AN ASTONISHED SCHOOL MA'AM.
A SOUTH HILL school maim, the
other day, while w orking an ex
ample on the board, detected an urchin
directly behind her in the unlawful act
of devouring an apple. She said to him,
"Tim, what are you doing V" "No'hin,"
said Tim, with his mouth bo full that
his checks stuck out on either side like
aldermen's stomachs. "Yes, you are,"
paradoxically insisted the teacher;
"what have you hi your hands V"
"'Xapple," said Tim, with some sur
prise, as he looked at the fragment of
the apple in his hand, and wondered
who had bit it while he was studying.
"What has become of the rest of it V"
"Dunno," said Tim, looking around in
an amazed eftort to discover who had
the rest of it. "Somebody's been eatin'
it." "Haveyou any more?" demanded
the teacher. "Yes'm" said Tim dole
fully, "got 'nother." "Where is it?"
relentlessly pursued the teacher. "In
my desk," sighed Tim, as he began to
suspect that the teacher was going to
demand it of him. "Well, take it out
and go stand on the platform and eat
it" MEat 'em bothV" queried Tim.
"Yes, eat them both." "Eat all I got ?"
demanded Tim in a subdued tone of
countenance. "Yea, eat all you have,"
impatiently responded the teacher, and
turning to the board continued,, "and
don't you leave that platform while you
have an apple uneaten." Silence reigned
in the school room. The paper pellet
pursued its tranquil transit unobserved.
The busy hum of the studious made
more noise than the cautious smile of
the Indolent. Tim stood at his post.
The fragment in his hand soon dis
appeared, and he fell upon the other
apple silently but determinedly,
Uulckly it followed the first. Then he
put his right hand in his pocket and
took out an apple, and, after a cautious
reconnoiter, during 'which he wiped
it on his trowscrs, he began the attack.
He carried the fort. Down went the
hand again and another apple was
brought to light It was quickly dis
patched. A third followed.
Then he changed his position, and
resting the weight of his body on his
left leg, sighed as he drew from his left
breeches pocket another apple,
, . When it wag gone he drew on the
commissary for another, and, by the
time be produced the eighth apple he'
was silently being observed by two
thirds of the boys in the room. The
teacher turned mid saw the boy still,
Mtanding in the attitude of one who was
reaching for something In (hlsi coat

"Aren't., you through yet?" the
queried in some astonishment, , ,,( , ,'

Tim, producing it and falling to .work,'

committee to look after the buck emmties.
The boy never changed a muscle of his
countenance nor moved an Inch, while
that teacher pulled apple after apple
from his coat, and stacked them upon
the desk, until there was something less
than a peck piled up, with Dade county
to hear from. Tho matter hasn't been

Lost In the Bush.
AKTOHYcomestousby the Australian
mail which will fill many a moth
er's eyes with tears, and touch the stern
er hearts of all those true men who love
little children and are tender to them.
The colony was ringing with It when
the steamer came away, to the temporary
forget fulness of gold fields and railways,
of general elections, and the fight be
tween Victoria and New South Wales
about the river Murray;' . Years hence,
probably It will get Intb Imllad, and be
"sung or said" to the tiny Australian
generations to come, like the "children
in the Wood" to their small cousins at
home. ' '
Its heroes are three little people two
brothers andasister of whom the eldest
boy was nine, and the youngest five, the
girl being seven years of age. They were
children of a carpenter named Duff, who
worked at a sheep station near a place
called Horsham. In Australia small
hands can help; so these three babes
used to be sent after brush-wood for
brooms and lires. They had gone dozens
of times, and had come back safely; but
this once, when their mother sent them,
they wandered into the bush, and
missed their way, and at night there
were their little cots empty, and their
little plates of supper getting cold, but
no children. "Lost in the bush I"
Think what that means for an Austra
lian mother when vigorous men have
sometimes wandered but a hundred yards
from the track in those labyrinth of
gum-trees and wattles, and goes hope
lessly forward and backward and back
ward and forward, till they have laid
themselves down to die. Of course
there was a search for them, all night,
and day, many nights and many days,
and every hour of the weary time steal
ing the hope slowly out of the hearts of
the father and mother.
At last they did what ought to have
been done before they called the instinct
of the savage to help them find at least
the corpses of the wanderers. Nobody can
explain that instinct; everybody who
has hunted or travelled with wild tribes
has wit nessed It. The face of the ground
to them is like a leaf of a book to us
they read It, One of the Australian
blacks will tell you if a kangaroo has
crossed a creek by the displacement of
a pebble , blindfold him, and bring him
nto the thick of the eucalyptuses, he
will point to his "gunya" miles away;
it is the sixth sense of races brought up
in a life that could not exist on five.
The blacks soon found the trail of ' the
poor little three ; and to find one end for
them was to be sure of the other. "They
would be dead, alas I" but it was some
thing to have their pretty bodies away
from the crows, the buzzards and the
dingoes. ' So father and mother and
friends, on the eight day after the loss,
followed the native trackers step by step.
,"Here littlest one tired look, sit down!"
says one block blood-hound; and present
ly another grunts "Big one carry see,
travel in dark tumble into this brush."
Father on still, the keenest of the pack
finds the mark where "little one put
down too tired" and thus they search
.every nook, corner, bush, and thicket
'until at last they are rewarded. The
little ones are found lying asleep in each
'other's arms, not with the robins cover
ing them with leaves, but in the hut. of
a biihbman who had kindly cared for
them. ' , .

AN UNEXPECTED MEETING.
IT was early in the sumniei of 1845, that
I found myself on board the Sultana,
just backing out from the levee at New
Orleans, and turning her sharp low prow
up the Mississippi lUver. As usual at
this season of the "ear, the boat was
crowded, both with deck and cabin pas
sengers, the former consisting of some
hundred German emigrants bound up to
a settlement In Missouri.
The boat plowed on Bteadily northward
now passing some lofty bluff, and now
for hours skirting the low woodlands of
Louisiana and Arkansas, and now stop
ping and roundlng-to at some temporary
landing, to " wood-up," or at some sugar
plantation, to discharge a small party,
consisting of a plonter ond his family
from the city.
But when night came and the steamer
rounded-to for wood at one of those wild
spots on the river's banks the only
Inhabitants being some two or three
wood-cutters and their families, with
perhaps a slave or two, and the only
recommendation that the spot offered for
settlement being its proximity to an
available forest of wood the scene was
grand beyond description. Torches were
flying hither and thither, deck hanfls
always In large numbers running from
the boat to the shore on one line of
planks and coming hack on another
loaded with wood, which was hastily de
posited on deck, and then hurrying off
again. No wilder scene can be imagin
ed ; the bright lights of the steamer's
state-rooms throwing their gleamings
deep Into the forest's thickness.
The first day on board the steamer a
young and very handsome German wo
man, who was evidently too ill to endure
the hardships of a deck passage, had
been taken into the cabin and her pas
sage paid by a purse made up by the
passengers. She had arrived in a ship
at New Orleans, two days before coming
on board the steamer, and was, in com
mon with the rest of the German pas
sengers,bound for the settlement in Mis
souri. Her illness was solely caused by
weakness, brought on by continued sea
sickness and the want of those little
comforts and necessities impossible at
sea. She had no intimate friends among
her country people on board, but hod
Joined them at Hamburg, on shipboard,
and had thus arrived In America. Her
object was to meet her husband, who had
agreed to be at this settlement, and who
had sent her the means, though not
quite enough in amount to come and
join him. There might have been a hun
dred such cases on board, and little curi
osity or interest excited by them ; but
in her case, a strange fascination involv
ed one. She was so young, so patient,
so pale with sickness and deprivation
that one could not but feel deeply inter
ested in her.
Having some knowledge of medicine,
I had been called upon, by the captain
of the Sultana, to administer from his
medicine chest to the assistant engineer,
who had come out of New Orleans so ill
as to create some fears for his life, but
being an excellent man the captain
would not leave him, preferring to bring
him away from the city and to take care
of him on board. He had exposed him
self at night, and had taken the country
fever, as it Is called, and though it was
but slightly upon him, still he was far
too 111 to leave his berth.
We had touched at Vh ksburg, Grand
Gulf, Natchez, etc., and were steaming
gallantly on towards St. Louis. Find
ing my patient on the engineer's deck
in want of many of the absolute neces- i
sltles of life, In his sick condition, I !
iook some portions of my own ' ward- !
role, and after representing the case to i
the cabin pashengers at lunch onc day, j
obtained from them some Important ad- j
dltlons ia his" comforts In the way .'of ;i
clothing, linen, eteV When this arrange- l
ment was made, ' our young Gerumr j
woman, unuersi&nuing inin mere was
another on tord like herself, sick', and
heeding the charity of the good people
of the cabin, begged to be permltted.now1
that she was so much " letter,' 'to make
up uny article he mlghf require, where
in a womnn's needle might do so.
and nourishing food, kindness ajnd com
fortable accommodations we're Jfact ;r
siorlri the color of her cheek, ami the
lightness of her eye. ' She was. permlU
ted to do as she desired, and totide sever
al necesshry under garments foif thesli
man, with surprising neatness and des
patch, showing herself a perfect ml i.
tress of the needle. They were received
with due thanks by the sick man, who
was most grateful, and who showed
good promise of recovering ere long.
- It was the custom to pay off the of
ficers of the boat on coming In sight of
the termination of tho Voyage oil trip
up ; and when one fine morning the
river's bend had been passed," and EV
Louis was in sight, the ; clerk's office,
situated in the extreme forward part of
the cabin, was thrown open, and a bell
summoned the officers to receive their
pay. My patient had recovered so far
as to have done duty on the last day of
the trip, and was, with the rest, called
up to settle, by the captain. .
We were at breakfaBt In the after
part of the cabin, when suddenly a
scream, so shrill as to startle every soul
at table and to bring me with some
others to our feet at once, rang through
the saloon. All eyes were turned to
wards the clerk's office, from whence
the sound had proceeded.when we found
the young German woman, who had
been our companion, through charity,! n
the arms of the assistant engineer I
44 What means this ?" I asked of my
late patient, hastening forward.
44 Sir, this Is my wife!" '
For a moment there was the stillness
of death about us, while each one seem
ed to be realizing the scene, the remark
able coincidence before us ; and then one
ioud prolonged cheer rang through the
cabin, so hearty and whole-souled as to
cause even the timbers of the Sultana to
tremble.
It was even bo. The engineer was
then on his last upward passage, but had
no idea that his wife would be so soon in
America, and much less that she was
In the same boat with him.' -
It (s so true that " one good turii de
serves another," that the passengers
would not part with the now thrice hap
py couple, without once more making
up a purse of gold and pressing It upon
them, as a remembran ce of the passen
gers who made the up trip with them In
the Sultana. ''' '
A Feminine Fight.
In a Cincinnati street, Just as an audi
ence, from a theatre matinee was dis
persing, a brunette,and a blonde,equally
well dressed and ladylike in appearance,
suddenly fell upon each other, In the
way thus described In the Enquirer :
44 The tiny dark woman made a grab at
the brunette's duck Of a bonnet, and dis
lodged a handful of artificial lilies of
the valley, and tuberoses from the side
next to Koehler's drug store. One
swoop of the blonde's off claw stripped
the brunette's head of as beautiful a set
of hair as was ever bought at a store.
Then they stood glaring at each other
like fighting cocks for ten seconds.when
the blonde said 4 bah,' and started west
ward. The brunette drew up her little
form till It overtopped a store box, and
In a voice that was grand with emotion
exclaimed: 4 You you you .' She,
too, started off, after thus having re
lieved her mind."
What no One Earned.
When Field Marshal von Moltko was

bers of bis mess by regularly taking ten
Frederick d'ors out of his pocket, at the
beginning of dinner, and laying them
leslde his plate. Always after dinner he
repocketed the gold, buttoned up his
coat, looked sourly around, and disap
peared. It was resolved to ask him the
meaning of this strange behavior.
44 Well," he said, 44 1 have noticed that
from the time I entered ' this regiment
the conversation at table has always
turned on women, or cards, or horse
racing, and I had determined to make a

subject. No one has yet earned them.V
