A. lill A VIZ ItOY,
j I was teaching a school in a little town !
in a Westers State several years ago, and .
during the winter many farmers' sons and:
; field-boys entered, who were not able to ,
( come at other times of the year. Some of j
j them were dull scholars, but ueaily all ,
, were anxious to learn, ar.d they did not ,

Most of the scholars were younger than . moment later the report of Mr. Atkin s
Hcnty, or else about bis age, but there '
were four or five boys and several girls who
were older. There was one boy of nine- j
teen, a slow and stupid, but good beai ted
fellow, and another of sixteen, George
Cassell, whom I never quite liked. If he
was not selfish and unprincipled, he was at
least very silly. .
He always wore exceedingly flashy neck- '
ties; he cocked his baton one side, and '
displayed a cheap ring, of which he was
evidently verv nrond. on liio stuhhv ltti'o

.r. , . . , , ,
Moreover, lie carried a cane wherever b)
went, even to ana lrom school, which
seems to me very foolish and conceited for '
a boy with sound legs to do under any cir- '
cumstances. but esoeciallv so in his easo.
However, that catic proved itself of ,,t. i
most service to me and to the scholars, if it
was ot of serv;ce to Cassell, and met its
end in a very extraordinaiy manner.
It was one of the last days of the spring
term, and I was just teady to hear the fiist
, recitation, when a little girl burst iuto tho
' school-room all out of breath with crying
.and running, and exclaimed, as soon as
1 she passed the door, "O Mis Franklin,
i there's a mad dog right out in the road !"
j The scholars all Uughed. Mad dogs are
a favorite terror with little ciils.
' "Maggie," said I, "como here :" and I
; took oft bet hat aud cloak. "How do you
know the do? is mad ?"
! "Why, be was running down the road
as fast as could be, and lie looked awful
mad, and Mr. Atkins says bo ia mad, and
oh, did you bear that '."
It was tha loud report of a gun directly
in front of tho school house, followed by a
' chorus of "Ob's" from the scholars, aud j my acquaintance, and told him the whole can line still outsiuc toe .uoono, iiut
' some shrill screams outside. i story. He replied by an invitation to ing with desperatiou. In leading a forlorn

I gie bad done, into the room where we were
all seated.
Closely following ber, and at one time
' almost seizing ber dress, came a large dog,
j without doubt in a rabid condition.
i He had been shot at in the road, and
was apparently but very slightly wounded.
Tf th ri.l had closed the door behind

a cane standing in the corner near bis seat.
Although ics duty -hen in George Cns
Bell's hand was solely as an ornament, i.
was, nevertheless, apparently designed for
use, for it had a thick shaft and a large
knob for a bead.
"With this he struck the dog swift blows
over the back, and the animal instautly
turned upon him with a fierce snail.
"O Henry," 1 screamed, "be careful, for
your life !"
He did not answer, but held the cane
down to the dog's mouth. The animal
j grasped it in bis teeth, bit it furiously, re
ceiving as he did eo a heavy kick, which
' sent him off his feet, Henry's motive evi
dently being to knock him senseless.
This manoeuvre was repealed htveral
; times, until the dog refused to seize the
stick, and made an attack upon his aasail
' ant's legs. Then the cane came down
again with a loud crack and broke in two,
: pointed weapou in Henry's hands,
j The idea of lending aid in a struggle did
' not seem to enter the minds of the other

tracted the attention of the man who had

Meanwhile Henry was keepiug the
creature at bay, so that he could not get
' at the scholars, by coutinual blows and
'kicks. He bad not yet been bitten, but
bis trowsers were badly torn.
At length
he tried a new plan.
lie held out bis lef; band towards tbo
dog, and as the animal started forward to
seize it, he thrust the point of tho broken
cane into the open mouth.
i uo creature oit it savagely, out usury,
; holding on to the ad vantage he hadeaincd,
continued to push further into the dog's
mouth.
"Come here, Joe, quick 1" he called;
aud one of tho largest boys same up.
"Now, you kick him while I hold on
here," he said, keeping tight hold of the
cane, which seemed wedged into the dog's

was ended
I took a long breath. It seemed as tho'
it was the first lime 1 had breathed since
the dog entered the room. He was gone,
and the only tracks left of the unfortunate
creature were some stains on tho floor, two
windows open, a broken cane, and several
scholars out of their seats,
Henry was coolly walking to his seat
when I stopped him.
"ITenrv.arn vou sure, vnn nothitlen?"'
- i - "
I asked.
,,r , .. .. . , . , .. , ,
"I don t think ho bit mo anywhere," he
answered, looking at his hands.
I examined them carefully. How rlad I
was that I could not find upon them a sin-
plo scratch !
Involuutarilv I exclaimed. "Von aro a
noble, brave boy ! I thank you with all my
heart, for myself and for the school, and
shall remember you as long as I live ! '
IIo looked for an instant frankly nnd
with a pleased expression into my face,
and then, without a word, took his seat.
I thought that in tho then excited
states of both teacher and scholars, teach-
ing would be an iinpossslbility, aud with
a few words dismissed tbe school until af
ternoon.
! The entire village was much excited by
this extraordinary event, as was natnral it
should be. Of course, Henry was quite a
hero in the town, but it. seemed to me that
' no amount of praise went beyond what ho
deserved.
1 I wrote an account of the matter for a
local journal. From that it was copied
into some of the city newspapers.
! I also wrote to a wealthy geutleman of
closing a check to pay his fare.
I Acting uuder my advice, the brave boy
: gave up his place on the farm and went to
; the city. My friend immediately gave him
' employment with good wages, so as to al-
; low him to save money to pay the expense
of bis education. He bad also lima given
i bim to continue his studies u preparation
for college, where I expect he will soon go.
I This is a true story.

about t ll-.rs? weeks ago in the St. Charles

bad r.o difficulty in recognizing the differ

vtn.cing nearer and nearer, while tho Mex

of our cannon bails through the solid ma

repose of the valley. This !ed tho Ameri

was abandoned, and tho Fifth. Infantry, :
supported by ether regular",, v.-eie ordered

led tha charge, only tines were un wounded
five minutes after the order to charge was
given. It was an awful butchery.
Oilier regiments were ordered to support
their comiadcs, but nothing human could
withstand that ten ible fusilauo. Baflled
but not demoralized, the i-egul.ats fell back

fell at every d'e.ch.'.ine of the Mexican bat

The main f:e;ht was for the ponderous
gateway which led to tha mid, and there
occurred tha most appalling slaughter.
Our soldiers, with matckle.3 ricklessuess,
directed all their eliorts against that en-
trance. They forced backward tho Mexi
General, Antonio Leon, and tweuty-seveu
of his officers wero killed in a heap. Tho
Americans were by this time excited to a

He traveled so fast that no sound ever
leached bim from behiud. He went faster
than the sound, sir. Holler who a and
he'd I in the next town before the sound
of your voice could reach tbo dash board.
'Travel fast ?' I should say ho could.
Why I once started from Virginia Citv f-.r
Meadow Creek right in front of one of the
most dreadful rain-sto. ms we ever bad ou
the Pacific coast. Wind and rain ? Wbv
the wind blew eighty miles au hour and
the rain fell in sheets. I drove riht bo
fore tbe storm for three hours just on tho
edge of that hurricaue and lain for forty

"Did.i't you get drenched '?''
"Drenched? ISo, sir ! Whnt did I keep
that fast hoiso for? Why, I toil you, I
drove light iu front of that raiu s'.oim. I
could lean foi ward and let fho suu shine cu
me. or lean baokwaid and feel rain and
catch hailstones. When the hurricaue
slacked up (bo boise slacked up, too. aud
when it blew faster I just said 'G Ik !' to
the horse and touched the battery, and
away wo went. ZS'ow I don't want to lie
about niy horse, Mr. Perkins, and I don't
r.sk you to believe what I s:'.y, but I tell
you truthfully that when I get to Meadow
Creek my linen duster was dry as powder.

"Look here, gentlemen,'' intetrupte-J
Mr. Nr.? by ; "speaking of tho tiut'i, did
you ever hear of im striking that man in
Toledo ?"
Wo said we h.rd not.
"Well, rir, it v. as this v ay : There was
a man there one of those woildly skepti

one day. He sail be bad doubts about '.lie

it. i.ould have been d.trercnt. I say I
didn't want to st i ike this man, because it's
a bad habit to get into this making a hu
man chao out of a fe-llo'v man. But be
questioned my veracity, and the earthquake
came. I struck him once ju:T once. I

"Did it hurt lhe mau much ?"' I asked.
"I dou't think it did. It was too sudden.
