GOING TO SCHOOL A STORT BY CAPT MARRY ATT " Have yon anv idea of putting that l>oy to achool, Mr. Easy 1" asked Dr. Middleton of eccentric old Nioodcmus Easy, the father of Jack Easy. Mr. Easy crossed his legs, and clasped his hands together over his knees, as he always did when he was about to oomi tenoe an argument. " The gn at objei'tion that I have of sending a boy to school. Dr. Middleton, is, that I conceive that the discipline en forced in not only to tlie rights of man, 1-nt also m opposition to ail sound sen*e and coin uon judgment. Not content with punishment, which is in itself erroneous, and an infringement of social jtiNti.e, they even degrade the minds of the boys still more by apply ing punishment to the most degraded part, adding contumely to tyranny. Of course, it is intended that a troy who i sent to aches 1 should gain by precept and example ; but is he to learn heaevo lenoe by the angry look and the flourish of the vindictive birch—or forbearance by the cruelty of the ushers—or patience, when the masters over him are out of all patience—of modesty, when bis nether parts are exposed to general ex amination? Is he not daily reading a lesson at variance with that equality which we all possess, hut of which we are unjntly deprived ? Why should there be a distinction Iretween the flogger and flogge*- f Are they Do t both fashioned alike after God's image, en dowed with the same reason, having an equal right to what the world offers, ao I which was intended by Providence to be equally distributed ! Ts it not that the aacred inheritance of all, which has tyraunouHly and impiously been ravished from tin: many for the benefit of the few, and which ravishrrvui, from long cu* torn of iniquity and inculcation of false preot p's, has too long been basely sub mitted to? Is it not the duty of a father to preserve his only son from imbibing these dangerous and debasing errors, which will render him only one of the vile herd who are content to suffer, pro vided that they live ? And yet are not these very errors inculcated at school, and impressed upon their minds inverse ly by the birch? Do not they receive their first lesson in slavery with the first lesson in A B C ; and are not their minds thereby prostrated, so as never to rise ngain, but ever to bow to despotbm, tocriugc to rank, to think aud act by the precepts of others, and to tacitly disavow that sacred equality which is our birthright ? No, sir, without they can teach without resorting to such a fundamental error as flogging, my boy shall never go to school." ajj. Mr. Easy threw himself back in his chair, a |] phiiou^ pbers, that he had si.i something very clever. .. [ P r waited l untlT*fi'e MilJ exhausted his oratory. •• I will grant," said the doctor, at last, "that all ynn nay may have great trnth iu it ; but, Mr. Easy, do yon not think that by not permitting a boy to be edu cated, y n allow him to remain open to that very error of which you apeak f It is only education which will ooi.quer prejudice, and enable a man to break through the trammels of custom. Now, allowing that the birch is used, yet it is a period when the young mind is so elastic as to soon become indifferent ; and after he has attained the usual rudi ments of educatiou, you will then find him prepared to receive those lessons wlii-ii you can yourself instill." "I will teach him everything myself," replied Mr. Easy, folding his arms con sequentially and determinedly. "I do not doubt your capability, Mr. Ersy; bat unfortunately you will always khave a difficulty which you never can get kver. Excuse me, I know what yon are Bumble of, and the boy would, indeed, Vliappy with such a preceptor, but—if I ■rust speak plain—you must be aware b wall as I am that the maternal fond of Mrs. Baay will always be a bar FRED.

"1 grant, my dear air, that them ts a difficulty ou that point; but maternal weakueee must then IN* overooukc by paternal severity." "Mayl ak how. Mr. Easy f for it appwtr* to IN* impoanible." " Impossible ! By heavens ! I'll make him obev, or I'll Hem Mr. Eaav stopped Worn the word dog was fairly out of lus mouth—" I'll kuow the rea aon whv, Dr. Middleton." Dr. Middleton checked hia iucliua tion to laugh, aud replied : " That you would hit upiu some schema, by which you would obtain the neoeetary |*ower over hitu, 1 have no doubt ; but what will be the consequence 1 The boy will consider his mother as a protector, aud you as a tyrant. He will have an aver siou to you, and with that aversion he will never )>ay respect and attention to your valuable precepts when he arrives at an age to understand them. Now it appears to me that this difficulty which you have raised may tie got over. 1 know a very worthy clergyman who does uot use the birch ; lull will write, put the direct question to him, and then if your boy is removed from the ilanger arising from, Mrs. Easy's over-indul gence, in a short time he will be ready for your mom important tuition." " I think," replied Mr. Easy, after a pause, "that what you say merits con sideration. 1 acknowledge that iu con seoocnoe of Mrs. Easy's uouseusioal in diligence, the boy is unruly, and will not obey me at present ; and if your friend does uot apply the rod. I will think seriously of sending my sou John to him to learn the elements." The doctor haul gained his point by flattering the philosopher. 11l a day he returned with a letter from the pedagogue in answer to one supposed to tie sent to him, in which the use of the birch was indig nantly disclaimed, and Mr. Easy an nounced to his wife, when they met that day at teafiine his intentions with re gard to bis son John. "To school, Mr. Easy i what, send Johnny to school.' a mere uifant to < school" " Purely, my dear, you must be aware that at nine years it is high time that he learned to read." " Why, he almost reads already, Mr. Easy ; surely I can teach him that. Does he not, Sarah I" " Lord bless him, yes, ma'am, he was saying his letters yesterday." "Oh, Mr. Easy, what can have put this in your head 1 Johnuy, dear, come I here—tell me now what's the letter At You were singing it in the garden this morning." "1 want some sugar," replied Johnny, stretching his arm over the table to the sugar ba-in, which was out of his reach. " Well, my love, you shall have n great lump if yon will tell me what's tb letter A." "A was an arc'uer, and shot at a frog," replied Johnny, in a surly tone. " There now, Mr. Eaev ; and he can go through the whole alphabet— can't he, Sarah ?" " That he c*n, the dear—can't you, Johnny dear 1" " No," replied Johnny. " l'es, you can, my love ; you know what's the letter B. Now, don't you I" " Yes," replied Johnny. " There, Mr. Easy, you see what the boy knows, and how obedient lie is, too. Come, Johnny dear, tell us what was Br" "No, 1 won't," replied Johnny, "1 want some more sugar and Johnny, who had climbed on a chair, spread htm self over the table to reach it. "Mercy! Sarah, pull Lim ofT—he'll upset the urn," screamed Mrs. Esay. Sarah caught hold of Johnny by the loins to pal! him tack, bnt Johnny, re sitting the interference, turned round on his back as he lay on the table, and kicked Sarah in the face, just as she made another desperate grw-p at Lim. The rebound from the kick, given as h> lay on a smooth mahogany table.brought Johnny's bead in contact with the urn, * which was npset in the opposite direc tion, and notwithstanding a rapid move ment on the part of Mr. Esy, be re ceived a sufficient portion of boiling liquid on his legs to scald him severely, and induce him to stamp and swear in a very on philosophical way. In the meantime Sarah and Mrs. Easy had caught up Johnny, and were both hold ing him at the same time, exclaiming and lamenting. The pain of the scald, and the indifference shown toward him, were too much for Mr. Easy's temper to put up with. lie snatched Johnuy out •>f their arms, and quite forgetting his equality and rights of man, lielaborwd him without mercy. Hirah flew in to interfere, and received a blow which not only made her see a thousand stars, bnt sent h r reeling to the floor. Mrs. Easy went off into hysterics, and John ny bowled so as to be heard at a quarter of a mile. How long Mr. Evy would have con tinned it is impossible to say; bnt the door ojiened, aud Mr. Easy looked np while still administering the pntiish raent, and perceived Dr. Middleton in mute astonishment. He ha 1 promised to come iu to tea, aud enforce Mr. Easy's arguments, if it were necessary ; but it certainly appeared to him thut, in the argument which Mr. Easy was then enforcing, he required no asist ance. However, at the entrance of Dr. Middk ton, Johnny was dropped, aud lay roaring on the fl.sir ; Sarah, too. re mained where she had lieen floored, Mrs. E ey had rolled to the floor, the urn was also on the floor, and Mr. Easy, although uot floored, hail not a leg to stand upon. Never did a medical man look in more opportunely. Mr. Eisy at first was not certainly of that opinion ; bnt his legs became so painful that bo soon became a convert. Mr. .MiddU-ton, us in duty bound, first picked np Mrs. Easy and laid her on the sofa. Ha rah rose, picked up Johnny, aud carried him kicking and roaring out of the room ; in return for which attention she received sundry bites. The footman, who had au nounced the doctor, picked np the nrn, that being all that was in his depart ment. Mr. E isy threw himself (muting and in agony on the other sofa, ami rassed how to act ; "he Mr. Evsy required his aasistance, aud that Mrs. Eisy could do without it ; but how to have a lady who was half really and half pietendedly iu hysterics, was difficult: for if ho attempted to leave her, she kicked and flounced, and burst oat the more. At last Dr. Middleton! rung the bell, which brought the foot inan, who summoned all the maids, who carried Mrs. Eixy up stairs, and then the doctor was able toattend to the only patient who really required his assist ance. Mr. Eisy explained the sffurin few words, broken into ejacuiatioua from pain, as the doctor removed his stock ings. From the applications of Dr. Middleton, Mr. E- : y soon obtained bodily relief; but wliat annoyed him still more than his scalded legs was the doctor having lieen a witness to his in fringement of the equality and rights of man. Dr. Middleton perceived this, and he knew also how to pour balm into < that wound. i , "My dear Mr. Easy, I am very sorry i that you have had this accident, for which yon are indebted to Mrs. Easy's , foolish indulgence of the boy ; but I i THE CENTRE REPORTER. aui glad to perceive that you have taken up thorn |*art*utal duties whioh am iu en low tod by the Scriptures. Solomon says, ' that ho who sparoe th rial, spoils the child.' thereby implying that it la the duty of a father to correct hie chil dren, and in a father, the NO doing doea not interfere with the rights of man, or any uatural • quality, for the aon l>eing a j>art or portlou of the fattier, he IN only correcting hia own aelf ; aud the proof of it is, that a fattier, in puuiahiug his own aon, fee la an much iaiu iu so doing as if he were hituaelf punished, it i, therefore, nothing but aelfdia oipluie, which IN Htrictly enjoined ua by the Scriptures." "That ia exactly my opinion," re plied Mr. Easy, comforted at the doctor having NO lognwlly got lam out of the scrape. " Hut —he shall go to achool to morrow, that I'm determined on." " He will have to thank Mrs. Kaay for that," replied the doctor. " Exactly," replied Mr. Easy. " Doc tor, my legs am getting very hot again " " Continue to l*athe them with the vinegar and water, Mr. Kaay,-until 1 send you an emhrimatiou, which will give you immediate relief. 1 will call to-morrow. By-the-bye, 1 am to aee a little patient at Mr. B Jiiuycaetle'a; if it ia any accommodation, 1 will take your aon with me." "It will be a great acc> inmodation, diwtor," replied Mr. Easy. "Then, my dear sir, 1 will just go up and see how Mrs. Easy is, and to mor row 1 will call at ten. I can wait an hour. Good uight." " Good night, doctor." The doctor hail his game to play with Mrs. Easy. He magnified her husbandV accident—he magnified his wrath, aud advised her by uo means to say oue word until he was well and more jaci fled. The next day he repeated this dose, anil, in spite of the ejaculations of Sarah, anil the tears of Mrs. Easy, who dared uot venture to plead her cause, and the violent resistance of Master Johnny, who appeared to have a pre sentiment of w hat wan to come, our hero was put into Dr. Muldletou's chariot, and with the exception of one plate of glass, which he kicked out of the win dow with his feet, and for which feat the doctor, now that he had him all to him self, Uoxed his ears till he wan nearly blind,he was, without any further eventful occurrence, carried by the doctor's foot man into the parlor of Mr. llou uveas tie. Master Jack had been plumped down in a chair by the doctor's servant, who, as he quitted him, first looked at his own hands, from which the blood was drawn iu several places, and then rt Master Jack, with his teeth closed and lips compressed, as much as to say : "If I only dared, would not I, that's all I" and then walked out of the room, re paired to the carriage at the front door, when he showvl his hands to the coach man, who looked down from his box in great commiseration, at the same time sharing his fellow servant's indignation. Bnt we must repair to the parlor. Dr. Mnldletou ran over a newnpa|>er, while Johnny sat on the chair all of a heap, looking like a lump of sulks, with his feet ou the upper front bar and his knees almost up to his nose. He was a promis ing pupil. Jack. Mr. Bonnycsstle made his ajqiearance —a tall, well built, handsome, fair man, with a flue powdered head, dressed in solemn black, and knee buckles; his linen lieautifnlly clean, and with a pecu lir bland expression of countenance. When he smiled he showed a row of teeth white as ivory, and bis uiihl bine eve was the w /Wu* uUra of beneficence, de was the bean-ideal of a preceptor, and it was impossible to see him and hear his mild pLowing voice, without wishing that all your sons were under his protection. He was a rijie scholar, and a good one, aud at the time we speak of had the care of upward of one hnndr< 1 IHVS. He was celebrated for turning them out well, ami many of his pupils were rising fast in the s- uste, as wt II as distinguishing themselves iu the higher professions. Dr. Middleton, who was ou intimat ternn with Ikmnyeastle, r-se as he en tered the room, and they sliona hands. Middleton then turned t<> where" Jack sat, and, pointing to him, said : " Look there." Bonnycastle envied- " I cannot say that I have had worse, but I have almost as bad. I will apply tbe Promethean torch, and soon vivify that rude mass Come, sit down. Middle-ton." "But," said the doctor, as he resumed his chair, " tell me, lionuycastle, how you will possibly manage to iick such a cub into shape when you do not resort to flogging ?" " I have no opinion of flogging, and therefore Ido not report to it. The fact is, I was at Harrow myself, and was rather a pickle. I was called up as often as most boys in school, ami I perfectly reioolloct that eventually I oared nothing for afl >gging. 1 had liecome case hard ened. It is the least effective part yon can tonch a lioy upon. It leaves noth ing liebiud to refresh their memory." " I should have thought otherwise." " My dear Middleton, I can produce more efft ct by one caning than twenty floggings. Observe, you flog upon i part for tin most part quiescent; but yon cane njion all parts, from the bead to the heels. Now, when ouce tho first sting of the birch is over, then a dnll sensation come* over the part, ami the (wtiii after that -J nothing; whereas a good sound caning leaves sores and bruises iu every ( art, aud on all tho parte which are required for muscular action. AftT a flogging a boy may run out in the hour of recreation and join his play mates as well as ever, but a good caning tells a different tale; he cannot move one part of his body without being re minded for days by tho pain ot the punishment he lias undergone, mid he is very careful how he is called np again." " My dear sir, I really hail au idea that you w. re execs ively lenient," re plied Middleton, laughing; "I am glad that 1 am under (i mistake." " Look at that cnb, doctor, sitting tin-re more like a brute than a reasonable being; do you imagine I could ever lick it into shape without strong measures ? At tbe same time allow me to say that I consider my system by far tho liest. At tho public schools, punishment is no check; it is so trifling that it is derided: with me is puuinliuient iu ■ -■ —.. of the word, and the con sequence is, that it is much morn seldom resorted to." "Yon area terrorist, Bonnycastle." "The two strongest impulses in onr nature are fear and love. In theory, acting npon the latter is very beautiful; but in practice I never found it to an swer—and for the best of reasons, onr self-love is stronger than onr Jovo for others. Now, I never yet found fear to fail, tor the very same reason that the other does, because with fear wo act upon self love aud nothing else." " And yet we have many now who wonld introduce a system of schooling without correction, and who maintain that the present system is degrading." "There are a great many fools in this world, doctor." "That reminds me of this lioy's father,"replied Dr. Middleton; who thm detailed to the pedagogue tbe idyosyn crtsy of Mr. Easy, and all the circum stances attending Jack being w nt to his school. "There is no time to be lost the controlled. 8> a* soon a* Dr. MulJlrU'ii had .putted the room, ho a.

The Urasnhoppeni In Minnesota. A short trip through Nicollet, Sibley, and a part of Brown counties iiun con vinced me, nays a correspondent, tliat the grasshopper question is of much more serious iiu]M>rtanoc than our }wo pie suppose. In a drive of t .irty miles 1 did uoi see a furrow turned. Vacant houses and deserted farms are not infre quent. Those who remain cannot {sjoai bly hold out much longer. Many of them are actually facing starvation. Unless a change main comes our western counties mast Is- dcjiopulatod. The crisis is reached. The people have strug gled for their homes and farms during the last four years of devastation by this terrible scourge, but they canuot hold out much louger. The issue is now poei live, simple and well defined. .Shall the country lie occupied by the |eople Or the graashopjM-rs f They cannot both inhabit the same country much longer. If the greater part of the eggs de posited shall hatch out, there wili be grasshopjH'rs enough to devoer every gie.-u tiling in the State of Minnesota next year. The deposit of eggs is prob ably hundreds of times greater than it has i ver been Iwfore. If they shall de velop into full grown grasshoppers, and remain in the Plate, the result is fearful tocontemplate. 1 tun satisfiiil that if a universal raid were made U|HIU them wlnrever they are, immediately upon their Ix-gluniug to liatch out, disaster might ls averted. But action must be prompt and in every jwurt of the rvgiou mfoated. Ido uot believe that men can lie driven out by grasshopper*, if a combined effort is made with a deter minatiou to wiu.

The attempt to And the bono* and erect a monument to the memory of the noted Indian chief, Teoumseh, recall* the story of his death. Proctor, the British commander, fled before the ad vsnciug hosts of Harrison, in coverings Moravian village. Teoumseh, deeply chagrined at this aud devotedly desirous of protecting the people of his own nn tion, resolved to hold the Americans in check long enough to allow the women aud children of the threatened village to escape with their movables. Harrison came up and Tccumach gave him battle. The conflict was long, and, for s lime, nnoertain. The voice of Teoumseh could lie dis tinctly hoard aml.l the roarof musketry, directing and encouraging his Indians, who placed entire confidence in their chief, and would nrfa hitlnrand thither, anywhere and everywhere, us he would direct. By this time the officers in the American army became convinced that they would not anooeed, excepting they silenced that well known voice.

I oan't really say how old he was, and what is , more. Tip himself didn't kuow.

Half asleep, they followed ou, keeping pace with the great br wn bulk that strode with swaying trunk after the wagons, aud glancing half fearfully at the awkward camels that bared their , great teeth viciously, as if they would j not at all mind making a mouthful of the two little vagabonds. Once a driver noticed them, and cracked his long whip at (hem; but they only fell back a few steps. " I say, Tip, let's go on till it gow," whispered Top; and with a nod the bar gain was concluded. It was ten o'clock before the circa* '. stopped, and the boys, footsore and | hungry, bung around the wagons, get ting plentiful kicks and abuse, which wa* no more than they were- accustomed to at home, but rewarded by a glimpa* of the animals as they were fed, anil making a rare breakfast on a loaf oI bread that a girl in a dirty spangled drees snatched from one of the wagons and tossed to them. Top had risen in the world sinoe then. He had left rag picking and gone into the newspaper business, and ev. u picked up s little learning at the night class in the newsboys' home. But he wa* loyal to hieeu j deaf. Bh* only shook her head aud , shoo-ed them away a* if they had been two stray obiekcus. Next time they had bolter luck. A fat little woman with rosy ml cheek* gave tliein a big basket to fill with chips, and when it j wis full she brought them each a thick slice of bread aud butter and a great puffy brown doughnut. Afterward, they drank at the well out of a sweet tasting j dipper made of a cocoauut shell, aud the woman looked up from the bread she was kneading to uod and smile as they went out of the gate. Next came a long strip of woods, without any houses, and beyond that, open prairie again. "I think this is about fur 'nongh," i said Top, sitting down on a log. "1 1 should kind o' like to have our farm; nigh to tho woman that give us the , doughnuts. She's a good one, she is." " Well," said Tip, " seems to be lots j of land, and mighty scarce of houses, j Let's take it half an' half, woods and : perrary." Now that the farm was located, the next thing to be done was to build a house.

" We re pardneru, and we've took up this farm, begun Top; but the man looked at the pair of beggars and laughed in a fashion that threatened to bring the rails down over hia head. " Well, well," he said at last, wiping his eyes on hia shirt sleeve, "if that ain't the biggest joke." Then he sobered down a little, and felt of Tip's hones and, in fact, Tip was not much else but bones. "No more meal'n a ladder! WeR, well, well!" And be picked up poor Tip and marched away with him, while Top followed meekly. It seemed to him the man had on seven league boots, lie got over the ground so fast, while he could only limp after, for Top was get ting sore and stiff from tramping. By and bye, they turned into a green lane and came to the Uacl door of a house. The man laid Tip on a bench, and a shaggy dog came and sniffed at him. " Molly Anderson !" called the man, and somebody oame trotting briskly to the door, saying: " Well, John!" long before she came in sight. It was the woman wbo bad given them toe doughnuts. Tip cried when he asw her, though he didn't know why, for be felt wonderfully glad. Things were mixed up after that for a good many days, mud Tip had queer fsneitw fit going on and on, trying to find the beat kind of farm t© settle down upon, until at last he waked up to find himself on a clean bed >n a great breezy i garret, with the pleasant little woman darning stocking* beside him. The man waa there, too, and he said, in a cheerful voice: " They're made of cart steel and whip cords, them youngsters. He'll be right as a top in a day or two." " The outer one is Top," Tip tried to sty, but his voice waa so queer he did not know it, and wondered who had spoken. In the end, the partners concluded to grve up the farm; bat the man wbo bad bafriaodsd them gave them both work for a few weeks, and when one day they rode back to the city in a great loaded market wagon they felt very grand. It was grander yet riding hack again at night, with the cc* delight of return ing to a home and a welcome. " Tip," said Top, as they crept into bed, " 1 ain't never gora' back to the city.

From the ante-mortem statement made before his death the lad said that he was playing with some boys. Among them was little Walter Boslin, about his own age. They quarreled, and the deceased threw some dirt at his companion, whereupon Mr. Beslin came up ana pulled him oj one of his ears until it was almost out of the socket. Dr. Goldschmidt found that the ear had been partly pulled from the boy's head and two immense swelling-i had been caused beneath them. Finally, the brain had been affected and caused his death.
