A TRUE /EVIDENT.
at Fahnestock's.
One afternoon in the month of June,
1870, a lady in deep mourning, and fol
loWed by a dbild, entered one of the fash
ionable saloons In the city of N—. The
writer happened to be passing, at the time,
sod, impelled by curiosity followed her in
to sae. what would ensue. Stepping up
to the bar and addressing the proprietor,
whOlappened to be resew, she raid:
"Sir, tea you "wad me, I have no
Amos, and no friends; and am unable to

He glanced at her and then at the child
Rwith a mingled look of curiosity and pity.
Hvideatly he as somewhat surprised to
see avioman in such a place as that beg
ging, but without asking_ any questions
gave her some change, then turning to
those 'present, he said;
“Oentltunen,herc is a lady in distress,
=Mame of you assist her a little?"
They all cheerfully acceded to this request,
and ilimn a purse or two dollars was raised
Mal'placed in her liana.
"Madam," said the gentleman who
gave her the money, "why do you come
in saloons 7 It hml, a proper place for a

Turning her mournful, yet expregutive
eyes upon the speaker with an exiniiithon

she affectionately caressed the golden

turning to the proprietor of the saloon gibe
continued:
"Sir, the reason I occasiopraliy enter a

innocence. The unfinished gaines of bil
liards were laid by, the cards thrown aside,
the unemptied glass remained• upon the
counter, and all pressed near, some with
curiosity, sourer with sadness, and some
with pity beaming from their eyes, en-
traneed with the musical voice and pity of
a child, who seemed bettor tit to be. with
angels above than in such a place.
M the close of the song many were
weeping—men who had not shed a tear
for years, now wept like a child. Oue
young man who had resisted with scorn
the pleading of a loving mother 'and dear
friends to lead a better life, to desist from
a course that was wasting his fortune and
ruiuing his health, now approached the
child, and taking hei - hands while tears
streamed dawn his pale cheeks,•exclaimed
with deep emotion:
"God bless you, my little angel, you
have saved me from ruin and disgrace—
from poverty and a drunkard's grave. If
there were ever angels on earth you ace
one; God.bless you, God bless you," and
placing a bill in the hand of her mother,
said, "pletioe accept this trifle as a token
of my regard and esteem, for your little
gril has .done me .a kindness no wealth
can repay. And remember whenever you
are in want you will ever find a true
friend.° at the same time giving her his
name and address. Taking her child by
the hand she turned to go, but pausing at
the door said:
"God bless you, gentlemen, and please
.accept the heartfelt thanks of a poor and
friendless woman, fur the kindness and
owartegy you have shown her," and before
any one could reply, she waggon.
A silence of several minutes ensued
which was at last broken by the proprie
tor exclaiming:
"Gentlemen, that lady is right, and 3

any or you want any more you will hive
to go elsewhere, 11 •

THE SCHOOL TZACHIJUIPS STOILY.
Itlt JAMES HAVRICIS THOMPSON
You ask me itrbj I am opposed to .Alog

It makes them hate their teacher when .
they ought to love him. Children are
little grown folks, if you will accept the
expression, and, like big &Ike, they. al

When I was a boy I happened to get st?iti:4-

to this day every teacher that.ever whip

*bleb you may draw your own moral..
I aught school once myself. It was
down in a rural district of Pentusji
vania.
The school was a small ono, and the
Scholars were mostly under twelve years
of age. One, however, was thirteen, a
pretty brown-eyed girl, just as smart and
deter as she could be, and withal mis
chievous as a mouse. Her name was,--
well, they called her Joe, Joe Milroy.—
Eler parents were poor, but highly respect
&hie, living on a little forty-acre farm.
Joe wag-the most unruly girl I oversaw.
Yoe couldn't keep her out of mischief. I
hated to whip her. she Was getting so
much like a worMin in size, and I didn't
like to expel her from school, for she al
ways Itnew , her . iewrons by heart. 0, she
had tkie quiCkest mind I- ; aver saw.
But, sir, she kept the whole school un
ruly. A little boy would throw paper
wads across the floor, and of course I'd.
'
".Ycielltroy throws 'm and ye dont bun
her for it," the urchin would be sure to
say.
A little girl would laugh out loud, and
when I asked her what she was laughing,
for, she'd be sure to say:
"Joe Milroy made such a funny pietar

and worse. Piniill - I wentto Mr. Mn

about the way things - were' going on, and
aaked him what coarse I had better pur
sue.
"Whip her, air," said he emphatically,
"whip. her good. Make her mind you
just tlie same as t'other children. That's
what I say. I want my children control
ledat school, I do!"
Well, I went back to my school fully de
termined on bringing Joe Milroy to the
mark. , An opportunity was not kmg
wanting. I kept a sharp look out, and
presently I saw Joe woke pi,. great timer

on which it •-411 Wit clear across the
room to some litboys. The urchins
began giggling and tittering forthwith. I
took my whip firmly in my hand, fixed my
eyes sternly on Joe, and walked up to her.
She saw I meant something, and her pret
ty face roguish grew pallid in a second.-*
I did not say a word, bat raised my whip
and gave her wont ten severe lashes.
"Oh, air, oh!" sluLeried at *sty then
cloaixig her lips till they pressed into each
other, she looked me almost. fiercely in the
eyes till my blows ceased.
After that had no more trouble in my
soloed. MI went on well to the end. Joe
_knew all her lessons, bat was quiet -and
reserved. The last day came, and I gue
the Withal a "treat" of =sly and rais

she pulled it aside and would nottaste it.
I kaew by thhi that sin was brooding
over her late ohaatissinent. I warded to
part friendly with 811 my pupils, so 'I Inlet
and sat &inn by Joe, and said!
"What's the matter, Joe?" •
She looked up with greet ealm eyes. I

I tried to mean with her, telling her I

shook her head and compressed her lips.
Well, I west away from that neighbor
.hood never tone:are. Forty lle rawired me
and I became wealthy. Tan years had
made me a wiser man as well as s richer
one. Nor was I unknown to fame.
In a certain city whither I had gone to
deliver a course of lectures to w s young
men's society, I got.,acquainted with a
young woman, Josephine Milroy by
name, whose father was a millionarie.
With this young lady I fell desperately in
love. 0, sir, she was superbly, regally
beautiful. She was finely. educated,
graceful, and the finest singer I have ever
heard in private. Her conversational
poeers were charming, and withal this
she was tender and womanly.
I pressed my suit, never dreaming of
the little girl I had whipped in the coun
try school-house. She gave me her heart
and the wealth, woman's affection, it con
tained, and T gave her my very soul.
How happy I was, only a true lover, who
feels the glinietui influence of a gifted wo
man's power, on know.
One evening my affianced bride and I
took a stroll together in the park of that
city. We sat down on thegrassy brink of
a miniature lake, in the center of which a
great sea monster in bronze threw up
strong jets of flashing water, while all a
roma' him lay green,. flower"' Wahl bask
ing in, the 'rich glories of an early June
day.
We talked of our. love and our coming
nuptials, of the sweet, bright future that,
lay beyond. 0, it was ablissful dream, of
tender trance, a thrillinginterluds beyond
the i atern realities of life..
I rooked into the soft, dark eyes of the
gloiloas Weide me, and down over
the full, nawl„ queenly form, all, all mine,
and my heait swelledwitb pride and thank

common lot of man!
What demon wandering over earth en
ticed me and my memory back to the lit
tle leg school-house in Pennsylvania!
What tempted me to speak of little Joe
Milroy? Ah. who can tell ? No sooner ',did
I mention that school-house and some of
its associations than I saw a pallor chase
the flush of love from my cempanion's
face. Her lips grow cold* and firm, her
oyes flashed.
"Are you that szlool-teather, that mis
erable wretch whose memory I love to de.
test?" she asked, almost; fiercely.
I saw my dreadful dcoorn at once. I
fell ather feet and pleaded - as only an elo.

We parted forevet, And now, sir, it
seems to me that of the eats of my life
there is but one I would blot oat and that .
is the act I once thought so just and bene
ficial. 0, if I could suffer a redhot dag
ger through my heart for every blow I
,gave her, I would gladly bruit if it would
give me back the pure tote of her glorious
womanhood.,
Now that I can look coolly back over
the past there are many things in the elm -
pie but bitterst i pry of my 'ob that appeai
strange. The Mathes ef-Joide was
one of the fortunate men whom the discov
ery of oil made suddenly rich. He had
became a great financier and A iitucceigl4
speculator. His daughter and I met after
ten years_ of our sejaaration under such
vastly different circumstances, that neither
recognized the'other until that fatal even

but have no proof that my hope has reas

At the conclusion of the speech, a gen

Of all Witt prevalent among men, we
know of none more bligthingla its moral

of the virtue of women. Nor is there any
thing in which young men are so thor;

Plain words should be spoken on this
point, for the evil is a general One, deep
rooted. If young men are sometimes
thrown into the society of thoughtless or
even lewd women, they shoal know they
have no more right to measure all' other
women by what they see of these than
they have to" estimate the character of
honest and respectable oftizens. by the

A RIME ArAMIIIAIME CEIMIIIONT
Having been appointed Justice of the
Peace, I waii accosted on thelith day of
July, by a sleek looking young man and
in silveryiones requested to, proceed to a
neighboring hotel, as he wished to enter
into tho holy bonds,of matrimony. Here'
was a "squelcher." I had never done
anything of the loud, had no books nor
forms; yet. I was determined to do things
up strong, and in a legal, manner; so I pm
ceeded to the hotel, bearing in my arms
one copy of Revised Statutes, one ditto
Webeter'e Unabridged Dictionary, ono
copy large-sized Bible, a small copy of the
Creed and Articles of Faith of the Con
gregational Churoh, one copy of Pope's
Essay on Man, and a sectional plat of the
map where, the v i ctim lived. Having
placed a table in the middle of the room,
and seated myself behind it, I, in trum
pet tones, called the case. With that
the young man and woman, with great
alacrity, stepped up before me. Having
sworn them on the.: dictionary to amiss*
well and truly ali questions I was, about
to ask, I p,*ceeded. Ltold the yormg man
that being an entire stranger, I should
ask him to give bail for the costs. Hav
ing beard this so frequently iu court, I
thought it indispensable. He answered,
if I mgant the fee for performing the cere
mony, he would deposit it then and there.
As'l did not know exactly what I did
mean, I magnanimously waived that por
tion of the ceremony. I then told him
it would be necessary to give bail to keep
the peace. This be said he was willing
to do when he arrived home, and I then
waived that point also. e
Having established to my satisfaction
that they wanted to get married, and that
they were old enough to .enter into that
blessed state,,llui*eieded.to tie the knot.
I asked him if be was willing to take
iiiiterS;ulian to be hiS wife. Ile said he
was. I told iiim..that I. did not require
haste in the answer; that ho might reflect
a few momenta if he wished. I told him
she looked like a dna girl, and I had no
doubt she was; but if the sequel proved
that he had been taken in, I did not want
to be held responsible. I said be must
lore, boner, and obey her as long as she
lived; he must not be "snappy" around
the house, nor spit tobacco juice on the
floor; all of which he promised faithfully
to heed.
"Now 4 " said I, "GeoNgiana, (her name
was slitorgianao you hear what Hum
phrey. says. ,I)o you accept the invitation
tobeat
.his wife; will . you be lenient to-
Wanie faults, .and cherish his virtues;
will you never be guilty of throwing fur
niture at his head for plight offences, and
will You get three meats a day without
grumbling?" She said she would. I ask
ed them if they believed in the command
ments; they said they did. Having read
the articles of faith,*as aforeaitki, I exclaim
ed; "Humphrey, take her,- she is yours; I
cannot withhold my commit.", "Geor
gians, when safe in the arum of your Hum
phrey, you can defy the scoffs and jeers of
"the world."
I then read a little from the "Essay on
Man," including tliat peewee, "Man
wants but. little hero below,.but wants
that little long." Asa final to the scene, I
delivered the following exordium: "Go iu
peace, sin no more."
The generous Humptun! basing placed
a fifty cent check in my unwilling palm,
I bade the happy pair a final adieu.
Jost BiLtmos thus defines "horns."
"Dinner horns—This is the oldest and

AN eccentric minister, in a large

a grand common service at church. In
the course of the weddings he asked one

marry you all now and here; you can sort

rhamma, "if that's so, you can give him a
prize for perseverance!"
