I tell you what It is, gal," said old
Mr, Lippolo his daughter Susan, "I'm
determined never to hov a cdlcated fel
ler for my bon-in-Iaw; that's a fixed
fact."
"liut, father," said Susan, "education
don't makoorutunakoaman any more
than riches do. It's the soul, tlio prin
ciple, that eonstltutes a man."
"Very true, Susan," rejoined daddy
Lippe, "and I vo found precious llttlo
prlnclplo in collcgo brcd fellers. I tell
you that I'vo got along well enough,
and alius made my mark.1' As tho old
man said this his eyo roved out of the
window over his broad and well im
proved homestead with a glint of self

men of his flas, who, when thoy im

this trait of her father's nnd letting tho
argument drop, relapsed into silence,
Whllo old Mr. Llppo entertained
such notions of letters, and, by tho way,
was always taking pains to Infurm
ovcrybody concerning them, ho hail de

only child, Susan, who had Improved
thu advantages bestowed by an excell

To tho blandlshinotits of tho sterne

Hesldes, there was a young lawyer who
had entcied suit for her heart, anil won
his ca'-o, whllo teaching school a short
tlmo previous to his admission totho
bar. It would havo been singular If tho
daughter of obstinate Llppo hud not
been equally obstinate in the constancy
of hrt- allictlon for Henry Coverdale,
her litigations lover.
Of this attachment, howover, daddy
L!nio was blissfully ignorant, llo had
never seen young Coverdalu, and that
young gentleman being well awaro of

With this clincher mother Llppo
turned her faco to tho wall, and refused
to say another word.
In tho meantime, Henry Coverdalo

shoulilois abovo any of tho young men,

his efforts also began to How In upon
him in a golden stream. Yet, still ho
remained a bachelor, though many
wondered. Still there wero no signs of
old Mr. LInno rolaxlnz in tho Ioaat
from his vlows on "education."
However, tilings wero destined to
shapo themselves entirely different to
what a mero observer might reasonably
hope to expect.
This grew out of Covcrdale's lovo for
Susan, which now assumed tho east of
Impatience.
Ono day a young man In homespun
garb presented himself at tho houso of
old Mr. Llppo, and Inquired If ho want
ed to hlro a hand on tlio farm.
Tho old farmer eyed him for somo
moments, and finding him remarkably
ell favored and knit together, said :
"Where aro you from ?"
"1 live at Monroo, when nt homo."
eplicd tho young man.
"Raised on a farm?"
"Yes, sir."
"About how much do you want a
month?"
"Whatever you think Is right."
"You'll never get along In tho world,
unless you drlvo a better bargain than
that," said Mr. Llppp. "ilut I'll tell
ou wnai I'll uo. You shall work a
month for twenty' dollars, aud after
that, If wo suit ono another, wo'll bar
gain for a year."
"Agreed," said tho young man, and
was forthwith installed as hired hand.
s tlio reader guesses, tho hand was
nono other than Henry Coverdalo, who
iad commenced to put lutooporatlon a
lan to gain tho old man's consent to
his union with Su.an.
Tlmo wagged along. Old Llppo was
mightily pleased with his hired hand,
and often praised him to the women
folk. Indeed ho looked with a degreo
of complacency on his attentions to Su
san, which begnn to bo marked, and
Coverdalo was on tho point of popping
tho question,when it clrcumstanco hap
pened as follows:
The farm of Mr. Llppo was a part of
a tract, tho tltlo of which had formerly
been In dispute, though it was Indeed
and In equity his. Just at this tlmo ono
of theto land sharks that infest tho
country raked up a worthless claim, and
entered suit for possession.
This proceeding was so obviously ab
surd and rascally, that Mr. Llppo mere
ly laughed atlt, although at tho advlco
of his hired hand ho appeared at court
o refuto tho claim : supposing, how
ever, that ills baro word would bo all
sufficient to disposo of tho 6coundrel of
aland shark. Ills hired hand also con
cluded to loso tho day nnd go with him,
n order, ho said, "to seo what a judge
and court wero like,"
Old Mrs. Llppo nnd Su-ati accompa
nied them for tho purpo-o of making
toiuo purchases, as they could got better
largalns In tho county town than In
Stanhope.
This conversation of tho family had
placed Henry Coverdalo In full posses
sion of tho facts In tho case, and ho had
manifested such an Interest In the af
fair, and appeared to boso anxious as to
tho result, that the old man was not as
tonished at hcelug hlin enter tho bar
ami tako a chair by his side, Ho notic
ed, also, that his dnnio and Suitn wero

Tho ca-o was called and tho lawyer

tlio old man dreadfully, so much that
ho could bcarcely contain himself until
tho lawyer concluded.

"See, hero," oxelalmcd ho. "Hero

that I nevtr got them by ra?callty, or

"All this may bo truo," replied tho
Judge, "but tho court demands legal
proof rolatlvo to tho points at issue. I
presume you havo an uttornoy, Mr.
Llppo V"
"Never said a word to a single ono. I
novtr thought It worth wlillo.''saldtho
old until, perfectly aghast at tho turn
matlors weru taking.
At this bingo Llppo's hired hand rose
to his feet.
"May It please tho court, I will un
dertake tho caso for Mr, Llppo," ho
said,
"A pretty caso you'll mako of it,"
said tho old man, "You can plow corn
a wonderful sight better."
"1 assuro Mr, Llppo that Mr. Cover.
dale Is perfectly competent for tho
tnsk," said thojudgo, who was well ac-
qtutlntcd with tho young lawyer, and
Who, though Ignorant of his present re
lations, fancied ho smelt a Joko in tho
actions of tho parties.
"Mobboyour honor Is right," said
Mr. Llnno! "but nlacuo tako me. If you
'don't find him a likely sight bettor farm
hand than lawyer."
A general titter ran around tho bar.
Tho suit proceeded. Tho young at
torney, having proviously mastered tho
whole ground, entered Into Its merits
with such forco and clearness as aston
ished ovon tho court. But how shall
wo paint thosurpriso of old Mr. Llppo!
It took him by storui. At every word
of tho young lawyer ho seemed to dis
tend with astonishment, until his
amazement was something so ridicu
lously appalling as to convulso tho en
tire nudlcnco with laughter. Peal after
peal resounded, and even tbo fat sides
of tho Judgo, forgetting their gravity,
seemed ready to shako to pieces with
merriment,
"Who, who, who aro you?" at last
gasped tho old man.
'Sit down, Mr. Llppe," said Cover-
dale. "I am attending to tho case."
Then stooping ho whispered In his ear ;
"I am trying to earn Susan."
"Sho's your's," shouted tho old man,
regardless of tho bystanders, or tho
court, which having now an Inkllnir of
tho matter, gavo a Iooso rein to their
Jubilant feelings. HowSusan felt, how
ever, can bo better Imagined than de
scribed. Sho blushed llko ono of her
mother's peonies, and hastily hid her
faco in her veil.
When tho merriment had subsided
and old Mr. Llppo had secured his equa
nimity, tlio happy attorney proceeded,
and finally madoso clear a caso for his
involuntary client, B3 caused tho Judgo
to dismiss tho suit. Tho old man left
tho court lu triumph, and with his hired
hand, proceeded forthwith to thoclerk's
ofllec, whero a llcenso was procured.
Tho judgo gavo tho court a short rccosa
and united tho happy pair in tho bonds
of matrlmouy.
Slnco that event, Mr. Llppo has
changed his vlows on educational mat
ters. Tho other day as Judgo Cover
dalo was leaving homo to tako his seat
lu Congress, ho Bald to his grandson:
"Llppo Coverdalo, get your lessons
well, and who knows but what you'll
go to Congress too."
"Who knows 1" oxelalmcd tho happy

Ancient Coin-'.
Money consists of whatovor Is used
in exchange for something else. As
soon as mankind Increased in numbers.
they commenced to exchaugo ono arti
cle for another In trado. This was dono
flrst, by using somo substance of groat
valuo and small in bulk. At a very
early period metallc exchanges wero
madoby weight, tho giver of tho money
weighing out so many pieces of gold or
eilvor. At a later period actual coins,
having a certain weight and guaranteed
by tho government with tho stamp or
seal of tho State, wero mado tho medi
um of exchanges. At what period gold
and silver wero first used is not known.
Nearly 2,000 years beforo tho Christian
era, Abraham roturned from Ecypt,
very rich In cattle, sliver and gold.
Tho shapo ot silver aud gold among tho
Egyptians appears to havo been that of
a ring, with an opening on onosidoto
form a chain when It was necessary.
This sort of monoy passod by weight.
Tims Abraham weighed four hundred
sheckels of money to tho merchant.
Tho Jews never had any other mode of
using coin than by weight so long as
they wcro an Independent nation.
Furthermore, It may bo a' now idoa to
many that thoy never used gold as a
coin. Sliver and copper wero their solo
medium. You nover hear them talking
about slieckels of gold In any of their
writings.
Among tho Egyptians nnd Assyrians
tho coin was frequently in tho shapo of
a bheep or a lamb, possibly of thu value
of thoso animals. It has been supposed
that tho change from weight to a coin
representing u given valuo was first
mado by tho Romans. Tho pound
weight was stamped with tho Imago of
au ox, Ilenco our word veaintarj is
derived from the Latin word peeunia,
signifying money, which in turn was
derived from tho word peeu, signifying
cattle. Thus au immense stride was
made In civilization whon a real valuo
was given to coin guaranteed by tho
State, so ns to avoid tho necessity of
weighing It ovory tlmo a transaction
was made. Tho earliest coins wero ex
ceedingly rudo In character. They Wero
not perfectly round, as you now seo
them, A dlo was formud, over which
tho coin was placed, and then It was
struck witli a punch, which stamped
tho coin on one side, and left a rudo
dent on the other. After awhile, a dlo
was mado on tho end of the punch so
that both sides wero stamped.
Aloxander I, King of Macedonia, Is
tho first who had his naino Htamped
upon a coin, Tho Athonlaus mado tho
owl their typo. This gavo rise to tho
anecdote of tho Athenian miser, tho
roof of whoso houso was said to bo In
fested with a vast numbor of owls, In
allusion to money of tho well known
Athenian typo being concealed thcro.
Tho Romans carried on tho coining
of money to a high degroo of perfec
tion. Each Stato uud somotlmcs a sin
gle city was authorized to Issue Its own
coins. Every coin was a brief history
of the ugo In which It was struck. Tho
skill of thonrtizau, tho composition of
tho coin, tho history of tho people, and
the namo of tho ruling monarch wore
frequently told on tho samo coin. It is
probable that almost tho only portraits
wo havo of tho ancients nro what may
bo seen on ancient coins that havo eomo
down to us, It Is very singular that
when thby could stamp on copper, sil
ver and gold the names of kings, that
tho art of printing was not known tilt
within less than five hundred years.
Au Immoihso number of ancient coins
aro preserved In museums In Europe.
They are valuable records of past his

Women anil Politics.
Tho advocates of what aro called wo
man's rights demand that women shall
bo admitted to all tho political or.other
functions at present discharged solely
by men. It Is objected that various
gravo Inconveniences, arising out of tho
more fact of sexual dlffercnco, would
follow such a chango ; that women
themselves would bo losers by It In
many respects, nnd that tho host of
them would suffer In their purity and
refinement by being mixed up in somo
of man's ruder avocations. To this tho
answer is, that tho Introduction of wo
man as nn actlvo participant "vlll puri
fy politics, transform trado, and reform
society generally. Woman, bo'.ng tho
bettor clement, will put down tbo worso
clement as scon as sho gets fair play.
Allowing that tho mass of femalo
morality in thlsor any othor country la
far beyond the mass of malo morality
(a proposition which Is by no means an
axiom, and might bo mado tho themo
of much discussion), it docs not at all
follow that tho universal combination
of tho two forces will produco an im
provement. When wo pour a certain
quantity of cognac into n certain quan
tity of water, wo can tell exactly what
percentage of alcohol our grog will con
tain. Whon wo tako a dcDntto propor
tion of gamboge, wo can tell precisely
what shade of green will be produced
by tho mixture. IJut wo cannot settle
moral combinations beforehand on this
tangible and mechanical basis. An In
nocent young man who consorts with
vicious associates Is in danger of being
corrupted by them. Few parents would
like to run tholchanco of his convert
ing tho others; tho oxperlmont would
bo too risky. On tho other hand, let a
vicious boy enter a select school ; ho
may bo reformed there, or ho may dam
ago tho wliolo establishment. Any of
us who havo had experience In theso
matters know how careful teachers of
first-class schools aro to weed out their
black seecp for fear of the harm thoy
may do. It Is not an absolute question
of number. Suppose thoro is a small
percentage of women lit oxces3 of men
throughout tho country, and that thn
women nro (by our first assumption)
moro moral than tho men, It does not
follow that their infusion Into politics
or trado will render politics or trado
less corrupt. For, in thu first placo,
women aro in are aristocratic and
exclusive than men ; and even if wo
assumo that this dlllerenco Is not natur
al, but a result of custom und legisla
tion, it is a result now so fixed that
much tlmo will ba necessary to roverso
It. More womon than men will shrink
from tbo dirty work of politics and tho
rout I no of business, and tho delinquents
will bo women of tho hotter class ; so
that tho femalo box will have, on tho
wholu, worso representatives In actlvo
life than tho malo sex. Secondly, it
may wol! bo asked whether a portion
at least of thoso virtues in which wo
men aro supposed peculiarly to excol
may not bo duo to their freedom from
certain temptations to which mon aro
exposed. A monk or a prisoner Is In
capacitated for committing many sins
because- ho cannot obtain tho material
and opportunity for them In his con
vent or prison. A gentleman living on
his means, bo thoy largo or small, has
not tho samo temptation to falsehood
and dishonesty as a lawyer (according
to tho present standard of lawyers), a
shopkeeper, u stock broker, an editor, n
member of Congress, or a professional
politician of any kind. Throw women
into tho political arena, aud somo of,
tho fairost features of their moral su
pcrlority will bo oxposod to a rude aud
perilous test. "Popular Fallacies," by

Thooxamplo of tho Into General Lee
n refusing ull gifts, and declining to
rccelvo compensation for sorvlrtn not
rendered, is moro worthy to his coun
try aud to nil who follow it, than mil
lions in gold. Tlio facts hero staled
will not bo forgotten :
in tho winter of 1804 tho Cllv Conn-
cil of Richmond tendered aeiier.il Leo
an elegant mansion as somo token of
tho high estimation in which ho was
held by tho city which ho liBtl so long
defendod. Rut tho grand old man re
plied : "I do not expect to bo in Rich
mond during tho continuatico ol tho
war, and my family aro as comfortablo
as they havo a right to expect In thoso
times. I must, therefore, with my
thanks for your consideration, most ro-
spoctfully decllno your offer. If you
havo money to glvo, I hope you will
bestow It upon my prlvato soldlers.who
aro moro in need and moro deserving
than myself.
At tho close of tho war offers of pe
cuniary asslstanco pourod in upon him
rrom all sides, but ho steadfastly rofus
ed to rccelvo them.
An English nobleman, thinking ho
ould rejoice in somo placo of retroat
from his afflictions, wrote to offer him
splendid country scat and a handsomo
annuity. Ho nobly replied : "I am
deeply grateful, but I canuot consent to
desert my native Stato In tho dark hour
of her adversity. I must nbldo her for-
tuno and sharo hor fate."
Soon alter he took chargo of Wash
ington College ho was visited by tho
agent of an insuranco company, who
offerod him tho presidency at a salary
of ten thousand dollars. He told tho
gent that ho could not properly attend
both. "But, General," said tho '
gent, "wo do not want you to dis
charge any duties. Wo simply wish
tho uso of your name. That will abund
antly compensato us."
"Excuse me, sir," was tho prompt
and decided rejoinder, "I cannot con
sent to rccelvo pay for service! I do not
render."
Ho received many offers of this sort,
and Just a short tlmo beforo his death,
largo manufacturing company in New
York offered him a salary of fifteen
thousand dollars a year if ho would bo
como their president. But to all such
offers ho had tho samo reply his duty
In tho collego fully occupied his time,
and ho would not recelvo pay whero ho
did not render service
Ho refused to receive from tho col-
logo anything llko so largo a salary as
thoy doslrod to pay him, and whon, In
1889, tho trustees decrcod to Mrs. Lee a
houso and annuity of three thousand
dollars, tho Gonoral respectfully declin

Corporal Punishment,
Tho relation of teacher and scholar Is
greatly misunderstood, both on tho part
of parents and toachers. Y'ot, it should
not oven bo debatablo, because Its every
day life. It Is decided by tho courts,
that It is tho buslnoss of tho teacher to
exact obedience In school, and it is his
logal right. "Ho must oxerclso reason
ablojudgmont and discretion in deter
mining, when to punish aud to what
extent." Various reasons unite to
make him tho best judgo of tho occasion
and extent.
"To form a correct opinion as to the
necessity and oxtcntof the punishment,
considerable allowance should bo made
to tho teacher by way of protecting
him in tho cxerclso of his discretion.
Heneo tho teacher is not liable on the
grounds of excess of punishment, un
less It is clearly excessive. If thcro is
any reasonablo doubt whether the pun-
ishmont was excessive, the teacher
should havo tho benefit of the doubt."
As to tho effect of marks made In
whipping, the following caso is the rul
ing ono ou record :
A lady in Now Y'ork punished a small
child to such an ox tent as to leave marks,
all or winch weroorsuch a character as
to pass away and leavo no permanont
Injury. Thu Judgo instructed thejury
that If thoy bellevoj tho child (six or
seven years old) had been whipped so
as to leave marks, tho toucher was guilty
of assault and battery. Under tho
chargo tho Jury found tho lady guilty,
but sho appealed to a higher court, In
which Judgo Gaston In an ablo and ex.
haustivo opinion reversed tho decision
of tho court below. Hear him :
But any correction, howovor sovero,
which produces temporary pain only,
and no permanent 111, cannot be pro
nounced immoderate, slnco it may havo
been necessary for tho reformation of
tho child, aud doos not Injuriously affect
its futuro welfare. Within tho sphero
of his authority, tho master is thojudgo
whon correction is required, and of tho
degreo of correction necessary ; and llko
all others trusted with a discretion, ho
cannot bo mado penally rosponslblo for
error ofjudgraent, but only for wicked
ness of purposo. Thero was an error in
the instruction given to thojury, that If
moclilld was whipped by tho defend
ant, bo as to occasion marks, the teacher
had exceeded her authority and was
guilty as charged. Tho marks wero all
temporary, and in a short tlmo dlsap
peared, no permanent injury was dono
to tho child."
This is tho law In Pennsylvania, and
prosecutors will not find It an easy
matter to got this decision reversed by
any court tn the State.
Guilt, though it may attain temper
al splendor, cau nover confer real hup
plness. Tho evil consequences of crimes
long survlvu their commission, and,
llko tho ghosts of tho inurdorod, forever
haunt tho malefactor, Tho paths of vir
tue, though very seldom thoso of world
ly greatness, aro always thoso of pleas
antness and poaco. Sir Walter Soott.
