SOMERSET,
BY THE HEDGE.
Over the same old nwd, sweetheart, tli.it we
strolled In the tons: ago.
I am waudcrlnjr once aralu, alone, where the
sweet wild rwi- elow;
And I pause by the hedge to whisier, dear, to
the bossomi so pink and fair.
A MKr littic faded wtrrow, love, there's no-
IkmIj- else to share.
Summer, with nil Its joy, sweetheart, is out on
the old highway.
Hut the bnvic siKh as they pass me by, and
nnto the forest stray;
Wistfully sigh the brwsex, love, an they ww
me standing there
By the old hedge row where the roses glow,
and nobody scent tocsirr.
Standing alone by the hedge, my love, I am
lost in a pi-nsive dream,
I am floating away through 0" uiunier day
where the old time roses tleiim;
The roses that slmrcd our sei'ret, love, the
T"f that smiloil as fair
As the promise true wc were glad to view with
iribody else to care.

ltadom'y cool of day
Come the echoes low of the long , tlie
tend.n'St things to say;
Ati.i I smile ugalu as tlie twilight giows, and
banish my long d. spuir
With a thought of vihi thtit is swvel and true,
und wonder if you will run.
Soiim thing of other days, sweetheart, the
brt'-s are singing low.
Something that thrill the ros.-, love, and

Notes, deeds and other legal documents

is 12, show that numbers; of citizen-
could not write. The figntitures are
with a mark. Alout the only liook
they possessed was the tlermail hilile-
N e wsj uipers were rarely mvii. In fact,
the early Kttlers had no time for read
ing. There was no time for anything
but for the hardest kind of manual
labor. The whole county was covered
with a dense forest, To clear the land
for cultivation was an arduous ta.-k. It
was as difficult to get rid of first-class
thither then as it is to find it now. The
tallest pine, the sturdiest oak, the
toughest hickory w ere all felled in one
indiscriminate mass, and no one ex
claimed "WtxMlman, spare that tree."

sistance save guch as they could get
from neighUiH on special K.'caioiis,
anil Irom their own progeny. Geneal
ogy, as exhibited in the family bibles,
still to he seen in some of the older
families, shows that it was a rare thing
for parents to have less than ten chil
dren, but ijuite customary for the same
father aud mother to have from eigh
teen to twenty-four. From the time
that a child w as old enough to herd
cows or plant iotatcs to the time he
attained his majority, his iKircnts got
all the work out of him they could.
K very one of the children, Irrespective
of "age, sex or previous condition of
servitude'?) had to work hard. The
Iluths and Naomis of that day did not
only glean, but had to cut a swath with
I!na7.as welL This regime had not con-
tin Jed more than two score years when
the lir.st gleams of Somerset, county's re
naissance began to light the horizon.
A few individuals w ith a smattering of
knowledge and great pretensions made
tlu'ir apjiearance in various jwrts of the
county and announced themselves as
school "masters." Among these was a
stalwart fellow by the name of Jack
(Jrifiith. He opened a school in a pri
vate residence, t There were no sahool
hnuses then, nor for a long time after
wards.) Griffith' powerful physiijue
gave him great prestige with the fath
ers. With them his broad shoulders,
brawny-arms and horny bands were a
greater recommemlat ion than a 'mas
ter's certificate from Oxford would have
been. His preliminary exercises in
oiening sclpxil were somewhat ditl'er
ent from those now in common use.
Instead of reading a chapter from the
Scriptures and then proceeding with
classification, he gave every one of his
pupils a sound "thrashing." This was
intended to impress upon them that he
was "Monarch of all he surveyed."
The iarents were well pleased with the
m.-tliod, but the only pleasure the
pupils derived from it was the old
a Jage which the human race still fost
ers. "Misery loves company." If
any pupils were not present the first
day, they were initiated when they ap
peared, with as much care as to detail
as the other novices had received. The
three It's, "readin", ritia' and rethim-
tic," were the branches taught. Of
course "srK-lliu' " was also given much
attention. Solomon's code of disci
pline was always enforced aud from it
there was no appeal. Griffith taught
his pupils that the first sound of the
letter a as we find it in the alphabet
was pronounced in the second sound,
as a in far. He had them spell ache
"Ah-che," and pronounce it "olr."
The letter z he taught them to pro
set

nounce "izzard." They spelled the word
buzzard 'bii-iz.irdHbuzz)-izzard-7.ard-
buzzard." The letter h he taught them
to pronounce "etch." The spelling
was entirely oraL The old English
sjiel'ing book was used. Iu this was a
page devoted entirely todill'fult and lit
tie used words. Among themwas the
word "catarrh" now in general use, as
the general coughing and sneezing in
every audience only too amply attests.
Griffith pronounced this word "ca
tarsh" ; and syntax with him was
"swine-tax." Tradition says that at a
spelling-bee one of the citizens asked
the teacher to define "charity."
Gritlith told him it meant the same as
"marriage." "Itethmctic" was the
"master's" hobby, liy threats and rod
he pushed some of the older pupils as
far as the rule of "Tare aud Tret.'
Gritlith felt very much elated over his
success. I'p to this tima he was, pcr
h:ijs,not aware that he possessed p-eti-cal
genius, but now the lumbering
muse awoke, and he burst forth in this
strain, perhaps the first ever heard in
that wilderness :
Mle who works al Tan and Tret,
Will see that he must swear and sweat."
lxw le it spoken, there is irhaps
more truth than jxa-try in the couplet
at least the epic stamp is not on iL
During the Gritlith regime the custom,
long afterwards a bugbear to the teach
er, of penning out the master nt the
holidays and making him stand treat,
was instituted. As the holidays ap
proached the pupils hatched their oii
spirary. One sunny day at high noon
Griffith took a stroll into the woods.
When he returned half an hour after
watds he found the door locked and
every window barricaded. He threat
ened to tlog every one of them if they
did not ojK-n the door instantly. A
voice from the ramparts said as soon as
lie complied with the terms ofthel-e-sciged
the iortaIs would be thrown
open ; otherwise not. Uy this time the
assaulting party was beginning to feel
that it was a cold day and accepted the
terms without further parley. He treat
ed the school to two bushels of upples
and two gallons of apple whisky. The
juveniles and girls ate the apples, while
the young men and master distos-d of
the whisky. It was not long lefore
they were
Koii and unco happy,"
and the jollification ended in a free
fight. IVrhaps, in houor of the occa
sion, but more likely as a high appre
ciation of the teacher's bibulous im tli-
ties, afterwards apple whisky had the
soubriquet of "Apple Jack," which it
still retains.
During the next decade a cross-eyed
IliUrniaii, who wore sectaeles and
shoes pointed and turned up at the toes
like a Turkish slip-nT, put in his ap
pearance. His name was Durnibg.
With him he constantly curried a
Latin volume which he took care to
display to every one lie met, akiug
whether they had ever seen a Latin
InhiIv. How strange, yet true, that il
literate people have always looked ujkiu
any one w ho had something to do with
the Latin language as an erudite.
Though the citizens did not know
whether Durning could read and trans
late a word of Latin, they concluded
that he was one of the smart ones of
this earth, if not tlie brightest, and
many of them wondered "How one
mall head could contain all he knew."
There is no proof that this teacher was
an epicure, but it is a well attested fact
that he had a soft spot in his palate for
savory meat and that he had great tact
in gratifying it.- At that time rabbits
were almost as numerous iu S.merset
county as they are in Australia now.
In fact the woods were full of them.
Every evening Durning would appoint
a committee of four or live of the largest
lsys to entrap rabbits the next fore
noon. It goes without saying that the
committee usually reiiorted progress.
Haifa dozen of the bunnies was not an
unusual "take.' In the school-noin
was a large fire place where the teacher
had his rabbits spitted- and roasting
while the school was iu session. The
cardinal principles of etiquette were
first taught iu the schools of the coun
ty by this teacher. Whenever a. visitor
entered the school-room, at a given sig
nal from the teacher, the whole school
would rise and courtesy with a low
and a scrape of the foot. Then and for
many years afterwards such a thing as
sw.tpingasch(Kl-roni was not thought
f. Tlie dust and filth accumulated on
!ie 11 ;r and even tin the walls, until
the place became quite as filthy as the
old court r.sims of Lindsn, the diff
erence Iving they never "burned the
juniis-r" in the school-room.
When a visitor npjieared and the
school had "salaamed," the visitor, of
course, was seated, but some of the chil
dren took advantage of the teacher's
impaired vision, ami remained stand
ing and scraping until the room was so
full of dust that for a whole hour the
school kept sneezing and coughing.
All problems were solved on slates.
They knew nothing of blackboards.
Goose quills furnished the js ns. To
make a pen of these quills was some
thing difficult. Durning was an ex-K-rt
at the (-uills and wrote a hand as
bold and as Itcuutiful as John Han
cock. Simeofhis copies seen by the
author thirty years ago were still legi
ble. The copies were then more than
sixty years old. Tradition says that
this teacher met, near the close of his
administration, an "Ebrcw" Jew ped
dler who digged a pit for him into
which he straightway walked. No
sooner had this son of Shylock entered
the district than he heard of the learn
ed master and the Latin book. Now
it came to pass that the aforesaid ped
dler had iu his earlier days studied the
language and he said within himself:
"We shall soon see if this pedagogu?is
an impostor." Not many days thence
he came to the house where the "sav
ant" was boarding aud he tarried tin re.
As soon as Durning saw the K-ldler he
saw another opp irtunity of displaying
his learning and he was not long in
seizing iL After supper, as was their
custom, the family and their guests
gathered at the ingleside to spin yarns
ptssi p a nd d ri n k " I Jro w n Octol er A le,"
which in this case was cider. Scarce
ly were they seated when Durning
whipped out his tVsar and asked
the peddler what he thought of it
"Well," said the peddler, "I know all
alxmt Ciesar. I have gone through It
time and again, and can repeat half of
it from memory. Now, I have heard
from a dozen of people that you are a
Latin scholar and I would like to hear
your translation of the first few para
graphs just to see how you construe it."
Darning, who did not know a word of
Latin, was dumbfounded ; he did not
utter a word. The peddler then trans
lated the first sentence, "All Gaul is
divided into three parts." "Yes," 1a-'l
Durning, greatly excited, "that is what
I always said it was, "All Gaul is quar
tered iu three halves." The master
felt that his glory had departed ami
lost no time in seeking pastures new.
IVter Weltley was one of the pioneer
ti.achers of Somerset county, and a gsd
one. He was also a jsitter, and so far
as the author could liarn erc-ted the
first pottery of any pretensions in the
county. His methods of teaching were
less crude ami more systematic than
those of some of his predecessors. He
soon found that he would cither have
to abandon the pottery or teaching, ami
he chose the former. All of his sons,
of whom he had quite a numls-r, after
wards lcame teachers atone time or
another. W. H. Wellley, now ami for
some time past. Lord High Mayor of
Somerset, is a grandson of this pioneer
teacher. The grandfather was a life
long iVmocrut, and a pillar of the par
ty in the section in which he resided.
1 le was loved and tru.-.ted by every one
who knew him, but in silkies he was
no match for his grandson "the Gov
ernor," as the s.qiiel will show. When
IVter Wellley reached the age of sixty
he retired from b.isinss but never fail
ed to do his whole duty iu a js.lilical
cttmpuigu. It was his duty the day
la-fore the election to fold the tickets
and tie tiu-m up in a convenient form.
The canvassers and any one el.-e who
wanted tickets would call on Wellley
and get them. At that time state, coun
ty and municipal otliecrs were voted for
on separate slips, but they were all
tied iu one parcel and the election in
spector would ojK-n and distribute
them to the section of the election b :v
where they ltclotiged. A certain elec
tion was to U- held Monday. The Sat
urday preceding Mr. Wellley completed
his job of folding ami tying the tickets
and placed them carefully inn drawer,
not for a moment susjcting that some
times a man's foes are they of his own
household. His grandson, the Gov
ernor, known also by the ihm deplume
of "Julius," then aisiut nine years old,
was present, an interested an I appa
rently innocent spectator. Win. II.
Wellley has always la-en a red hot Ile-
publican, and so far as "pulling mp.s"
is concerned could give valuable infor
mation to M. S. ti'iay. Though he is
accused of doing valuable work in this
line since, he never did anything that
quite came up to the job he put up on
his grand sire, as alsiuttole related.
IVter Welil. y was a pious, venerable
old man, and went to church on Sun
day, the day after he had done bis
ticket work. Julius completed the first
part of ills ticket work on Saturday
night, and the second part on S'inday.
Shortly after iK-ople had gone to
church, he stealthily entered hisgraud
sire's win 1 w unobserved, to ! away
about two-thirds of the tickets his
grandfather had p!a-ed iu the drawer,
and placed iu their stead full-blisMl.il
Republican tickets. Monday the Demo

Cradled in obscurity, reared in ad
versity, environe-1 by obstacles which
others thought insurmountable, Jot
J. Stutzm-au liecaine at once the found
er ami the promulgator of the princi
ples of education as they cxisit in Som
erset con nt v to-da v. He was lum in
Ib-othersvallcy township, on a farm,
where, w ith the re-t of tlie family he
toiled until he was a young man. All
school advantages were denied him.
However, lie learned to read; and
while turnint; the furrow he was
constantly studying, sometimes with a
book in one hand while he was guid
ing the plow with tlie other. It was
but a short time until his snpremacy in
knowledge was conceded and he U-gan
to think of making teaching his life
work. His iareiits at this time moved
to Ohio, then the frontier of the west
ern fc-.ttlcments. There was little
chance for a teacher in a country so
thinly settled as Ohio at that time, so
Stutzman found time to make love to
a lieautifu! woman of the Iluekeye state
aud got married. He at once discern
ed that Su lersct county was the place
for him, and he immediately returned
to it anil began his work. Not a year
had jiassed after he had opened his
school until his fame as a teacher hail
spread all over Somerset and lied ford
counties, and Allegany county, Mary
land. IJesides having a school num
bering from eighty to one hundred pu
pils bis house was filled with men who
had com to prepare for teaching, or
win) wanted to fit themselves for the
study of the professions. The language,
if such it limy be culled, of conversation
in Somerset county at that time, was
Pennsylvania Dutch. Most of the citi
z -ns could understand some English,
but very few could sjeak it- Stutzman
was the first teacher to insist that only
English should lie spiken in the schools
oron the play-ground. This tal-oo of
the Dutch was rigidly adhered to
throughout his a Imiulstratio.i and did
mre than anything else to place Sm-erst-t
so far in advance of Ilcrks in this
particular. The tussel the children
liad in getting rid of their mother tongue
is well shown in the following in
cident : A girl about twelve years old,
who, in after years betum? the wife of
one of the most prominent men of the
county determined she would not seak
a word in school if she had to talk
EnglUh. Her vow was rigidly kept.
. All her teacher heard her say was
TIT 1 1
Jtleraia.
"Yes," and "No." One day when he
was returning to school at noon be
heard a great commotion in the school
room aud heard some one say that thcy
bad broken the table. He rushed into
the room and iu a voice that was more
owerful than pleasant said: "What is
broken ?" The girl forgot her vow and
replied, "O, vat is broke? de dish
is broke !" "Dish" meaning table.
Everything at that time was rated
at a direct money value. When Stutz
man introduced grammar, there was a
great outcry against it. I5y explana
tion and argument he carried the joiiit.
Such was his zeal in this particular
branch that he corrected people on the
street, in the stores, and wherever he
heard an error in conversation. For
his audacity in this direction he did
not eventually have to drink hemlock
as did Socrates of old for an otfen-e nt
dissimilar, but he had the title "Gram
mar King" conferred. When he was
not correcting people's grammar he
would impart general in fnrm.it ion to
his audience in the store or on the
highway. He was the first to intro
duce object lessons. His schooI-nMiiii
always contained large Uixes well
stocked with currycombs, stones cloth,
ore, coal, different kinds of wood, in
sects, Ac. Each article was appro
priately laUIed. The pupil was rt
quird to hold up the object so that the
whole cla-s could see it, then spell it
and tell all he k:iw alsmt it. The
"Grammar King" was the tir-t to at
tempt a thorough classification of a
school in the county and to run it on
time program. Partiality and favor
ism that had made many enemies
among former teacher's patrons were
never shown to any by him. lie was
even more severe with his own chil
dren than with others. The old arith
metics teaching pounds, .shillings and
js-nce exclusively, were thrown aside
and others introduced which taught
l'liite.1 States money. Many of the
children were without books becausc
thcir parents were ts jxsir to buy them.
The " Grammar King" lxiught lxxiks at
his own exis-nse and either loaned or
gave them to those children. He was
the fir-t to introduce hiack-l-oards and
teach habits of personal cleanliness.
Though somewhat brusque in his
language he was a man of kind heart
and much personal magnetism. He
was a burn instructor. Though sent
to the legislature by his district and
tiiouuh he had many other honors con
ferred upon him, they never gave him
half the pleasure that a fiery c nitcst at
a spelling lee always did. Numlxrs
of his pupils are still living in and out
side of the county who never meef with
out paying great homage to the iim-mio-ory
of their "old master." The great
est monument ever erected to the mem
ory of any man in the county is found
erected to th" "Grammar King" in the
status of education as it now exists.
Whoever hereafter may manage the
helm of the ship of education in the
county; and whatever may be the jxiint
reached in the schools the "Grammar
King's" work, his example, and the
principles he founded will stand
"As some t ill rlitf th it lifts its awful form ,
Swells from the vale and midway eh-aves
the storm.
Though round about its hn-ast the n.lling
clones an spn-ad,
Ktertuil sunshine settles on lis head."
A Reformed Parrot
In our cabin we had quite a men
agerie of tame K-astsaud birds. When
I was sjxikell to by this parrot, while
passing, I turne! and closely inspected
its face. It winked.
There was something iu its mere
wink so pious, and something so unctu
ous iu its voice, that I feel confirmed
in my suspicions that this was the pen
itent parrot. Without being in the
least annoyed by any one, and while
seemingly g:iztug out iu a dream over
t'llii blue, this bird would suddenly
break out with a volley of mariners'
patois and oaths enough to turn the air
purple around it.
At length, when it was heard that
some ladies had declared that they
would never sail in a ship with such
a bird again, and it was resolved that
the parrot must le cured of its bad
habits and so it was. Its oaths were
invariably followed by a ducking.
A large bucket of salt water was
emptied on the px.r bird's head, each
splash accompanied by a remark,
"You've lecii swearing." Polly was
thoroughly cured by this.
Once, when the boat had shipped a
heavy sea which gave the reform.-; I par
rot a severe ducking, the bird, con
scious of its own innocence, descended
from his perch and n-jKiirxsl to the plav
of poultry. There it walked up and
down liefore the deluged fowls, saying:
"You've been swearing! You've 1-ecn
swearing!"
The Origin of Postage Stamps.
Tlie origin of the postage stamp has
a tinge of romance in it. It was thirty-seven
years ago that Rowland Hill,
while cr.issing a district in the north
of England, arrived at the dxr of an
inn where a postman had stoptx-d to
deliver a letter. A young girl came
out to ruvive it; she turned it over ami
over iu her hand and asked the price
of postage. This was a large sum, and
evidently the girl was poor, for the
postmaster demanded a shilling. She
sighed sadly and said the letter was
from her brother, but that she hail no
money, and so she returned the letter
to the ixistmaii. Touched with pity,
Mr. Hill paid the postage and gave the
letter to the girl, who seemed very
much ctnliarrassetL Scarcely had the
postman turned his Uuk, when the
inn-kccer's young daughter confessed
that it was a trick U-tweeii her and her
brother. Some signs tn the ciive!.ie
told her all she wanted to know, but
the letter contained no w riting. "We
are Imth so poor," she added, "that we
invented this mode of corresponding
without aying for the letters." The
traveler continuing his road asked him
self if a system giving rise to such frauLs
was not a vicious one. liefore sunset
i Rowland had planned to organize the
postal service upon a new Isisis with
what success is known to the world.
For earache, put a couple of drops of
Tnomas' Eclectrie Oil on a bit of cot
t n and place it in the ear. Tiie p iin

enough, isn't It?

A Useful Cigar.
Kn.in the bitnlim Tid Bits.
A g.xxl story is told of a sea captain
who died not long ago mi l who was
formerly iu command of a ship in
which passengers were carries! from
L-iiif-ti to LisUin. On one tx-casioii ,
the sh:; caught fire and the passengers
and crew were comjelled to take hur
riedly to the Ixiats. The captain re
mained perfectly e.x.1 throughout all
the confusion and fright of the debark
ation, and tit last every one except
himself was got safely into the boats.
ly the time he was ready to follow
the passengers were almost wild with
fear and excitement. Instead of hur
rying down the ladder, the captain
culled out to4iie sailors to hold on a
minute, and taking out a cigar from
his pocket, etsilly lighted it with a bit
of h.iming rope w hich hud fallen from
the rigging at bis feet. Then he de
scend, d with d. Tdicration, and gave
the order to pu-h oil".
"How could you stop to light a cigar
at such a moment?" he was aked
afterward, when some of the passengers
were talking over their cse-a.
"liecause," he an.-wcrcd, "I saw that
if I did not do something to divert the
minds of tlcise in the boats, there was
likely to U a panic, and, overcrowded
as it was, there was danger of the lxat
