Jeremiah Woy,
dotT-3!!.. proprietor.
I have been back to my borne again.
To the piare where I was born.
I have heard the wind from tlieetormy roam
(in rustling through the corn ;
I hare seen the purple hill once inure ;
I have stood on the rocky coast
Where the wavesstorm inland totheshore ;
15 ut the thing that touched me most
Was a little leather strap that kept
Some school-books, tattered and torn.
I riphed, I smiled, I could have wept.
When I catne to them one morn ;
For I thought of the merry little lad,
In the morning sweet and cool.
If the weather was good or weather bad,
(o whistling off to school.
My lingers undid the strap again,
And I tlio't how my hands had changed.
And half in loving, half in pain,
Backward my memory ranged.
There was th-i grammar I knew so well
I didn't remember a rule ;
And the old blue speller I used to spell
Ilc'ter than any in school ;
And the wonderful geography
I've read on the green hillside.
When i told myself I'd surely see
All the land in the world so wide,
From the Indian homes in the far. far Wet
To the mystical Cathay.
I have seen them ali. But home is best
When the evening shades fall gray.
And there was the old arithmetic,
All tattered and stained with tears.
I and Jamie and little I'icW
Were together in by-gone years.
Jamie has gone to the bitter laud ;
And I get now and again,
A letterin Dick's bold, ready hand
From some great Western plain.
There wasn't a bixk, and scarce a page.
That hadn't some memory
Of days that seemed like a golden age.
Of friends I shall no more see.
And so I picked up the boots again,
And buckled the straps once more,
And brought them over the tossing main ,-
Come, children and look them o'er.
And there they lay on the little stand.
Not far from the Holy Book ;
And the boys ami girls with loving carp
O'er grammar and speller look.
He aid : " They speak to me, children dear.
"fa past without annoy ;
And the Book of !oks in promise clear
Of a future full o: joy,"

fU R M'KM.IXG MATCH.
"I must tell you. my dear, how
much I enjoyed the spelling match
in your shool one afternoon ; it re
minds me so much of when I was
Touiiff. I'm right glad they have
ppllin2 matche in Fchools. When
I was a eirl w young folks thought
a preat deal of the ppellinV we had,
and this one of ynrs brought back
that old country chv)l house where
I got the little learnin' I hare, so
that I could shut my eyes and eee it
ns plain as theday.
"It was placed on a little rise of
round, right at the edge of a big;
grove ot hickory nut and walnut
trees. Old 'Squire Hepner gave tlie
ground for it out of his wood patur'
lot, and in summer time the grass
crew thick, and full of flowers down
the slope in tront of the house, to the
rail fencw that shut off the school
ground from the road. We used to
eat our lunches in the fence corners
on spring days.
"You can't think how thick the
grass was, nor how bright and greeji
the mo. was we'd find on the old
rails. And all along the edge of the
grove, and peepiu' up so ehy and
sweet and modest like, was the vio
lets and daisies and bluebells and
yaller butter cups for us to place in
our hair and pile un the teacher's ta
ble.
'Then in winter, we'd hare such
gay times coastm down the slope,
and statin' on the pond just acrost
the road. Me and ruv little brothers
and sisters walked two milfs to go
to the log school house, and thought
"You've spelt pretty well this af
ternoon, scholars, and I'm glad of
it; for, to my thinking, (spelling's
the most important thing a bady
can learn. In fact it stands to rea
son that you've got to be good spel
lers before you can be good readers,
or real good in anything. It's all
well enough to kiww how to figure
correctly, and I reckon grammar's
well enoush, though I never took
much stock in it Geography and
altrebry and history and all that is
good enough in its place, but accord
ing to my notion, spelling beats 'em
all.
"And now to encourage you in
being good spellers, and to stop the
bragin' of some deestrickts not far
from here, I'm coin' to make it an
object fer you to study your spellers
like sixty for the next six weeks.
"In six weeks from to-night we'll
have a spellin' match in this house,
and I want it cirkilated 'round that
airy school in this township is free
to come in amd spell for the prize
I'll offer, which is twenty-five dol
lars in cash, to the one that spells
down everybody.
"Now, take your spellers heme to
night and do something else with
them besides a chawin' the corners
tff." And with that the 'Squire made
one of his stiff bows to the teacher
and walked out.
"I tell you, twenty-five dollars
was a large sum of money in those
days, and when it was known that
the prize had been offered, there was
more studyin' of our old blue back
ed spellers than there ever had been
before. We used to take them home
every nieht, and our fathers and
mothers would give us all the hard
words, "like 'daguerreotype,' and
'phthisic,' and 'receipt,' and those
with silent letters in them, and we
would spell them over and over
again.
"The offering of the prize set the
whole township in a commotion, and
nothin else was thought of or talked
about. The Red Haw and Jack Oak
deeitrickts let it be known that they
would trv for the prize, and thev
had some irooci spellers in those
schools. 'sueciallT in the Red Haw
school.
"But none of them had a belter
record than Harriet Hepner, and
they say that in those six weeks
she studied her speller fight and
day.
rlks who had passed the Hep
ner houe at midnight declared that
through the winders from the road
tuey had seen Harriet sitting on a
stool up again the fireplace, leaning
her heat! against the wall and the
'Squire sitting in his old hick'ry
chair, spellin' book in haad and a
tallow dip in the others, givin out
words to her and everybody else
was in bfd. No wonder tlie girl be
c tine thin and peaked.
"You see the Squire fairly hnted
the Red Haw deestrict. and about
everybody in it. The Red Haw and
ours had formerly been one deestrict
and he opposed their being divided,
because lie owned lots of land in
both deestrickts, and he knew that
if they were divided there would be
an extra tax for a new school house
and a new school fund, and it went
mightily against the grain for him
to have to pay extra taxes for a
school that he did not get any good
of.
"But at the tmwii meetin' the Red
Haw folks carried their point against
the old J-quire, and were set on as
an inde pendnttdeestrickt. Always
after that the 'Squire seemed to hate
them. Ther laughed at him and
twitted him about bavin' extra tax
es to pay, so that the 'Squire really
had some cause for feelin hurt. Rut
then there was no excuse for his bit
ter spite, and snappy ways toward
everybody.
"The 'Squire had a sister livin
"The night was one of the clearest drop then. Everybody was half

like bright lamps in the sky. The "Old 'Squire Hepner did ot move

sible still more to stimulate the bovs
and girls. A lot of the boys had bor
rowed a pair of sled runners and put
a big wagon box on them. Then
plenty of straw was put in the box,
and about twenty of us, boys and
girls, piled in, with lots of quilts and
buffalo robes and warm shawls.
"I had my first beau that night
His name was Azraiel Whitehead,
and of all the ark ward boys he was
the awkwardest. I think it was the
first girl he had ever asked to ac
company him to any gatherin'.
Anyhow, I know he fell flat on his
back tryia to help me out of the
sled, and he let me go head first into
a snow bank.
"I retweniber tbat his handker
chief was wet with cinnamon drops,
and that he gave me a handful ol
peppermint and cloves.
"1 remember, too, how we all of
us went up and down hills and
through long white lanes, singin'
and laughin' at the top of our voices.
We made the old woods and the
yalleys ring. 'es, and the sled up
set, too, and we were all thrown out
in a ditch.
"I remember how the edge of the
wagon box caught my beaux big
leet under it, and I thought I should
cry from mortification when he lay
there and actually bawled and snif
fled. I was so put out about it that
I would not sit by him after we got
into the sled or speak to him after
wards. "When we got to the school house
we found it packed so full that we
could but just crowd in. Young and
old were there, and some of the vis
itors had come as far away as ten
miles. Most everybody had brought
a candle to stick up on the logs. I
There v. ere four different teachers
there, and well known spellers from
all over the township.
"Tifcta Plumb and I 'chose up.' I
got first choice and took Harriet
Hepner. She was pale as death, and

poor, thin, patched, old and faded
calico dres, and a thin cottan shawl,
with a ladetl old red hood on her
head.
"She hadn't any gloves or mittens,
and I saw a hole worn in her shoe
as she put her foot up on the stove
hearth.
"Sam was then about fifteen vears
old, but not as tall as some boys of
nine vears. He was very thinly
dressed for such a sharp night, and
they had walked fully two miles.
"I felt sorry for them, they looked
so pititul in their shabbiness, for
everybody else in tne school house
was at least warmly dressed, and a
good many had bright ribbons and
hats and flounced dresses.
"Old 'Squire Hepner was sittin in'
a chair on the teacher's platform,
and I saw a dark frown on his face
when Mrs. Waitely and Sam came
in. But I spoke up at once, and
took Sam on my side. It happened
to be my turn to chonse, and I was
bound the poor i'.llow should not be
slighted, whether he could spell or
not.
"He had half a mind not to spell,
but I saw his mother reach out her
hand and gently push him ; and
then he hobbled down to the end of
the line and stood within a foot ef
his Uncle Hepner.
"Then the spellin' commenced. I
blush to tell it, but I actually missed
the very first word given to me, and
that was 'mermaid.' I spelled it
'm-u-r, mer.' I knew better, but I
was so nervous I could not collect
niy thoughts. So 1 had to take my
seat, and of course I had a little cry
all to myself.
"Rut I nearly laughed so as to be
heard all over the room when Az
raiel Whitehead missed 'goose.' He
spelled it 'guse,' and he had told me
in conlidence that he half expected
to get the prize, and had been stud
inr his speller for weeks.
"Klecta missed 'emanate.' She
spelled it with an 'i,' instead of an
a.'
"Cindy Patch missed 'tranquilizer

purse, and was to give them himself
to the winner.
it seems to me that that poor
crrippled boy got help from en high
that night. I never saw anything
like it! At first he was so shy that
his voice almost trembled ; but when
he and his cousin he bad never spoke
to, stood up there alone, and his
fierce old uncle glared so contempt
uously at him, the little fellow rais
ed himself to his full height, and
from that moment never flinch
ed. "His large eyes glistened, and he
threw back his head and looking
boldly at his uncle and spelled his
words in a loud clear tone that fair
ly took people's breaths a
way. "His mother had quietly slipped
through the crowd and had taken
a seat behind him ; and those that
sat near her said she got one of his
hands in hers and held it, while the
tears streamed down her face.
"The two spelled against each
other for a full half hour ; and all
the time poor Harriet was as white
as a sheet, and I could see that 6he
was tremblin' from head to
foot.
"At last the teacher gave the word
'tyrannou.-ly." Harriet spelled the
first syllable, then stopped and stam
mered, looked imploringly at her
father, and then trembling went on
and spelled it with one 'n.'
"How ditl you spell it Harriet?
Did vou have only '
"Squire Hepner had been looking
on a spelling, dook, too. ow he
turned sharply around to the master
and in his hardest, coldest voice,
said :
"She missed it, sir. Pass it to the
next."
"Saiu spelled it without hesitating
an instant.
"You could hnve heard a pin drop
in that room. It was still as death
Harriet dropped into l.cr seat and
hurried her face in her hand. Squire
Hepner's face never changed. With
out a word he rose, reached out his
long arm, beckoned for Sam to come
to him, and then dropped into the
lad's outstretched hand the purse.
Turning and facing the breathless
people, he said :
"I want you all to know that I
think this has been a fare and square
match, and my nepheic deserves the
prize."
"Without further words he took
his" hat and marched out of the
house."
'Well, the Red Haw people act
ually carried Sam home on their
shoulders, with Mis' Waitled close
behind cryin' as if her heart would
break with joy and nervousness.
Rut she had on a long, warm shawl
that I saw Mis'Squire Hepner throw
over her as she stepped out of tke
door.
"One of my sisters went home
with the Hepner that night, and she
said that Harriet cried all the way
home, and was in mortal terror at
the thought of meetin' her father.
She stopped on the doorstep a long
w hile, and when she did finally step
into the room, tremblin' and fairly
moanin', her father, who was sittin'
with his haad between his hands be
fore the fire, got up and walked over
to her and actually kissed her there
before them all. Then he went off
to bed without a word.
"But what lollowed was better
still. The next day the 'Squire took '
his big sled, put in lots ot hay and
blankets, and drove oft like Nimshi
himself to his sister's. Naone even
knew what happened there, but it
ended in Mis' Waitely and all
the children going home with the
'Squire.
"He declared that it was an hon
or to know a boy that could spell
like Sam. They say he had that
bov spell the dictionary half through
that day, and fairly hugged him
when he spelled correctly the longest
word in it.
"The 'Squire was the strongest
man on the subject of spellin' that
ever I heard of. Nothin' but Sam's
knowin' how to spell so well ever
softened his heart towards his sister
and her children. And nothin'
pleased him more than to have Sam
and Harriet spell against each other
for hours at a stretch."
The author of " A Ride to Khiva''
gives this account of his sufferings
during his terrible winter journey
across the plain" of Asiatic Russia,
when carelessly neglecting to pro
tect his hands in his great mittens,
ht fell asleep and woke to find them
frozen. His servant chafed them
with snow, but could not restore the
circulation.
It is no good," he said, looking
ing sorrowfully at me. " We must
get on as fast as possible to the sta
tion. How far off is it ?"' he inquir
ed of the driver.
" Seven miles," was the an
swer. " Go as fast as you can !"' I
cried.
The pain, which by that time had
ascended to the glands under my
arms, had become more acute than
anything I had hitherto experienc
ed. Apparently extreme cold acts in
two ways on the nervous system
sometimes, and more mercifully, by
bringing on a slumber, from which
the victim never awakes ; and at
others by consuming him, as it were
over a slow fire, and limb by limb.
In my sutlering each mile of the
way to the station seemed a league,
and each league a day's jour
ney.
At last we arrived. Horn ing to
the waiting room, I met three Cos
sacks, to whom I showed my hands.
The soldiers led me into an outer
room, and having taken off ray coat
and bared my arms, they plunged
them up to the shoulder in a tub of
ice and water. However, there was
now no sensation whatever, and the
limbs, which were of a blue col
or, floated painleaslr in the wa
ter.
The elder of the Cossacks shook
his head, and said :
"Brother, it is a bad job; you will
lose your hands. '
"They will dropoff," remarked
another, "if we camiot get back the
circulation."

appeal fell upon deaf ears, and the
duchess was bliged to hide herself.
One of hea suite, named Deutz,
agreeed to sell to the government,

two packages, each containing
twenty-five thousand francs. As
Deutz approached the desk, the secre
tarymade a sign to him to stop.

up the packages, and dropped them in
the hands of the traitor, pointing to
