FOUND AT LAST.
How Harry Flotee Got the School at Cron
berry Gulch.
" iSer, no doubt you have all the
ksrnin' that's required in a school

in' to make a man able to teach.

soon find that out if yon try. We've
had three who tried it on. One lays
there in the. graveyard ; another Yost
his eye and left ; the ,last one opened
school and left beforer \ poon time for
the benefit of his health. He hasn't
been back since. 'Now you're a slen
der build, and all your learnin' will
only make it worse,'for all our young
folks are ri4ughs and don't stand no
nonsense!" • •
\ This was what one of the trustees
Of the district said to my Mend Her
ry \ ylotee, when -he made application
for the vacant position of teacher
" Let the try. I know. I am slen
der. bui.\ \ l am tough and I have a
strong will s ," said Harry.
...
"Jest as you like. There's the
school-honse;\apd 11l have notice
giVen if
.you want it.done," said the
trustee. . \
" I do," said Harry ; - "and I'll open'
next Monday at nine A. m."
.• The notice was given; and there
.was a good deal of exciteinent in the
gulch and along the . ulia flats.
More than' fifty young pe4le of both
sexes made an excuse to drop into
the tavern to get a sight ac he fel.
low who thought he cenld keep school .
in that district, and Many a contempt
tuous: glance fell on the slender fo 3.
and' you:lful face of ' the would- '
teneher. .
Eight o'clock on 3londay morning
came, and Harry Flotee went down
to the schoolhouse with a key in one
hand and a vali!sc in the other.
" Ready to slope if he finds we're
too much for him," said a cross-eyed,
broad-shouldered fellow of eighteen.
The schoolhouse was unlocked and
the new teacher went to. the desk.
,Some of the yourg folks went in to
'see what he was going to do, though
school" was not called.
Hurry opened his valise and took
out a large twit.. Theo. after trick
ling it around his waist. he pin. three
Colt's navy revoliera there, each of

muttered the cross-eyed chap.

The complaint that machinerp robs
the lahOrer of his only capital is en
tirely unfounded. Machinery never
lessened the amount of work to be
done, though it has constantly
. chan-
ged the character of the work. The
labor-saving 'machinery emrloyed in
agriculture is almost entirely- the
nrodubt of the inventions of the past
thirty years. In no part of the world
has the introduction of such machine
ry Peen more general or more rapid
than in the grain-growing States . of ,
the West. The result is 'shown in
the census' reports. During the ten
years ending in 1:860, the farm hands
of those. States increased in ntimber;
more than fifty per cent. Daring the;
next ten, in spite of the losses of the
war, the' increase was about thirty
per cent.
.During the same twenty
years, the. population of .the country
as a whole increased only six,ty-seven
per cent. '
, When Walter Runt invented his
the first class. sewing machine in 1838, his wife pro-
Onkysix got up. lie escorted them tested that it would throw all the

Sun Francisco Chronicle.
i•, - -
The London : Times. in a recent is
sue says : The old naturalisf,s thought
generally that the buzzing of insects
,was produced - by the vibrations of
the wing; but they scarcely attempt
ed to analyze - the phenomenon, and
their opinion was abandoned when
Reaumer Showed that • when the
wings are iu - a blow-fly continues to
buzz. Otte* explanations of the
phenomenon. have been advanced by
I
vari us nattfralists. but none of them
are satisfactory.. M. Juusset de Bel
lesme has been making Some investi
gation on'the'stibject,andiafter Woe
big that, previous theories are unsat
isfactory; he describes the results et
his own researches: ' To avoiil confu 7
sion, it should • be distinctly under
s, owl what is meant by buzzing. In
the scientific accept-Won it means to
imitate the sofind.of the humble bee,
which is the type of the .buzzing in
sects. But the humble bee gives out
two very different sounds, which are
in - octavo - of. each other ' a grave
sound when it flies and a sharp sound
when it alights. • We say, then, that
buzzing is the faculty - of inseets to
protluce .two . ,sounds at an octave.
This definition limits' the . piteimme-:
non : to the hynomoptem and the_dip.
sera. Thecoleoptra often produce in'
flying a grave and dull Sound, but.
are 1 powerless •to emit 'the sharp:
sound, and consequently dO not buzz..
There are two or three ascertained
facts which will serer as.guides• in'
the interpretation. of the pile' neine
non. First, it is indisputable that
the grave sound always accompanies
the g reat vibration of* the wings,
which Serve for the translation of the
insect.. It is easily seen -that thiff
sound commences as soon as the
wings begin to move, and if the whigti
be 'cat off it disappears entirely. The
sharp sound is never, on the contra.
.ry, produced during flight; it is only
observed apait -from the great vittra•
tions of the - wings when the. insect,
alights, or when it is held so as to
hinder its. movement, and in that.
case the wing is seen to be animated,
by .a rapid trembling. .It is also pro-:
duced when the, 'wing is entirely. to-'
ken away. - From these two remarks;
we,May draw the conclusion that thel
graVe.sound belongs property to the
wings; that is caused by their great:
amplitude. There is h. re no difilettl-1
ty. AS to the sharp sound, it is cer
tainly. not , produced by -the wings:
since it sureirs the absence hf these]
Yet the wings, participate, in it and
undergo a' particular trembling dur4
ing the production of this sound. .T 0
discoVer the causejt, is necessary to
go back to the mechanism of the
movement of the wine, - It is known
that among nearly, all insects the
muscles which serve forfliglitare not
inserted in the wing itself, but in the,
parts of the' thorax which support it ,
and that it is the movement or,thetie
Which acts on the wing and-makes:it

A COMMENTARY ON BIOHES•
, W hat; a commentary on a life given.
to money making says the Lebanon
Ciiiirfrr, involved in the history of
A. .T. Stewart., one of - the richest
nit-u, so tar as the mere accumulation
of weditli is doncerned, that has ever
lived rind . died in oar country. To
pile up dollars.seemed to be - what. lie
fired for, and in - that he was stiecess- -
ful. Ile never that we have heard
of, wiis given,. to' generous, self

humanity. He was a slave to
money-gathering, just as the world
has its thousands of men-struggling
through life at this tithe - with nolligh
er—indeed no other—object in life
than the aeuumltaion. of wealth.
Mr. Stewart seemed to find little en
couragement in what
..a-generous ex-.
penditure from a large fortune
might command, and hundreds of
men with meagre incomes enjoyed
; more of the world's luxuries And
when' the end came,. what could his
. mllious do for him ! . He poised in-

into the dark valley of death as poor
as a beggar.- His wealth could d

the rest, and quiet of the re ains
are of any value, the wealth t at he
hoarded in life was a curse/to him.
His carcass - became a ,thing for
thieves to speculate upla'. What a
subject for reflection a c what a re
buke - to poor human ride ! And
then there is Com odore - Vander

to the common feelings of humanity;
they find no pleasures in social inter
course viith their fellows; they lost
all-manly regard for generous deeds;
the Object of their worship is gold.
A temperate desire to accumulate
a moderate competency is most cora--
mendable.. It is what every man

he is simply trying to get it as a
