I him to linger ; and ever with a kind of jncoe !
word for his acquaintances, he was loved al- j
most as much as Hob Llilion was despised
The loss ola dime gave Lldlou the h: st shot, ,
' and stepping forward he drew his rifle to his j
sliouider and pulled the trigger ; the hail cut !
thi edge of the paper and hurried itself deep '
in a tree.
" A ni'S-s !" cried half a doien voices.

Stepping as slowly as though ahout to draw
ujioii a deer Vouglm lowered his gnu lo its

j all watched his fire with eagerness. After
i 'aking steady aim a minute, the trigger was
' puiied, the paper disappeared in un instant,

Every hand hut one was extended to greet
, the victorious youth, every face hut one was

one was Robert Hilton's. He spoke no' a

j long you have dwelt in tins solitude ?"
" 1 live not far from here," was the reply,
i " and go out ouce in u while to pick up a stray {
' deer or so."
" How long have you lived in these parts?"
' asked Gordon again.
j " Six or seveu months," was the reply, " I
! generally stay about that time in one spot. —
Next week I shall move away."
" Why do you move to often !" said Gor '
' don
" BeCiiose," replied the stranger, a fierce
1 light gleaming in h>s eye, "I'm seeking one
who lives S"iuewhere in Kansas. Perhaps you
know hiiu, his name was Rob Hilton?"
" And vonr name," exclaimed Gordon, " is
Herlert Vanghu "
iu an insrant his rifle was primed and point
ed at Gordon's breast, but the latter gra-ped
it and the coutei ts passed harmlessly iuto the
air. Again however, before he could utter one
word the stranger folded him hi his bercuieous
embrace aud bore him to the ground. Gordon
was a man of great personal strength as well
as couruge, vat he seemed only an infant in
tbe grasp of the desperate man. When the
stranger, looking his victim full in the face, re
leased his hold exclaiming. "You're not the
man, I suould know bun among a thousand,
you are not Robert Hilton. Get up man and
thank you. stars I had not shook your heart
out of you "
Gordon then proceeded to tell his name,and
brought to mind the part lie bud enacted in
the quarrel of year.- before. Vaughn (for it.
wa* nun} again and again shook lite baud of
his old comrade, and ul length sunt :
" Well, if you can find a place in your cabin
for a buffalo like iiu., I'll go with yoo, if not
eav so."
Of course Goidon invited him to partake of

herculean in strength, and gigantic in propor
tions, which i cl.ued the victory to neither
side. Rut the tremendous nerve and inex
haustible strength ol Vaughn at length cou
quered, and Hilton fell to the ground beneath
the body of his antagonist.
Tnere was a triumph in the eye of Vaughn
which argued no sympathy, no hope for the
wretched man, and Gordon involuntarily turn
ed his head to one side to avoid the fatal blow.
A slight struggle from the prisoner as his ao
togonist sought the knife at his cirdle, and
then with a slasbiug sound, through the cloth
of his garments, sped the iu*trumeut of death,
directly, to the heart of his victim.
Gordon and his friend exchanged no word
that night ; both retired to rest with the cou- I
viction that justice had been meted out
Next morning the stiffeoed corpse of a man
pierced to the heart, lay ou tbe floor of Gor- J
dou's cabin. The log floor was perforated an i
inch or more by the blade of the knife, and *
clotted blood ran ir. a crimson stream across
the hearthstone. Bit Herbert Vaughn had j
vanished, and ou the floor was traced iu rule
characters :

Hints Concerning Small Children-
Some of (he greatest difficulties which many
j teachers Lave to meet, arise from the young
est children. It is often pleasant to see their
eagerness to go to school with their brothers
and sister*; and their smiles sometimes add
i cheerfuluess to the place, without interrupting
I business ; but more frequently tbey cause dis
turbance,and b.iCle the teacher in all his effort*
I to beep the others attentive aud orderly.
Many teachers suffer 6mall children to at
, tend their schools, out of respect to their
: parents, or for some other reusou, while they
j feel that get little good and do much
i harm. Intelligent persons know, too, that the
) trouble they give is sot generally intentional,
: but arises cut of so.no natural caue, such as
• inconvenient seats, want of change, of exercisa
| or f appropriate occupation.
Now nost district schools are .so ill provid
ed for the comfort of young children, and most
, of them are conducted on a system so ill calcu
lated to keep them interested, that probably
many teachers of such schools may think tbo
I difficulties above spoken of can never beobviat-
I ed. When it i possiole, the small children
may be placed in a separate room, with great
advantage, under the care of a female ; but in
many districts this is not easily done.
| It happens, however, that some schools in
i different places have been so improved, both
i iu arrangements and methods of teaching, thai
| these evils have been ultnost entirely removed,
iWe will gve a biief account of one such
school, hoping that some teachers will try ex
! periments for their own benefit and that of
j their pupils.
A few months ago the teacher of a district
| school, in a country village, complained that
the little children (many of whom were sent
to his school to be kept out of the way.} great
i lv interrupted bis discipline and instructions.
To the eye of a visitor th n y indeed presented
a painful spectacle, being left almost entirely
to themselves, with nothing to do which thev
jCOuIJ und rstand, and seated on benches so
' high, that thej feared a tall, and not uufre
qaently got one. The weakest were often
crowded, or otherwise oppressed and irritated
by the stronge-t ; and their complaints acd
cries, sometimes with langhter, confused
the master, diverted the attention of the other
children, and displeased the spectator.
A few week? afterwards, at another call, the
i visitor found three or four low benches placed
in one corner of the room, and all the small
; children seated on them, some with slates and
penrils. They were attentive, cheerful and
silent. Their Tittle feet rested on the floor,
j they could lean back when weary, and every
fifteen or twenty minutes the teacher, or one
,of his most tmst worthy and capable elder pu
pils gave vf -rd* o' command, or some signal,
and they rose, clapped t.eir Lands, faced to the
r.ght and eft, and made various motions in
imitation of him. Then they woold sing some
!." tie by a or song they had learnt ; and after
wards repeat the additioo or multiplication
table all together, or hear a story lead about
the cow, lion, eagle, or some other object,
while a picture of it was held np before tbem.
T;,e teacher said that he had derived indes
cribable re lio f from this change in his school ;
and that, after the few first days, the other
scholars were not disturbed by the excrcisea.
Always Teach Something, and but One
Thing at a Time.
"Children who have the habit of listening to
word- without understanding thex, yawn and
writhe with manifest symptoms of disgust,
whenever they are compelled to bear sound*
which cor.vey no ideas to their minds. AH
; supernumerary words should be avoided ia
cultivating the power ot attention.
" A few years ago, a gentleman brocgbl
two E-quimsax to London. lie wished to
and at the same time to astonish tbem,
with tbe mag-Jfigerce of the metropolis. For
th porpose, after having equipped tbem like
Eng!i-h gentlemen, be took tbem out one
morning, to walk throuzh tbe streets of London.
Ytiey waxed several hours in s.ience : they ex
pre?sed neither nor admiratiou a* any
thing they saw. Ween their walk wa ended
they appeared uncommonly melancholy and
stnpified A soon as they got borne, tbey sat
down, with their elbows upon their knees, and
bid their faces between their bands. The only
words they could be brought to ntter were :
' Too much icnok-?—too much noise—too macb
hon-es—too much men—too mac fa every thing.'
'• Some peopie who attend pclhc lectures
on natural philosophy, .th the expectation of
being much amused and instructed, go home

E-qu oi iUX : tbey feel that tbey have bad too
