier, wishing to. look out a word took up vthe "lad's Dictionary and opening it found tbe blank leaves covered with drawings. He called tne boy to. him. ! , 'Did . you draw tbese ?' said the teacher. . ';" ' - . "Yes, sir," said the boy twith a downcast look. d 1 '.' 'I don't think it well for bovs to , -1 ' v- '1 - draw iri their books, said the tcach er ''andI would rub these out if I were yon ; but they are well done. Did you jjver take lessons ?' ' ; No si," said , the boy, his eyc i sparkling.' i : i ' " 'Well, I think tou bave a talent for this thing ; I should like you to draw me something when you are at leisure at home and bring it to me In the meantime, see how well you can recite vour lessons.' Tii- jiny felt he was Understood. Tt ti-'frt lfirr Tire' tn.Knr " TT'n i hccaine' ;i nima ted and fond of his books, lie took delight in gatifying ll is teacher by his faithfulness to his erv oj ovtiiiii ty to encourag0!!!! hisnatnrpl desiresf The boy became one of flic first scholars andgained thle rneda lbefere lie left school. Af jter this he-became an engraver laid up money enough to go to Eur rope studied tbe .works ofj the old masters sent home productions from his own pencil which fouud a place in . some of the best collections of paintings and is now one of the most promising artists of his age in the country After the boy gained the medal he,scnt the teacher a beautiful picture as a token of respect ; and I doubt not to this day lie feels that thaj; teacher by the judicious encour agement he gave to the natural urn of bis mind has had a great moral and spiritual effct on his character. ; TURNING JACK. - ' After supper they went to play in' agin.

They say when Gov.
