And Miss Meadows went and was

with a pleasant family who resided
near tbe scbooibeuse; she bad atipu

ine received a Tisit from Squire Te-

self-important man, and inspired tbe

"Certainly not," sbe replied, with

"I suppose not," the man said,
little abashed: "but it seemed fonov
tbat too did not know."
' I hardly see why I was expected
to know without being told," she re
plied, coldly.
Tbe first few days passe4 pleasant
ly enough in school, although every
evening found tbe director at tbe
boarding place of tbe teacber. At
length bis attentions became quite
demonstrative, although bia gallant
ries were more like tbe prancing
oi an ex tnan tbe wooing of a gentle
man. Mis Meadow tried in every pos
sible way, except by positive rude
ness, to show perfect indifference.
But, blinded by bis absurd egotism;
be could not see, and at last, after a
little more than three week acquain
tance, she was obliged to listen to a
proposal to become bis wife
' I am very eory. Squire Teters, to

tbe room, and, soon after from tbe
bonse. Miss Meadowa was well
aware that sbe bad made an enemy
of one wbo bad tbe power to annoy
ber, and sbe very little doubted bis
determination to do bo.
Tbe next day in school wis not a
pleasant one. Tbe Teter boy took
liberties as tbey bad cot doce before,
and the whole school seemed restless
and excited like a lake when the
tonn first approaches. For a week
be was subjected to the most harass
ing annoyances. First ber dek was
g5rreptitirously opened and some vol
nr rhvmea written on ber schedule;
then wax wa placed in ber chair,
a ben wa next hidden in the desk,
to tj oot and frighten tbe teacher a
well as scholars into spasms ; then
a caricature Miss Meadows ap
peared on the black-board; and all
done so rlvly that not n clew could
be discovered to tbe perpetrators.
Tbe teacber suspected, nsy, was al
most sure wbo were at tbe bottom
of the mischief, bat sbe hsd no way
of tracing it home to them. Sbe
carried tbe ke? of the acboolboose,
and all defied any knowledge of
another. And yet some person ot
persons, evidently came and went at
pleasure. Finally, the key she car
ried was 6tolen from ber reticule, and
she found herself locked from tbe
house.
Sbe went to ber boarding House
and then sent for Squire I eters, as
tbe proper officer to whom to apply.
He sauntered into me room m i
moat nonchalant manner, and inso
lently asked:
"What now, Mi-?"
She ouietlv referred to tbe misde
meanor of some of tbe scholars, and to
ber fruitless endeavor to find out
tb guilty parties, and, lastly, to tbe
purloining of tbe acaoomouse aej
from ber reticule.
"Then you ehould take better care
of it; that's all I've got to say."
But what am I to do. to regain
possession of the schoolroom? I am
willing to purcnase aaotner ioa ior
the door."
"No; yoo are locked out and can
stay out I told my boys if they
could turn you oot of school they
might do it," and they have. Good
on the boys, I say. "Things might
have teen" very different, and my
boya as quiet as lambs, and every
thing lovely, if yoo bad not been
such a fool."
"Then I am to eonsidtr myself
dismissed?"
"No, turned out of school by your
own scholars."
"I see. But as I have faithfully
attended to my duties aa long as 1
was permitted to do so, I shall ex
pect tbe amount of wages !or one
month."
"Xot a penny, if I know it Yoo
was hired to teach three months, and
bavo failed ia vour contract, and it
is null and void. Clear out borne

bim, with a cnuckie, mat tney oaa
some mighty smart boy. In fact,
tbat tbey bad turned tbe last teacber
oot of school and locked the dojr on
her.
"Smart bovs; but rather hard on
tbe teacber, waa it not?"
"Not a bit of it; good enough for
her. Sbe waa proud aa Lucifer, and
poor as poTerty. My boys were at
the bottom of the whole th'ng.

It was tbe oldest son who propelled
it, and wbo was just preparing to let
fly another, when, with a bound like
an acro'bat, tbe teacber w3 over the
seats, and, with a band on bis collar
jerked tbe young ruffian into the
middle of tbe room. Then drawing
a riding whip from its concealment
somewhere about bia person, he ad
ministered a severe flagellation on
tbe young reprobate, wbo bawled io
pain and terror, and called on bis
brother to come on and help bim
whip tbe teacher.
This tbe latter attempted, but was
kept off until Frank Barstow for

The apology was at once written,
with fear and trembling. And then.

Gray, undressed linen suits, says a
fashion journsl, tre made op with
great simplicity, and will give litUe
trouble to ih laundress. 1 bey have
no fionnees. The skirts are .scea
nearlv up to tbe koee, with a narrow
bias band beading tbe aamc; stitched
on either with or without pipings.
Tbe long apron baa two wide sash
ends in tbe bark, edged with narrow
bias bands. Tbcse wide sashes are
sewed in a box plait to the belt in tbe
bark, and caught op lower down with
tapes to form loops. The corsage is
either a side-plaited or Russian
blouse, over which, when ia tbe street,
is worn a sack of stylish shape, fcbort
in the back and long in front, double
breasted, and with deep rolling col
lar. Such suits are convenient, easi
ly laundried, and serviceable for all
occasion wbere full street dress is
not required, or for short trips into
tbe coontry.
The grenadines, bereges, gauzes,
Mexicaines, and tussores are made
up over silki of tbe aame shade.
More frequently tbe lower skirt is of
silk, while tbe tunic and corsage are
of the gautr fabric, trimmed with
frioges or jet beaded lace. In mak
ing Dp tbe grenadines with tbe im
mensely wide stripes described in a
previous article, great taste, or tbe
want of it may be displayed. For
instance, it would be very bad taste
to throw a wide watered stripe ol
grenadine under, instead of on the
top of a Watteau plait in tbe back
of a skirt Tbe apron also requires
one of the broad silken stripes down
tbe cfcter, not on one side. Tbe
sleeves should show a front breadth
of tbe watered stripes, while tbe back
may be covered with a shirred puO
of the grenadine. Jet fringe of a
fine quality, and crochet buttons,
seeded with jet, must be used in trim
ming. For the cream and ecru-colored
fabric?, white and ecru guipure
laces are the accepted trimmings.
Lace is used to a greater extent than
ever as a trimming, and large pieces
of lace, such as points and sacks,
fichus and flounces, are utilized in
giving a light and dressy effect to
plaia and elegant silk dresses, either
colored or black. There is a growing
taste for that expensive luxury lace
amoag American women, and nev
er was it more in use as a trimming
for handsome suits than at present

Such a plague bad appeared near'

Tbe late Dr. Mason, in bis book on

Last summer a pair of robin red
breasts built tbeir test in the vicinity
of a fashionable country boarding
boose. In due time tbe beads
four young robins were observed by
-tome of the boarders peering above
the sides of tbe nest, when some
thoughtless boys passing tbat way
shot both the parent birds and left
tbe young ones to perish.
Tbe ladies and gentlemen, moved
to pity by the hapless condition
tbe poor birds, were devising plans
for tbeir relief, when a little brown
wren flew to the nest, surveyed the
unfortunate state of affairs for a mo
ment and tbn disappesred. In
few minutes it returned, bearing food
of some kind for the starving robins.
Much surprised at tbis, the humane
sympathizers resolved to await fur
tber developments before proceeding
to put their plans of relief into oper
ation, and were delighted to find tbe
wren bad in real good earnest assam
ed tbe care of tbat orphan family.
With untiring energy it hunted
worms and food of such kind as was
to the wants and tasUs of its pro
teges, and continued its kindly offices
until tbe robins were full fledged and
able to take care ot themselves.
Strange as tbis story may appear.
we have it fron the most undoubted
authority, and submit the question
whether reason or instinct was the
governing power with that kind heart

respect it may be said of them tbat
"Thry ibcw, cooUln aa J aoarUa all lh worlU.-
There was a time when the dra
matic stage waa tbe chief popular in
structor, and in all ages tbe priest
bas been an influential teacber. Tbe
press bis now become more import
ant ;han stage or pulpit, and we be
lieve that making all allowance for
its imperfections, it right worthily
meets the obligations of its responsi
ble position amidst the moving forces
of the times. It cheers, recreates
and instructs Whilst the newspa
pers have steadily been cheapened
in price, tbe outlay for their equip
ment has been steadily advancing.
In tbis particular tbey challenge
comparison with all other ectesprises
soliciting public favor. Tbey are,
through the pressure of a competi
tion which yearly intensifies and an
exacting popular demand which like
Oliver Twist ever " asks for more,"
qrgpd oi to fresher and postlier fea
tures, yet tbeir subscription end ei
vertiseing rates do not swell in like
ratio. No wonder tbat they are a
popular medium of pleasure and in-:
formation. But to return to tbe main
purpose of these remarks, are theyj
valuable ns educators ? Tbe general
intelligence of tbe people, the gener
al growth and prosperity of tbe coun
try settle the question affirmatively.
A tree is judged by its fruit, and tbe
people of this land certify by their
national shrewdness and good sense
tbat tbe school in which they have
been mainly educated is not an in
ferior one. Libraries may tarn out
book worms but tbe academy of tbe
press quickens men for tbe business
of life. It may not be the profound-
est learning, bnt profundity is not
needed for tbe average conduct of
affairs or forjhe natural demands of
social intercourse. The careful reader
of two or tbree good newspapers
will certainly become a well informed
person, in addition be will be prac
tically advised of tbe living coarse
of events, tbe actual verities with
which he has to deal so that ho is
forwarned and forearmed for tbe mul
tiplied exigencies of business. He
mayMgnora awk btrt ha cannot ro-
puaiate tbe newspaper. If he does
the penalty of ignorance will in some
form fell besvily upon him. Tbe
conclusion then at which we arrive
is that the press is tbe chief educator
and that its curriculum, though
neither exact er classic, is after all
best adapted to these modern times.
