England for painting fences, etc., and is
being introduced in this country also.
Ono or two good coats will last for many
years, as it never alters by exposure to

Or
Too Much Haste.
Oeohoi: Summers was a bravo lad.
llo was twelvo years old, nnd well
grown for his age. Ho b'o'iI high In
his classes, and was regarded by his
teacher ns tho most promising boy lu
the school. Uo wits a truthful lad, loo,
and his teacher was proud of him 011
this account. He knew ho could always
depend on Qcorgo for n fair and candid
statement of whatever happened.
Ono day tho teacher placed In his desk
nn unusually fine orange. Ho had
bought it on his way to the school, nnd
intended to carry it home to his wife,
who was sick. During tho recess ho left
tho room to attend to something on tho
grounds, and when he returned ho found
Georgo Bummers just closing tho lid of
his desk.
" What aro you doing thero, Georgo ?"
he asked, noticing tho flush on the lad's
face.
" I wa3 looking to seo what mark you
gftvo mo to-day, sir," replied tho boy,
In somo confusion.
" You should not havo dono so with
out my permission," said tho teacher
gravely.
" I know I did not do right, sir," said
George, " but I was very anxious to seo
if I would loso my place in my class, as
it is the first time I havo failed to bo
porfect in my Latin."
" Don't do so again, but como to mo
when you want any such information,"
said tho teacher. Taking his su.it, ho
opened his desk to look for something,
whon he uttered nn exclamation of sur
prlso, and called Georgo Summers; but
tho boy had left tho room by this time.
Going to tho door, tho teacher called
him back. " Where is my orange,
Georgo ?" lie asked.
" I have not got it, sir," replied tho
boy.
" Tho orango was In tho desk whon I
left tho room," said tho teacher. " On
my return I found you at my desk, and
my orango gono. Tell tho truth,Georgc.
What did you do with tho fruit?"
" I did not know that you had nn or
ange," said tho boy, looking him frank
ly in the face. " I did not soo nny In
your desk, and indeed, sir, I have not
taken it."
Tho teachor said nothing more, but
rang the boll for tho ro-asscmbllng of
school. When all tho boys wore lu their
places, he told thorn that ho had brought
an orango to school with him, but that
somo ono had taken it from his desk.
Then taking tho roll, he called over tho
names, asking each boy if he took tho
orange, or if he know anything nbout
It. Each ono nnswered "no." Whon
ho came to George Summers, the lad re
turned the same answer to tho first
question, but when askod if he knew
anything about it, he wits silent, and
then ho said he'd rather not toll, as it
might bring some of his companions
into troublo, and after all ho was not
certain.
The. teacher looked at him sternly for
a while, and then said soverely :
" I don't mind tho loss of tho orange,
but I am very sorry to Hud that I havo
a thief lu school, nnd that that thief is
ono whom I havo always regarded 'as
my best pupil. I mean you, Georgo,
for I am satisfied now that you took the
orango. If you will confess it, I will
try to overlook your fault, but if you
do not do so, I shall punish you severe
ly after school."
When the exercUos of tho day woro
over Qcorgo was called to tho teacher's
desk, and tho questions repented. He
reiterated tho denial, and tho teacher
whipped him severely. Tho boy did
not flinch or murmur. He stood proud
nnd silont while the degrading punish
ment was being inflicted, never betray
ing, by the slightest movement, any
emotion. The boyB looked on In aston
ishment, and at last the teacher paused,
and said :
"lam sorry to see you so hardened,
uoorge, 1 thought you a better boy."
" I am not hardened," replied George
indignantly. " You havo chargod mo
with dishonesty, and whippod me for
it without any proof. You never knew
mo to toll a lie, but refuse to believe mo,
and treat me so now merely upon suspi
cion." Tho teacher thought thero was some
force in what tho boy said, nnd that ho
might havo been too hasty; but the
cause seemed to him so plain that ho
could not seo how thoro could be a doubt
about it.
" You can go home now, Georgo," ho
said. " I hopo you will bo In a bettor
framo of mind when you como back to
morrow." "I shall not como back again, sir,"
said Georgo firmly. " You have treat
ed mo too badly for mo to want to stay
horo. I shall tell my father all about
this, and ask him to take mo away."
" I will boo your father to-night, my
self," said tho teacher, and ho dismissed
tho school.
" After tho boys woro gono tho teach
er sat for a long tlmo thinking over tho
occurrence. Somehow ho could not help
feeling reproochod forhlshasto. George
had always been tho best, tho most
truthful boy In tho school, and it was
very strango that ho should do so moan
a thing; nnd, after all, tho ovldonco
against him was not conclusive when it
enrao to bo sifted carefully.
As ho sat thero a lucky thought enter
ed tho teacher's mind, nnd rising, ho ex
amined closely every desk in tho school
room. Ills search was almost ended
when he discovered in n remote corner
of a desk n couplo of orango seeds, and
a pleco of fresh rind. Thoownorof this
desk was a bad boy, and ono who had
given him agreat deal of trouble. What
If this boy should provotho real thlof?"
Without delay tho teacher proceoded
to tho houso of tho lad, Jim Grocnidgo
by name. Arriving there, nnd asking
for tho boy's father, ho told him tho
whole story. Mr. aroenldge. with
slinmo and mortification, called his son
into tho room, and asked him whero ho
got tho orango ho had at school that
day. As tho boy taw his toacher his
face grow deathly pale, and he replied I
In n frlghteuod tono that ho did not
havo an orango at school. Tho teacher
thou produced tho bits of rind nnd seeds
ho had found, nnd nsked how thoy came
to bo in liis desk. Tho boy saw that
thero was no cscapo for him, and yield
ing to tho coninuinds and threats of his
father, confessed that ho had taken tho
orango, and that ho had boon afraid to
confess it.
Having dlsc6vorod tho mistake ho
hud made, tho teacher now took his way
to tho resldoiico of Mr. Summers, to do
what ho could toward repairing tho
damngo ho hnd done. He was received
with cold polltonoss by tho boy's father
Upon hearing what tho teacher had to
say, Mr. Summer's called Georgo into
tho room, nnd tho teacher told him how
ho hnd discovered his Innocence.
" Did you suspect Jim Grccnldgo of
taking the oraugo?" asked tho teachor.
"Yes, sir," repllod Georgo. "I saw
him coming from your dek ns I went
up to It, and I noticed a guilty look on
his face."
" Then why did you not toll this to
mo?"
" Because," said tho boy proudly, " I
would not do so mean a thing as to ac
cuse ono of my companions simply on
suspicion."
Tho teacher winced, for It was a homo
thrust. Ho was silent for a moment,
and then said :
"I am sorry this has happened,
Georgo, and I hope you will forget It
and forgivo It, and como back to school
ngnln to-morrow."
" Let nio speak for my son," said Mr.
Summers. " That ho will forgivo you
for tho wrong you have dono him, I
am sure. But I cannot permit him to
go back to your school, and ho docs not
desiro to Jo so. You wero very wrong
to accuse n boy of an Infamous offenco
merely upon suspicion, whon you had
always known him to bo honorable nnd
upright, nnd to inflict upon him n de
grading punishment upon no stronger
evidence. I cauuot placo my boy in
such danger again. Goorge sustains my
decision, and it is final. Tills ought to
teach you a lesson, nnd I hopo you will
profit by it."
Tho teacher departed in silence, n
wiser nnd an humbler man. Tho next
day ho proclaimed Gcorgo's Innocence,
and expelled Jim Greeuldgo. He did
profit by his lesson, nnd never- again
permitted himself to act in haste or
upon mere suspicion in matters in which
his pupils wero concornod.
